    Anyone going to GDC 2018?

    Nice! Cool to hear somebody is going :-) I had noticed it come up, but ouch on those prices. A few of us recently went as a group to a smaller niche conference thing in Switzerland to try out having a booth and such, that was both fun and exhausting. I wouldn't mind doing something similar...

    Contributor Hi! I'm Manas.

    Hey there, welcome! Going through a bunch of recent activity and spotted your PR and intro thread here, all merged with credits updated and contributor badge added woo! :-) That chemistry thing sounds very interesting! I had a similar concept in mind for eventual magic systems, there may even...

    GSoC Proposal Draft (seeking feedback): Extending “Light and Shadow” Gameplay and Functionality

    Very nice write-up! Especially since the application period isn't even open yet :-) As a general note that proposal is packed - I imagine you could work on all that stuff for a year or longer, unless you're just an absolute code writing monster :-) I would suggest picking a few of the major...

    A place for documentation

    Thanks for the feedback Jelly :-) I've been doing a lot of thinking over the last few days as well as some experimenting. It has gotten me to consider three high level topics involved here: The split between dev docs and player docs (two different sites) The technology used behind the scenes...

    Intro Hey, I'm Bruce

    Hey Bruce! Nice to meet you, sorry for taking a little while to reply :-) Coincidentally I just replied in another thread earlier that might also apply to you for an interest in Genome-related stuff: https://forum.terasology.org/threads/gookeeper-game-concept.2099/#post-15597 - that includes a...

    GooKeeper - Game Concept

    Absolutely you can help and yep Java will be a piece of cake with a C# background. Starting hint: get a source workspace up and running in IntelliJ if you haven't already, then run "groovyw module recurse WildAnimalsGenome GooeysQuests" - you'll get a pile of modules and at least one...

    GooKeeper - Game Concept

    Love it! Especially the infographics :D I went ahead and reworked the generic/gameplay template item on our GSOC ideas list to include this as one of the examples: https://github.com/MovingBlocks/Terasology/wiki/GSOC#example-ideas (Edit: also added Metal Renegades)

    A place for documentation

    Thoughts kept churning so I started sketching a new thing: https://sketchboard.me/DAUNYYeXLFHi - still rough Using a module repo as an example at the "Tell me ALL of the things!" layer, possibly a tutorial module. Includes versioned docs, API notes etc, although I don't exactly know what the...

    A place for documentation

    I pick ... the worst possible option, which isn't even on the poll: all of the above! Bear with me, I already feel terrible starting such an awful response ... :D I've looked at the topic repeatedly and the most clear (if you can call it that) map of my thoughts are at...

    Source Hey there!

    Hi there and welcome! The Python growth simulator on its own is a pretty old concept at this point and was used partly as inspiration for GrowingFlora. You don't necessarily need to do a straight port of the original code, more use it further for inspiration. Genome on the other hand has seen...

    Featured Alpha 9 is released and likely the final one using our engine at v1!

    The v2.0.0 version bump has been applied to the engine repo and about 80 module repos that had a dependency on Core. Decently confident that'll avoid any dependency issues - for now. Unless we have some stealthy third party module development communities hiding out there anyway. Developers...

    Featured Alpha 9 is released and likely the final one using our engine at v1!

    This release contains most the stuff that came in during GCI 2017 and then some. Immediately after this we're beginning to merge things into the engine for v2.0.0 that are not guaranteed to be backwards compatible: our first new major release (for about two years?) since we adopted SemVer. That...

    Featured Play test Saturday with (final?) Alpha 9 RC, GCI complete, GSOC starting soon, Ludicious was neat

    Bit of a mouthful there but as usual news keeps piling up until there is a chance to write it all out in one big glorious mess :) Ludicious and "TeraConf" Ludicious happened in Zurich Jan 18-21st and a few of us were in attendance with a booth and everything. The day before it started we...

    meta-server

    IMHO the meta server should remain both minimal and optional. I'd even be happy to see it somehow crammed into a GitHub page for better hardening, but maybe that's crazy. Extensive stuff like module browsing / ranking, wiki, and so on is out of scope for the meta server. That's a whole separate...

    Google Code-In 2017 Mentor Recap Thread!

    1. Tell us about yourself! I'm Cervator everywhere other than when my real name Rasmus Praestholm is used. I've been here since the arbitrary point we declared day 1 long ago when the old forum came online, although @begla was coding some even before that point. I do things. Not as many things...

    Question to Github

    Hey there, sorry about the delay in responding to this. Been a busy trip to Europe here for me personally :-) That guideline is a little rough still, the goal was to have better details and steps to cover all that, but that's still missing. You can get the IntelliJ Community Edition for free...

    Featured Terasology at Ludicious! And a small meet-up!

    Terasology is attending the Ludicious 2018 conference in Zurich as announced and bunch of contributors registered. But, wouldn’t have been cooler if we decided to take an extra day and arrange a mini-internal Terasology conference? You guessed it :) - that is exactly what we did. On January...

    Ohai! Yes game is still alive and well, seen all the activity on GitHub? We're participating in Google Code-In and multiple entire factions have been added :-)

    Question Terasology won't start

    Hi there @TheCommonGuy sorry about the delayed response to your request. We need the game log files with the full details to be able to diagnose exactly what went wrong. Just from reading your system stats I get the impression it is a newer system, but somewhat lower end. Especially the...

    Question Crashed And I Don't Know Why

    Hi @Bigcat_Mapleflight - I'm afraid the log indicates that your graphics card doesn't support what Terasology currently needs to run: 22:23:52.978 [main] ERROR o.terasology.engine.TerasologyEngine - Failed to initialise Terasology java.lang.RuntimeException: Can not initialize graphics device...
