Given how diverse and personal the concept of "this is fun" is, this is a very difficult question to answer. Since people have already voiced opinions about "short-lived" modes (ex: L&S) vs. "long-term" (ex: Steam Fortress), vs. "Career" (ex: WoW), I'll take a stab at my usual verbal diarrhea...

Sorry for the slow response time. Cervator: Yes, I figured location X,Y,Z can be grabbed from an entity/block/anything and passed to the function. nh_99: Have not spent much time on the internet the past two months. Got several things eating up my (short) attention span. But here is an...

I like it. One thing Minecraft proved was that, as content expands and the recipe count increases, people quickly seek ways to avoid having to remember all the recipe patterns. (See mods like NotEnoughItems a.k.a NEI) Having only to remember at what sort of assembly table / thing you craft a...

Marcin Sciesinski I imagined the TimeOfDay to essentially be the same as "What is my current rotation angle around my own axis?" Mainly because I envisioned that you would require that information to properly query what your point of view is. A simple float would likely suffice, except that I...

Still busy reworking the design to fit the entity & component & system approach. Certainly makes a lot more sense, since it quickly becomes apparent how much re-use you get out of generic classes. Also, utterly surprisingly, nearly exactly how we approach and program industrial control systems...

I've only started glancing at the Terasology code, since for iteration 1 I was mainly aiming at just fleshing out an idea of how it would all fit together. (I.e. "what bits do we have and what can they do?" irrespective of how exactly it is best programmed). I've just started with iteration 2...

At the moment I am approaching the whole world data structure from the point of the player's view. So that the way the data is stored is the way it 'appears' to the player how things are orbiting. (I.e. even in real life we talk about the sun 'rising' and 'setting' in the 'east' and 'west' even...

I've currently have universe changed into Teraverse.:whistle: Kinda gets the point across that it is 'everything', but also hints at the fact that it is not by default your 'normal' reality.:pinkiecrazy: Also, I'm busy drawing up a spreadsheet of all the variables and methods for the various...

Variables and methods that describe what the world looks like. I.e. the ability to pick which algorithms are used for what (within reason), and supply them with input parameters to obtained tweaked results for the world. Ex: An ocean world would increase the amount of surface that is water...

Design has slowed between me being back on site, getting some new games, and some new books. So, only MoSCoW for now. Have to still design the data structure. World Generation: Pretty straight forward requirements. Hopefully the detailed data structure will be more interesting.

Welcome aboard!:thumbsup: I'm sure more people on the AI front will be good, and you seem really motivated for it!;)

:omg:

I see catapults flinging cutter-hives in the nearby future.:D "Need to storm the fort? It's full of reds that poke you with pointy-hurty-things? Deliver unto them from upon high* the new cutter-bomb-3000! See them squirm, hear them scream! Soon you can storm the fort filled with naught but...

:omg:

Yay! :thumbsup: Updated MoSCoW: --Full release Boolean Signal version requirements-- [/spoiler]

Neat o'! For dispenser: Yes, just as if the player had thrown it as hard as possible, straight ahead in the direction the dispenser is facing. For collector: I would make it 3x3. Smallish but large enough to be of practical use without spamming collectors. All of this is already solidly in...

Awesome! Thanks!:thumbsup:

Yeah, for now I am focusing more on the general layout and approach of the world system. The general idea I have at the moment is something to this effect: Universe Dimension World Region Climate Chunk Next time: MoSCoW list for what we want the world gen to actually be capable of...

--First test version requirements-- --First playable release version requirements-- --Full release version requirements-- Sidenote on MoSCoW: You'll note that the first test version essentially echoes what you already have done, since your quest system is currently already to the...

Well, I've seen several MMO games for android. And the base rule is you need to connect to the server to do anything, as the android app is essentially just the client (GUI side of things). Then two people on android can play together, as long as they connect to the same server. If down the...
