I don't like house rules in many cases, because in many cases it's just an excuse for someone who's bad at the game to ignore a rule that impedes their progress.

What not to do: for the love of god, we don't need escort quests with AI. No matter HOW sophisticated the AI is, it's inevitably more frustrating than it is fun.

I don't think it's so much that you're being squeaky, but HOW you're being squeaky.

That's the way game dev works, you know. It's a set of developers who establish rules for the game that players play. So yeah, they're ALLOWING us to do that :P

[quote who="Kavik_Kang" reply="16" id="3651207"] Don't use a joystick! This was a HUGE subject of debate within the Subspace community for many years. In the end, most agreed that gamepad and keyboard were "equal but different" in controlling this type of game. Some of the top players were gamepad, a seemingly equal amount of the rest were keyboard. All the even just "good" players could see and understand the different things you could do with one and not the

They have mentioned that console is a market they'd like to hit. I mean, I've never played the game with a gamepad, I've almost exclusively played with a joystick or a keyboard.

Yes, and the budget for this game is huge, larger than anything SD has done to date, iirc. And SD has made MUCH more in depth content with smaller budgets, so...

Ah, I think you're failing to see the value in this. Replay value, new game+ without having to start over, avenues for more story. There's lots of reasons to add that.

I'm pretty sure that ui layout has the console release in mind.

I agree, I'm just playing devil's advocate based on my own knowledge of the industry.

I wasn't taking a shot at you. I was addressing your point. Please don't take everything personally. There's a very big difference between attacking you and addressing points and concerns you've made.

I don't know, I don't think that's actually that much a stretch when you consider it just has to be slightly more geometry under the liquid surface. A few hundred extrusion into the planet's crust to make an ocean or a sea :P

I can't recall if this was ever actually officially mentioned, but do we know if underwater exploration is a thing? Has that been brought up yet? If not, what do you guys think? I think it would be pretty sweet. I bet you could hide some really exciting lore stuff on the ocean floor of an exotic alien planet ;D

That's...not at all what I'm trying to do, dude. You're making a mountain out of a molehill. I'm not demonizing dissenting opinions, I am debating. Are you so intent on making me out to be the bad guy that you don't see the hypocrisy of your statement? Edit: Seems to me you should ask Kavik where he gets his tinfoil hats. Edit 2: To make it very clear, I actually encourage dissenting opinions, but when I present my opinion, alo

But I wasn't stating opinions, I was stating facts with hard evidence of sales. Empirical evidence. Hotline Miami: http://steamspy.com/app/219150 Minecraft: https://mojang.com/2016/06/weve-sold-minecraft-many-many-times-look/ Terarria: https://www.youtube.c

[quote who="SavageMind1" reply="9" id="3650716"] I was turned off at turn based combat. It was ok at one time, then I found Dune 2 and Command and Conquer series. There is a bit of realism with RTS that I appreciate. The enemy never waits their turn and I like thinking on the fly. As much as I wanted to be interested in Halcyon 6, I'm just not. The retro graphics are bit of a turn off for me. I like playing old games with those graphics and get a really hyped when someone does a rema

[quote who="Hunam_" reply="10" id="3650729"] ^ booo. As much as I love Dune 2: Battle for Arrakis, Heroes of Might & Magic 2 has a special place in my heart. [e digicons]:smitten:[/e] [/quote] I wish the HD remastering wasn't just so awful in terms of support. The port runs terribly on Windows 10, and I don't really have any intention of building a machine just to play classics, as much as I'd love to do that.

For the record, I'm also concerned about that. I know it sounds patronizing to hear that they feel we have no context of the gameplay right now, but maybe that's because it's so different (in positive ways) that it's something we just have to do hands on?

I for one welcome our Mycon overlords. Spread Juffo-Wup!

Woah, buddy. Just because we're founders doesn't give us any kind of actual creative control. We can influence, but we don't need to wax hyperbolic.

[quote who="ShadeDark" reply="60" id="3650083"] Still thinking on a name ITS HARDER THAN IT SOUNDS FOR SOME! (BTW, some lovely names approved! the weird thing is there is more names than active founders!) [/quote] I noticed that as well. Come on, guys. Be more active. We don't bite much. Except maybe me. And Kavik. But mostly me. Also, take a wild guess which one is my planet :P
