The planet editor is awesome, can't wait till I can roll some tanks across my own planet Gotta give a "respect" shout for the Ai also.
Our first build with AI had an immediate build and bomb, rather than the current 3.5 minute delay. You should have heard me cussing at Sorian about having my base being bombed indiscriminately. It was pretty funny.
I don't know if i will have the time to play a game again, the planet editor is too epic for my eyes and my brain to handle. *shakes in excitement*
The planet editor is lovely!!! Oh I can't wait for multi-planet games I've been getting some sporadic (often reproducible) UI flickering when trying to capture the game with OBS.
Ah, I thought you had gone with somewhere in the three minute mark. Either way. It makes it a bit easier to not get bombed in 10 seconds this way.
I have to say, that AI is relentless. When I first played with it, I wasn't sure what to expect, so it took me a while to understand it and eventually got a good defense up. Next time I will know what to do to counter it within 4 minutes Great start! I have not been able to use the planet editor successfully yet but I'll try again later. Thanks!
Wow. Can't believe I missed that Night work, now ear infection. My mind is gone apparently :lol: Anywho, back to editing my spreadsheet.......
I've really been enjoying the storage buffs, the game feels a lot more refined now. The lasers are so pretty too :3 Will we ever see > 5 player FFA? I was trying to change the client side UI to enable it but no dice :cry:
I am having my own issue with the editor, it seems that I can zoom out of the planet (as though I'm going to the system grid but it's just empty space) and then no matter which way I roll the wheel I can't get back into the SOI of the planet. I would say that even if we don't get systems we can play in with the next update, I would like to be able to build our own system, including picking the star/stars. I haven't had much fun with the current editor because the planet disappears on load as though I zoomed out and can't find it in the vastness of space.
Not something you can edit client side. If UberNet doesn't recognize the game mode, it won't allow it, even if you fake it into thinking locally it's ok. UberNet will say NO!!!! It's coming, but it'll be a while. We have some big features to finish getting in first so we can work on a phase of tuning, polish and optimization. My hope is that by beta we can get at least 20 player games going (Unlikely you'll see 20 player ffa, but at least 10 player). That may be aggressive, but it is my hope.
I figured as much, it would still let me try to create a FFA game with 10 slots, but the lobby would always show five. Do you guys ever do any local events in Seattle?? I live downtown!
We haven't yet, but I expect we will. We'll also likely be at PAX Prime, though not with our own booth. We'll announce where we're at soon, once we know it's all locked down.
It's times like this I loathe being UK-bound. Unless Uber wants to get me some flights to come and see them because I'm awesome.
Yay PAX! I take my whole company there every year. I'd love to see a Uber PAX Party. I've always wanted to meet Mavor.
