I understand how procedural generation can help you guys build natural enviroments like planets. But what about cities, space stations and animals. You'll have to script them and it will take alot of memory.
@Ultermarto Nah bud, procedural generation can handle alot of that as well.. as a matter of fact.. most of it. The work that goes into it is pretty tedious. Procedural generation can pump out some weird shit if your not careful, but once you get your engine down, you can have it do pretty much anything. The thing is, they have to design a different procedural engine for the city, however it wouldnt be as hard as the planet generating one. I used to use procedural generation in old A++

Vaporware. Announced years before Its release. "vaportalk" has no single definition. It is generally used to describe a hardware or software product that has been announced by its developer, but has not been released. Vaporlist, a list of companies that have announced their products too early, I'm hoping to dissuade them from this practice.
I have to say my favorite part of this is the zoom out at the end. It just looks so beautiful as you see the planet and then zoom out until all you can see of the planet is a small crest of it that is lighted and the shadow on its currently dark side.
I hope there'll be businesses and discovery of planets / setting up colonies and harvesting materials on them. So it will be a player economy run game to allow the building of spacecraft (if you have the utilities and manufacturing building necessary ofc)
I bet these types of games are fixing to take over in replacement of the space program, since we just converted back to the rocket age retiring every shuttle we no longer going to have, if only we had corporate sponsors that would be willing to fund a massive scale project that would land people into orbital space we could increase jobs like no one's business while advancing in space technology, think about it, we would need 100,000 people just to build the ships and thousands more to monitor
When its completed, this game is going to be something truly incredible. Ive been following for some time now and it just seems to get better and better.
What I meant is that this is not in our solar system, so I made an exaggerated comment on how close "Saturn" would be to "earth" at that distance... Some people really don't have any idea of how big our solar system really is...
i was so happy when i first found out about infinity.... was waiting for space sim since Elite and this looks to be exactly what im looking for, plus its an online game ... this is just too good to be true :)
Well if you're talking about the combat prototype then that isn't really a good benchmark seeing how many new features have been implemented into the engine since then, and lots of others are missing from the proto.
@hcvang The problem is It's damn near impossible to find a job in my area, and even if I had one, all my money would go towards bills and food anyway.
it aint the first.....there is a game called evochron which was the first game to be able to do that with NO loading screens. I think the latest one is called evochron: legends ...that makes this the second game and the amazing thing is evochron was made by only ONE PERSON ALONE
looks a lot like X3 which is a great game, only problem is it gets lonely :'( and blowing up AI pilots just isn't the same as real people :D Also X3 has no interaction with planets, which is nice to see in infinity. Looks great, just hope it doesn't go tits up, or they rush it out and turns out crap. But!!! looks great so far, good job!
cant wait to play this, it will be my first space sim game ever, also I cant wait to see what elite 4 will look like,even tho I never played any frontier games, the realism and scale of these games are awsome!
one thing I was wondering is will planets have a south and north pole??? Because if I recall theres no sign of poles in most of the planets screenshots. Bye!
This is not vapourware. It's gonna be released within a year or 3 and it's gonna be unlike anything you've ever played on a PC. Eve can't touch this game. It's gonna be huge and accurate with enormous planets that you can actually land on in realtime. The oly games that can pull that off right now are Elite and Zavtra Voina (Tomorrow War).
@Phelan666 yep, does this feel good for you? It sucks for me cause I would have wanted to play it by now.
Still, you can't say it's vapourware because since this trailer there have been new trailers showing off new work in progress. Check out the "new" (half year old) trailer, you'll be amazed. But you're right, the game hasn't been released yet. It may well take another year or three but I'm confident they are still working on it.
@KingHaggis said 3 years ago "This is not vapourware. It's gonna be released within a year or 3 and it's gonna be unlike anything you've ever played on a PC."
Yeah, sure. Not even the engine is finished, let alone the game which -basically- doesn't exist - except as nice wish list
Ive red about it... lost their site tho... its gonna b finished by the end of 2007 and they dunno if they want to make it F2P or P2P... its cool im gonna pay for it it kicks EVE's ass all the way into Outer-OuterSpace... With a Hyperdrive in its Ass HAHA Owns!
lol end of 2007 ? sry but maybe u mean the end of 2009 or 08. its only one genious programmer, let him go at his own pace. expect a beta at like end of 08 or somthing.
what are u talking about, this is simply a very old by now, engine test. You should really actually look in the forums for development to see how much the scale of this game crushes EVE lol
We're working on an advanced version for 2008 with real time rendering of inside ships, stations, buildings. We're now using the Reality Engine. www.artificialstudios.com
This is how "Star Wars Galaxies" should have been. The only thing that would bother me here is that (from reading about it) you wouldn't be abble to go return to the same place you once wher... could you?
If only it had realistic orbital physics, If a space station wasn't moving in reference to the planet, It would drop like a rock.

A good start. But there's nothing groundbreaking here.
Rendering a seamless world & wrappping a 'game' around it is a different story. Tech demos are not games.
My games rendered *entire* worlds (space + planet) since first proto in 1989. It became a game in 1996.
I just released another one.
Play the demo for Universal Combat SE. The demo shows off all the game's features and tech.
