im in love with everything ive saw into ur video , how it could be and for sute the fight into planet & space!!! Since ive missed the client ICP ill be waiting for another one or beta anything so i can help !! been playing pc game for over 10 year and a tons of mmo and what ive seen into urs have the best potential u dont even know right now!!! Dont screw it !!!
If ur bigged by NOOBZ and have a good ship and some time, you can warp to a star system no one discovered yet and can peacefully build your base without any retards :D
things in space don't stay in the same place. everything moves. so it would make more sense that when you come back at the same coordinates it actually would have MOVED a bit....you know...everything is moving ?
@MrJosh4740 -- It's going to be a long time. We probably won't "destroy" ourselves but the public just doesn't have the taste, the vision, and the intelligence to want to do anything really great.
Look at the moon landing project 40 years ago. Congress cancelled the last 3 missions and hasn't sent them back because it hasn't been important to the people.
The U.S. public cares more about Miley Cyrus' hair color than exploring space.
(Miley Cyrus is cool ... but she's not THAT important) :-)
Well if you follow the drake equation, there still will be thousands of inhabitable planets to explore. I think the game should give you the option of several races starting out in different parts of the galaxy. You races will start inhabiting the richer worlds and battles will be fought along the trade lanes between the various territories. It would be like the ultimate Star Wars simulator and give you an idea of what real galactic colonization would be like.
I played EVE: Online and I found it ok logistically, that was until I saw the map. I saw the map and just closed the game, too much going on and far too much unknown.
These types of games are not for everyone. I myself don't want to play EvE because I know I'd end up giving up everyother game I play. But this...this game might change things. Ever since I've been baking out on Celestia (astronomy program) and it's real time physics and star/planet generation, I've been wanting a game that had the same capability of sheer scope/size, something you could literally get lost in for all time. This IS that game....
It would not be a burden in terms of gameplay to be able to visit every star in the galaxy since there will be 'hotspots' where large numbers of players are. The dynamics involved with possible commercial and social systems to be applied in game make it inevitable for players to revolve around 'centres', so no one gets lost.
I predict each star/system will not be unique, but a duplication of others with minor adjustments to make them seem unique (star colors...etc).
If wikipedia is to be believed, there are going to be some 200 BILLION star systems (not counting how many freakin planets are at each one). To put this into perspective, if you went down to your local beach and counted each sand particle, it would prolly be half this number...
And this is suppose to be a game?! Geez, I hate modern MMO's NOW cause I cant see everything. It would take multiple lifetimes to explore everything...at least its got resale...
@InfinitySupport Lol but sprinkle that 4 m^3 of sand across a parking lot with the area of Earth, and then try picking up each individual grain :P. It's all about perspective haha. Not a lot of sand, as long as its all in one tiny, compact area ^_^
You're not supposed to explore everything. This isn't a 90's console game with levels that you can fully explore, this is a galaxy simulating game. It allows you to explore as much as you want without ever running into walls.
It only generates content when you see it, it doesn't save all the places you can't see into it's memory. It has some simple values that can generate all the content, making it possible to make everything real sized and extremely detailed without requiring too much.
For the same reason it doesn't fill so much, since you only have to save the data needed to generate it, and not the content itself except textures and models (ships/).
No, it doesn't need to save things it generates, and since the stars and planets are generated, it doesn't need to. :)
Only if you build on them or interact with the world in a way so you edit it.
Anyways, if that freak spent 100 years playing non-stop, it would have to visit 63 star systems every single second in order to explore the whole galaxy. :)
@BlaDK44 But for example if you visited a planet and went far far away, then later came back, there had to be the same planet. So the game had to save something, or not?
Yeah, I know but that doesn't mean that programmers are limited to just one galaxy. They can make thousands procedural if they want to. I was talking about the programming technology and possibilities in the future. Like an accurate, interactive model of our universe or real time demonstration of deep space for educational purposes.
Yeeees... But then I think all the galaxies will look the same; the thing about the procedural generation inside the galaxy is that it generates everything in the same way, so you can go to another place and come back where it's exactly the same. It can be given some other seeds (or something like that), but it will still have the same shape and so on, so I guess they need to make new shapes for the galaxy and things like that to make more than one.
alot of people are talking about multiple galaxies, lets not get carried away, hell here on earth, we havent even been able to take a good look at a different planet from a different sun let alone another galaxy. if each star system can be traveled to and controlled that is way more than u can possibly explore and take over and whatever else uc an do in the game
If you have read my previous comment, you would have seen that I wasn't talking about the infinity game but the technology and possibilities it brings. By the way even one galaxy is far too large to explore in a game under normal conditions.
My God!! What you've achieved could change the world! In the 'game', or 'simulation' or 'way-of-life', whatever it's gonna end up being, people are gonna loose themselves completely. Anybody read Arthur C. Clarke's Ghost from the Grand Banks? One of the characters, a math genius, loses herself in a fractal universe like this one, searching for her daughter who'd died tragically. Anyway, I digress, keep up the amazing work, you're gonna be famous!

There won't be duplicated systems, as each of them will be generated procedurally. There will be similarities, each of them will be unique.

If you assume there are 4 grains of sand per cubic millimeter, 200 billion grains of sand works out at about 4 cubic meters of sand.
Still a lot but not quite a beach full.

A normal gaming computer should be fine.
By the time of release.
It only generates content when you see it, it doesn't save all the places you can't see into it's memory. It has some simple values that can generate all the content, making it possible to make everything real sized and extremely detailed without requiring too much.
For the same reason it doesn't fill so much, since you only have to save the data needed to generate it, and not the content itself except textures and models (ships/).
