    ATMLVE reacted to underdisk in Hello people. New hyped innocent here   
    Hey people. It seems that here is the place to say hello. I've discovered the game recently and I never felt so hyped for something. I never played such a game (my only space-related game being the original 2005 Battlefront II,  wich isn't even comparable). I also heard somewhere that I may have an organization project. But shhht, it's a secret!
    Hope I will have the game in my hands early enough.
     
    Also it's been a long time since I registered to a forum. Last time was on a french forum related to a sandbox game with cubes wich I don't remember the name (hehehe)

    ATMLVE reacted to BliitzTheFox in Cities   
    A city draws people in because of services and because it is cheaper. Services that require many people to be supported can only be in major cities as people have the easiest access to them. Typically in real world cities the first service any town is able to support is a bar (rough population 75-150) and a small town may have two before even a gas station. Bigger services that have more coverage such as lawyers, accountants, specialized dealers all must serve a larger number of people and area in order to stay in business. 
    The threshold is the minimum number of customers the market or service needs to remain in business; where as, the range is the maximum distance a customer is willing to travel for a market or service.
     
    you wouldn't drive 30 miles to go to a McDonalds, but you would to go to a lawyer
     
    Its really nice when you actually get to use what you learned in AP Human Geography.

    ATMLVE reacted to yamamushi in Massively OP's Best Indie/Crowdfunded MMO Game of 2017   
    It deserves to be on the list far more than Elite Dangerous does, which came out in 2014. Shroud of the Avatar is an old game at this point too (Initially Nov 2014). Pretty sure Adventure Quest 3D came out in 2016 too. 
     
    Ever Jane is on the list twice. Ashes of Creation isn't out either. 
     
    Considering their crowdfunding ended in 2017, and people have been playing it, DU most certainly does deserve a spot on the list alongside the others.

    We actually have a few news outlets at the moment.
     
    The main 2 that come to mind is Ark Central (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKgKgHeCRixJcX-Lj2107Hw) which features a roundup of the last month (or 2) or DU information by @FancyVader and also Community news by @VVV_GLORY_VVV
     
    There is also Outpost Zebra (https://www.outpostzebra.com/) which had articles by members of the community on a variety of subjects from Scripting/Design to General News and organisation interviews. This is run and moderated by @Falstaf, there are many other members that also have articles posted too which you should check out!
     
    We also have DUFM (http://du-radio.com/) which is setup and run by @yamamushi (also has an Android and iOS App!) and the newly formed Silverlight Radio (http://silverlightradio.dx.am/). Amazing contributions from these guys setting up radio stations and asking nothing of anyone!
     
    That's just a selection of news outlets, check them out

    ATMLVE reacted to Occultist in 3D Preview Suite - Download - ( Ship Designs, Constructions and Stuff )   
    Welcome to the 3D Preview Suite.
    This is a only a short introduction for you guys - have fun!
     
    What is this "3D Preview Suite" ?
    We developed this suite to simulate different ship designs - you can look at the ship from outside but can also go inside and inspect every corner of the craft!
     
    Why we are doing this?
    We only do this for one reason : we want to help the community. Our suite hopefully inspires them to grand designs and give them an idea how to design their next ship.
     
    The software we use :
    We utilize the magnificent, though old and rusty, power of "Blender Game Engine" which's totally sufficient for this program.

    For the community, from the community
    We will keep this thread up to date. As soon as there is a new update - you will know first if you follow this thread!

    The site looks awesome and it's well designed. My only suggestion would be to keep the words of the tabs on the right side out all the time, my first thought on them was an altitude indicator.
     
    This line in the warfare section has me intrigued...
     
     
    Have we heard anything about dome tech before? Is it just referring to safe zones, or a new mechanic altogether?

    ATMLVE reacted to Lethys in How Will Conquest Work   
    It wouldn't make much sense If they couldn't do anything about it. So yeah, they can attack them even though they might not be able to mine there. The exact mechanics are not finished yet, so it's all speculation. Iirc jc said somewhere that for invading they want immersive and fun mechanics and that players feel it's something big. Like having them have adjacent tiles before they can attack.

    It looks fantastic! I hope to see more makeovers like this
     
    One little nitpick though: I think they should change some of the "everyone"s and "everything"s to 'anyone' and 'anything'. For example: "Everyone can be tomorrow’s greatest innovator and rule the world with their product designs, or production factories." I get they are trying to hype people up and do some marketing and such, but this just sounds ridiculous to me. Anyone could be the the greatest innovator, but not everyone could be the greatest at the same time. Same thing for leadership. Anyone can lead an organization, but not everyone can lead. Some people have to follow or there is no point in leading.

    I've just published Outpost Zebra's next article, and its all about scripting. Dual Universe will have several languages in it; Lua and CSS are the two main ones. If you always thought that writing code was something way over your head... Well, writing code for Dual Universe might surprise you with how easy it is.
     
    Anyone Can Script is an article focusing on explaining how intuitive and easy programming will be in the game. If you feel that being able to write Lua and CSS to make yourself more valuable as a player and improve your overall experience is out of your reach... Well, I say you're wrong!

    Hello again everyone, 
     
    In my quest to interview various organisations I had the chance to have a talk with Ben Fargo. A member of the Blue Moon Crew.
    Feel free to follow this link for a look into the story behind the Blue Moon.
     
    Between Christmas and new years eve Oz will not be publishing any new content. For the simple reason that most people will be pretty busy celebrating with family and friends.
    As always I extend an open invitation to anyone who wants to have an interview or an article published.
     
    Best wishes for what promises to be an exciting Dual Universe rich year.

    He knows about this though, he says in his second paragraph that he is looking for something different from this radio station.
     
    As for that specifically, a news station with live news broadcasts and information... Yeah, that'd be awesome! I'm sure people will pick it up in due time, when it becomes applicable. There are a lot of people with ideas to document and observe DU society as it progresses. The issue is that right now, the actual game is under NDA so no one can talk about it.
     
    Right now you CAN talk about what different organizations are doing and how they're progressing, and people are doing that currently. When the time comes to do that for the actual game, there will be many active journalists.

    AFAIK, the combat systems will be the last major game feature to be implemented, so it will be many months yet before there's video's of combat mechanics available.
     
    NQ want to implement the "full game loop" in sequence, so first scanning and mining, then refining, then crafting and building. Creation of things will come first, destruction will come last. In a way, I think NQ want to send a message that DU is not intended to be "all about combat"...

    ATMLVE got a reaction from supermasternico in learn   
    Well there has already been a lot of discussion about whether allowing videos to be played on screen is a good idea. That is still up for debate. It has already been shown that static images can be displayed on screens, so propaganda and advertisements will definitely be a thing, and people will pay others to advertise for them. As for journalists, there are already awesome people that are documenting DU history; some of them call themselves the Dual Universe Historical Society. As for cameras, broadcasting people live onto screens, well that is probably more likely to happen than uploaded videos. I could see cameras being added one day, and giving screens the ability to display the camera view on them. Nothing is confirmed at this point of course, but its a neat idea!

    ATMLVE got a reaction from Lethys in AIDS   
    Sparing the philosophy that's already been said, it just wouldn't be fun, and this is a game that's supposed to be fun.
     
    Let's say there does happen to be a group that are total jerks to everyone, by anyone's standards; they even proclaim it themselves, but it is just a game after all. They still like themselves, they're having fun, and if they are strong enough to get to a point where they can conquer poor innocents, why does the other side deserve a handicap? That's not fun for the jerk bandits, because they worked for their position, they achieved it, and it wouldn't be fun to just take that away.
     
    In lots of games, yes, I see your point supermasternico, you'd want to prevent people like that. I definitely agree that in many cases, having jerks roam free is bad. But DU is a sandbox, simulating real world interactions, except at it's core its a game, and no one really gets hurt in the end, so all's fair and all's fun. If someone needs aid, then they better find a way to get it legit. There will always be people that think the "good guys" should receive an advantage, but in the end I feel the general majority wouldn't like things that way. You gotta play legit, just like the jerks did, to destroy them... Or you can join them.
