AcedBit Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Who else here is pumped for the Pre-Alpha test coming this sept 30'th? I know that I am, and I will test, provide feedback and respect the no share on social media etc policy. It is fully understandable why sucha policy is made. I am fully aware of that the build won't be 100% stable, trust me, I know what a pre-alpha is. My computer should be able to run this game at least near perfect in terms of performance once the full optimized game is out. Knowing that JC had the game running on a slow labtop computer in a Youtube video, is good to know, considering my rig is able to run demanding games. Following is what type of base I will be building. SquidofLove, Saul Retav, Dan-Dak and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Not just the game but the server too but you have to consider the build he has right now is basically bare of features so the final version on release day will likely be a bit slower for that reason. That said ... by then the core engine will likely get performance tweaks to help improve the speed at which the features they currently have run so it could balance out "somewhat". I can't wait ... stable or not ... it'll be interesting to pus h the tech to its limits and break it so we get a stable release version.

Shockeray Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I can't wait to see how many people show up for the first pre-alpha test and how long before the first ship is build (granting they don't have several sitting around).

I can't wait ... stable or not ... it'll be interesting to pus h the tech to its limits and break it so we get a stable release version. I will agree that there are many features currently not included in the upcoming pre-alpha, but that is not relevant to the performance of the game at this stage in development. As NQ has stated here https://board.dualthegame.com/index.php?/topic/11688-pre-alpha-faq-and-rules/ Quote Please keep in mind that the following configuration is based on the fact that a Pre-Alpha or Alpha version of a game is not fully optimized. A pre-alpha game is not designed with performance in mind, but for testing currently implemented features. Due to this fact, the pre-alpha is bound to be slower that the final release, not to mention riddled with bugs that will be worked out along the course of the pre-alpha, alpha, and beta testing before the game is released. They also state that the specs that they currently recommend as a minimum are for pre-alpha only and that they will change in the future. The general assumption is that as the game is optimized and features are implemented and refined that it will require less resources. In summary, the final release will theoretically run better than the pre-alpha and probably even the beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenotx Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Thank you for saying you are "hyped", instead of that you are "hype". That particular lingo trend grates on my nerves. "I am so excitement!" RaTzo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, sad. Although I wasn't expecting the servers to last that long on fist alpha release anyway when 2.5k users try to join at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Jack Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I am the walrus. No really, what's this about a half day thing? I knew the servers would be up and down throughout the pre-alpha phase.. but with all the time zones and such, is there a schedule somewhere so we have some idea when we should be poking around the game, and when we should be working, sleeping, eating, and waiting for another window?

This shows the time, at least for the first day. ATMLVE and Captain Jack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckinator Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 everyone is hyped , who's not that's the true question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heresiarch Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I am not hyped. I am though, extremely curious. ;-) I have no other time commitments on the 30. , so I will definitely try it out, and provide feedback as best I can. I just don't want to be disappointed if it crashes immediately, is unplayably slow, or similar. I expect more of a tech demo than a playable game for this first opening of the servers. But I'll definitely poke around and see what there is to see. My computer should be easily powerful enough for this, anyway. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizardoftrash Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I'm honestly too hyped. I'll be excited to have some of this hype out of my system, but I'm concerned that even if I'm running hard for the whole test session, that it might make me hungrier for more. Odds are high that I'll have to run Starmade or Space Engineers to wind myself back-down after the test window is closed. In the mean time, gotta start sketching some ideas for repeating construct patterns! already got some neat ideas for how to make great use of the surface-connect feature!
