robert131997 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 could we have the Alioth 3D planetary map available on the dual universe website live updated to show claimed territory organization held territory and held by which org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuritho Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Scope-creep. It wastes resources that could be used on more important things, like adding cat people into the game. FireSoul, Bacabab_ and ShioriStein 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShioriStein Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 It very awesome if we can implement Kuritho idea. Adding map only waste of resource like he say =]] Kuritho and FireSoul 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wastes resources that could be used on more important things, Can you clarify what you mean by scope creep I have never head that before I don't know what it means And as for wasting resources I don't think they would be wasting much because the have already created the map they would just need to get it running on the website granted I don't know how the made that map and what coding language it runs on or even if it can be defined in that way so it could be much more difficult to bring to the website However I believe it would be a useful tool for the community and potential interested persons it would show that dual universe is becoming a living breathing universe constantly changing it would showcase emergent gameplay in a more visual way than the text based form currently present in the shape of community organisation pages I also believe it would prove a useful tool for organisations to keep up to date with the dynamic emerging politics of Alioth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethys Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 DIY. Such things are a powerful tool and will be made by players anyway FireSoul and robert131997 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penta Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I would like to see a map of the current global situation with live updates on a web site and/ or App for mobile devises . - like a news station reporting on current wars if x amount of fire power is spent in x amount of time with x amount of players in a area of x size. - and give faction owned space station a area of influence based on the people in faction and the strength of the shielding of the stations to determine the power and controle they have of a specific area. to color the map of the universe. as for the resource drain on the system, with my minimal understanding of programming and knowledge of the language involved in the game and how to make this work... i would say that they would have to use data bases to get information out of the game that would already be in place, and the rest of the software would not interfere with the game itself. so the extra strain on the system would be minimal if thee would be a extra server for this purpose. Right? @Lethys, Would the community have acces to the information needed to create a map like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lethys Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 @Penta8 @robert131997 Can't talk about that Here because of NDA. Can only show you what I'm working on in a very early state. Again, that map is already way more advanced but due to NDA we can't share it. There are others too who work on such things, BOO isn't the only entity who seeks such an advantage https://youtu.be/Pkups_b4gD0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuritho Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 5 hours ago, robert131997 said: emergent gameplay Emergent gameplay isn't that. Emergent gameplay is when you have multi-layer situations deriving from multiple game mechanics, or more simply put "complex stuff from simple stuff." Having a map and using it isn't emergent. It's called using a map. 5 hours ago, robert131997 said: Can you clarify what you mean by scope creep Scope creep is when a project gets out of hand by following a different direction or adding unnecessary (or features that can literally be coded in by a player) features. 5 hours ago, robert131997 said: And as for wasting resources I don't think they would be wasting much because the have already created the map they would just need to get it running on the website granted Adding catpeople doesn't waste much resources, but should they? Totally. But should they make a globe-map that updates, wasting resources? No. Verdict: Cat People will show the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
