Tested a little and it feels like a game i'd want to play when it gets a bit more developed.
Though the map confused me as some features disappeared when taking one step

I'm not dead or anything, just laying low till the end of summer most likely.  I got several volunteers that have been very helpful and we've added a ton of stuff (especially in space) since the last post, but I don't want to talk it up too much when there's a lot of work to do.  So around august I'll be posting a bit more with some new screenshots and things

Played it just a tiny bit at this point. Up to now it seems like a MOO Shores of Hazeron but on a more individual-centric level. Some of the stuff might be a bit grindy/button smashy at times, but I'm still enjoying simply exploring some random biomes and figuring out how to build stuff up from nothing.

The first universe of Wayfar1444 just exploded into a(n unintentional) cosmic boom. I was fortunate enough to escape the moon, where I was killing some space pirates, and make it to the bar at the end of the universe, just before tha Big Bang, and server shutdown.



A new universe should be created soon, and this would be an excellent time for some more players to come to the game. It's still in alpha, but really quite enjoyable, and getting updated regularily.

EDIT: it was just a reroll, no universe death after all

I definitely will check this out (probably in a couple days, have a flight tomorrow), love space MOOs! I really want to get back into Miriani (another space MOO), as well. This one looks paticularly interesting though, really liking those planet images up there.

We're full speed ahead until the end of summer, here a few screens in the meantime:

Totally not a rip off from the future gothic series that starts with "War"...

The alternative to hacking in terms of controlling buildings and objectives, I also made this available for use on google code for other hellcore MOOs.  Claimable stuff is where we're planning to implement the more powerful field pieces like artillery and anti-air - please forgive this horrible airspace scanner as it is weak sauce:

And finally, in the rough draft stages, this is kind of a programmer thing I'm proud of - it spawns rooms as needed which reduces memory usage by quite a bit.  Handy for big planets and instancing.  It also has the side effect of a sort of "fog of war" and gives the wilderness outside of settlements an unpredictable nature:

It's almost a different game since when I started playing this a month ago. New stuff is being added every day and some big things like other solar systems are upcoming, people should check it out. It's a great time to help shape the game while it's still in alpha. And abuse funny bugs of course

Just started it tonight and died to a clever beast. seems like dying just respawns you in a random location?

[BloodBeard]

No, you respawn at your set respawn point which you can customize with @sethome

[CT]

Well yeah but I got eaten before I had a chance to set up my response point. Also seems like this could lead to spawn camping.

Double post let's do this! Ight well it seems to take forever to fabricate basic gear and structures. Also do resource nodes ever expire or deplete?

[RulerOfNothing]

This seems like an interesting game. I have just one question at the moment though: what determines quality level of raw materials?

This seems like an interesting game. I have just one question at the moment though: what determines quality level of raw materials?

As far as I can tell its a combo of dice rolls, the quality of the harvester, and your characters skill.

This is probably a dumb question, but how do you turn animal corpses into meat?
