Idea for Duke, a domestic robot that's also fun for a toddler. The Vacuumobile. Just like a mini riding lawn-mower crossed with a vacume, like a large roomba that a toddler can sit in and steer.
Losboccacc, I looked at Space Opera both on my pc and on my phone. Ive noticed it has very different behavior on my phone (forms many long lines, rather than a blob, makes for different stabilizing and outcomes. Different web-browser maybe, seems more dynamic on my phone for some reason. just noted that, is all.
Dark, I's painting some planets today, agrarian worlds, forge worlds, etc. I'm studying how GW paints thier planets so I can emulate their style. If you need any art, let me know. The CM files that I've seen are all in a .win wad/bin file, so I wasn't able to look into them. Its always difficult to work on another coders code, but the lore in CM, boy that's where the love is in that game.
I've got an "assets" folder now, where I'll store anything I can make on that dropbox link in "second founding", anything in there is free to use for anyone... excpet the font files all have special rules regarding their use (cause I didnt' make them).
a planet, the first one out of a 100?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/la2wr1jnhonw2bx/Planet010png.png?dl=0 I use a simple tecnique for planets. Since this is supposed to be an Agricultural world, I started with a nice arial photo of farmlands, since I've read that the farms cover whole continents on these planets. Then I'll use the "spherize" photoshop filter to turn the image into a ball. I'll pick out any streets or development I can in the image, and turn this into "city lights" on the nightside by selecting that area and giving it a "bright light" fill. Then a night/day gradiant op top, with 20-40% opacity. So it only takes maybe 5 mins to make a planet that way. Figure I could churn out a bunch in a day, several images for each type of planet. The image I posted is 1024x1024, becasue I figure It'll be scaled down to 256x256 and I like ot work in a much higher reselution than the end product. But, I'll make planets or any art to whatever specifications anyone might need.
for planet types, I've been going to the 40K wiki and the lexicanum for lists, like Deathworld, Hiveworld, etc.
