URR looks very nice so far, I can't wait for civilizations so I can recruit people.

Man, I hope somebody records your lecture at the IRDC, because I am tied with work down here in Spain.

First time a convention of personal interest appears in Poland and I had already emigrated.

Unlucky :(. I intend to record at least mine, but I'm sure someone with a better camera will likely record them all.

Yeah, me too. Even the title strikes curiosity: "Procedural Art"

It will basically be about how I created/create the graphics for the landscapes on the screen, the planets, the block designs, and how I intend to (later) create generated graphics for weapons, armour, etc...

URR looks very nice so far, I can't wait for civilizations so I can recruit people.

Thanks :). Ziggurats (early gameplay) and history generation are the two focuses for 0.3, but it won't be too many more releases until I start thinking about cities.

Meanwhile, general update: I have all but finished implementing scaling puzzle difficulty, remaining puzzle clues, remaining block graphics, and "boss"-level unique puzzle rooms (currently drawing from a database of 50+). I don't have the time to code these next few weeks, though blog entries will remain on the fortnightly schedule for now. When I next resume URR work, I'll be finishing off history gen...

Hey there. Found this, thought I might post the link. It's a collection of essays which address different metallurgical processes in different time periods, and how different metals were used for different weapons in different cultures. Along with other historical concepts. It's worth checking out for sure.

URR, if you don't post every 24h, I'll rape, eat and kill (in that order) one kitten every hour!

@Glloyd, very interesting and well written, thank.

I must ask, though, am I just unlucky or does the game have any functioning civilizations yet?

That would explain it.
Are there any other units?

Dropping in for the first time, the project sounds very interesting. Is there a list of features already in the game ? In short, what can be done in the current version, how far along in development is the game ? (some description of the current state of the game would probably compliment the OP well)

Let's not rule it out...

Very interesting stuff! I'm still considering how exactly I want weapons and armour to both a) function and b) be generated, and that's all far from certain at the moment. I've gone through around a dozen ideas/iterations in my head, though I've not settled on one yet. Either way, all this materials stuff is mighty useful.

Haha, don't worry, it is 100% not dead. I've had to take breaks of a month or two in the past to heavily focus on my academic work; this isn't the first time, and alas it won't be the last, but the game is 100% still in development, and will be for the foreseeable future!

Such emotional blackmail!

Nope; not yet. Civilizations WILL exist for the next version in the history and the encyclopedia, but cities and things are still a way off. Which is to say, to clarify - you will be able to read about civilizations, but their actual structures will not exist. For the most part.

Not in 0.2 but in 0.1 were some, if i remember correctly

There were indeed, but that was back when URR was high fantasy, so they're all ancient history...

Dropping in for the first time, the project sounds very interesting. Is there a list of features already in the game ?

Thank you! You can generate solar systems, explore the map, check the graphics/options, climb, run, and use the 'L'ook function to have a look at pretty much everything around you. As for how "far" along the game is... that's a tough question to answer. But real gameplay is going to begin with the next version, which I'm working on at the moment. Good idea re: the OP, I'll change it soon.
