For clarity: a planet = a zone.

mklinic said: Dattelis said: Are the testing phases under NDA? It's under partial NDA. So, they can say they are testing the game, share screenshots, and give their impressions. They can't share streams or recordings of the game…

Not on this planet. It's a test map, it doesn't have every sort of biome on it.

These same features unlock things like: * Building crafting supply chains through types of stone and metal that can only be obtained by chemical transformation processes. * Subgames like farming and creature-related stuff having depth arou…

Slapshot1188 said: Al that stuff is great. And I actually have a very high degree of confidence that you will deliver. But what is going to make or break the project is whether or not there is an actual game as opposed to a nature/physics s…

Wargfoot said: Raph, Like what I see so far, but for me one of the important things in a sandbox is mining and underground base building. Will Star Reach have depth in the planets, or caves/dungeons that can be found and explored? -Miner …

olepi said: Ryzom took this a few steps further. There are 4 seasons, and the foliage changes for each. Snow in the winter, flowers in spring, fall colors in fall, etc. Plus a day/night cycle. Plus weather. Herds of mobs migrate accordi…

OldKingLog said: Eldrach said: I like the idea of grass freezing over, wish more games addes foliage states as well. Wet grass, snow gradually building on ground, trees, roofs, roads etc. Roads becoming muddy, not just texture wise -…

Slapshot1188 said: Nice improvement but I wonder why they went and announced with the first version if this took just a few weeks to upgrade? We needed to start testing the game. Which meant we needed to announce in order to get intere…

Angrakhan said: Yeah, sorry, I don't mean pass on the game, just pass on my interest in helping them test at this point in time. I'm still very much interested in where the game is going. I just have more pressing things to do than help them…

Amaranthar said: One more question. When is it going live? This weekend. For only two hours. IF you have access.

My question is, if the player is allowed to choose 5 skills (on 5 tools) to load onto their tool belt, will players also get items that grant abilities on top of that? No, this is a misunderstanding. You can have 5 tools on your toolbelt a…

Angrakhan said: I just wanted to point out I read the entire linked article on starsreach.com and never once do they actually answer the question of who the game is made for. They ask the question and then never answer it. Interesting. Is th…

Once this pass on visuals is done, we'll post about it, never fear. And we don't expect that to be the last pass on them, either.

Kyleran said: I'm more interested to know what you are doing different from "the usual things" related to engaging combat. The action-arcadey vibe definitely feels different.

And more... What has he done to prove he understands the mistakes of the past? If anything he is continuing right where he left off, with a bunch of failing ideas. Given that I have been more open and documented more of this stuff tha…

Forgive me for doing a big ol' groups response but there's so much here...! It seems to me that you'd be giving power to the 1-3%, which they'd use for control over the best resources in the game. If they can't have it, they'll make it worthless…
