StarLab -> RE: Next DW2 Preview (5/6/2021 3:51:13 PM)

Yes, I meant to mention this on my Tuesday DWU livestream but forgot. Will make sure to give it a mention tonight and Sunday also... [8D]



Sild -> RE: Next DW2 Preview (5/6/2021 5:54:36 PM)

Great!

So, is Matrix Games the new PDX?



OrnluWolfjarl -> RE: Next DW2 Preview (5/7/2021 2:30:28 AM)

What time is the event? The link you have posted only talks about the date, but not the time.

this pleases my rectum

I hope the starship troopers rts pans out well. There hasn't been a decent ground based rts put out in years other than supreme commander and its sequel forged alliance which is still going strong with a user made multiplayer lobby and a very strong modding scene. A few were kinda okish like grey goo and ashes of the singularity but they ultimately got stale and had little replay value.



OrnluWolfjarl -> RE: Next DW2 Preview (5/8/2021 4:11:50 AM)

Thanks, I look forward to all of the events. Thanks for posting the whole schedule!

Just wanted to say well done, Erik, Elliot and team. I saw the latter half of the preview and the scale looks impressive - an incredible amount of detail in the ship design process, which looks a lot less clunky than in DW 1. I'll wait until I can watch the 1st half before asking questions! Is it still go for a 2021 release?



sinbuster -> RE: Next DW2 Preview (5/12/2021 12:33:21 AM)

God do I want to play this. It's looking so, so good. I love the amount of info in the ship design UI. Also, not sure if it's just the angle of the camera but I love the systems being slightly off plane; there is far less clutter when viewing the map.

I'm with the presenter, you guys must be so proud of creating a game like this.

love the new work on the galaxy look, very reminiscent of the OG DW galaxy look, My suggestion would be to make it have a central galactic bulge and increase brightness towards the centre to more represent an iconographic archetype of a typical spiral galaxy.

If you want some references, have a look at the way galaxies are generated in the universe simulator SPACE ENGINE available on steam, I believe its free on the devs own website.

Universe sandbox also does good galactic generation.



Tsar99 -> RE: Next DW2 Preview (5/13/2021 12:53:43 PM)

Is there any higher resolution recordings of the stream available?
Watching this 720p stream on a 4K monitor makes it extremely blurry...



Hanekem -> RE: Next DW2 Preview (5/14/2021 7:26:58 PM)

I missed the twitch, is the video available on YouTube or elsewhere?
