Cheers again Pinback! Hmm, the audio is quiet because my new fangled 'VOIP' headphone rig is barely registering on the microphone volume meter... so it's more likely I have computer setup problems  I'll try and sort something for the next video...

<r>For sure sscadmin - bugs are truly the bane of a developers life. No one wants them. No one should code them. But, they happen nonetheless <E>:)</E> Interesting point on Steam Early Access - it's obvious when you think about it, but it's great you pointed it out. Probably as a developer I'd be ...

<r>It's a challenge, for sure DarkOne <E>;)</E> That lighting is only one part of the solution as well. Illuminating the inside of the engine housings will be via lightmapping, which is next on the list. I don't want to soak up valuable light sources in the shader for the glow of an engine, or the ...

Cheers Pinback, and thanks Geraldine as ever  I've raised this topic as per your hint Pinback, fingers crossed it sits well with everyone on SSC : http://spacesimcentral.com/ssc/topic/5196-announcing-insurmountable-odds-book-one-of-when-stars-fall/[/url]

<r>Hi everyone! I'm afraid I only frequent these hallowed halls every now and then, and my eternal thanks to Pinback for keeping the Dominium thread alive with updates from my main blog <E>;)</E> I just wanted to announce that I've published the first book in a sci-fi trilogy intended to raise ...

<r>Hi Pinback! I've just epublished the first book set in my game universe, where would be best to announce it? I was thinking the Sci-fi movies/tv forum, but wasn't 100% sure. Any help appreciated, as ever! (I tried PM'ing you and DarkOne, but it kept saying messages couldn't be sent for some ...

<t>I am 50/50 on cockpit views, but only because of logistics. I'd love to have them, especially as I want the player to wander around their ship in person. But the main challenge with them is actually getting unique cockpits for all the possible ships in Dom (and there are already a lot ...

.. Pictures say a thousand words Maksw. Patience Pinback-san, patience... An article on the Nebula Experiments (the first of hopefully many) is under way...

<r>Nice on Maksw <EMOJI seq="1f192" tseq="1f192">:cool:</EMOJI>Just as a thought if you doing turntables it might be worthwhile showing any other feature of the ship as in Landing gear or parts which can be added on. I'd love to - time is the only limiting factor tbh. But, I'm tinkering with this ...

<r>Looks great maksw and the skin it has almost looks anime feel to it. But that cruiser looks great and are most of the ships going to have this style? Cheers - though no credit assumed by moi <E>;)</E> 'Style' is going to be down to the race which builds the ships, each being different - at least ...

<r>ATM, this is the best I can do - though I like the idea of technical/blueprints. I'm tinkering with something similar for the in-game ship status/review systems... but it's a nice idea to use for PR images as well. The 'turntable' request also has dragged something I planned during the last ...

Nice lets see a turn table vid Maksw.  Still uploading though - so check back in an hour or so. Got a problem with the shadow rendering on this one... * * Notes down in bug list...

<r>New player ship model. http://dominium.maksw.com/2013/12/27/tiny-update/[/url] Malsw how about showing the new player ship in technical drawing format ie top, side, front, back ect as you can't see much in the screen shots. My shame Pinback! I didn't spot this request - I'll see what I can do <E ...

<r>Hi Pinback - I've got Sol's email address, having had him make quite a few superb models for me in the past - but I've not heard anything for a while, even his own website is dormant. I'll try PM'ing him through SSC though. As for Dom's 'drive technology' - any and all <E>:)</E> largely dependent ...

<r>Hey Pinback/DarkOne et al... Yeh I'm still skulking in the sidelines <E>;)</E> if I could I'd hire Pinback as my PR Officer! He's been doing a grand job of shunting my blog updates up here! I'm still aiming to get something to show off the SCC space station Sol did - do you know if anyone else ...

<r>Cheers codemachineman (and cheers Pinback - as ever <E>;)</E> ) I can't wait to bring all these elements together and put some polish onto them. The prospect of repelling boarders is just too much... The engine is my own - C/C++ and OpenGL, and cross platform. Compared to using off-the-shelf ...

<r>@MV2000 - [url]http://3drt.com/store/environments/norad-space-stations.html[/url] 3DRT's stuff is ace - game-ready, all I did was export them and bang. Sorted. I'm rather taken with these [url]http://3drt.com/store/environments/sci-fi-environments/sci-fi-techlabs-orion-construction-kit.html[/url ...

Cheers Pinback - that's good feedback indeed - I'll gladly take that I hope you like where it's going...

Cheers D1

<t>Cheers again for updating Pinback! And, finally - here's a freebie... the promised Chapter 1 from the book, ready to read... all feedback welcome! [url]http://spacesimcentral.com/ssc/files/file/1044-citizen-chapter-1/[/url] Ignore the title - it's what it was called long before Star Citizen ...
