dvoid, it looks superb, I am really impressed with everything you've done with it. Is it your own engine or is it an engine built within another framework like Unity/UE4? Either way, brilliant job you've done. Thanks =) Its using my own engine called ZeroFPS

Was able to load up your latest version yesterday and I think my machine handled ok at about 35fps and the flight is looking good for such an early state. I thought it felt a little difficult for ship to group combat in that it was hard to control the ship and target at the same time (or its just my age showing). The map showing points of interests and quest flags is a nice touch. "ship to group combat"? i guess you mean ship to ground combat? well , yea maybe i havent thought much about it, you can hold RMB and look around without stearing the ship but its a bit difficult. not really sure where i want to go with the ship->ground combat, would be nice for people to land and engage in close combat =)

I will check this out soon, for the ship to ground combat I think what makes it difficult is that the ship cannot take too many hits from ground fire. Which it probably should be able too unless they are using bigger weapons. I wanted to land and engage in combat but since you have to land that ship slowly or mess it up you take a ton of hits and they were shooting me from far away so maybe their accuracy needs to diminish depending on distance.

I have been thinking about adding like a Shield system for the flyers. that can withstand more damage from guns. also it needs more balancing

Wow. That is a huge improvement over the planet surface of the demo that a played a while back, is this the same planet or a different one?

Hello dvoid, I've just tried your latest build 0.125, and I raise my 2 thumbs for this wonderful work, thanks so much to make this available for free :cool:I wish you well for any of your future ideas, I'm amazed by the fast pace you put in this project and glad you have found some good artists to help you.I'm curious: Would your engine also support any actions in space? Maybe the Tolrokians are not all entirely 'medieval' afterall... Some day the player could discover some spaceport or space elevator into orbit, associated with ship and station activities, together with other quests to be performed there, also some ship vs. ship combat? It would then be a game like No Man's Sky could be (but which isn't because not existing and only advertised as such). Are there any command line options for the game, I would like to display a FPS counter because I must make a special Nvidia GeForce setup. The Motion Blur will unsharpen the image while moving (panning) and there's some delay before sharpening when facing one direction. Congrats,XenonS

Original idea was to take the fps action from skyrim etc and combine that with a procedurally generated world and trading from Elite like games. Current iteration also has a lot of mount and blade like systems i think.There is a lot of ship VS ship combat in the game :D Pressing F2 should toggle some stats and things :D
