Chris Roberts on Character Tech, Weather System, & Engine Architecture

[AstroSam]

For those of you, who are happy about every tiny little information. ;)

"(...)
This is the second and final half of our interview with Chris Roberts, CIG CEO & Chairman, but not the final interview for our trip. Technical Director Sean Tracy joined GamersNexus to discuss deeper engineering solutions to technological challenges faced by the team, offering some insight to game development that we think our 'regulars' will enjoy from an engineering standpoint. The first half of that content will post on Friday, September 30. The second half will be announced alongside the publication of the first half.


Both interviews – with Roberts and with Tracy – ran about forty minutes in length, and contained a trove of new information related to the title's immediate future. With Tracy, we'll discuss engine architecture, what it actually means to “refactor for 64-bit,” authoring tools, and more.(...)"

Have fun!

This game is a scam!

Yeah, it's ,just EVE Online - The Sequel.
The planets aren't ever Pink & Purple. How can you have a Space Sim without Pink & Purple stuff everywhere?
I heard that Chris Roberts was going to ask for his money back. (People love Rumors so thought I'd start one.)

Good interview. Is it CitCon yet?

The weather system is a welcome addition and the natural way they are doing it. Games typically ignore weather completely and its usually light, dark, evening, whatever. Left 4 Dead had a nice level where you had to fight in blinding rain. One of my favorite games that changes the atmosphere is C&C Renegade and in Mission 4 a volcano erupts turning the sky gray and has ash falling.

Kudos to Chris and the team for going beyond the norm again. There seems to be a pattern to this....

If anyone wanys a good summary of the interview highlights, and the top points from Batgirl's last Bensday interview then BoredGamer's 12 minute summary is worth watching.

Plenty of interesting stuff.
