And, here's a short video I made to show flight physics:

I'm still revisiting this project periodically. Retopology is a big bottleneck, so in terms of the models things are going pretty slow. On the code side of things, I'm progressing a little faster. I'm still optimistic that there'll be a beta this year. I now have a somewhat functional UI. http://i.i...

It seems to be totally procedurally generated, with the code for generating nebula strands in the FallenWorlds file.I suspect that George might generate a couple galaxies and then pick the best one when he runs the scenario. When the Beta II map was started, we actually got to see it happen on Geor...

Jungle/Forest world (Probably fine to just have one of the two) How to make it tactically interesting: We'll have a bonus to production that decreases as tech level increases . High technology means that industry isn't as dependent on good working conditions, and the environment starts to hinder pr...

Great idea! Maybe we can work on getting content from older versions brought over. Things like planet types would be super easy to do (and I can offer up graphics for them in that case) The following planets aren't in Beta II. Most of them are redundant, so maybe I'll just select a few to write up.:...

Any discussion of Anacreon during/after the stream? I wasn't able to attend. Yep - I mentioned your pull request. - No mention of mesophon prices but I think that can be handled when he gets around to pulling the changes - We might do a new map after the changes are pulled in - Larger map sizes mig...

The fact that the Wolfen currently can support heavier armor than the EI500 doesn't really make much sense to me. The Wolfen can't, though... Wolfen's max armor is 12 tons while the EI500's is 20. And I do think that the wolfen's engines are more powerful than the EI's. Running with the horsepower ...

Regen and decay are both really underpowered. Transuranic is trivial to keep at full HP, with a slotless item you find in the same place as the armor. Meanwhile, regenerative armors like Duralloy are pointless to use because they regenerate so slowly. Regenerative armors that draw power/use a device...

I'm the opposite of PM, I like having big, heavy gunships with 20 ton armor. If heavy armor HP is buffed then I would probably seek it out exclusively. Right now mass isn't that big of a deal for armors; Heavy ithalium is only 8 tons, and transuranic 12, both of which can be used on a light gunship ...

Name recycling is pretty common, haha. The warlord empire "Efreet" is also an alien race in Transcendence. I'm not sure how much is retained from them, but in earlier versions, aliens were a part of the game. Alien worlds meant your citizens would sometimes be killed at night by the locals, or more ...

Is the actual source code of Anacreon v3 available anywhere, not just the core files?

Unfortunately, no, its still closed-source.

I suspect this is probably for security reasons, like with the online interface for Transcendence.

The effects of an empire collapsing would probably extend further than just planets reverting to autonomy. The Fallen Worlds scenario is all about the aftermath of an empire collapse, after all, and I think extending the consequences of these events might make for some additional levels of gameplay....

Yep, you got it.

My copies finally arrived today. The book looks great - I like the dark background to the text, that's helpful for keeping your eyes adjusted at night. The pictures you selected are good too, it makes the book fun to look at, which will probably be helpful in keeping my young cousin engaged, who I a...

Haha, OK. To fork it you would navigate to the Era3 branch and then click "Fork" in the top right.

If you want I can put the pull request up this time.
