[DEVPOST] *new* Incarna prototype and more

[Jack bubu]

Funny how the lack of russians here totally made us miss this video


Shows some interesting stuff about wormholes and more importantly a now 2-3 month old prototype of what torfi and his 4 man dev team have been doing for the next incarna thing.

While we await the dev blog, I can point to this unofficial shaky cam video of me showing off Team Avatar's prototype of exploration in abandoned structures as it was 2 months ago while I was at a player event in Moscow.

It has changed somewhat, it has a fancy avatar now, more gameplay and a UI that resembles EVE more. Also, showing it off single player doesn't really tell you much because it's a very co-op experience.

edit:
Yes and it has turrets now, guns, hi-medium and low slot modules.

the thread is full of dev replies on the Incarna topic and appearently they will publich a devblog with more updated prototype materials soon.

Imo it looks like they are going the right way now, especially because it will incorporate pvp

Resident EVE-il.

Looks interesting, glad theyre going to add shooting to incarna, never understood why they only wanted to make it a social system.

Plus yay jovians.

[Glyken Touchon]

space hulk.

doubt the shooting will come to (highsec) stations- it looks more like stuff for exploration sites.

[Matharos]

Looks like it could be a bit like Alien Swarm

[RoemySchneider]

torfi and eggnog?
yeah... this will end well...

[Alistair]

Plus yay jovians.

Did I miss something? What timestamp was there Jovian stuff?

[Ophichius]

Hah. Prototyped in Unity.

This is basically a fancy animated whiteboard drawing of "Hey guys wouldn't it be cool if..."

Let me know when they have it working in the Incarna engine itself.

-O

So, will my gunnery skills affect assault rifles?

i'm more interested in my missile skills.

at least they're actually making sure there's something to do before spending 5-6 years and 75% of the company's resources building something completely useless this time.

Its near the end, two or three minutes before its done. Right before they start talking about inferno. Its a short bit with a jovian male and female char doing half a spin.

yeah that was my impression as well, my guess is they will figure out a prototype, present it to the playerbase and look for the feedback before wasting time on a engine that is probably alot more time consuming to work on.

The idea being that only capsuleers can enter due to radiation kinda limits the scope of the feature. Cause anywhere else, e.g. boarding ships or fighting in stations or what ever, would not really make sense to relegate to the demigods of the endless empty space and stars.

However the DUST-side code is no doubt very generalized, and much based on EVE code, so it really shouldn't be that much of an effort to get the shooty damagy part working in trinity.

i'd guess they use the hit detection and stuff from the unreal 3 engine for DUST, not sure if you can just copy paste that into a different engine

[Mike deVoid]

Yes

What doesn't make sense it that you'd send in a dude who is only immortal when inside hid pod. Whereas the Dust soldiers are the who are immortal in their own skin...

Do you happen to work at a place where 'backups' are something that is done just once a month and kept in a storeroom on-location?

We already know that slow copying of the brains is possible in a non-destructive manner, and that instantaneous death copying is what requires killing the brain. Sure the capsuleerwon't remember shit of what happened inside the 'thing' if he dies, but he die.

[Tyrus Tenebros]

The "only immortal in the pod" lore seems to have gone by the wayside a while ago. Istr in one chronicle they discussed security guards simply shooting unwanted capsuleers rather than arresting them because it was simpler

[cheeba]

what game is this for
?
