Starfighter General News

[p]

[/p][p]Hello,[/p][p][/p][p]Options:[/p][p]#1 I can release a patch right now that has my dilligent work for the last few months of dropping loot from asteroids allows you to buy/sell and get a larger fleet... to destroy more asteroids... It's kinda anticlimactic with how incredibly complex the systems are underneath: Multi Core + MMO + Expandible[/p][p][/p][p]#2 I can not release a patch right now, and install some AI that will be able to work like a Live Game Master.

I need to test the capabilities, but I believe AI can run:[/p][p][/p][p]The Memento system of simulated personalities.[/p][p][/p][p]Give you custom missions I didn't program.

Arbitrage between systems with an actual vibrant economy(buy high/sell low) [/p][p]
Busy World of AI guys living their own lives, maybe building a financial empire that makes an army[/p][p][/p][p]Anomolies I didn't make.[/p][p]
The AI Game Master can drive live events and personally guide your own character arcs.[/p][p][/p][p]It's completely absurd the possibilities of having an AI Game Master.[/p][p][/p][p]Starfighter General has been under development for 9.5 years... It'd be nice at the 10 year moment to finally launch a MMO more technologically advanced than most people even imagine. [/p][p]
More stuff possible, but no promises:[/p][p][/p][p]Voice recognition to play by voice alone.[/p][p][/p][p]Voice of NPCs custom to each NPC based on intelligence, lexicon, culture.[/p][p][/p][p]So... Let me know in comments if you would want a vapid asteroid shooter where you build a huge fleet patch... I can drop that in 3 or 5 days... Or just wait for the big AI where the entire system comes alive in several months?

[p]Item drops, [/p][p]selling items, [/p][p]buying ships upgrades, [/p][p]meeting new fleet members, [/p][p]new encounters... [/p][p]should be in...[/p][p]Skills slowly in...

This is radically a huge patch after 10 years of developing this game... The 2021 Starfighter Explosion on Steam was from backdoored code from me, but you haven't even begun to see what a top game developer can do...[/p][p][/p][p]From April 4th,2025: I may add the entire MEMENTO system:[/p][p]Yes, it's in... Mostly in terms of raw data, rolled events will be slotted in over years like a frameworked puzzle gets filled in.[/p][p]
Wild stuff coming soon.. I hope to do this before the Pittsburgh Arcade Convention on the 3rd - 5th of October 2025... Don't miss PGX anyone in the area!!!


From April 4th:[/p]

[p] Where each NPC acts like a player by rolling actions based on their personality/skills/attributes/emotional stability(temporary)/history with you/race/goals/and career The Memento system should have aliens act more human than PCs.

>I want to make asteroid colors be the color of element they drop, so you can hunt for elements you like based on the color of the asteroid.
This will be in the patch... You'll get both periodic elements (hydrogen/helium/etc) AND Magic Elements (for future Modularia magic)[/p][p]
>If your cargo bay heats up too much, stuff may burn, melt or turn gaseous, which can lead to weird effects in your ship and alter your cargo... Yes, may be getting too ambitious, but it's working and it is what it is.

The items data allow for this, but hasn't been coded in for these events[/p]

I'm explaining why it's been a while since last patch:

I keep scope creeping.

It's the right play.

Skills, Item drops, selling items, buying ships upgrades, meeting new fleet members, new encounters... That's the basics you should expect.

I may add the entire MEMENTO system... Where each NPC acts like a player by rolling actions based on their personality/skills/attributes/emotional stability(temporary)/history with you/race/goals/and career

The Memento system should have aliens act more human than PCs.

I want to make asteroid colors be the color of element they drop, so you can hunt for elements you like based on the color of the asteroid.

If your cargo bay heats up too much, stuff may burn, melt or turn gaseous, which can lead to weird effects in your ship and alter your cargo... Yes, may be getting too ambitious, but it's working and it is what it is.
