Starfighter General News

We're about to the point where you get the story missions which I'm being told by others is better than the best Scifi movies and tv shows at peak. This isn't just a meme storyline, it's on par with subversive funny comedy you're used to by all the big players. Except next level... BUZZ WORDS!

Long story short, I want to tell a long story and I have a short time to get it to you.

Techs needed to be in for launch:

1) Leveling needs in
2)Items in
3)Starposts(Towns)/hostile zone in
4)Space stations(stores) in
5)Memento system(NPCS come with 120+personality sliders/emotions/hopes & dreams/regular attributes/history of interaction with you) in
6) Missions in

Most of this stuff is in, time to crunch

I fixed GNN so it biases news with images, not without. This is a much more visually appealing patch.

Next patches will be the first Zone in the MMORPG and story, possibly intermingled with micro patches to get XBOX360 controllers full support.

Check out how to get World Records on Earth broke, get in the history books with the last announcement.

I'm devin 8-16 hrs a day, but you might not see it due to how much cyber security attacks I've been getting.

Enjoy the patches, we movin forward.

Hello,

TL:DR Skip boring tech, tell me what type of game mode you would want in a 10,000 real players, star fighter skirmish? Highlander style? Team? Protect the King? MOBA? FFA? Blow up PVE race? A super semi cut throat coop? Something entirely new? I mean it's a world record, get famous as a game designer for choosing the mode! What does the community want?

Long boring tech: trust me it works, I had a 3d fighter MMO style engine working back in 2005 with friends, but the router config was insane and I figured the public couldn't handle it to finish adding content to it, but modern day routers can handle this thanks to Steam's technology.

I've invented tons of world firsts so don't be surprised this time that I have a more interesting tech that decentralizes the server so instead of being limited to (O) n2 bandwith, my algorithm using P2P is not limited to n2 starting at n per player, but with optimizations we're (O) log (n) per player.

Old servers that had 10 players would need 10*10 players bandwith out or 100; 100 players? 100 * 100 or 10,000 1000 players? 1000 * 1000 or 1,000,000

See that's why every major conventional FPS they cap at about what around 200 players?

Now (O) log(n) in Starfighter General is log n per player. Log N is a fancy way of saying a curve that's less than N, aka like .5 for simplifying * players. (This is ghetto math since most don't get it 10 players? Each player transmits 10 * .5 or 5 players worth of data each..

It's a peer mesh with server for basic integrity checking/anti cheat/counter hacking. Plenty of games run peer to peer, even ones they say they ain't! They found they can ban hackers just by streaming all peer packets home and evaluating the game like replay. The pendulum secretly shifted to the power of peer to peer with basic security without most noticing and many games use it. I wouldn't openly acknowledge I use it if Stem didn't require you to check the peer to peer box, and rally people to beat a world record.

So 10,000 starfighters in the same area... How would you set up the combat to not just be an insane FFA mess of explosions? Cuz we settle on something fun, I'll put it in that week, and we can run that mode when we get enough players on the server at once... It should be easy to beat 10,000 players in one zone... And I know DOTS/ECS I'm running can handle 100,000 starfighters in one zone at 60 FPS.... But to do a million or ten million would be hard on video cards/optimization THOUGH the networking would not be the bottleneck.

So 10,000 starfighter in the same area...

What game mode would you like to break the World Record of most players in the same combat zone with? Leave in comments any combat arena you'd want me to build for you. Once population starts poppin, we'll keep a running counter to how close we are to beating the world record! You bring the players and we beat the world record easy!

I'm under constant cyber security hack. My DNS is routed randomly and my windows machines get a virus as soon as getting on the Internet. I must compile my game and have another computer upload it since I cannot expose my dev computer to the Internet anymore. I restored windows 200 times and reinstalled windows 100 times until I discovered that I can't use the Internet anymore due to relentless cyber attacks.

Unity though I love it more than other dev platforms, is coded incorrectly inside. It's bloatware that gets bad as you add music/sounds/models/graphics/etc... Data files actually slow Unity down to a crawl when no other IDE known to man does this.

I spent two weeks uploading 700,000 ai art for planets, aliens, items, anomalies, etc... Only to find out I have to back it all out and add piece by piece.

We're coding, we're devving, but every step of the way is a fight. You guys deserve fun. Say a prayer, the world needs more fun and joy.

Hear the voice of intelligence and reason:

Where Hollywood loses, Steam wins! WOOOO! Indie devs rejoice! Gamers rejoice! Movies and tv was an inferior form of entertainment that's dying off anyway! WOOOO! More people get to throw away their television and pick up a gaming controller on Steam! This is great for society for it means less brainwashing of the masses and more indie expression not controlled by censorship.


It's great to exit the times of censorship and entering into an age of enlightenment. :)

Competition baby, if someone will not provide a service, the competing good wins out!

And when the competing good wins out, people get upset who are losing!

Remember the people who sold buggy whips for horses got mad when cars got invented? They threw a fit. Remember when painters who'd be set for life by a king simply by painting one picture of the king in their life? They got upset when the camera was made and took away their jobs.
