Very interesting.. It reminds me alot of the early videos of spore. Hopefully it doesn't lose it's charm along the way to release.

What! A trailer?! Why hadn't I seen this?? I've been fawning over that game for over a year now. Swedish PC Gamer had a huge article and interview about it that I read several times back at school. It's such a crazy project, but he's pulling it off with such grace.

Don't worry about it losing its charm, it's stayed perfectly intact since the first time I saw it. And with a single guy developing it, there's no risk of freedom being sacrificed for "gameplay" like what happened with Spore.

nice, thanks for the share

Ged

saw this a while ago has there been further development?

TheSplash

Although it's impressive that he's making his own game and game engine...

I find it even more impressive that he made his own tools including modeling and automatic UV Unwrap tools, that's crazy!
Check out this video showing them. http://www.quelsolaar.com/love/tool_video.html
They are open source too http://www.quelsolaar.com/files/index.html

I love how personal and quirky they are, how he has asteroids in his editor and particle effects in his modeling packing when doing stuff. Tasty.
He also has some interesting thoughts on game development pipelines. http://news.quelsolaar.com/#post41

ged- the linked video shows loads of new gameplay stuff.

its gotta be one of the most atmospheric games ive seen in a long time

love the look and feel of the world.. I'm tempted to sign up to explore, no matter what the gameplay

doc rob

The tech is incredible. Just amazing. He has focused down on what is important to make a really exciting game and delivered big time.

The gameplay. . . I'm not so sure. There is definitely something fun out there for tech like this that allows' on-the-fly modification. Voxelstein 3D comes to mind. I'm not sure what the fun thing is, but I hope these guys find it.

Cojax

Amazing work by just one person. Mad props!

Just looks ugly and boring to me =(

rooster

just watched the vid: thats not new :P posted on polycount ages agooo
boo

yeah gameplay from that vid looks boring to me (the fighting).. but that was 5 months ago

when I first saw it I was imagining more about exploration and survival in wilderness than straight forward pvp combat. pcg showed pics of the procedurally generated monsters, they looked cool and bigfootish


edit2: it looks ugly??? you crazy

Emil Mujanovic

I agree with Cojax, its not very appealing to me either. All I can see is silhouettes of geometry, a lot of particle fog and over exposed bloom. I had no idea what was going on or what I was looking at half the time.
Ugly isn't the term I would use personally to describe the game, but then again, neither is the word pretty. Its so far from my cup of tea that its almost coffee.

I'll have to have a look at the tech videos though, they might peak my interest a lot more than the actual game itself.

Xenobond

It's pretty interesting stuff going on there, I just don't know what I'm supposed to expect out of it. :S

00Zero

those programs he made are so trippy. i could never imagine myself using it though, its too.....hmm. dunno, its very loose and not technical.

Joshua Stubbles

Reminds me of magic carpet in a way (good god they need to remake that!). Looks nifty.

Ferg

best video I've seen yet of it, 20 minute detailed gameplay demo

edit - ah sorry shep your link wasnt working for me

Peris

thats really awesome, instead of struggling with all these bloated software packages he just made his own simple tools. You couldn't make gears of war with it ofcourse but for what he's making it looks perfect!

SHEPEIRO

sorry its old, i hadnt seen it ;-P

ferg thats the same video i linked, not the YOUTUBE one the link


vassgo- yeah 2nd that

PixelGoat

Love it
