Re: The Conon

The ability to customize Oolite,
in the narrative sense,
make my attraction beyond the retro
feverish.

Re: The Conon

Truth is.
The core mechanics of Elite can loaded onto 32K of ram.
(that's why it is fucking brilliant)
The bells and whistles however require :
Proper physics,
PBR shader.
etc

People who play this game would only have to subscribe to a free personal, of Unity.
I see no down side.

Re: The Conon

I would be quite enthusiatic about porting to c#.
I believe that for a company like Unity Technologies.
Oolite would be a prestige project.

Story tellers.

1984 (alternative history)

In 1984
some british doods made some dogey code.
on some dodgey hardware.
Anyway...
By mistake a quantum computer was instantiated in the future (of 1984)
This created the game known as Elite.
This is why the retro vortex still exists.

Would the Cannon prevent a development migration into Unity?

The Conon

How important is the canon of Elite.
When I was i child of the 80s, it showed me a universe
not a billion miles wide and one foot deep.
It was more then,
and it is as much now.

Re: Modern ship yard.

If I may jump straight to some questions. 1) What is the max poly count ? 2) How many materials. ? 3) What is a standard texture set ? (albedo, metallic roughness, normal, height) (diffuse, specular, normal), etc. Are there any "off the shelf" shader workflows that could be preseted in Sub...

Re: Modern ship yard.

Are there any shader gurus in the Universe ?
Seems like a great platform to showcase Sci-Fi art.

Modern ship yard.

I want to do some space ships with ZBrush and Substance painter.
Can, or will Oolite support PBR shaders.
