  1. Anyone doing NaNoWriMo tomorrow? I'm reviving The Children Between Worlds :) Yes, that one.

      I imagine so. :)

      As for myself, I'm getting a new laptop soon, and I'm gonna install a command-line variant of Linux on it. Distraction-free writing!

      I might give it a shot. Is it for the whole thing, or just a first draft?

  3. Dude, my mod isn't working, I already updated the Kopernicus versions, does it have something to do with the Make History expansion?

      Which mod are you referring to? If it's To Boldly Go, then that's no longer under my control.

      You can find it here now: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/174918-indev-143-to-boldly-go-an-external-application-designed-to-procedurally-generate-an-entire-galaxy-for-ksp/

      As for lightfixer, ktolemy, and Kerbanon, those have gone unmaintained for over a year now.

      The point of this mod is you can't see where you're going. You must rely on your instruments -- and survive.

  5. I'm taking a look at some of my early posts trying to jog my memory of one of them... sorry for being an idiot. :P:confused:

      Forgiven. :)

      I have some pretty silly posts from my newbie days as well.

      Time zones make me wonder why we ever believed in Santa. :P

  7. I'm working on a Sci-Fi short film. I've already completed the first five minutes of it.

    Here is the premise: A tiny starship with an entirely transhuman crew of digitized minds explores the central pulsar of the Crab Nebula, and discovers something fantastic.

    My goal is for it to be twenty minutes long, so it should be finished by the end of next week.

      Just be aware, this film is largely just me messing around with my new toy (The editing software, Hitfilm), so please don't be surprised that the story is weak and the scientific accuracy is low.

      Also, I'm using a text-to-speech generator to create the dialogue. Not too bad, I think since the characters are all digital.

      All in all, this is primarily going to be a light show of effects, with characters only in brief existence to react to or explain the situation to the viewer.

      And yes, I am deliberately putting down my own creation. But I think it's best that nobody be disappointed. However, I intend to use the knowledge I gain from this to pursue more things later -- I have an idea about doing a live-action short film where everybody's a clone (played by myself, as I'm not currently capable of getting anyone else. So, if I do this, expect some bad acting.), I would do it with a green screen, since I have no set-making abilities either (no money to buy things, no materials to build with).

  8. Today is my birthday and for my present, I declare that THE SPICE SHALL FLOW! :) (Sorry. No sand worms...)

     

  9. Something horrible is happening right now, I'm not sure if I'm able to explicitly talk about it, but it makes me angry and sad. This shouldn't be what America is like, and yet, it's been here likely since we gained independence. We're better than this. And it's horrible that people like that still be belive the things they believe.

    They're cowards, plain and simple.

  10. So, @Spaceception, would it be possible to give me some input and opinion on the latest chapters of the story? I felt that Twitter just lacked the capacity. :wink:

    1. daniel l.

      daniel l.

      Or anyone really. :D

      I appreciate input. It helps me to make my work better.

  11. I have a suggestion for whatever story you might write next. :)

    Already, ESports is a major industry. Suppose this becomes a sort of Olympics, in a way, meaning that players represent their homelands and there is political importance behind the actions of a player.

    Imagine, in one of these games, a player is accused of using cheats or hacks by a player representing the political opponent of the accused player.

    The story could be a mystery, with an investigation where every move has political consequences. And if the player is actually found to be cheating, the consequences could be very bad.

  12. A little hint about the coming chapters:

    Spoiler

    There is more to gravitics than it seems, something special.

     

    1. daniel l.

      daniel l.

      Indeed. :wink:

      I'm working on chapter #6 now. It will be somewhat shorter than the previous ones, about 900 words.

  13. I've begun to lose interest in the mystery/horror theme.

    What if I start over and do a 4x game instead?

    1. daniel l.

      daniel l.

      I've been getting back into it. But we're still kind of setting up shop here. My gaming machine isn't even connected to WiFi yet. (It's too far from the router.)

      @theaveragepxtseryu I might. :wink: It probably would not have jumpscares though.

      Yes. Except perhaps more focused on interplanetary travel and realism rather than interstellar.

  16. I have the navigation system nearly complete now. Then the inspection system will follow. :)

    What do you guys think? I doubt text based games are still very popular, would you be interested?

    1. daniel l.

      daniel l.

      That's great!

      I've already completed the navigation system, next I will work on the Inspection system.

      The Inspection system will allow the player to take a closer look at specific items.

      After that I hope to create a procedural crew (It's better that way, though the story remains the same, the player will not be able to immediately know who's innocent or guilty.) and a conversation system that lets the player talk to shipmates.

      It's noteworthy that this game is currently being made using QBasic 4.5, an antiquated and inferior programming software. But once I get access to QB64 which is currently unavailable to me, I will be able to set custom fonts and colors, as well as add pictures and many other graphical features.

  17. Gonna write a text adventure game in Qbasic to pass the time until all my gaming equipment is set up again, what kind of story do you guys suggest?

    I will release the game onto the Forum for all to play once completed :)

      Maybe a few days. Depends on the length of it, as well as the story.

      I've decided it will be a space horror game/mystery. :wink: I'm writing the story outline now.

  20. Just arrived in Washington state, it'll be a few days before everything is unpacked and ready, so it'll be a while before I get back to work. But don't worry, it'll be soon :)

    1. daniel l.

      daniel l.

      Sounds good :)

      I've actually lived in Washington since I was 5 years old, however I do spend time living in other states frequently, I lived in Nampa Idaho from late 2011 (that was a hellish year, my father nearly lost his job to the recession and several beloved pets died, one of Kidney failiure, the other had to be put down because of an injury.) to late 2015 when I went back to my home in Long Beach Washington which I'm living in currently, then from late 2016 to April 2017 I've lived in California's El Dorado county.

      I can you something though, the view of Willippa bay from here is absolutely beautiful in the mornings, it never ceases to stun me. :)

  21. @Spaceception have you had time to read Chapter #3 yet? I would like to know your opinion.
