Re: New Buildings

well, I think that from a galactic empire's point of view, getting the empire to work as one cohesive thing would be a key goal. Raising production on some planets is very difficult. I think that problem, that the universe is unpredictable, and that all of your planets might not get construction hig...

Re: New Buildings

I pulled out most ideas, leaving just the two most promising.

They seem ok ?

Re: Make me a list of sound effects

d-lusion.com I tinker in rubber duck and dt 010, pretty nifty stuff. musagi and sfxr are also amazing for creating sound. musagi has a great nes sound chip, z-80, emulator built in. you have full control of the waveform generators, so making an instrument is easy. It also has a decent midi setup. ru...

Re: Make me a list of sound effects

I might need to grab a mic and go record the freeway for some of those. :)

Make me a list of sound effects

Make me a list of a dozen to two dozen basic sound effects. I will sit down in sfxr, which is unrestricted. I will output them to wavs, upload them somewhere for FO, so they can be merged. I cannot promise they will be off the utmost highest quality, but they should get things started. I will also m...

Re: Developer (and artist? and sound?) recruiting

for sound effects, look into sfxr, its free, and generate basic bleeps bloops and blips all day long. a quick high-pass over rough ones and a little reverb in audacity or what have you and they are good enough for laser fire. It output 44khz wavs, that you can do whatever you want to. I think it sho...

New Buildings

I have been tasked to create some basic buildings. First, I think the number of buildings on a planet should be limited. Probably by size of planet and some other factors. I reduced these down to the two most promising. Galactic Medical Center: people get sick and get hurt. This is not your average ...

Re: What is your favourite alien species and WHY?

the Nox from stargate sg1. they are so incredibly powerful, yet peaceful and live in harmony with nature. they simply do not need to fight, they just avoid your combat altogether, leaving you light years away. the Predator, from "what the #()@% are you ?" the ultimate hunter, so powerful, ...

Re: Casual gaming and combat in Free Orion

I think you should also consider Dramatic Battles, and Critical Battles to the above options. Dramatic Battles are when combat is resolved automatically, you are shown a portion of it, say the last few turns, or 30 seconds. These are like getting reports from the battle after the fact. Critical Batt...

AI Personality Archtypes

Geoff told me to say this here. AI needs to be done. Using Personality Archtypes is how things were done before, and its how I propose we do them now. Personality is generated or chosen if an interface is built for it. Personality Is based on 2 basic parts for the time being, Attitude and Policy. At...
