Amazing stuff. It reminds me of Limit Theory which is also awesome. Keep up great work!

Thanks! Don't be sorry - I myself have relatively little hope for the game aspect of it - most of my hope is allocated to what modders might do with it. The reason I am putting in a game is to dogfood my product and make sure I focus on relevant features (in addition to driving some sales - I don't think I could survive off engine sales alone initially). The game ideas were, and still are, quite vague, but I am takin…
I think it would be awesome if some well known game designers that have worked on similar games can donate some time to advise on the gameplay aspects of it. I know that if I were such a person, I would definitely find some time to help out on such an ambitious project. There's no reason why, with as much time as you're putting into the coding, that the game play aspects couldn't be just as interesting.
Dang!

Sorry - I'm not all that good with formatting options, how do you do it on an HN post? I know the reddit method. Edit, looks like your links work now in my browser, but I can't edit my post anyway, its timed out.
Congratulations on getting funded! And thanks for the reminder -- I've been meaning to back the project since it's from a fellow San Diegan (as well as being an awesome project). Looking forward to that launch party.
This looks great, I'd not have known about it were it not for this post on HN! Grabbed the $50 level as I'm an SD native so a launch party sounds like a lot of fun.

He's telling the admin (username: dang), not you.

Good luck! with your project! I once worked on and off on a 3D engine in C++ for about 8 years and know how much effort and perseverance it takes. I was young and somehow lost track while hacking in memory pools, shader generators and a custom scripting language... Don't fall into this trap! Keep it simple, don't NIH too much and focus on gameplay! One question I have: How do you generate those wonderful, non-repeati…
Thanks, great advice - I have no choice but to focus on gameplay here out. Lack of gameplay really hurt my KS campaign and I don't have much time to do anything but get a functional game in there now, as early access will start within a few months (that said going to try and avoid all the bad things about early access). Everything is based on math, so its easy to make things non-repeating. Voronoi Diagrams, "Lichtenb…
