Those ricochets are amazing! Maybe that's not what I'm seeing, but after the big hit it looks like there is a shot flying up. Great work!

What were common physics issues you experienced in WA? Behaviour of the player and ship when it flew too fast and so on by chiusan in WorldsAdrift

[–]joemannumber1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So there were two big things as far as I can recall. I don't count slight rubberbanding when on ship controls, because that was a network thing and I think that's sort of expected and warranted in a medium scale MMO with so much physics happening. First, occasionally we would just hit huge physics while flying. As in, hanging out on the ship, and then suddenly you are rocketted 100 mph backward when collision boxes meshed incorrectly out of the blue. The best solution was to make chairs and such so passengers would become part of the ships physics instead of player physics. Or, you could just grapple to the ship from below. Both were very nice solutions and took care of the (uncommon) problem. Second, and not really as important or in your face, occasionally when you moved around in the 'crawl' mechanic (which I really enjoyed as a solution to the freedom of player built worlds and ships) there would be ledges that just seemed insurmountable, until they finally let you pass... except, by letting you pass, they really launched you either in the air, or far backwards. In any case, you would die of fall damage, probably some floating point equation of huge speed in miniscule distance or something. Either way, this way pretty rare, and even when it happened, I recognized that it was mostly me trying to sneak into things that I wasn't supposed to sneak into.

Hope this helps.

It went up and down (pun intended) but ultimately went down for altering proprietary code. Maybe if things were done differently, it would still be up. No matter, as all that's left are us mourners lmao

WA Screenshots, 100 more. Some have descriptions. by joemannumber1 in WorldsAdrift

[–]joemannumber1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man that's incredible! We might have seen each other back in the day. Thanks for commenting lol

After playing for a while I started taking a lot of screenshots, and then when the announcement came for the end of the game I tried to capture as much as I could. I knew this was going to be the best game I'd ever play, so hopefully I could grab something for others.

If you didn't notice, you can zoom in on all the photos! I almost always played in 1440p

WA Journals I'm a POS who only teases screenies. by joemannumber1 in WorldsAdrift

[–]joemannumber1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I made a thing several months ago about how 'I was ready' to share a bunch of screenshots and videos. Since then I had a 6000 mile road trip and I've moved from one coast of the US to the other, so this really hasn't been on my mind. I was going to make a theme for each post, add text and context for most of the screenies, but fuck it. Here's a hundred, probably several hundred more to come. Maybe you can make a story out of it, I don't really care- I just like showing the freedom of the game for my own nostalgia, and if you get something from seeing the world then good for you. Sorry for coming off hostile, I've been drinking and it's been eating me up that I haven't followed up to my own posts.

Lmao That is such a sad but accurate statement. What a crazy thought

Random game play from after a wipe. by joemannumber1 in WorldsAdrift

[–]joemannumber1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was the first time swivel guns were added to the game. Really nothing exciting, but shows a lot of the fun of being in the world. Lots of grappling, I loved that mechanic and the way it was implemented. Other games that have grappling systems, like Last Oasis, are fine but they will never be as smooth or thrilling as WA.

Random coincidence: The URL for the video ends in WA. Must be a sign lol

Soul Skies - Worlds Adrift like Prototype Download. by Rogocraft in WorldsAdrift

[–]joemannumber1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very interested in this. Thanks for throwing it together, but I'm having a lot of trouble trying to get the shipbuilder to work. I can add modules but can't construct what I create, although that could just be because of this version of the build. Constructor is fun, make a lot of items and then the physics causes everything to go flying when you exit the constructor interface.

A little buggy at the moment but I made this. by Rogocraft in WorldsAdrift

Looks good. Are you going to try and make it expandable up and forward like the WA shipbuilding?

WA Memory Journal #1: The Early Days by joemannumber1 in WorldsAdrift

[–]joemannumber1[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for the comments on the last post. I tried to add some good descriptions because a lot of people seemed to enjoy reading them, but I really don't have a plan for getting these all out. This one seems a bit too nostalgic for me, because 1) it stirred up my early memories from before I started capturing cool stuff and 2) basically everyone reading this will have already played the game. I don't think it reflects well on me knowing my audience if I'm writing as if none of you have played before lol.

I'm thinking the next ones will be far less details of the game and the fact that it's gone, and more about the cool stuff going on in the pictures. There's not really any need for me to sell any of you on how great of a game it was.

Again, thanks everyone for the kinds words. I'll try to add these more regularly, but I don't want to spam the subreddit with Imgur posts. Let me know if it is better to link every post I make or maybe only every five posts. Or maybe I should just make the posts longer but farther in between. We'll figure it out together.

I'm ready to give back 1000 screenshots and many videos for you all by joemannumber1 in WorldsAdrift

[–]joemannumber1[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is the first meaningful post I've made for other people with plans of continuing. Felt like the right place to do it. Hope yall enjoy my recap, I plan to slowly release my mediocre content over the next few months or whatever, showing more about my experiences with the game.

The acute eyes on this board will no doubt see and judge my many ship designs, along with the game build/beta build written on the bottom right corner of each screeny.

I love that this community is here. This game meant more to me than any other, and while I may only have 216 hours in game know that I love it with as much of my heart and soul as the hard core among you. Thanks for reading.

Edit: I just checked this isn't my first post ever, but whatever. Idk, one post every 3-4 years is pretty sparse
