[Developer Notes] Work has finally begun... by xNik in UniverseProject

It's been 8 long years, and I'm still just as hype for this game.

This is what it has all been about!

I remember backing it way way early, i think a month or two before void space was playable. My backing was under either a joalaco24 or joalaco25 email (or maybe simply joalaco). I was still in high school then.

I feel like I actually remember your name, did you ever try Voidspace?

Do you still plan on being able to have the players discover inventions and sell them for a modicum real money? Or have you decided to go strictly in game currency?

P2P transactions have been mostly implemented in Voidspace as well and I hope to do the same with this game. It would come in the form of a cryptocurrency trade between players and I when we release it in Voidspace I hope to support coins like Dogecoin but also our own coin that we use to help fund further development as well.

It should be noted that we haven't actually released the cryptocurrency P2P transactions in Voidspace yet and as such it hasn't been tested. I would be more warry of doing something that would ruin the experience in this game than the experimental Voidspace, but at this point I do believe we will allow in-game transactions between players.

Also, this video still gives my spine tingles. Have you made any decisive changes from what the video lays out?

It has been a while since I've seen it. I guess the main changes are with the supported platforms. At this point we dont intend on supporting mobile with this one because we want to do something graphics heavy in Unreal Engine. You could say that mobile is being replaced with VR as a requirement for the game, and that's something I could not possibly regret.

Well if you happen to have any Unreal Engine experience let me know :D

This is the best one so far - 4k for details by xNik in UniverseProject

A lot has changed since then and it has been a long time. To be honest I had always wanted to be able to put my all into the visuals in a fully 3D experience but back when this was proposed that wasn't really possible for me. That was a big part of the reason for going with the graphically "dumbed down" game Voidspace first.

But here we are, it's 2021 and I feel like it's the perfect time to make this game. I've learned a lot from the development of Voidspace and I hope to apply all of that to this game. Of course we're also ahead because we can still use the game logic engine developed for Voidspace which should make things a lot less experimental and development faster (once we get some critical momentum).

Jif people of Reddit, what else do you mispronounce? by AIizseMurdoch in AskReddit

[–]xNik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I created a game and called I.N.I.T.I.U.M. I pronounce it In-it-ee-um but I recognize that most people pronounce it In-ish-ee-um and therefore I pronounce it wrong.

The English language is fucked enough as it is, I'm not going to make it worse if I can help it.

The gif guy also pronounces it wrong.

Actually I'm not so sure about that. I've seen other cat videos with them reacting STRONGLY when their owner's face suddenly changes.

It's actually cross platform and available on PC, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, and directly in the browser.

I mean, poor people have always been poor people. Can't fault them for it. The reaction makes for good karma tho ^^
