If this game will be like they say it will... man this is going to own:P lol
The part where you can ride a spaceship owns me already... you have a lot of planets.. godamnit let this game come out soon God ooohh.... What do you guyz think about it?

Yes, the game sounds great, but I have a lot of doubts.

1) the only way for them to maintain thousands of planets without lagging up the server would be to "instance the planets" aka relative to your machine onle, with minor exceptions.

2)it sounds like there is going to be a lot of empty space, void of players.

Yeah i have thought about youre first point but never thought of the second >< nice points

The game is looking great, though, and I wouldn't be surprised if other companies try to aquire them because of this.

I love the non interupted space to planets, but as I said, with the current power of PC's, there is very little options.

==>most likely, the server will keep track of players positions and the clients themselves generate the planets. There will probably be some kind of garbage collecting to delete planets that the player doesn't visit in a while or such.

But as I and others have said, this game will be a dream finally come true.

I agree that it will be a dream come true >< But the fact that there are spaceships that big already makes me dream at night:P I wonder if you really are IN the spaceship I mean how many people can get in and what do you see on youre screen when you are IN.. do you really see the inside or do you see the outside?:P

I doubt they will let you walk around the ships (ala the late star wars: jump to light speed), due to the massive amount of other things their resources need to be commited to.

-----edit-----
heres a preview of the seemless space/planet
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FO7_PwjLts

note: I just can't get enough of this youtube function. =>already 5 today.

Yeah man youtube owns:P And thanks for the video but... It would be far more better if we could walk around the ships... :( And how many planets will there be cuz that one is huge.....:P

Well, the features on the site says that the planets are dynamically generated so that everyone will be garanteed to be able to discover a breand new planet.

So in such they claim the servers will be able to support an infinite number of planets.

I hope so because I really wanna play this game... they never said anything about when they were going to release it right? And If you land on a planet do we have normal weapons to like guns and stuff... :D:D And another thing if its so big ... how can we ever meet some live...lol and are there any animals and stuff?

Well, here's everyting they have said, thus far.


Current development status

* Open ended gameplay: unlike many other games, Infinity does not force you to play in any specific way. The game is race-less, class-less and skill-less. You can play as a merchant, trade, mine asteroids or minerals on planets, explore the galaxy, do scientific research, create your own industrial corporation.. or, if you are more into action, play as a space pirate.. at your own risk.

* Real-time fighting: most MMORPGs today use a turn-based approach to combat. In Infinity, you are directly controling your spaceship movements and lasers. Your own skills and dexterity will make the difference, not a bunch of stats on your character!

* Persistent universe: infinity is a massively, multiplayer online game. The universe is persistent. When you are not playing online, the game does not stop. Other players continue to play, the universe evolves, and new things are always happening.

* Procedural universe: procedural programming is a technique to let the computer generate the game universe on-the-fly, in real-time on request, rather than manually building everything. Because of this, the generated universe can be absolutely huge. In Infinity, billions of worlds, most of them never explored by any player, are awaiting the adventurous soul.

* Seamless engine: Infinity's engine features a completely seamless experience. You can fly in space and land on planets.. without any loading times or unnatural transitions.

* Planet landing: you are not restricted as to where you can land. Explore every square centimeter of your home planet! On planets you can see the flora and fauna, find oceans, hills, mountains, cities, and a lot of other details.

* Unique quests: Infinity offers a wide range of missions available in space stations or cities. But sometimes you might want to try something more challenging. Discover the storyline's quests. Unlike missions, quests follow a real story, and can only be accomplished by one player (or a group of players). Once the quest is done, it disappears forever from the game and is no longer available to other players. Be the first to complete a quest, and you'll get fame, money... and much more.

* Newtonian physics: rigid body physics are used to simulate the game objects. However, the newtonian space flight will be controlled by a computer, which will simplify the navigation. The amount of inertia is automatically adjusted. It will be very easy to travel in space, land on a planet, or dock to a station in manual mode.

* Astrophysics: Unlike most other games, Infinity respects the relative scales and distances one could find in space. Realistic orbits are used, and planets move in real-time. Many systems have multiple suns, with a complete hierarchy of celestial bodies orbiting around each other. You will find moons and asteroids in orbit of larger planets, themselves orbiting the sun(s).

sounds like eve online O.o

Yeah a little bit but I think this game's space is more bigger... And I hope with more options..:P A friend and I made some ideas.. If someone could make a game about those ideas... the game would own everyone lol but it's to much to make:P and I dont wanna typ it right now ><

EvE Online is essentially a dropdown menu, click, move game.

One thing that will be different is in EvE, you can't land on Planets (sometimes you fly right through them) and you have to go to a known marker, no free roaming, with exception to just firing up your engines (I don't even know why they add that option anyway)

Plus, unlike EvE, assuming from the videos, the ship control will be in your hands, not a drop menu.

Well thanks for clearing that out ncyphe and for all the other questions ^^ now... lets just pray this game will be as good as it seems.... It would be great if we could take over ships from others.. lol that would be amazing:P
