Limit Theory: An Infinite, Procedural Space Game (KS funded)

[matthewfarmery]

 

this is another space sim that is using Procedural generation techniques to build a universe,

 

if you check the video, this is a guy in his 20's doing all the work, the game will have planet landings, will have factions, you will be able to own stations (proposed stretch goal) ships will be different each time, as the universe will be based upon a seed, if you don't know what Procedural generation techniques is. then please check

but basically, Elite / frontier / FFE used this to generate worlds, granted they did get similar after a while, but the principal stands

 

I think this is the next elite and I have more faith in this game then I do with ED and DB, at least the LT dev has something to show, and is on the KS comments a fair bit, also the video is VERY WELL DONE!! he really puts ED to shame

 

even Chris Roberts has backed this guy, and nearly offered him a job, (but knew he wouldn't take it, as he is working on this game) but if this raising star does take up CR offer at some point, then SC or its sequel will be even better,

 

but anyway, I backed LT at the $60 which is a good deal, and there is a lot more on its way, a lot more, including random generated cities and more, I hope he can manage, its a lot of work, but as he already got a lot done, I think at the end of the day this is going to be the closest elite game so far

 

I have backed this guy and have faith in him

 

there is still a long way to go from the time of writing this and already he got half way in the funding goal of $50,000 which is pretty small, but I can see this getting to 100k easy

 

please check the video, and I hope you support this guy, we need to see the return of the bedroom programmers, that helped make many old games reality back in the day, we don't really see them now, so with KS as a good platform, they are slowly making a return

 

I hope you back him,

 

PS

 

he does have a lot of plans for the game, ship editor, station editor, owning planets and stations, commanding fleets and getting them do to your bidding, and a great deal more,

no alien races yet, (but this is understandable if he doesn't add them, as this is a one man project) but he has a lot of promise and that video shows he already got a lot of work done, I have way more faith in LT then I have in ED at the moment in time, and while I did back Elite dangerous at the start, I did end up pulling my pledge, as I just had one concern too many, and the lack of updates was a concern, and the fact that negative comments were also ignored

 

but I have more faith in LT, so anyway I backed this, only wish I could pledge more
