Title: Universe Game?
Post by: Deathranger1 on July 25, 2013, 10:28:41 pm

Does anyone know if the engine was run off a server would it be possible to expand the engine to moons, solar systems, galaxies or evan the entire Universe

Server or not, the engine currently doesn't support multiple planet bodies, even though nothing really prevents it. However, we are focusing on Earth and the ground detail, then other bodies with known data. Arbitrary planets are possible too but we aren't fans of those random self-similar planets everywhere, rather wanting to handle artistically modeled planets, or at least have a complex artificial planet modeling algorithm capable of creating interesting planets before we start covering the galaxies.

Yes but would it be possible for me to make a adaptation to the engine to make it larger scale, have space physics, and be on a much larger scale or would the engine not be capable of that

I wrote that there's nothing (read: no big technical obstacle) preventing the engine to ultimately support multiple planets and universe scale, but in its current state it doesn't support it yet.

Thanks for clearing that up
