Won't reveal it yet, giving Shawn a chance to write the story where he could sell it with a better effect.
Provided he can find the time and the muse while playing his Star Wars games

I hope he releases his idea for review before the committee prior to going public. I mean.. what if he gets drunk and writes a horrible story for the game!

Maybe a mad-libs style script with all the nouns and adjectives removed to be filled in by everyone in the forums. That is how all the block-buster games are written these days.

Nearly every sentence will have "smelly," "poop," "toilet," and "boobies" in it.

Hehe, actually I've made a bit of progress on the story

I'm currently reworking one part, because I think my physics/math is off.

I'm getting some other research done too, for a "crucial" point in the novella.  Unfortunately, certain cosmic forces that could literally happen in the next ten years may force me to rethink using that plot device.

And as for how humanity ended, it ends when ...

... I tell it to end

Oh, and I just had to add:

I've been writing a lot of the story on my iPad.  Last Monday I flew to San Jose, CA for business, and brought it along so I could finish up a couple of the chapters.  On Thursday, I was running late getting to my flight, and a ticket agent sent me to the wrong line.  I set my iPad down on the desk, tried to get the machine to spit out my boarding pass, and when I looked up, she had apparently already placed it on the conveyor belt for checked baggage.  I didn't realize it until about 10 minutes later.

SOOO, my iPad is somewhere in California at the moment, awaiting FedEx to send it back home to me :p

I know Captain Amanda Pierce won't be looking forward to its return ... I was currently writing a part of the novel where things get a bit rough for her :p

Sounds like this will be showing up sometime soon. If possible I love to be part of the beta, have done game development (models/scripting missions/basic coding) before, even some at university but nothing major or worth hanging on the wall

For me I have been mostly waiting for a decent flexible ultra large scale engine to come out and Outerra looks to fit the bill, maybe I will look at indie development in my spare time one day who knows.

Anyway system specs below.

AMD 4x @ 3.6ghz
4GB DDR3 Memory
Nvidia 560 Ti 1024MB Video Card
Windows 7 64bit
TrackIR and dual screen (if needed for testing sometime?)

Best of luck with the UI, from what I seen so far, simple and basic is fine for a alpha/beta.

If you need a tester , i would like to help

[Spartan46]

and i follow this project from a long time ago ... i cant wait!!!

[Spartan46]

i was following all the project but I had nothing to say.

[Spartan46]

Ok good

This project looks amazing; an entire planet locally rendered on my pc? That is enough to make anyone drool, anyone who actually appreciates the technological hurdles that is. The possibilities are endless, and i would gladly pay $60 to demo this game rather than on the Call of the Battlefield 3: Modern Combat. Keep up the good work!

[outtera pro]

amazing, i saw this amazing engine and i have to say it looks 1000% ORIGINAL. which means it has no garbage graphics, sounds, or effects. GREAT ENGINE

[alexmdv]

Maybe I can help to test engine.

They don't accept people to test the pre alpha anymore ! Read the blodi posts. You'll be able to play and preorder it at demo/alpha release.
