It looks like we are really starting to see the true interest in this engine by people. Even though the current votes are not representative of the total population of gamers it does give a good indication where the possible direction of the engine could go.

[TacticalmanDK]

Why can't it just be Gmod style with one game with both Fly sim, boat sim, military sim and space sim and also build sim?

[KelvinNZ]

Only the programmers will be able to answer that.

[necro]

Technically it could. There are no restrictions in using several vehicles or gamemodes. But that would mean huge tons of work.

[Minoza]

Just enough for the huge amounts of people interested in working on that.

This whole "old school" way of thinking bores me. We must come up with new terminology. What is that thing called where you can do anything? Oh yeah. Real life.

Well Outerra can be just that. All the things, all the time, all at the SAME time, all over the place.

No point in having train sim's and military sims and flight sims and building/machining/vehicle building(gmod) sims all separate. The world is too big for that. Let's have them all at once.

Now who volunteers to be the Simulated Garbage collector?..  SOMEBODY WILL 2011

nice post zeos
In germany you can buy them in shops and i always make fun of that crap. "Hey darling, are you interested in buying the Agriculture Simulator ?" And every times she makes a disgusted face. So if she refuses i take the next one and ask the same question ^^

So the point is, that these sims are using probably the same engine with several models. Thats cheap and generates $$ But its boring and lame.

If you have ever played Shores Of Hazeron, then you'll understand why I could end up choosing about 5 of these options. I want to see this Engine, but with the playability of Hazeron. The idea of creating any city I want on any planet and still be able to design my own starship to explore the galaxy .....  well let's just say, I have had very little sleep lately.. lol

[AJMB]

Just a suggestion.
You would probably get more pronounced results if you gave just one choice per person.
As it stands now, the results seem rather homogeneous.

[ZeosPantera]

Well, if someone only wants a military sim they can choose only to check that. But most of us are looking into this engine as a conglomeration of all our favorite genre's. IE, I have never been in a military sim that had really good vehicle physics both in the sky and on the ground. So I checked Mil-sim, Car sim and flight sim. I want them all equally. (probably car sim most but all three are needed)

[AJMB]

Oops, I misunderstood the purpose of this poll. Since the link at the top of the forum is right next to the link about Anteworld, I thought that the poll was for what should be added into that game. Now I see that they're quite separate.

Sorry about that.

If you've ever heard of a game called Wurm Online, I always thought the Outerra engine would be a great candidate to make a more advanced/larger version of Wurm Online.

I don't know what it's like with having lots of player made structures though.

I play WURM Online. I'm part of MR.

I have mentioned to several people this very thing. WURM Online would be 10 times better with this engine.
