14th June Update

I'll be spending this Father's day hoping you guys will work on the game...just like the past days since Starbound's announcement.

 

I won't be doing anything for Father's Day because it won't be Father's Day here...

 

Anyone from the dev family, I have a question reguarding your development platform. What was the reason you chose SDL? Do you all generally have more experience with it? I've just changed from SDL to SFML and I love it, but I was wondering for what reason you all stuck with SDL? I know its great, just asking : D Cheers!!!

 

Thought that it's Omni's troll for today

 

I will be doing the same other then saying hi...

 

I am actually celebrating Father's Day early, but it is mostly likely going to be spent having lunch with my step father and on Sunday I'll call up my Father and wish him a happy father's day. Plain and simple really

 

On weekends, it is necessary to go to a country house. Run the bears from the apiary and cover the roof of his small house.

 

plannin to do a big fat nothin on fathers day mostly because of family issues. as sure as i am no one really cares "and why should you" i dont think celebrating ones dad for being a violent bastard is any good so actually thinking about it. on fathers day. i just think ill go outside and just scream curses that or get a voodoo doll. a fat voodoo doll.. none of ya happend to have one at hand ? liked the updated as usual and all those delicious walking monkeystea.. i mean npcs. >_> <_< >_> florans gotta eat sooomething dont judge me..:catface2:

 

Man, I sure do like the atmosphere of these apartments. Is that a big banana statue behind the temperature bar? That'll make a great lawn ornament.
Eeep, I just noticed the face in that bottom floor telescreen. Big Ape is watching!

NOTE: Most of this is guessing, but some of it is fact.

 

I'm seriously hoping for yes on all of the personality attributes so the game feels more alive. I also am hoping that whatever isn't added, can be modded in. I'd seriously love to get on board with an npc mod or even start one of my own; sadly I know nothing of coding.

 

I think unique personalities would be rather difficult to implement, unless you had had code that made procedurally generated ai code by whacking together ai presets, like reactions and idle actions.
WAIT! Code that makes code... ITS REPLICATING!

 

Meh, still could be done. I've seen npc personalities before.

 

I'd like to see it done too, it'd add a lot of depth, its just got me thinking on how they'd actually get it done! I guess you could have pseudo-personalities, where little differences make it look like unique personalities, whereas its actually just, "when idling do this instead of that". Its still a very good idea. The whole marriage and children this is good too, it reminds me of that mod for minecraft, Minecraft Comes Alive, which replaces Villagers (read: Caveman Squidwards) with actual people that you could marry and have children with. The one problem i can see with that is...

What happens when a Glitch and a Hylotl love eachother very much?

 

Same here.
What I did for Father's Day was getting extremely drunk, because that's actually what Father's day is about in Germany. True story.

 

Planning to EAT CAKE (596%)

 

We really need this to be in the next update, so we can see what they would be able to do.

Omni, if you are reading this, you must deliver.

Or else we will call you OmnipotentSafe.

 

Well, he claims to be omnipotent so that shouldn't be that big of a problem for him.

 

I was talking about IcyOrio's questions, a few posts were in there when I was typing, and/or not refreshing for 40 minutes.
