I think at this point, realism has to be suspended and simply say you respawn, like the videogame that it is, with no in-universe explanation. The in-universe explanations get a little bit silly.

Ok, so if you think people lose experience like that... then be my guest.
nothing in this thread is, you're just being picky
Well, if you don't want to explain what you meant...

I wish I had hooves.
But... That render clearly shows fingers, and an opposable thumb. You're not looking at the legs, are you?
I mean, there are two arms with fingers and thumbs hanging down right there in the middle of the body.
As long as they have a thumb and more than one finger, surely they can accomplish most tasks befitting technological advancement?
Talking of needing hands or not, I'm surprised no ones mentioned Pierson'd Puppeteer - https://larryniven.fandom.com/wiki/Pierson's_Puppeteer
IMO I think it's better to complete a gameplay pillar before adding another one.
The game will be a series of partially complete pillars if new features continue to be added on without the previous one being completed.
On the planetary side, it's half done. U can land on airless, barren rocks, but not those with atmo's.
Adding in space legs also means that, if you were able to walk on the surface of a planet, it would be also only be restricted to airless rocks.
Now you have 2 halves instead of a whole....
Yeah, take away creating an entire galaxy and the ability to fly loads of ships in it, and what's left
yes, it's a failed project. it could be for whatever reasons, but what it definitely is not is proof of savoir faire.
so if you need brain surgery you would prefer the one doctor who botched up just one intervention, out of one, bc that's relevant experience? way to go, knights are indeed a brave breed, woooo!

Outsider was cancelled by the publisher. Still who needs experience in making games when this board is full of non-experts in exactly the same field telling them what they should be doing?
Precisely this. It’s like they all just have a short attention span and never finish any one part.
The next logical step was to finish what Horizons started, not go off on yet another tangent. A tangent that, if it follows existing trends, will be severely lacking in gameplay and will be poorly implemented.
just made a toast, rubbed some garlic on it and tossed some olive oil on top. excellent breakfast, even with tea. just telling you bc you seem to collect irrelevant facts and curiosities, you're welcome.
we're not telling them what to do!? we're just leakering around!
i just mentioned that online first person games are not in frontier's expertise and performance area and some attendants seem to have suffered a momentary seizure, but other than that it's all nice and dandy here! frontier do what they please, we rant as we see fit.
Wait what? Pulled by bitmap brothers? What do you mean exactly and where did you see this info?

Here is an alternative scenario to that:
FDEV has mentioned in a few occasions that their development priorities admittedly usually rank higher those features or mechanics that represent the highest risks or difficulty for delivery.
From that point of view it would make sense that they first manage to deliver the planetary surfaces (arguably the most difficult part of planetary stuff, with or without atmospheres) and then the first person mechanics and related core elements.
Atmospheres and related effects or content would probably rank much lower in terms of risks to become a blocker for delivery of the final vision.
Not sure if this is what may actually happen but just some food for tought.

IMO there's too much being made of them not making an fps game before. Frontier hadnt made a galaxy simulator before either. Nobody really had. They'd not made a sophisticated flight assist off game either. Those went fine and there's plenty of scope for looking at previous fps games to fall back on. Indeed not many exist where moving around in zero gravity exist, so that's a pretty new and entirely challenge to just walking about.
I'll wager they nail the fps mechanics because they've done an outstanding job on the rest of them.
Next time don't keep all the wood for yourself and you might get some experience...
I got some XP point and a nice pile of wood
According to some you don't get XP if you don't deliver the mission.I got some XP point and a nice pile of wood
2 digits on four appendages, yet 3 digits on it's 'hands'? I can't think of an example of this occurring in nature.
