Dual Universe

[Alien]

This looks interesting ...

An MMO sci-fi space game and they claim it's going to use a "single shard" with all players sharing the same universe. Players can also build ships and buildings.

Its kickstarter launches on Sept 7th https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1949863330/dual-universe-civilization-building-sci-fi-mmorpg and I think it'll get funded very very quickly.

A couple of interesting clips showing the instancing, building and gameplay - all pre-alpha.
Looks to have a lot in common with Empyrion and Planet Nomads, but they are planning for definitely MMO-type gameplay. Nice planet-side graphics, and in-space as well. I like the "look" they are going for.

I have to say their dynamic handling of multiplayer is seriously impressive.

It sounds impressive. The narrator didn't actually say anything that means anything. What he said is basically 'we scale update frequency with distance so closer things will get updated more frequently'. We'll never know until they release something people can test.

However, if they don't have physical simulation to sync, it wouldn't be too big of a deal. It would sync pretty well even with really high numbers of players.

Quite sparse in information though. What's a DAC?? some sort of subscription fee?

It looks like it will be pay to play, with in-game purchases. I will never play such a game.
