Tencent might be actually considering just that...Gnashing of teeth, wailing, renting of clothes and lawsuit threats incoming...
New Planet Tech is KILLER of Exploration (all terrain is tiling/repeating/not procedural/random)
- Thread starter BlackMaze
- Start date
Too darned right! These silk shirts ain't cheap, you know!
Dream on...Tencent might be actually considering just that...
They hold a block of shares, they'll just sell them on and hope to not lose too much, they knew the risk.
I guess Alec was spot on.
What Would David Say?

"..bad procedural generation. [..] We see things where you can see the patterns, because it's too simplistic, it's too obviously computer generated. And the problem with that is, it's essentially bad art..."

I think that guy no longer work for Fdev.
So many things he said that would never happen.

Yes but that conflicts with their mantra of minimum viable product.
Am i the only one who could not load anymore the issue on the tracker ?
Hmmm...
Apart from low quality image, what is that supposed to be showing- It's missing the red circles
It's a high quality image actually, I'm on max setting when I explore.
weird - I never get planetary textures that look that bad. Sorry for you
Do you honestly see tilling in that picture?
or is my sarcasm detector really bad today?
Quoted for truth!
Fractal vs copy / paste - hmmm...
On Topic: Huge shock there! Only surprise is they admitted it.
It would still be acclaimed by a minority who would claim it's "for the best" and now that fictive resources are finally be put into developing what is important for the game.For the love of god dont poke them hornet nest that is fdev, they might cancel the PC version next (seeing as its the pnly one left)
Which is yet to be determined.
ah - that's the fun isn't it
EDIT: I see repeating patterns to the same degree as some have posted on here - not the extreme example, obviously.
EDIT:EDIT - my point being - we will always see patterns - just like we see faces in things, where no face was intended, it's the way we are wired. I don't deny EDO has some bad examples, but people are getting carried away with them.
I'll try and post some examples later - busy at the mo'

Well, it's obvious that after the first half of the FY2022 results were analyzed in December 2021 they cut a lot of resources from Elite.
The almost 3 months silence, dropping console dev, now basically abandoning any attempts at fixing the brand new planetary tech - well, tilling, but i dont expect to see any improvements, we will be left with a mostly bland terrain punctured by occasional shark teeth popping out of nowhere.
I'm really curious where the next cuts will happen
