This one struck particular interest because of the recent talk of 5-10 systems at launch. Transcript: https://relay.sc/transcript/happy-hour-july-28th-2017-summary TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read) Today's Happy Hour was a GameDev featurette with Gareth Bourne using the SolED editor to show how they build solar systems. SolED was designed to make the creation of solar systems much quicker and give developers a way to easily setup systems in 2D and 3D. The objects in the solar systems are all affected by physics so placement of planets within a system in relation to a star has an affect on the speed of the orbit and the gravity around them. In the first half of the show Gareth showed the creation of the Stanton system with the second half being the community created solar system. The community system was named "Nope" with it having three stars and four planets. The stars were named Jared, Gareth, and Red One with the planets being planet "Nope", Spider planet, Vanduul Dog planet, and Ctrl-S because Gareth forgot to save until he was deep into creating the system. Overall the show was a fantastic way to show off the capabilities of the SolED from being able to place the planets and moons and in real time zoom all the way down the surface of said places and look back up at the stars and planets and moons and stations in the system.

Greetings Citizens! This week’s episode of Happy Hour we’re going back to the Gamedev that started it all. As you know, Star Citizen will need lots of star systems, and those systems will need planets, and those planets will need inhabitants.

LINK I've been chatting with Ziff PHH on Spectrum for his idea of an ambulatory shade tree that follows my herd animals. Predators want a shady place to eat their kill and to launch attacks from, and when they're done eating, the trees ingest the corpse cleaning up the landscape. Could be really cool to watch, plus it solves the problem of players just killing everything that moves and leaving bodies around.- 11 replies
