Can you imagine getting a contract as a salvage crew to go scrape a downed Idris in the middle of a swamp... at night? Man that would be sick. You and your crew mucking through waste-high swamp water with your torches on, hearing all sorts of creepy sounds, and trying to use your equipment to grab what you can off the downed metal hulk. It would make for a really cinematic experience.

[@quietreason8679]

@@Billy-bc8pk As much as I like cinematic experiences, I hope they'll allow us to do a salvage operation like that without constantly getting swarmed by enemies. I'm way more into exploration than combat, and this could finally be the game that delivers on that front (if it ever delivers of course).

[@davidbigboutay782]

I finally realized what activates my uncanny valley about ferns in videogames. All the fronds are perfect green instead of the ones that receive less water/light turning a brownish red. For some reason the ferns in the Jungle demo were much better than the ferns in the Alpine demo.

[@puppergump4117]

Could also just be the shadows. The jungle one looked good probably because it was in a very small area and not yet optimized.

[@lemonf6859]

Stop using uncanny valley interchangeably with weird, uncomfortable or unrealistic. Uncanny valley can not be applied to things not human-like and even if so, uncanny valley means something looks so close to a real human it triggers a weird sensation where you know it is fake but it's so close to reality your brain almost cannot differentiate.. Not because you think the ferns don't look right.

[@JamesWitte]

Its their movement as well as colour. Hopefully AI can solve complex foliage movement properly soon.

[@GUNNER67akaKelt]

In my biome, the ferns are ALL green until fall sets in. I have a large area with a sea of ferns at the back of my property. Nothing but green in spring and summer. Perhaps the difference is between temperate zones and tropical zones. Plants all start off about the same age as they sprout in spring, in temperate zones. In tropical zones, plants are continuously growing and so the older leaves stick around and show their distress. So I'd say CIG has it right.

[@davidbigboutay782]

@@GUNNER67akaKelt Eh. Go out in the woods in the Pacific Northwest and you'll see plenty of ferns with curled brown edges mixed in with normal. It's more an issue of moisture and sunlight.

These planets are usually terraformed by the UEE in universe, as alien biology is not compatible with humans most of the time. It’s called “life seeding” and it’s a concept inside the lore. Humanity found the most suitable plants and animals from the multiple early planets they conquered and created a template of sorts to terraform suitable worlds into. Microtech’s global ice age is actually because of such a terraforming project going horribly wrong. This is also why space cows and copions are everywhere.

They finished jungle biomes and swamp biomes several months ago and they are now part of Planet Tech V5, which is being rolled into Genesis. We will see them whenever the next solar system featuring a jungle biome is presented (I doubt they will update Microtech or Hurston to include them). So in terms of when we will see this in the PU? Likely whenever Terra arrives, unless they decide to add a jungle biome to one of the Pyro planets.

And you could only load into like 2-5 tiny landing areas per planet (and some would not even have any landing area). Now you get millions of km² per planet to fully fly around with multiple PoI, story arcs and mission givers and ways to do exploration, hunting, mining, salvaging, fps mission, base building etc etc etc. This is far and beyond anything that was originally planned for the game and it is far better that way.

Yea there’s something really crazy in software development. It’s called iteration. Sure they could just stay in 2016 or they could continue to improve their planet generation further and further. They’ve already iterated on the original planet tech up to v4. This is just v5 with further tech to improve the planet generation.

[@19iason19]

@@natewagstaff2516 but when they promise that with iteration #4 they could fulfill certain aspects and they did not achieve why should they do it with iteration #5? Especially when #5 makes things nicer (quality) but does not ramp up quantity? Ok, there should always be improvements… but we are talking about 8 years minimum now between #4 and #5. A lot time to realize that #4 was not the true fulfillment- right? At the same time they continued to make promises based on #4. Something does not work within their project control processes or reporting. One clue could be CR‘s infamous micromanagement .

@19iason19 They were already working on the V5 when you heard the promises. They continue to improve their tools constantly. And it has nothing to do with Chris micromanagement.

It seems like they want to use this on older planets as well. Like I would expect that they will redo the biomes on Microtech for example, as they already showed off the new forest density on Microtech in that example. After that I would guess all these new biomes like Swamps only make sense on Terra itself, as the other planets are not supposed to have such biomes according to the lore. That means it could take another 2-4 years, since we first get Pyro next year, then probably 1 year later or in the same year Nyx (as it is a small system and most interior was already finished) and then we would get Castra (which might come with some redwood biome, idk) and then in 3-4 or more years I would expect Terra (as it has a vast city and multiple PoIs and will be one of the more difficult planets/systems to create.

[@RonJeremy514]

​@@natewagstaff2516 I'm pointing out the crowd going "WOOH!!!" for moving a log on the water. That's not revolutionary at all, it's an overreaction. Even a very old Havoc physics engine can do that the same. And no matter if Star Citizen has 1/6 scale planets or not (that doesn't matter for that particular effect or feature). Even Star Citizen uses little tricks to reduce the load thankfully since it's not running well everywhere, and forests will definitely make it run just as bad as in cities. Just watch it. That will be very complicated without a technology similar to Nanite. Parallax decals are one thing, filling a scene with many props on top of realistic lighting with path or ray tracing, shadows and AO, effects, volumetric particles, 16K texture everything (ships have 4K textures, some other areas of SC anything between 4K, 8K or 16K alternatively). And the game is already running pretty bad without a Lumen or Ray tracing tech. Not everything SC does is more advanced than others.

[@GUNNER67akaKelt]

No, nothing really new here. The diffence is the SCALE. The entirety of Skyrim would fit in a large crater on ONE of SC's planets.

[@RonJeremy514]

​@@GUNNER67akaKelt That's not a matter of scale everywhere. A UE5 engine could run their swamp environment way better with the same texture sizes (or everything at a default 8K parallax with Nanite because SC uses a mix of 4K, 8K and 16K here and there) and basically the entire planet. Imo 16K textures are overkill even for 4K display res and the engine is dying even for the SQ42 demo that's uploaded and ironed out compared to the CitizenCon live version. That's a big problem. People want to think that Star Engine is the best of the best but they barely implement features we have seen years ago actually. Besides it's not about having the best engine: I don't care if a game is UE5 and wel used, I also want a good game. There was Crysis which was awesome back in the days, then there was Crysis 2, and finally Crysis 3. And hum... Well, the latter two were very beautiful too, don't get me wrong, but were crappy games too.

[@GUNNER67akaKelt]

​@@RonJeremy514 My point being, Unreal Engine 5 is for 'small' maps (several kilometers). Nobody is saying UE5 isn't beautiful and can do all these things already, but show me it making a planet the size of mars or even the moon... AND then be able to fly seamlessly from that planet to 9 others of similar sizes and over a dozen moons, also huge, with that same fidelity. It simply can't. At this point in time, anyway.

[@aronhayse9895]

unreal doesn't support planetary tech tools

[@paryss7810]

is not lol,

[@rabbit9577]

Unreal 5 is great, but you're limited to the things the engine were intended to. For some things you need a custom engine

[@paryss7810]

@@rabbit9577 UE5 its good to use only for tech demos, not Games bro, you can see ,,limits'' by engine in every game on UE

[@GUNNER67akaKelt]

Show me Unreal 5 doing an entire planet. Now show me Unreal 5 doing multiple planets and moons (actual huge ones, not like those small ones in NMS) all without loading screens. Can it do that?

scam. this is already existed since years at last 5 years and the maker sold licences to game developers. Nothing new. But im not suprised this scam is just lie to its fans so long time ago...

[@GeorgyOkopian]

the presentation is 100% made on unreal engine. but fans will eat shit and believe in genesis 😂

[@natewagstaff2516]

Yea it’s worth it having your devs develop things on unreal engine just for a demo you are a genius.

[@thumpertron]

🤡

[@dyosorkan]

Genesis isn't an engine, it's a tool set for Star Engine to develop physics based environment plus UE5 can't handle planetary scale XD

[@GeorgyOkopian]

@@natewagstaff2516 they used unreal to create and show a beautiful video clip. you have to feed stupid fans with shit and at least promise something. and how could you do it? right. show a beautiful video created with the help of other services and programs. because the engine on which the "game" is created, sorry, not a game, but a Techno-demo, will not allow you to create such beautiful videos🤗
