One thing I'm still worried about is the possibility that there could be a sort of pacifist mode, where people just build stuff for no reason other than building stuff.
That could be quite interesting. Why don't you like the idea (or do you mean you hope this happens)? |

Melly my good chap, did you just say you were WORRIED about the inclusion of a pacifist mode? Because if so, maybe you should go shoot yourself.  ATMOSPHERE FOR ATMOSPHERE'S SAKE EXPLORATION FOR THE WIN WE SHALL CONQUER THE OPPRESSORS OF VIOLENCE AND BADLY DESIGNED ENVIRONMENTS |

I'm am pretty sure now that he meant he was worried about the mode not being included. It wouldn't make sense to want an optional gameplay mode to not be included.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... I didn't phrase myself perfectly.
Sometimes you just want to build shit and show the glory of your architecture to people.
Though of course, when we were bored we could start killing eachother inside one of GregWS' architectural thingmajigs.

What I'm wondering is with all the attention this has been getting, will I manage to secure a spot in the TIGland?

Wow, what a cool idea can't see it working too well in a mmo sense mind since you'll log out and when you get back your whole place will be destroyed

Like an mmo version of garry's mod. That'd get a thumbs up from me. |

I love the looks of the game, but Eskil himself sounds like a Pretentious Asshole.

No Hideous not the P WORD!!!! I haven't read enough of his blog posts to really make a judgement for his character but he is incredibly smart. Although maybe he went a little overboard on some things, like building his own 3d modeling application. I mean that's very impressive and cool but was it absolutely necessary? Well at least he released it open source which is very awesome. |

Not if you build decent defenses. It also depends on how frequently the computer attacks your city. Have you ever played Starport? You can log out while at a colony, and when you log back it sometimes you'll still be at the colony and sometimes you'll be floating in space in an escape pod. It still works, though. |

i saw this a little while ago and was interested. but like others have said, i was much more interested in the tools.
i really liked the part where he has created the area in the engine and is changing the color of the texture so easily.
i thought that was extremely handy when it comes to world building.

Or similar to pacifist mode a mode where basestuff isn't destroyed, just disabled temporarily, and the objective is to steal stuff from other bases. It would end up as a defensive arms race to see who has the largest penis base.

Haha, yes. I was in the mood to comedically overreact anyhow; too much sitting around yesterday...until I went for a walk in the river valley and found out that the panorama that's been my desktop background for a week is no longer real, because a footbridge across the river is being built.  ( because a footbridge would be nice, but it's really messing up the naturalness of the place.) |

Yes. I had to rephrase myself.
I don't mind the tools and whatever at all, it's his attitude. Mostly stuff I can't actually mention here.

No More Sweden?
Well, thanks for mentioning it anyway, because I wouldn't have thought he was an asshole if you hadn't said you had Secret Swede Reasons (and I highly doubt you're bs-ing).
