The character locomotion still looks kinda floaty but I'm sure it's partly a symptom of being so zoomed in. Looks better in the more recent gif than the first anyway - he's just really jerky, almost fast-forward. Looks great when stopping and clambering on the gib junk for sure.
That friction based particle stuff looks sweet, especially with the bigass rock.
Would be interested to see a day time rocket launch with that dust stuff. Big billowing smoke clouds is something I got working in CC mods - with about 15 fps. would be a nice stress test of Miro's particle stuff that's a little more gameplay relevant than the floating "test" particle systems!

When reading your inspiration I've a hard time figuring out how all that will fit together. I'd like to see a more thorough explanation of the general gameplay aesthetic. One thought that comes to mind is Giants: Citizen Kabuto though. What with exploration together with a fixed base you can invest in. Looking forward to try it out. I've many fond memories of CC (an interesting albeit flawed gem imo). So I've faith that PP will be worth playing. Especially since I'll be able to wiggle about with your physics and Arne-art. Oh, and I like the idea of old timers in space. Did that for a small space exploration project myself a couple of years ago. I can recommend getting inspiration from Time Masters (1982), Silbad from the film is a crazy and charming old space adventurer.  |

Thanks for the nice feedback, guys Geti: Big, billowing dust is no problem with GPU rendering  Greipur, that Time Masters movie is blowing my minddd.. can't believe i wasn't aware of it before! PM me if you want a recent build to play with. We are getting a LOT of progress done on the scene building workflow:  Will help tremendously to build and prototype various challenges/puzzles/areas and then easily putting them together into the final scene (which are now up to 1km x 1km.. but can be made 4x that size if necessary) |

Looks very cool! I'm surprised there is no mention of Blaster Master yet. The tank is very evocative.

The old design doc on Arne's page is explicitly about blaster master, but mentions that it's kind of merged into metroidcitebionictribes. |

Oh yeah - blaster master is such a fundamental influence to this that i sometimes forget to mention it! Anyway: PLANETOIDS ARE HAPPENING:  The grid is 1x1 km, and the circular world (with appropriate COG in center) is a quite a good use of the space. Need to make rotating camera, trickery for revolving starry background, and properly flexible control schemes for the Pioneer to handle a rotating gravity acceleration vector and also in microgravity (when you get really deep into the planetoid's innards, or get stuck in orbit by traveling at escape velocity and taking that rover off a sweet jump) |

Plausible to have some smaller planetoids with satellites as well, or is level geometry pretty static?
How are you planning on filling in the terrain gaps? or are you just going to leave that space black?

Terrain is completely static, yeah. Still can have geostationary satellites with their own (exaggerated) gravity fields though.
We have a special solution already implemented for the inbetween of rocks; works alongside the lighting model... will post more about that soon

Round and round and round. This is so much better and less problematic than the scene wrapping i foolishly did in CC:  |

The parallax within the planet centre is rather disorienting when the planet is zoomed out...
Otherwise this is incredible so far, a really good planetoids-based game should be awesome :D

Based Arne art + dat Data physics + big smooth gifs leaves me quivering.
The physics engine development is only directed by me this time around; credit for actual implementation work goes to Miro, our lead engineer. He is about 10x better and faster programmer than I ever will be - D |
