Title: Space-Engineers
Post by: ThryllSeekyr on 19 July, 2014, 10:42:13 AM
This was the third video I made and it's unfortunately not as good as the first one. (Which was lost when I accidently deleted everything on my larger hard-drive. Not to be confused with the second time I lost the second lot of videos I made when my hard-drive mysteriously vanished taking them with it!)  While the second one was which I found too embarrassing to upload and share.

The first video looked more epic than this one and didn't have the astro-engineer wearing that annoying yellow colour. It's  rendering (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendering_(computer_graphics)) is very impressive though!

Here it is.....

Space-Engineers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDTr5ErQxaY&index=7&list=UUelkSh-JYeT1ng51wzT4nuA)

IN this one I do the same thing I did in the lost video.....explore the red and blue ships and a few asteroids that were hollowed out and were filled with very natural looking tunnels and caverns.

These were truly amazing.....right down to the advanced look of their 3D rendering. I dare say, I found the detail here a tad more impressive than the asteroids in Elite-Dangerous!

It seems bigger inside when  spelunking (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caving) their interior. (Once again, the one in the first video was more magnificent!)

Like Dr-Who's -TARDIS.

Just imagine a Time-Lord with his own TARDIS assuming the shape of a much smaller version of one of these asteroids and it's insides a asteroid as well. Instead of the console...it's just a asteroid..... :D

I didn't do much here except explore space after I sussed out how to use the jet-pack properly in the previous video. (Which I deleted.) The cold loneliness of space mirrors my own existence. (Yet, it's less protracted!)  I still have to figure out how to build stuff as the title of the game implies. Daring to compare this with what I have seen in Elite-Dangerous. Admittedly, it's a less colourfully grey, but there is this greater feeling of depth with this almost 3D  parallax (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax) effect. It looks very dynamic.

The attack of the firey meteors never occured in the first video. I think that one of the definable parameters found in the game-options menu. But I don't think that's really  possible (http://www.daviddarling.info/childrens_encyclopedia/comets_Chapter2.html) in the cold vacuum of space. So, I guess it may not be educational physics based game I expected.

Though, I wonder if successful mastery of this game bestows upon me the official tile of Engineer that some of my former flat-mates used to boost and go on and on and on about :lol:
