Congratulations to everyone and thank you for being part of this awesome community! See you at next week's drawing!

Please notice that drawing winners are drawn on Wednesday - that's why there are so few in Week 14 (which ended last Wednesday).

If you're wondering what types of drawing exist and how to participate, check out this explanatory thread.

Please note: the leaderboard is updated once per day. If you've won a drawing and want to trigger the update immediately, you have to open your own foundation page first

So the procedural map generation in the gameplay video looked pretty clean, but I would like to ask if every sector/section/biome of the map will be seperated by a river with a bridge to every other biome or will it at some point be more blended in where, for example: you're in a mountain biome and while roaming in one direction you start seeing less rocks and more grass, pretty soon you're in a grassland biome or something instead of seeing a somewhat unnatural river and knowning theres a new biome behind it.

What you are suggesting is actually how usually things work - biomes blend gradually without any "hard" boundary. You can see that in the video when we move from the Mountain Forest to the Goblin Territory!

@oobenonioo i'm assuming for the pre-alpha it's just a quick generation. what i'm wondering is if the procedural generation will only be used once or if the planets will change over time.

Aside from major events, maps won't change over time. The passing of time and seasons can be seen in vegetation, animals, decaying of buildings, and so on. That being said, the Asteroids system will be a constant source of new maps and procedural generation will be very useful there

Our aim is to have one single large server, hosted in NA. If latency is an issue for EU users, we can start an EU server too any time. As for Asia / Oceania, that's not an option SpatialOS gives for now, but you never know...

@Prometheus Pretty impressed by how good the game looks even in pre alpha state. Is there a twitch link somewhere floating around for fractured?

Will be delivered when we announce the exact time of the first Q&A

@logain said in First Fractured Gameplay Video Released!:

Can you 'define' friendly fire? Normally, the term would indicate that if a third person gets in the line of fire between you and the target, the ray/projectile/hit no longer hits the target, but that third person. How could you do that in a game with free targeting (you can freeze a river, so you need to be able to aim at said river...), while keeping your 'only consensual PvP - mantra'? If I can aim anywhere and deal damage to anything in that line (friendly fire), I could easily kill a Beastman as Beastman?

It means exactly that, but as I've said, you can avoid it by grouping with your friends. If you have a Good alignment, you also can't hurt other players with Good / Neutral alignment - this includes friendly fire. Since Beastmen are Good, they can't hurt each other. It was mentioned in this spotlight :slight_smile:

@Zefireq @Eletze animations and the UI are really temporary, as I've mentioned elsewhere. They will be both remade from scratch :slight_smile: There will be a minimap, too. Same goes for several particle effects. Don't focus too much on the graphics department, it's a pre-alpha!

@jetah said in Streaming Pre Alpha?:

Having watched Crowfall backers provide feedback, suggestions, rants, etc, it seems to me having limited game time is better for a developing game than 24/7 access.

Indeed, that is why we will run several time-limited testing phases (A1, A2... B1, B2...) until Full Release :slight_smile:

@lucassilva said in the kickstarter project link:

if i make a donation on the project of kickstarter i Will receive the game ?

Yes, access to Full Release / Beta / Alpha will of course be included in Kickstarter rewards! For Pre-Alpha access, have a look here :slight_smile:

@specter said in Fractured Forums Mobile:

@rainstorm26 @Finland Don't get too excited. Most of the time it's just bug fixes and maybe a few small changes. Don't expect a complete forum overhaul.

Indeed - just bug fixes, security updates and improvements to the chat system :slight_smile:
