@grizzlypk I think thats one of the main reasons Dynamight don't want to go for an Early Access to Steam, and i fully agree with them, since i see it as you said, a Platform like Steam is a big gamble.
And i am quite sure, the whole Dynamight crew don't like gambling

@Kralith said in The Myr Trivia - Results & Winners:
@Prometheus you asked about questions, what will be the limit for a chunk (512x512) to place surface stuff?
I'm afraid I don't understand the question Are you asking what's the maximum number of items in a 512x512 tile?
It is just my bad english 
Yes, maximum items per 512x512 tile.
I guess it is a limit of meshes, but in this case the counting will be hard. But maybe it is just a fixed item limit.
You will know it
@Prometheus you asked about questions, what will be the limit for a chunk (512x512) to place surface stuff?
@Pwnstar can‘t wait to do first steps at Myr 
@TheBlank i suggest you to read all the News from the beginning, especially the spotligths, then read a bit around in the forum, there are tons of thoughts about the game, the studio and its vision.
And then form yourself an own picture about the game and tell us about.
We are not even in Alpha, so we can‘t tell you, how the game will be, we just can tell about how we like the vision and see its progress, and we did, many many times
Oh i was way too high with my first both guesses
Congratulation to the Winner!
Nice to see these values, i can‘t wait to play it
Totally bad at guesses, because i have absolutely no clue how the limits are that we talk about
Resource nodes: 5.700.000
Decorative elements: 10.000.000
Monsters spawners: 11.250
Hours to procedurally generate the continent: 3,75
@Allie If we will get an API, then such services are possible.
But if i remember right, it wasn't planned to have an API.
But who knows, maybe we will get such, but i don't expect it before Beta.
@Lightspoon i don‘t think steam is a really good idea, at least not for an unfinished game. Yes, they attract much people.... for how long? I don‘t think Fractured is something that needs crickets all around.
@Mrchipps i can understand your curiosity about the biomes and their placing in world.
Maybe a bit from earlier Videos.
But for now we don't even know much about how the world will be designed in its whole.
For that we have to wait, till we do the first steps at Myr.
But the idea about such a thread is a good one.
I am sure, we will much discuss about such things while Alpha.
@Althalus
I think they plan much more biomes later, since they will have to form 3 whole Planets.
We will surely see some very nice biomes then.
To have hopefully expectations is quite okay, but it has to fit into the world of Fractured.
There are 2 more inviting waves coming.
One in middle of February and one a few weeks later.
If you are in, you get an email short before the date.
Not to mention, that is not an Alpha.
The Alpha is not started yet.
It is a Pre Alpha where the game core is to test by participants, to make the game ready for an open Alpha.
Access to the Alpha you can get, if you buy for Alpha 1 at least the Knight Pledge/Supporter Pack and for Alpha 2 at least the Patron.
Not just this, reading the FAQ (one of the foundation quests) will give you this answer too.
Or by Specthor
@Jetah said in Discuss how to get more people engaged:
how do you get more new players involved when the game is in testing? If the game enters an open beta state then we'll be playing instead of chatting on the forums.
I hope we will continue writing interesting things in forum. Because just a living Forum brings the feedback a studio needs.
@Rofus https://twitter.com/kralith
But my channel is relativly new and it is not much to see.
@grizzlypk i think with start of Alpha 1 we will have much footages to show.
But you still can help to advertise the game at your channels you use.
Sideeffect, you will make probably some extra Foundation points to get some more Levels.
@Pwnstar said in Unity has blocked SpatialOS - What's up and what it means for us:
Improbably certainly quickly made hay out of it, with that new $25 million fund for switching to Unreal.
Well, that money was not meant to be for Improbable, it is a Fund for Developer.
And this Money will not be a gift, it will be just a credit.
Improbable made something else with this action, but not many want to see that.
Whatever their business plans tell them, but the case was leading to a more clear Rule and the hope, that all these nice platforms can stay open and continue their business that helps much people to let visions come true.
Also it was the right step to get the statement by Unity to make it clear in their new TOS that they want to stay open in kinds of use of their Engine.
Conversely it had a strong direction into a closed system, to use it just with their own platforms and authorized Partners.
Good that they decided for being open.
Even they had this small sound behind written words, like a small kid in the sandbox "Okay, you can take the bucket, but since we are no partners, you can't use my shovels!"
@chrightt said in State Of The Game #2 – On 2018, Alpha 1 & Unity:
must've felt good when you found out the Unity Fiasco was a big scare!
But we could have renounced it all.
On the other hand, it was an important step for the gaming industry to solve that on their level.
And we never can be sure, it not can happen again.
Gaming Industry is the same black business as others are.
@Gothix these are from the new wonderland, the new unknown territory thats called Internet.
@kermadecc I know that some will like to share their social media contacts.
But i don't see the benefit to connect me with different random people.
I have this forum and their official Discord server, where i can find all the time people who are like-minded.
I won't add random people to my contact lists, whereever they are.
I wish you much luck to find other like-minded people to play with and to stick at.
We are gamers, so i think it is not that hard to find friends here
@Gothix said in Hi all. For those of you, early backers, how has the progress and pacing of the game dev has been so far in your opinion?:
....STICKS TO THE INITIAL VISION...
That is it!
That's all the guys need to do and always have to think about it.
And it is the reason we did it, because we saw, they have a very straight view to it.
