Comments - scratch

I was around when you guys were working on Infinity about 10 years ago (exciting times!) but kinda lost track of what's going on when it was clear that the Quest for Earth would stay a dream.

Still, i've been watching "that new game" a while now but so far iirc just deemed it an expensive space shooter, and after reading all! of this it seems like you still have a very, very long way to go here. That's why i can't help but think that the price still does not mirror the game's state which alot of reviews on Steam also argue, and i feel like this is a wasted opportunity, unfortunately.

I admit i see the potential though, so i wish you good luck with the future development and hope that i (and loads of others) can play this at some point. Engage!

Don't worry, didn't mean to make your preset bad. For most reshade users the presets serve as "ideas" that can be modified in realtime to adjust to your needs anyway. I guess that's the beauty of Reshade, it allows us to explore more aspects of graphics individually.
In regards to the inventory texture, i didn't install any other mods, if that's what you mean. It's vanilla Anomaly 1.5.0 B3.

I really like this one, but i reduced the increased blue effect of the ColorMatrix, was a tad too bluish. Also added a sharpening filter and i find it quite decent. Thanks.

While it looks nice here and there, this preset is a bit too dark and the filmicpass results in exaggerated colors (fire appearing deep red for example). Luckily the gamma value can be adjusted easily, but overall the colors don't satisfy me, even if it looks awesome in the right situation. Also, all your additional inventory texture cause this here:

Download speed is gruesome. There is a torrent though, made by jmcosta (look in the comments)! Download and seed if possible.

I wonder, are you planning to make the UI resizable? I've only discovered your game a week or two ago (shame on me) and watched a couple of let's play's where it's quite obvious the UI could use that feature. This is the reason i didn't buy it right away, apart from waiting for Imperium ;)

Also, are you planning to release Imperium on DRM-free sites like GoG? Looks like i'm going to get it either way though, so, when? :)

I don't really know what to say about these cars since i never played GTAV. Glad i watched it though, because i really like the first track in the video. Can you please tell me the title?

Oh, wow, didn't see that coming. Great job Raptor! Maybe i should dig up the last map i was working on? It all kinda went quiet for quite a while. Good to see the news!

How can i get the noprefetch command to work? Does the Stalker-CoC.exe pass that command to the game or do i need to go about this differently?

So i guess the mod's visual fidelity will bring pc's down to their knees again?

I guess we can only hope Skyrim will get DX12 support.. ;)

I wonder if the NPC's can appreciate the beauty of their home...

Love it! A small suggestion for the menues: Decrease the brightness of the background graphic to increase focus on the menu itself.
And.. release date? :)

Are you guys planning to release a demo of some sort?

Great news Raptor, looking forward to try the updated release! Is SF still onboard with his awesome maps?

That looks pretty. Though i have the distinct feeling of looking at fish moving in water since speed appears to bleed off so fast. Anyway, awesome, tracked!

Oh, this project slipped my attention for quite a while i guess. I really like the way your "drones" are built, and i'm always for mass destruction :). I wonder though, how do you explore the universe to know where planets are that you might want to take a peek at? Can you fly through space the same way you move on planets or do you send scouts to uncover a map like in 4X games?

Anyway, nice work, tracked!

Yay, update, awesome! :)

Regarding continuous research i think it can't hurt to have unlimited levels with diminishing returns that might also need more and more points. Maybe you will be able to excel at that particular field with lots of levels researched, but this will come at the price of neglecting other research projects (which could also happen on purpose depending on the player's situation, so it also opens up more opportunities). I understand that this might be hard to balance, but it might be worth it. I think the game "Space Empires" is using a system like this, too.

UI: I think you could still reduce the width of ui borders a bit to make it look more sleek, and maybe try a somewhat cleaner, sharper looking font? The current one looks like it's been affected by antialiasing quite a bit.

Looking forward for more news, hopefully more regularly ;)

Maybe he should noclip them for extra fun :D

No news for three months, what's going on? Hope it's just crunch time? ;)

Awesome concept, i think it perfectly resembles the atmosphere you're going for in the game (although i'm not sure what to expect in the end). Also love the screenshots - would make beautiful wallpapers in full size... *hint* ;)

Someone loves color correction! Isn't it a tad too much?

Well honestly, i don't like this rounded layout of the interface that wraps around its content with thick borders like a casing of protecting rubber. And also a practical reason: It needs alot of space that goes to waste. It's not that it doesn't have its charme, it just appears very impractical to me in contrast to the style of the other game elements.

Maybe smaller circles at the edges and less accentuated borders would help?

Fantastic progress, what kept you so long? :)
And btw, i know you want to make the game's contents moddable, but will we also be able to change the interface?

Lovely work as always, thanks for the update, been wondering for a while what's going on :)
Love the new effects, though i wonder if all this eye candy will, even though looking minimalistic, have its impact on the framerate in larger battles? Can you tell us something about the performace?

And now, please take a look at this crystal ball i have here *show* and tell me when you're going to release the game. Please? :)

I always love watching multiple missiles (especially swarm missiles in various games) head towards the enemy, so I would definately favor missile trails as long as they don't influence performance too much. Or maybe add trails to bigger guns only?

Either way, great work!

The more i see of your game the more i know you're totally nailing the style. Absolutely love the design, and i hope the gameplay will be as intriguing as well!

Wish i had the brain to paint like this. But then again, i don't know if i'd even have the patience. Nice work!

Nice work. As a fan of The Dark Project, i was wondering if i can play this without having to buy D3?
