Interesting. That's how I'm seeing it too but I didn't know about that dialogue. Does that suggest the following galaxies are unique to you or perhaps that you can change the next galaxy for everyone? I just want to get my hands on this game because right now I can't stop watching people playing it.
Well this is the spoiler thread:
...snip...
It looks like you have options, and maybe the next galaxy can be created without your hand making any changes. If that happens, I imagine that everyone who chooses that option would have the same next seed.
This is all pretty cool, and I don't regret seeing that since it goes to show how reaching the end/center of one galaxy might only be the beginning, but I still feel it takes away from the
community aspect of it all... especially if there is opportunity to generate unique galaxies... then discovering something will serve no perpose at all, IMO.
It should be like this:
- we should all be exploring the same galaxy (sounds like one would be far more than enough)
- we should be able to see what regions have and have not been explored, and what %
- we should be able to view the online database of discoveries, even rate discoveries of other people
It's a damn shame the game isn't structured this way at all...
There are entire community websites already created, long ahead of release, in anticipation of sharing our discoveries with each other. Are those sites even valid given how the game has turned out? Actually, maybe more so since there may be ZERO feedback about other people's discoveries in the actual game itself.
