fixedHi all, we have managed to reduce game size down to 11 Gb (with compression) instead than 40 Gb because it's really difficult for new users to download 40 gb of datas and we have no physical copy available We have also implemented an initial dialogue and quest system but it's still work in progress, we are now filling missions and dialogue databases and this process will take a while. Character movement have been checked and fixed but we are going to change it completely on december 1st. Maps: We had to remove Venus, Titan and Io for two reasons: The map components were too big (performance issues) and also the whole maps took a lot of hd space. But we will remake smaller maps for these two planets and we will leave a large open world map only for Mars, The Moon and Pluto. All other bodies will have a medium size map. This is also because the digital terrain datas are consistent and extended only for Mars, Moon and Pluto, for all other bodies we don't have much datas to handle a realistic open world map with good details. So a medium size lanscape will be better where real terrain datas are few or cover a small area. Now Live: Download size is basically the whole game so, for this time will be12 Gb But this will also be the size on disc. (instead of 40 GB)
