General & Off-Topic / xcom ufo defense interceptor dwarf fortress homeworld planetary annihilation
« on: October 11, 2016, 03:29:56 AM »
I had a great time the other day daydreaming about how great it would be to somehow take everything i enjoy about a whole bunch games and have it all in the one.
procedural planet generation
Bases on the planets surface like in original xcom
Procedural miniature galaxies from xcom interceptor
space stations built above your higher tier planets
expand and conquer style universe macro play like sins but broader
play/pause RTS style engagements on the ground and in space (and simultaneous?? if you could keep the game size down and limit the amount of interaction. simultaneous probably wouldn't work but the idea of it is amazing... imagine defending a space station while attacking a mining platform while infiltrating 2 enemy hives while escorting your next colony ship... kind of like sins meets dwarf fortress meets elite if the map size gets too big it would surley have to stick to smaller tactical engagements)
graphics in cogmind have totally captured me so i have to steal your style here
sounds and interface i imagine as being some kind of holy mashup of my favorite supreme commander mods and cogmind
would need to add some sort of rescource generation to go along with the government funding idea though... unless we stick to the way interceptor handled it and brought incomes with expansion and influence.
i did actually flesh this out a lot more in my head but it would take a while to write down. you get the idea!
we could call it ascii homeworld... original thought at work right there!

Ideas / Graphics settings - Borderless window
« on: October 10, 2016, 10:12:53 PM »
coming from one of the people who has discovered how fantastic it is to use remote desktop applications to a dedicated server computer for your VM's and some games... please can we have a borderless window option.
this feature prevents the remote desktop application from detecting a change in screen resolution when you tab to another program.
particularly useful for users of chrome remote desktop software as this program puts a popup right in front of you when a screen change is detected and when you move it out of the way in fullscreen applications it tabs out, then when you go back to the game it detects the change and puts the popup back essentially preventing the programs use.
also makes life much easier for people with laptops that have odd resolutions and regularly tab out to web browsers and wikis
Ordinarily i would circumvent this issue by using software that changes always on top flags and forced window position but in the case of cogmind for some reason it always sits under the windows taskbar when i force the window position to create fake fullscreen and i dont normally fancy disabling the taskbar in case i have difficulties turning it back on!
personally, i get around it at the moment by simply using a different RDP software but teamviewer is too slow and RealVNC (which i have at the moment but it expires very soon) requires payment to enable encryption so options are limited.
just for some context... i'm using this to play on my android tablet using my dedicated server computer at home.
I will experiment with the built in windows RDP in the mean time but a borderless window option make the issue go away xD
