Reapers!
Welcome to the new experimental Voxel Terrain Build - A new experimental build showing off the start of our journey into exploring voxel terrain. However, for testing purpose, any changes will be revert any modifications after a few seconds.

This would function as a solution for our need to modify terrain in order for our base building systems to function. Additionally this may open the door to procedural cave systems.

Please hop in and check it out. Let us know how it performs.

DISCLAIMER:
Currently the assault rifle and plasma cannon can blast holes in the ground. That is simply there to test the system. The actual implementation of this system will likely be more refined and limited. For now we are just full out to let people play with it and tell us what wild ideas you have.

I can see the good intentions in the idea, but I'm aware of the harm such things can do. The filter bubble effect is a real thing and is one of the main roots to the rise of many extremist views over the past 5 to 10 years as both 24 hour news channels and social media makes bubbles around their users to keep them coming back for more. This filters over time warps people sense of reality but changing their ideas of what "normal" is because the filters pick and choice what they can see and hear, as well as paint their idea of right and wrong without anything to challenge or question it. And going by what filters are used can tell you a lot about the person or people who made them. Again I can see the good intentions in the idea. I just don't think it'll work out in the way that you want it because of how humans are and history.

In the hops of keeping this post short I'll say that my main concerns can be summed up with these to videos.

This isn't the place to have a whole conversation about echo chambers, algorithms, and the impact on society. All I will say is-
If we are going to factor in what people might do with this choice based on human history, I would argue that not having these choices, in this particular game, is just as prone to certain potential issues based on human history.

At any rate the filters will be there. here is hoping it will turn out to be a positive thing for most folks. Only time will tell us for sure.

Armor for private jewels it is essential!!!

hmmm perhaps there should be, perhaps not. It's worth examining at the very least.
I will make sure this idea get's floated to the devs.

Plus I don't like the idea of there being filters on people to make them look "normal" because who defines what is "normal"? Because there are some people are sizeist and discount anyone who they feel is too large and/or too small deeming them as unnatural despite that is how their body naturally grew. So I don't think there needs to be a filter on how people look unless players are making body shapes that break the laws of physics.

That's just it. The whole point of our various visual filters is because each person has their own preferences of what is appropriate and/or preferred to have on their screen. We are not interest in anyone's judgment of other folks preferences nor do we have any intent to force other people to see our more extreme visual choices. Instead we are focused on providing options so that different people can enjoy the game their own way.

This is a good thing isn't it?

Hi!
Good Morning!

I would like to say that the Male and Female Model were very good, congratulations to Crixa, but there is a problem, they are very Pornographic.

I didn't know the Crixa was promoting Visual Pornography.

If I'm not mistaken, there in the United States there is a Rights Commission that prohibits Visual Pornography in public games with the presence of Teenagers.

I have noticed that there is no difference between the Naked Body and the Clothing of the two Models.

Will this idea change or will it continue to be developed?


Thank you for your attention

While peoples opinions may vary on what is or isn't too "sexual", pornography's does, in fact, have more specific legal definitions. The characters we show do not cross the specific lines that would require us to change the game or websites rating to adult only content.

There will be a great variety of suits that the player can wear. Some will be very much on the sexy side, some will not. Hopefully you find some that suit your tastes. Thank you.
