Unrelated to our game per-se, but nonetheless a beautiful rendering of the possibilities of exploration of our solar system:

(Real-time, open-world vistas of that caliber have always been my goal, but obviously there are a lot of technical and developmental tradeoffs in getting there).

I think this belongs in off-topic...

:P

Awesome. It's pretty cool to see art and culture develop in tandem with technological innovation.

+1 to soace elevators that we can take down to planets...optimize one of the open source shooters and strap it on top of the current game and there ya go...just opened the door to a whole new market and FPS are not umcommon on android devices nowadays.

Butterfly wings huh? That might work if the gravity is weak enough and atmosphere thick enough. Neat :)

I really liked it.

ARF: Sure, or if the repetitions are fast enough. Electric powered wings could work.
