C2C - ORION'S ARM / Encyclopedia Galactica Discussion

Did anything ever come of this? As a fan of both Caveman 2 Cosmos and Orion's Arm, I'm greatly interested.

(I hope you don't mind me bumping this old thread, I figured that since my question was a direct response to this it was appropriate)
 
you can pretty much ignore any of mrazure's grand plans, just fantasies really.

still stuff to be inspired by in there though i guess.

Yeah, i keep trying to contact him, and he even said at one point he was back but that was for like only an hour, and his companions are even worst, they PROMISED alsot of stuff and were just like a fly by night company, they came they saw they went.:mad:
 
You could send a new message to Orion's Arm.

I thought there was some legal aspects of using Orion's Arm we weren't happy about.

Correct, you have to sign a "contract" with them, and I refused not to.
 
Honestly regarding this sort of material, I'm pretty sure we can find whatever information and quotes and such in sci-fi novels from the 50's onward. As long as we give proper credit to the book and author wherever we use an actual quote from a book, there shouldn't be any issue as long as no-one is making any money off of this project. I would love to see the later 'punk' cultures get filled out.

We would too. The guy who we had working the alternative timeline stuff faded off so we could use some help there from... someone...
 
Well... yeah, I'm not trying to say you guys didn't contribute the vast majority there but the guy who pushed for those alt timelines and had a lot to do with shaping them and took a few steps into learning to mod decided that it was too much work to be fun. It kinda left a void since he had a lot of good ideas there.

Are you thinking of steampunk1880?
 
@Thunderbrd & ls612

While steampunk1880 did post a lot of stuff it was me who converted his ideas into real game buildings. Much of his stuff was incomplete or just would not work. Same goes for the units. In which I had to either find or make graphics for the units in which I then asked ls612 to apply the graphic and give those units stats in game.

I am not saying steampunk1880 did not contribute but most of the ideas either I created or I helped make possible. And none of the units would have been possible with out ls612. Except for the Clockpunk Golem which DH put in but then we ended up tweaking later.

Note that steampunk1880 did try to make a building, but then disappeared after the first one.

EDIT: Here is a break down ...

Clockpunk

Buildings
- Automation Clock - Idea from SP and Implementation by Hydro
- Orchestrion Theater - Idea from SP and Implementation by Hydro
- Step Reckoner Manufactory - Idea from SP, Implementation by SP and Tweaked by Hydro
- Clockwork Workshop - Idea from Hydro and Implementation by Hydro

Units
- Clockwork Golem - Idea from C2C Team, Implementation by DH, Tweaked by ls612 / Hydro and model made by seZereth (Fall from Heaven II mod)
- Da Vinci Tank - Idea from Hydro, Implementation by ls612 and model made by Hydro
- Ornithopter - Idea from Hydro, Implementation by ls612 and model made by Hydro
- Repeating Crossbowman - Idea from Thunderbrd, Implementation by ls612, model made by Bakuel (The History of Three Kingdoms mod) and button/icon by Hydro

You get the idea. I don't feel like looking up the rest of the eras.
 
Sorry to insinuate any minimization of either of your efforts guys. I guess since steampunk (yes, that's the one) had initiated all those forum pages where the development was taking place and without him around we seem to have let those projects stay put (all of which was taking place just before my return and I've only ever scanned those documents really) it had appeared to me that the thrust to flesh out all the punk stuff fell a bit flat. That led me to the presumption he had more of a role in it than apparently he did.

When I mean we need some help there, I think we need more suggestions at the moment, especially to at least provide a token 'something to be gained' to the alt timelines that don't currently have anything but the culture to gain from.
 
Hrm... Looking at the OA encyclopedia, they have some nice ideas, but techs are rather generic and at parts, too specific. Most are unusable and what is we already have implemented one way or another.
