Hello everyone, I have a new video of my upcoming iPad space game “The Core”.
This one is all about planet surface exploration.
With this mode in place I’ve finally finished my universe, you can go from exploring the stars, zoom into the solar system level, then when you’ve found a planet with something interesting on it you can beam a hologram drone down to the planet and walk around and retrieve items… and its all procedural! So the universe is seriously massive 
Towards the end of the video I show a little behind the scenes view on my laptop demonstrating the terrain culling and vertex coloring.

Thanks for watching guys, I got some great feedback last time and I really appreciate that, I’m hoping for the same again! 
“No words to describe … they should have sent a poet”
Hehehe, that looks really, REALLY awesome, procedural stuff always rocks Aside from being awesome, whats the point of the game?
I really like your game (more of a tech demo at this point?) This is something I would pay for in a heartbeat.
Awesome game, it reminds me a lot of Spore (down to the navigation between stars, and shop interfaces), and I love the idea of a tiling terrain to simulate the planets. A galaxy on your iPad, no less!
Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the comments guys, as for the question about the point of the game, let me try to elaborate a little bit for you…
The core is in the same genre of game as elite or spore (space stage) where you have an open world experience in a massive galaxy where you can visit planets, make money from trading, fight pirates, do missions for human and alien races around the galaxy, gain alliances and make enemies. Alongside the expected mining/trading/exploring/combat game plays, there will be a set of story arc missions to complete and will compliment the sandbox style gameplay!
I have been trying to wrap my head around a way to create a multiplayer seemless planet. Meaning i can start in outerspace and fly down to the planet surface and get out and run around all without a “loading” screen or a loading pause or anything. Not only that but several players doing that on the same planet. That is what I am currently working on for my tech demo… at this point I am not calling what I am working on a “game” because I have no purpose for it yet other than the fact that I saw someone else do it and I want to do it too. Here is a link to the guy I saw doing what I am talking about… He programed his own engine from scratch to specifically do just this so it will be hard to do what he did in Unity but hey, its worth a try I think.

Very, very impressive!
@zergcow : WOW… that video is ridiculous! That guy must have developed a seriously robust streaming system to be getting all that going.
@jkreijkamp : thanks very much, means a lot coming from you 
I learnt my first Unity foundations from your JCar source back in the day so thanks for that, also your game revolt looks ludicrously good, think it’ll definitely be a success.
Thanks to everyone else who commented!
