Miner Wars is a 6DOF underground and space shooter played in a fully destructible environment and is a combination of single player story game and MMO.
I'm iffy on the MMO format of it. Sounds interesting, though. What do you think?

As a player, you operate an advanced mining ship in an open world asteroid belt area. You dig kilometers of tunnels, harvest the ore, travel the solar system, fight your enemies and discover deep secrets.

The only times I've ever seen any site display positive comments by random people in quotes are when the people who maintain the site sux.
Then he said something about "state of the art rendering technology" and I think I pissed myself.
Thanks, but no thanks.
You sound like you have an opinion but don't know why.
My opinion is that this game is one of the other hundred thousand "MMO"s created by either some corporate douchebag with no experience and lots of money, or a bunch of indie kids who think they know what they're doing. My opinion continues to state that this game looks horrible, and in fact, more boring than World of Warcraft to me. The advertisement (youtube video you posted) alone makes me cringe and want to stab kittens. I fear for all other small mammalian creatures if I actually had to play the game itself.
The fact that they claim it has 'state of the art rendering', would imply to me (and anyone else with half a brain cell), graphics on the level of this:
slightly off topic of miner warz! but supports my argument
And this isn't even Unreal Engine 4, which is scheduled for release between 2012 and 2018, which I consider, state of the art rendering.
The graphics could be considered "state of the art" in terms of the simple set of things it's meant to do. I don't see how that doesn't apply. Though I also don't see how it's supposed to be any kind of priority for the game, either.
I think just the idea of combining the voxel terrain concept over a vast area in 3d space in an MMO setting (which must definitely be a feat of coding for any indie developer) sounds interesting in its own right. Let alone the added Descent and Eve Online-genre gameplay allusions.
If that was the trailer, then it was absolutely dreadful. If it was some bullshit video trying to show off different aspects of the game (like a developer's video or something), then it was still dreadful.
tbh it kinda looks like a mix between every space fighter game in existence and that game that you all played in which to go to different planets and mine their shit and stuff.
Symmetry shouted: Another map maker? Damn we really ARE back
I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

Mr.BurnLiquid shouted: Ultraviolet Thanks; I'm new to the site and a Spanish speaker. I must have missed the part where it was prohibited—I'll change it now.
I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
