Can you explain how work on the Galactapedia is progressing? What is the look and feel of the system that is being designed and will we access this both in game or from the website?asked by Daz
TL;DRThey plan to release a bare-bones Galactapedia very soon, built around the Starmap with clickable definitions, search and a glossary, accessible in the Starmap and on the website, with some design still subject to change.
The answer to that is everything is spiralling outwards towards the Starmap. The Starmap is basically the cornerstone of the Galactapedia and we are planning on releasing the first bare bones version of the Galactapedia very soon actually. We've been in meetings with Turbulent, they have made wonderful mock ups of how they want the Galactapedia to look.What we're going to do is first, define all the in-lore terms we have used in the Starmap. You'll be able to click on those terms and you'll get a definition or a bare bones encyclopedia entry that's meant to be a foundational text that will be built up as we're able to populate each page to the extent we are satisfied with. You'll be able to access this both in Starmap and from a UI that's not the Starmap, like from our website.There will be a search tool you can use, there will be a glossary you can click and you can see all the terms we have.
That's so amazing.
It's wonderful, I'm very, very excited to be able to give you this news and be able to share the mock ups that Turbulent has given us. Some of the design is still subject to change, we are very close to being able to release something that is accessible to you and that we can take care of.
There's just so much data and so much lore and to have a way to easily access it all, in a way that is organized by the time that it all takes place, is just super exciting.
Yeah, I'm very excited to be able to do this and to be able to share this news with you.
I'm sure you all, also love this. Thank you for sharing that, that is wonderful news, I love that.
