Any progress on exploration gameplay?
TL;DRTodd thinks exploration gameplay is possible and starts with scanning, but nothing is in yet from a tech standpoint and a full team is needed, while Jared says more universe is needed first.
I think we need more of the universe to explore before we get gameplay.
Yes and no. Meaning I truly think that we could do exploration gameplay in finding things right now. And obviously, yes, we need to have a bigger playfield. But even now, our playfield is bigger than any other game. First things first is scanning and getting the ping, getting the short-range scanning, and then from there talking about how we're going to do long-range scanning, and then even with our probability cubes being able to sit down and say, okay, if I'm here and I want to scan this way, I open up my lens and I'm looking that way. What are different things in the probability cubes that are in front of me that will show up? And so those are discussions that Tony and I have had, but there's nothing from a tech standpoint that we've been able to put in yet. But we need a full team to do that and to realize that. But that one to me is kind of like resource gathering as well as transit or transportation, meaning freight, people or data. Those to me are very basic careers that I feel that we need in the game.
