- Throughout his career, David Braben has been exploring what is possible to achieve with computer technology. From developments in gaming theory to best practice in teaching computer science to children, David has always been at the fore.
In this TEDx talk, British video game legend David Braben describes how algorithms can create entire worlds and why rules can be beautiful.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Actual footage from before Braben became a Thargoid.
The Thargoids are all female... didn't know he went under the knife.
i really do love listening to Braben talk on and on about things like this :D
Its amazing how much detail you can input to procedural generation, David spoke of viscosity of the atmosphere, clouds forming off mountain ranges etc.. but there is so much more he is doing with it at the moment especially with the landing on planets part of the game he's currently working on. His work is awesome & should be heralded for the technical and beautiful creations that he and his team are working on. I tip my hat to you David & all at Frontier Developments.
vwomp
8yrs later and his game is finally getting the basics other games have had for 20yrs.
NO MANS SKYBROUGHT ME HERE!
"Bad procedural generation is art that hasn't felt the love of an artist"
Sounds like like his Elite Dangerous: Odyssey expansion...
I'm watchng this before *Starfield* comes out later this year! Hopefully Bethesda implements this well! 🤞
Nice one, so he went with my script I write him lolz
and the USLE screenshot
Surely the stuff covered towards the end (7:30) is destined for Elite Dangerous?
6:02 - Laughs in Stellar Forge.
Actually the real Universe is procedurally generated which is why we see fractal patterns in everything and why maths can be used to predict natural events, thus if we ever back engineer and simplify to a unifying theory we will have found the seed for the Universe.
Of course that doesn't solve the issue of who or what seeded it - if anything.
It was me. Sorry, had some dodgy chicken. Lot's of seeding went on that night.
+Dan Brown We find out the seed is just 42.
everybody noticed the background sound throughout the video?
Well, yeah, because he actually said it himself :)
Wot, no jumper?
He did? Oops! Didn't hear that :)
What is he talking about? I've only been to a dozen systems in the game and already seen all the patterns. Take your own advice Braben.
on that i have to agree,
doltBmB I think you will find this will change (soon!) when they release more information stored within the Stellar Forge engine.
+doltBmB Hm? I've been playing the game for about a thousand hours now, been to the center of the Milky Way and back, and even then some systems still surprise me.
Vagabond Zav one in every thousand you see is a little bit different maybe? Sorry, not good enough.
doltBmB Not at all. Every other few systems. At least it's realistic. Space is huge. Things are bound to look similar.
the dislikes were covered because out of 25k views,
500 likes.
3500 dislikes from upset owners of the game this mans company lied about and continues to lie about.
"with a colleague"
his name is IAN BELL.
show some respect you con artist.
