Will you add something like Re-growing resources? Like.. If you put seeds on a place of your choise there starts a tree growing?

Multiplayer!? Fuck yea!

By the way, will old computers be able to support it? I mean I have a graphics card with 128 mb. So, I should be able to play it?

This is at least planned but I won't promise anything.

@ schattex: Of course. This was already part of Stranded II and it's actually a very important aspect of the game!

@ Jela331: I'll try to make it scale down as much as possible so everyone who was able to play SII should be able to play SIII as well. But again: I can't promise this. I'm just trying.

It's nice to see that you didn't try to make another minecraft copy.
How about the physics? Are you going to use a real physics engine this time (Or is there already one built-in in OGRE?)?

I hope the physics will be better then, too. I mean you didn't even get fall damage, and you simply can walk up and down a steep mountain without jumping.

I didn't decide about physics yet.

Just don't ask @ DC: Just wait for news and we will see son how far progress are

Awesome! <69

How about a german Thread, DC?

I'm not going to translate it but some people from the IRC chat are planning to do so.

1. Use voxels
2. Image with new terrain could be Stranded III alpha
3. Think about new skybox (more realistic, maybe a little darker)
4. Make possibility to import Stranded II maps. It would be cool.
5. IMPORTANT! Map editor of course required, but it would be cool to make Adventure editor, meaning you click Adventure like in Stranded II and select default or user-created adventure
6. Change saves idea that they don't contain a whole map (smaller size, I would use it in my pro/Medieval mod for save-to-cloud function in GameSpot)
7. Ability to hide map in map selection menu, just like Adventure maps aren't displayed. It would be cool in custom Adventures (don't display all maps just the first to start Adventure)
8. More weather effects would be great (like sandstorm or tornado)
9. Crafting - Allow stack creating of e.g. arrows
10. Windows - make 'em movable & resizable

This is my top 10 list of features that would be cool I thought about sending it as PM but deicded to share with everyone. Feel free to reply what do you think about those.

I hope the player will have a face, animation, and visible by reflection to water.

I have an idea about that, you could make heightmap for water - so, land and water have different heightmaps. And I hope to see waterfalls!

@ Geez: This is NOT an idea thread (please read all the other answers in this thread and you'll know what I'm talking about)! Also you obviously didn't read the dev blog otherwise you wouldn't suggest voxels.

Then we will be able to suggest after the first version is released?

There's mistake in last sentence: "bumbmap" instead of "bumpmap".

@ DC:
Can you tell us how long it will take to the first open alpha version (1 year, 2 years... 10 years)?

Not so long. Implying that DC is already working on that project, and it's his hobby - it might take up to 6 months, no longer (I think).

Finally stranded 3! Thanks alot, nice to know your still developing (or at least care more )

And for those asking when it will be released. read the FAQ

@ EndDead:
I should read the FAQ more often .
