" There are much grander plans for Project Nova thoughGÇöplans that donGÇÖt at all come through from this little arena shooter demo. The long-term vision for Nova is to get back to the Dust 514 dream, blending Nova together with EVE Online.
Not in real-time, per se. +ürnason says that only GÇ£one percent of one percentGÇ¥ of EVE Online players ever used the real-time feedback aspects of Dust. But the idea of the Planetary Conquest mode, wherein corporations battled for control of planets, is something +ürnason wants to resurrect in NovaGÇöand more.
GÇ£What IGÇÖd like to do is some sort of economic link,GÇ¥ says +ürnason. In this hypothetical situation, he sees a corporation in EVE Online and in Nova linking up, potentially by way of a structure created in EVE, and then hooking together so each side gets money or other resources. GÇ£That future is all an open map,GÇ¥ says +ürnason. GÇ£We can do whatever we want, after we demonstrate the correct shooting mechanics.GÇ¥
ItGÇÖs bottom-up development, and talking to +ürnason it seems like this is the opposite of DustGÇöa game that seemingly started with a grand plan but could never nail down the details. The downside: The demo here at Fanfest is not nearly as inspired, mainly because none of those big-picture details are in yet.
Which is not to say itGÇÖs bad. ItGÇÖs not! ItGÇÖs a perfectly fine twist on the arena shooter. But itGÇÖs clearly early days for development, and I have a feeling plenty of people will walk away from Nova this week feeling like itGÇÖs lacking a hook, a standout feature, not realizing that those are on the long-term roadmap.

In all seriousness, I'd like to know what kind of feedback the demo has been receiving over the first day.
Anyone have the scoop, CPM or otherwise?

In all seriousness, I'd like to know what kind of feedback the demo has been receiving over the first day. Anyone have the scoop, CPM or otherwise? I was standing in the debriefing room with Rattati and Frame for a good while listening in to several groups giving feedback. It's been very positive so far with many describing it as very tight and precise. The other thing is that this demo was not on a LAN or a server in the room, it was over the Internet. And there was no lag. So that's good. They also had to cap the frame rate for the connection to work. The PCs were cranking it out at 200fps at max settings otherwise.
From a few of the videos that I've watched it looks quite fluid.
If there's any way you could ask Rattati or Frame for some official correspondence (preferably posted here on the forms) that would be amazing. Any little thing, even about the "tiered recognition rewards", would be double-plus good, although that might be a tall order before FF is over.
Glad to hear that the demo is well received though, and all the better to get the thing greenlit.
