dude if it was clouds I’d shit myself. It’s probably just a quick design of an in-game chat box that he was referring to the other day. Flavien is too humble to show any clouds, and we haven’t seen water since like 2007.

Nope, chat was in the weekly update. Also, water looks pretty good and was included in the kickstarter video and some screenshots pre-prototype… but never in the prototype.

Pre-rendered stuff, yeah. Notice how Saturday is two years to the day from the launch of their Kickstarter. Maybe it’s just a coincidence. Pretty cool though either way.

Flavien said a few surprises so more than one…
Let’s start with what’s been confirmed:
Maybe one of the surprises will be a bunch of dumb test NPCs randomly flying around shooting.

Maybe the big grey asteroid from the flyaround video some time ago. A basic chat maybe. Maybe missiles. New or changed planets. Maybe a new warp system and or a system for real distance interplanety jumps (FTL).
Can’t wait to play it!

Source engine style playback? I’d be incredibly surprised. I think that would take a significant amount of time to implement.
And would chat be a surprise? it’s shown in the screenshot.

I guess a set if new planests/moons with slightly different parameters but no real new proc-gen types.
In order to test warp capabilities.

If I remember correctly that went hand in hand with the implementation of the entity-component-system that was talked about. See Flaviens post here:

Ah yes. Good quote-fu. Thanks.
P.S.
It would still need UI, client side recording or downloading from server, and other bits and pieces.
The core functionality might be there but it takes more than that to make it a usable feature in the client.

Second guess: Megastructures or a really huge station, even bigger than Skycrane 5. Or a tutorial voiced by Flavien showing all the weapons and ships…

The space whale would be a nice April Fools day event to see just how large objects can be.
