I'm appreciate it if someone could piece together a flowchart of operations showing the ACTUAL chain of command / systems of reporting at CIG, especially considering the mixed areas of responsibility, the way everyone reports to Chris and he directly overrides artists if boots are not to his liking.

Well good, now they can build another Mocap set for that ship.

Seriously can't get over "...and they invariably need new mocap done for each new ship that comes around."

Yeah, now that they have the studio, they love doing custom animations for all of the accesses. It makes things look nice (when it is finished), but it is annoying to players if the canned animations take too long. I'm hoping they'll drop back on it eventually. One of the most impressive details of a studio like Naughty Dog is they know when to use canned animations, and when to use environmental IK tagging. It's why you see Joel (in last of us) reach over to brace himself on certain objects when he is crawling. It is not an animation you cannot break out of, just a nice touch players notice.

I'd like to see more of that, but Crytek does not have that capability, to my knowledge. (That is, it has IK and pre-IK, but not IK tagging on objects). In my opinion, it's better for western games to focus on interrupting player movement as little as possible. Here's where I note I'm not a fan of Monster Hunter or Dark Souls. :crossarms:

To be fair this guy says he just did "side jobs" to pay for this. Either he's lying, or he's very wealthy indeed. I don't know what $30k is to him, but it's probably a lot less than it is to most people.

It's the people spending $10k when that's every penny they've got in their bank account that are really insane. If you're swimming in money and throw some of it on this bonfire it's not so weird.

I don't see any evidence that he's all that wealthy. 30000 = 10k a year for the three years the game has been in development. Lots of non wealthy people can make 10 grand a year in side jobs/OT/whatever. I've spent more on Amazon over the same time period, and I am definitely not "very wealthy."

I like to make fun of this debacle as much as anyone else but talking about whether you would or would not gently caress Sandi is just weird

Normally I'd agree, absolutely. Her appearance and fuckability have nothing to do with her ability to do her job as VP of Marketing. Judging women on their looks rather than competence is weird and gross.

Except Sandi made herself part of the product. She made her appearance an issue.







It's easy to be queen bee in nerd circles, and she cynically tried to set herself up to be every guy's imaginary space girlfriend. Honestly I think that is why her marriage was kept secret: it wasn't about avoiding concerns about nepotism, but was instead to make herself seem available. (Like those j-pop idols who aren't allowed to have boyfriends, to maintain the illusion that they might be available to their fans.) Married with children and she's a Space MILF, not a Space Babe.

Cats are good pets for lazy people because they're lazy as gently caress and don't give a gently caress if you ignore them 90% of the time because they're asleep 90% of the time.

Cattes are very easy to care for. Clean their litter box a few times a year and that's about it. They can get their food from eating mice and bugs, and their water from the toilet. Get a catte.

I guess this depends on your definition of wealthy. Considering 30k to be "fun money" for you to blow on a hobby is fairly wealthy in the eyes of many people. My main point is that if he really is in a position of "well I had this 30k lying around so I figured I'd spend it on X instead of Y" it's not such a big deal as some of the people on reddit who are saying "I spent 5k on a space jpg and now I'm being evicted because I can't pay rent but it is all worth it!".
