Here is the past couple weeks more or less: A head programmer broke his wrist(s) and so for this reason Alpha 2.0 is delayed. It's supposed to be out Any Day Now, but they admit that they can't get any footage from it because of how many game-breaking bugs there are. Derek claims that they are not even close to having a workable program and that it would probably be wiser if they don't release anything than put out the unplayable and feature-stripped mess they have right now. But if they don't put out anything by the end of the year it will look really, really bad so they are scrambling to put something out the door. They also just started building another office complete with ~another MoCap Studio~ in Santa Monica for completely inexplicable reasons. Sales are down by a lot. The yearly anniversary sale is in four days and should have some Grade-A attempts at pocket fleecing. Derek promised a simultaneous blog release maybe? but who knows with that guy.

Meanwhile Octopode self-doxxes with potentially sensitive information to prove he is a knower of things.

If they have any further questions, they're free to read the DIA homepage, which contains all the information posted, and more! I recommend the 5 year IT strategy; it's still a good read, even if Grant's not around anymore.

Unfair Increase in Minimum System Requirements in Future? posted:

Hi fellow Citizens,

I'm concerned with CI's line above about system specs changing for the final release of SC. I hope that CI don't price some players out with too high system specs; leaving some to a buggy laggy game experience. I've been a backer since Jan 2014 and I hope to be able to play a gold release at decent specs.

I bought my PC in early 2014 hoping for a SC playable release in 2015 and we players shouldn't be penalised because CI's dev process has extended i9nto 2016/17. I'm concerned I spend £1,200 in 2014 and I'm already falling behind in the tech race. This is partly natural tech progression but CI also have to ensure they don't go automatically for the top end of specs, like they did with Wing Commander every iteration.

OS

I have a Windows 7 OS (64 bit) and I am unlikely to upgrade in the near/medium future as this is a stable system for me. I don't want to spend on Win 8 or 10 unless I have to due to significant new features. I hope CI don't bump up to minimum Win 8 or something like limit features on Win 7.

Graphics Card

I have a GE Force 660 (2GB) bought with my Dino PC in early 2014. Bought in anticipation of SC amongst other games. I already notice the hangar module is slow, laggy and has weird lighting. Although I played last about 4 months ago. I am downloading launcher again and hope the demo and Arena Commander are smoother. I hope you don't need a better graphics card.

Is a GEForce GTX 660 (2GB) good enough to play Sq42 or Gold release even into 2016?

System Specs

I have an Intel Core i5 4670 processor, 8GB RAM and 2TB Hard drive with 1 TB left available.

I hope that is good enough.

Anyone else amongst our community struggling with minimum specs for SC?

at first I'm genuinely curious about why he thinks certain things, but soon his arguments start becoming either disingenuous or obtuse and I lose patience. I do hope he continues on this journey to hell with us.
