Some galactic defender you are, Space Cadet.
FWIW: There are 15,756 viewers of this stream.

Objectively speaking, and recognizing that there's still 2.5 hours to go, this is the worst livestream they've done.


Addition: Looking back, the opening is worth revisiting.

The professionalism is astounding. I'm not even surprised when they cut to the other team and they didn't realise they were broadcasting early. And wow, let's have some microphone troubles!

Ben is doing all the talking, and super nervous

And Sandi is basically there to make sure he doesn't gently caress something up

In other words they've done something REALLY big (like fired a whole team) and don't want it to slip on the stream

Ahahah the bridge can rotate... because...

Why not? It's not supposed to be in the game anyway. There's no need to actually model the rotation anyways. It's supposed to milk fat white whale nerd wallets like only the most depraved and twisted hentai could ever portray.

As predicted, they didn't actually release any content and instead put up a new jpeg.

Derek probably didn't predict the names this time because if Croberts and Co. are on a mole hunt, then it's highly likely that they gave some of the staff the real names and gave the ones they suspect the fake names. If Derek names them true, then desks are flipped in anger as they're not much closer to ID'ing the mole. If Derek names them false, then he's at risk of losing his insider knowledge.

Wait a minute, I just looked at this. It looks like once again a ship is being put out that adds even more things they'll need to develop in the finished game. That ship apparently has two mini-games built in. One to move a repair arm (whatever that entails) and one to choose materials to craft/repair with.



It's no drink mixing minigame, but yeah for even more scope creep.

This sounds like repairing a ship is simply passing a laser over damage decals to "clean" them off your ship. Oh but the laser takes components as its "ammo".

Groundbreaking.
