Star Citizen is held together entirely by dreams and duct tape. Maybe they can sell different jpegs of duct tape now.

Well technically 2.0 hasn't been released. It's only available on the PTU to a selection of all backers. I guess this whole things showcases that SC isn't a Scam and wasn't intended as a scam. (as said by Derek Smart). It's just a very expensive massively scoped (overscoped?) project. 14 companies have been founded and other financial stuff is certainly "interesting", but it's not uncommon for owners of a company to take the share of the profits they feel are appropiate. Just in this case the earnings aren't profit.

AP posted:It's from Star Citizen, the wonderful new game from Chris Roberts. You either follow the EVA procedure or your body is still attached to the ship no mater what happens. When the ship disappeared, lacking positional information from the ship controls, the arms and legs just pointed somewhere in space. If this game ever comes out I'd say a small group of those EMP ships making a paceline from bellow could take that ship no prob.

I dunno some of the videos being uploaded now actually look like a game, a game that would probably be better with zombies, but still an actual game, it's pretty odd.

It's still not going to live up to the hype of people who seem to think it's going to change their lives, but it'll be a video game and I'm not sure it'll be a particularly bad one. Not one that does anything too impressive but still, it looks like he's managed to make a video game.

Let's not get carried away, Karl has spent at least $5k and was telling us he'd not spent anything while acting as a shill for CIG. There's no way that's not hosed up behaviour. There's now a slim possibly that someday you might get to pay $30 to headshot someone who's spent $2500 on an in game space yacht and steal it. That and a free SQ42 movie. They still have 100+ ships to put into the form of a real game and a ton of other issues to solve.

A lot of folks still really hope that CIG somehow accidentally crosses the finish line on this and produces an emergent spaceship experience. The problem is I'm sure we're well past "fool me twice, shame on me" and into "fool me twenty times, but I'm still hopeful."

mdxi posted:D_Smart and Nicholas Vining know each other? How close were we to having Derek Smart's Dungeons of Dredmor 3000? NIck worked for me for several years as a gamedev and directly reported to me. I considered him a protege. He's brilliant; has great upbringing, is well grounded, sharp as a whip - and has an infection sense of humor (seriously, some of his code comments were truly hilarious, and I still have them in the code). Love that guy. He left to go back to college and complete his degree. When he was finished, he felt it was time to start his own thing. And he did. So yeah, if he's commenting on my theory regarding the 2.0 jitters, it's because he's well familiar with my game code (he had to work with legacy code as part of his tasking) and how I solved that particular problem.

AP posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99CE7EeVAa0&t=20s It's jittery as gently caress. The player's limbs move lightning fast. Everything has a slight jitter, the colors and lighting are bland, and it continues to look like the game is fighting itself to work. There are a lot of hacked-in things just to make this work. I have the feeling that 2.0 is full of smoke and mirrors to look like something it isn't. For example, going from one place to another looks more like Eve's jump animation that masks the system loading. The flight model of the ships appear to be a globally-applied rudimentary basic framework instead of the touted ones based off of thruster output. The FPS being non-functional anywhere but the single area, it looks like they need to load a special instance to have it work. This is just a few things I noticed. I have no desire to play this game still- and compared to E:D, SC is so far behind there's no way it'll catch up. I have a feeling that Braben will have multicrew, avatars, and FPS before this game even makes pre-beta.

But 2.0 hasn't been released yet. It's on the PTU (Private Test Unit?) for select backers (couple of thousands). That's a similar state as big patches for War Thunder. Which go onto a pre-release testing on a seperate server. At least technically 2.0 hasn't been released yet (I'm a horrible jerk). Though it certainly was "sold" as release.
