Wait so did this happen during business hours? Like were they paid to watch Star Wars and eat pizza? And this was broadcast as part of one of the "shows" that are supposed to be part of their "open development" that they reference in their refund rejection emails and Sandi uses to pad her demo reel?

Since we were talking about how the player becomes the ship, I wonder if the engine is trying to spawn the base of the ship model (you can see all the sub-parts of the ship waiting for the ship itself), but the spawn system is somehow defaulting to the player model, and it just keeps dumping the player model out repeatedly because whatever is calling the spawn function detects that the ship hasn't spawned in yet so it just keeps on trying. As entertaining as all the project developments have been, the community, the emails, the "verse" videos they've put out, I bet the most entertaining, by far, would be the code itself. If there were some way to express the source code in a communicable manner, that was as broadly understandable as gifs or vids, it would probably far surpass everything else. The closest we can possibly get to that is glitch videos. From what I've seen and read, this project appears to be based on one of the most pathological examples of spaghetti code I've ever seen in my life. Just listen to the developers in the "verse" videos. They can't even find where certain settings are going wrong. They fiddle around with values to make them work, but they don't have any clue why they eventually work. This is a development scenario that explodes exponentially with every little additional change. Any respectable project would halt everything at this point until they got a handle on what was actually occurring. If you have one or two things like this near the end of development, when everything is in place and you're just polishing, maybe it's excusable to hack a workable fix that works for unknown reasons (see Donkey Kong 64). When you are still far pre-alpha (which this game is by any real metrics), and you have 95%+ of game mechanics yet to be added, this is a show-stopper. When you take into account all the features that have been promised, and apply that against the problems they are currently having with an engine that just lets you fly around space and shoot guns, it's self-evidently clear they will never release anything that is nominally more functionally than what they have now. They will be able to throw in more content, more pretty graphics, and tie a few more mechanics together, but anything beyond that is a $105 million game of Jenga.

Ok i'm gonna play devils advocate here, people do get things like that all the time it's super poo poo, a relative of mine has vertigo and when he has a bad "moment" he looks and sounds like a drunk having a stroke, I know that's not even related but people have weird reactions to the smallest poo poo is what i'm trying to say. But yeah why would anyone post that anyway? + the schizophrenia thing....

It's a good example of Eastern European coding practices. They do a lot of clever poo poo with a lot of clever solutions. The problem with that is it's held together with bailing wire and tape, so any stress on the code base will undo those clever solutions.

Ash1138 posted:Yet the citizens don't even blink when goalposts are moved or features or ships that have been quietly forgotten are brought up on the forums. Compare that to something like WoW's community who will remember everything that every dev or community manager has ever said ever and will flip their poo poo over the slightest perceived contradiction. It seems like every game has a community that at least gets a little salty when features are dropped or release dates are missed. I don't really get it either unless it is just huge sunk cost fallacy at play here. The WoW example above reminds me of a study in contrast, FFXIV. Since relaunch the devs have busted their asses producing and maintaining their game, and had pretty good community interaction (especially given the language barrier of a Japanese studio). Sure, you get the spergs on the official forums who can't get over the fact they dared rebuild the game from the disaster that was 1.0 launch, and the other types of MMO gamers who post on official forums, but the community as a whole is chill and pretty respectful. Last March, Yoshida and company did a PAX panel showing a shitload of content from the upcoming expansion. Then they talked about the release date for Heavensward; they announced that they were truly sorry but they had to push it back (by all of six weeks). The devs all looked devastated by this, like they had let the fans down. The community looked at this, collectively shrugged, and were like "You guys have been putting out huge content patches out every 3-4 months for over a year and a half now. It's cool, guys." Square and YoshiP earned that from their players. CIG...yeah.

Which is funny since it's against Twitch's TOS/EULA, which the SC fans used to get Derek's channel shutdown when he was doing live commentary on CitizenCon. Edit - To be fair to Twtich, it was an automated takedown for obvious reasons but it's funny how they'll whine that Derek broke the EULA/TOS by doing that but ignore that CIG also broke the EULA/TOS.
