Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Seriously, Chris flat out said that if it doesn't come from him it's just opinion. Hundred million dollar project and you can't trust any employee except the guy at the top. Sure, as Chris is the voice of reason for CIG. The illusion popped for me when in one of those (now looking back) idiotic "10 for the chairman" shows someone asked "if the transition between space and a planet will have a realistic and dynamic weather simulation so that sometimes it might be a huge challenge to land through a storm?". Chris answered with something along the lines of "Sure, we will look into that and try to implement it!". Now I happen to have worked on "realistic weather simulation" as an undergrad slave worker in an academic context so my opinion about specifically that topic might be a little warped (I am far far away from beeing an expert on it, though) but even thinking about that is ridiculous and the correct answer should have been "Hahaha no, are you mad?". Maybe I am hurfing too much about this but its like "Will you cure cancer with Star Citizen?" and Chris answers "Yeah, thats our 200m stretch goal!".

CIG should start introducing small "cute" bugs to the game to pad out the notes. Like a lightbulb burns out somewhere. Then write that they fixed it in one patch, but the same patch turns off a bulb somewhere else. They fix that breaking another later. Shitizens download gigs of fixtures, find the whole bulb things cute and immersive and keep drooling. Oh... I just realized CIG doesn't need to change their MO in any way since the effect is there already.

Hillary Clintons Thong posted:seems like a great idea to release an "alpha" version of an mmo without patching support but 1,000,000 citizens cant be wrong! It proves that they don't have anything resembling a proper development pipeline. Because this is a Crysis mod and not a real game.

El Grillo posted:Pretty sure DiscoLando said in that interview video from a few pages back that their FPS work hasn't actually been incorporated into PTU?? Didn't they spend almost a loving year trying to get an advanced animations system in that meant your feet would be in the right place and you'd stop/start realistically and all that poo poo? This is probably the most incredible thing about this mess to me right now. It looks like a vast amount of time, and presumably money, has once again been thrown down the shitter because the management at CIG has no idea what's going on. That's pretty much it. My understanding is that CIG tossed Illfonic to the curb after they discovered that everything Illfonic was working on was incompatible with the unholy abortion that is StarEngine. Mind you this is after they had to rework the animations seven times to satisfy Roberts. Eventually CIG took everything Illfonic had, shoved it all over to the newly created German office, and then let them scavenge what they could. This is after Travis Day spent several weeks over there trying to fix things, so who knows.

Hillary Clintons Thong posted:can someone explain to me in laymans terms why they are so big? the patch notes read like they're more of coding issues, which I can't imagine is something that takes gigs upon gigs unless they're also adding assets to the game, which of course they're not. They dont have a proper patching tool. Cryengine store its game data in a few big files packages (kind of like .CAB file, same idea), but if they fiddle with only one tiny bit of a part of the package you have the re-download the whole file. So right now, let say there is a big file (8GB) that contain all the doors data for the game. If they change one toilet door color (1mb texture), you have to re-download the whole door file. Its not patching, its re-downloading every part of the client that had changes.

I hope they include that note about the broken elevator that traps people. Not fixing that mind you, I just want to see that they are aware of it again.

Didn't know about variables so it was literally all if then else and goto. me too! i actually still kind of love text adventure stuff, or 'interactive fiction' or whatever they're calling it now. they really were a cool gateway into loving videogames forever. i still remember being scared out of my mind as a ten year old playing the game "theatre", which holds up as a kind of creeping-dread-lovecraftian-horror drama. text adventures were kind of proof that all you need for "immersion" (to bring it back to star citizen) is a good turn of phrase, the illusion of seamless interaction with the game system (like being able to anticipate the commands users might try out and providing non-generic responses for sensible attempts), and to provoke the imagination of the player. you don't need the fanciest god drat graphics ever, you don't need to be able to do absolutely everything. oh no god drat am i an old person?

O, Beer O, Beer Won't you spare me over another year. Well what is this that I can't see, With spergy hands takin' hold of me. Well I am Beer, none can excel, I'll open the door to Shitizen Hell. Whoa Beer, someone would pray, Could you wait to stop me another day. The manchilds prayed, the preacher preached, But time and mercy is out of your reach. Pgabz breaks the game, so you can't play, Smart'll doxx and find out where you stay. Beer'll open your eyes so you can see, That Eonwe was right from the very first week. I'm Beer, I come to take your ships. Please find a job and save your tips. You sold your farm, for a game, Now dirt and worm both have a claim.
