Scruffpuff posted:Did I miss something? Didn't they just take a patch from one server and move it to the other? Why is this a thing? Doesn't everyone have equal access to both test servers anyway? Isn't there no persistence at all to the universe in any form, so it doesn't even matter which server you get on in the first place? How is it "Live" except in name only? With all this excitement, it has to be me that's wrong. Right? you're missing nothing. In fact you can literally copy the last PTU build from the "test" folder and move it in to the "public" folder in order to save on downloading time.

Maybe we shouldn't jump to conclusions. After all, with people like the Wulge being poster-chlidren for the community, maybe “scope creep” is some term of endearment they use due to how often they have been called that themselves.

No, I just can't. How the gently caress would pinning game mechanics down somehow play into our hands? The lack of indication that CIG is even thinking about core gameplay mechanics is one the most convincing arguments against the game ever getting done My logic lobe hurts

The lack of indication that CIG is even thinking about core gameplay mechanics is one the most convincing arguments against the game ever getting done If they pinned down the mechanics before they started implementing them it would be clear that none of them actually work together and that it'll all be a disaster. You've gotta leave a bit of mystery and ambiguity in your design documents for the believers to hide behind when ever anyone is critical.

Because it would be a solid and measurable metric of the current state of development, rather than the current state of archly referring to the impossible and then quietly scrubbing it off the whiteboard. Recall that this is the most open development evah. Beet Wagon posted:CIG, trash that SQ42 script. I'll cook you up a better one for the low low price of making Derek Smart the main character.

A Neurotic Jew posted:you're missing nothing. So they have two test servers, which they have labelled LIVE and TEST. Neither of which are persistent, which defeats the purpose of iterating potentially unstable builds on TEST before they move to LIVE. And this tissue-paper veiled illusion is holding up nicely among the backers, to the point where they get excited that the latest patch went "LIVE", which affects absolutely nothing except which button they click on the launcher. No matter how low CIG sets the bar, citizens are impressed with its height.

I think there are maybe more servers supporting the LIVE version. That's the only difference other than the symbolic completion of the iteration (time to see new doors in 2.2!) They pulled a nice slight-of-hand by basically having people test a few shifting variables and minor bug fixes, and then ending the iteration by throwing a new ship in out of nowhere.

These guys put a lot of effort and planning into the illusion of being video game developers. A surface scan of the company looks great. One molecule deep, it's all horseshit. I wish they'd put that kind of effort into game design - who knows what they could accomplish.

drat Dirty Ape posted:What is 1000 citizen bucks equal to in real money anyway? Seriously, how much does a .jpeg of a space fish cost these days in real money? It's not enough to sell us .jpegs of spaceships after all. We should probably all get together and make a website called Shart Fistizen or something and sell people crudely-drawn MSPaint .jpegs. We could get the guy who made the working prototype of Gigamaidens (not cabbagepots) to gin up some 'actual gameplay footage' of our .jpegs doing whatever it is that .jpegs do. We would probably make a working game faster than CIG, though.

Nice of them to offer a sale of the new Vanguard (which as of now variant owners can't have in their hangers) for $250. If you purchase that and a Sabre, they knock $10 off for the low cost of $410.

I have a feeling that when this whole thing goes tits up, Sandi will release a teary-eyed video blaming goons/Derek for killing their dreams and the whales will easily eat it up. Which will be awesome, we'll get all the accolades for their hard If Trump replaced every mention of muslims with goons he'd instantly win their hearts and votes

You have to be mentally incompetent to believe that. Oh wait, nearly all the whales in SC are fundamentally retarded so they'll probably eat it up while everyone else laughs and mocks them for paying a known failure thousands of dollars to play Hollywood with his shrew of a wife. I'm fine with this.
