They have what appears to be little teams working on a tiny thing or whatever and if they dont meet the cutoff point for the monthly patch it just gets pushed back for the next month. CIG is in full content downplaying right now for SC, for the past two months they've been going "Guys dont get exited about SC 2.whatever" because they know all focus is going into SQ42 and whatever dregs they can get from that are repurposed for the 2.0 pre alpha.

Didn't CIG release a massive roadmap at the end of last year where they detailed how the babbypoo was going to be combined with the social module and then later they'd add wormhole travel and a new system. WTF happened to that? How has no one pointed out that a large, seemingly super important plan has just vanished like it never happened? Did the guy behind it get fired or something? He was from Austin right?

ED is infinitely more enjoyable when playing with others. Yeah I'll have to check it out. My kid makes it hard for me to pay attention to any game for more than 15 minutes at a time so I usually just end up reading and shitposting instead of playing good games (not star citizen since it is neither good nor a game).

Someone made a thread about a "big surprise" coming for 2.2 and Ben came into burst some bubbles. https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/316726/big-surprise-coming-in-2-2-or-maybe-before-even-before  Basically the only thing I keep hearing about for upcoming patches is shops, persistence, and a few long-promised ships.

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:What https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/14927-Welcome-To-ArcCorp-Star-Citizen-12-Released It's not exactly what I remembered, but as far as I can tell none of the deliverables described in this thing have materialized. CIG hasn't even mentioned them, so this is probably another plan that croberts or one of his cronies crushed.

I don't, can't, watch their videos much because they're so excruciatingly bad so it is easy to forget just how talentless Sandi appears on camera. She is utterly devoid of charisma and can't even read some loving lines without looking at the script every five seconds. Next to her Ben looks more professional and comfortable in these things ffs. You have to suck real bad for that to happen.

I've worked on many hardware and software projects and I've never seen a 'real' development cycle like this. Typically it is laid out in advance what features will be included in a patch, the only thing that might change is important bug fixes (maybe CIG calls those 'features').

He will just go back to his fan site where he will rewrite history to match whatever bullshit conspiracy CR claims prevented him from realising his genius vision. There  gets to decide what is canon and win every argument because he is the ultimate authority as he saw it all with his own eye and therefore is right and everybody else is wrong and has to do what he says.

You have to suck real bad for that to happen. They have a guy (Lando) who is actually more charismatic, but for some reason do the majority of the shows without him. I'm not saying he's a great guy or anything, but he seems far more natural on camera than most of them. Also (and this is a personal peeve), I can't believe whoever produces these things hasn't taken Ben's phone out of his hand and bashed it into a thousand pieces yet. During any of their 'live' shows he can't stop from constantly looking and playing with his phone ON AIR and looking incredibly bored whenever anyone isn't talking about Wing Commander. It's just incredibly unprofessional and I always think 'If you are too bored to even pay attention to this, why should your customers bother?'.

("QA" CCP's 6-week release cycle that they tried for a year or two kind of worked that way, but even then, there was some delays built in so that it wasn't a case of “oh, it compiled with no errors, add it to the patch!” It was more a case of, if a development sprint (including QA) was fully completed, it was added to what could conceivably go into a patch, and once it was patch time, a decision was made what to include and then an announcement was made on the patch features. In some (I'd even say most) cases, features were held back until they could be released as a coherent package: this patch is all about ship balance; the next patch is all about UI updates; both will have some sprinklings of bug fixes, etc.

So has anybody else loaded up the new showroom yet? The first time I did it, the whole process was really sudden and confusing. this guy in a T-pose showed up and started talking really fast, and today I just got a bill in the mail for a $32,000 loan from "Shifty's Ship Loans and Swedish Meatball Emporium" that says something about kneecaps. Citizens, please help, I think something's wrong with my game.

WTF happened to that? How has no one pointed out that a large, seemingly super important plan has just vanished like it never happened? Did the guy behind it get fired or something? He was from Austin right?  The wormhole travel video from Pax South was whipped up to placate Chris during one of his crippling outbreaks of Braben Envy. He cried out, in a fever dream, "Witchspace! We gotta outdo Witchspace!" So they cranked out an in-engine prototype and brought it to his bedside. The frenzy subsided and later, when he was ambulatory again, he decided to share it with fans. Like so many such palliatives, it did not survive the "is this fun?" test and likely will not be included in the game. G0RF fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Feb 6, 2016 |
