It could be, I mean the dude that made the spaceships has an actual working physics engine.

Plus, with the stimpire story, a better plot than SQ42 will ever have.

I just draw them wearing pink because I like all my aliens to have a bright color scheme. If they wore black they'd look like Scorpio from Farscape. In the final release if we hit the 40 mil stretch goal you can customize your player character's colors so dream your stimps any color you like.

Also I don't think the Stimps worship anything except the amazing fidelity and unparalleled immersion of SQ42 and the dreams and possibilities of the 'laxy

Right now we can only plaster our own dumb names on things, to annoy those who come after us. But naming things is planned, I think. At very low priority, though.

But some explorers like making gigantic galactic maps with fan-made names put in. I promise, if I find the shittiest planet ever, I'll lobby those guys to name it "Stimpire 4".

It was in GBS, OP was like "oh man yeah I was kinda...disturbed in junior high" or whenever it was he drew it. It was about as good of art as you'd expect an angsty teen drawing in pencil on notebook paper. Like Strongbad draws Teen Girl Squad except he did color the biomass at least. Looked like pizza

At one point the earth's militaries try to fight it but it's like that thing in the 5th Element where you keep shooting it but that only adds to its power. Seemed vaguely like I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream too but I wouldn't have known that at the time and have no idea if they were referencing that

Unfortunately I can't even remember if I was even reg'd at the point, figured I was

I know people don't speak like they write, but this guy is absolutely unintelligible. This is Palin-esque word salad. Holy poo poo what the gently caress is he talking about, what is happening in his mind, how horrible must it be to have him as a boss.

Well yeah yeah you can do it on a gaming PC hehe hehe

I mean I'm running this you know this this there's about this this whole scene's running about 10 uh 12 million polygons now uh a frame

um but like so you know to give you an example I'm gonna get into this ship this is like one of the ships we fly on

it's all modeled to sort of the same level of detail that I've got my my character with all the the bits and uh you'll see when I take off

so I'll just I'll climb into my ship uhh *tswhoo* err

and the ship itself is about 300,000 faces uhh

so most vehicles in triple A games now are about 30,000 or 40,000 so it's again about 10X so pretty much everything's about 10X what you have in a current day game

but this is you know everything's about the immersion so I wanna be in the cockpit so like in the old Wing Commander you're in the cockpit but obviously this is you know all modeled fully in 3D and detail and we can look around

and let's I'll just start to go out to space and uhh there's a couple of things uhm there on the side

and also if you take a look at the uhh you can see this thing's rotating around and these these if I stop here for a second you can probably see the doors opening as it's going and I can take out the starship *unintelligible* around here *tshwoo*

He's just using filler words which is a pretty normal thing people do to buy time for their brain to come up with the word they want to use next. If you go to the LP subforum, one of the things people talk about for people doing their LP is to not record their audio live while playing the game because doing both the talking and playing will make people use lots of filler words, you can see it on Twitch streams a lot. Anyway, that said, when giving this sort of interview it's pretty bad form regardless.

No, you're totally right, which is why I qualified my post like a baby. I don't speak like I was devouring Descartes by the age of 10 either, it's just that he's parping out words like a Rorschach tester. Hmm, maybe that's why so many citizens can read their dreams into his speech.

Right and like I said, he's doing an interview and is doing a pretty terrible job explaining his product. It's basically a sale pitch in that situation, and while it may not be a formal one it's to promote your product. Look at any PR guy from any game studio/publisher, they can run rings around the interviewer with the amount of info they can tell you about the product in a clear manner and it comes off highly appealing by comparison.

Roberts is just a bad public speaker, and arguably shouldn't be doing that stuff at all. Sure there's the "OMG it's 90s gaming icon Chris Roberts" angle, but that only gets you so far.

Now come on freiends we all know a highly qualified, competent and shrewd director of marketing wouldn't allow someone incapable of speaking intelligently about a product to engage in any kind of promotional activity. You obviously just don't understand public speaking.
