"I believe" at no point did I say it was actually fun. "It seems" I was more citing the POTENTIAL of fun at some indeterminate point in the future. (Actually, I was sort of digging the sort of vague sandbox Dead Space vibe that was going on.)

I wish the game went total Dead Space on that role players face at the most crucial moment of his role playing. When he woke up and used the toilet. *toilet face guard plops down* *Deadspace Horrer pops inside your face*

Yeah how would we know how to feel without a poll anyway? What do you mean ADD a poll? That's ridiculous. They only do that when they move other threads to the concern forum.

They should really should just call it the "your thread is a sleeping elderly person and this forum is the pillow forced onto their face" forum.

Not bad, all in all. Needed the music balanced a bit better (I still really have no clue what it was other than some kind of background noise - OH! CIG ripoff idea! MP3 kiosks! (Do not steal!)). Other than that, pretty drat funny! O7

Meanwhile, in a conference room overseas, a hastily-assembled gathering of already war-wounded CIG developers stare hollowly at their portly, manic leader.

'It has happened yet again', this they discern before he opens his mouth. Some new triviality, conceived in a fever-dream, born without gestation, will now be made an urgency of the highest-possible priority. This they knew the moment he reached for the red marker.

That bloody red marker!

The last time it was wielded so spastically, it demanded a procedural generation video, one which zoomed out from an extreme close up on the pupil of a soldier aside his ship, then out to reveal the subterranean hangar where he stood, then out higher to include the detailed of the planet Nyx's mining camp, then higher still to reveal the mountainous terrain of a PG planet, then higher still above clouds to finally end in space, the planet now dark ball eclipsing a distant star.

'Oh how fussy he was about that final image!', they remembered. Their leader never said it but of course they knew. It was a subtle dig at the Elite:Horizons logo, a little jab between frenemies to serve notice that "I'm coming for you, Braben. Anything you can do I can do better." Yet it was clear then as it was now there was a hint of fear powering this mania. Insecurity. A sense that without a cunning defense-- even an illusory one-- that he very well might lose customers to that frenemy.

Their leader now starts to spell out their new objective, meaningless couplets ('ultra-immersive', 'mega-fidelity') littering the whiteboard as he mumbles to himself in a frantic staccato.

In only a minute, their new task emerges from the buzzword jumble on the board.

'Arena Commander: Elite Combat' will become their sole priority. A standalone PC title, available for Steam, must be delivered in weeks. He hadn't said dates, or platforms-- yet they knew. They just knew.

Would that he trusted them, that would be enough. This would be a softer monkey wrench than many he's thrown at them. Yet he didn't, and it won't. And this they know before the catering carts start rolling in with enough food to last them 12 hours, though they've been there six already.

And then the session truly begins as he finally turns to address them.

"Let's talk about procedurally-generated hyper-explosions.... Oh-- and cockpit bobble-heads. With damage states. And PS4 friendly. And VR compatibility."

---

And somewhere, amidst the quadrophonic hum of groans and sighs, a smile, lit by the light of a phone held too close, breaks out on a lone developer's pasty face. Rockstar London is calling back. He will take the call, and no matter the offer, no matter the moving expense, he will take the job.

I really do want somebody to eventually put together some kind of document where things like the first redwalrus photoshop appeared, where pgabz first video was posted, when Karl hosed off, and other thread milestones. Something for posterity.

Awesome! For source control, I'm trying out the Git/BitBucket/SourceTree flow described here:

https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/cloud-build/creating-your-first-source-control-repository

It relies on Unity Cloud Build, which is only available with a Unity Pro account. I can add pro accounts to mine if you don't have one, we can chat about that depending on how deep you wanna go into this thing.

PM me and we can get real, like Johnny Hammersticks, Hammerin' away like he's...

Is Unity decent with source control yet? Last time I messed around with it SVN was recommended and binary and temp files were a pain to deal with
