Dusty Lens posted:I've been enjoying ED for the past several days and, man, your video really drove home just how janky and miserable SC is. I think that's one of the ways that really shows you how much work they have left to do to even get close to a playable game. Like... the first time I fired up Arena Commander, the last space game I had played was probably TIE Fighter in the 90s, and Arena Commander seemed okay I guess. After dumping a couple days into Elite, going back to SC really highlights how loving lovely and janky the whole thing is. Even simple poo poo like setting up your controls is a nightmare in SC, to say nothing of the weirdly overpowered thrusters and massless ships. e: baby Kayak picture for maximum page snipe

(Do not steal!)). Other than that, pretty drat funny! O7 Thanks, that music is a special custom track called "I Forgot Pandora Was Still On" but I won't be doing that again haha. Seriously at one point in the video I'm pretty sure there's just a FourSquare commercial playing. Woops!

Toops posted:There isn't anything to actually persist. Dead on. What would persist? What would a character wipe mean, for example? - Player inventory - Is there a bank or other storage? Does it persist across areas, or is each bank an individual instance? What can I store? - Ship inventory - Does my vending machine stick around once I place it in the hold? Is there physical or virtual inventory tracking? Will the cargo area stay like I arrange it, or dynamically populate with inventory upon ship spawn? - Ship persistence - Will my weapon loadouts stay the same between sessions? Can I move modules between ships? If so, how? Where are modules stored? - Player advancement - Do players get experience and grow over time? Do players have persistent weapon inventories? Weapon carry limit? How do I choose what I am carrying? Where are the overflow weapons stored? What other types of things can I carry? - Fleet inventory - Where are the ships stored? Do I have all my ships available from every pad? Or do I leave them at stations like Elite or EVE? These are foundational questions - things you should have nailed down before you write the first line of code, or even choose a game engine. What is this game? The question nobody asked.

Scruffpuff posted:Dead on. What would persist? What would a character wipe mean, for example? Yeah. If the game finally reaches a point of an economy, it will be interesting how they reconcile grind vs keeping the whales happy. I think that will be the greatest poo poo fest with all the whining from both sides. I can dream the game will lurch along to get to that point of development.

"I don't see why some noob who didn't even support the development of the game should be able to get the Javelin I mortgaged my house for in less than a year of work!" Progress too slow? "I mortgaged my house for this loving Javelin & it didn't even come with turrets. Every time I get forced into non-consensual PVP & it gets destroyed in short order, I have to grind for a month to re-equip it, or throw down $150 to fill my UEC wallet up!"

runsamok posted:Yeah, there's no way that can turn out well at all. And this is where the hand waving amorphous claims of Roberts comes into play. He stated it doesn't want to be a grind and one could get a Constellation with 40 hours of gameplay (I'm not entirely certain of that number but you get my gist.) Which of course some brave soul did the analysis and was laughed out of reddit because he knew nothing about numbers and how unsustainable it all was.

There is no sustainable business model. The plan was to flip the whole thing and sell the entire lot to a big name publisher allowing certain people , lets call them majestic twelve to retire as millionaires. This didn't happen , the more money came in the more that Chris genuinely believed he could do this.He told the big names to gently caress off So now they have to find a way of monetizing, hence talk of console and splitting up content into separate packages etc. Even if they shove out a half assed bug ridden mission pack with 100000 of cutscene in it at some point next year they need to shift GTA type units to make a profit because they have to then complete the rest of it stretching into 2020 and I'm not talking about Star citizen here which is simply undo able. There will be jail time and there will. most probably be deaths connected to this
