You also don't need to find the immersion chute to crawl through to get into the things which is nice. Space is really dense - there are heaps of objects out there and everything is obviously scaled down (lyrius in particular looks tiny) but that's actually good because it means getting somewhere isn't a miserable five hour immersion-slog strapped into a cockpit. You also might see someone out there more than once in a while, if anyone was there. welp those are my initial thoughts. I'll keep at it until i can manage to fly towards a planet without exploding.

How did you do these things?

Yeah, I deliberately kept things simple, the world small etc. None of that fake immersion bullshit.

You can pick a target (e.g. jump gate), press CTRL+W to jump through hyperspace. Then cruise through the jump gate, press F to trigger it, pick a scene

When it's released and had burned-in for a week or so, I'm giving every loving Goon who asks for one, a free key. One of my main objectives is to cram 256 people (a single scene limit) in a single scene in one test later this month.

I am looking forward to testing this game with my goon friends

The reviews on Steam are a good read. 22 ostensibly marked positive, but all but nine were sarcastic. Of those nine, three were neutral, three were written by idiots, and three were actually positive but mostly talked about potential, rather than an actual game.

I'm waiting for the day when DS hires Sandi away to do marketing for LoD :allears:

or the day when he realizes that as soon as SC becomes a footnote, so will he.

New JP is up with Scoutchat. The intro says it all...

"The Xi’An Scout has been in development longer than most ships, in large part because it’s the first Xi’An vessel we’ve created. Several artists have taken lead on it in succession, starting with Elijah McNeal, followed by Eddie Del Rio and Gary Sanchez, with significant input from Chris Olivia, Chris Smith and others."

Definitely reflects CIG's "priorities change hourly" school of project management.

So I see Sandi is so good she skipped the usual parts of being an actress

1- Be good at acting
2- Get noticed
3- Do some movies
4- Become a well known celeb
5- Burrow into a mountain of cocaine

She seriously skipped 1-4 and went straight to 5

$3M per month is a better estimate, since Frontier Developments (who publishes their finances annually) costs $2.5M per month, has one studio, and has the same number of employees as CIG. Likely it's higher than that.

My Generosity is again
LEGENDARY!

hi everyone what's going on in this thread :cool:

For the last few months I've been tearing apart the leaked (moddable) alpha build of SC with four primary objectives:

* Make the Constellation flyable in a build the "public" actually has access to (note: this project started before 2.0 came out, but this also uses the "old" Constellation, not the revamped one)
* Make a fun story using a combination of mission scripting edits and post-processing witchcraft, using completely original footage of a heavily modded (if buggy) game environment to capture the kind of situations I hope Star Citizen can one day pull off
* Put this goon's amazing voice in the game
* Sneak a Goonrathi logo in somewhere (you'll know it when you see it)

After an insane amount of effort (and an even more insane amount of generosity from the aforementioned goon voice-actor (3 / Arkimedes) in churning out all the dumb lines I sent him and making them actually sound awesome), I've finally accomplished all four of these objectives! I'd love to hear what you guys think :)

Introducing: Flight of the Constellation v2.0! (v2.0 because this one's way more awesome and ambitious than the first one)
