Beer4TheBeerGod posted:

$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.

Yeah, so even with that very conservative estimate (let's face it, Frontier aren't jetting around the globe continually or running $20,000 coffee machines) we're talking $100,000-120,000 a day in operating costs. They must be burning through a couple of million a month by the time they've made a few indulgences.

So I guess the question is, do they have enough in reserve to get them through until the Sq42 release (which will obviously save the day)?

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.

It pretty much validates that letter from way back when. All those people got a thing dropped in their lap and since it's not their design and they know it will probably be shuffled off to someone else, there's no ownership and no passion behind the work. And of course I'm sure that ~someone~ has endlessly micromanaged the thing to death.

Goons most celebrated and successful tactic in that game is to literally bore the enemy until the prospect of fighting goons makes them want to quit the game.

Things must have changed quite a bit from when I played 9-10 years ago. I remember mostly attacking large expensive ships with swarms of cheap throwaway ships and blowing them up then taunting the owners on the message board.

hi everyone what's going on in this thread

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)
https://youtu.be/8mkgfJ9ltEs

Extra special thanks to Beer for providing inspiration and pointing me in 3's direction.

This is better than literally everything CIG has put out for their own drat game combined.

god drat I suck. Fixed!

I actually did post it on Reddit but it got downvoted into oblivion within like ten seconds, no joke. It still got noticed by a few and eventually pulled into a positive score, but still dropped out of visibility pretty quickly compared to other threads going on at the time.

I was actually kinda even hoping an original project like this with a bunch of fresh content might even get noticed for the "MVP" thing CIG does, but no luck yet.
