Just want to say thanks to the classy goon who bought me platinum as a result of my hardships at the hands of CIG and condolences to the equally classy goon who also bought me platinum 6 hours after the first guy did - I hope you can get your money back and/or find another use for the voucher code.G0RF posted:Sooner or later the backers are going to realize they've been shouting "You clearly know nothing about Game Development!" at the wrong people...

Wow, not having an actual game to play makes people care way more about stupid dumb poo poo. Last I checked in on this thread like 2 months ago there was drama with like Derek Smart lawsuits and poo poo. I tune back in and people are loving complaining about how many seats their JPEG has. What the gently caress. I guess if this is the thing that finally causes people to stop throwing good money after bad then whatever, but jesus.

This is something I wanted to post on before I joined the forum. I see a lot of gifs and references to a weak year start. "Dont be too proud of this technological set of stats you have pulled out" If you look into previous years Q1s you ll see most year starts are very weak aswell. All spergs will confirm as much and will easily handwave this chart. No real surprises there. The challenge for CIG this year is to replicate the steady growth following all those weak Q1s.

The melt value is useful because that's the price CIG believes the item is worth, so it doesn't matter if you've melted or not, click the "exchange for store credits" button in the hangar to see what value they give on the prompt that pops up, then cancel the prompt. If you've spent $300 on the account, shown under billing, and your total item melt value is $240, you can only get $240 back. You can't get more than the total you've spent back from CIG, so sell any giftable extra.

News From Around The ‘Verse Los Angeles LA working on getting PTU pushed out, playtesting bugs and crashes. Lots of focus on the 2.2 push. Why do they even have a two-staged Alpha at this point? Is an Alpha not enough yet? I don't understand the decision to make an Alpha of an Alpha at all Gurmukh is working on the Caterpillar concept with Mark Skelton. Wew, only now they actually work on the concept for the Caterpillar? Didn't they say last year some time that they will release the Caterpillar? Wrapping up heavy marine armour. Medium marine approved and undersuit. Nice, first edition of Stimpire clothing upcoming, looking forward to that and even more restricting viewports by the new stimpire helmet technology Austin All hands on deck working on getting 2.2 live. Nice to see that two studios trying to push out a buggy 2.2 release. So am I seeing this right, Austin tries to get 2.2 live and Los Angeles to PTU? How does this even work I don't even Talking about the first release of persistence, and what things will persist. Shopping and bought items, but also things like player health, item health, ship health, player reputation, etc… Ok cool shopping will persist. Through where? So I can buy something on the planet instance and use it in Crusader? Again I have to buy items with UEC, so that's real world money spent at this point. Great. I don't even want to start about the rest. Player reputation? My bet this will be one of the first things to 'persist' between sessions given their track record right now The Lighting Artist has moved on to work on the Aeroview and Asteroid Hangar to bring them more in line with the R&Y and Selfland hangars. Yeah about those hangars… how exactly are they again in the game aside from being a separate level? Especially with the asteroid hangar I'm pretty confused how this will work out at all Foundry 42 UK Taking a look into the New User Experience. So, CIG is actively reading this thread and using it as a feedback Looking into simplifying the controls for EVA,flight and FPS. Better late than never I guess, I don't see it happen personally that fast though Idris is slowly coming into the engine and has started testing. So they have finally a model of the Idris that can be used in-engine. I guess it's necessary for their SQ42 push. I wonder how multicrew will work here  Someone works full time on ship balancing. Right, this is a good place to start. Balancing unready and unfinal ships this early is top priority Looking at Mobi-Glas layout and a military style one for Sq.42. Frankfurt Big push on AI Given that we haven't seen any real AI behavior yet asides ships flying in circles that is fine, anything can be called a big push here More focus on smaller characters and their roles and behaviour More focus on unnecessary detail features, priorities well managed AI will react to player made noises and react differently to different noises We haven't seen any AI react to anything yet so that's good. Or AI at all yknow. Push against bugs in Crusader and Arena Commander It seems Frankfurt is working on everything and nobody else is doing anything really Level Design working on piping prototype Level 8 pipes achieved Started building a new landing zone Who said again that landing zones will be now able to pushed out real quick again? 0.5 down, 700 to go System Design working on loot prototype I can't even. Now they're working on the prototype of a loot system. So I guess there's at least a final design document to that? Where is it? System Design also working on quantum and interdiction My last information about interdictions was "stand in the way of someone and it will interdict someone" but hey, even here, see loot prototype, where's the design document once again? Open development? System Design also started work on player oxygen system Now EVA will be even limited in time, will be great once you run out of oxygen because your ship disappeared under your rear end. Weapon art has been given a pass on metrics with the goal of making attachments easier in the future. I can't even imagine the clusterfuck they have to work with right now New railgun gone through concept phase Good, more non-functional weapons are built Ship weapons indexed and given metrics Again, more refactoring on something that should be properly designed from the start Continued work on physical EVA, controls and collision detection I love floating into a ship and die because I fall from the physical EVA, so please, more of that Continued work developing out the procedural tech So they finally started on procedural texture generation for planets, good. Let's see how their planets will look, they have to compete with Elite here which does a great job

Chalks posted:I disagree. Lets take a trip back through time: This is difficult to do, 21st Feb 2015 with the start of the mining ship sale https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/14518-Rugged-Colossus-Orion-Mining-Platform You can compare sales to each other, but a space bus doesn't do as well as a long range fighter (Vanguard). You can compare daily income to daily income for non sale weeks, but a LTI concept sale will boost daily figures for 2-3 weeks even after the sale ends. There is a constant need to keep the buzz about the game going and keep people excited, that's why lying during the sales is so important, promise anything and they'll believe you. I think the hype is starting to wear off as reality sets in but that's a guess, logically there has to be a limit to how stupid Citizens are at some point, but I've thought in the past that point was approaching and been wrong.

Wasn't Austin "all hands on deck" for something like finishing a concept ship a week or two ago? At some point all hands on deck means you're just in permanent crisis mode.

It's throwing the coders and individual designers under the bus and making them pay for the mistakes of bad planning or poor leadership/management. I'm surprised at this summation, I thought all software development at one point or another suffered from some sort of "push" simply because no project is ever 100% perfectly planned and managed. Am I wrong? I mean obviously in this case it is stupid as gently caress because usually the "push" comes at the 11th hour when they're about to hit a deadline or milestone. Since Star Citizen has neither, I don't see why they'd even bother lying about being in some sort of "crunch mode". They have no one to answer to, so why would anyone think they're working especially hard? The whales have repeatedly said that if Crobbers takes decades to complete his magnum opus, they'll be happy with that. Io_ posted:At CIG hearing that from Shitloaf just means you shouldn't go near the lavatory for a while.

Am I wrong? In the environment I work in, the summation is pretty dead-on. If an architect has incomplete building plans, no amount of extra effort on the part of the construction workers is going to suddenly fill in that gap. If a project is managed well, even if not 100% perfectly, then you can still usually expect some delays, and some extra programming hours here and there to make up for unforeseen problems in the code. But if it's poorly managed, the managers very frequently will tell clients "the developers are all hands on deck" as a passive-aggressive way to imply that those are the people at fault. In the meantime the managers are scrambling to cobble together the half-assed design documents they failed to provide in the first place, and the devs are sitting there with their dicks in their hands waiting for their marching orders.
