Daztek posted:Edit: Wow, still a bit early to call though. Probably need to see the next couple days etc, but... Will this be the inevitable funding inflexion point in SC? Will we at some point in the future be able to look back at the Starfarer sale and say: "See, son, that is when everyone started to wake up". Either way I agree with the views that this will not be a sudden stop but a slow and gradual process. As a certain wise man put it some time ago over an actual critical inflexion point in history in North Africa: "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." MedicineHut fucked around with this message at 12:00 on Mar 27, 2016 |

Did some work on posting the StarTraders bullshit on reddit and other sites they use as reference. Doubt it will get any traction with only a couple of hours left but doing the right thing feels good. http://fg-2.com/2016/03/15/interview-with-david-ladyman-of-origincloud-imperiumtraders-luck-games/ http://www.dicegeeks.com/star-traders/#comment-6624 https://www.reddit.com/r/shittykickstarters/comments/4c58lu/startraders_board_game_uses_stolen_artwork_to/ https://www.reddit.com/r/boardgames/comments/4c59bx/startraders_board_game_uses_stolen_artwork_to/ and a couple of others i am too lazy and sick to link.

I will feel genuine grief once this whole thing falls apart completely, after our long period of gloating, making fun of the remaining cultists, and long-rehash of critical events in the timeline which led to the destruction of CIG and Chris Roberts' reputation. I imagine that could even go on for at least a year after Chris publicly blames Derek Smart for the failure of the project and announces he is moving back to movie production. This has been the greatest thread in Something Awful forum history. What will I do when it's gone?

Hey guys and gals. I've decided to bite the bullet and make myself an avatar pic. After a lot of work (I'm not much of an artist), I created the following, but I can't decide which one to use. Maybe you could help me out and let me know which one you think is best. If I remember correctly, the image needs to be 100k or below, which proved to be more of a challenge than I thought. However with very careful use of GIMP, I think I was able to retain legibility while keep the file size down.            Despite the sweat and tears, I actually found it quite enjoyable to create these, and am seriously considering becoming a professunal digital autist

I like how the player instantly gains all the thrust from the ship when he floats over it. Its like there is a physics grid that surrounds the ship an you gain it just by getting near it.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:i love it when any one of them really, honestly, unironically subscribes to the idea that people are willingly going to (pay $30 to) walk into this space ship flight sim game and RP mopping the floors of someone's $5,000 autism chariot for a month or two until they can afford a fighter, and also think that the mopper will get paid a fair wage because if the chariot-owner didn't pay them then word would get around and then you wouldn't be able to hire anyone else to rp mopping the floors To be fair, most of those guys are probably powerless husks of human beings in real life and paid for their autism chariots by maxing their credit cards, so the idea of being important enough others would work for you must be their major fantasy. Ursine Catastrophe posted:i also wonder how many of these guys are libertarians of the "indentured servitude isn't technically slavery and it should totally be legal if two consenting adults enter into a contract where someone's getting paid under minimum wage and you should be grateful you have a job at all" flavor The existence of people like this makes me glad laws are in place to prevent some poor dumb bastard from selling away his freedom or life to a Captain of Industry.

Isn't this guy a concept artist? I thought it was their MO to copy and steal and draw over and all that other junk to get concepts out as fast as possible. Is this not a case of him not realising that internal concept art is the only place where that is appropriate? Of course, your portfolio would be filed with original works, not traces and poo poo. Or your actual loving public work. What is going on? Is this real life?

Dapper Dan posted:I think its like I said before, they are in a cascade failure and pulling out anything and everything to try and stop it, which won't work. I wouldn't be surprised if they stop letting people use store credit for a period of time on new ships as they come out. I agree. But though it would cause a major uproar, I think they will just ignore it, and ride the storm. The token and melting are really hurting them now. That's what happens when bad decisions come home to roost. Thing is, since they are well aware that they're in a cascade, I don't think they care anymore who they piss off. It's just the End Of Days money grab now.

Is this not a case of him not realising that internal concept art is the only place where that is appropriate? Well yeah sort of, the idea is to either come up with something from your head or the designer, or look to other stuff as inspiration. But even an early crude sketch should never be lifted completely from something else, ever. Any good artist should have been able to draw a woman standing in some sort of flight gear like that with little to no reference, let alone copying/tracing over something. This guy is a lovely artist, no doubt about it. Saying it's 'concept art' is not carte blanche to just steal poo poo wholesale. And anyway this stuff isn't concept art anyway; this is promotional art, it's not internal concept art not intended to be distributed or seen, it's front and center in the campaign! This guy most likely had plenty of time to create interesting planets, characters, and all sorts of stuff without having to steal them from other artists piecemeal. This guy is just a lazy hack, that's the problem, and they all hoped they could get away with it. KiddieGrinder fucked around with this message at 13:06 on Mar 27, 2016 |

Is this not a case of him not realising that internal concept art is the only place where that is appropriate? well there's two types of concept art: the "take real pictures and slice them to the point of unrecognizability" environmental concept art, and the "sketch up a dude in an outfit, copy-paste it 20 times and make 20 different tweaks" character/outfit concept art. note how both of these require some modicum of skill in art. also note how none of those are "Ctrl-C a picture from deviantart, slap someone else's head on it and call it finished"

Yeah, because that's normal. Or honest. After going on the record and saying - several times - that the project could still be finished if funding dried up. Yeah, OK quote:The $250 Vanduul Blade goes on sale just 1 week ago… a “flyable ship” sale added to it, and out comes Patch 2.3.0 with another ship sale. No, not desperate at all.

Scruffpuff posted:My guess based on two events: Erin visiting the LA office, and Chris visiting the UK office. Something is wrong with SQ42. They hit some kind of critical blocker - something that deeply threatens their ability not only to reach a release date, but possibly release anything at all. Chris was in the UK to wave his hands around and think he's "directing" the project, and Erin was in the US getting with the team who knows anything at all about the janky code he's trying to build a game from, hoping to take back any information he can to help him move this shitshow along. Erin is exec producer for all the teams. He took over from Alex Mayberry. Also, he doesn't need to be in the US - in person - to talk to the US team about dev. That's why they have been using conference (Skype once in awhile) calling software for sometime now. No, he's in the US for specific - and completely different - reasons. That is all.

Scruffpuff posted:I'm going by a recent video they released that had developers in LA talking about how much trouble they were having with ship physics and whatnot. They were changing numbers all over the place and the physics would work, then not work, then work again, and they had no idea why any of it was happening. So there is something going on in LA. I can't say what percentage of their work is making it into the code builds, though. With development this open, it's hard to tell anything that's going on. LOL!! Remember back when the Spergs were all rejoicing that Foundry42 (Frankfurt), made up of ex-CryTek guys "who wrote the CryEngine" were going to make it all better? And I said: yeah, that's bullshit. Here we are commandos.
