A Neurotic Jew posted:it really does sound like he hinting at starting over with the engine without directly saying it. huge if that's what this is about. I'm having the same impression.. a lot of reworking things... and a lot of stuff happening backend. Re-working the component system... ( even tho it still doesn't exist ) No need to fix the old system.. we are working on the new system???

So, their next generation netcode will only need to send changed states as opposed to re-sending everything over the network. Too bad they can't use similar technology to break up the game pak files and get the patch sizes down below 20 GB.

Glad they are gonna model the power being carried around the ship and have fuses blow from power surges which require you to go replace the fuses. Just wouldn't be a good game without that. Also that will totally make it into the game and is not bullshit he just made up on the spot.

G0RF posted:Yeah-- and I'm willing to even believe it. But the fact that inside reports are telling us he's completely deluded about everything is a potential indicator that the ship leaks from the top. I still think we will see warning signs, leaks, defections, etc. before a collapse because the very parties who think he's in cloud cuckoo land would be making their way for the exits before the deluded one crashed it into a hillside. Just listen to him. He's off his rocker. Toops is making a parody game, and he's feeling the need to refactor after creating 70 classes. I consider C++ to be my native language, I also code in assembly, and make my living writing analysis suites for program source and object code. I write code that both puts together and takes apart programs. With this background, I still can't even begin to imagine how they could ever come any where near delivering what Roberts is saying. The entire enterprise has evolved into just holding everything together. It may go off in an instant.

XK posted:He literally said the initial persistence would involve your credit balance, and your ship load out. Like, really, come on. I've seen Game of Life implementations in GWBasic with more persistence than the shitshow CRobber is describing. I can only assume that — once again — Chris has no idea what this common online game term means, and has simply looked it up in his near-pristine 1990 edition of Webster's. Sickening posted:So Roberts just said something that I find to be absurd. He states that desync happens because the FPS of the server drops to be less than your client and then you desync. What the bloody hell? Why would the server be rendering anything fps related? Does he know what the gently caress he is talking about at all? He doesn't mean “FPS” in the sense of “frames rendered” — he means server simulation ticks. The server tries to update the world state at 30 Hz. To survive and smooth things out between updates, the client runs a local world simulation that tries to predict what will happen between these ticks. Neither has anything to do with what we conventionally think of as “frames per second.” Tippis fucked around with this message at 19:57 on Mar 30, 2016 |

never not post - i think there's no way i bother catching up on 2700 pages of hilarious shitposting mixed with doom just to see if anything like this brainfart has been posted before... i'm sure it has, so... sorry. what has been CIG's mean cashflow and balance since they started? all that free, non-interest cash they've had thrown after them... how much credit would an investment bank lend a company based on that cashflow? and against what security or how much future dividend of potential sales? what risk would an investment bank be willing to accept? maybe CIG still have plenty of credit thanks to an investment bank supporting them with cheap loans against potential future sales? maybe this bank isn't even in that much of a hurry to get their payout? they've had a steady cashflow for a while and they're only really co-financing it together with some UK gov support scheme that don't even want a dividend of sales - cause they're happy with taxes or whatever. and for how long would an investment bank be willing to wait without cashflow for a game to ship so they would get paid? hell, isn't there also a studio in Germany? what kinda cross national EU tax break or art support or film support or export credit financing support or whatever bureaucratic government scheme... can they exploit for credit support then? maybe an investment bank and their lawyers would know? one hundred and eleven million dollars in pure cash over 5 years do tend to attract some strange people. and investment banks. cash attracts banks. idk, i haven't seen any financial data, or read anything about whatever deals they may or may not have made other than i've seen that cash-raised-thingy they have on their webpage. ...i just think maybe it's a bit naïve to think any company wouldn't have plenty of bank credit after a cash run like that...? or maybe i'm all wrong in assuming anything and don't know what's happening? or maybe they have no business acumen whatsoever and this whole dirty thing is too dirty for any bank? idk - some people have sources - apparently. the tension is continously growing. i do know :croberts: is from a place where friends matter - i'm lucky to know some good people from that area of the world. and he's being a somewhat righteous dude to them despite everything else - management-wise or otherwise. at least he's taking care of his bro and childhood/youth buddies that work at- and manage their companies. although maybe not so much his US wingman... he also financed a Manchester UK production company with a Hollywood PR departement for a few years - at a minimum - and on sweet sperg cash to boot  or maybe it was all so they could have a good, loooong, coke-fuelled party together with Gary Oldman?  maybe - against whatever reasonable thinking or evidence presented in this thread (like i said, i did not read this whole monster)- this game actually gets released at some point and :croberts:, his bro, his wife and all his Manchester friends are gonna cash in 20-50% of whatever sales they manage on top of having had a job in their own companies for 4-8 years or whatever? maybe that's a big what-if? 50% of zero is still zero. at least the government support schemes will probably take care of the debt to the banks. at least they had a salary while his wife ruled her queendom through terror and guile. idk maybe they forgot to call the bank? there seems to have been some indications of incompetence, poor management decisions and frantic public dog-wagging in this whole process so, who knows? i still think/ am afraid this game will never come out and i think that would be kinda sad. that squadron 42 thing with co-op they used to promise sounded sweet. fake edit: maybe i should have taken the  to read the thread after all - this poo poo can't be right?faker edit: this thing..! WoW!
