Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

You know there are tons of goon nerds still into that game, right? I may or may not be one of them.

There's a whole thread for it. The game itself is undergoing a bit of a renaissance, with various enhanced editions, and a whole new chapter recently released.

Hell, that thread is getting maybe 1~2% of the amount of daily posts this one does.

The one by Beamdog? That's one of the few games I've ever bought in advance (the other two being Pillars of Eternity, and the new Torment game I donated to on kickstarter) but something just felt weird about it. I honestly preferred spending a few minutes tinkering around so I could run with the ease of use mod. It's been a few years though, I should give it another shake.

The pc-game sold like crap from what I remember and I think it had a lot of bugs on launch too. Turned into a classic over the time.

I meant the actual D&D setting on which the game is based on, I was a big fan of Planescape setting in itself, besides Torment. Don't know why they dumped it, it was the best setting they ever came up with.

Yeah, after I posted I figured you were probably talking about the setting rather than the PC game. The PC game was effing amazing. I think I do remember a few bugs but it didn't do anything to diminish it for me.

Really? Cause all I've seen since November is tremendous progress. Over the last few months they've released the PU, a bunch more flyable ships, some hanger ready ships, and more patches then most triple AAA developers put together. Plus, their procedural generation stuff is almost done, they just need to integrate it. They have one of the most advanced flight models ever developed for a game and an AI simulation so complex it's never been attempted before. All in less than 1 year of "full" development time.

Scruffpuff posted:

It doesn't really matter at this point if Ben doubles-down, triples-down, or dodecadoubles-down. Nothing about this project really matters at this point, except one thing. Now, there is nothing but Squadron-42, and ultimately Ben, and everyone else in CIG, is to be sacrificed at that altar - burned alive on a stack of $110 million of other people's money. Today's 10FTC reintroduced us to how far removed from reality Chris is - comparing the cobbled-together, spaghetti-coded, dead-end nightmare that currently exists as the PTU to games like WoW and EvE that have been around 10+ years. Well, he's Chris Roberts! Of course his game will also be around for 10 years! Probably more! There is not a single doubt in his mind that it will happen. He wasn't able to make even a single working piece of a game with over 200 times the cash he originally asked for. That's an incredible mark of unparalleled success - the kind of take no prisoners, show 'em how it's done attitude that attracts savvy investors. Squadron-42 will single-handedly reinvent gaming and financially reinvigorate this project, while simultaneously bankrupting traditional game publishers. Days after its triumphant release, Chris will be overwhelmed with phone calls from every major movie producer in Hollywood, begging him to helm - no, WRITE AND DIRECT - whatever he wants. That is a glimpse into this madman's mind, and Ben isn't on it.

Let's do the math with the dates...10 years of gameplay, development started 9 years ago...so as long as they have a download server available by New Year's 2017, they're in the clear.

Let me just say, before you respond. I've made tremendous progress on the fat poo poo I'm going to take tomorrow morning. There's been a bunch more beers, some Mexican food and more cigarettes than most sober people smoke put together. Plus, I've had a xanax and it's almost integrated into the buzz I have going on. I have some of the most advanced toilet paper developed specifically catered to simulations of my barking rear end in a top hat which has never been attempted before. All in less than 24 hours of development time. The only thing getting ruined is my toilet, but trust me, you're not going to see it.
