10 for the Developers: Episode 08 May 2, 2016 This is Forrest Stephan, Developer's entire contribution to the first 15 minutes of this episode: Forrest Stephan: Yeah. Yeah. Aw it's INCREDIBLE Yeah. Yeah yeah and down... Yeah. DESERT OR SUMTHING ...and how deep do you go with the design do you have it were when you go to that location it's always raining or do you do it were there's actually some kinda weather happened I mean so I think there's a lot of, uh, things to solve with uh, with the weather No absolutely I've seen it's awesome Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. JAH-NA-RAYSHUN Yeah be cool the artist's still making the assets so the fidelity will be there right it's just a matter of this procedural tech deciding where to populate the uhm PLANTS and the ANIMALS right, I don't see any reason that we can't have the same visual fidelity that we have in the rest of the game Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's just... I think so... just have to be smart about how you author your art and as long as you go for you know a very technical practical approach and optimised approach I think uh uh it's really quite... Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well you know, s'just a matter of MAKE EVERYTHING AS MODULAR AS POSSIBLE th-then you know who knows what you can do right Uhm with the right gameplay code

If she tried more difficult questions  would just find himself "busy" elsewhere and it wouldn't achieve anything, the most visible thing she could do to wake the backers up is just say she's not going to do it anymore and will reconsider if CIG put anything out worth playing.There's no real doubt about it failing anymore, the only thing CIG could do to keep doubt alive is close two studios, say they are changing game engines and push release back to 2020.

GazChap posted:Why are they storing user data in Program Files and not the cunningly named UserData folder, like pretty much everything else does these days? Because it was ok¹ the last time Chris made a game, in the Win98–XP days and no sane or sensible user works with a restricted profile do they? Only silly *nix users and server managers do that, right? It's not as if an entire Windows generation caused years of complications because incompetent fucktard developers failed to adjust for this some 10 years ago, but eventually learned that they had to do it or they would no longer be allowed on the platform… If it weren't so desperately sad, it would be kind of funny how every last idiotic idea in this attempted project can be traced back to software techniques and design paradigms that were slowly growing obsolete in the mid-to-late '90s. It's almost as if the project lead being out of the industry for a decade and a half, and still demanding full control of every aspect of a project, has some hideous consequences for the quality of product. ¹ “ok” meaning it was idiotic and the mark of unintelligent, shortsighted, and amateurish programming, but at least the OS wouldn't complain about it.

If she tried more difficult questions I think she's aware of what's going on too. This is were the YouTube 'thing' comes in, as she is building a YouTube channel. I think a lot of backers are stuck like this, they know they'll get subscribers and plays and generate comments with SC, but frankly Pgabz got more hits in 2 hours with his latest video than Batgirl got in 24 hours with this latest video. She's started putting videos up of Dovetail's Flight School, which is still in beta, built on the FSX engine. Perhaps a sign that the old SC stuff isn't doing so well? At some point she'll have to realise that nobody wants to listen to Ben, he doesn't have a clue, and no one really wants to sit through that poo poo even when CIG do it. When CIG do it on Twitch it's providing background noise for a chat room, where everyone can shill imaginary spaceships and push their referral codes - happened to me every single time I've been in one of those chats. So what will she do? Keep the Ben thing going to try and grow a YouTube audience? Ditch the Ben thing and grow an audience with an actual game? If she really genuinely had any respect for the backers she'd either nail some hard questions on Ben or stop doing it altogether, and to be quite honest I think she'd be a better YouTuber without all the SC baggage.

I don't know if it's intentional or not, but by vilifying Smart in response to an article that doesn't even mention him Chris made it so that backers can justify blaming DS for everything. I've had countless backers bring him up as if merely linking me to DS invalidates any argument I have. Because in their minds it does.

I've had countless backers bring him up as if merely linking me to DS invalidates any argument I have. One of them was posting on the Discord about how you were playing Stellaris and they were saying to come in and wreck of your game. Elix also expressed frustration at the fact that it is illegal to send me death threats. They're dumb kids with too much money. I calculated how much he had put into it and IIRC it was nearly 2k. Funny you should mention about linking any criticism with DS, that was the main argument for the first two or three pages.

Maybe that explains the idiot kid who was making GBS threads up our voice channel a few weeks ago. I feel grief. As a rule whenever a backer brings up DS as an insult to me I just declare victory and move on.

Hezzy posted:Oh hi Yes. It's very bizarre. There are reasonable people there, yet they seem more than happy to serve as prisoner and jailer in a psychological prison. Note to Facepunchers: You've built a jail cell out of fallacies and false dichotomies. If you like being your own jailer more than you long for freedom, well, keep clinging to them. If you'd rather walk away, put them aside and stroll right out. You deserve better, guys. Honestly.
