I particularly liked the desync on all the scoring and round timers.


Anyone got the screenshot for the graph immediately following their stream this time last year?

I checked the other thread for this time last year and nobody screenshot the graph apparently. You can use that google doc with obsessive daily + hourly tracking of the funding to see what happened this time last year though. A comparison might not be fair since they released 2.0 last year and had Idris / Javelin limited release sales at the same time. All they have this year is a copy pasted ship and a big bunch of delays.

I did see this from this time last year though

No SQ 42

2.6 delayed
3.0 delayed.

"Its poo poo"

i know we usually say so, but this time its closer to the truth. Technical delay mid-stream, hot mikes, buggy/glitchy demos, sound problems galore. General uneasiness from the various actors, everyone looking tired. Way too much emphasis on the sale. For about 3 minutes the chat stream semi-revolted, clamoring for refund, one comments out of two deleted in chat.

10 minutes before the livestream started, they sent out a newsletter. It said the SQ 42 vertical slice is permanently shelved because its pointless to work on a demo. It also begged for cash. Also 2.6 aint comin out this year even though they decided not to shut down the studios for the year like they usually do to work on it.

The highest polished thing on the stream was the ship commerical. Stream was a technical disaster even for CIG. They literally sat on a couch for 40 minutes talking about 3.3 in vague rear end terms about poo poo that doesn't even exist on paper, just in a brainstorming room.

Wait wait customer support is now in austin? I thought they moved that to LA. No wonder we havent been seeing the regulars, they are probably being relocated

CS moved to Austin? They're hurting for money bad if that's true.

Maybe they're only shifting a few staff where it makes sense to save on salaries (pay is lower in Austin I assume) but I wonder if this isn't the start of LA closing. Even clown stimperium games could figure out that a very expensive LA office housing some of the most useless dead weight in your organisation could be closed to save a lot of money without impacting the actually important work (what little there is of it so far anyway).

Seriously the salt from some of the 4 biggest shills is amazing. Theyre all wasted and when they sober up theyll go back to what they are but its like watching Hitler make a drunken speech on how Jews are pretty awesome actually.

Quite a different tune they sing now that they are off the payroll.

I dunno but I doubt it, Thomas Hennessy did the Citizen Con excuse video and he's gone. Plus there's not long left now, release a cut down and crap 2.6, then try to scrape something together to show at Games Com is my bet.

The LTI sale a few weeks after 2.6 ships should be interesting, assuming they even manage to ship a cut down 2.6.

I think you might have missed the part where despite the fact that INN as an entity was definitely getting paid to shill for SC, they themselves weren't actually seeing any of that money (and the straw the broke the camel's back was the dude who was getting paid refusing to let them cover other games that might actually have a real audience)


they're still massive, massive shills who ultimately hoped to profit from their association with the game, but it's something they don't need money to do

e: though you're right they could have been lying about that too- I just have seen enough people pour tons of effort into uncompensated shilling for doomed games to find it totally plausible these guys did it too

They've dug such a big hole with that lti poo poo they've had to promise anti theft devices to lower insurance costs and sell more jpegs.

Can't get rid of lti, but by retaining it and not having it on every ship you might be putting off potential customers who don't want to pay for a virtual item they could lose permanently. So they need to really press home the message that insurance isn't a big deal while still being able to sell lti pictures for extra cash.

Yea they have day jobs and were getting cash from a patreon. They didnt get paid by CIG because they called themselves "journalists". Rubes basically.

CIG must have massive, doomsday level problems in their performance capture, modeling, and animation pipelines. It's been a full year now since they showed any hint of SQ42 cast in-game with John Rhys-Davies' character model spinning in place on the last holiday live stream. And the last character in motion they showed was in the Old Man teaser a month or so before that.
