At least Crobbers tried! I am a family man and support Crobbers dreams because uhm hang on my wife is saying something to me.... divorce!?

Tokamak posted:In project management, a death march is a project that the participants feel is destined to fail, or that requires a stretch of unsustainable overwork. The general feel of the project reflects that of an actual death march because project members are forced to continue the project by their superiors against their better judgment.

You have to love how people are disappointed at not seeing SQ42. Yet we all know once it's released the project is over - no one but paid off reviewers will be able to see anything redeemable in Chris' "vision" of terrible acting and zero gameplay.

Yet we all know once it's released the project is over - no one but paid off reviewers will be able to see anything redeemable in Chris' "vision" of terrible acting and zero gameplay. I don't think they will even make it to Squadron 42 now. I've really been waiting for it to release to be like a new age "Daikatana" or something. But if they need to release parts of Squadron 42 to be able to fund Star Citizen and make their money back, yet the game is still so broken and hosed that they can't even show a trailer of it? They can fake AI like they did in citcon, but to not be able to even show the game that must mean the animation is broken. The animation that leaks have repeatedly said, from multiple people, is broken. The animation that cost $70,000,000+ dollars. They are at the point where the only thing they have to use is this $70,000,000+ in motion capture, but the whales aren't paying them enough to actually fix it / make it work / utilize it due to a multi year campaign of idiot decisions by Chris Roberts. Such as picking the worst possible engine, the stupidest possible way to present the game, and to develop it completely backwards. I think we hit Peak Whale sometime earlier this year, and this is just the whales starting to realize it. Backers can no longer fund the costs of what Crobblers is doing and the goodwill and time he has been able to buy with lies has run out. So now his hilariously overblown costs for hilariously stupid development decisions is going to be met with a sharp funding decrease and possible refund cascade. I'd say this might be it. Backers probably have another month or two before/during possible downsizing before the stoppage of paychecks to wrestle their money out of this dumpster fire.

I know ZenMaster said he's on it as well, but I went ahead and backed up the stream as well: https://mega.nz/#!7ZMERIKJ!CFaMnWemVXvclMEFm8RN49Pr36tj9M3wGhjHpax9vpA Sorry for the flash-video (.flv) format, turns out that's the default in OBS Studio.

I wonder if that has something to do with it? Chris would probably suffer some kind of mental breakdown if he released a chunk of his magnum opus and it got savaged. So he's trying to make it absolutely perfect (Within his own limited vision of perfection) to keep what's left of his ego intact, and never have to face reality that nobody wants him as a storyteller.

Okay so this might be immediately obvious to most of you, or I'm just rehashing old poo poo but today I was able to put everything together: When Citizens say there is a separate 3.0 being worked on alongside 2.x builds, they are correct. It dawned on me that TZ is solely responsible for all promised gameplay features of 'Star Citizen', and is considered 3.x. But they also handle everything for SC server side, which in an MMO I'm guessing is pretty much the whole game. When the other studios say the 'netcode' or 'backend' isn't up to snuff, they are talking directly about Tony and his team in Austin. Tony had to get Items 2.0 working because CIG LA wanted to sell clothes. Tony has to get '64bit positioning' working because CIG LA wanted to show a demo that looked 'seamless'. Tony has to work on 'AI subsumption' because Foundry is trying to make SQ42 but there's no AI, probably a crucial component to get any kind of demo out. I'm sure Tony and his team are right now hard at work trying to get the server end of Star Marine to work. That's all he's been working on. Mining, cargo, VIP transport, news van, whatever whatever are literally just ideas because they are. Citizens think its all been worked out, and that 3.0 is ready to go it just needs to be 'hooked up' to art assets. I can see why now, except lol it's not.

This was brought up earlier but it looks like they spliced together footage for star marine, there was a 30s difference every time they switched from an American player feed to a UK player feed.

   Astroneer is cute and fun and half the price of CIG's cheapest JPEG. I posted a few more pics here: http://imgur.com/a/btweI edit: They have a public roadmap. You know, something that doesn't look entirely like magical thinking. I just now played it for the past four hours straight and had a blast. There is still plenty to do.

"What could only be described as streaming amateur hour, the stream was extremely cringeworthy. Not only was the audio either not working or out of sync for much of the stream, but the whole first part was simply terrible. The commentary over the 2.6 gameplay in the first section was embarrassing, and why anyone would want to watch the devs challenge each other on the race tracks for a large chunk of the stream is a mystery." http://www.pcinvasion.com/star-citizen-holiday-stream-squadron-42
