Is the long-haired ex junkie really in charge of the MMO bit of this thing? And he's the 'architect' for their super-advanced AI plans? My god.

Eurotruck Simulator 2 is a good game as long as you turn off the speed limiter and use the in-game music player to stream cheesy French radio stations while you blast across Europe at 200+kph with a shipping container full of toxic waste

German gamers are some of the weirdest cultural groups I've come across in gaming. They LOVE tedium and grind, for some reason, and will happily play the most boring as gently caress work simulator. I have no idea why it's a thing, but it really is.

I was doing my nightly chakra tuning and vision exercises when I was given an SC vision:

The money has run out and the backers are demanding to see the game, their offices are mostly empty from 2 months of unpaid salaries. The only people left are wide eyed and unsure what to do. Disco Lando is emailing all the higher ups on instructions of how to proceed but getting no responses.

A week of this goes by and suddenly a message appears on RSI, it says in so many words that sorry we cannot continue working on the game. Citizens rush to the grey market to find that traders have been selling things at 10% cost for weeks. They hurriedly email CS to ask what is going on and for refunds, there is no answer.

Minor chaos ensures, barely a ripple in the all. We gather around this thread like the end of Ocean's 11, each nodding silently to each other and heading off back to our own lives.

Sept 2012, Obsidian kickstarts their Pillars of Eternity game. Oct 2012, mush mouth kickstarts his.

March, 2015, Obsidian releases Pillars to high reviews. 2 additional DLCs have since been released.

Today, Obsidian announced the sequel and opened its crowd-funding page. Estimated release is q1, 2018. Will they finish their second game before cig gets even a single ep of sq42 out?

So why would they buy the ships that means that you don't have to grind them out in game ...... if you have the ships, what is the point of the in game work you do?

You load the cargo bays by hand, piece by piece, than take off for the 18 hour flight to the destination, passing time with your ship mates by playing poker or fixing individual parts of the ship that break.

These are things backers are looking forward to.

So here is another one of the hits off of that search:

On the moon launch timeline in their fifth year CIG has so far managed to make a scale model of the lunar rover by sticking a plaster shell onto an existing RC car which now can go a few feet before running out of battery, and the nose cone for the nonexistent rocket is polished to a high sheen and made out of a metal that's easy to polish but would never withstand launch pressures.

So if this is the Apollo Program, that means only 4 more years until Star Citizen comes out.

But this is the Pre-Alpha, so I'm thinking Mercury. That would be 7 years.
