Who was that dude who said Derek abused his daughter or something, was it screenshotted?

That's redchris18 of "accused DS of raping his daughter", "I see him with a dash of Tranny Magnet too", "I bet his daughter is already calling mummy's new boyfriend "daddy"", "If I was his daughter and I found this crap I'd never speak to him again" fame.

The screenshots are somewhere in the thousands of pages of the other thread. :effort:

You clearly don't understand game development

Yes, keeping Sq42 from the gaming media before release, effectively a review embargo, is a good thing

CIG let slip that they hope to start work on essential systems for 3.0 and SQ42 "later in the year"

I don't get it. If they have 3XX people performing various tasks, and some were hired specifically for work on flight mechanics, art, ships, etc., why can't these people just do that? Does every need to be pulled off to work on tasks outside of their job responsibility?

What's key for the next few updates are:

-Delta patching
-Network code refactor
-Zoning/instancing in the mega-map
-3.0

i have it on good authority that there's supposed to be some sort of decent update to the network code by the time 2.6.2 drops. And, I don't think we'll see many more updates to 2.6.xxx until 3.0. Other than that, I'm thinking that they are still chugging away on intricate systems without divulging too much of those details to the general public. They've received ridicule enough for unveiling something pivotal too early, so outside of evocati, I cannot imagine they'll do it again.

Clearly the most open development of any gane ever. So open they cant talk about anything any more.

If you find yourself developing a language when you started developing a piece of software, something has gone horrendously wrong.

:ohdear: oh lordy. You know how they say "don't roll your own crypto"? I think similar can be stated for your pet project language. Don't use it in production. Certainly not for anything important like "cloud-oriented service architecture"

That or this is pure Chris Roberts dreamed up hype. But he would never do that.

Do you know what is cooler than using a cool programmer guy language like haskell or scala? Writing your own! You've got to shave that yak before you get your cloud architecture in order.

I recommend reading the Studio Report thoroughly and seeing how many red flags you can spot. I was going to compile a list but it was just too much.

There's also this extremely reassuring item in the Production Schedule Report:

To you guys the game seems to get more elaborate around us; it's building up, we're ripping out guts and rebuilding them so they no longer function anymore.

And also, but I would guarantee that whatever Star Citizen is in 2 months, 6 months or 12 months you are not going to miss what's in the current version.


I'd wager citizens will be irate when they found out star citizen no longer exists compared what's in the current version there ben

It's probably pretty hard to serialize your program state when your program is a patchwork quilt of make-it-work-now hacks.

Oh hey, Chris finally put some guy in charge of inventing his impossible cloud-mesh dream. Am I worried this is just coming out now and is obfuscated by buzzwords? No. I'm sure him and his "Backend Team" of 3 other network engineers will knock this out in no time. Besides "netcode" is something 2.6.2 is supposed to fix.
