Well, when they run out of money, you're going to be wishing that they spent that animator's yearly salary on another back-end programmer. So that way, you could have a functioning game that would hopefully have customers to further fund expanded animations instead of a nice collection of animations in a broke rear end game that nobody will ever play or give money to.

Anyone know who made the Stimperor artwork? This picture in particular: Asking as I'd like to use it for art as a playable Stimpire race in a public mod for another game (Stellaris), and thought I should at least make some effort to get the artist's permission/name for credit, rather than just doing a Ryan Archer.

peter gabriel posted:you know, after 6 years of this poo poo, watching WTF dude streaming to 17 people again, loving around in the airlocks at Port Olisisissr again, it's just depressing. WTF's cycle has gotten so depressing that we're tending to avoid talking about him any more, even with his Rockstar poo poo. That's a pretty bad sign. I can only assume he's still doing the same poo poo, day after day, where he goes to the FPS station, grabs a couple cigars, and gets killed. Just sad.

There were crashes previously where the sounds kept playing after all SC stuff had been closed/crashed out. Their sound subsystem seems to be doing something pretty weird. Sounds getting stuck is late 90's Win9x stuff. Requiring admin privileges and writing to the program files directory is also Win9x stuff, so who knows what the gently caress they are actually doing.

lol if any of this is loving truequote:If you are asking then yes. We do use internal accounts to prop up funding numbers. These are not backer only funds. We are encouraged to buy ship packages on a bi-weekly basis. Any monies that come to the coffers via internal employee accounts are counted into that number. This includes managers who end up pledging with caveats. These can be sold personally to third parties without supervision. Large packages are sold at discounted amounts to [employees, contracted employees, certain backers and streamers] for heavy discounts. The full amount is represented in the Funding Tracker.

Tippis posted:The real question is, how much does it cost per kilo to send something into orbit using the space shuttle. Would $140M be enough for, say, Ben? using https://www.rocketbuilder.com it came to 130M for an earth escape shot in Q4 (Merry Christmas Ben!). It only cost that much because I just had to add "Full Spectrum" service. e: I assumed Ben was about 500 lbs for this, so ymmv

My only guess is it's in reference to the German flak 8.8 or 88 - which is self defeating as it's an anti-aircraft platform and referencing it to a space sim game, well, lol The only other pop culture reference is literally NeoNazi referendum, so, good job Roberts.

ManofManyAliases posted:I mean, they get flak for t-posing out and not having adequate stances and animation mixes on their rigs, but when they make an animation to add fluidity to their characters, they get flak as well. They get flak because, instead of fixing all the miriad of T-pose bugs they keep on working on stuff that will probably create even more T-pose bugs. And yes, it is bad to have one artist/designer working on animations and such until you figure out what is causing animations to crap out. The fix may involve something that requires animations to be re-worked, throwing a shitload of work into the trash. It's just like their ship revisions. The artists work on a ship, then either Chris changes his mind or the engine prevents some feature of the ship from working (docking rings, dynamic damage states, etc), so all that work is wasted and new model of a ship is made. It's just incredibly wasteful. You first develop all the tech, fly around in shoebox-looking ships and then, depending on the polygon and texture budget you get from your tests, make the art.

TheAgent posted:lol if any of this is loving true This would make a lot of sense. There was talk awhile back of how streamers always had $600+ chariots to just give away and how the grey market always has stock of any of the ultra limited one time only ships that cost the most. Some of the grey market stores being CIG workers would explain a ton of things. It's impossible to prove too since you could never get an accurate survey of the quantities of the limited ships, or really even find out if Manager #3 was selling $5,000 JPEGs while they weren't available for retail sale, and then more of them got released at a later date.

That would make a lot of sense in a "getting paid without tax" kinda way. You get gifted a ship to sell on the grey-market for working, then no income tax needs to be paid.
