Those are just some sculptures he did. Means he can actually sculpt which is cool.

What's not cool is having to fix a dashboard of some asset that was sold last year and shouldn't need fixing since it's not even in the game(s).

Also Ubisoft just announced Beyond Good and Evil 2, which seems to just be Star Citizen with a better artstyle.

A "seamless online world" where you can travel down to cities and fly around in massive capital ships.

That's quite a departure.

Star Citizen is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it's fidelity when you look out your window or when you watch youtube


Why is the updated dashboard part of "ShipGraveyard"? It's maybe a special derelict model for found wrecks, or something like that? It doesn't look like he's working on the dashboard. It looks like he's working on a wreck.

I do like how all the extensions are "cry".

Okay I thought you were just saying "it's comparable to SATABall" but wow it really looks like the same thing. Were these the people contracted by CIG to make that game mode, and this is some cheap asset reuse? Or was Chris's vision just a completely generic ripoff of Ender's Game to the point that people working in parallel came up with exactly the same style?

I've endured enough of this shitshow that I'd rather it fail in whatever manner hurts the least amount of people still working for CIG. A sudden collapse isn't going to do anything but generate tons of schadenfreude and gently caress over real people with real bills to pay because Roberts is a scamming parasite. The backers who are left are a lost cause, and even if the game collapses they'll still hold on to the faint vestige of hope that maybe another company will pick up the flag or they could do some idiotic community generated effort. Nevermind that the gaming industry has already seen the space game market blow up, get saturated to the point where loving Call of Duty embarrassed themselves with an attempt, and move on to whatever's next (maybe if CIG actually went to E3 instead of lying about hoping to attend they might notice that).

So yeah, let's see Squadron 42. Let's see the masses enjoy Chris Robert's magnum opus.

So Beyond Good and Evil 2 has been announced (gently caress YES) by Ubisoft but apparently it's just a clone jumping on the bandwagon of Star Citizen's enormous success. :allears:

It wouldn't call it an SC clone, AAAs just realized how much money they were missing out on by not making space games so they let a developer actually innovate.
Cool world, but every single thing was CGI, I'm waiting for actual gameplay.

Really looking forward to Beyond Good and Evil 2, a real space game with actual character and story that'll pretty much be 100% possibility of being released without sucking a bunch of nerds wallets dry.

Anything that is a :reddit: percieved threat to SC (basically any game that has ships and/or basic gameplay) is just a clone of SC, even though SC is likely years behind on development. The fact that they have an obvious fear of BGaE2 being an actual game that gets actually released just makes it even better. :D Ah, :reddit: , you guys are always so cute when you're feeling threatened by real competancy.

They can spot CGI when it isn't CIG making it, yet cannot detect it when CIG do nothing but CGI :D

Couple of quid on Steam, it's quite an old game now and has the obvious tarnish of older games, but it's a good solid and fun sci fi bash. :) Also it's still way more of a game than SC will ever be :)

It's funny how development has gone from Simultaneous development and release of the MMO and Squadron 42.

Then to a lengthened alpha stage for the MMO and release of Squadron 42.

Then to the MMO seemingly being forgotten with all releases about Squadron 42 motion capture.

Then talk of the Squadron 42 prelude with Squadron 42 pushed back.

Then talk of the prelude being pushed back, The MMO completely forgotten.

Now a focus on hacking together a 3.0 release as soon as possible for the MMO.

It's pretty obvious what is going on. They keep having less and less money with which to develop and have been reacting by refactoring the development. To the point where now their only hope is to hack out a 3.0 to monetize backers enough to hack out the prelude to monetize backers enough to hack out Squadron 42 to monetize backers enough to hack out Star Citizen.

I'm torn between wanting to see Squadron 42 and just having an abrupt collapse one of these days when checks start bouncing and they have nothing to show for it because of the terrible management that's brought things to this point.

Yes, that's basically the game plan now apparently.
