At least all of the showcases and displays for buying items isn't completely wasted effort that could be handled by a menu in 1/1,000,000th of the time they've spent on trying to force Chris Robert's vision of going into virtual stores into the game.

Meanwhile many brick and mortar stores struggle to find a mandate to continue existence in the 21st century.

“That is someone who has their preconceived notions and will settle for something that isn't good enough. The first and the third-person, there were a lot of people on the team who said that you cannot do it. They said it wasn't possible. Illfonic [the contractor building Star Marine] said the same thing. The same with the character stuff: I said we need to do it. And the inventory… it happens right now in [version] 2.4. You can put jackets and trousers on, and caps. There's layering with the armour. So everything that that person told you that couldn't happen, it's all in the game now and it's all at the quality [I asked for]. We've got as good or better than what 1886 has.

“That is an example of people saying 'No, I can't do it' and fighting that corner. They are the people I don't get on with and they are the people who end up not being at the company… If I was going to be clichéd, if it was an American person I'd say I want an Ameri-can, not an Ameri-can't. I want someone who tries [...] because we absolutely can do it. We’re trying to do something that has the fidelity that you see in The Order, or has the fidelity you see in a first-person shooter but has multiplayer online and this huge universe and I absolutely, to the very fibre of my being, know it can happen.

“It's not easy. I think the difference between a great game and an okay game is people that try to do the hard things. It's the JFK speech about going to the moon: We do it because it's hard, not because it's easy. That's what I expect from the team and if the pushback is 'Well, I didn't do this when I was working at this other company', then, well, here we're trying to push it a bit more and if you can't get on board then you're probably not right for the team. I'm sure that I'm not the only game creator who is in that situation occasionally.”

Senior Developer Interview
Anonymous Interview Candidate

— No Offer
-/+ Neutral Experience
+ Easy Interview


Application
I applied online. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Cloud Imperium Games in May 2017.

Interview
I applied online for a Senior Developer role and within a few weeks I was asked to have a Skype interview with the person who would have been my boss. It was an informal chat lasting around 30 mins, talking about my work history. At the end of the chat, the interviewer asked me to forward to them any other demo reels I had and I send them the link, only for them to go un-viewed.

5 and a half months later without any other communication from CIG, I received a form rejection email.


I look forward to playing Star Citizen when it’s done.

Luckily for Chris Roberts this time he doesn't have anyone that can ask him any of those questions.

You should be excited that a genius visionary now has free reign to focus on the real important issues that most game developers just throw in at the end of development as an afterthought. Focusing on this stuff for six years before he even has a proof of concept is just a masterclass in game development.

The best part is we were just talking about how the Z patch for avocados is more hosed than previous patches, and apparently someone just said "gently caress it, put it on the PTU" the day before thanksgiving

so the odds of it being very, very visibly hosed for the entirety of thanksgiving weekend is extremely high
