Thanks all for participating. I'll be PMing the prizes when I get back from work.

I originally thought they'd hit 3.1m. Then I remembered that BitCoin had reached like $5000 and doubled it to 6.2m.

gently caress, imagine someone streaming whatever SQ42 currently looks like in the existing "Star Engine". I can just picture a streamer pulling a Roy Batty as he describes the hypothetical experience. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe! Vanduul attack ships, clipping through Orion. I watched spinny torpedoes whirl in the dark near Taranis gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like like my money in the funding tracker. Time to die. *puts RSI branded gun in mouth, pulls trigger, nothing happens except the decal falls off*

Out of genuine curiosity, what would you consider a workable feature list for such a game?

Everything that was in the original Kickstarter pitch is doable. And I have the tech for all of it. Including space legs, which I have in most of my games.

The only thing my games before LOD don't have, is space legs inside ships and stations. But I have that in LOD.

Same, I'm also curious how Derek would fix some of the issues that are legitimately difficult to solve (nested physics grids) even without Chris Robert's obsession with FIDELITY constantly wrecking everything.

They created that problem. With proper design, it's a non-issue. They didn't have ANY reason to create a Russian doll based physics entity system. And they only had to do it because of the engine they chose.

Correct, and make sure you buy in big, because the bigger your Space JPEG the bigger your dominance will be when the game goes live.

hell yeah.

why do the space suits have the dumb face lights that only exist in movies so that you can see the actors face? its not very immersive having your guy be blinded by little lights all the time. maybe thats why its so hard to see the instruments in the ships.

What do you think is reasonable? I'm thinking about a Super Hornet for dogfighting, and a Hull C cause I like Eurotrucking and that could fund my other aspirations, and an Orion because I always enjoyed resource gathering in other MMOs, and probably an 890 jump or that luxo Constellation because of course I want to occasionally kick back and enjoy my digital life of leisure.

What's that work out to? 1200 bucks? Seems pretty reasonable.

Regardless of your opinion of Derek or his games, this right here is pretty much the be all and end all of the last 6 years of CIG-related development hell. The "they built a roof before building the walls/painted the walls before doing the drywall" analogy has been trotted out more than once but it's worth repeating. Roberts hired carpenters with the intent of building a house, said "wait no I want to build a castle", got angry and fired everyone who said "well, our foundation and first floor is for a house, so if you want to make it bigger we're going to need to start over from scratch", and now everyone is making a massive Chernobyl-esque sarcophagus out of paper maché and elmer's glue, and they're trying to prop that facade up from the inside with a finite number of 2x4s that they keep stealing from people on the other side of the house. And it's starting to rain.

Also there's no carpenters, it's just college grads who majored in basket weaving.

I think the only way Chris spends any time in prison is if you get him on camera as the game is collapsing and prod him into a coke fueled rant on how he innovated a new way to scam money out of nerds that ends with him screaming it was the Best drat Space Scam Ever. Just imagine him making a screwing gesture with his hands as he screams that.

But as is I think Sandi is smart enough to have socked away enough money for their eventual escape into the sunset.

Yeah, that's basically it. I told them that since 2015 :grin:

I know why they needed to do it. It's because they wanted Spergs to be walking around in their chariot as it flies through space. Well, you don't need a Russian doll "physics grid" for that. Heck, they could have license Havok Physics (like we did), overloaded the rubbish physics in CryEngine, and had it solved in under a week.

Gonna want a Starfarer instead of that Hull C my man. Multiple roles means more money and the layout is better for team play. Also drop the 890 to a 600i, it's almost as big, half the price, and just as nice.
