Yea, i'd consider pulling the cake out of the oven if it was a crowdfunded cake and many of the ingredients weren't mine... and multiple people were concerned because i kept reaching into the oven anyway to add extra toppings and berries to the top of the cake... and someone kept yelling at me to just bake the drat cake.

No, dammit! Don't use that build, use the Lumberyard build! Don't ask why, just loving do it! I don't care if it's not ready yet, just patch what you can right now! Push the stream back if you have to, just get it done! And if any lawyers call, tell them I'm not in today!

I have a super secret source inside cig and he/she just txt'd me that crobbits was insisting on playing 3.0 live on the stream because Derek did his live stream of UC or whatever and Chris thinks he needs to 1-up Derek. Everyone told him he was loving insane and walked out, thus the delay.

SomethingJones posted:gently caress me, FDev can stroke out a livestream at a week's notice using the live game, a dev build, whatever - and pull it off every single time without fuss. And you just discovered the problem.  If they had a game, just playing it would be good. But they have a highly doctored cutscene. It takes lots of people and kajiggering to make a cutscene look good. Making a cutscene look like somebody is actually playing a game is also super hard. Harder than it would be to just play the game. The only niggle there is you need a game.

big nipples big life posted:He's made tons of good games. Just the whole "Is it fun? *waves hand, sparkles everywhere* Let's go see" is like a Disney movie. I know you're joking around but I'm in a rather pedantic and condescending mood, so forgive me: I see it more as a leader whose every decision, every action is moving towards one goal: building video game that will be considered fun by the people who play it. How do you do that? By creating an environment where working code is built as often as possible to provide gameplay feedback, and that feedback drives your development iterations. The technical poo poo doesn't matter as an end in itself. "- moons" is not progress unless it yields fun, playable content that feels good. Now, contrast that with CIG. They roll out some shiny bullshot trailer of a planetary landing, with no grounding in anything playable or real, and in Chris's mind, that's literally Mission Accomplished. Meanwhile, 11 months later when you finally get a build, you just noclip down to a wet towel draped over a sphere for 16 minutes at 8.3 FPS, and when you get there, there's loving nothing to do.

Spiderdrake posted:I mean I always thought Tim Schafer demonstrated that many game developers do, in fact, benefit from a publisher (the guy got dunked on by Bobby Kotick of all things) but CIG is like a mile high altar with great burning statues and incense that smells oddly like farts to the reality of AAA publishers and how important they are. Yeah publishers are project managers, effectively: You can have good ones, and you can have bad ones, and sometimes having a bad one is worse than not having one at all, but that's more a commentary on "why good ones are important" and not "why it's useless to have one"

I think by now it's common knowledge that all Chris wanted to do was get him and his wife in a studio with actual actors to pretend to direct them. It should have been glaringly obvious when that was the very first thing he loving did, when it should have been the very last. "Making a video game" was just the excuse - the story he told people that made getting and paying all these actors possible. The game was an afterthought - something he'd Crobble together like spider-threaded wisps of pure poo poo floating through the breeze, getting caught in the cultists' throats, giving them a bad cough and a case of rear end-breath, for which they are very thankful.

Toops posted:Yeah I’m getting that distinct “uh oh, I’m being wrong on the internet and digging in again” feeling, so I concede. One thing I’ll never do is try to fight you about being wrong. You are super smart and have a huge amount of game development experience that I’ll never ever compare to. You are also a great poster and I have always loved reading your thoughts and insights. Keep on doing what you’re doing! And yeah, it can go either way. It doesn’t need to look like Hamill. But then why go to the lengths they’ve gone through? I don’t know. I’m also not a big wig Hollywood director driving a Porsche. I think everybody wants CIG to focus on gameplay over looks, but they don’t. And when they go to such huge strides to look great, even going so far as to blatantly lie to people about what things look like... when you see the real deal and it’s hilariously off target... what can you say? It’s all good. I’m pretty sure there will never be a game product to ever come from this, so this may be as close as we ever get to seeing it for real.

loving CIG, I've had the worst case of blueballs since their bullshit, boring, playing-it-safe anniversary stream and these assholes delay the holiday one. It's extra bad because goons turned out in force and the thread is moving at the speed of sound. It's like everyone turned up for a concert a couple of hours early to drink beer and have fun but then the band didn't show up, so we're just hanging around talking poo poo while finishing our alcohol. It's not even 100% a metaphor, I've literally been drinking alcohol since the kids fell asleep in anticipation of this disaster. OH and by the way... a loving TANK? Like their mountain of engineering debt wasn't high enough, now they have to include ground combat with gameplay value AND make it so there's situations where deploying a god drat tank is the strategically sound decision. Do these people know anything at all about tank warfare? I mean, it's not just a beach buggy with a giant cannon you send out for shits and giggles. Also, you have literal destroyers and carriers and poo poo that can, at will, enter atmosphere of seemingly any planetoid. Why the gently caress would you need to deploy slow, ground-bound artillery units? What the gently caress could they offer a combat situation that a loving corvette with some kickass space gun couldn't? Stand by for the loving Orbital Bombardment pledge incentive rendering literally everything planetside obsolete in their lovely imaginary poo poo stupid poop game loving melting down over stream delay, sorry
