Erin is headed on a freight train to stroke city. The way his weight bounces up and down puts the funding tracker to shame.

Good sausages are good no matter what label you apply, stop labelling sausage. Some of the finest meals I ate in Germany were just bratwurst and some random vegetables served with a very large beer. Kale cooked well is good - I'm a fan of roasted kale with salt and a spice of your choice over it - nice and crispy and flavourful. People tend to overcook brassicas and it's doing them a disservice (tends to make them bitter or mushy).

Dark Off posted:someone needs to adjust the 4th stimpire lore a bit. We joke about how CIG and the backers love to revise how long it's been since work "started" on Star Citizen, but goddamn it really is amazing seeing the real start date spelled out in black and white. CIG have been loving around for 5 1/2 years and still have nothing but a janky tech demo to show for it.

I wouldn't even call it a tech demo anymore, I'd say it's about 6 more major patches away from being a janky proof of concept.

Saladin Rising posted:nothing but a janky tech demo to show for it. I wouldn't go as far as to describe it as a tech demo - which technology is it demonstrating exactly? Collision detection? Physics? Basic movement? Ship flight control and handling? Networking? Combat? AI? Procedural generation? Because none of those work in Star Citizen and most of them were native to CryEngine in 2010. The only way you can get any of the assets to look good in it is to screenshot a single frame before everything jitters and janks and distorts and breaks, then post it to twitter. So no, it's not a tech demo and it's not even close to being at a stage were you can start asking people to find bugs, there isn't a phrase or term for what it is other than a scam. e: they can't even use it to raise funds which is why they use youtube videos and talk shows and by their own admission bespoke showreel demos for the various trade shows.

My greatest failure in life was not being accepted into the guy's Org that wrote the 4th Stimpire text. (He didn't reject me, just never accepted.)

Ship flight control and handling? Networking? Combat? AI? Procedural generation? To me it is the earliest of early access. Early enough to ask for money and just enough that you can see your poo poo (well only a few ships) in game and view the jankiness of it all. It is just enough there for dreams and spergs to show it can work and they can keep throwing money at it and point to as a defense. And the shows just keep the spergs dreaming and moving the pvp slider. As people have said they really dont want things added in just enough to keep them dreaming and a simple foundation that it looks like it is being accomplished. The shows keep feeding them and CR keeps delaying the jesus patches. To me the hangar and the SM were the demo and the mvp is the PU. Is it good nope but just enough to keep the money flowing. I mean if you look at something like Starpoint Gemini 2 who do EA well or others SC is poo poo. intardnation fucked around with this message at 01:25 on Mar 13, 2018 |

What did Chris Roberts ever do to you?

With 3.1 being dumped on the evocati, it’s occurred to me that this might set the pace for this year: 2 months coding and 1 months in testing if they want to follow through Erin’s ‘hell or high water’ promise. With that in mind, that means that CIG have, essentially, 8 months to code every single planned feature in their roadmap for 2018. This is including ‘theoretical’ code like Object Container Streaming, Network bind/unbind, server meshing, etc. Not to mention that they have no way of knowing whether the game will break when they try to introduce larger planets like Hurston and that there’ll likely have to be a period following public release where they’ll have to fix bugs. Something tells me that they’re going to miss quite a few targets this year.

I truly believe that they won't even be able to stick to the quarterly patches, even if they keep pushing features to the following patch. They've pulled this kind of crap before.
