Why not Star Trek or Star Wars? He could happily discuss how lovely discovery is with his fellow nerds, but no, he chose to become a "Wing Commander Historian" As we speak of Ben, what is the current narrarive on the citizen front there? Is he still doing remote work for Cig?

ggangensis posted:I doubt that CIG has the know-how to properly integrate Raytracing into CryEngine 3. But okay, let's assume they give this task to a junior dev that reads up on this stuff and has some more-or-less workable solution ready to go in a year or so:  Company X announces feature Y, CIG makes an announcement that they too will also have feature Y, with no thought process on weather it's feasible or doable. Talk about it for 10 months of the year in videos and twitter, then either release sub-par poo poo or it never went beyond the video discussions, either reason is due to incompetence of what are basically 1st timers who have less development experience than people who sell asset flips on steam or just Chris having read a new thing and thinking it should be worked on instead. Look at their pro-generation planets BS they have been spouting for 3 years now, it's not even close to what is considered progen.

hottubrhymemachine posted:edit: conspicuous by their absence were the A lister hollywood celebs from squadron 42, i’d have thought their tier 0 mark hamil and gillian anderson would be front and center. instead we got nothing... wonder what’s going on there. i’d love to be a fly on the wall... Awhile back someone pointed out that we hadn't seen much of Anderson in awhile, and someone speculated that perhaps they had been licensed for a single film or work and that when they posted all those videos on youtube that used the license and they'd have to pay them again to actually use them in the game too, or that they could use them in Star Citizen but not SQ42. It seems a bit of a stretch but man I really really want that to be true. It would be so amazing if Roberts paid millions to play director and hire famous people to dance around in pajamas for him, only to gently caress up the legalese so he can't even use what he filmed. (Which, honestly, may even be an intentional plan to have an excuse for why the footage never sees the light of day, because it was baaaad)

But, yeah, sometimes I think that even the devs of Hentai Sniper or Harem Trigger are more capable than CIG, the comparison to steam asset flips is actually quite on point, only difference is that CIG has really, really expensive assets, the rest is about on par.

Pixelate posted:Vice doing articles for free... quote:Up until this point, all ships had lifetime insurance (LTI) which meant free replacements when they were wrecked, instead of whatever insurance costs ended up being in the game. I decided to burn a gift card I'd gotten for my birthday on a second ship, something with a little more luxury value. It was $80 dollars and wasn't sold with a game pre-order, meaning I couldn't just trade in my Space Escort towards it. I feel like both of these things are majorly insane and not nearly enough gets made out of them. People spent thousands for LTI and they don't even know what that means. CIG doesn't even know what that means!! Also, the idea that you can't buy new ships with pre-order ships, its crazy the backers just rolled over and accepted that. Thanks for kickstartering, you dumb fucks! quote:The game's official forums were buzzing with people bragging about their last-minute collapses of willpower and the glory of their theoretical space garages. I posted a throwaway joke about buyer's remorse, and within an hour someone had messaged me asking if I wanted to sell it. This came across like a scheme, and I ran through all of the possible ways I could get screwed. The risk of losing a ship that existed only as concept art failed to outweigh the reward of getting more money back than I'd blown on an impulse purchase. I agreed to send the ship once the money was safely in my bank account, and gave the buyer my PayPal details.

So my understanding of that Wing Commander Academy gofundme is that Ben hasn't done anything in 3 years except spend 10,000 dollars on animation cells and sketches. Like, it doesn't appear that he's scanned any of it?

Completing a single mission should be a bewildering 3-4 hour slog complete with long space travel times, 20 minute train rides and fidelitous morning hygiene and dietary routines.

Inacio posted:https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/4/thread/3-8-live-feedback-most-frustrating-gameplay-mechan This is indeed a nice view into the bland and depressive reality of SC in the year of the lord 2020. quote:Everything StarMap One could argue that after 8 years things like the star map should work more or less flawlessly, but no, not even route plotting works. One commando suggests a "quick fix", though: quote:A fast patch until a UI overhaul can happen would be a text based nav system, type your destination and confirm. Which actually doesn't sound too bad, and as long as it is PC only, why not? I mean, yeah, it's CIG we are talking about, but such a thing should not take more than one or two months, depending on whether or not their UI supports text input via keyboard and has an easy to use list widget, so give or take a few weeks. But Citizens are 100% in on the CIG narrative that every change, no matter how mundane it might be, is a task of biblical proportions: quote:I'm not a game developer, but from everything I know there's no such thing as a "fast patch". Even the most mundane things can require Herculean feats to implement. If it was that easy i'm sure they would have done so by now. And this is exactly the point, these kind of changes should be doable in a small amount of time. This is basically UI-only without intersections with game logic, physics or anything else. But yet, CIG can't, probably because a) no one has thought about it yet or b) there is simply no person (left) with enough knowledge about that starmap-UI-code to make this change in an acceptable timeframe. Another theory is that their architecture is indeed so hosed up that this UI stuff is intertwined with gamelogic and messes in places it shouldn't, so every change is like navigating a minefield. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is a pretty small enhancement. In normal games such an addition would be a bullet point in the patch notes and that's it. For CIG it is a big problem, let alone doing actual changes that mess with the physics, netcode and much more. These guys literally came with a knife to a gunfight. Sure, due to unlimited funding they can trial & error their way through whilst burning insane amounts of money, but well... ggangensis fucked around with this message at 22:48 on Dec 31, 2019 |

The best thing about the long development cycle is you can spawn many children in this time-frame and by the time the game is out they should be flight ready (youngest can operated the easiest roles). You don't even have to pay them any creds to mop your deck.

Well you see all of the 100 star systems that Star Citizen will have someday already have reams of lovely and derivative lore written for them, so that means that they will definitely all be in the game when it launches sometime around the turn of the next century. colonelwest fucked around with this message at 04:53 on Jan 1, 2020 |

AntherUslessPoster posted:Lore of what, of a half assed planetoid, a station and supertech that lets you fall through floors? That's part of the great Star Citizen Illusion, and the presumption of success that surrounds this project like a miasma of poo poo. Real games, ones that have gameplay, don't generally bother with lore until they know the game works. Think the original Warcraft. "But why is this happening? gently caress it, toss something together." Over time once you know you can make a game, you can think of the lore earlier on and weave it in If you're a company that makes RPGs primarily lore might be really early on, or done in tandem with game dev. But for CIG having truckloads of "lore" is a way of proving that, like the other game development companies, of course a game will come out. Otherwise why go through all the trouble? Same can be said for literally everything surrounding this dumpster fire, from the cinematics to the mystery "LTI" cribbed from other games but which has no definition, "mining" which implies the existence of a nonexistent crafting and economy system, and pretty much every loving ship JPEG they've shat out for the better part of a decade. And the morons still paying Chris take all this poo poo at face value, as if he can make it all happen, despite literal decades of accumulated contrary evidence.
