Madcosby posted:At the last citizenCon, there was a moment where Roberts turned to the crowd and triumphantly yelled "AND THERE WILL BE NO ASSIGNED RELEASE DATE!" and everyone cheered this is great when you have a creative, dedicated team of competent people, driven to do the best they can on a feasible project they are entirely passionate about but if you're a meandering yes-to-everything dickhead with a psycho partner who has promised your audience the world and then some, it's essentially going to become the novel that you take out every few months as an adult, write a new paragraph, cautiously delete some text, then throw away. deadlines are good. having an achievable project within parameters is good. timeframes force you to get poo poo done.

kingcom posted:I'm still not over this lol. They dont look like the things youre saying they are in the slightest. I agree, but I'm also going to point out that airplanes is also an incredibly boring starting point for designing spaceships, which only further increases the feeling of how generic everything is. This might be the sort of aesthetic that appeals to Iglocska, but I've always preferred spaceships that look like spaceships. Homeworld, EvE, even Elite's cheese wedges vs. yachts design split. (Incidentally I've never really had much bad to say about SC's own take on the Imperial Yacht concept.) With the exception the Jump thing, the Merchantman, and I guess the in-retrospect-kind-of-stupid Orion, Star Citizen's ships look incredibly boring and uninspired as a whole. Individually each ship is designed to look impressive, either on a store page or in a garage, but as a sign of a overall art direction they're less than the sum of their parts.

Scruffpuff posted:Of all things Star Citizen, the News Van Ship has to be the most surreal. The more you think about it, the deeper you dive into the insanity of the backers who proposed such an idea. There are people out there who think that in a heavily-instanced mini-area of 16 people, it would be fun for them to take up one of those slots to just fly around and look at the other 15 people, then report on their activities. Then, ostensibly, post them on YouTube and become some kind of space-Kronkite. What do they think those 15 people will be doing that would make for interesting viewing? Who the gently caress is going to watch something like that on YouTube? And since there's no persistence in a galaxy split into shards of 16 players each, why would anyone care? At least in EVE, with a single universe run by its inhabitants, there actually can be a newsworthy event that affects your play. But here, there is nothing, and there never will be anything. Do they think they're going to fly into a space battle, but not be participants themselves, and that will be more fun to watch than someone else who is actually IN the battle? The more I try to deep dive into their psyche, the more I disconnect from reason. ![]() https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitize...hing_npcs_work/

Imagine tuning into "in-game programming" to watch an NPC mine an asteroid, then follow it back to the dropoff point. ON AN IN-GAME MONITOR. I take back everything I said - I'm donating $25,000 today.

Xaerael posted:So, I remember once upon a long ago when the original Splinter Cell was put on a demo disc for xBox about 10 months ahead of it's release date. It had a fully working level with all the features that reached the final game, with some really complex game mechanics for it's day. The only thing that wasn't perfect was some of the textures were obviously fill ins or low res. By a strict definition of "Out as promised" the task is now impossible unless they "un-cancel" the 48M stretch goal "Retaliator Commercial" they officially nixed.

- A dude who just wants to play arena commander starts to fill in some blanks and gets dog-piled. His resiliance is pretty admirable imo: https://forums.robertsspaceindustri...t-play-the-game - A $500-$999 backer checks out after its confirmed that the Starfarer cockpit is absolutely retarded.

I just watched The Big Short. Christian Bale's character in that is roughly analogous to Derek's role with SC, and eventually there's gonna be a movie about this shitheap of a scam where he's inevitably played by Denzel Washington or Will Smith... and the name of this movie will be "LET ME loving FINISH". Only the white people in it will get nominated, because Hollywood.

Madcosby posted:what is interdiction for those of us who dont play space games It's something dropping you out of warp/hyperspace/lightspeed/whatever against your will. In some games it's also the creation of a 'no warp zone'.

His resiliance is pretty admirable imo: jockitch is dropping some great truth bombs in there against a lot of "have faith / you're not a gamedev" nonsense: Jockitch posted:I remember going 3-4 months without a patch on a rubber banding crash fest . Sure star citizen uses stats or whatever to fix issues I guess but I don't see it . What stats are they collecting now ? I crashed 10 times yesterday . How will they be using that ? The defense will always be that we are testing but I see very little if any fixes . Oh wait ! Maybe 2.2 will have these fixes ? Remember that in 1.3 I had a thread that also complained about the crashes . Some of the same people on this thread said 2.0 would fix those crashes . What happened ? the line "i crashed 10 times yesterday. how will they be using that?" is a perfect question. at this point the frequency of system errors and crashes to desktop are just insane. i am baffled that people are okay with this. everything he's posting in the thread is fantastic. looking forward to seeing more of these erupt over the year.
