Oh god it's real. I thought most of the buttons were just little blobs of kids modelling clay. Also that thread like most others has shitizens dreaming up random features that were never hinted at but will surely happen

Smartbomb should disable enemy ships by overloading the screen with blog text. Maybe we can get D_Smart's permission to use actual blog text so he doesn't sue the pants off everyone. Disabling the ship makes it easier to loving finish the fight by ramming them straight to hell.

Planet Awful could be a wonderful vacation spot, where visitors can shop, relax, and go sight-seeing. Daily safaris take visitors out to witness the primitive and warlike Ghün in their natural habitat. Just be careful, the smell of fun enrages the primitive Ghüns, and they will attempt to destroy any game they see, especially if it is being played by one of the frog-like peoples of Rebbit VII.

Finally got around to watching the 10 for the developers thing. I think that's the first time in 3 years that I've heard a "Can we have this [stupid feature]?" answered with a flat "No, that's not gonna be a part of the plan."

Good job Sean.

It is painfully obvious that you nothing about parody-game-development.
Frankly, whatever outdated engine Star Plebian runs on was the wrong choice for what Toops dreamed up, but it is a fact that Lumberyard was simply not availabe at the start of development two weeks ago. Changing engine this far into pre-parp-alpha development now would mean throwing all the assets away and starting from scratch.

Nice try with the reverse psychology attempt, but an idiot can see this is just your twisted and manipulative way of shilling SC and that you are just an alt of Croberts.

You know, this is a... I get a little bit annoyed when people say things like "your engine is outdated" and "where's your engine?" If you got back to the original paaarp pledge, you will see that you already have Solar Plebeian.

Sucks that we have more control over how CIG operates than they do, but what can you do

We need a Solar Plebeian gamemode called Stay Safe Developer Ghost

Update on my chargeback: the bank has issued it provisionally, but they've sent me a letter requesting a more complete summary of the reasons why I think one is deserved in this case. Anyone want to help me out with some convenient summaries? I'm trying to build a case that they basically sold me a package of digital goods, failed to deliver on 75% of it (and what they did deliver was completely broken from any objective standard) and then changed their own terms to attempt to deny the refund. To that end I'm looking for links specifically related to:

1) Changing the terms of service regarding refunds when it became apparent they weren't going to hit their deadlines
2) Denying refunds on the basis of "Game completion" (I will put this alongside some of the recent videos that should demonstrate how transparently false this is)
3) Evidence of refunds being issued just a few months ago and evidence of refund denial now due to the whole "14 days" thing despite that not being anywhere in their terms.
4) Evidence that they now intend to drop major sections of the game despite having sold them previously- statements like them disregarding Star Marine, among other things.
5) Some links to articles about the shaky nature of the game- I'll use the Escapist for sure, but if there are others it'd be helpful.
6) I'll also throw in my own correspondence with them where they tried to claim that chargebacks are fraudulent in cases like this.

Help me compile this and I'll make a big form letter that can be copy-pasted for future chargeback disputes.

One of the big takeaways from that Ben seems to be missing is:

If so much of Illfonic's work is in 2.1, why is "FPS" in 2.1 completely unplayable/nonexistent?

The purpose of the higher stretch goals is to ensure that the game-as-described is finished in the two year time period. We intend to build the game that Chris Roberts described at GDC Online regardless, but without additional funding we are going to have to do it one piece at a time, starting with Squadron 42, rather than as a single larger production. With more funding we can include more ships, systems, unique locations, animations and cinematic sequences.

Will it take longer to deliver all this? Of course! When the scope changes, the amount of time it will take to deliver all the features naturally increases.

Jared Huckabee: "We're still not at that point where most people, where most game companies, would be comfortable calling something an alpha and putting it out."

Jared Huckabee: "Can you name a feature in the PU that is actually finished?"

Ben Lesnick: "No."

Jared Huckabee: "No, we're still building the game."

Ben Lesnick: "Nothing's finished."

quote:

But here’s the thing. I didn’t see or play any of this. Squadron 42 seems to still be very much in the early stages of development, and I wasn’t shown a working build. Everything I saw was in the CryEngine editor or described verbally by one of the developers.

quote:

If we do especially well or badly in a mission, this could unlock further missions. That's the plan, but the developers couldn't show us anything that went beyond the presentations of CitizenCon 2015. The team is able to play through all the missions, but didn't want to demonstrate the missions in their current state of development yet.
