Dear CIG employee reading the thread,
Now that thread resident Pgabz has detected a serious and sloppy error with the Star Citizen crime and punishment and griefing system, it would be of benefit to the continued development of your product to invite Pgabz to join the CIG Private Testers, Testing For (no) Money.

This would be of great hilarity and will also help CIG find the programmer responsible, so that he may be punished by having Sandi chew his head off with her mandibles.

Thank you for your service commando.
Lots of love.

This was probably already posted here, if not. Recently ~director logs from the EVE Goons came out and there was some pretty :yikes: stuff posted (eg. demanding CCP do what they want, smugging about CCP's PR guy potentially getting in trouble because of not doing what they want, etc.). It's all pretty long and mostly bleh but if you have the time and want to check them out, they're on the front page of the r/EVE subreddit at the moment called "GSF Jabber Logs."

Anyway this dumbo posted this thread about Derek for some reason.

It's true that some CIG staff used to work at Heavy Iron Studios

Calix Reneau, Designer at Cloud Imperium Games
Past - Game Designer, Heavy Iron Studios

Kirk Tome, Lead Technical Designer at Cloud Imperium Games
Past - Creative Director, Heavy Iron Studios, Inc.

Kirk Tome was also at Big Red Button Entertainment, Inc. inbetween Heavy Iron Studios & CIG
Mark McCall, Technical Animator at Cloud Imperium Games
Past - Technical Artist / Character Rigger, Big Red Button Entertainment, Inc

Starting a studio fast means that you get random people and then people start getting jobs for their friends as the industry is so small, you can see this a little in reverse if you look to see where some of the leavers ended up. In the UK the core of Foundry 42 came from Travellers Tales, they shipped a lot of games so that's probably a good thing, I'm sure it's not always a positive thing though.

Please let this turn into a siege. Croberts and wife are desperately trying to open the vault in the basement and can't because Chris changed the access code in a cocaine-fuelled fit of arm-waving. Derek Smart is crawling through the vents, muttering promises to say "Yippee-ki-ay, motherfucker" in two weeks time. The police try to break into the building with an armoured car, only to be foiled by Lando and Money rolling Ben out of a window, crushing the APC.

Ortwin is the big blonde german, money is the police officer who shoots him at the end....

I think it's interesting that they worked on Disney Infinity, I expect the "baby pu" to pop up "toy box full" messages when too much is going on.

Though Disney Infinity does have a lot more content.

CLOUD IMPERIUM GAMES CHOOSES SIMPLYGON April 28, 2014

quote:

"Star Citizen is an amazing title with huge interest and Cloud Imperium's decision to use Simplygon is a massive validation of what we do for developers...enabling them to work faster, more efficiently, and ultimately deliver the best AAA game to players." Cloud Imperium Chief Creative Officer and Co-founder Chris Roberts said, “When I was first prototyping Star Citizen back in 2011 I did a lot of research on various LOD processes as I knew this would be important considering the large poly counts I was aiming for. Simplygon was the best tool that I used and the folks at Donya Labs were incredibly patient and supportive of me and Star Citizen in our early days when the game was far from a sure thing. I couldn’t be happier to announce that Simplygon is our official LOD tool for Star Citizen.”

Assuming they last a while longer, when sales dry up, Star Citizen will go free to play, they won't turn anyone without a game package away and risk losing some money.

I have to disagree I have noticed many instances in the past where Dr Smart has said "2 weeks' or 'just wait, 2 weeks' and then lo and behold two weeks pass and some funny and embarrassing revelation about space citizen occurs.
