"Let's say I am mildly interested in SC" Karl, seriously get help pretending to be your own kid and lying to complete strangers about a stupid "potential" game, is odd to say the least. This is not normal behaviour.

I think I'd like to know more about Karl's knowledge about covering up criminal acts.

Also if Sandi is one of my wingmen I'm gonna frag her right away just like I did maniac. It'll probably break the story because there's no way she would let herself get written off in episode 1

Bug Report: "I shot Sandi, then my ship exploded for no reason, the game crashed, uninstalled itself, my forum account was permabanned, finally my hard drive was wiped over with static".

After CIG crashes and burns, I'm going to buy a copy of their customer database during the ensuing firesale auction, then I'll start a Viscera Cleanup business in real life, cleaning up after all the cultist suicides.

Catching up with the thread, but I just wanted to say, one of my local pizza shops makes a Bacon, Banana, and Chilli (flakes) Pizza.

Which is loving amazing to eat.

I've just noticed they also do a Kangaroo Pizza (Kangaroo fillet marinated in Australian wild spices), so I think I'll give that a shot next time.

Nobody is saying it will be easy. Or fun. CIG is breaking ground in developing games jpgs that are unfun at their very core. It does sound like multiplayer matches are supposed to play as slow and plodding combat between two teams of awkward space men.

Playing paintball during work team-building days was enough to show me I can't run around at full sprint for hours like in an FPS, so CIG has achieved fidelity with real life there.

They just need to add an area at the back of the arena I can sit and drink beers and watch everyone else run around playing armymen for it to be 100% immersive.

So I just thought of something, and hear me out here. What if Chris is actively trying to help the backers get out? ... Ultimately what if Chris is trapped by the very beast that he created, SC and Sandi. And that this entire thing is nothing more then a serious cry for help. A cry that will go unanswered.

Of course the truth is much simpler then this, but it's at least something funny to consider.

At the first whiff of Chris not following script, Ortwin would do some more Hollywood accounting with the seventeen companies they've set up and that would be the end for him. As long as Sandi stayed silent, they'd throw her a bone and give her the mocap studio as her way back into show business, this time in production rather than talent.

Chris, of course, wouldn't even be left with a pot to piss in.

I like how almost nobody starts with cannibalism.

Is everyone secretly okay with the inevitable space cannibalism? I mean, there would be long pig everywhere there would be people, and you know that there's going to be times when engines crap out. Starvation is a hell of a drive.

Perhaps a crafting game involving spices and herbs, and everyone having a secret 'deliciousness' variable. The actual slaughtering animations could be tasteful, and even give rise to a butchering minigame; you could use the assets for other things, like cows, space cows, martian cows, indicating the best parts of the meat with your laser knife. Perhaps people could have distinctive skulls that could be collected someplace.

It's already in another (not-space) ship sailing game, so of course Croberts will steal the idea come up with a new and innovative feature for the BDSSSE
