I like this one, it's so far wrong it's ridiculous.


I guess the logic is that if I find that I'm not excited about buying clothes in a spaceship game then the problem must be with me, rather than say the bugs in the game that made me waste 3 hours to get 20 minutes of good footage. Even if the release were bug free then persistence is a dull but necessary feature that's not going to get anyone excited.

So you played 3 hours to get that footage without any bugs.
And all you got was insults because you didn't immerse yourself enough.

Im just glad there are other space games out there to play :)

Star Citizen – The Fidelity Of Failure

I made a summary of new or newish points to the thread as this blog is a long read and more aimed at those not following closely.


Find the quotes in context if something interests you and there's so much I probably missed other new stuff.

Jonathan Dadley is listed as a "Senior Designer" at F42 on linkedin, still showing employed as of today.

The biggest quote you missed is this
"WHY I NOW BELIEVE THAT STAR CITIZEN HAS EVOLVED INTO A COMPLETE SCAM"
This is libel if its not true. He is calling star citizen a scam publicly

Did some transcripts of chris words enjoy the gospel of chris
also im sorry but im too lazy to format the text properly

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvule1cD_zk&t=570s
why we several things we have a big company right and so everybodys just working to make the game bigger and better and we sort of gauge the size of the team and kind of like the ambition of what we are doing based on how much money we sort of make every month(:psyduck:). So we have bunch of cash in reserve and but you know like we are bringing in decent amount of new people
because its more about, its less about concept sale help and its cool thats the way to support the development but in someways its more about also bringing in new people into community like because you know this is kind of an online game. so we are kind of lucky that we have quite big community and we are growing the community so by the time game is you would call "finished" there will be quite big population of people to adventure and have fun inside and thats important for an online game because its sort of population and community of game dictates the success and so part of what we are doing you know sharing the stuff early is to bring community in and the concept sales continue to sort of help not only sort of support the ongoing development efforts but also just the cost of running a live servers, so its not like you know its not free, you know we got google and amazon charges money every month for the servers we are running on the cloud for the all the servers that distribute the contend like when we do new patch we know with downloading gigabytes of data to every individual person so it ends up being petabytes of data overall so it costs us money to run things continually so all the bills(builds) we give to backers turning in turning(tuning) around getting the feedback doing it all. That just costs extra time and (repeats time here couple of times) takes extra time like we have to make those you know like works at making those bills (builds, it seems like chris likes to pronounce builds as bills) as stable as possible fix the bugs and of course they are doing it if our engineers are doing that they cant be working on new features so there is a cost involved in running sort of live game as we are doing right now,but again like i said i think thats something that makes a big difference in terms of the ultimate quality of the game and things like you know concept sales and new people joining in early. Its just helping sort of supporting that as well as sort of create this big feature set so for instance in a good example is you guys visiting here in the german office and we showed you the procedural planet work that we are doing and theres no way we would have done that we wouldnt have been able to afford to do that if we had just sort of raised the our money and stopped. So thats all part of a kind of continual fundraising we had stretch goal for R&D into procedural techniques and thats just RD we arent promising procedural planets and moons for everything but now we are doing that and we are doing that because we have been able to continue to bring new players in and continue to bring money in and that your money just gets invested into making the game bigger and richer and deeper so thats kind of like my objective and goal i want to make this game as cool as possible. I dont really care about making money (bursts into laughter) so all the money we can get in is just about being able to hire the best programmers the best artist the best designers and let them dream and build an even bigger world. So you know im not really going to apologize for the the the concept sales for that for me its just a its a way to to make the game cooler and bigger and ultimately everyone at the end of the day will be you know thankful for that. I mean you just wouldnt see a publisher to invest this kind of money into this game with this much ambition especially on the pc and we are just doing it mostly because its there there there's a community out there their fanbase out there and that this is kind of their dream game and they are willing to support it and im really thankful for that because it enables myself and you know the team here and the team in the other studios to deliver that so its just all about making the game cool as possible and you know if its a few more ships will make it even better then great


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvule1cD_zk&t=1687s

"we are talking about some stuff we are doing with the network where we are going to have this sort of mesh of servers so we will be able to have hopefully you know a large amount of players all in same area so we dont have to instance it in the way we were originally going to we were thinking we were going to have to instance it. we have a kind of different server(or service) design now that could potentially have thousands of players all in same sort of area at the same time which would be really cool, because thats something again its not something you could get from year ago or 10 years ago but with you know sort of newer tech the power in the machines kind of sort of stuff you can do in the cloud possibility is sort of opened up and you want to utilize it"

Skippy Granola posted:

I'm interested in Roberts' justifications but I can't parse all the mumfering, capitals and ellipses.

Do you think you could translate the CIGese into English?

Q: Just playing the devil's advocate a bit there in the last question, there's been some criticism by some people, some from shady sources, let's not talk about that, about you spending your money for different things and nobody really knows what for. I don't know. Now there are some Kickstarter projects who kind of put a price tag to anything they do for people to know what their money is being spent on, have you ever considered doing that for Star Citizen?


A:
no, that just sounds like, that sounds like a nightmare I already have you know a lot of armchair developers and all the rest of the stuff and armchair CEO's and yeah, you know the input's appreciated and good but you gotta run a project and you know you can't have a committee of one point four million people designing/deciding stuff. We put all the money we raise into the game, I mean we have three hundred and thirty people around the world, there's four studios you know we do I mean hell we do videos where you walk around the studios!


I mean three hundredth and thirty people, they all need to be paid you know, it's like, add it up, like it's going in the game, we're constantly adding stuff and building stuff so I think some people like attention and so like to say things, but you know we just we focus on what we're doing, we care about making the best game possible, and every dollar that we raise goes to making the game better, and that's kinda the pledge I made, I said that until the game's commercial we're all the money we're raising is essentially going in and getting reinvested into the game and we sort of determine, you know how polished and how big and how ambitious and everything is based on that and that hasn't changed


I mean the you know we did last year, you know, better than we did the year before despite, apparently having, you know, some criticism so I think the majority of people are happy with what we're doing because, you know, they just want.I think most people got into this because they wanted something that wasn't gonna be they'd play for a week and put away. I think most people got into this to have something that they could play for years and so they're like, "Okay if you're gonna build something build it right" because I wanna play this for years, and so I've for me that's kinda what I hold true to and that's important for me.


Because I also wanna play this game, I wanna be in this universe and I want it to be right and you know you can see it when we were showing you the demo and I'm calling out to Erin, "this a thing and this and all these little details " and then maybe on your side you'll be like "alright, I didn't. I don't. I didn't notice that", but you know for me that's kind of it, it has to be this vision so that's what I'm focusing on and i think it's the best way and the communication that I talked about sharing. What we're doing goes on and the rest of it's up to the people but I don't really wanna get into a situation where it's "do you want this feature for so many dollars or do you want this feature for so many dollars", because I think at that point you're gonna lose control of a singular vision and a really cohesive world and you know.


I can tell you there's a you know there's you know nothing shady with us, we're straight up, I think people that say things like that, they you know. people was it look in a mirror something like that


Q: Well I am looking forward to seeing where the game is going to be in one year, and if the HULL class has not been released I'll be bringing a certain uncle and we'll talk some more


A:
I actually think there's (repeats there nervously several times) there's a good chance by next year that there could be a hull class because we've got the MISC ships, we've already got the styles and the basic, I mean once we've built one or two of the ships at scale like the starfarer's a big scale MISC ship, it's much quicker for us to build the first, when we build the first one because there's a whole style and materials and shaders that you build for the different manufacturers so the MISC so the HULL class is I think by the next time by next gamescom will be you know it whether it's flying right then it'll be very close to

So

Q
Star Marine. Will we have AI combat modes similar to the Vanduul Swarm?

Erin Roberts
Eh, we certainly will, but it won't be part of the first iteration. The first iteration is basically the balancing, basically what we're working on is all towards PLAYER vs PLAYER, so we're REFINING um... you know the ANIMATION SETS... you know um... and... you know... the... the COMBAT MOVES when... you know, the way... and... it's sort of uh... sort of first... person straight first person... um, you can... you can basically you know... use COVER and all those kinda stuff and... and so forth, THROW GRENADES, the works, you know, it's that kind of level so that's what we're... that's what we're PLANNING to get players into the game and then THAT'S what will come out with 2.6 but then shortly after that, then... when... when the... when the AI come online... the AI basically will be in the game, PROPERLY, first... first... the first... the first you'll see of that will be in 3.0

Well actually... you'll probably... see some in SQUADRON as well... but basically that... when the first sort of um... um... version were people will PLAY will be in 3.0 so THAT will be a time when we'll actually probably have a MODE, where you can go and actually find some of your buddies and actually fight AI, and have that sort of like LEVEL of going in and you know trying to take stuff out and eh uh ah


Chris answer about Star Marine from JAN 25th 2016



TLDR;
Chris said they were HONING the Star Marine animations in January, Erin says they are REFINING the Star Marine animations in October.

Anyone know what comes after HONING and REFINING?

i don't disagree with almost anything you said... (i don't think they'd need to start over... but a solid 'reset' after a real assessment at where they are and how to move forward realistically would do wonders.)

logistically, it's crazy to me humans can engineer skyscrapers and superhighways in less time and less money than many large game projects... and make it look easier.

i've asked before in this thread... so what do they do? what would *you* (thread) support? would you jump all over them if they did just that -- stopped and reassessed and rescoped? or would you laud their wakeup call?
Lets take your super highway example and put it into Star citizen of highways.

Star citizen is like highway to moon.
Expect midway building it they decided to go to mars instead.

Now question is what will we do with that highway to mars?
especially because before its complete cars would have morphed into flying saucers that dont require highways.
You know instead of building a highway to mars same money could have been spend building better rockets or you could spread that money on all kinds of vehicular technologies and have at least one of em complete.

Basically why invest 1000$ on a single jpg promise. when you could have invested it into 50 promises. Surely 2% of em will complete at least, Worst case scenario you will just receive multiple star citizen like games.
and doesnt your alarm bells ring by the fact that they are promising more than other games combined are promising.
Surely if this scope was doable we would see it everywhere,

In the last 500 years, the Fourth Stimpire has dominated four systems, which it has united into one starzone, Stimsis. The Fourth Stimpire has origins from the Ten Empire War in which 10 of the United Stimpires revolted against each rules. All empires except for the fourth swore freedom upon their citizens. There is no free speech in the Fourth Stimpire, and all self-controlled transportation has been made illegal without undergoing painful medical verification methods, in which arteries are severed without pain resistant, operated entirely by machines. The way they work claim to be the most hygenic and healthy way possible, but these machines often rub against pain points, causing great deals of pain to patients. The heart is then extracted from the body and placed into a glass grinding machine. Various energy centers are also dissected and replaced with dangerous transplants. After the painful, 52 hour surgical procedure, patients will then have to use a fused guidance tool, which pumps painful resistors into the body every 2 hours. The pain they have caused is so bad, the victim would freeze in a tense position. They would then collapse afterwards.

Sexual stimulation in any way within the grounds of the Fourth Stimpire is strictly prohibited, and anyone detected even touching their sexual organs will be subjected to a penectomy or if the offender was a female, they would then have a razor inserted into their ovaries. They would pump a blue solution into the womb until the stitchings burst. Offenders would also be forced to show their operated areas in public, and they would always harass and punch them to a pulp, against their will.

Otherwise, offenders would be tazed with the worst type of electricity in the systematic district, causing so much pain, the victim would scream and flail in madness. The pain would also triple every second, but no death would be incurred. This is also used in combat against enemy units, which is why all UEE forces must wear the upgraded suit to block this effect.

However, enertainment is also questionable in UEE grounds. Sporting events end with the losing team being rounded into a grinder and shredded on live television, boxing matches end with the loser having their hands removed without anasthesia, flight races would end with the losers having their arms and legs removed, then being injected with insanity, for entertainment. People are also forced into these events, by undergoing a painful 127 hour procedure which involves tweaking the muscles so they will not listen to brain commands, and then having a painful drug injected which also causes madness if the player is not sporting. This is all for entertainment, and anyone not watching any of it during sporting times and cheering for the winning team, they will be imprisoned into galactic camps.

Snuff films are also broadcast, and actors are actually murdered just for entertainment. Stealth droids also guide these forced actors into behaving exactly as the director dreams, otherwise they will be punished by being placed into a macerator and having their execution written into the film. Any film that does not feature someone being murdered will be burned and the entire crew behind it will be executed in the most grotesque way possible - vivisection.

All executions are broadcast, and anyone who misses even a millisecond, even by blinking, will be executed. All citizens must boo to the person being executed, and the family is gathered to be injected with eternators, which cause pain forever, making them immoral but feeling the pain tenfold every millisecond. They cannot pass out, but they will feel like it forever.

Conquests by this Stimpire end in the planet being razed, and all the citizens being executed in the same way as their citizens are. The planet is then destroyed and all remnants of it are removed, and any memories of it will be erased instantly from civil minds. People who are also killed are also erased from memories, and all memories of them, including toys and pictures, are destroyed.

Prisoners undergo 40,000 years of relentless and endless labor, and anyone not complying is sentenced to the eternator injection. All prisoners injected with eternators are placed into capsules and launched into far space, then the room is closed tight to ensure maximum insanity. Some prisoners are also subjected to the removal of blood, the lungs, the liver, the genitals, the skeleton, the muscles, the eyes, and even the injection of pressure. Prisoners sentenced to pressure chambers are locked in until they are inflated to a high level. The decompression is then stopped to make sure they are inflated and uncomfortable.

Children born on the 14th of July are subjected to the removal of their skeleton and an implant of a silver liquid to replace it. The nervous sysem is also injected in various parts to ensure it is five times more sensitive than the average.

Restaurants also are ordered to serve civil meat, and anyone attending must give themself up to be cooked into a grotesque meal. They are cooked alive, undergoing extreme pain, and are then subjected to industrial grinders and blenders. The Stimpire orders at least 1 million citizens to be dispatched every day, as they are afraid the population may overthrow them. But only one planet is cared for, and the rest are banned from eating, drinking, talking, using technology, touching anyone, wearing unauthorized clothes, touching buildings, or walking a centimeter out of designated routes. Civil enforcers are on every planet, and they are engineered so that they are 40 times larger than the 300 quadrillion population. At least 7 billion die every 12 hours under this rule.

Thoughts are also surveyed, and anyone who does not think anything to loving the Stimpire with more than their capabilities will be sentenced to a prison. Prisoners who are punished for this violation will meet their greatest fear, only to have it amplified so they will turn insane as they imagine it exactly as they fear it. They then undergo a painful extraction of all fluids, to be replaced by a toxin which causes permanent irritation. The unknown substance keeps the subject aging normally, except they will never die. Prisoners punished in this way are unable to be reverted, despite many efforts, and they will never be able to be disposed.

The sickening truths have been revealed only today, and invigilation teams are still investigating the truths without setting foot in the galactic space of this sickening empire.

Star Citizen Procedural Stained Glass window canopy biscuits

based on this recipe (with a few alterations minor refactoring to account for what ingredients I found in my mums cupboard since I'm out of town housesitting right now) http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/8233/orange-and-ginger-stained-glass-biscuits


ingredients:

175g wholemeal flour
100g butter
50g caster sugar
powdered cinnamon and ginger to taste
around a Tbsp of Almond milk drink
about 8-10 boiled sweets

Directions:

1: put the flour, cinnamon, ginger and sugar in a bowl, cube the butter and rub it in with your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs



2: add the Almond milk and kneed into the dough until a solid mass if formed, if the dough is dry add more almond milk as necessary, Rest for ~30 minutes in a fridge



3: Flour a clean work surface and roll out the dough to around 4-5mm thick. Cut shapes, including an aperture in each biscuit, and place onto baking parchment



4: crush up the boiled sweets one at a time and put the crushed pieces in the holes in each of your biscuits





5. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 180 celcius. Remove and allow to cool on the baking parchment; don't try to remove them until the sugar from the sweets is completely hard





Here are the completed biscuits:

batch 1, PROCEDURAL BIRDS.

These non-jpeg birds are entirely unique and totally original, and can be yours for the low low price of all your money, however much that is that's how much they are.





The birds are called, in order of magnitude from large to small

the Aeon Eagle (and resemblence to the imperial eagle used in Nazi Germany is totally an innocent mistake)
the Bilennium Buzzard
the Century Crow
the Decade Duck
the Year Yellowhammer
the Month Merlin

Next up, a set of seven totally special and unique Procedural Planets





These planets are procedural so have the totally unique names Zaonce, Lave, Reorte, Orerve, Leesti, Diso and Arse. These are procedurally generated totally original names do not steal

Finally, cookie cutter trees because CryCookie-Engine is really hard you guys and I found a cookie cutter in the stock assets folder my mums cupboard. Also some stars and poo poo from the cut outs




So here's the entire haul, all laid out and ready to eat



I very much enjoyed my first voluntary mod challenge and I hope you guys buy all my loving cookies for all your money so you can fund further cookie development*

(*money may be used to buy airplane furniture and huge boxes of cat donuts that I will flaunt in front of my mothers overweight cat)

Are those birds prcedurally hand crafted?
Because the fidelity just shines trough em
