"Let me go ahead and give this blanket answer for everything that you hear about in 10 for the Chairman and ATV and everything. These are - they're intentions. There's the things we would like to do. There's the things that we sign our people to explore, to figure out - you know, go and see about making this happen. Then there's the challenge. Then there's - going through and figuring out how to make all this happen. Not everything's going to become a reality exactly the way we spoke about it; not everything's going to work with every other system; it's an exploration - that's what development is. So that's probably why I don't know anything about it because we haven't actually done any work on it yet."

The craziest part about this mixing minigame is that so much of the full version of the game is required in place for it to serve any purpose

everything about their whole design process is like this. rabbit holes everywhere, i can't look up anything about this game without falling into a pit of insanity and bad decisions.



AdzAdama claims the inspiration for this photoshop came to him in a dream, a dream of inter-studio sata ball matches.

"what the gently caress is sata ball?" i asked myself.

WELLL SATA Ball is a :siren:fully functional, competitive team future-sport:siren: that was initially designed and voted on by fans in one of RSI's lore builder updates at the end of 2013.


:catstare:

ok, so then in may of this year, the developers at illfonic say "nope, we're gonna do ender's game actually" and then create an insanely cluttered, over-saturated "Astro Arena". there's no way you could fly around this thing and have any loving clue what's going on, just because of fake space ads. According to the update, these ads are animated and I guess there's also ad drones that fly around? :eyepop:

before/after



cut to three months later, and illfonic is in a pickle - nothing is useable or close to release. SATA ball is delayed indeterminately, to be released sometime after Star Marine. cut to later that month, and illfonic isn't even working for cig anymore, and foundry 42 germany has to start the FPS module over almost entirely from scratch. star marine is coming out... never, so sata ball is definitely coming out... after never.

but the fans, diligent and faithful as ever, retcon the lore to fit in the new style of SATA Ball, a sport that doesn't and will never exist.

this game is a dumb joke

A bit back someone dumped a load of linkedin profiles in the thread. In California one of CIG staff is listed as "Executive Assistant to the Co-Founder/Vice Chairman/General Counsel at Cloud Imperium Games" on linkedin, google the persons name you get a imdb page with a movie made this year (doesn't seem to be CIG related) and a twitter account where they are self described as an "INTERNATIONAL PRO MAKEUP ARTIST based in LOS ANGELES, CA".

I'm curious too, about this and the whole debacle in general. I know the very general story (overambitious game charges thousands of dollars for pretend ships and produces nothing), but not the details/particular hilarious bits, and the thread(s?) is so massive it'd take forever to read. Is there a good summary available? Also, who's Karl and why does everyone hate him?

it might be hard to find a summary of EVERYTHING. there was a lot of great stuff in the last thread that people don't really talk about anymore, just bc it's been discussed to death. i wouldn't worry too much about it, you have the gist and hilarious stuff pops up constantly.

karl is a weirdo SC cultist who sometimes posts on these very forums! he's the kind of guy who makes multiple accounts and pretends to be multiple people, so that he can back himself up on his lovely crazy opinions. also i think he doxxed/stalked forums poster Bootcha or something.

Section B: Treatment of Non-Members
With respect to roleplay and enemy factions, all members are still expected to treat other players in the game, whether good or evil, as is becoming a Christian.

also i hosed up and this guild is actually KJV only too, what is it with aggressively proselytizing christians and KJV?

quote:

Section B: Ministries
Members may start up regular community ministries such as Bible studies, prayer meetings, or support groups that they wish to lead. Members must, prior to announcing the new ministry, get approval from the Council by sending a PM to a Councilor outlining the details of the new ministry who will then in turn bring it before the Council for approval and then let the member know once approved or denied. All sanctioned guild ministries involving the Bible are required to use the Official Guild Bible Version.

quote:

Section K: Avatar Attire
All members should have their digital game avatars dressed in a manner that has a positive representation of both our faith and the guild. Slave outfits and other revealing attire are to be avoided by all members when possible by game design for both their avatars and NPC companions.

This isn't really that :psyduck: when you consider that addictions counselors are very often former addicts. Yeah, there are addictions counselors that weren't addicts themselves, but usually if someone is an addictions counselor it means they were an addict at one time.

That's not really meant as a knock against them since being a former addict gives them quite a bit of empathy and understanding of what their patients are actually thinking. However, his post here is filled with rationalizations for his behavior, and this kind of compulsive spending is probably something he needs to discuss with his sponsor. It seems like he's still trying to cling to the hope that maybe he's not down a deep dark hole right now, and so therefore it's cool guys he's got it under control.

a fair point, i've only ever met one addictions counselor, and they were indeed a former addict.

the worst part about the SC community is how they reinforce and justify each other's mental illnesses. sooo many posts from clearly unhealthy individuals either get ignored or treated like a joke, bc even acknowledging the sheer volume of insane people would be too close to admitting that RSIs business model is built around drawing those crazies in.

"Any other game developer would have thrown several hundred thousand dollars (or more of OUR money) into a carefully scripted and orchestrated 'perfect presentation'"

Estimated costs of competent play demo:

Getting a dude to make sure your joystick is plugged in 10 minutes before a presentation: $100,000
Get that same guy to also turn on V-sync: $150,000
Create a back-up plan if the game/computer crashes: $200,000
Have a guy coach Chris Roberts through an hour of his own game so he doesn't look like a loving moron: $300,000
