To get the mullet in casting range, throw these Mad Mullet sand balls in the water. When the balls hit the water the sand makes an irresistible cloud in the water and the resulting oil slick stays on the surface. Mush up all ingredients except sand, then add sand until the mixture can be formed into a ball. Add some water if too dry.

Seeing as how every single cultist is a domain expert in game development, I wonder if they'd head on over to /r/gamedev to defend SC if a discussion of the issues CIG are having with their crosshair was started? This isn't a  incitement, I just wonder how far the dissonance goes and if they're willing to take on actual gamedevs with their YOU DONT UNDERSTAND GAME DEVELOPMENT line.

Octopode posted:Whether you pick 2011, when Chris was selecting an engine, or 2012, when the prototype was demoed, it doesn't really matter. There were no suitable licensable high-performance game engines available, whether with 32-bit or 64-bit spatial positioning systems that would have met the necessary wickets without requiring similar or more re-engineering work in one area or another. "Crytek posted:The CryENGINE 1 was developed between 2001 and 2004, parallel to Crytek's first game, Far Cry. Crytek wrote the entire engine in less time than Star Citizen has been in development. They hired large parts of the Crytek engine development team. ..but you knew all that right?

The thing that usually stops an engine change for a project is having to throw away completed work and start again. With SC none if it is in-engine yet anyway, it's all renders in 3DS Max. Isn't this the best time to just download UE4?

Gwaihir posted:This is the really salient point. Which engine they picked doesn't help anything when Chris decides that the boots on the marine character model are not up to his exacting standards, or that the Constellation needs to be re-designed for the 5th time. No one is arguing or claiming that going with a different engine would have saved the entire project - more that its just another example of making the worst possible choice at all times. We dissect SC all the time in this thread, why are people getting angry about enginechat? If it was UE3/4 it would still be a complete mess but it wouldn't have been completely ridiculous to choose Unreal in the first place.

The recent track record on trailers and jpegs is pretty bad, and that's all they've got. The citcon star marine trailer was a disappointment even to the brown sea and Reddit and was quietly delisted from YouTube and never mentioned again. It was demoted from gameplay trailer to some QA testers messing around. Reality: people probably worked a crunch week to poo poo that out. The weird black geometric alien ship had a red variant released and it was just a terrible photoshop covered in artifacts. Now they're trying to pass off year old renders as new and getting caught out by reddit. When CIG can't put out passable jpegs and staged trailers without the faithful murmuring from the pews then things are well and truly hosed.

Welcome back Octopode. Do you have anything funny to say about the fourth mocap studio and how 2.0 is so finished that there is nothing to show for it? Tell us of the innovative QA process at CIG that results in not a single in progress jpeg or video clip. Will you be getting a concierge card? Namaste.

Does the constant use of "blocker" annoy anyone else? I don't know of any other project that throws that around so much. Lots of talk of excludiber breaking builds on the reddit threads, so as well as having no game they are also incapable of making a working build environment. I would _love_ to see the state of whatever CI/VCS they use. It's probably a screenful of folders on Bens desktop ending "use this one (2)" "use this one (8) final!"

Octopode posted:All correct, more or less, with the added wrinkle of the current major issue being memory leaks, which probably wouldn't have shown up in the relatively short play sessions shown at Gamescom or CitCon. There's also just the normal fact of development on a large complicated system causing regression and new bugs as things are added or changed in general. Why don't CIG have a very deep bench on the programming side? The entire loving thing is founded on the belief that they're doing something so amazing that the tech to do it doesn't exist. They hype it up like it is some grand new avenue in computer science, yet with ninety five million us dollars they don't have many programmers?  Programmers are interchangeable at this level. These people work in the games industry, that is already a specialisation. Sure, some people will lean more towards one thing or another but this isn't a D&D module - there are no hard Spaceship Programmer/FPS Programmer/Buggy Programmer/BLOCKER FIXER character classes. Being asked "Hey can you take a look at the issues assigned to Barry - he is off for a couple of weeks. The rest of the team can get you up to speed." shouldn't be a problem. Oh poo poo, Barry has broken his wrist. Time to re-roll one of the people who majored in spaceships to be a bug fixer, should take about a week to level up. tl;dr If your 95 million dollar software project crashes to a screeching halt and can't survive one person leaving then you are incompetent or the people you have hired are incompetent. Stop defending this house of cards and get a refund. EDIT: Octopode posted:Programming stuff is inherently less parallelizable than stuff like asset development, and honestly less of a schedule risk for the overall game. It makes sense that they should be prioritizing asset development staff given their tremendous backlog and the manpower intensity of their assets. Between the two, the coding side is at a much higher completion percentage than their art side is. The assets are behind the programming? Are you looking at the same project? They have nothing but a giant pile of assets and no loving game to use them in. They've probably got an Indiana Jones style warehouse full of Ben and CRoberts raved ramblings about the verse and how things should work, all anotated with concept art. None of it works.
