Boxturret posted:I like that after years they have Miles "Tails" Ehhart as the one intractable npc and he's not even in the game yet. And they keep messing with him and developing fancy fluid simulations for his drink and giving him more and more coats. Wait until they get their NPC coat pipeline up and running before you start talking trash like this.

I liked that the rover's "damage state" was just every part of the wheel assembly separating off into a separate physics object, so the tires all popped off the rims and rolled away.

I mean, did we actually see any systems in place? As far as I can tell it was a few designated "PCs" who went up to puppets being controlled by a basement of CIG employees who looked like they were being held at gunpoint. A few lines of dialog were given, and then we jumped into a space chariot while that room full of nerds carefully moved a bunch of assets around and made sure to run a console command so a ship could explode at a precise moment in time. Even leaving aside the hilariously broken bullshit of everything, did we actually see a quest? Or did we watch a bunch of idiots go through the motions of a quest? In WoW, I get assigned a quest and the game tracks my objectives as I do them and when I finish collecting my dozen bear asses, the game goes ding and I get some bauble. I get feedback that the game has noticed me and is watching what I'm doing and knows when to pat me on the head. I don't think we saw any evidence of that; a bunch of people role-playing a spaceman who role played being in an MMO with other parts being people role playing being an NPC role playing an MMO. It's a Potemkin village of a video game. There's nothing inside, the facade is thin and cracking and it reveals not an ugly face, but a vast void where a game would be. It's one thing to be concerned about the quality of a quest, assuming that there's some infrastructure in place to build around and construct things out of certain elemental gameplay pieces. But I don't think we even saw evidence that there's that skeleton.

Bubbacub posted:I don't understand why Chris is so proud of Miles Eckhart. The dialogue sounds like it was archered from the original Deus Ex. Also Eggheart voice acting quality is below what I've seen high school kids manage in a play, not exaggerating at all though it's almost certainly because VisionManTM directed him to badly fake his voice to sound like Alex Jones. It's jarringly bad though, up there with Admiral Oldman (not to be confused with 'Old Man' Hammil, who also sounds terrible)

Basic rule of thumb If a team after a year of promising something, hasn't delivered it (having missed all of the deadlines they themselves set), acts like that is no big deal, and when asked about when it's going to be delivered the project leader says "lol, when it's done", then RUN AS FAR AWAY AS YOU CAN FROM THAT poo poo. Citizens! Get a refund. Like yesterday.

Yeah they just went in a static wreck and picked up a red box, there was no indication that that particular box was what the guy wanted, there was no indicator that they did the right thing, and nothing happened went they lost the box, it was just a bunch of people roleplaying playing a videogame.

Kind of funny, the last couple pages made me realize how bigger a farce this quest was than I realized. Guess I was laughing too hard during the entire fiasco to draw it all in. One thing I thought of though, could a Reclaimer come in and salvage the derelict Caterpillar?

Serious question, why don't just give up and contract a real developer studio to develop the game with their 0.15 billion dollars? How far along is Space Engineers nowadays? Maybe they could buy out the studio and build their garbage on top of that? Just floating some ideas here

Raspberry Jam It In Me posted:hey hi hello, I'm an aspiring vaporware space sim enthusiast from the gbs doobie thread and i've not been following this shitshow at all. can someone give a quick rundown what these clowns have been doing with >0.1 billion dollars for half a decade? how has there been so little progress? if you code that long, with so much funding, you gotta produce at least something, even if by accident, right? Well they spent the first 4 years building a cult from the ground up. Only recently have they been able to properly perform rites. But now that the spiritual pipeline is in place we can all expect to achieve enlightenment in two weeks. Stop being so impatient, most religions take way longer to reach this level of sophistication.

I'm not in the US, so my numbers may be off, but with an average programmer personnel cost of $100k per year and 20 employees it still comes out to "only" $10m after 5 years. How do you blow $150m loving US dollars? That's not "CEO drives a porsche company car"-money, that's way beyond that

Well, I mean leaving aside the fact there aren't any systems in place that resemble a game play loop, I'm pretty sure SC hasn't decided what kind of game SC is going to be, because it promises everything to everyone simultaneously, many of the promises being mutually exclusive with each other.

Toops posted:This is why shitizens should pray this game never comes out. A small gank-squad of goons would just camp the black box pickup location and destroy everything that moves, forcing them to re-start the 30-minute wake up, walk, wait in line, talk to mission-giver, walk, buy mission stuff, drive, board, fly, etc etc etc etc sequence all over again. Some white knight whale would show up to "save the day" in his $2000 pay-to-win spaceshep and clear the way for all the lowly, plebeian, poop-deck-swabbing mission-goers feeling grief from those drat dirty goons, and we would use one of an innumerable number of exploits to insta-gib his precious. that sounds fun

Virtual Captain posted:Thanks for that. I could see something was a little off but couldn't quite put my finger on it because there are a few occasions when one or two wheels left the ground completely. Actually that brings up a interesting point, how much of the "work being done" and "bugs being fixed" segments we've been seeing from CIG have been work on this bullshot? At the very least I recognized the weapon highlighting from a Bug Smashers segment. So I have to wonder, has anything actually been done on 3.0 for the past couple months, or has it all been CIG working on the Gamescom demo?

Raspberry Jam It In Me posted:how? how do you blow so much company money, without breaking the law? In short, the most extreme cart-before-the-horse development the world has ever seen. Chris Roberts paid several A-List Hollywood actors millions of dollars to get on camera next to his unfortunate wife, and paid tens of millions of dollars for motion capture before they had a functioning game engine and before they knew if they could use any of it. He spent millions more creating, throwing away, recreating, re-throwing away, and creating yet again several spaceship assets before he had a functioning game engine, and with no consideration as to whether or not those assets would work with each other, the engine, or the aforementioned motion capture. Spoiler: it didn't. He also spend untold millions of dollars building 4 studios around the world, because successful game development studios have that. The fact that real publishers earned them over time by actually creating and releasing games is lost on him. They also spent millions of dollars creating a real-life Truman Show analogue consisting of constant video feeds, "behind the scenes", "lore", fake world assets, and thousands of hours of complete bullshit video intended to make it look like they're making progress on a "game." What Chris did not do - what nobody in CIG has ever done - is decide what Star Citizen is. Nobody has created a game design, nobody has proposed a core game loop, nobody has considered even one single moment of gameplay or how any of this will work. It's just Chris Roberts continuing to exist as the genetic error he was born as. Stupidity is expensive.

Fargin Icehole posted:Guy from crowd: So when is it coming out? That was one of the defining moments of the stream, one of Crobblers fans, one of his customers and supporters, asking a very simple question that could easily have been honestly answered with "Hopefully in the near future, we want you guys to have this as soon as possible". Crobblers listened to the question, repeated it so everyone could hear and then... He suddenly, after talking the feature up enthusiastically proimising a great experience, decided to act as though he had better things to and completely ignored his duty to give an answer. (Ewe2's "That's the magic happening" would be perfect to add to that particular clip)

Like your posts, but please remember they have 5 studios. Don't forget Darby (As I usually do.) Not that it counts as much, but it still is another location nonetheless.
