How could you possibly expect crobert industrials to tackle such a daunting task as public visibility for a con panel. The answer is of course they did nothing to market this. Not like it was going to be panel of any value.

Meanwhile in a game that works and is allegedly good, I'm getting pissed off at ED because the black market at the station I'm doing stuff out of suddenly vanished.
Now I'm flying around with half a hold of illegal/stolen salvage and can't sell it anywere. :argh:

I was more going along the lines of, why are they attending another con so soon after the failed Gamescon

And why haven't they said anything about it, maybe because they were hoping no one would notice as I'm sure it will be another massive PR disaster?

With every dollar spent on SC being equal to 4 dollars at a scrub tier studio it's by far the most expensive game ever attempted. Thank you for reading.

This is clear because CIG spend no money on marketing. Other companies would spend half their budget just on advertising at release. CIG are paving a new road in this regard.

Also consider that when they called me out in the media - during which they lied - after I wrote a blog, then croberts subsequently wrote an entire diatribe with me as the focus, I think it stands to reason that they (by way of Chris, Sandi, Ortwin), made it personal. So, seeing as they know that there are people talking to me, and that there are public people reading my writings, I see how they would do everything they can to thwart and discredit me.

I think my 3.0 revelations since last year, hit them harder than most, since it was 100% on the money.

Just wait, the worst is yet to come, and I am still waiting the "all clear" before I commit it to writing. It's completely unprecedented and is the final phase in the E.L.E.

Just about everyone has let him down .
As he chugs back vodka in a wilmslow bar with his old school friends  ( who don't actually want to be there ). He ruminates on his situation. Somewhere beneath his luxurious thatch of natural and well groomed hair , he knows the jig is up.
 Nothing is panning out as intended. He didn't show the sq42 trailer at gamescom after all because he's now decided to quietly roll it into sc proper and it won't be a standalone but the backers aren't ready for this bombshell yet.
  His oldest most trusted cohorts have told him the 3.0 presentation went down a storm but the internet says otherwise ? Why can no one keep up with his vision ? Why is he surrounded by fools ?
  The tarmac is running out . The one huge secret that only himself and these four guys drinking with him know about could become public before Christmas. Winter is indeed coming.
  Time to turn off the emails and lay low for a while  . Citizen con is not far now. He can do this . The vision must not fade , one last bespoke presentation . But it must be as smooth as butter no more fuckups his editing team had to chop over an hour from gamescom before they had anything looking even vaguely competent. People are asking questions. People he really doesn't want asking questions..... financial people.
  It's time to activate the plan . He needs a scapegoat for this final phase. Whose it going to be .....

First of all, since my very first game, I have used the industry standard build/patch numbering scheme. Most recent:


CIG. A comedy of failures.

And they're not even out of Alpha yet, but they're using numbering scheme for a live released title. Because clearly we know nothing about game development.


1.0 (Arena Commander) https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link//14399-Star-Citizen-Patch-V100

0.8 (Hangar) https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/13909-Arena-Commander-Launched

0.x (Hangar) https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/13233-Hangar-Module-Released
[/quote]

The thing to realise with this one is that Chris believe the game really is in 2.0+. 1.0 was the first release of the game. You are playing it. That is the game.

edit: The trick is to not read any replies before you reply.

At release it was kind of bad. It felt okay at the start, but going into late game everything slowed to a crawl as you had to micro a million things. Is this still the case?

It still has the problem most of that type of game suffers from where you end up going through screen after screen checking that certain numbers are between certain values and mindlessly upgrading everything that has an icon on it telling you to.

In my experience.

There's, ummm, well there's a few fundamental design issues glaring like lighthouse beacons with that "design?".

If they are going for something with a design brief of "hover bike must have the capacity to remove pilots view of the ground to enable rocks to remove pilots legs as he flies along blissfully unaware of what he's flying over" then sure, that design would be great.

I see from the WIP picture that they are going for the "slam it into the ground nose first to land like a lawn dart" method of parking it.

Also, "how's that badly strained neck coming along commando?"

At this point I'm almost 100% positive that the designers are getting their inspiration from Ann Summers toy departments. :)

They could actually put it to good use in a new game module.

"Shooting commando's in their exposed nuts as they skim over you".

They could call it, "Nutshot commando" I guess, although that probably doesn't sound like what it's supposed to represent. :D
