That could give some 3rd world kids ~400,000 years worth of medicine/education etc. If said kids were supported for 20 years of their lifetimes then SC could have helped ~20,000 kids avoid abject poverty.

But spaceship JPEGs are pretty cool too, sorry 3rd world kids!

BROKEN DREAMS
Hellion is not even a shadow of what it was supposed to be. It is a desolate graveyard of Mankind’s hopes, dreams and ambitions scattered across the empty void. Instead of grand habitats and planets waiting to receive new settlers, there are only ruins, debris fields and empty stations.

For some reason all that sounds familiar.

Someone needs to do a (probably incredibly difficult and complicated) script to auto-edit the Ferris Bueller gallery scene where you just upload images and it spits out a video

I had the idea, that's like 90% of the work, now go program it someone! I'm just like Chris!

The backers hate Spectrum, they have dubbed it 'wrectum' which sort of what they do I guess.

Still, not to worry, their collective minds have come up with a nice and simple solution to the layout issues, once more proving without a shadow of a doubt that they are not insane and going stir crazy - behold!

Spectrum forums are dead. Counted 19 posts made under an hour ago. This is easily checked in 5 seconds sorting by last activity. It is a holiday but its also primetime weekend a few days after the busy main forums were shut down and people should be checking out the new forum.
The entire forum is slightly busier than this one thread in a subforum of a subforum.

Its dead.

The current leader of the referral contest needs 1,431 more referrals before August 8th to win the trip to GamesCom. So in 104 days he has to make CIG a minimum of $57,240. This evens out to almost 14 pledges ($550) per day.

This is impossible.

At least they tried, concierge level backers will cry.

You can't say they didn't try with 7 different avatar skeletons, 2 game engines, opening 6 different game studio offices & 4 motion capture studios. They tried and, surprisingly, no matter how well furnished the Hollywood office was, they still failed.

I'm glad I helped in my small way, no I don't expect to get any money back, I enjoyed seeing behind the scenes and was happy to pay for the privilege.

Chris Roberts is back selling cars now, I pop down occasionally and see him, we talk about old times and what might have been over a coffee, he's got a really good coffee machine there.

One day Derek will rip off the mask and reveal that Derek was really Roberts all along. He created Derek just to get people to give him more money. And he would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those meddling goons.

Checks out since the first step as we all know according to to the Book of MoMA 42:1-42:5

Thou shalt design the UI first
Let there be no code written until thine health meter display is most fidelitous
And say unto the network engineers, 'Nay, do not fix thine net code until we hast refactored the patcher music'
Ye shall know the coming of the game when thou female avatars walk upon the station
Praise be to Roberts, first of his name. Programmer of programmers.
So say ye prophet of the Lord,

I will concede the point that Chris may not be a liar IF we acknowledge, as with the 3.0 by the end of 2016, he is incompetent. If you see the laundry list of all the poo poo that has to be done to get 3.0 even 50% out, there is no way that an intelligent game designer, nay head of the company, could look at that and say "Yep a month or so now looks legit". Something has to explain the gross misses of dates and deliverables. Being a month or two off; sure I'll accept that. Stating incorrect dates over and over again with the knowledge that he has to have of where things are? Give me a break.
It's either malicious (a lie) or it's the lack of understanding of what you are doing (incompetence).
