And who know ? Maybe SQ42 will be a loving masterpiece revitalizing the genre. Maybe lightning will strike twice. The Pyramyds and the Great Wall show that if you throw enough money and human suffering at a problem great things are possible. Its wastefull and barbaric for the slave doing the works, but your legacy still stand the test of time. Who know what will emerge from this dumpster fire at the end ?

i dont know that lightning has struck once yet

also my bet on what emerges is ashes, suicides and thinkpieces

No. From what was told to me, evocati were testing different builds. In a day, they send out multiple builds. Some are more focused on flight dynamics while others on FPS gameplay. The evocati have their own chat, discord, ptu forums, etc. They're all in one test group, but testing different things. The results are tabulated and they'll use those to streamline the builds so that the can get it out to PTU quicker.

this sounds like the stupidest, most inconsistent, rear end-backwards way to test anything, so i guess it might be true

Okay, I'm honestly getting loving sick of this word, so imma ask: Is evocati literally the name CIG gave to their creme-de-la-creme testers? This wasn't some label tacked on by evil goonies or such, this is literally what they came up with?

Because if so... :laffo:

it is meant to be... evocative

Also a senior programmer for SQ42 that was in charge, according to Chris Roberts, of the "not difficult" task of making ships dock together, land and all sorts of stuff in SQ42 left. According to moma this is normal turnover though and nothing at all to worry about in the slightest, senior programmers leaving months before SQ42 ships probably just means everything is done already and they're holding it back because of spoilers. I dunno if he was laid off or left but... hahaha, ok, I'm sure he left, he probably ran out the fire exit before anyone could stop him grinning from ear to ear.

The end of the year livestream can't go without a bang. SM alone is not going to cut it. I would legit be surprised if CIG does not show some kind of demo/video about SQ42 or similar. After all they were almost there a couple months ago... right?

you're thinking too much like a succesful company. think about what the minimum viable product necessary to fleece a couple more million out of some desperados is and assume they'll land slightly below that

So I'm guessing the clothing tech has been dropped? I mean it's in game here, where the gently caress is it in sc? So all they had to do was convert that system to their game (both cryengine) and they couldn't manage? Instead they poo poo out a half assed version that is ironically the central feature of the current alpha and core gameplay loop, doing poo poo to buy clothes...

lovely crowdfunded closed development obvious hacks Warhorse Studios continue to show "progress" on their "game" that is currently in an "alpha state" where all of the intended games features are "implemented". Notable pieces of information include a dramatic three and a half hours of motion capture for a single player narrative game (it took them a whole month), numerous examples of where ambitious features had to be cut for the interest of gameplay, and artists being tasked with the alien concept of "optimization".

Clearly a scam.
