Anyone know who made the Stimperor artwork? This picture in particular:



Asking as I'd like to use it for art as a playable Stimpire race in a public mod for another game (Stellaris), and thought I should at least make some effort to get the artist's permission/name for credit, rather than just doing a Ryan Archer.

When you're nearly 4 and half hours into your stream and mention that nobody is playing Star Marine and you've only managed one match.

Purely hypothetical of course and totally NOT true in any way .
But imagine if Gary Parpman was promised a royalty based on his performance , imagine that he took a slight pay cut for this . Imagine he signed a specific deal for the use of his likeness.
Now imagine that somehow CIG were deemed to have used his image inappropriately. Say like releasing pre-production mocap set ups and unauthored textures of his face etc . Now let’s pretend that CIG have slipped ever so slightly behind with sq42 and those royalties seem less and less likely, even so far as Mr Parpmans original contract clearly specified a date that has now sailed past . Let’s say that Mr Parpman has called his agent ....

Now lets check if Mr Parpmans agent is the same one he had when filming Sq42

Like I said, just a hypotheseis from a low level wig technician that once walked past the LA office

yeah but

• the people running AGS are old, old buddies with Chris Roberts
  
• Amazon stated they would take a loss of $750m over 4 years to jumpstart their games program
  
• they hired john loving smedley to run a studio

Last time CR released a game you either had to pay full sticker price, or wait like 3 years for it to show up in the bargain bin. Does he know that has changed? Does he realize many gamers expect to see big discounts within the first year? Or does he really expect Squad42 to sell hundreds of thousands of copies at $60 a pop? LOL

As a former software analyst this makes me really salty. he basically outlines problems my position was invented to solve like 2-3 decades ago

also if I were an actual fan or even employee of CIG and read that I'd be really nervous, because he basically is saying "fans are expecting too much of us, and we're too incompetent to do even a tenth of it"

CR posted:

But first as many of you know, the team is very focused on completing our three zero update for the persistent universe. Err so three zero is a giant leap forward from what is currently available in the game and thanks to the dev teams hard work the majority of three zeros new features are almost complete and we have shifted into the final phase of the production process that focuses on feature and content integration, optimisation and bug fixing.
Now we are also expecting many new players or people who have been busy playing something else to come back in and log in and play three zero. So we wanted to make sure the user experience is really good so we have decided to spend more time polishing and optimising than we have in recent releases. Err in addition we are also aiming to introduce our new delta patcher so you will only need to download just the files that have been changed for each subsequent patch, which means no more 30 gigabyte downloads. Err but of course this will require some fine tuning err and a lot of testing to make sure it works as intended.
Now we know that three zero is a big release and you are all eger to play and err um we are all excited for you to play to and we can't wait to get it done err but we want to make sure it's ready so err if you have read the list of caveats we gave when we first started sharing our internal unpadded schedules, our very first point was quality will always trump schdule and the second and third points about task estimates you know being unpredictable due to the nature of development is something that hasn't been done before and the difficulty of estimating bug fixing and polish time are also important to remember as we go forward err with our schdules on err finishing three zero.
So that's why we have seen the constant changes to production schedule over the past few weeks as new issues or advancements cross our paths we have worked hard to communicate those to you no matter how good or bad the news may be err by its very nature game development can be an exhilarating and frustrating and unpredictable process arr so if our three zero schedule wasn't that you wouldn't be getting the true development experience.

I'm laughing so hard at the idea of earnestly being asked how many toilets your sci-fi spaceship in you sci-fi spaceship game will have, and thinking the question matters enough to put on an official FAQ.

I feel like I need to establish a canon number of toilets for Stellaris ships now.

Oh my god, The Agent's posts were just amazing.

It makes so much sense too, why CIG's demos for Gamescon and Citizencon 2016 were so uncharacteristically polished and smooth. They literally had nothing other than their lovely broken 2.x build and just hired Behaviour Interactive to mock up a 'game' which showed their plans.

If and when CIG financially implode, it'll be an absolutely spectacular clusterfuck, and I can imagine tons of publications will be picking through the remains afterwards trying to figure out what went wrong, and the only answer that will come up will be a big neon red flashing sign saying "CHRIS ROBERTS" over and over.

That said, Behaviour Interactive looks like they did a pretty sweet job with the 3.0 demos, maybe they should start a kickstarter for a space trading game?

A person who got super secret access to a publicly funded alpha that is made proudly with 'open development' but only shown to a select few makes a video and has to use video editing software to remove a watermark from it and blur his name to remain anonymous.
The video shows the culmination of over half a decade and $160 million worth of work carried out by 400 people.
In the video a space bike jitters wildly and flickers into view. Over 25% of the 1 minute long video is glitches. The rest looks remarkable in how dull it is.
This is it, this is Star Citizen.

Nah, it's some form of dynamic instancing where they can partition a region of space and assign it to a new server. How it is going to work is completely up in the air because like the CIG employee said, they haven't even started on it yet and are working off Croberts imagination.
