Hello friends. I truly hope everyone is doing well, physically, mentally, and in all other ways. Hope the same for the misguided backers and the overworked employees of CIG. Life's too short to spend it miserable, furious, or otherwise dispirited. For those who wondered, I'm still alive. Had some health issues a year back. Took a break from a lot of things, including from posting in this often wonderful and informative thread. Glad to see its gentled up some from when I left. Anyway, awkward member re-insertion banter aside, here is a new infographic about 3.0, for those of you who like those sort of things. I'm aiming for fairness, so please post suggested corrections if it seems biased. EDIT: I’m dropping the final December 2017 version of the infographic into this old post below. This serves as the 1.0 Public Release Build of the image but also as the full summary of the 3.0 Overpromise then Underdeliver cycle. (Plus, it’ll make it easier for me to find it when I need it...)

Toblakai posted:Hello friend, Crazy_BlackParrot posted:Welcome back Gorf, you absence has been felt. Thank you! The existence or absence of Stanton's star (a dwarf G) from 3.0 is unclear to me, from what I've read. That was probably the chart detail I was least certain about. I consider a star properly in the system if it can be physically approached in space, as opposed to being an inaccessible, static light source. I don't assume it is, but perhaps I'm wrong about this. If it can be approached (and presumably blow up your ship if you get too close) then that would meet the minimum requirement for me and I'd definitely correct it. I want this to be an honest depiction of their plans. toanoradian posted:What does the ">1" of the amount of star systems mean? My eyesight is failing. I missed that. Here is a correction.

Virtual Captain posted:Concerning timeline: Thanks for making this point, and to DarkOff for a similar one. I've adjusted wording on the chart so that it doesn't give the appearance that news of downsized launch systems broke with the recent Gamestar interview. I don't really have the room in this particular timeline to stretch back to 2015 and show it as a multi-stage process, but I think this solves the problem of inaccuracy.  I now need to catch up with the newer pages here. Hopefully I didn't miss any other corrections (though happy to make them.) G0RF fucked around with this message at 23:45 on Jul 18, 2017 |

Latin Pheonix posted:Btw Gorf, i love the infographic but there's one small mistake: crusader isn't even fully implemented yet, thats's 'planned' for 3.2. If anything it's even more embarrassingly empty. Yeah, I know that it's just a big floating sphere right now, a far cry from this:  and this: quote:The planet then became home to a military-constructed latticework of habitable floating platforms, since expanded exponentially to suit the needs of Crusader Industries. The situation is unusual, but ideal for Crusader, which makes large-scale commercial transport ships which would otherwise need to be built beyond the atmosphere. Being built in open air allows the cost of these ships to be reduced by almost 40% on the back end, which is often passed along to consumers. The company also provides quality housing for their employees — both in planetside domes and in habitats woven into the latticework — and the portion of the world available to visitors is usually considered the nicest port in the system. The shipyards themselves are eerily beautiful, with huge transport ships suspended in mid-atmosphere surrounded by a lighted webbing of Crusader facilities. It's the MVP Crusader, but there's something technically there, desperately awaiting the assets and artwork that will transform it from a placeholder to a place of wonder. That at least distinguishes it from the rest of the planets in Stanton, along with (I believe) the Star, and the several dozen additional space stations Chris also casually mentioned would be added to Stanton before its Christmas 2016 launch... (also just adding for all while writing this, thank you to everyone else who has written nice messages to me in the thread since the last time I said thanks. I sincerely appreciate it everybody.)

Whew! So it took me awhile to read through all the comments about the chart on /Games. Though there were lots of crazed invocations of Derek Smart, demonizations of goons, and other overreactions, I did see a few fair criticisms that I've addressed in this latest update. 1). The inclusion of the reduction percentages was redundant. Fair enough. I deleted that. 2) Chris' quote didn't include his "I get shot for making promises but that's our goal" escape clause, the line that retroactively makes it all okay. So I included that, too. 3) I also added his mention of the 30 to 40 space stations that would be coming in 3.0. (We'll see how that turns out.) 4) I also fixed a graphical problem that had white boxes behind the Planet names in the Stanton layout. So here's the latest version. If you're a DS lurker who feels like the last one was flawed or shortchanged Chris's quote, hopefully you might find this an improvement. I'm trying to be fair, even if stern.  I have to admit, lurking friends, some of your reactions were a little frustrating, given that I'd tried to avoid editorializing. The focus of the piece was timelines, quotes, and scopes for Star Systems in Alpha 3.0. The accusations that the infographic was a part of some organized FUD campaign were especially ironic, given that some of you tried to preemptively trying to counter an anticipated Derek Smart tweet and in so doing ended up creating a non-paywalled source for the /Games OP to reference. I didn't make the chart hoping for a /GAMES thread to blow up, or a MassivelyOP mention, or a psychodrama to unfold on /DS. I made it for my friends here on the forum, most of whom I haven't interacted with in a year, because organizing historical facts is something I like to do. It's clear to us by now that Chris Roberts doesn't learn from history because he keeps repeating it, so we keep discussing it, yet what I don't understand is why you keep defending it? Surely I have my own biases, as do we all, but why rage about what strangers think on some random forum? Your recurring tendency to discount the observable past while exaggerating the imagined future produces the present tensions that discomfit you so. The relief you seek yet can't find won't come from excoriating random nobodies for discussing their opinions about troubling development issues or deceptive sales tactics. You are the publisher. The ones to whom pledges have been made for accountability and openness. You're intellectually and emotionally malnourished from the parody of it served up by a guy who believes himself accountable to no one and above all reproach. A man who hasn't once in the entire history of this project ever apologized for anything despite having either intentionally or inadvertently mislead you about matters of genuine consequence for years. You deserve better than to be full-time apologists for that. I sincerely believe that --- why don't you?

Mostly Dead posted:I think that in the timeline, you have Citizencon 2016 labeled as Citizencon 2017. Ayya! The sad thing is that before I posted the first one in the thread, I proofed it a couple of times. "Spent enough time on this -- needs to be perfect..." Yet so many little errors escaped my blasted eyes. (old person sigh) Thanks for pointing it out, though! Here's the corrected version.  sorla78 posted:I appreciate that infographic Gorf, it's a beautiful thing. What's missing that really gives you the insight into the staggering promises that Star Citizen makes and the tiny progress they have to show, is when you wade through their star map and add the whole universe, with all its systems, planets, moons, jump points, landing zones and other space oddities, I mean, just think about how many space stations and other points of interest are going to be created for this (which haven't really been quantified nor qualified for the whole of the universe), and how Chris R certainly pushes them to be unique enough, so that they don't feel repativive - so a lot of time is going to be dedicated on them, regardless of the procedural generation - which then really if you add up the assets and artists available, showcases that Star Citizen is going to be a generational project, that most probably/certainly is going to limit backers for a long time to Stanton. I share this dismal opinion. In the case of the chart, I tried to stay high level for simplicity's sake. That Stanton as envisioned for 3.0 represents 0.25% of the 100 systems is only true if all the second-level assets (non-stellar objects like Stations, Cities, Bases, "the floating areas around Crusader", etc.) are complete and in Alpha 3.0. They won't be. Even with 400+ employees, fully fleshing out that single system to a level commensurate with expectations seems pretty hopeless to me, unless they mass duplicate stations and landing pads, or designate the supposedly dense-with-industry planets as unapproachable by craft. Radical simplification of the deliverable is the only hope, and not just at the asset level. Mechanics long missing may meet similar fates, and indeed, anytime I hear talk of "emergent gameplay" from a developer, it hits with the sharp rubbered thump of a football punted from deep in the opposition's field. Perhaps this explains CIG's cosplay ambitions? "Do you want to Bounty Hunt in Star Citizen? Here's your costume -- let the adventure begin!" And there you sit, in your $300 RSI Bounty Hunter outfit, contending with a crap flight mechanic and sputtering frame rates as you log in to Spectrum and search for user-generated missions awaiting completion. "Take my Bounty Mission! Kill the troll PGabz and I will send you money by PayPal since there's no in-game transfer economy yet." G0RF fucked around with this message at 23:12 on Jul 19, 2017 |

Crazy_BlackParrot posted:Gorf, do you know if the delta patcher was going live with 3.0? The Delta Force is working on it! (volume alert...) D_Smart posted:And there's the problem. The reason they have to move (LOL!!) it to Stanton is because they can't do planets, only moons and planetoids. Since there are no planetoids in Stanton, they decided to move Delamar from Nyx to Stanton so they can have the moons, and a planetoid. Yeah, I assume as they were planning out their Gamescom demonstration, they took stock of what they had lying around asset-wise and said, "Well, we did do all that Nyx work a couple years ago that we never released -- why not use Levski for it?" So then it's the centerpiece of their 3.0 demo, but now they're obligated themselves to shoehorn Delamar in to Stanton, though it makes little sense. It bears the telltale ad hoc-iness of so much of their development prioritization. It's got to be exhausting to the developers, having to fly by the seat of Chris' pants all the time.

Why don't we shoehorn Delamar and Levski into the 3.0 demo so we don't have to start from scratch, and we can just have Chris handwave its inclusion away on stage and create the appearance that everything is right around the corner while we spend the remaining time trying to flesh out all the other crap we haven't built yet."

I learned some things from reading them. 1 - Chris's programming skills are so legendary his internal nickname is "The Code Whisperer". I guess the "golden hands" rumors were true 2 - Squadron 42 is coming out this year. 3 - There is more fidelity in a single character eyeball in Star Citizen than in the entire player model of Zelda: BOTW and you will be able to zoom in and watch pupillary reactions in those high-fidelity eyeballs while laser fire flashes around you if you want to unless you are a console peasant, in which case you have base tastes and lack financial means. 4 - Star Citizen is "the world's first Quadruple A game" and nobody can compete with them. 5 - Elite's cosmetic sales are "unseemly", whereas "Star Citizen isn't about the money, it's about the vision!" So much I didn't appreciate before and it's frankly making it harder for me to keep doubting things.

doingitwrong posted:The one thing we should have learned by now is that time and Star Citizen makes fools of us all. The SC faithful have been so sure that total success is just around the corner for so long. And the SC skeptics have been so sure that total collapse has been just around the corner for so long. And everyone has been wrong. Sagacious summary, and the more closely you watch it, the slower the clock ticks. This is why debates about the future are folly, even moreso prognostications about specific ones. The road ahead is forever in fog -- Chris himself controls the fog machine. Does it lead off a cliff hidden just around the bend? Is it a few more miles of sylvan scenery heading straight to Shangri La? So long as the fog swallows all ahead, no one can truly say. This serves him quite well. After all, he has many means to buy more time, to fund further road work -- new loans, concept sales, private investors -- and these transpire in the fog of his making. But the road behind is as clear as the one ahead is opaque. It is far less open for debate, and all but the most fanatical will concede its been been a misbegotten zigzaggy marathon with far too many dead-ends, missteps and circle-backs to speak well of the navigator. This hasn't humbled his certainty in his fitness to lead. So long as his glycerin supplies last, he can blanket the future in clouds and claim it still leads to The Promised Land and ignore whatever fights blow up between believers and heretics, zealots and haters. He has an acute need to attract new followers, for the road work continues and the clouds mustn't clear. His methods for attracting more haven't changed since the Kickstarter -- promise he knows the way to Xanadu and sell tickets to those who would go there with him. But debates about how much road he's got left or whether he knows where he's going have little purchase these days. Everyone is exhausted of them. The notoriety around the project comes as much from viciousness of the fights as from the excitement about the possibilities. Those who would have constructive conversations will focus not on the future but the past, for it has a predictive power of its own that is far more difficult to refute or resist. The future isn't certain but far more can be known of it by looking in the rear-view mirror than through the front windshield.

Mirificus posted:https://twitter.com/banditloaf/status/888585097317818368 Anecdotal claims of cig-affiliated leakers running bogus disinfo campaigns to Derek -- all with cig's tacit approval -- have been a two year recurring claim on /dereksmart. What amazes me is the gleefulness some there take in the thought. It would be bad news for cig, not good, were it true. If they have colluded with parties in that fashion, endorsed efforts to misinform their most notorious critic in his ongoing war of words against them, then they look far worse than he does for the effort. It speaks so ill of their basic judgement and corporate character, as if they needed any more evidence to pile on the stack. Anyone familiar with their public record at this point can point to myriad, irrefutable examples of dishonesty and incompetence. Bad leaks because "muh Puppetmastering" (strokes beard, nods approvingly) don't dilute the case against cig, they distill it, so if there's even a smattering of truth to it, they'd be wise to clamp down on their gleeful congratulators. It may appear mad clever to the zealotry, but to most far less invested in the "War Between Saintly Chris & Evil Derek" narrative, it looks like as unseemly as stupid, and cig doesn't need to rock that look any more than they already have. Combat Theory posted:Fidelity first in mind, cig introduced a time buffer into the prediction code. This time buffer allocates a certain amount of movement lag between the physical ship and it's visual representation. It intentionally desyncs the visual ship from the actual combat code so to speak. All for havin the fidelity of smooth movement on your client. post!

Never thought I'd say this, but they need Dolvak back. He's a voice of reason by comparison.

Wiz posted:Unneccessary snoopy caps is a major issue facing today's cutting-edge dev studios and surely the cause of 3.0 delays. Sorry, Wiz, you may have some released titles under your belt, may have lots of players and positive reviews, but your reply betrays just how compromised your vision is by the constraints of traditional models of development and release. It's what we armchair developers like to call "stinkin' thinkin'". It's time to throw off the shackles, step out of the prison that is your mind and embrace the paradigm shift standing right before you, eager to free you, enlighten you, deliver you to the gestalt. You will know him by his snoopy cap. "SNOOPY CAP!"
