So is Derek a fugitive of the law like the A Team?

In July 2015, a lone commando was forcefully refunded for a blog he wrote. This man promptly escaped from North Carolina to the Florida underground. Today, still vilified by the Shitizens, he survives as an Internet Warlord. If you need a refund and no one else can help, say his name three times and maybe you can hire... Derek Smart.

Can we talk about names? Because Stanton and Crusader are the dumbest system and planet names I have ever heard. Roberts is supposed to be a visionary fidelity master or whatever and the only names he can come up with would be lovely on a memorial library.

Guys, I'm heading out to the Bradford system to drop off some cargo to the colonists on planet Musketeer. I hope a commando doesn't hide in the crates!

They already can't keep commandos from clipping through drat near everything, now add collision detection for 1000 players, their ships, bullets, cargo containers full of hiding commandos, etc. This is potentially a huge computational bottleneck that CIG will definitely solve with their Top Men when they can't even get a door to function properly.

Virtual Captain posted:

https://starcitizentracker.github.io/ has a few new visual enhancements. Added fidelity if you will.

Probably the most useful is percentages of each status:


The original list comes from SC wikia, and has promise dates for prettymuch everything now. The page needs dates to tell if something is stagnant or a more recent promise.

I really did not anticipate doing this much data entry myself but even the totally open google doc got barely a handful of edits; probably half of which were just people messing around with the sorting.
The good news is once each promise has a approximate date and an optional link, I don't expect much to change very fast. CIG being themselves.
The bad news is there is still about 2 years of 10 for the chairman promises to consider. Thankfully the summaries on http://scqa.info/ make that much easier than watching the videos.

Msg me on discord if you are interested in editing the sheet.

Lol, this is probably more useful to CIG employees than whatever the hell they're doing internally now.

Post-3.0 Release, Late 2017

Chris Roberts: [...] I sort of get annoyed sometimes when I see this pop up in comments like "Oh, Star Citizen is cancelled" or "Where's Star Citizen?!" Star Citizen was just a dream for people to imagine until I could finish making my movie using their money. NOCLIP flight model, T-posing around, shooting worse than an amateur CryEngine mod, that's what's in 3.0. That's what's in the minimum viable product.

Everything about this game, from the 40 shows CIG makes every week, to the excuse documentaries (Road to Citizen Con aka stdh.mp4) to the backers claiming how much fun they're having in the "verse" has the strong stench of STDH. You could end anything Star Citizen related with "and that developer was Albert Einstein" and it would work.

Inventing nuclear powered bullets in Chris Roberts' physics simulator is a huge accomplishment that represents many large milestones being passed.

Nuclear-powered bullets, but commandos still have to load cargo by hand because auto-loaders or even forklifts are too advanced in the year 2900.

doingitwrong posted:

And it is. Feature prototyping plays a crucial role in the early days of any game, especially a AAA one. But when people talk about a game being in development for years, often the first few years of that game's life are done with a skeleton crew. A core group of programmers and designers, with an artist or two, working primarily with grey boxes and WIP assets to validate design ideas and asset pipelines. Only once you have a solid idea of the core gameplay loops and the technical requirements to realize your vision do you staff up. Generally, you put this together in something called a vertical slice.

This whole post is great but I wanted to highlight this because I vaguely remember some dumb citizen calling Elite Dangerous "skunkworks trash" and I always found it hilarious.

When you look at a bunch of mobiglasses lined up next to eachother, only render the ones you are directly looking at and blur and stop rendering all the others.

Something like that, I'm guessing. Will probably looks like rear end though.
