Can Chris Roberts create an NPC with so much fidelity that it white knights for its own reality?

Reminder: when people talk about "Star Citizen", this is the game they're talking about.




Babby's first steps with 3ds max's scanline renderer, courtesy of the cryengine somehow.

No coffee shop would ever have such basic branding. It would be financial suicide. This kiosk is so unimaginative that it actually becomes immersion breaking.

All those chuds getting furious over token Pride support will quietly crawl back next time there's a sale.

It'd be hilarious if Pride is somehow what kills support for SC.

Actually it's sad. I hate all these people screaming "Censorship!!?" when mods are likely just trying to protect their own community from the chuds within.

What is this contest that's happening? These post make it sound like it's money for whoever comes up with the most Stimpire Gimpsuit. And I don't care to give their site anymore traffic to find out for myself.

Gonna get mad that they pay lip service to the queer community and not that I spent thousands of dollars on the drat thing they're never going to deliver.

Guarantee anyone who uses the rainbow skin on their ship is gonna end up getting griefed by starzits while their harrassers turn around and whine that they can't get people to play with them.

I say let the players go full libertarian and watch them bitch and moan when their game is reduced to ashes by their own stupidity.

Libertarian Simulator would just be slavers jumping players at the spawn point. No real gameplay, just trolling.

CIG are in the process of completely rewriting the cloth and hair physics simulation for StarEngine, the number of articulated bones they have per item is frankly astounding, they have strand based hair and each strand has it's own collision detection. Considering they are simulating a massive open world environment what they are planning is mind boggling. They have waving flags and drifting cherry blossom petals on Orison which is on the largest fully simulated volumetric cloud gas planet in any game. Skyrim V is a mobile phone game in comparison.

Every character model will end up with a helmet or bald. Otherwise you're talking about hours of render time per frame.

This is so loving funny. I don't remember seeing Fork-Tech on the roadmap's roadmap. But I'm glad that debugging it led to developments in the Helmet-Tech.

Check out this stupid FUDster. IT'S A LIVING BREATHING UNIVERSE. This is just the latest fad trend that quanta came up with, just as innovative as when everyone was planking all over the place, or doing the cinnamon challenge.

This was good, but I was kind of hoping he would get into why server meshing is literally impossible and a clear example of people not understanding the promises they're making.

I'm confused by that bionic hand. Like clearly it's meant to provide some extra mobility to the hand, but that design can only pull the hand open. It provides no support for clasping.
