Star Citizen will potentially give many of us a game to play for the rest of our life posted:I'm drinking a little bit but hear me out. How long ago did WoW come out? And people are still playing it religiously to this day. Think about it. Not only that but the potential for immersion from the world CIG is building details to is insane. Once this project is done many will realize this is how a VIDEO GAME is made (Some are even realizing it now). Sure there are many types of games for different people, but this I really feel will be the mainstream one day because again look at World of Warcraft. quote:Being 50, I'm quite happy for another 10 years of development and feature creep - will be ideal for my retirement! (Genuine comment) quote:35 here and right with ya on that sentiment! quote:36 and you can count me in! Our retirement homes will hopefully have VR and we can space travel! quote:As an original backer, I have always called it my retirement game. Just sitting here, continuing to pledge a bit more now and then and let them develop it. Looking forward to my future years! quote:I'm only 25 and expect to play SC for decades, if not until I die. quote:I have been playing Ultima Online since my older brother got into the beta test in '97. quote:I agree to the extent that this is the exact reason this game HAS to succeed. it's setting the bar and will rescue the mmo world from sad pathetic cash grabs with little content and no staying power. or games that cater to the chinease/anime crowd with ridiculous flashy colors nothing but female characters and overly large weapons. in games that lack depth and content.

quote:I spend a fair amount of time reading community discussions and feedback but I shy away from engaging as it can become a full time job, one that I don't have available time for as running a company of 630 people spread around the globe, while directing two projects already takes way more than 40 hours a week, especially as we now have to "over" communicate internally as almost everyone is working from home. Look at him stumbling over excuses trying to cover the lie that he's working more than 40-hour weeks on SC. Me thinks you doth protest too much, sir. So many people under his leadership! How could he possibly find the time?! Its almost like he saw the thread and felt like he had to cover. (not that he reads us lol) quote:Question is "How is the Dynamic Economy shaping up? and is server meshing an essential requirement before Quantas show up?" ...what do you mean increasing? How can you increase something that hasn't shown up yet? This is so much bullshitting and bluster. Also if you weren't making poo poo up, this should be pretty trivial? He's literally saying "We have to connect some servers that do one thing to the game servers" which should just be... a given. So really he's saying "we haven't coded this yet" quote:Linking to various game services; these are specific services for things like shops, commodities, resources, encounters (probability volumes, AI spawns), and service beacons that any DGS can query to get the global state of the universe. Services are how Quantum communicates the state of the universe (what you are calling the dynamic economy) to the various game servers. It’s done this was to not overload Quantum, each service caches and updates the global state of the aspect (say prices of items in shops) it is in charge of from Quantum (which is simulating this in a singular universe view) and then can share that on demand to the various DGS that query it. Is he having a stroke!? quote:Doing this allows us to scale the DGS count and not worrying about overloading the singleton that is the Universe Simulation. ....WHAT? The server mesh is a singleton? You would... overload it? Why? How? What the gently caress? quote:Improving Quanta (the representation of a group of AI in the Universe Simulation) ability for their traits and proficiencies to drive their actions and occupation. Translation: Nothing is coded yet quote:Improving the Star Map and Player analytics so you can have a full view of the player’s activities (travel, combat, purchases etc.) Translation: We also need to code the map quote:Last year’s demo at CitizenCon ( https://youtu.be/_8VFw1F-olQ ) demonstrated the high level simulation approach we are planning to take but a lot of the “plumbing” necessary for a player to feel the effect of a dynamic universe shared by all players (not just solitary 50 player instances) wasn’t in, so the work that has happened since then was a necessary step to link it back to gameplay so people can see the cause and effect that a dynamic universe will bring. So what we showed you was a bullshit concept demo, it wasn't real gameplay, and we had to since then actually start coding some stuff to make it real, but we haven't finished it yet. quote:Over the next couple of quarters the team is going to work on further fleshing out Quanta behaviors and variety (tourists, entertainers, blue-collar workers, white collar office workers, etc.) and continue linking the overall simulation to the services to allow it to start to drive things in the game you are playing I thought you just had to increase it Chris?! quote:Fuel and repair costs are likely to be the first instance of pricing driven by the backend simulation (versus a formula in the service which it is now). What will it mean to have "quantum" fuel costs, if that's the only thing on the market that's dynamic? Won't all fuel supplies go down, which means all prices will go up, unless other agents and commodities are also in the quanta system? quote:Tony’s goal (goal != promise ) is to have elements of the Dynamic Universe start to come online next year, likely towards the back half of the year, where player’s actions can impact both the Dynamic Economy and other players. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA END OF 2021 JUST TO GET THE DYNAMIC MARKET GOING AND THAT EVEN ISN"T A PROMISE I AM DEAD

Bootcha posted:Why the gently caress does an object state need loving fidelity? Objects in a "quanta" state are managed on a abstract way, it's only when players get close to them that they are instanced. So, if box of X is being delivered by the quanta engine and you get close, it'll become an actual box you can interact and modify. But unless you have iCache what you did won't be saved when you move away. So with iCache you can do things like putting a tracker inside that box, which will be afterwards be delivered to someone else by the quantum simulation, so when they put the box in their ship you'll be able to track 'em. This is what backers believe.

quote:We're slowly approaching the point where we'll see the big items starting to appear, and the whole game starting to shape up. We've likely got a couple of years to go still before it really starts looking like the game we're hoping for (and that's just to start looking like it - not to finish it), but we do seem to be approaching the start of the up-curve. This was too good: "a couple years to go", "just to start looking like it - not to finish it"  Who of you posted it really?

If funding ever dries out and the project collapses from lack of funds, Chris will say "There just wasn't enough money", and his disciples will agree that his ambition was too great for the shoestring-budget he was afforded, and that the game would have been amazing and complete if people weren't so stingy and just coughed up the 2 billion dollars they needed.

So after days of hype from the community for some sort of macro-level explanation of the state of SC; Chris just gave a rambling non-answer for something that was already talked to death. In the end, commodity prices will just randomly tick up and down, and CIG will claim that it’s the result of a dizzyingly complex simulation.
