Mirificus posted:Is it driving simulator - yes. It's funny this coming in the middle of a discussion about game engines. This citizen is almost describing a game engine. All of those things could be done, sure. What's missing is someone to actually do them. And it will never be CIG.

Mr.Tophat posted:Anyone who doesn't just post is a coward. You must become a conduit. A living vessel that allows the electricity of posting to run through you, like some high speed train in Japan that is highly efficient and irreverent to the laws of physics as it glides down the track, all passengers bowing politely from behind the windows before it crashes into a steam train full of fat bankers who wanted the genuine luxury experience of emulating the stock market crash. Become the post you were always meant to be, post irreverently, post incessantly, speculate, germinate, propagate, disseminate, discombobulate. Every post is a yoshi, to be abandoned when the apex of your jump is achieved, to be commanded to devour whatever is in front of you and shat out.

It’s June 2021 and CIG still fails do deliver SQ42. What a shitshow of incompetence. They can’t even get the broken SC sandbox with 90% content missing out of an pre Alpha stage in year 10. Please buy more ships lmao.

God, that new ship is hilariously stupid. Lame overall design? Check. Pointless, nonsensical articulation? Check! No sense of scale (outside looks like a small fighter but is apparently a freighter judging by the confusing interior layout)? Check!! It's a trifecta of poo poo. That'll be $225 please.

Dr. Honked posted:When I worked for them as a developer it was brutally awful. One of the worst employers ever, and this was when they were trying very hard to escape the "EA wives" thing. It's not just EA, a lot of smaller dev houses which take on contracted work from bigger companies on the eastern side of the world is more or less the same. Crunch is considered normal culture. Newbies have little time to learn, and generally burn out because of how there's no support for mentorship programs. Newbies that do learn and eventually climb up the ladder are rare gems. Management stays more or less the same over the years, often changing after a hefty bonus payout. Culture is basically work 24/7 until you are unable to and replaced by another fresh graduate. Team leaders / middle management generally get all the credit for their teams work. So yeah, gamedev is not very cool. In rare cases the culture is good. But more often because of crunch and ability to meet deadlines, culture is sidelined and deadlines come first. But look here at Star Citizen, a game without deadlines. Must be the best place to work!

no_recall posted:100% its not going to be a dragon. Still too creative for Chris. Every time a player warps into the area of the moon, a NPC radio communication interrupts everything - "that's no moon !" Then the camera pans through the inside of the player's face and awkwardly clips through the ship to reveal the moon cracking open like an egg! The pieces of shell start to tumble down off the sides as the truth becomes clear: it is a space station as large as a moon!

Fidelitious posted:He's still lead gameplay tester on Wing Commander II. Just really making sure that it's good, y'know. I give my bike a shake and rust floats down onto the ground much like my dandruff when I rustle my own head. "It's still good," I say as I mount the bike and plant my plodders upon the pedal. A creak emerges from the bike, followed by a clattering of gears as they fall upon the ground. I find myself falling to the pavement alongside the bike's frame as it tears itself apart. "Just like new," I say, "I am still thrilled by this."

AbstractNapper posted:It follows from "development only started in (_currentYear - 3)" If you told Star Citizens the game wouldn't be out in 2021 way back when it started nobody would have pledged, but you keep saying "it'll be done in ~2 years" and you can drag it out for 50 years and they'll keep pitching. Interesting lesson on human psychology there.

 Get ready to eat poo poo, fudsters, it's time for the Roadmap Roundup, presented by that dude from INN who now works at CI-GJakeAcappella-CIG posted:
GOD  The cheapest version of one of the oldest ships has passed its final review! Holy poo poo! All the proud owners of the worst Connie , the ship used to pad all packages, are lubricating their PrtSc key in anticipation. And the very first T1, not T0, but t1, T1, T-ONE feature is currently under review. Of course CI-G did the responsible thing and removed it from the schedule until that T is worth the goddamn 1. Finally, after weeks (maybe months) of work, the engineers at the core gameplay team managed to change the name of a deliverable because it won't deliver half of what it was supposed to deliver. That's called T.R.A.N.S.P.A.R.E.N.C.Y. you asses, and it what makes CI-G the best company around. Look at all that loving progress!!! I fully expect ladders T1, with a never-seen-before level of fidelity to be here at the latest in the middle of 2022 and you can quote the poo poo out of this post.

Rotten Red Rod posted:Wait, they don't have space mines working? Didn't they already sell a space minelayer? Learn to read , they don't have the *plan* for space mines finalized yet. Yeah, they sold a space minelayer but at no point did they mention that they had already planned how mines would function, those are completely unrelated things. Like, just because I sold you a gun why do you suppose that (plans for its) bullets exist? Entitled much? trucutru fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Jun 16, 2021 |

Rotten Red Rod posted:Wait, they don't have space mines working? Didn't they already sell a space minelayer? Lmao They sold space-land, and I'm pretty sure there's nothing you can do with it. Oh and don't forget all the ships that promise unique gameplay like the space ambulance or space journalist-mobile, which definitely do not have working gameplay. But that's significantly better than the ships that are still concepts but are being sold.

But the mine layer was sold only to the disciples of Chris The ungrateful rable were sold bombs so so so long ago and have been dreaming of homesteads to bomb, they deserve this. No having endured the YouTube reviews of there shiney new no bombs bomber they need this.

So CIG put out a letter written in alien-ese as part of the ALIEN WEEK ongoing sale of more spaceships: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/18197-Letter-From-The-Gatac-Archives And some poor idiot did a full translation of it over the course of a 4 hour stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXo3viUEAr8 Here is the translation: https://twitter.com/jale_xel_jela/status/1404941682542628864?s=19 And the summary, which will shock you:  Never change, CIG

Seriously, if EA did half the things CIG are doing people would be posting pictures on twitter of breaking their FIFA discs in protest. People would burn the EA lawn. But somehow CIG has this core fanbase that are too deep in the cult to see it.

That was a tier 0 plan and was not delivered The tier 1 plan was a year long roadmap to a roadmap also not delivered Tier 2 was a roadmap that showed nothing Tier 3 was a annoucement of a monthly show for which their was one episode The final god tier was a snarky post for CR to stop asking and his magnum opus will be done when it's done
