Wait why is this not in the stupid crowd funding place where this belongs?

My favorite part is learning the game uses the Crysis engine, but in order to have outer space adventure in an engine built for a single island, everything in the engine is itty bitty, and a ton of the physics glitches are because of how tiny everything is and the engine literally not being designed to handle it.

"My "org" is ready, right guys? Check out our "org!" We're gonna stay frosty and kill scrubs, but it's just business, kid."

"Load the photon torpedoes! Hello? Hello? Isn't anyone staffing my ship? Hello fellow "org" members, do any of you have anyone staffing your ship?"

"No, nobody on any of these ships I don't think. Are you sure this is the right place?"

"Yes, I am completely immersed in this virtual world, and as such I read on a forum somewhere that someone was planning to try and play tonight in a starter ship."

"Well we'll be ready, stand by "org" members hoo-ah, for the Republic and do your part!"

Snarf is OK, I just think he's misguided (and possibly heavily invested) and has taken on the role of fidei defensor over on the Frontier forums because there are very few other people over there willing to stand up for the game.

Admittedly there are a few souls who will kvetch about the piss taking and wonder why E:D gets cut slack when SC is getting eviscerated, but I think that's more out of orneriness and contrarianism than it is out of deep held convictions about the worth of Crobbler's magnificent octopus.

It really is nuts just how much work you have to put in to make a game work in VR. Like check out Fallout 4 versus Fallout 4 VR for an example. And they didn't even do all the work, there; I spent probably 40 hours installing, tweaking, and writing mods before I got everything working nicely. You absolutely do not just "#define VR_SUPPORT 1" and call it a day

Cockpit games, like flight sims/racing sims/space sims are a bit easier, because the player isn't running around in the world, they're glued to a seat. But hey, guess what Star Citizen hosed up here. You just had to have space legs, didn't ya

Anyone want to help me develop a new game called Scam Crowdfunder Tycoon (also know as SC Tycoon).

It will be a business sim where the main challenge will be to keep maintaining crowdfunding revenue for an indefinite period.

Something like "Mad Games Tycoon" or "Game Dev Tycoon" but instead of real games you make fake demos, 3D assets and some other BS. There will also be a "send money to Swiss Bank" game mechanic like in the original Tropico.


They are "making" it.

It says it will, but it laughs at you and calls your penis names until you buy it more ships.

skeletors_condom posted:

This is sort of related to best imaginary feature, but maybe Crobo's statement about 10K users (or whatever it was) in a single instance would work. Or even the whole server meshing BS. None of that stuff (as presented by CIG) is even conceptually possible with current tech.

Scruffpuff posted:

I've said it for years. Stay out of Reddit, point at the "game," all the humor is in the "game." The occasional Bunnyman post is funny, or the CPAP Commando, for a little variety. Otherwise the show here is the game and the people making the game. Every Reddit post here is like pulling the camera off a sitcom and pointing it to people in the audience and pointing and laughing at them instead.

Lord of the Jpegs posted:

Suddenly another voice spoke, low and melodious like a sexy bear, its very sound an enchantment. Those who listened unwarily to that voice could seldom report the words that they heard or the money they had spent; and if they did, they wondered "Will my wife find out?", for little power remained in them. Mostly they remembered only that it was a delight to hear the voice speaking, all that it said seemed wise and reasonable, and desire awoke in them by swift agreement to seem wise themselves especially when shilling on Disqus. When others, like Goons, spoke they seemed harsh and uncouth by contrast; and if they gainsaid the voice, anger was kindled in the hearts of those under the spell making them write more poo poo on Reddit. For some the spell lasted only while the voice spoke to them, and when it spake to another they smiled, as men do who see through a juggler's trick while others gape at it. For many the sound of the voice alone was enough to hold them enthralled and pretend the game was coming out; but for those whom it conquered the spell endured when they were far away in their basements, and ever they heard that soft voice whispering and urging them to buy more jpegs. But none were unmoved; none rejected its pleas and its commands without an effort of mind and will, so long as its master had control of it.

It'll be even better when some one goes full space station 13 on them and becomes the traitor and deliberately sabotages everything. CIG and the backers' dreams of having players play tedious and menial jobs will be the perfect vessel for grief, and in a way it is sad it won't really happen.

merlin was just a dumb troll. he never took a stance beyond "well it's fun to me" or "well it's better than ed now to me". he was boring and im glad he's gone.
