The reason the turnover is such a big deal is how many people with director and producer in their title. I'm not in gaming, but it was my understanding that those people stay on the project until development ends.

Well, from personal experience working in a company with a domineering, overbearing owner, you cycle through a bunch of people with lead or director in their name. Also nothing gets done efficiently. (Also not commenting on gaming though)

The craziest part about this mixing minigame is that so much of the full version of the game is required in place for it to serve any purpose

-They have to build the ship that basically a passenger plane (it's just a jpg right now)
-They have to make the ship flyable
-They have to have multi-crew in for the many seats inside
-They have to program NPCs that actually want a place to go
-They have to program NPCs to have individual demands
-They have to program ability to travel from star system to star system
-They have to program places to land
-They have to program a way to drop off and load NPCs
-They have to have a working economy to insert pricing

Ahh, but don't forget that the last time the passenger ship came up that in addition to the drink mixing minigame, you could also show your NPC passengers movies. Movies which are items that are found/bought/acquired in game. The quality and apparent varienty of said movies somehow ties into that last point in determining how much money you make for ferrying NPCs.

So more stuff to code.

Perfect. Now, we can make the next stretch goals to lose the fur and add the feathers. After that, maybe a goal to add the beak.

From RTV INN transcription

[What will the mocap studio in the office provide?] It's a shared space. They're building 3 standing spaces for community productions, one for AtV, one for Meet the Devs, something else. They'll be on wheels, so when they need to do mocap with the mocap equipment they have, they can wheel that stuff out, and do mocap in the room. Performance capture will still happen at proper studios.
There's an AtV set, an all-purpose one for interviews, and a third one for a new 'Dev vs. Dev' show.
https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/3rsofi/reverse_the_verse_episode_70_inn_transcript/

Hmm, cool a set for AtV, a set for Meet the Devs, a set for this "Dev vs Dev" thing. I wonder where they do the actual programming?

quote:

They need a LOT of mocap for things. One thing they do when creating new ships is look at angles on walkways and how doors opens, and they invariably need new mocap done for each new ship that comes around.

Well that's a giant red flag of a statement.

Weren't these the cards you could only buy if you bought 1000$ worth of other virtual stuff?

Or is this some other card?
