Still there (also sidenote, poor Mark Strong is going to have a rough year) and if you do ever figure it out, please let me know. So far my only hard and fast rule is that having producer in your name entitles you to at least one completely rubbish pet idea that gets rammed through into the final product.

When EightAce made that comment about the helipad it made me end up finding Foundry 42's location to see if they had one. Instead I found this.quote:The heart of Manchester, England is also the heart of Star Citizen’s Squadron 42 single player game. This fully-equipped development team is responsible for creating a unique cinematic experience in the Star Citizen world. A AAA game in itself, Squadron 42 is using groundbreaking cinematic techniques and best-in-the-industry game design to craft a narrative you won’t want to put down. If their game design is best-in-the-industry, why is the only gameplay we've actually seen such poo poo? Ben flat out said that Arena Commander represented the dogfighting we would see in Squadron 42. Is anyone actually pleased by that?

Hey Derek smart you mentioned a "nest egg," I imagine Chris Roberts must have been amassing quite a bit of money of his own between wing commander and now - is that what you're referring to? Would he put his personal fortune on the line for this, and if so, how much are we talking?

I was lucky to start following this thread (and subsequently sign up for SA) in the middle of a really top-notch Eonwe bender. I have grown up in the shadow of the elephant, so the shitposting is all I've ever known. I am truly blessed.

When i was getting ready to finish grad school, a professor was really pushing hard for me to work for a company that was sending money to the university. Great benefits. Good track record. Consistently acclaimed by magazine as a "best company to work for" etc. I did a round of interviews, couldn't come to terms on something (I think it was relocation allowance), and backed away. That was Enron. Now, the people I was talking to, they didn't know about the crazy poo poo going on at the top. And I won't try and pretend that I had some kind of intuition, or even "if it looks too good to be true..." levels of warning. When you are 22, and someone is throwing around that kind of money, it is easy to be overwhelmed. They were exposed before I finished my thesis. I ended up taking an industry position for 1/3 of Enron's starting offer. I guess what I am saying is I am a poor and will be linking my patreon account shortly. Also thank you to peter gabriel for the videos and G0RF for the long-con that has been going a few weeks. I remember reading the "takes up my entire screen" comment and knowing that was a goon.

G0RF posted:David Braben. But he's much too polite to say anything about it. Braben has the opposite problem. Elite is a far more immersive and polished experience than anything Star Citizen has ever hinted at, yet it continues to suffer from a complete lack of reasons to actually play the game. Give players the ability to do poo poo on their own in some corner of the universe far away from the bubble and it would be awesome.

AP posted:Well I dunno, faking the counter doesn't logically make any sense to me as the new backers don't pay any attention to it, even the whales ignore it now. I made an effort post on it a while back. The thing about CIG is everything devious I think they do is to their own advantage and I don't see any advantage to faking that counter (aside from not lowering it for refunds which there's no real expectation for them to do). ...unless they're using the counter as a condition for operational loans. Like it has to stay over a certain threshold. So if they are faking it, and their creditors discover it, well then it's

I keep harping on about it to anyone who even gets tangentially close to the subject, but I consider Conspiracy of Fools to be one of the best crime/drama/thriller books I've read. Except that it's a journalistic exposé of the whole company from start to finish. For your perspective, I would probably suggest Anatomy of Greed to see exactly what kind of experience you missed out on: the story of a freshly cooked MBA that started at Enron in March 2001. It's pretty good but since it's a personal-perspective account, it lacks the epic grandeur of Conspiracy. Berious posted:Yes it's Windows fault that a badly programmed game update borks your machine. Even Fart Shitizen wants to shut that guy up boot.ini strikes again. Granted, I maintain that part of that was Windows' fault — the system should not allow its core files to sit fully exposed in a world-writable directory and have some incompetently made game remove them.

Give players the ability to do poo poo on their own in some corner of the universe far away from the bubble and it would be awesome. By the way, did any of you guys see this player concept? Using text-to-speech voices in game to create dynamic radio chatter (instead of getting texts)? It doesn't solve the "give player interesting objectives and complex reward systems" issues but still, I would absolute love something like this. The voices sounded close enough to feel real, and you can successive iterations that added greater degree of (forgive me) immersion. I would love if Frontier did this-- because I picture Chris seeing it, realizing Braben is beating him on immersion in an improvement over Freelancers npc radio chatter-- and then demanding his dev team reverse engineer something STAT. Actually he'd probably just have them make a video as "something we hope to have out to you guys soon" and then have another sale. rebounded posted:Also thank you to peter gabriel for the videos and G0RF for the long-con that has been going a few weeks.

Come to think of it, that's one of the things I really enjoyed with Freelancer too: yes, the universe was ridiculously scaled and had an event horizon that's shorter than what I can see from my apartment window on a misty day… but it still seemed actually alive and inhabited due to the constant back-and-forth between different ships in the same part of space.
