Indeed. I just want to make games, man. If I had the money to do everything I wanted to do, that would be a different story. Which is why, over the years, I stick to making sure that features in my game are solid, that the gameplay is solid and that those who buy and play my games, know that sacrifices have to be made. That's why people who buy my games, buy my games. I tend to be quite clear in my goals and there is nothing democratic about my process. My design. My game. My decisions.

Taking this Starguard carrier for example. There is no game. On the planet. That has ever done that. And it's just one more location in a massive game. Even Star Citizen with all their tech (lol!), money and stellar engineers, can't get a single location running at any decent frame rate. Let alone a multi-deck carrier in which over 256 players can exist in, at any one time.

Anyway, we have to keep working on the tone mapping. It was pretty dark before. Some people complained. We revised it. Now I think it's a bit too bright; though it is a ship and needs to be well lit at all times.

ps: Give me $50M and I will have the best graphics - and gameplay - ever.

pps: That Starguard cost about $25K to build. And that's considered cheap. Just an FYI.
No I get it, and it's a good thing that you've maintained your scope of vision. I don't really care about how you say something, you wouldn't be you if you weren't bombastic, I just care about what you're saying. Perhaps a big part of the problem is that I simply haven't seen anything about your gameplay that sets it apart. Much of what you've shown, such as with the flight model, hasn't really struck me as terribly fun or engaging. But as you say it's your design and your game and clearly there's an audience there that you've captured. I wouldn't expect you to change your vision any more than you would expect me to change what appeals to me as a gamer. With respect to your financial scope I suspect that's another reason for the negativity. People look at how you are attacking Star Citizen and assume you're competing with it. Clearly, given your budget, that's not the case. I suspect your target market segment is closer to Angels Fall First?

The flight model is fine. I've got plenty of experience with that. e.g. I wrote this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EatDs9Q-WYM

That's not what I wanted in this game because the game is not billed as a "space combat sim". It never was.

However, since it's, you know, still in development, it is going through tweaks and revisions until it feels "right" for *this* game. Case in point: people who don't know a lick about game development, let alone flight dynamics, don't know that the view from the 3rd person camera, is just that, a "camera" view. You're not supposed to be flying around with it. That's why the aircraft pos is fixed. It was never designed to be "flown" from that perspective because the game only has two flight HUDs (3D cockpit or clean screen - from 1st person). Now people are flying from a 3rd person camera (note that the game cannot be played from 3rd person, even in infantry mode), I now have to decouple that so it looks correct.

Anyway, I don't know which "video" you've seen which brings you to that conclusion about the flight model. I haven't shown any of that. In fact, in that Starguard video, the only reason I launched, was to show how the carrier functions. That's why I wasn't flying around. So if you are talking about Shitizens making videos of something they don't understand, you're on your own. You should try it yourself because, gently caress those guys.

No, Angels Fall First is a totally different type of game.
