I'm starting to think everyone saying that SC is a waste of talent, might actually be wrong.

I wonder what the reality behind the shift is.

On one hand, it seems that the focus on SQ42 was precipitated by declining funds, leading Roberts to feel that if he was to poo poo on the world before running out of cash, he had to put all resources on SQ42 this year while he still could.
On the other hand, it seems that they could have milked this cow for far longer before everyone gave up hope and saw it for the scam that it has become, meaning he could have kept up the regular pace on SQ42 just fine.

It seems odd to me, although ultimately I am pleased, that he decided to go this route - he is, as you stated, forcing his own hand. If and when SQ42 releases, the media will be merciless, and the most fun part of this wreck will begin in earnest. He just may be deluded enough about this turd that he thinks it's impossible that he'll get anything but industry-wide accolades. So many good times coming. So many.

If they are to have any hope of not getting hosed when this ship starts sinking they'll have to be able to claim that they delivered the products people paid for which necessarily includes Squadron 42. Then if that flops and the money runs out...

When I read his posts I got the impression that he was in for $2500, got a refund and then bought back in for a lower figure when 2.0 came out, not the other way around.

no, he definitely bought back in for 2500 because :downs:

but its ok because he totally turned a profit selling ships :laugh:

I caused some drama on the pvp2 server today. My name on there is Derek Smart Fan

I am a british on there and was participating in a port defense against some smallish american clan called USS. I hosed a couple of thier ships up and then fireshipped into their lines when they caught me on fire, pretty early in the battle. Went into spectator mode afterward and started talking poo poo. Told them they could still flee, etc, told them USS stood for United States Sunk, and started listing their ships as they sunk. Eventually started saying 'yankee go home' over and over, and then spammed all the lyrics to "Heart of Oak," the british navy anthem.

We beat em, battle was over, started gloating in Global. Guys in the main US zerg guild started talking poo poo about how they'd capped some who-cares ports half way across the world from britain recently, told them "no one care." "no one care enough to go defend them no one care."

He got salty and said "you know what, i gotta tell you something Derek." "What happens next, is because you opened your mouth Derek."

Followed by lots more poo poo talking about how they were coming for us, they were gonna kill everyone at Kingston, we weren't going to have a capitol anymore, blah blah.

4 hours later, their ships of the line finally show up, along with their prized possession, the Pavel 2nd rate they crafted, their first one, the first one on the American faction, maybe the first one on the whole server.

It got sunk along with the rest of them in a big battle outside kingston. They got their poo poo pushed in.

yankee. go. home.

Thought it deserved mention here :gary:

It can, it is. They have stated as much. They had a big meeting of the minds earlier this year to plan out some kind of roadmap for PTU updates but my guess is that really meant lining up their planned ship sales for the rest of the year. They use the term 'incremental development' as shorthand for 'we're making it up as we go along', and as Scruffpuff noted in a post 100 pages ago, they've shown just how true that suspicion is with their PTU updates.

I am quoting it in full because it's the answer to your question in elaborately damning detail.

One of these days, I really need to watch an episode of 10 For The Charlatan. (Which is what my mind read when I saw 10 For The Chairman.)

But fuckit. I'm not providing CIG with handwavium explanations for their lore for free. I have other great ideas, but if CIG are interested, they can PM me, and we'll discuss a 'consultant' role, with my exhorbitant fee being paid into my account in the Cayman Islands.

Naaaaah, you need a heavy element to strip particles from to accelerate. Can't have a particle projector without particles.

Y'know, if Chris-R is really itching to talk about SQ42, then he can just put some "submitted questions" in his next 10FTC that ask him about it.

That leads me to suspect that he doesn't care all that much about the game-elements of SQ42.

Sorry I misunderstood and got this the wrong way around. I thought I was supposed to post complete poo poo and every third post (or less) write something that took a little thought.

This is also an acceptable (if more common) strategy. For reference, see every post I've ever made (about two of them are effortposts).

Also, for maximum shitposting make sure to reply to each person who quoted you in a separate post, and try to do it out of order like I'm about to.

Well, as someone who joined up a scant handful of months before you and created this monstrosity:

I feel comfortable giving you advice on posting etiquette (that I clearly know loving nothing about) so yes, go ahead and do this, but if you're going to post pictures of animal poo poo, at least badly paste a shitizens face on it first.

I think goons should submit some solid questions on how SQ42 is going and some of his vision for it. I suspect he'll be far more excited to answer those- and more likely to say something really dumb.

God damnit, that cooldown is such a pain in the rear end, too... I knew I should have put more points into shitposting.

In other, completely unrelated news, my girlfriend edited, blew up, and framed a picture of a stingray I took, and now for the first time I have something I made hanging on my walls by my desk. It's a weird feeling, but it's pretty cool to be like "Hey, I made that poo poo. That's awesome."

I highly recommend printing poo poo out and putting it on your walls.

You need to have certifications for consoles before that.

to be perfectly honest, this is the part i'm looking forward to the most

they have to release their pre-alpha-alpha builds wholesale about 8 or 9 times per version before it starts even resembling something playable

it's bad enough with a digital download console game (especially if they're dealing with SCEE), but could you imagine what this is going to look like if they do a physical game disc, where every one of the 6 day one patches is "redownload it from scratch again"?

How do you roadmap a game where scope expands with every nebulous answer to a softball question? How do you plan to tackle infinity itself? And can you imagine the furor if something is left off the roadmap that some whale has hung his entire immersion on?

Didn't they just hire an archivist? Perhaps she can go through the giant shitpile of information they've spewed out on countless videos of mostly-noise & scrape together an actual feature set, which they could then try and roadmap. But they'd actually have to stop letting anyone talk about random poo poo on camera multiple times a week & focus on actual development.

So that's not gonna happen.
