MeLKoR posted:To be fair it would be pretty hilarious if they did a "Making of" documentary and didn't have any footage taken during the making. Or that Chris hosts it all in a mocap suit. And as the docu goes on ping pong balls keep falling off, bounces on the wooden floor a few times, and no one acknowledges or watches it. Chris: "And here is one of our artists, Mike, tell them what you are doing at the moment Mike." Mke: "Well I am masking a new color on top of some engine exhaust assets we created a year ago, they will be part of a new ship we will be selling next month." *camera pans back to Chris in a flop sweat and wide eyed grin.* happyhippy fucked around with this message at 17:04 on Mar 4, 2016 |

She never visited the office, but ran the whole operation from her flat via angry telephone calls and faxes. Occasionally she would log onto the internet in the early hours and respond to company emails (which was the task of the office manager, not her). She'd send angry rants about doctors to the office, not realising she'd also cc'd the doctor in question... Monday mornings were always damage control mornings. lol

You don't want people thinking that a developer might know when he can get something done.

Or he would come up with some other revisionist history where it was done, but then shitizens wanted something more added, so it's their fault for making poor squatcrobblers do more work to appease them.

Beet Wagon posted:I realize this is from a ways back at this point, but if you fly too close to something the ship's computer should go into the "Landing gear deployed/retracted" freakout for a couple seconds and the be like "Oh man... what just happened to me?" These are some of the ideas I had: ## Landing Gear Status "Landing gear deployed" "Landing gear retracted" “Landing gear indifferent" “Landing gear disorganized" “Landing gear mutinous" “Landing gear PC_LOADLETTER" "Landing gear 404 Not Found" “Landing gear drunk" “Landing gear embarrassed" “Landing gear self-aware" “Landing gear isn’t here right now, would you like to leave a message?" “Landing gear is going through a difficult breakup right now..." ## Landing Status "Landing successf-" "Landing not successful" "Landing outcome uncertain" “Landing unconfirmed" “Landing ineffective” (after blowing up) “Landing disastrous"

Risc1911 posted:Choosing CryEngine was the first in a line of horrible mistakes that inevitably leads to the complete re-writing of most of the engine which is the equivalent of turning a cat into an elephant by taping a garden hose to it's face and feeding it until it gets so fat it can't move any more. This gets my nomination for analogy of the week.

Evidently putting the stealthy-but-not-actually-stealth ship expressly constructed using recycled assets & the SS Chairgate up on sale has had the desired effect on the existing backers, while having the expected effect on enticing new morons.

CIG's media outflow machine working on a behind the scenes documentary isn't absurd in and of itself. It's something they said they were going to do and it was something I was actually looking forward to way back during the Wingman days. When I idiotically assumed that people like him were taking 10 minutes a week to put together something brief that captured some of the energy or emotion of that particular period to incorporate into a later effort. Being shown a video of directors Sandi and Ben setting up some kind of studio to begin working on some kind of pain chamber where people will repeat how amazing the community is for ascending their visionary into the celestial interspersed with montages of CIG's upper echelon shaking hands with Gary Oldman and ogling Gillian Anderson's most secret places while their wive's are back in the states isn't the kind of production that makes sense when the company is sinking four years after they initially pulled the trigger. If CIG was a sincere company that was actually pulling it off I imagine they would receive a very warm response with clips of a pre-black pumpkin Chris Roberts driving around with a computer tower talking about how he wasn't sure what the poo poo was going to happen with the conceptual pitch he was starting to work on would ever raise so much as an eyebrow. Rather than, you know, some kind of cynical loving effort towards establishing that one 'filmed a documentary'. Also Solar Plebian should have a risk assessment system that lets you know if the other ship costs less than yours.
