People today have access to pre-alphas, alphas, betas, poo poo even really early access titles that have almost no content at all. And in every case, except Star Citizen, you can see that even if the game is buggy, or featureless, that underneath it is an engine that will eventually be built and polished into a completed game. This is what I've been thinking. This game is so fundamentally flawed and to put really terrible management with it, this game wont come out in any meaningful way. They'll try to salvage something most likely and claim some group of reasons as to why the game had to be limited but they'll call it complete. Also the wet fart that SQ42 is going to be.

orcinus posted:I'm not sure they're even using multi-texturing.* poo poo. I hadn't thought of that, simply because it's just too dumb to even consider they'd do that. But it totally makes sense as to why they would be moving. Decals (a form of MT btw) would totally have that effect as a result of a bug. It would be like bullet holes on a wall that move as you move, and which don't fade over time. Decals are not meant to be permanent (for the most part). I don't even know anymore, man.

It's not an alpha. If it were an alpha you'd think basic tech like 'can support the desired number of people simultaneously' would be in place by now. By my reckoning it's probably a prototype of the local physics grid, and I'd guess the team that made it showed it to Chris and he's completely clueless about what a prototype is so he just gives the orders to go ahead and start dumping finished assets in it and release it as an alpha, and they couldn't or wouldn't convince him otherwise. On a prototype, you leave all kinds of poo poo unfinished and hacked-together because it's not part of the thing that you're prototyping and that's fine unless some idiot comes along and insists the prototype looks OK to them so it must be ready for alpha. And then you're doomed to have hacks upon hacks upon hacks and you can't fix the hacks later because it breaks the hacks on the hacks that aren't currently broken. That's the kind of thing that explains how you can have $100M, hire coders who must be mostly competent, and yet end up releasing broken dog poo poo.

EVERYONE RECORDING FOR THE STIMPIRE READ THIS When doing your recording try to get into a closet with a lot of clothes if possible. we want quiet space with out reverb. I can remove reverb but its nice to not do that If not get close to your mic unless it sound weird when doing so (proximity effect on some mics). Weird meaning the low end becomes too boomy. Record 5 seconds of tone from your mic position in your room. This gives me a long bit of silence for your specific noise and helps removing it. If you can see the meters in your recording program they should peak around here IF you are recording at 24bit (please record at 24bit): This is -12dbfs: If you must record 16bit push to the -3dbfs EDITING Edit the files so they have a second after each line and like 40ms at the front. label the audio files and edit them for your emperor... Make sure you put your initials on the file so you can get credit for your work. solar_pleb_SHIPNAME_LINE_initials solar_pleb_CHARACTERNAME_line_initials solar_pleb_SHIPNAME_ROOMTONE_initials IF YOU HAVE A BAD MIC YOU CAN STILL BE A SHIP COMPUTER OR SOMETHING BUT THE REAL HUMANS SHOULD BE DONE WITH GOOD MICS.

The art on this thing is really cool, the layout is interesting and complex, and the whole thing looks like it could be a cool level in a space game, but it's horribly broken, tons are missing, and eveything they are talking about is still SOON and DREAMS. Yes. They're hosed. Completely.
