I just need to accept that no matter how incompetent/stupid/malicious I think CIG might be, the truth is even worse. I thought I'd seen the bottom when I was reading a full page ad in the 90s that John Romero was about to make me his bitch, but it looks like Roberts found the bottom of the hole Ion Storm dug and decided the smart thing was to keep going deeper. But hey, even the studios that worked with him are terrible, judging by the star marine people making their own MMO following the same design path as star citizen.

I'm tempted to pick some game engine and teach myself how to make something with it, but I've already been beaten (by someone who might even be competent) to mocking CIG that way. Besides, according to the cultists any planning I do won't work because I don't know anything about game development, and game development is a magical topic where no proven methodologies for software design can be applied.

Actually, sounds a little like the "Everything must be AGILE" borderline cultists I've talked to or had to sit through presentations by.

It's contextual, as all things. The sauna is a social institution with its own set of rules. Outside of that setting, it wouldn't really be considered (as) normal. You have similar social contexts for acceptable nudity in all (or at least most) Nordic countries.

Yeah, when I visited Iceland I was warned repeatedly that you're expected to strip and vigorously wash your entire body before going into the public pools, and moreover Icelanders often have to keep an eye on strangers in pool locker rooms because Americans et al will get embarrassed and try to sneak in without showering nudely, which is incredibly annoying.

You can make the Solar Amphibian FPS in Unity, then attempt to shoehorn it into Plebeian

Yeah, I know there is a blue and a red team. But the point of using bright colors is to make them pop. If everything is of a similar shade or brightness then they don't pop anymore.

Serious question: do you have an actual graphic designer on board? If not just hire one for a while and have him/her provide alternate designs. They can still be "blue as gently caress" but you'll most likely get something better.

Like, look at your doors, their frames have yellow lights because you want their outline to be immediately recognizable. You need more stuff like that.

If it's 4m high, the total width seen is about 10.5m, according to PS' vanishing point filter. That would put it at ~450sqft (plus however far it extends off to the right).
Scale up per your own estimate of the height.

It's gonna be around ~2000 sqft since it is supposed to wrap around the four walls (I think Sandi said so?). A cool 20-30k (basically a coffee machine) for it would be my guess.

This is the normal path of any negative comments about CIG/Star Citizen by a staffer that the Citizens take:

1) Claim it's fake
2) Claim it's Derek Smart's doing
3) Claim it's from someone who doesn't matter
4) Claim it's not really that bad like it appears
5) Claim it's ok because CIG will deliver the project regardless

This has been done like three or four times now without fail.

Falling through floors was a problem right from the very first kickstarter videos.

I think now we're starting to see inside Chris Crobbler's head- the goggles, the sniper rifle, the lack of visibility in whatever ship that was etc.

There's no question that he has built a situation where everyone is carrying through each idea and spec to the letter. Regardless of the technical issues, we are now able to see each idea becoming a real thing in the cold light of day.

Watching this unfold, it's becoming clearer that it's an incoherent cacophony of disharmonious elements with no backbone or structure or gameplay. It is a thing of horror with no saving grace whatsoever.

What page were all the suggestions for Solar Plebeian enviromental hazards on?

That's the first weapon that will be implemented.
