Christ alive, I gave this idiot my money I don't know anything about the other team members, but I used to hang out in the same IRC channel as Supernorn and Molly, who were quite pleasant people, and apparently Rho is also cool. I suppose I can take solace in some of the money (hopefully) having gone to you guys.

if you read this thread backwards it's about a game that's slowly showing more and more promise and ends up looking almost feature-complete

Tiy really is a huge piece of poo poo and I regret giving him my money. After all this has come to light, I'm super pleased with myself for showing restraint in only picking the lowest, basic-entry scam price instead of donating more to get some of the promised "rewards". Boy I would've been even more pissed than I am about this dumpster fire.

I think we must have hung out in the same channel, I remember talking to Norn and Molly. Both of them were pretty cool, and I hope they've armed their ejector seats now 1.0 is about to hit. 4chan hated Molly; she was every nerd girl who hadn't hosed them and she got to hang out on stage with Real Developers. The sheer fact she stayed in her job speaks well for her resilience; hopefully Stardew Valley will patch any damage that did to her resume.

Not that I disagree that she's pretty cool (I was pretty good friends with her a long time before Starbound was a bad idea in Tiy's head), you can't really just up and quit your job when you've moved half way across the globe for work and you're in the country on a visa. I know that she at least used to keep a good frame of mind on her in regards to the abuse and poo poo too, never looked into it, never wanted to know what it was. I mean, maybe it's changed nowadays, we don't really talk or whatever anymore and she's a totally different person and she doesn't take it so well anymore, I don't know or care.

Starbound 1.0 details announced. It's "getting close" but no exact date specified. http://playstarbound.com/final-approach-to-1-0/ Sounds like maybe combat has been unfucked? And the beginning of the game seems to be completely different.

quote:To unlock missions you’ll be given quests which utilize many different aspects of the Starbound sandbox to send you searching for clues  oh my god there's going to be even MORE searching the universe for a planet that has some random, tiny object that some jerkass wantsquote:Alongside the story progression and clue quests there are a number of new side quests, including a battle arena, a museum that needs to be populated with artifacts, and test chambers to unlock tech upgrades. We’ve also expanded the quest system with a quest tracker, compass and multi-part quests which update as you undertake them. I guess that's ok, except for the loving test chamber poo poo, that already can go gently caress itself quote:Hunger has been reworked and has returned in an optional survival mode. The UI has been revamped and food now rots over time (with refrigerators keeping food fresh). Eating food now also has a healing effect outside of survival mode. So..Food is going to rot either way? I TAKE TWO STEPS FORWARD (I TAKE THREE STEPS BACK) quote:Similar to pet collars, armor augments can now be applied to certain back armors to give the player special properties. These range from increased damage and speed to fun special effects. So you're doing something to avoid giving race armor unique effects..whatever, anyone that's still playing has to take what they can get, I guess I guess if I had one question, it is: Where are the loving tentacle biomes

People were willing to work for free so why wouldn't you exploit that? It's good business sense you see. As said before I still hope Starbound becomes a good game one day, be it by their hand or by modders. That said I had a lot of unresolved bitterness when I left and this thread's really helped a ton with that because I had no real outlet or closure, so thanks to everyone who listened and offered sympathy, it really means a lot. The more I think about it now it was actually a blessing in disguise. Right up until the end I wanted to care, but I'm learning that even if I did all the perfect things and stayed I'd have 1) still been hosed with my contract when it expired and 2) still be associated with a game that has an incredibly bad reputation. The more I read around the more I'm finding that Bart and I stand out among people as the ones who got out and are thus spared from association with it. It's given me time to focus on other things I want to do and hopefully even if they don't work out I hope I can return to making games one day.

Wow, I just finished reading this and my main take away is basically gently caress early access for enabling poo poo like this, we would be better off without it and and the widely apparent "feeling free to get effectively nothing done!" attitude that it enables. Also we'd be better off without exploitative pieces of garbage like Tiy, but anyone willingly working for him for free at any point (seriously what the gently caress?) was enabling him to be the biggest shitheap he could possibly get away with being. This is of course not excusing his behavior, which is completely unacceptable.

So tiy is basically an MRA fedora wearing turbocapitalist. Does he also molest animals or something because I'm finding it hard to figure out how much more of a caricature he can become.
