That is definitely something you look for 4 years into building the biggest drat space scam ever. Also Star Marine was supposed to be in the game, etc etc

Why do they need to specify "3D titles"? Is it the late 90s?

My client has fast become a developer everyone’s talking about. They have highly ambitious plans to make the most immersive Sci-Fi game experience ever known. Due to their incredible success so far they are now looking for a Team level and Senior Systems Designer to help lead the effort in creating gameplay systems, game modes, and scripted events for their upcoming game.

MedicineHut posted:Do we know if the PID controller algorithms are actually working in the game? I mean judging by the borked physics and balsa wood you can see in AC and the PU (and looking back to all the issues to date with flight physics, cutlass issues etc) I suspect the fideliteh in this area has been completely dropped or cheated to death too. BFCSSE, Best loving Cheat Space Sim Ever. I'm not focusing on whether or not the PID systems are in and working. I'm saying it's a stupid idea to even think of using that system. In the real world you have PID controllers to compensate for real world problems. i.e. Physical things can't be perfectly modeled, so you get as close as you can and make corrections as you go. In a game, you don't need a PID because you have control over the game. Example: I created a PID to keep a wheel spinning at a user-settable speed regardless of load. Ideally, you would say x power @ y load = z speed, but that only works on paper. In the real world, you have to monitor the speed, and make changes on the fly to how much power you're outputting, otherwise your speed will be off. A PID controller is a constant guess and check. In a game, you just tell the drat thing to spin however fast you want. :cig: logic: I want to turn left... calculate turn needs simulate power distribution simulate turning simulate previous calculations being off (this will always happen in real world, never in simulation) simulate minor adjustments to calculations repeat In short, not only was this a big engineering debt, it served literally no purpose, and no one would feel the effects, ever. Like one of those boxes with an on switch that just turns itself off.

Toops posted:I have a theory about this. I believe they have scaled everything in the PU waaaaay down from the core game engine unit. It's a shoe that fits both the horrible inaccurate and buggy collision detection, pervasive clipping issues, and the general balsa-wood physics issues. OH MY GOD I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT I mean, sorry I'm posting from 18 pages back or if it was posted already, but I think I have the answer Ok, I'm not a developer and know nothing about it (you win reddit) but what I think is going on is that they wanted a gigantic universe or whatever with as least (or completely non existent) loading as possible Now, if you have a limited amount of real state in which you can develop these world spaces (for some X Y or Z reason) you have to stretch the milage of the world space you have So what did they do? They made everything tiny so that it is larger in relation, which would fit with Toops explanation of why physics are so hosed up THE UNIVERSE WAS NEVER LARGE EVERYTHING WAS JUST REALLY TINY INSTEAD

Still, I personally dislike how blatant they are with DLC, especially considering how leaving the French out of a WW1 game is loving stupid. It'd be like leaving out the US out of a WW2 game(which has been done, but rarely) and then charging 30$ for a DLC later on. Edited in some words.

Remember when at the Square Enix thing Hirohito Yamamoto came out and announced the new Final Fantasy game and YOU CAN PLAY THE DEMO TONIGHT! Remember how at E3 the Resident Evil guy came out after you figured out at the end what you had just seen was Resident Evil and YOU CAN PLAY THE DEMO RIGHT NOW! Remember when Chris Roberts stood in an aircraft hanger under a stupid airplane and YOU CAN LOOK AT A MAP! Just lol
