Sounds like half of Hollywood to be honest.

Sure, and there's a reason literally only one of the four major studios that has popular comic book character rights in their stable has been capable of producing a halfway decent crop of films from them; only Disney has a proper plan and decent management capable of carrying out that plan.

Seriously, check out Sony's strange ideas and mercurial attitude when it comes to the future of spiderman

That's microtech or something, because of course there is a planet/place called microtech.

Imagine a huge Peter Jackson fan, who somehow manages to get a community management job for the man while he's filming The Hobbit 4: Hobbit Harder. This man spends all of his time tweeting about Bad Taste and writing lore on Meet the Feebles.

In what possible world is this person not fired within weeks if not days?

So pre-concept is the art that is made before they have the ideas, makes sense.

edit: It just looks so sad. I'm sure there's a bunch of talented artists working on this that have been reduced to soulless husks.

It simply means you have to start actual work without having a concept of what you want to do, and how you want to do it. I'm sure it's really productive. And it pushes that nasty "hard thinking"-part way back in the pipeline, like after your next holiday.

Think about those dudes that can pull off those crazy intricate helicopter maneuvers. No, I'm not talking about some Apache doing a mid air flip or roll. Like the guys that work on active power lines. You get RIGHT up close to the power line so Joe Shocky can work on it without dying, and you can't move for fear of everything going to poo poo.

Or those dudes who land in the middle of nowhere in between trees to rescue some guy in a car crash. Mad respect.

My rear end in a top hat would be clenched so tight I wouldn't be able to squeeze a string through there.

Pretty sure back in the day some pilots figured out they could land sea kings on smaller-than-usual-ships in roughish seas by using a 'hauldown winch.'

To be quite fair, you don't need AI or cover for squadron 42 because it's a movie. It's just going to be 40 loving hours of unskippable "cinematic" cutscenes by crobberts. Checkmate goonies.

So does a pre-alpha require a pre-concept or are the two mutually exclusive?

A pre-alpha mostly needs money, and dreams. A pre-concept is optional. Then again, I don't understand concept development.

GRIMHEX IS REDDER IF YOU SPAWN THERE AFTER A RESTART
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1 Go to GrimHex normally, note the colour
2 Become an outlaw
3 Restart, or go to menu & join a new instance
4 Spawn in GrimHex, note it is redder than before

ACTUAL RESULT
GrimHex is redder

EXPECTED RESULT
GrimHex is as red as it was before





Also consider they disabled the tutorial as fixing it didn't seem to be an option, plus after 3+ years do they not have a differential update system for the client, but let me add to that you are unable to reliably rebind keys.

At this point I really believe CIG is exploiting the mentally ill.
