Has Lowtax blocked Derek on Twitter yet? Any funny interactions between them, or is it all hush-hush due to the pending lawsuit against SA?

So how much has the current sale netted so far? Enough to buy CIG another 2-3 months to poo poo something out?
I don't think Lowtax has responded to him unless it was this morning. Derek made his own forum though so I think he's just given up.

I tried to make some progress in Alien Isolation last night but nope, still stuck in a medical bay vent making GBS threads myself with fear


Heh yeah, I suck at that game too. Nonetheless, I'm really looking forward to the rumored AI 2, which will likely be properly optimized for VR.



quote:

Speaking to MCV, Jurgen said that “VR has caught the whole company’s attention,” going on to state, “We have a lot of VR kits in the office and people are playing with it. We are exploring ways to release games. We’ve not announced anything, but we are very close to making an announcement.” Heartening indeed, but Jorgen then went on to allude to titles which might be first on the VR release roster and, predictably, Alien: Isolation was mentioned. “We did Alien: Isolation about three years ago on Oculus Rift, it was a demo that was bloody scary,” said Post. “To bring that back to VR would be a dream and dreams can come true… VR will take time, but we will start releasing some titles just to learn. It is a platform for the future.”

It's basically a microcosm of the whole project. It's not that the individual ideas are impossible, it's that the ideas conflict with each other and make it impossible.

If you want a video game with realistic thrusters and physics, you can do that.
If you want a video game with crazy spaceship designs and 'ww2 in space' dogfighting, you can do that.
If you want a video game with crazy spaceship designs and 'ww2 in space' dogfighting with realistic thrusters and physics... No! It doesn't work.

Here's another one...

If you want a game with a whole galaxy of star systems and planets which you can land on, you can do that.
If you want a game where everything is in ultra 'high-fidelity' and every last detail on every object is modelled in excruciating detail, you can do that.
If you want a game with a whole galaxy of star systems and planets which you can land on where everything is in ultra 'high-fidelity' and every last detail on every object is modelled in excruciating detail... No! It's not gonna work.

It's actually frustrating to watch, like seeing someone try and cram a square peg into a round hole.

Thing is... the real thruster thing could be fun or interesting, if you chose to focus gameplay around it, and limit scope in other areas to acccount for it.

I think it might make some interesting gameplay if you got a hull and had to place the thrusters on it yourself in various configurations and sizes. Tweaking the flight characteristics and power output could be really fun in a Kerbal way. But the hypothetical game would need to focus around it a bit, and you couldn't sperg out on a million different ships that constantly refactor, or you wouldn't have the engineer-hours available to make hulls that would fly correctly.

e: Plus you could offload the flight tweaking to the player, saving you dev time. Gimme a call Chris... I am an ideas guy too, and I can sell you a bunch of 'em.

God, that endeavor sale was a year ago. How many years do you think they can go with literally no updates on a ship that they sold for hundreds of dollars, before people start to think maybe they were scammed?

I'd say the Banu Merchantman is the current front runner, on sale two years ago and absolutely zero information since then. The caterpillar was sold at the kickstarter but they've at least pretended they're working on it since then.

Caterpillar has at least been seen in videos and poo poo. Banu Merchantman owners still don't have a reliable answer as to which end of the concept art is the front of the ship, AFAIK
