If it were up to me and I actually wanted to deliver a game: fire all but the absolute essential artists down to a team of 2-8 max, and focus on finding or making something that demonstrates an ability to support at least 100 players reliably in a single star system, scrapping StarEngine entirely if necessary. Alternatively, let go of all artists and just use programmer art till game systems work together in a proven manner, and then worry about fidelity.

As far as I can tell; as long as CryEngine/StarEngine is in play, nothing resembling the original promise can be delivered. It seems wholly unsuited for anything beyond a single player fps or 16-32 player multiplayer (1 zone).
Counter argument: list of games that use a version of CryEngine includes at least one MMO.

Speaking out of my rear end as I don't have standing in gamedev specifically; can someone with real-world experience explain how they might go about salvaging this? Assuming that is even possible.

Where's that quote from?

Ugh. What a joke. He did explain the schedule; he just changed his mind when he realized the funding wouldn't stop.

It's not too surprising. Just like croberts is the scummy middle man between nerd money and nerd dreams, their shills have a scummy middle man between them and the cash. It's only natural for star citizens.

We should just put a sticky on the main forum reminding people to call their parents, as they had the compassion and consideration to care for you when you were born and help you through challenges, changes and difficulties throughout your development.

He's got quotas to maintain if he wants that sweet CIG money. And he sure as hell isn't going to research that dumb video game enough to actually write an in depth article about it. And he's definitely not going to do it regularly.

What do you do with the mad that you feel
When you feel so mad you could bite?
When the whole wide world seems oh, so wrong...
And nothing you do seems very right?

What do you do? Do you punch a bag?
Do you pound some clay or some dough?
Do you round up friends for a game of tag?
Or see how fast you go?

It's great to be able to stop
When you've planned a thing that's wrong,
And be able to do something else instead
And think this song:

I can stop when I want to
Can stop when I wish.
I can stop, stop, stop any time.
And what a good feeling to feel like this
And know that the feeling is really mine.
Know that there's something deep inside
That helps us become what we can.
For a girl can be someday a woman
And a boy can be someday a man.


please remember to call your parents you angry goons
I approve. Inrl or whatever their name is come learn a thing or two.

I'm not playing nice. I'm telling them exactly what to expect. Perhaps if they had done the same we wouldn't be in this situation.
