Yes. But the devs I know and have worked with wear casual shirts and jeans that they purchased this century, not ridiculously oversized castoffs from Styx's roadies on the Come Sail Away tour.

I'm letting it go now, though.

Asking if a person is heated bread is obviously a no answer. You should instead ask if one of his many aliases that he goes by in online communities happens to be named "Toast". And to keep it easy, you don't even need to imply any specific community. Baby steps. :)

This sounds like the beginning of a logic puzzle. "Toast never tells the truth. Crumpet lies on alternate Thursday. Scone always tells the truth, but answers in the form of a question."

Finally looked up what the gently caress mega map is:

mega map is the technique to stay in the game and do not load between matches or changing between arc corp, your hangar, arena commander. everything is on one mega map. streaming in and no loading screens needed.

All issues with cig aside. That would never work in a million years

How in earth are they going to load 100s of gigs of map at one time , seamlessly

Currently yes, but that issue will be addressed with the refactored netcode that 3.0 will include.

And while I could not be bothered to read that poo poo, I did notice in the past day alone, he has made over 24 posts only in r/starcitizen. That is it. He talks about nothing else, he posts nowhere else. This guy is one broken hombre. When this thing goes tits up, he is one of the ones I am most looking forward to see doing something....rash.

As soon as you get your monies back and they are safely tucked away in your wallet, I would send that poo poo to those agencies anyway to give them more ammo about what is more than likely a RICO case in the making.

It also make very little sense unless the information provided is bullshit. You can be seamless assuming you release memory to be loaded with new assets as soon as you move away form them on the map, but why load the assets of complete game modes you are not and can not, use at the same time ? Its like Word starting an instance of Explorer, Excell and Powerpoint in the background "just in case".

A light wind swept over the corn, and all nature laughed in the sunshine.
another shill article to add to the pile - Star Citizen FPS Star Marine Now Live

quote:

Ambitious hybrid game Star Citizen sees the introduction of its highly anticipated FPS segment, called Star Marine, featuring two maps and two game modes.

Fans of Star Citizen will be happy to know that developer Cloud Imperium Games today released the first-person shooter section of the game in early access, ready to be tested by the PC-gaming public. The segment, called Star Marine, was once promised to be “more lethal” than Call of Duty and has had fans of the hybrid game excited for months.

First announced in the patch notes for the latest build of Star Citizen on the game’s official subreddit, the Star Marine section comes with two playable maps for now, as well as two game modes. The first, elimination, is an all-out brawl where it’s every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost. The second mode is called last stand and is more tactical, involving four control points that are fought over by two teams of players.

Not that Star Marine is the entire update – players will be able to play a new game mode called Arena Commander while in their space ship, which involves increasingly powerful waves of pirates coming at the player as they struggle to survive. There are also a large number of cosmetic tweaks, such as enhanced control of the third-person camera as well as a laundry list of new ships to choose from.

The breadth of the patch shows off the ambition that drives the developers of Star Citizen. The team is headed up by Chris Roberts of Wing Commander fame and from the start of its development over five years ago has promised to offer gamers everything they could hope for. If players wanted relief from the thrill of space combat they would be able to trade or explore, once their desire for adrenaline kicked in again they could suit up and fight FPS style. No wonder, then, that Star Citizen shattered all records by raking in over $100 million in Kickstarter donations.

Worries about Star Citizen’s feature creep persist, though the game is likely not going to be another No Man’s Sky. It’s just taking a lot longer than expected: the story mode was delayed recently and the developers have been a cagey about the exact release date, especially since it has been moved up so many times already. One backer even got his Kickstarter donation refunded after he complained to the California authorities claiming that “the product remains unfulfilled and no longer constitutes the product(s) I originally purchased.”

This new update is a an exciting step in the right direction for Star Citizen’s backers and should keep them going as the game is finished by its developer.
