MeLKoR posted:I'm loving dying here. Un-loving-believable! This is about the only thing that could have surprised me at this point, and they dropped it on Christmas eve. I'm completely amazed. I never thought the engine change would ever actually happen. Any defenses of Lumberyard being the same as "Star Engine" are completely contrary to all the claims of years spent customizing the engine with CryTech employees. This is an engine change, if any of their claims about all their customizations and 64 bit changes should be believed. It's mindblowing beyond anything anyone here ever imagined would actually happen. Any talk of engine changes were completely theoretical, but they actually did it.

Croberts was busy re-writing Amazon Cloud's netcode during his lunch-breaks and weekends. Truly a genius of our generation. LOL yes, Chris Roberts is a genius and a superb "Freelancer" as history proves

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a deal with Amazon where they are essentially now the publishers of the game. Watch Shitizens try to adopt that into their narrative.

Yeah this bright spark literally said it's just a change of terminology, and then went straight into this: it's like they don't even notice the speedbump of 4 years of refactoring a dead engine.

TheLightPurges posted:they literally think they just plugged some "lumberjack modules" into starengine. I see quite a few deluding themselves into thinking only AWS infrastructure will be used rather than Google Cloud. You certainly don't need to use a new engine to move your hosting environment to AWS EC2 instances.

http://www.kotaku.co.uk/2016/12/24/star-citizen-has-changed-game-enginesquote:Updated: I've had a response from CIG director of communications, David Swofford, to say that the relationship between CIG and Amazon is that of them being a regular licensee of Amazon's technology. The reason for the announcement today was that it was turned on with the release of 2.6. He also confirmed that all the work CIG had done to expand the CryEngine has been transitioned to the new engine. What? I guess crobbler just turned on technology today.

Bah from RSI forums posted:Hmm... this is weird. The 2.6 PTU already had Lumberyard's logo on the splash screen, but the servers apparently weren't running on AWS (my ping was far too high for that). For regular plebeian game developers you're forced to use AWS on your online services if you use Lumberyard, I wonder if CIG made a specific deal with them. Yes, I'm sure that's the explanation, it couldn't be because the game is poo poo.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Here, maybe this will help you feel better. In addition to endlessly ranting about stupid space sims, I do a lot of fantasy football. I create cheat sheets that people really like, and rather than charge people I just ask them to donate to a charity league. This is the fourth year that the league is going on, and so far we've raised $7978 for various good causes. This year we've raised another $3,239 which looks like it will be divided between a high school robotics team that I mentor and the Dallas Charter of the The National Association of Mental Illness. That's why I am one of your subscribers on your sub. You are good people Beer.

Cao Ni Ma posted:Fate and re:zero are two different things entirely. One started out as a porn visual novel game thing and the other started out as a japanese light novel. Fate is sort of a gigantic IP right now and their gacha game is making them insane bank in japan. Re:zero is just the most recent flavor of the usual j light novel tripe that is popular over there that eventually loses steam and everyone forgets in favor of whatever new tripe light novel is popular. No, no, not Re:Zero. Fate:Zero, the prequel they made. The one they got Gen Urobuchi to write. Re:Zero is what they came up with after Fate:Kaleid Liner or whatever, the magical girl one, right?
