So they switched engines? Oh, come on, CIG. Daikatana managed to do that after only a year of development and it took you guys, what, 4 years to get to this point?

Crobblers the used car salesman Took a lot of suckers' cash And in return he gave them lovely games that always crash Sandi the tickle diva Didn't want to refund dough, "I need it for vacations; Backers, they will never know!" Then one day from Christmas Eve Crobblers told his staff, "Port that poo poo to Lumberyard Must be easy, can't be hard" If the commandos hate it They'll be in a quandary; Crobblers the used car salesman Soon will file for bankruptcy!

If Amazon was clueless enough to buy the Cryengine license for $70,000,000 maybe they actually did decide to invest directly into CIG on some level. It would be hilarious. Please, Santa.

ComfyPants posted:Someone change to read "ELE." XK posted:So, Lumberyard automatically gets a source license, that's good to know. No. CryTek did this confusing bullshit. When they licensed to Amazon, it was 3.x; similar to what CIG originally licensed. Then 4.x and 5.x came along. Amazon has been integrating what they need into LumberYard. That's mostly why it's still in Beta. CIG modified CE 3.x by over 50% (according to Brian Chambers) to come up with StarEngine. Them moving to LY gives them a supported engine, and cloud (via AWS) integration which they have been struggling to shoehorn into SE + Google Compute. It also gives them VR and console access; though neither of those will ever work for SC due to all the design decisions. It also gives them more bullshit to fool backer whales with, and who are now going to think that because LY has VR amd console support, so will SC and SQ42. They went from one unsupported modded CE engine, to another supported modded CE engine. And keeping (e.g their fake 64-Bit precision bullshit) their StarEngine crap is what's probably been giving them problems and will continue to do. They simply can't do a 1:1 port to LY. Like at all. Shitizens are as usual trying to spin it, as if spending 4-5 yrs + $140 million and not producing a game, suddenly switching engines and a new cloud backend is going to make a game. It's not. And it's not going to solve their networking layer problems either, which is why 2.6 is still poo poo. And they're never going to get an MMO out of it. They're going to do what ED did, except without the talent or tech, seeas Frontier built their own engine and integrated AWS backend to work with it. No matter how they spin it; this is bad. And I warned (just weeks ago) about something big coming by year end and which backers need to be prepared for. I just couldn't talk about it because it would put people at risk since only a few people knew about this. I am on vacation with only access to mobile; so I can't find the tweet. But search my feed, it's in there. I am writing a new blog about this when I come back, that's why I am not saying much now because then the blog would be pointless. And that's not the worst of it. No, that's yet to come. Two Weeks. From what two sources have said, I have reason to also believe that switching to LY also allows them to dump the entire thing into the public domain when they collapse, seeing as LY is free anyway. And Chris hinted at this in his newsletter; though people didn't seem to catch that notion. This is the final stage of the E.L.E; though there is still one more major thing coming soon. What just happened is nothing in comparison. D_Smart fucked around with this message at 04:21 on Dec 25, 2016 |

nnnotime posted:Um, that's not the way stock ownership works in this case, Dr. Smart, especially since Amazon doesn't pay a dividend, yet. Maybe you could argue that CIG money could help fund stock buy-backs, but that's an indirect benefit of stock ownership and buybacks don't happen all the time. No you fool. My stock has value. That value goes up. I make money on that value whether or not I choose to liquidate it. Nothing to do with dividends. Are you high?

Wait, amazon bought cryengine for 70m, and they still had to close down pretty much all their offices less than a year later? Say what you want about CIG, they really can stretch those backer dollars!

D_Smart posted:No. CryTek did this confusing bullshit. The issue with CryEngine 3.8.1 is a clusterfuck. Even after some back and forth, I'm still not sure what their version numbers mean. 3.8.1 is 5.0, I think? But 5.0 has DirectX 12? It's all kind of confusing. Regardless of what version anything branched from, all of CIG's claims about years of extensive modifications to CryEngine fall flat when they're now stating that Lumberyard was an easy change. Copy pasting heavily modified engine code is just complete nonsense. I still have the big question: Does Lumberyard support 64 bit positioning? In addition, give me greenie, Derek. It's Christmas, after all.

No, LY does not have 64-Bit precision because the games that the engine is designed for; won't need it. That's why CIG still has to maintain their FrankenEngine even with the LY bits they are going to be using.

I would also like to lodge a protest against picking an engine with the abbreviation “LY” for a space game. There will be no end to the confusion.
