FUD-free development timeline right here, corrected to reflect the refactored "start dates" as demanded by things such as new studios opening and whatnot

Does this represent the Lumberyard switch? Because you know in another month development will have only started when they "got serious" with a real engine, which was 1/1/17 thanks to Chris being on vacation for Christmas.

Speaking of vacations, anybody know if The Roberts has rewarded himself with a vacation yet this year? It's been a tough 11 days and it's about time for an Italy or Hawaii trip.

please no, i'm just about breaking my head when CIG 'switches' from CryEngine to Lumberyard, but turns out it's not actually a switch? And in fact there's no effort at all, since it's more of a 'rebranding' than a 'recoding'? Some graphs made in Paint?

Lumberyard includes previous versions of CryEngine in its license. So what CIG has apparently done is go back in time to when Lumberyard branched off of CryEngine and StarEngine branched off of CryEngine and called it a day. Basically they may have imported a new readme.txt file or something.

For all it means is that Star Citizen can be Windows 10 or Duke Nukem 3D because if you go back far enough everything is pretty much the same at some point. So enjoy! :allears:

So who's the final boss in Star Citizen

A long cutscene where Pusher kills the big evil ship, and the player character says "I wish I could be like Pusher!" And then your radio squaks "We all wish we could be as good as Pusher, <player.firstName>. ERROR SPEECH_victory_42.wav NOT FOUND."

And then the screen dissolves and you watch Pusher reunited with Gary Oldman, who has no voice because he quit long before the script changes, but his 3D likeness is forever bitched out to CIG. She says "I saved you father!" And Gary's lips parp.

The scene ends with the player character emptying out his (female avatar never created, sorry) wallet at the feet of digital Pusher and Gary before licking her boots clean, with a scrap of paper stuck to the bottom that is Derek Tsamr or whoever.

Will there be Sex Robots in Star Citizen? Asking for a friend.

With 85% of the game design done for people who are expecting second life in space, and Chris Roberts saying the players can get naked, of course it will. There will be a Fisto character but it will be serious and have no charm.

The 2018 mocap team is already being hand picked by Ortwins porn company. Questions changed from "Do you like being tickled?" To "Do you mind if we masturbate over your digital likeness while a cock screwed to a mop handle recklessly abuses you?"

Needless to say, everybody is looking forward to the 2018 4.0 reveal later this year! :monocle:

because until the game is finished it's as good as your imagination thinks it will be, with a direct correlation to how bad you want it to be as good as you tell yourself it will be. Chris Roberts' nonstop lies and promises are just the foundation to build on.

Surprise, a lot of broken brained depressives are desperate for a world that doesn't suck and have staked their entire identities on this video game because surely this will be it.

They can't wait a few decades for advances in computing and brain interface technologies that might make any of this poo poo actually possible and instead pay for someone to lie and tell them it is, right now.

Ok, I've just been sent a tip from sources on the inside* - the hold up with shipping SQ42 is that there is enteral debate over the very first scene.

It's a text crawl but due to copyright they know think they would not get away with bottom to top so are going to go from side to side.

Chris wants left to right, yet everyone else wants right to left being that is the way people in the west read.

Chris is digging his toes in over this and saying how when others say it can't be done, he makes it be done!

Others are not saying it can't be done, they are saying it does not work in fashion that is readable.

Sandi is both backing Chris on this and preparing to using it against him in divorce papers.

Ben is backing Chris too but even Chris knows he cant see anymore.

Ryan Archer is still holding out on a bottom to top crawl.

They have to get this sorted because Chris has booked more motion capture time in the studio in two weeks to capture the performance of the text scrolling and they don't want to have to rebook again (but will anyway).
