You probably shouldn't do that.

She is just (from what I can tell) a nice person who followed her husband to his dream job

I have NO problems piling on Ben though, he has shown himself to be a vile human being

NASA also had a clear, well defined mission that everyone in the organization understood and was motivated to achieve. CIG has a mass of confused employees and contractors who can't even agree on how things are scaled.

"It looks more primitive then it really is"

*releases Grim Hex bar in 2.6*

Countdown until criminals and muggers get cut, and the only thing that gets released are NPCs that mill about an area, or patrol a set route. I can't wait for "Realistic daily routines, and dynamic spontaneous events coming soon".

I just bought a Musical keyboard off of Ebay for �20.00, it should arrive in a week, didn't cost me my farm and hopefully I can learn something from it.
That's my little story, goodnight.

I hope you got one of these. There are two in every Completionist package.

I forgot to mention 'algorithmic generation of hand crafted content'. aka. how games like Elite already do it. Someone hand codes the archetypal mission like cargo transport, and the algorithm figures out what you are hauling, to which station, and for whom. But this time it's going to be different for Star Citizens because fidelity, and... reasons.

Now you can sip your dispensed Hairy Roberts in peace as you sail through the cosmos soaking in your hot tub, while your sister, only in panties, pilots your ship.

For the next 7 hours.

And then your first trade run is complete and you are ready to manually unload your cargo one box at a time of your 80 ton cargo bay.

Obsidian posted their 'Road to Eternity' video recently. They painted quite a different picture of taking a crowdfunded game from prototype to market.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA8FfDskw4Q&t=937s
"You need to define what is the first prototype for the game we're going to make; and based on the resources you have now, can you make that [prototype] and when can you make it by?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA8FfDskw4Q&t=1020s
"I think sometimes when you have these huge teams, you think to do anything you need a huge team and you don't."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA8FfDskw4Q&t=1228s
"Prototype one is not meant to be pretty. It's supposed to just have the basic core things you can do in the game."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA8FfDskw4Q&t=1594s
"When you do have a tighter budget you have to narrow your scope"

Cutting Features is sometimes necessary to deliver a successful verticle slice. Goes on about something called a "schedule" and tops it with a "budget"

And finally, gently caress Chris you should know this one:
Edit config.sys
DEVICE=EMM386.COM NOEMS
DOS=HIGH
REM MOUSE.COM

got to kill that loving mouse driver to get that extra memory to play these drat Chris Roberts games. You're welcome CIG.

Edit: So I GIS "emm386 cat" and for some reason the Star Citizen logo is one of the hits. For real???

So here is another one of the hits off of that search:

Have they ever directed members of Hollywood A-list?

You can't just buy that, you have to earn that with talent and respect.

They probably don't even own cars, let alone performace ones. Bet they take a bus to work.

Well well you can uh, that's something I referred to before which is uh uhh we're very, we've, we're very much focused and we always have been with regards to the direction we're going with the concept of this, you know, object oriented content creation which is to basically distill y'know uhh all of y'know the different pieces uhh of functionality that we're gonna use to build up these larger missions to break them down into these component parts and then just like do, y'know, in an object-oriented language like C++ to basically allow us to y'know pass inputs in, to y'know extract y'know outputs out um so that we can customize them dynamically in these y'know in--in, th, in the scope of y'know a much larger problem and so what this is going to wind up allowing us to do is after we've got that initial library of y'know functionality, designers are going to be able to craft this stuff much, much more quickly than they've been able to do, y'know, cer-- uh, in, in, in the past, umm, and what this effectively means to the player is uhh a much larger amount of interesting things to see and experience and challenges to face, y'know, and solve within the game world.

The Carmack quote is way, way out of context.

Bringing up John Carmack to defend crobbler makes my blood boil. Through his career, start to now, Carmack has consistently pushed the bar making things that have truly never been done before. His visions that he implemented and he made manifest. Most of which he has done without fanfare or bigging himself up. His legacy is evident in all modern video games and continues to be moving forward.

Croberts was kicked out of the industry because he became outdated and disruptive to good games being made. He emerges a decade later and has only gotten worse.

I hope unique tech comes from this project before it dies. And if and when a solution appears that is novel, I hope people realise it was the coders that created it, completely despite of Roberts 'visions'.

On Most Open Development Ever, where are the papers/articles being published about their never been done before tech? All these totally closed, opaque companies do it in the spirit of altruism and the collective benefit it brings for all.

I might be peeved.

More realistically:
CIG are doing what has never been done before. The rules don't apply.

The fidelity of CIG is much higher. The rules don't apply.

CIG have more money than these chumps. The rules don't apply.

So, in the latest AtV we learn:

That Sandi's discovered a new facial expression;

That someone at cIg doesn't give a gently caress about models not aligning in prerendered promo shots;

That if you spam it, it WILL crash;

And that Chris is easy to impress with coloured rubbish.
