Just a reminder that CIG removed the tutorial from their game, because it was broken

Hellion doesn't have a tutorial, and is already working towards putting on in

Instead of polishing the helmet on their space man

Hey a new Citizen, what's your Star Citizen story?

My story is Star Citizen sounded cool back in 2013 as I failed several times to enjoy EvE. Never pledged because the Kickstarter pitch sounded vague to me but thankfully CIG continues to deliver wonderful self-ownage free of charge.

If I had pledged that artist dudes resignation letter would have been my refund point. Doorgate was also pretty bad, dunno which was first.

It's hard to rate all their disasters.

For me, I think chairgate succinctly wraps up the level of development ineptitude and disdain for their backers.

Like that is a major accomplishment.
It's hard to tell since they chose a black guy wearing a black jacket.

If this is the case, has nobody told them they're not supposed to make the character naked model continue to render when it's covered by clothes?

MeLKoR posted:

I think they are showing damaged states to clothing and how repairing works looks. Can you become a space seamstress in Hellion? I didn't think so! :smuggo:

If this is the case... and it probably is! I guess yay?

I hope they continue to dedicate resources to this sort of thing because they will never build a game that actually can use these things when this is their show reel, and the game itself is broken.

Trading? Good flight mechanics? One of the other 6,000,000 promises? Nah. Clothing damage states!


Of course I will say this though: this continues to go with my July blog where I said that they will be more heavily focusing on the FPS portion of the game because it's actually doable to a good degree. They will shoehorn in as much as they can in this section, because there are thousands of tutorials out there they can Archer from.

The space side will be the afterthought.

You don't have to wait for Hellion. See : Elite.

Elite has the space side nailed down.

Hellion is going to hit space, those physics grids, and tons of "everything is interactive and does a thing" itch that was SCs big gimmick. It'll also do space flight too I bet, and FPS. I'll probably buy it! :)

I think that everything SC wants to be is what Hellion is a few days away from actually premiering.

There are no space toilets or Hollywood quality mopping mocap in Hellion though. Why even bother to play it?

Can't argue with that logic, friend. :shobon:

I guess the only hope now is that Item 2.0 brings all that awesome new functionality we're all waiting for. That'll pretty much be the final nail in the Hellion coffin right there.

Star Citizens tend to have issues over other space games making progress. Or just plain old progress.

This word "progress" is not something they are familiar with.

I don't think so. Reddit posts calling it a lie to sell more ships are getting dozens of upvotes, while the true cultists are being shouted down.

I think /r/starcitizen is getting more and more hostile to Roberts and skeptical of the game ever getting completed. Pretty soon we'll start seeing posts like "can we have a subreddit for people that actually LIKE the game and are optimistic?" And maybe it even gets made. I think that's the tipping point for backer opinion and fundingl truly bottoming out.

Can't lie. I smirked like a mad fool watching that Blue Drake stream when he went from gravity to non-gravity. Also, when he had to evacuate the airlock chamber to avoid being forcefully ejected when it opened. That stream was like a direct GO FRELL YOURSELF to CIG.

Well, of course, you HAVE to have clothing damage states before you get the female models ready. Because, seriously, as a backer (not really), how is a woman supposed to make money in the 'Verse?

at this point MoMA has to be Chris Roberts since he would be the only person stupid enough to actually think, from the inside, that the dream was real.

It would also explain how MoMA vehemently denied working for CIG or any of it's companies, since all of them work for Chris Roberts.
