MinorInconvenience posted:It is a problem. Fortunately, CIG is trying to hire someone just like that: https://cloudimperiumgames.com/jobs/224-Senior-Game-AI-Programmer. Maybe, just maybe, once they actually hire someone to do the job, they will get that AI working. Any day now. I still don't believe that number, considering they were subcontracting poo poo out. That has to be a third support staff. Colostomy Bag posted:This is a good question. To be honest, at the US fed level this is really small potatoes. Sure, 150 million is a lot of money. But look what it really takes to cause hot fed action and combine the fact the citizens are spread all over the globe. Company is currently viable and well on the way to supporting it's goal of releasing a game, right up until the point where it isn't, then it becomes a possible scheme to defraud people. There's also the point that you won't be privy to the legal communications until it becomes a matter of public record.

It's okay, one of these days you'll make a real game. In the interim I highly suggest making the next patch revamp the ground game so it's actually a FPS called "Blorg Marine".

I thought you'd actually started to read the forums instead of obsessing over one specific thread. Maybe next time eh?

One of my favorite things about Paradox games is how after each major patch I can come by and experience a game that's awesome and yet slightly different enough to justify replaying and paying for the DLC. It's very insidious. I love it.

Yea, I gotta admit I've also been pretty much 'saving up my essence' as they say when it comes to playing Stellaris. My last megagame, which taught me a lot, finished like...2 or 3 months ago. And I'm already fretting of getting back in that addicted tempo of 1 year ago, when the game came out.  Still...I can become robits now! Not even Star Citizen hyped up that, I think.

Sorry, but paying for DLC is always wrong and you're a moron that is helping big publishers destroy gaming with their greed. (Pays 80 bucks for 2 packs of torpedoes)

Samizdata posted:I neglect to see the problem with CIG spending virtual cash on virtual goods for a virtual game. It's a self-sustaining economy. You take money from ship sales, buy ships from yourself, park your newly purchased ships in an imaginary parking lot, use the newly acquired cash from said ship sale to purchase more ships, and so on and so forth until the game is complete! It's like printing money! Every 15k spike is CIG injecting 15k back into the project! I think. I'm trying to figure out how Dave and Buster's do it. So every 15k spike is another complete set of ships dumped into the ship economy and the only people that would suffer would be the people who have who have investment ships that they will be hoping to sell in an over-saturated marketplace.

Same as with going to a bank with FDIC insured deposits, as opposed to one without it. What are you smoking?

Dude, for securities, not for a private game company. CIG is not the type of issuer you think they are. They're not doing partnership interests nor do they have an interest in equity security - it's too costly for a small company. Please stop trying so hard to be right or relevant.

Fatkraken posted:Like, how does this even happen? On a coding level I mean. So in a game live red dead, when you or an NPC/Mob ends up all deformed and weird it's because the game applied an animation intended for one skeleton the wrong model and had to twist everything around to make it all work, and you end up with birdmen and deersnakes and it's weird but at least you can see how it happened. but the PU doesn't HAVE any animals or weird shaped character models or mobs, so obviously something else is going on. I'm pretty confident ships and players use the same skeleton. Character customization was being built with the ship's item 2.0 code until they realized that won't work about a month ago.

It doesn't matter if the underlying code base is completely broken and founded on unsound principles. You just keep layering in more code and eventually it all starts working. Sandworms 2.0 for 3.0, networking 3.0 for 4.0, subsumption AI will finish coding the game from there.
