" You keep your agenda and we will keep speaking the TRUTH, ie.. the TRUTH about YOU the TRUTH about YOUR SCAM the TRUTH about YOUR WIFE the TRUTH about YOUR FAILED LIFE the TRUTH about YOU DEREK SMART FAILURE!"

This in no way comes from CIG or anyone working there. This is the very same writing style as the shitgarglers over on R/DS. I call severe bullshit on thier ability to trace the IP because with just a mild guess, Derek uses a VPN as he was just posting about using one a few days ago when Trump signed off on NN.

"THATS what we do. Every live from you we back up with the TRUTH. REMEMBER THIS"

If this WERE CIG then what are the real chances they would have to be all shouty-like with the allcaps? The "WE" here is r/DS as they are still under the belief that The Agent is a group account from the stunt we pulled on Discord and Hater trolled them with. They still haven't gotten it for the most part. The whole "we back up with the TRUTH" is their "archive".

I am just sitting here counting the days until their dream is taken from them. Like waiting for the warm days of summer to arrive to bring that slight smile to my face as Derek wipes his rear end with each and every one of them. You have to admit though, Derek has worked hard for a very, very long time and suffered much ridicule for him not to have his day in the sun.

I have a theory that when the devs get ready to leave the office they have to check video surveillance in the parking lot to make sure none of the faithful are out there ready to ambush them.

What we are rolling out now is a complete rewrite of core and branched systems. It has nothing to do with Lumberyard integration. Early 2016 the decision was made to scrap almost our entire codebase and start anew. Whilst this means years of potential new coding, our animation and art teams have continued to refine and refactor. What they produce now is purely and simply momentous. No other studio has the capacity for such amazing work. There has been thousands of custom animations and facial expressions that rival the top Hollywood computer graphics companies.

Then what is heading back to redesign? I used refactor the correct way, before I get poo poo for that. Everything you see currently is gone. 2.6 no longer exists. The beta we are getting out this year, and I mean this year, is a total rebuild -- not refactor, har -- of code. Flight models, first person feel, networking, persistence, items; all of what's in 2.6 is completely gone.

The foundations and creative tools for new content are in place are nearly complete. They are decades ahead of what other companies have, even AAA studios. Chris bet big on big ideas and now our entire team is starting to see that investment pay off.

I'm not afraid to say 2020 or later is release. I'm unafraid because our backers are unafraid; every single one of them continue to walk-the-walk and not just talk-the-talk. Chris made the right call to wipe out what was previously in place. Things were too fractured; now everything is under one house, one rule, one idea. No more outsourcing. No more wondering what company added or subtracted.

Beta is a turning point for the entire project. I won't comment on Amazon. The air here is different. The feel of the company is different. Progress, rapid progress, is being made now, more than ever before. Designers are putting in systems and testing them within the same week. If I can sum up in one word what we all feel: joy. To not only be a part of this project but to truly go where no one has gone before.

You don't post positives, not from what I've seen. Maybe this will be different.

There's no investigation. Tony Z and all the executives you continue to claim are gone are still here. I talk to them daily. I get there's some laughs to be had but this account used to be at least somewhat accurate. Did all the crying little boys stop writing in because they couldn't handle the stress of real development? Look how wrong you idiots have been lately. How anyone buys your garbage at this point I don't know.

Beta is where a lot of the systems we have will start coming online - albeit in their first, smaller iterations. It's this year 100%. Cargo, mining, bounty hunting is in right now. Playable and testable with our internal QA. Not only that but we have several ships done and ready for release far ahead of schedule. Some of the systems - like CIC - are still in their infancy but are being worked on. Every piece of gameplay has to fit into a near infinite puzzle.

Next month Chris will be a lot more open with the schedule. The realistic schedule. It's still a long road ahead - no doubt about it. The backers will see important progress this year, with both Squadron 42 and the Star Citizen Beta. They know that even if it takes years we will do it right.

TheAgent posted:

Yeah this confirms what I thought, which is pretty funny. Some backers found your anonymous submission email for leaks.

People are writing you pretending to be developers but are obviously backers.

That first one has lines like
"What they produce now is purely and simply momentous. No other studio has the capacity for such amazing work. There has been thousands of custom animations and facial expressions that rival the top Hollywood computer graphics companies."
" I'm not afraid to say 2020 or later is release. I'm unafraid because our backers are unafraid; every single one of them continue to walk-the-walk and not just talk-the-talk."
" They are decades ahead of what other companies have, even AAA studios. "
"If I can sum up in one word what we all feel: joy. To not only be a part of this project but to truly go where no one has gone before."
"You don't post positives, not from what I've seen. Maybe this will be different."

The second one has lines like
"The backers will see important progress this year, with both Squadron 42 and the Star Citizen Beta. They know that even if it takes years we will do it right."
"Nothing Derek is saying is true. I know this account is made up of multiple people trolling Derek and Reddit at the same time but come on guys. Really. You spooned him too much crack this time."
"Look how wrong you idiots have been lately. How anyone buys your garbage at this point I don't know."
"Did all the crying little boys stop writing in because they couldn't handle the stress of real development?"

This is just buttsalt bitter people like Cymelion and Lethality. The third guy is some r/dereksmart poster probably.

Whoever is writing these you are probably lurking the thread to see if your messages are getting posted. You need to get better at composition, your writing is serving your opinion and putting a huge flashing neon sign on your motives and projections, instead of telling it's own narrative. If you guys really want I can come up with a plausible sounding set of "leaks" that paint a rosy picture of the biggest scam in gaming history to give you an idea of what you should be doing if you really want to try and make up some bullshit positive leaks to get them exposure.

Some helpful tips at least for faking this poo poo better
1- Throw in some more technical vocabulary. Not too much, but enough that a layman would be impressed. I'm sure you can find the relevant technical vocabulary and nomenclature to use to add a little credibility

2- Stop giving the backers sloppy blowjobs, most developers at CIG giving an honest appraisal of the development situation are not going to do that if they are honestly informing people of behind the scenes. It's obvious you can't even get through a fake paragraph without congratulating yourselves.

3- Remove the passive aggressive references to reading this thread or TheAgent's other leaks. Nobody knows how many actual devs even read the thread. Adding to that a mixture of salt toward Derek is baffling if you are trying to pretend to be some CIG dev giving the "real and positive truth" you are projecting hard on this one.

4- Stick to more concrete and grounded claims. Being in the realm of pure imagination like "Decades ahead of other AAA studios" seems like something no actual person involved in game development would say, and instead comes from someone who is dreaming the dream.

The funny thing about language that you can tell from people that are not very bright is that they borrow words and phrases from those that they spend a lot of time with and integrate it into their own dialect. Sometimes they even expand on it to make it more of a homogenized nomenclature. Recently over on r/DS the "crack" term has been sprouting up in the past day or so and was a dead giveaway in the letter to The Agent.
