I like citizen butts and I can not lie
You other commanders can't deny
That when a Vanduul walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round parp in your face

XK: Jul 9, 2001; Star Citizen is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it's fidelity when you look out your window or when you watch youtube

So, the breathing animation somehow ended up mapped to the butt?

You are wrong. The only person I have ever heard say build the frontend first also included the disclaimer that it should be rudimentary and just give a basic idea of the end product.
This is somewhat facilitated by the division of frontend and backend in web development. What you should not ever do is spend 3+ years pixel perfecting ship assets of all shapes and sizes. It still blows my mind that in alpha there is anything other than flying rectangles or greyboxes. Can you even change ship weapon loadouts in Star Citizen? Or would that require a whole new model because they don't have any kind of modularity beyond skins?

Obviously jpeg waving has done miraculous things for CIGs bottom line; but that could probably have been accomplished just as easily with a small team of concept artists. Maya/3DsMax is Chris' comfort zone and when CryEngine didn't facilitate the features Star Citizen required, it was easier to work on 3D models than building features.

I think maybe Toast is saying more, you design around the client use cases first. Which I guess make sense. What sense is planning for something that doesn't increase functionality from an end user perspective?

You mean the kid throwing himself down on the ground right?

To really succeed in soccer he needs to learn how to cry and look around to make sure half of his team isn't also throwing themselves to the ground to cry like huge pussies and game the clock.

He should probably also learn which injuries take the most time to deal with so he can run the clock out waiting for a stretcher, but yeah I'll agree this kid has dramatic fake injury potential that would allow him to really succeed in the ~~pussy olympics~~ world cup

I don't think you can play rugby for any length of time and keep your nose intact.
e: Our coach would also sprinkle some martial arts training with regular rugby. A judo coach some day, greco-roman wrestling the next month. Because it obviously wasn't bloody enough for his taste.

I'm am just amazed at backers ability to fixate on just the version number only and just ignore/rewrite any features that don't make it.

It's kinda brilliant is a huckster way how cig can just change the version numbers and the backer brain interprets that into 'progress'.
Does the huge download for every version keep people away from testing/checking so they just follow what is given in the slickly produced videos?
Do they have so much invested in this trainwreck that they'll see progress where none exists because the version number changed?
All of the above?

No matter what its amazing to look and laugh at from the sidelines!

Imagine the fear of being wrong about spending a four to five figure sum on a game trapped in dev hell, being "made" by a failed used car salesman.

As someone who lives within spitting distance of the birthplace of Rugby League, where the sport is ~~practically~~ a religion, Gridiron is actually pretty loving cool too and Rugby snobs shouldn't be so down on it.

Especially not southern Rugby snobs. :colbert:

fakeedit: the practically caveat is slightly underselling it
