SirPenguin posted:The Rings of Olistar will be the name of the tell-all book from this disaster of a game. how many god damned bugs have been related to those things? They have already more or less explained it. The ships, stations, etc are made with different components that are attached to each other and inherit some of the properties of the things that they attach to. In this way the wings that are attached to your ship fly alongside it. Because the engine is so loving janky sometimes stuff like the rings gets attached to poo poo they shouldn't and inherit some other movement vector. The funniest thing is that their netcode is so bad that, apparently, it transmits the data for each component attached to a ship as it moves. So instead of "ship A is moving like this" they transmit "ship core A moves like this, gun A1 moves like this, left wing A moves like this, etc).

They haven't even started development on Star Citizen the MMO. What they do have may be good for something like Sq42 with the promised drop-in-drop-out coop style gameplay with small numbers of players interacting for a mission.

For instance, they decided to call it network 2.0. But they need to get Items 2.0 to work before that. The project is such a loving mess.

Virtual Captain posted:Trick question Chris wasn't after gameplay. (see fidelity) This is pretty much why the entire project was doomed from the jump. Chris is one of those guys who's sitting in the spot on the autism spectrum where he believes "Hollywood" is a good and cool thing, and that all movies that are good movies come from there, and all things in real life that are cool happen just like in Cool Hollywood Movies. In his mind, the most fun anyone can have is feeling like they're in a Hollywood movie, but not acting - literally living the character's life. But not the boring scenes you don't see on screen - just the cool stuff. Except a few things: - His game only has the boring stuff, and none of the cool - Nobody plays a game to pretend they're in a loving movie - Nobody who's sitting down to play a game gives a poo poo about movies - Literally nobody gives a poo poo about Hollywood, even movie fans His mind is forever stuck at how kids feel at 12 years of age when they watch their first grown-up action flick and those first hints of testosterone take their positions to get ready for the surge. Which would work out fine here if 12-year olds had $25,000 of disposable income. Even if they did, it would still fail because today's 12-year olds are savvy enough to know this is a scam. It's the defective man-children - The Children of Roberts - who are funding his pretend game developer career, and goddamn if he doesn't know what they want. It takes a sea of idiots to believe the vision of a "man" like Chris Roberts.

It's almost as if they built a bunch of parts to make it dynamic, then didn't know how to make it work, so they tried to make it work the way every other developer makes it work, except they changed so much it won't work that way any more either. But it's all fine, because 3.0.

Don't know about you guys but I just parked my truck by jumping over another car and skidding backwards into the spot. I dove out through the door I kicked open as it was sliding backwards and rolled before jumping up to smile at a camera with a coy one liner. After adjusting my huge balls I walked into the gas station but I have a feeling even as I post this it's going to explode. Literally because I live a life of Hollywood action on a normal and regular basis and this is just my everyday commute.

If you have a funded kickstarter you are banned from ever making a new one until you deliver on the old one. So their biggest success story is the biggest wet fart. Kickstarter was half a decade ago holy poo poo.

"That about sums it up" said Scruffpuff, donning sunglasses while walking away from an explosion in slow motion. "Seems Roberts thinks the coolest thing a game can be," he continued, as turned to his left and peered over the top of his sunglasses at a 20-something young blonde in a short skirt, walking past a sprinkler while popping the top off a Coke and smiling into the camera, and gently caress it, everything is in slow motion here too, "is to be like a movie."

Wait no, that can't be a thing. There is at least one project I know of that the creators ran a second KS campaign (after the first was successfully funded) to get more funds, for the same project. (Yeah sadly that's definitely a bad sign, even though I'd really like that other project to eventually end up being.... at least ok at this point).

Scruffpuff posted:This is pretty much why the entire project was doomed from the jump. I think there are a lot of 'Cool in the movies but super boring in game' elements that Chris fixates on. For example every time they talk about ship maintenance Chris will evoke some kind of Chewbacca and Han situation where they make a miracle repair while the ship is under fire. That would be incredibly difficult and probably pointless to have in game, seeing as most ships are destroyed in under a minute. Maybe an argument can be made for larger ships, but sadly non of that gameplay has been explored or tested because of CIGs awful feet dragging. http://www.kotaku.co.uk/2016/09/26/the-24-year-feud-that-has-dogged-star-citizen quote:The Star Citizen story did not begin in 2012, but in 1977. One night in Manchester, an eight-year-old boy walked into a cinema with his dad. A couple of hours later, it was a different boy who stumbled out into the street, awestruck by what he had just witnessed.

Five years into development and now the third version of the USE button, he describes it as "Just the beginning". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADB-wpvTD0k?t=34m27s This is after mentioning grabby hands is depreciated, and that the Hanger Item Port system is obsolete, and that they have to retroactively go back and fix every interaction that exist each time there's an update.  Game's totally coming out this year guys, just figured out how we want players to interact with items for the third time in five years.

The ironic thing about the Bugsmashers shitshow is they really have no idea what they are really fixing. Every bug they fixed probably introduces ten new ones since they never found the root cause of the original one. There was probably a reason why such and such was in the code, and the reason it was in there was to handle some odd exception use case because that was the easiest thing to do to make money. It's a game engine. It is full of hacks. Undoing hacks will create a greater hack. Ergo, Roberts.

In this way the wings that are attached to your ship fly alongside it. It's worse than that actually. They are clearly not sending positional data for everything. So if the ship model is all they are sending data for, the server doesn't give a poo poo about crap that broke and flies off because it's not going to update it. The result is that whatever happens to clientA, remains with clientB, and both clientA + clientB are only sent updates for whatever the server is programmed to. This is why most multiplayer games don't feature destructible worlds/levels etc. When server updates (e.g. destroys) an object, and sends the message to all clients, the destruction is client-side; so all clients see a different thing which is not updated by the server. If the server only knows how to update an object, and not parented entities, well, that's why Port Olisar is hosed - for life.

Ok so we all saw the guy picking up random objects and placing them around a confined area with a sink or something right? Then I realized. What's cooler than doing a Sims type decoration of a home? Getting a home and getting things yourself. Want a couch? You have to go to the store, have it either shipped to your ship, or to your home (more expensive) and especially for a couch, you'd need a hover dolly or whatever. It would feel soo cool to actually go buy a bunch of stuff and load it in my ship, and drive it home. Then I could unload and place things around as I see fit. Anyone have any other ideas that sparked from the ATV?

Maybe some flair items like the stupid airplane wing desks they have

Suddenly a very hot lady emerges from a ship next to yours. You offer to help her unload her cargo, because you are a gentleman and hope she will have sex with you as payment. After hours of hard work in the 'verse, you are rewarded with a sore back and two weeks in the station hospital. And she didn't even give you her phone number, the fidelity!

IV.Internal schedules, the ones you will now be privy to, tend to have aggressive dates to help the team focus and scope their tasks, especially in the case of tech development. Every team, even a team blessed with the kind of support and freedom you have allowed us, needs target dates in order to focus and deliver their work.
