trucutru posted:BTW, they have an updated version of our favorite graph Unlike a lot of these games which were able to throw everything out and restart development (TF2, Diablo, Fallout, Prey...) Star Citizen has already presold the game, ships and stretch goals to people. They can't shelve the game and move on to something else in the mean time, wait for technology to catch up, or drastically reimagine and refocus the gameplay.They have 150 million dollars worth of promises to keep. Never mind the fact that even if they did try to, they wouldn't have the money to completely start over +5 years into development. Every game on this list belonged to studios with other properties to keep them afloat during development, or were sold off to other studios and publishers to be finishes.

Okay gang, so what would be the realistic ramifications if the whole thing just immediately shut down this weekend? No more development work, no more art assets, no more ship sales, no more refunds, nothing. Just done? I remember years ago we were talking jail time, but I mean, bankruptcy protection laws might be pretty lenient in at least one of the nations they do business in? Asking for a friend.

Because of this thread I keep getting SC livestreams popping up on my youtube. I watched 2 mins of one earlier, and honestly it was just the saddest thing. Two guys in one of the big ships were floating around in space asking each other in the chat what they should do, and if there were any any enemies around or missions they could do or anything.

If in bankruptcy, I'd expect proceedings against the insiders for payments made to them in the last several years as well as an action against the insurers for the D&O policy assuming one exists. At best, I'd think no more than 5 cents on the dollar back to backers. Probably less. Short answer, everyone gets hosed except the lawyers.

Every new week is getting us closer to the 3.0 update, that huge milestone for our favorite game that will change Star Citizen forever. We also get amazing new info from the developers regarding their progress on not only the Planetary tech but every other feature that will affect this project and help turn it into something else, something more than a game, a living, breathing universe. The planetary tech, that will make its debut in Star Citizen with the 3.0 patch, is very important but not the only feature that will have an impact on the success of Star Citizen. Every little detail, every little feature counts, from the planetary landings and the first set of professions in game to the improved AI, improved mission system and of course the Player Interaction System. The player interaction system is the feature that will allow us, allow our characters to interact with every object, item and weapon in the universe, in a way we have never seen before not only in Star Citizen but in other titles as well. In reality it is the evolution of the Item 2.0 system, an improved version that will give us total freedom to interact with everything in the Verse and perform various complex actions. With this new system it will be easier to approach an item and choose from many different options the action that we want to perform, very different from what we have right now, which is a single action tied to every interactable item. Instead of one only action we will now have many different options popping up in order to choose the one we want, the one that will help us achieve our goals faster. With the help of the player interaction system it will be possible to interact with our weapons, attach or detach components from them directly, altering their functionality like this on the go. Something that until now, in other titles, we would have to do through a menu, going to our inventory, picking the weapon or item we want to interact and select the actions we want to perform. It will not affect only items though, the same system will give us much better control over our ships in the verse. We could interact with and control every little screen, every little button inside our cockpit and perform the appropriate action with it. It is a system that gives us absolute control and freedom, that definitely adds immersion to the game. Like this you can control every little aspect of your vessel, feeling like a true pilot in space performing all the necessary actions to take off and start your adventure one by one. I would dare describe this system as revolutionary despite how easy it looks, how easy is to understand how it works. The way this player interaction system works is very simple actually. It takes into consideration what and how many interactable items are around the player and allow him to interact with them in many different ways, depending on their functionality and purpose. All you need to do is to get closer to these items, press and hold "F" by default, something that will get you into the player interaction mode. Then a cursor will appear, a cursor that you can use in order to interact with the different items in front of you and choose from a number of different options. Such a simple feature that creates so many opportunities for the player. There are of course some concerns regarding how fast this system will be, how easy it will be to use it when you will have to react fast, in a matter of life and death for example. Thankfully the developers have assured us that hotkeys will continue working along with the player interaction system, making it easier to perform certain actions when we need to act super fast, when dog-fighting for example. In my opinion the player interaction system adds certain adventure elements to Star Citizen transforming it into something more than a simple FPS game in space. It will always be an FPS but with a lot more depth from now on regarding player interactions. The control over everything in the verse and the freedom to perform any possible action is unprecedented and a required step towards a living universe. It will also affect our future in the game as well. With the freedom to grab every item, interact with it and place it in any way we like, this player interaction system could also be a great way to decorate our own outposts, homes even, in the future if and when CIG will give us the option to own or even build one. One of the best things of participating in the development of Star Citizen is that we get to witness how features like the player interaction system are born and how they evolve over time. From the simple "USE" system we had before for interacting with items, to the Item 2.0 we have right now that is much smoother and better to use, to the player interaction system in the future that will give us absolute control over our environment and the freedom to perform every action we want in the Verse.

trucutru posted:one of Derek's seven alts. 6. And I saw when Derek registered one of the alts, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four goons saying, Come and see. 2 And I saw, and behold a white spaceship: and he that sat in it had a gimmick; and an account was given unto him: and he went forth trolling, and to troll. 3 And when he had registered the second alt, I heard the second goon say, Come and see. 4 And there went out another spaceship that was red: and power was given to him that sat therein to take peace from the subreddit, and that they should troll one another: and there was given unto him a great blog. 5 And when he had registered the third alt, I heard the third goon say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black spaceship; and he that sat in it had a pair of jpegs in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four goons say, A measure of pixels for a benjamin, and three measures of fidelity for a benjamin; and see thou hurt not the bugs and the lag. 7 And when he had registered the fourth alt, I heard the voice of the fourth goon say, Come and see. 8 And I looked, and behold a pale spaceship: and his name that sat in him was E.L.E., and Jail Time followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the subreddit, to troll with fear, and with uncertainty, and with doubt, and with the goons of the forums. 9 And when he had registered the fifth alt, I saw under his post the accounts of them that were banned for the word of Derek, and for the testimony which they held: 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our banning on them that dwell in the subreddit? 11 And discord accounts were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for two weeks, until their fellow goons also and their brethren, that should be banned as they were, should be fulfilled. 12 And I beheld when he had registered the sixth alt, and lo, there was a great server crash; and the sun became as black as a sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 13 And the stars of heaven clipped through the earth, even as a space ship casteth its untimely passengers, when it is shaken of a mighty bug. 14 And the skybox departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every model and texture were moved out of their places. 15 And the mods of the subreddit, and the great whales, and the rich whales, and the unpaid shills, and the internet tough guys, and every streamer, and every pubbie, hid themselves in their dens and in the basements of their mothers; 16 And said to the ceilings and the roofs, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of Derek: 17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to shill?

The more unhinged fans would probably try to murder the more visible players involved, and Bunnyman would get a new plastic tub marked 'Sandi Parts'. A few die-hards would probably actually toe the line of 'this project failed because we failed it/Derek Smart successfully sabotaged it by saying mean words somehow'.
