Honestly if it was in the game right now it would be a very stressful job what with all the ship explosions, spaghettification of pilots, and Port Olisar's rings becoming sentient and laying waste to the space-lanes.

Oh well. I fail to see how a sample game from Lumberyard is going to help CIG in any way at this point. Might help Derek figure out how to make a game and release it on Lumberyard but it doesn't help the devs working on a game that is already well on its way.

Absolute loving moron.

The whole reason that engine devs (Unity, Unreal, LY) add full games as samples is to showcase features, how to use them etc. e.g. in this LY sample, clearly the atmospheric conditions (Sun pos, voxel-based lighting etc) are all things that LY has, they show how to implement them, and CIG devs can just use what's there, instead of continuing to re-invent the wheel.

It's hilarious to me when I think about it. Back in the July 2015 blog I said:

1) They can't build the game promised. So far, with all the stuff they've cut or botched, this is playing out to be true. In year six, they still don't even have 25% of one game, let alone two games. And they had a delivery date of Nov 2014, with a 12, then 18 month cure period to May 2016. Even though croberts had said numerous times that increased stretch goals won't affect the delivery timeline.

2) Even if they could do #1, they'd need a stellar team to pull it off. Well, here we are in year six. A lot of talented people have come and gone. Those left have never - ever - developed an MMO. And the latest producer they trotted out, Eric, has never - ever - shipped a game. Of any kind.

3) They needed a custom engine to do it. In 2016, we come to find out that they were making the switch from StarEngine to Lumberyard.

4) Even if they had all of the above, they couldn't possibly do it for less than $150 million. Well, here we are at that amount, and still not even 25% of a game, let alone two games. Not to mention that at $65 million, all stretch goals were 100% fully funded.

The best bit about this was I think they made a script that spidered the thread here at the time and it auto reported the Imgur images, but we kept posting their images and they got reported and removed too :laugh: Citizens getting their own stuff removed from Imgur will always be maybe the funniest thing to have happened out of all this to me

They blamed that on us, too. Instead of realizing that almost all the images we were posting in the thread and mocking were just being directly linked from reddit, they went mental and assumed that we had gone full MAD and started getting their images taken down in retaliation. And thus was born Stargur, the short lived and insanely lovely image host built for the explicit purpose of hosting images that goons couldn't destroy...

To be fair, America should be in the Hague over crimes against cheese.

"Oh it all has to be pasteurized, think of the kiddie-winks"

As a result the only Wensleydale I can get over here has little bits of fruit it in and costs a loving fortune. And it's poo poo.

Edit: More ranting. Seriously, there's a world of delicately flavored and creamy cheeses that are effectively licensed and turned into a homogenised version that land'o'lakes shits out in slice form. If you're American and travel abroad, especially to Europe, find a cheese shop and dive head first into a flavor pit that you may never come back from.

And your sausages are poo poo too.
