"Waiting For A Concept Like You" So long, I've been looking too hard, I've been waiting too long Sometimes I don't know what I will find, I only know it's a matter of time When you love a ship, when you love a ship It feels so right, lots of fidelity too, I need to know if the gameplay is true Maybe I'm wrong, won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong? This wallet of mine has been hurt before, this time I want to be sure I've been waiting for a ship like you to come into my fleet I've been waiting for a ship like you, if your final render does survive I've been waiting for Persistent-U to make me feel alive Yeah, waiting for a ship like you to come into my fleet You're so good, when we make love it's understood It's more than a touch or a word can say Only in dreams could it be this way When you love a ship, yeah, really love a ship Now, I know it's right, from the moment I pledge till deep in the night There's nowhere in UEE that I'd rather be than holding you tenderly I've been waiting for a ship like you to come into my fleet I've been waiting for a ship like you, if your final render does survive I've been waiting for Persistent-U to make me feel alive Yeah, waiting for a ship like you to come into my fleet I've been waiting, waiting for you, ooh Ooh, I've been waiting (Waiting) I've been waiting (I've been waiting for a ship like you, I've been waiting) won't you come into my fleet?

Risc1911 posted:I think what he meant is they have one global light that acts as the sun. They don't have "real" suns that emit light. I also bet they don't have planets that move around said suns. From his statement, I don't think so. Also, as I posted earlier, they can't have one light emitter in such a large scene. It will never be lit properly. So they would need to place a light source at each star. no_recall posted:In response to the ATV. I remember watching this and feeling pretty inspired by what they were going for. That's because the entire world is built as levels in the editor. There's no procedural generation of the world. The only procedural generation they have going, would be in the terrain generation, which is what every terrain engine does anyway. Hobold posted:How the gently caress does r/ds keep thinking its being an 'archive' when there are literal places that do that already. Archive.is and waybackmachine do a better job of what they claim to be doing, without all the biased bullshit and hate stalking. Maybe because it's not an archive, and they're just using that to justify the existence?

trucutru posted:
Yeah, that happened last evening after he OSC made a massive post Let's Talk LumberYard Engine Switch. Key point: quote:"CIG spent millions to license a stock game engine, spent additional millions over several years to build a custom game engine; only to then scrap it for another custom engine. While Amazon spent millions to buy a stock engine license, is spending millions to improve it, and then released it as a more superior engine to CIG's (who had a huge head start over Amazon) own offering." The /r/StarCitizen mods banned him shortly thereafter. The reason? ==== "I messaged the mod to ask why. And got this response. At least they're not pretending anymore. "Your close interaction with Derek Smart." ==== Hobold posted:They couldn't make a shadowban or reddit wide ban stick, so they just said gently caress it and punted him from the one place they can control? Yeah. And they've been trying real hard since he appeared three weeks ago. Hobold posted:Can he go over the sub mods heads and get the banned overturned by admins, or is he just done at this point? I don't know how that poo poo heap works, because gently caress Nah. Mods control their own Reddits, and can do what they want there. But he did say last week (when the mass spam reported him and got him shadowbanned) that if they has asked him not to post in their Reddit, that he would have obliged. So after this recent post - which ofc they didn't like - they didn't ask because that would be playing nice. They just banned him. Problem solved. No more effort posts there.  When this poo poo-show ends in the coming months, all this history is going to be so hilarious when we look back and laugh/troll those guys. It's going to be all kinds of epic.

Streetroller posted:I think you failed to appreciate my link ... those were two supermassive black holes in one galaxy! The scary thing is, the data they have from those supermassive black holes is from 400 million years ago. It's probably safe to say that the SMBH's have by now smashed into each other and either created an absolutely staggeringly sized supermassive (Hypermassive?) black hole or the act of those two gigantic masses coming together has triggered a devastating 'big bang' which is now obliterating everything and will eventually blow through our solar system rending every object back down to it's component particles. I reckon SC will release shortly afterwards, albeit in an unfinished state.

Sarsapariller posted:I'm not gonna leap to the defense of any of these. Personally I'm kind of impressed by some of the tech DU has shown but I agree it's nowhere near what they are promising, yet. Chances are that just like with the dozen or so released so far, a few of the second gen. games will be really good. Nothing's ever going to meet the scope of Star Citizen's ambition, though, because it is literally impossible. This will be what keeps this second wave of games from upsetting backers, just like the first. On the other hand if it releases, there will be some schoolyard fights....

Chin posted:The LA engineering team are "currently working on creating a technique for clients to request persistent information." As I said in my July blog, it's going to kill people when they finally realize everything done to date is 0% of an MMO development. They haven't even begun working on Star Citizen yet. They are on their way to a drop-in-drop-out type arena game though. But only on a single level. I don't believe they have figured out data streaming across different levels and getting people to move seamlessly between them.

Lotta people believing in that post-release rise in ship value. You know, the way it works in real life. I keep trying to explain to my accountant that she's wrong; that 10% depreciation on my brand new Yaris should be a fourfold increase in value. The rental market alone for this sweet whip should pay for itself within months.

Virtual Captain posted:My story is Star Citizen sounded cool back in 2013 as I failed several times to enjoy EvE. Never pledged because the Kickstarter pitch sounded vague to me but thankfully CIG continues to deliver wonderful self-ownage free of charge. I wanna revise my Star Citizen story. I saw the kickstarter before it ended. They either had way too much money already or it was clear they weren't going to have trouble. I was confused about if it was an MMO or some kind of world with matchmaking Frankenstein and honestly I've never seen this clarified other than private servers are the very last thing to be worked on, aka never happening for those not familiar with IT/software projects. The pitch seemed all about small fighter gameplay and I'm more interested in slower methodical space battles. I'll check it out on release and see if it's something I'm interested in. Couple months later I check out the Star Citizen thread on SA. It's so filled to the brim with ~dreams~ that I couldn't tell speculation from working mechanics, I think the RSI site is starting to look pretty fancy about this time. I occasionally see videos of Chris Roberts being asked a few questions in the hallway, They're approaching 50mil or something and now he's a bigshot with barely any time for questions. I think "drat they must have an outrageous team with that kind of money" yet all I can find is pre-rendered videos. Fast forward to Elite Dangerous release. I used to watch some gaming talk shows on youtube or twitch and every time the subject of space sims comes up all the citizens start going berserk. Looked into Star Citizen status again and there are so many red flags just concerning feature creep. I open the SA thread which is now in it's own sub-forum. It's immediately clear the project is in perpetual death throes. Anyone who can't figure out this is a confidence scam in 10 mins probably would have fallen for something else equally as dumb.

What is this magic evidence that they so vocally claim exists, yet never gets shown anywhere? Why does it matter? Even if he didn't exist, SC'd still be circling the drain. He has no direct impact on the project, save maybe forcing last minute name changes on poo poo resulting in the potato incident from a couple years back.

I dunno. Maybe he knows all that poo poo right away because those  idiots keep throwing everything in his face, claiming its proof/absolute fact that actually makes them all look like clowns.But no. poo poo all over the dude for knowing things that you keep throwing in his face. Like he is supposed to just ignore everything, like does about how much of a poo poo show this project is.
