MinorInconvenience posted:Yeah. I never understood that explanation. Do expenses magically disappear when you don't have a publisher? Dipshits. Pretty much they made a chart once showing that all of the development funds for games are stolen by greedy publishers. EDIT: Found it.

/r/StarCitizen: "3.0.0 and Global Progress Watch - Update 2017-05-26" "Welcome to this week's Progress Watch. I wanted to start with a couple of things. First, I made a few improvements to all my Progress Watch spreadsheets. The colors have been ajusted for better visibility on low contrast monitors, and I added a progress counter for DONE / TODO tasks in each subsection. My other remark is that the production report CIG gives us is getting more and more inconsistent week after week. Text is contradicting images on an increasing number of tasks, and the global schedule is itself drifting away from the 3.0.0 schedule on their common tasks. I'm doing my best to maintain consistency in my reports, but don't be surprised if there are a few dates jumps here and there. CIG, if you need any proofreading, I can help! 3.0.0 Progress Watch We have LOTS of stuff to see this week. First thing to note is that Gameplay, Graphics and Ships&Weapons departments have experienced delays, respectively of 15, 8 and 7 days. Let's get into the details." Quick copy & paste:

In the last 500 years, the Fourth Stimpire has dominated four systems, which it has united into one starzone, Stimsis. The Fourth Stimpire has origins from the Ten Empire War in which 10 of the United Stimpires revolted against each rules. All empires except for the fourth swore freedom upon their citizens. There is no free speech in the Fourth Stimpire, and all self-controlled transportation has been made illegal without undergoing painful medical verification methods, in which arteries are severed without pain resistant, operated entirely by machines. The way they work claim to be the most hygenic and healthy way possible, but these machines often rub against pain points, causing great deals of pain to patients. The heart is then extracted from the body and placed into a glass grinding machine. Various energy centers are also dissected and replaced with dangerous transplants. After the painful, 52 hour surgical procedure, patients will then have to use a fused guidance tool, which pumps painful resistors into the body every 2 hours. The pain they have caused is so bad, the victim would freeze in a tense position. They would then collapse afterwards. Sexual stimulation in any way within the grounds of the Fourth Stimpire is strictly prohibited, and anyone detected even touching their sexual organs will be subjected to a penectomy or if the offender was a female, they would then have a razor inserted into their ovaries. They would pump a blue solution into the womb until the stitchings burst. Offenders would also be forced to show their operated areas in public, and they would always harass and punch them to a pulp, against their will. Otherwise, offenders would be tazed with the worst type of electricity in the systematic district, causing so much pain, the victim would scream and flail in madness. The pain would also triple every second, but no death would be incurred. This is also used in combat against enemy units, which is why all UEE forces must wear the upgraded suit to block this effect. However, enertainment is also questionable in UEE grounds. Sporting events end with the losing team being rounded into a grinder and shredded on live television, boxing matches end with the loser having their hands removed without anasthesia, flight races would end with the losers having their arms and legs removed, then being injected with insanity, for entertainment. People are also forced into these events, by undergoing a painful 127 hour procedure which involves tweaking the muscles so they will not listen to brain commands, and then having a painful drug injected which also causes madness if the player is not sporting. This is all for entertainment, and anyone not watching any of it during sporting times and cheering for the winning team, they will be imprisoned into galactic camps. Snuff films are also broadcast, and actors are actually murdered just for entertainment. Stealth droids also guide these forced actors into behaving exactly as the director dreams, otherwise they will be punished by being placed into a macerator and having their execution written into the film. Any film that does not feature someone being murdered will be burned and the entire crew behind it will be executed in the most grotesque way possible - vivisection. All executions are broadcast, and anyone who misses even a millisecond, even by blinking, will be executed. All citizens must boo to the person being executed, and the family is gathered to be injected with eternators, which cause pain forever, making them immoral but feeling the pain tenfold every millisecond. They cannot pass out, but they will feel like it forever. Conquests by this Stimpire end in the planet being razed, and all the citizens being executed in the same way as their citizens are. The planet is then destroyed and all remnants of it are removed, and any memories of it will be erased instantly from civil minds. People who are also killed are also erased from memories, and all memories of them, including toys and pictures, are destroyed. Prisoners undergo 40,000 years of relentless and endless labor, and anyone not complying is sentenced to the eternator injection. All prisoners injected with eternators are placed into capsules and launched into far space, then the room is closed tight to ensure maximum insanity. Some prisoners are also subjected to the removal of blood, the lungs, the liver, the genitals, the skeleton, the muscles, the eyes, and even the injection of pressure. Prisoners sentenced to pressure chambers are locked in until they are inflated to a high level. The decompression is then stopped to make sure they are inflated and uncomfortable. Children born on the 14th of July are subjected to the removal of their skeleton and an implant of a silver liquid to replace it. The nervous sysem is also injected in various parts to ensure it is five times more sensitive than the average. Restaurants also are ordered to serve civil meat, and anyone attending must give themself up to be cooked into a grotesque meal. They are cooked alive, undergoing extreme pain, and are then subjected to industrial grinders and blenders. The Stimpire orders at least 1 million citizens to be dispatched every day, as they are afraid the population may overthrow them. But only one planet is cared for, and the rest are banned from eating, drinking, talking, using technology, touching anyone, wearing unauthorized clothes, touching buildings, or walking a centimeter out of designated routes. Civil enforcers are on every planet, and they are engineered so that they are 40 times larger than the 300 quadrillion population. At least 7 billion die every 12 hours under this rule. Thoughts are also surveyed, and anyone who does not think anything to loving the Stimpire with more than their capabilities will be sentenced to a prison. Prisoners who are punished for this violation will meet their greatest fear, only to have it amplified so they will turn insane as they imagine it exactly as they fear it. They then undergo a painful extraction of all fluids, to be replaced by a toxin which causes permanent irritation. The unknown substance keeps the subject aging normally, except they will never die. Prisoners punished in this way are unable to be reverted, despite many efforts, and they will never be able to be disposed. The sickening truths have been revealed only today, and invigilation teams are still investigating the truths without setting foot in the galactic space of this sickening empire.

Someone explain to me how something that was slated to be finished a week ago can need 2 more weeks of work Sure delays and all that but it's just comical at this point that they're literally pushing the pin further down the calendar each week Does absolutely no one at this 150 million dollar company know how to manage a project And really they had a firm hard and fast schedule with all the important things on the list , now they're cutting some things they deemed not important to 3.0, and adding others because they either think it will be cool or is critical to have other things work how have they not realized this week's and months ago ? What the flying gently caress

Imagine if they actually scaled the scope of their project and made incremental releases that resulted in an actual franchise that came together into the final MMO.

publisher also handles the marketing and all that crap. In their case, with the star actors, the publisher may have even helped in negotiating those high dollar contracts. but who need em? And publishers also provide that feeling of your investors breathing down your neck necessary for not faffing around.

How can the estimated delivery date for a quest giver NPC be earlier than that of the planet/asteroid landing zone he is to inhabit? Watch them drop that Eckhart model in Olisar and have him just standing in a corner playing idle animations.

It's a good thing that software development is routinely a low-pressure affair with highly flexible deadlines.

They still believe a game will magically appear out of this mess eventually.

CIG should have never allowed themselves to put up a schedule like this. Best case scenario it shows how ridiculously incompetent they are, like pushing something back an entire month because of a "stretch goal". Worst case scenario (for them) it exposes the whole thing for the hilarious scam that it is.
