I know it's probably a small gripe, but if they're paying Erin $300k Brit dollars or whatever, why is he over in the US appearing on their TV show, instead of working on the game?

Do you think he stays in Chris's 5th spare bedroom or rents a suite at the Ritz?

Wasn't the whole point of having all these disjointed studios so that they could get more work done, meanwhile the boss of the studio that seems to be doing any work isn't even there?

The lead of the UK studio isn't even in the UK, and I'm sure it isn't cheap to ship him around just to appear on their talk show

We're talking about the same thing. I was saying that he can afford to be in the US on company's dime, since it's not costing him anything. Same when Chris also goes over there, to GER etc. Backers will never know, you know?

The Roberts Brothers are practionioners of inverse productivity. The further away they are the more work gets done. That's why places like Monaco are integral to the design process.

okay after watching the video I now see that they didn't actually reinvent the concept of serializing variables, they just realized they could use macros to avoid having to copy-paste the serialize and deserialize methods into every single class and structure.

The real question is why they're writing their own serialization code in the first place instead of using any of the libraries that already exist for such a basic thing in any popular language.

They look exactly like 64 bit floating point numbers. They have ~17 significant decimal digits which is completely consistent with them being double precision numbers and I have no idea why you would think otherwise.

Because those libraries didn't exist (kind of…) when Chris made Strike Commander, and he knows from that experience that this is a problem they will have to spend a lot of coding time on.

What is happening. Why are they doing these graphics when they have a garbage game?
Is it because they are full of idle animators who they want to keep around for the next fake GamesCom demo and concept ship promo video? Nah, can't be.
