Ghostlight posted:the technical term is aether and in fact, as Newton observed, the aether must get thinner the higher you go as the currents of aether being drawn into the celestial bodies is the cause of objects to move through it in reliably downward direction ever toward the larger body, but at a rate that diminishes at distance such that the celestial bodies themselves are not drawn so much into each other that they collide. Thus, the newtonian physics present in the game.

Sarsapariller posted:One fun thing that nobody in the community has really caught onto yet- Who says it has to be a spike? What if it's a trickle? What if CIG is taking this 5 million dollar loan and is propping up the funding tracker by buying ships with their own money, essentially recycling backer funds into the game and parking ships bought on a virtual parking lot. The funding tracker is important because it keeps confidence high, keeps people pledging, stops people from refunding. What's to stop them? And what's to stop them from dumping them on the market for cheap when the game comes out, thus dicking over backers who plan on selling their limited availability ships on the open market.

Danknificent posted:So I remember it was weird when one day it occurred to me that boy, we hadn't heard from Gary Oldman and Gillian and the A-List cast and all that for a long time. The loan was to pay off the A-listers before they sued RSI in open court for residuals promised to them when the game was supposed to be released in 2015

You can't expect to raise millions each month on promises when it becomes obvious that it's all crap. it's impossible to wake someone up if they're pretending to be asleep and citizens are pretending something fierce

Seriously what sort of loving idiot accepted all that poo poo as collateral? What's gonna happen when they call it in, and all CIG has to present (after possibly being ordered by the courts) is something akin to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rolHSTWp3w0

After reading about the loan thing, I was looking at the filing history for F42, and I came across something I don't understand: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/08703814/charges/AHMo7d0tVN50wGM-FC6tbyhYlss The CH webpage says there's a negative pledge, but when I look at the pdf, section 7 has this: which seems contradictory. So what am I missing here? Ponzi fucked around with this message at 10:27 on Jun 27, 2017 |

Milky Moor posted:it's impossible to wake someone up if they're pretending to be asleep I think it's gradually happening, the really dumb ones on r/ds are the exception. August will be a good test as it's going to be a year since the 3.0 reveal at Gamescom and Chris Roberts must to be tempted to throw a sickie, rather than get up on that stage and spin another yarn. 3.0 is going to be like Star Marine, crap and massively overhyped.

I don't think the days since last screw up got reset on the loan. Can someone hit it retroactively please.The Titanic posted:I think you're right on this, but I think it's also because making an FPS game is also easier than their Frankenstein space ship game. Their modder-tier programming department can handle making FPS stuff. Just copy the tutorials. CIG has been doing that with 3D art for 5 years. Now the programmers can do it with Star Marine. It translates practically nothing to the main experience of Star Citizen and is one of the bigger fuckups of management in my opinion, fracturing their already thin development.

starkebn posted:I'm the engines that are hot at the intake When CIG goes under I'm going to buy a bunch of their ship assets and duct tape these far more realistic engines to them so that people can toot around the 'verse. Bonus gameplay mechanic: You can carry parp cans in your cargo hold and when you run out of air your commando can nipple jet outside and tape new ones on. You can then stow your used cans in your hold to take to a recycling depot, where you will earn a universal recycling deposit of 10UEC.

You can pay in credits in-game, of course, or you can just give me 50 cents every time you need it. I don't want people whose time is very valuable to have to grind unnecessarily.

The Titanic posted:For the game itself you're looking at probably 300k in game art asset value. Despite multiple refactors there's really not a lot of art. There's not even enough to make a decent enough single player game with multiple unique looking levels. You've got basically really super pretty arenas and small places. They probably spent 20 million or more getting these assets, but the final stuff is not impressive, unique, and most importantly there's not a lot of it. I hope the post-mortem documentary can track down a couple of LA producers or editors that can explain exactly how much effort when into the youtube videos. I dunno about 8-12 million, but I certainly get the impression a professional production studio is involved. To my knowledge Chris said every dollar goes towards making Star Citizen the BDSSE, not towards development.
