Happy July Blog Day everyone!!

On this day two years ago, I wrote the Interstellar Citizens blog which sparked a massive debacle (which is still raging) over the project's viability and promise. To mark this occasion, I have added an update (scroll to the bottom) of where things stand, to my How I Got Involved article.

Enjoy!

Its just a release window! They still have two weeks to release to the avocado!

Tomorrows schedule update:
More delays on milestones but no actual delay on apparent releases. Next week they'll delay the avocado again

So I'm new here I just followed the leper's colony links but are all of derek smart's posts in here this kind of "hey guys just casually dropping another link a a blog post I made about my influence on this game, isn't that great? People are still massively raging about the blog that I wrote!" now?

tbh I miss the "4 paragraph sick burn/mic drop with 5+ links to Reddit threads" style

Even though people have been calling it a scam since the kickstarter went live that news never reached the inside of his own rear end so he never heard it.

star citizen's hilarious endless development cycle is absolutely in no way eerily reminiscent of Battlecruiser 3000's development cycle, by the way.

I think the BC3000 thing is really the most baffling to me about the whole deal. It'd be like if John Romero went after the Shadow Warrior 2 devs for making a swordfighting game that was too crude and juvenile.

The two hhhwhat.... The two yutes your honor
So once they release 3.0, are we all going to have to admit it's a game finally? Gameplay loops are the fundamental step to making this finally fun.

Scenario 1: Space Salvager

Get up from wankpod and get to space hub and load up a ship
Realize I need a better ship # Stop playing for a minute and spend an extra $200 to upgrade through RSI website
Load up new better ship in game
Stop by clothing store to browse # Out of real money until next paycheck
Get super secret mission from Miles to bring him broken space widgets from space crash #Admire his jacket for a minute
Fly to debris field and salvage widgets
Get attacked and blast space pirates that were hiding
Return widgets to Miles and he is super impressed

Scenario 2: Space Cargo Delivery Guy

Get up from wankpod and get to space hub and load up ship
Realize I'm just some stupid delivery guy and use cheap moldy ship
Stop by clothing store to browse # Stop playing and spend $50 on in-game delivery jacket because I've got to stay in character
Get super secret mission from Miles to deliver space widgets to Moon base
Go to cargo store and put in numbers on keypad
Go to ship and confirm numbers on ship manifest screen
Fly to Moon base and drop off cargo # Drop off guy probably saw my new jacket and was impressed


Star Citizen confirmed.

It may be a pot-kettle situation but he's our pot. Well, I guess it's more like he showed up here one day, and it doesn't seem like he's going anywhere. He isn't so objectionable as to get perma-banned and so that's just how it is, I guess.

You'll learn to filter out the Derek noise. I don't think he can help it. Occasionally he'll say something important but you have to distill that meaning from 50,000 words of exaggeration.

I think this is where it is headed for them as a company delivering a product. You saw the production tins a couple months ago, the new refund template, and of course the loan. Shipping this out will basically absolve them of any potential contractual pursuits for those that feel they have been wronged by Roberts Space Industries. This will be the MVP.

your correct here. Expect that derek actually released battlecruiser 3000
Yet star citizen fails to do that.

Its like john romero going after product that is basically daikatana 2, warning that it is suffering from daikatana's problems.
