  • Black Mesa
That's it. He was a programmer for the Black Mesa mod. That's his only released game. What the gently caress.

The Senior Gameplay Programmer for one of the most ambitious and costly games in history has a single released title, and it's for a goddamn mod. What. The. gently caress.

You seem surprised by this, but SC is a really jacked up CryEngine mod. They did a great job with it, too. It's some great modding.

Not disagreeing or agreeing with your point. But calling Ben Lesnick a developer is rich as hell, and I'll never get tired of it.

Oh right, guy who has been probated for being creepy who has a long history of touching the poop by tweeting tickle gifs and weird poo poo to official twitter handles of game developers, my posts are nowhere near "What does Ben Lesnicks bedroom look like really?!" posting. I concede goon sir.

I want to point out that this isn't some conspiracy or that I'm trying to make stuff up to discredit Mark or to make fun of him; this is a real thing. This is also not a good thing.

What is the proper strategy for poaching top talent away from big name developers that offer high salaries that aren't dependent on pledges, benefits that won't be yanked away because the company is in no danger of going under, competent management that won't second guess your calls, and realistic time tables that won't make you work crunch time through your kids' soccer games?

The best part of Bugsmashers is watching how much poo poo is stripped out for a result when the original code was probably there for a reason. Albeit, there are much better ways to handle problems in the original Crysis engine...but they are there for a reason and these wanton hacks on the code without lack of regression testing are the results we get laughs most days when Olisar rings float around.

This of course is a lack of management. Fidelity over quality. Hence, Roberts is basically at fault for producing these issues.

It's not solving bugs. Your foundation of your house is caving in and you are spackling the cracks on the drywall to give a nice appearance before you sell the poo poo heap to some idiot.

Exactly. The few I have seen that may be inching closer to some kind of realisation are the ones that are wondering why they're having a sales push 2 months before what will be their landmark release.

It's almost like they need the money.
It's almost like 3.0 isn't gonna be out at the end of June.
It's almost like CIG is anticipating a long, lean summer of discontent and wants to build up as much of a warchest as possible while backers are still optimistic.

Most still aren't connecting the dots though, and if they begin to join then the backers cognitive dissonance kicks in and they start telling themselves the same old mantras...

'I'd rather have a great game than a rushed one'
'They have X hundred staff, how can they not be making a game?'
'Chris only releases things which are very high quality'
'I/They don't understand game development'

this is why it's so goddamn hard for them to finish anything. when key people, especially programming staff, leave in the middle of a project, it hurts. you don't just slam another person in there, no matter what reddit thinks. you can lose months or years of development with the loss of several (or sometimes even one) key programmers

chris must have cum all over his black jeans n turtleneck combo when amazon sent real, honest to god programmers with experience and released games under their belt

he must've been fuckin pissed when they took the gently caress off, too

I agree with this. :)

Though the thing that gets me is I'm not sure if he's happy that he gets experienced people, or if he dreads it because he needs to reprogram them to follow his footsteps. I feel like he's like that new hire manager who has to shake things up and change procedures because he needs to incite his authority over his group. And like that manager he never bothered to actually learn the job beforehand, because he already knows how things have to go.

Sadly CR is out of his depth but too egotistical to let the reigns go at the moment to somebody with actual production knowledge. Having people who've shipped games more recently than 10-20 years ago would be a direct challenge to his capabilities. What will he do if this guy/girl says "No, Chris, this is how this works to get this part working."

And then you have high turnover because you're Chris Roberts the loving CEO with millions of dollars you feel you earned.

Here is a blog post by Boredgamer from 9 months ago.

Highlights

Expect 2.6 any week now. ~ October 2016

3.0 THE STANTON SYSTEM
This update should be with us before Christmas & progress on this patch is kind of separate from anything SQ42 and 2.6 related.

OTHER 2016 RELEASES
SQ42 Demo
Delta Patching

SQ42 EPISODE 1 DELAY
But expect them to have a good amount of polish on SQ42 Episode one when it does come out as everything is greyboxed or better already.

Yes – the change to Lumberyard hasn’t delayed us on the project. In fact, in some cases, such as utilizing the new graphics features implemented in Lumberyard, it saved time and sped things up compared to the very drawn out process of creating that work from scratch."
