They also roped their facilities manager (a black woman) into the videos for a while, perhaps as a response to particularly scandalous allegations from the Escapist.

He's not a programmer. He is an art guy. Why he's heading a studio of engineers in Germany? No loving clue. But if I were to guess, I'd say loyalty, and the probability that his involvement in art movies and such, which have been the main focus of the project, probably has something to do with it.

But a huge scoop is what prompted my earlier tweets to him. I am still waiting for further clarification before I go any further. Regardless, I'm not going to spill the beans until the day before GamesCon (Aug 22).

Not just "a studio" of engineers, Derek. This is "The Studio" cited for all the ground breaking development. The Frankfurt studio has been cited for so much, probably because of the language barrier. It's pretty ground shaking that an animation/cutscene guy, as experienced as he could possibly be, is running the fundamental engine and technology studio.

lol she just got a little over invested in the drama, and wandered into the realm of cringey. She got a week probation, and apparently took it as a personal affront and never posted again, and bootcha has only ever very rarely posted afterwords.

On the leash, Bootcha.

Taking probations/bans worse than Derek, lol.

She'd totally be welcome back. A probation is no biggy. Just chill on threatening people, and relax into just posting.

Edit: Her posts were heavily "my boyfriend" oriented, which kind of made things awkward for everyone.

A probation is like a Participation Trophy in this thread lol.

Things she's arrived at

1) The entire thing is being reworked for 3.0 essentially rendering the entire alpha process so far useless
2) Delta patcher still doesnt exist and its being used as an excuse by CIG to not actually do proper alpha testing of systems
3) CIG is marketing every single part of the alpha testing experience and not actually conducting any testing
4) No content has been released for nearly 8 months
5) This is all the fault of the Derek Smarts and naysayers of the world

This is the type of people still being bamboozled by CIG.

Did she explain why she thinks 5) is true?

It was more in the context of "I know you can't release things for us to test until they are perfect because of the naysayers, but boy howdy I sure wish you'd let us test poo poo."

Because detractors somehow influence CIG to stop doing more constant patches. Like because we point out how poo poo everything is CIG just clams up and doesn't release things anymore unless they are big so they can get the media behind them.

Just reading over this again, it's completely crazy. This person needs to be a paid astroturfer, otherwise they are completely nuts, and need professional mental health care.

So CR didn't said hope... but the sentiment is the same ... "thats our goal" it's not a set date like you like think and trying to push. But my point still holds up ... you did Gloss over somethings while accusing me of glossing and now accusing me of mental gymnastics and dishonesty. Riiiight While you in vein attempt to push a mr smart agenda of "delivery dates" gotcha rhetoric so (try) to discredit my mockery of his "As Pitched" rhetoric ... hahaha! Seems like you're the one who's projecting mental gymnastics and dishonesty.

This is total insanity. Actual word salad.

Imagine for a moment that Derek Smart does not exist.



Star Citizen still isn't released.



Nothing Derek has done has slowed down the release of... anything. The only thing Derek has done is accelerate it.

Remember when CIG released Alpha 2.0 where you could finally play the loving game? It would crash when people did the simple act of joining a server. Or if you clicked fhe wrong option. Or if you accidentally touched a ship improperly. Or if you walked in a straight line for more than 5 seconds. Yet you scum suckers still have the audacity to claim this project is worth the 160 million that has been lining this golden casket that will eventually contain the single most disappointing venture in video game history.

Never will another product promise so much, with so little, only to be given the keys to the kingdom and promptly set ablaze to watch it all die.
