24 player hard limit per server in your MMO that shits itself if it gets more than twelve players on it and god forbid more than six people show up to a ship fight

I'm just baffled by the 24 player limit. Twenty years ago I played MUDs over a dialup connection and they hosted more simultaneous connections than that. Chris, release Star Marine as a MUD. Reinvent the text parser.

They can't get an Idris working because it will crash the server. They can't get players to stop clipping through walls. They can't get gravity working between players and their chariots. Planets are basically nothing more than giant chariots, literally tens of thousands of Idrises large, on which player chariots will have to contend with gravity (don't forget the extra physics an atmosphere will add!) along with the commando in his chariot, interacting with what, in space, was the chariot's gravity, but now, on the planet's surface, is planetary gravity assuming the ship's artificial gravity field has been taken into account, along with a million other factors. I can't wait to ram a planet with an Aurora and have it spinning off into its star, along with every city, ship, player, and sandworm on it, everything clipping through everything else. In Star Citizen, you control the commando who controls the ship who rams the planet which hits the star which crashes the server. ...but I'm sure this has been thought out at every level by Chris, the man who, to this day, does not understand that you can't "swim" through a zero-g vacuum by moving your body a certain way. No, it's us who just don't get what he's trying to explain to us. If we could just eject Chris into a zero-g vacuum he'd show us how that's done. I'd donate to that stretch goal.

TheAgent posted:yeah, orbiting, landing poo poo is hard enough to do in a single player setting There is a commando, on his buggy, on the cargo elevator of a ship, that is being towed, on a planet that circles around its star. Then the commando accelerates and jumps off his buggy while another commando is watching. Can you imagine the cascade of calculations that the game will have to do in order to calculate the trajectory properly? Ahahaha.

toanoradian posted:Congratulations on another PNG well done, G0RF. How do you make these, anyway? They look so slick and professional. Thanks! They're done in Illustrator. This one had some stock elements, the basic color wheel being extensively modified from it. The execution part went faster than the conceptual part and the germ of the idea was ancient, rooted in annoyance with blanket indiscriminate labels people throw around to dismiss all critics and criticism. Ben, Sandi, streamers, Blobers -- "Trolls" and "Haters" have always been a shorthand method to reject the lot of us. It was never so simple. But trying to model it out sensibly "who are the main voices and how do they differ?" was a tricky conceptual problem for me. That took a lot of notepad jotting over a long span, a few minutes here if inspired, a few minutes there if provoked. It's not a perfect model but more representative than most of the simpler taxonomies people seem to use. Once that taxonomy was fixed the rest came more easily. "Zealots are another name for White Knights, I'll use a sword... so what would be the Hater equivalent?" Solving that stuff upfront makes the design execution part easier, at least for me. The 3.0 thing prior was just free-form, in part adapting aspects from last year's simpler 2.6 progress chart graphics. It was a much bigger graphic but much simpler problem, with Chris's words and actions dictating much of it. thatguy posted:RSI has the worst moderation of any forum or community I've ever been to. You know what they say, man... "It filters from the top!"

If you'd order any other product, it would be like paying again and again. While being told that your order will arrive in just 2 weeks. And those guys are still paying again and again. Meanwhile the arrival is always creeping away from them. Week by week. The heartbreaking truth of Game development: It's like tempting a thirsty person in a desert with a bottle of cooled water. Only it's the worst kind of bacteria ridden sludge.

Star Citizen feels as though a contractor was hired to build a small and perfectly reasonable addition to the existing kitchen in your house for X amount of money, then they asked some random guy walking past on the street if they could expand the project. Now, they are trying to add a parking garage in the backyard (which is inaccessible from the street), three new bedrooms above the existing attic and renovating your entire bathroom, all the while they have cut a bunch of holes through your load bearing beams (compromising the structure of the existing house) and are now asking for more money so they can keep going and install a sink in your bedroom. They never got permits for anything, so there is no oversight, and your backyard now looks like a warzone, but they will "come back to fix this later".
