Oh wow. I didn't notice this.

My favourite touch is the way that her gait plainly changes after you finish a big fight. She stands up straighter and walks with confidence, almost strutting. But then over time the voices and the doubts come back and she hunches down, alone and I terror.

This is a wonderful, unsettling game. Also here's a Dev diary about the importance of picking a good default pose and what that implies for your whole animation scheme.

What an interesting discussion that whole thread produced! Forgive my rambling, I found the whole thread incredibly interesting.

Discussions were considerably more coherent than discussions about the chart on /dereksmart, who conspicuously chose to archive the ugly inverted chart, not the lovely original. (That's hardly good faith documenting, DS friends, I really did endeavor to make it a lovely to look at...)

MMORPG forum discussions about Star Citizen fit the future-facing, past-revising positivity bias originally modeled at RSI forums. Permnanent embeds like Max Bacon and Erillion have 10,000+ posts between them yet I've never seen one demanding accountability from CIG, for 'tis Heresy. The "9 Voices of Star Citizen Debate" discussion produced lots of engagement and views yet is the only MMORPG forum post closed from the first page of threads. Why? ("Goons!" )

Self-appointed, totally non-biased forum mayor Erillion rushed straight to ad hominem. Only a few weeks ago, when the Alpha 3.0 Infographic hit his jurisdiction, he countered with sawed-off shotgun blasts stereotyping the source and defending Chris Roberts against the implications of the work:



I can hardly vouch for my own trustworthiness, of course, but the irony isn't lost that Erillion is one of the most energetic, full-throated defenders of Chris Roberts, a person who has indisputably lied brazenly and repeatedly over a 5 year span. he has done it before live audiences numbering in the five digits and raised $156 million doing it, yet Erillion is not only untroubled by all of that, he's eager to stereotype criticism from SA because not a single participant here can be trusted. We are all uniformly evil, hellbent on chaos, lacking constructive motives, etcetera while Chris Roberts is cool and good and furthermore...

So, in light of his take on the Alpha 3.0 chart, it's really rich that only a few weeks later, when the 9 Voices chart hit MMORPG and the OP asked people to identify where they fit on the chart, Erillion immediately identified himself as a "Believer."

This is a guy who has written 7,600+ posts in that forum alone, hundreds of which include broadside attacks on critics ("goons!" ), yet he considers himself only mildly-positively biased, not engaged in Evangelism and certainly not attacking perceived threats on moralistic grounds.

Are you sure we're the ones engaged in a propaganda war, Erillion?

Flashback: MMORPG Thread about Star Marine - January 2016 - a tour de force thread starring Erillion as paladin defender of Chris Roberts, Derek Smart as the firebomb thrower, justagamemode, Sunny's Diner, Lando Santa and the special edition Porsche PLUS a very special guest appearance by Lethality as the "Jason Hutchins is not gone. I welcome proof that he is." guy.

Flashback: MMORPG Thread about the Star Citizen tracker - April 2017 - Max Bacon and Erillion sing another stirring rendition of "Goons! " (Max Bacon wanting to host the tracker to make sure it's honest is though.)

I'm learning Game Maker Studio 2 and it's inspiring me to make a Star Citizen development tribute. So far I've got the player character being Chris Robert's head and he shoots spaceship .jpegs at angry backers.

Hey friend, you should respond to some of the posts calling you out for being retarded after you tried to call out Agent for being retarded. Doing otherwise would be very rude and unprofessional.

Hey Pal: I think I can continue to be as smug as I want in knowing that CIG is hard at work making the foundational systems that will carry the project for the next decade. 5 Years in (6, by some fuzzy math by resident non-accredited PhDs) is not a call for concern. I think a lot of the hurt and pain experienced by some of you stems from the fact that you have no insight into a private company's operations or financials and just bark at clouds because half of you don't understand the gaming business. CIG projected deadlines. CIG missed deadlines because of reasons (contractors leaving, internal structuring, whatever). CIG learned form mistakes and have toned-down deadline speak. Comparatively, the project is more open than the likes of EA or Activision, or any other gaming studio when it comes to systems, gameplay, art, etc.

You guys want to attach a filter to my posts, stating that I'm some sort of troll, backer, employee, shill - whatever. Fact is, half of this thread is simply getting-off on dropping a ninja-comment and leaving just for the lulz, Derek doesn't realize he's been played like a fiddle, and some of you really just want to watch CIG burn because of some arm-chair investigation.

You know what? I'm glad of it. Keep up all the good work. The more Derek, nawledge, and whoever post about it in twitter, reddit, etc, the more exposure CIG gets.
