This is what happens when you outsource big portions of a massive project. This is what happens when all experienced developers with shipped games leave your project. This is what happens when you've been stuck in perpetual crunch mode. This is what happens when you promise, collect pre-orders for said promises, and then begin to try and prototype those promises into existence. This is what happens when you have no firm design docs to guide your project. This is what happens when you put graphics above gameplay. This is what happens when you pick your engine for cinematic feel. This is what happens when you constantly redesign existing assets because they "aren't good enough."

Star Citizen is what happens.

Nothing is funnier than a dog in a formal outfit. Look it up on the internets.
Like a hard FU guys.. less than 24 hours and like 22 new pages.
As I catch up again, 3.0 better have released and it is the second coming of Crobberts or it better be a poo poo show of massive proportions.
We still win either way right? At least according to page 37, section 3, paragraph B of the Goon SC plan.

That being said, I wonder how long it'll take for RSI to release Star Citizen: The Trading Card Game ;o)

Welcome to the thread, friend. :)

Since a card game doesn't require programming talent, probably sooner than anything Star Citizen.

They'll fund the game with card sales and create rules and systems for the game later. Design debt is no big deal for them.

If you didn't watch anything beyond the first few minutes, you didn't witness the depth of everything he didn't know. It really was a completely disastrous showing.

Given what's been posted in here and on reddit I don't doubt it, I was only offering my hot take on the questions as I was listening to them and didn't get far enough in for "the good stuff" yet.

XK posted:

I can see where he might've been coming from, if he only saw the first few minutes. The only thing I really took major issue with was blaming the questions. A studio lead should be able to answer even stupid questions. That just didn't sit right with me.

I do agree that he should be able to answer even dumb questions, I'm just noting that of the questions I saw, some were dumb because they were trying to sneak some "oops I shouldn't have said that" preview about 3.0 content out of this guy (ie, "surely this isn't all there is to 3.0, what secret feature are you hiding"), and others were dumb because "there's literally no way anyone at CIG would answer that question honestly off the cuff" (specifically the "biggest blocker" question). And both of those are dumb because both are saying, from the view of the person asking the question, "I haven't been paying attention to anything that's happened in the last 6 years and only view things through a lens of what I want to be true"-- and again, from the small snippet that I've watched so far:

quote:

lmao at the streamer that hears "this is a small portion of 3.0 that's stable that we're happy with" and parses that as "the internal 3.0 build is entirely stable and everyone's happy with it internally"

It's literally seconds between where Chambers finishes his statement about the state of 3.0 and the streamer leads off a question with his reinterpretation that chambers does nothing to correct. It's like a 20 second microcosm of the last 6 years in one condensed burst, it's great.

But yeah, don't get me wrong, bad questions don't excuse someone giving a poo poo interview, it's just that in my own humble opinion the questions I saw were dumb ones to be asking for various reasons.

I will say that while it was ongoing a copy/paste of a question about "where the hell is the 3.0 content" was apparently posed so I'm looking forward to seeing the "I don't know" answer for that one :allears:

Sure, spheres are super easy. I suspect even the graduate coders at CIG know how to do the basic deform a cube mesh into a sphere mesh which is the basis of a lot of planetary renderers. Its *real* basic 101 level stuff.
I'm sure you could work out how to do it yourself if you sat down with a bit of paper, (hint it's all about treating the points in the mesh as vectors and the correct normalisation of said vectors)

Do you think the "3.0 Daymar slice" they are demonstrating is actually spherical? I'd love for a streamer to test it (trying to get to the terminator into night, two players moving away to see any horizon effects...).


Also, looks like :reddit: is quiet because the shills (Lethality, Blobers) are over here http://massivelyop.com/2017/08/22/star-citizen-brought-part-of-3-0-to-gamescom/ bitching about haters in the comments.

Brian Chambers doesn't know. Scoot around on a barren surface of dirt and rocks, you can't get to space under any circumstances. Your altimeter updates every 45 seconds, maybe. Don't try to sit on a jump seat while the ship is in motion. Ride a Nox and it will roll over. Blasting people in the face with a shotgun works sometimes. Ursa rovers can phase through mountain ranges while floating and upside down. The skybox looks the same even if you run off to the dark side of the moon.
