TheAgent posted:the evocati leaks are going to be absolutely brutal They've already pre-empted this by getting the devs on camera, look at their little faces, how do you feel about refunding directly from these guys pockets. People see Chris and think of him in a big Italian yacht, gently caress that guy, gimme my money back. But here's poor little Ben Parry and his co workers who look like they haven't slept in two weeks, let's throw another wodge of dollahs in I feel so bad for them. Nobody gives a gently caress how terrible the game is, not evocati, not backers and certainly not CIG devs. This entire project is about taking on the games industry and proving Derek Smart wrong on the internet. That's what backers are paying for, they don't give two shits if it even works. Anyone expecting to build or to receive a functioning game is long gone. As long as the endeavour and the promises remain huge and impossible the funding will roll in. Kickstarters fail with realistic and conservative promises, the bigger the dream, the bigger the lie, the larger the funding. This is how it has always been.

Now that would be something.

Thank you whoever posted the airhorn chrome extension. Tophat? I can't find the post. I press it at least six times in the weekly "what is everyone doing?" meeting. Foo Diddley posted:The Star Citizen community: A pleasant and healthy place to hang out

BloodyScab posted:aspca. Only you can help this hungry and abused game dev. As ridiculous as it may sound, that video with the leads (and Ben Parry) sitting in a meeting room amidst the stories of refunds dominating the Star Citizen narrative carries a subtle message of 'please don't bail on these guys' They appear as wilfully naive corporate dick suckers to me and they can all gently caress off.

Erin is the whip cracker. Derek is the evil villain. Can nobody see this is all just marketing to sell spaceships, that's all it is, walk away, it's all holywood bullshit

Toops posted:3.0, what a loving joke. It's already a failure whether they release with one moon or three. Where is any semblance of a loving game? Remember that? The VIDEO GAME!! Where's some early iteration of an economy? How about trading, mining, salvage, repair, rescue, research, transport, exploration, fuel scooping, planetary missions that aren't just "go here and collect 10 bear asses..." Where are the Vanduul, the other alien races, and what role do they play in the universe other than hovering around a point of interest waiting to be shot? How do you get missions other than Jimmy 3-Coats? Are missions part of a cohesive narrative? Are they co-op? Can you form groups and share quests? Is there reputation? Fines? How about insurance beyond a high-pressure loving sales tacic?? Is anyone thinking about this poo poo, let alone prototyping it or, god forbid, MAKING it??? Even if 20 people can meet in-universe, and there was a place they could fly, why would they bother? What would they DO?? Stuff a loving vending machine into a spaceship? Who gives a good god drat about the scope of pre-alpha level design when there is literally NO REASON to get into your ship and fly anywhere. CIG needs to give up. Just give the gently caress up and get outta here. Scruffpuff posted:It never ceases to amaze me how incredibly transparent the CIG narrative is, yet I have to give grudging admiration to how effective it's been. Perhaps not to CIG's credit per se as much as an indication of the crippling lack of intelligence on the part of their fans. The obsession with version number over actual features and gameplay was a big motivation for setting up https://starcitizentracker.github.io/ Why citizens continue to deceive themselves with the promise of "3.0!" over an actual feature like mining or trade is impossible for me to grasp. The only thing they seem to agree 3.0 will have is seamless planetary landings; which surprisingly didn't cause any alarm bells for backers when the "pre-3.0" demo'd to players on the floor of Gamescom intentionally disabled the ability to exit the level into space.

Fil5000 posted:Noted lovely cash grab Witcher 3 with it's three year development time, circa 50 hours of gameplay and two big expansions. Noted game that does nothing right Titanfall 2 with some of the best movement mechanics in an FPS and one of the most fun single player campaigns I've played in years. From a page back but who the hell managed to finish Witcher 3 in 50 hours? I got 59% of the achievements in 140 hours, counting the expansions.

reverend crabhands posted:I don't get it, what happened? One way to make 3D prints easily removable from the printing surface is to print it on scotch tape. It also adheres better. You learn that very quick, for example with training. A better way for PLA imo is using a glue stick which is normally even supplied with the 3D printer (if it has a glass bed as print surface). Depending on the print and how well the bed is levelled, it can easily lead to the print beeing not removable, so you have to stick it into the fridge or use cold water...or print directly on tape. If the bed is not leveled correctly or you grossly misconfigure the print settings, the printhead might smash into the print, which might cause motor failure, allthough I never experienced that. tl;dr: 3D printers need some level of training to operate them well, the guys choose not to get trained and ruined the print, and called IT to help.
