They only bought them earlier because you're as much of a dreams peddler as CR, which is why you hate him so much — you're jealous of his crowdfunding success and wish you had thought of it. What's sad is that, no, nobody would be backing you if the roles were reversed. People can at least truthfully say they had fun playing Wing Commander and Freelancer. Nobody has ever said that about anything you've ever created.

like derek we already had a conversation about our old conversation earlier this year cuz I was allTheAgent posted:derek gonna derek, he's been that way since I argued that overloading players with obtuse mechanics was stupid and he told me my IQ was subnormal and unfit for PC gaming (seriously) D_Smart posted:wait! wot!? I don't remember that. I would normally remember that. TheAgent posted:it was about 20 years ago, I doubt you remember everyone you sparred with across message boards I'm sorry you still, after all this time, can't take simple criticisms of your games or ideas. I'm happy that you've found a niche and that some people enjoy your games, I find them very, very hard to get into or play that's just my opinion, you can continue telling me to gently caress off

Just imagine, if SC is released and Chris is a goon, we'll be having these kinds of tedious space game discussions, only without all the sidetracking on ways to run a business, efficient file storage, effective game development, furniture prices, secret stash of pictures of newswoman, liveposting of awkward presentations, thousands of delusional Redditor posts, lazy tracings, constant reminders to call your old relatives, a partridge in a pear tree, hilarious space court memes, glitch logs, graphs of money, and fetishistic art. Thank god SC is never released.

If Derek wants to claim to be a Goon, he has to face the crucible, just like all of us, at the drop of a hat, whenever any weakness or fault is spotted. It's always fun times.

TheAgent posted:like derek we already had a conversation about our old conversation earlier this year cuz I was all As you can see, my comment regarding your historical mental gymnastics, remains consistent. And since reading comprehension is a skill that takes some time to learn and master, here, let me repost what I stated, so you can show me where I told you to "gently caress off". I'll wait. quote:My position has always been the same because that's usually what happens when you believe in something. And since I have kept making the games EXACTLY how I want to make them, and those who keep buying them don't seem to mind either way, everything else is noise, and largely irrelevant. I didn't set out to make games to appeal to the masses. I make them for a specific niche audience who don't complain about it. Everyone else can gently caress right off.

Derek will own himself a few more times, he'll put a bunch of people on ignore then still read their posts, CIG will gently caress up something minor and more ELE predictions will be made, and the cycle will repeat. Come back about a week before Citcon.

D_Smart posted:You're the one making the point, so the onus is on you, not me. So you can't actually find any, because you're so wrong it hurts. Figures. http://bfy.tw/EEWh D_Smart posted:Actually no, it's not. That's why you can remap such keys. Convention being the DEFAULT of what it's set to, not "this is what it always will be, even if the player decides to change it". WASD is a convention. It doesn't mean the player can't rebind their movement keys to something else, but it stands to reason that someone playing a game is going to try to use WASD for movement if using the keyboard unless another control scheme is explicitly presented to them. No, this doesn't include them having to read your loving manual, Derek. The 1990's were almost two decades ago. It's so common it's also a percieved affordance, Derek. Another loving basic tenet of modern game design. This thread is full of people telling you that a person playing a PC game has an expectation that when they hit ESC, most commonly any of three things will happen: 1. It will move "backwards" through a menu selection / close a dialogue box(es) 2. It will pause the game 3. It will bring up a main menu allowing the user to quit, or instructing them on how to do so. Funnily enough, it's also what a basic Google search will tell you. Don't worry, I provided one earlier. I wonder why that is. I wonder why no other game uses the ESC key to bring up squad commands. It's like taking the 3.5" floppy icon and saying "no that doesn't save in ~~my application~~, it actually brings up the help menu, maybe you should have read the manual instead of calling my software an unusable piece of poo poo" You are a terrible UX / UI designer, Derek. Just own it. D_Smart posted:Ah yes, the significant of a man caught on the rear end-end of a losing argument is to resort to personal attacks. loving lol that you resort to "ad hominem! ad hominem!" when every second word that comes out of your mouth is "Shitizens", "Retards" or "rear end-clowns". You are a poster child for dunning-Kruger.

I've always disliked complicated control schemes when they could be simplified down. like a good rule is if a real life space shuttle has more intuitive controls than your game, maybe you need to rethink the controls I have an old copy of BC3000 and have bought several derek smart games for people here (and myself). I don't really like them, but maybe, as derek said, they are more for the high level sim crowd than the more casual dude like myself (although I can tell you BC3000 was not marketed as a sim game. I'm sure that was more on the publisher than on derek, however) whatever else derek is posting about, I got no idea

Arguing with Derek about game design isn't worth it because he designs them for himself, even if they're for sale. It's the templeos of games.

D_Smart posted:Never happened. Nice try. Only because official Steam admins had to step in and unban them doesn't mean it never happened, Derek. Someone said LoD needs a FOV slider, you said you don't care about a FOV slider. More people jumped on the "we need a FOV slider"-opinion, you closed the topic. The guy asking the question opened another thread with exactly the same question, asking why it the original question was simply closed. You said implementing a FOV slider is too hard, and the discussion got heated. You banned him, people got angry. Steam mods stepped in and unbanned him. Days or weeks later (can't remember actually) you acknowledged that a FOV slider is a good thing. Derek, you might be the ultimate warlord of ze internets, but at least stick to the truth and to what you do. Or do you hit the ban-button so often that you can't remember each incident? And no, it was not me asking that question, I was just an amused bystander looking at it for lols, as the Gamestar-guy you hate (who is a dick, to be honest) posted exactly this example all over the internet to show how you treat criticism of an early alpha. Just stick to what you did, it won't change how goons perceive you (lol) Or boost some signals or poo poo

Actually I am sitting here now, shivering, that he will post soon that I am on his ingore list NOW, and my whole existence is thus flawed. Actually actually I'm hoping for another Derek meltdown, but I think he isn't in quite the correct mood today. Not enough steam in him.

Derek if you knew anything about game development you'd have a store for selling other people's mods by now, and you'd be taking pre-orders for the sequel, the special edition of the sequel and the goty special edition sequel prequel with bonus unique in game item. You can get away with microtransactions but only if your game keeps a solid 60fps everywhere at all times.
