When they finally reach alpha 4.0 in 2023 I'm going to buy in just so I can sneak into peoples ships, rearrange all their boxes, and sneak off again.

Pretty sure he works the food truck that stops by the Galleria... Count 51 people, but didn't Chris Smith move to LA in 2015? And where is Tony Z?

I wonder how many times they will test that latch before the dramatic reveal to make sure that it doesn't launch into the audience, glitch through a wall, and morph into a mecha-spider on the street outside.

Hopefully, zero.

I hope that the 3.1 demo they’ve been working on for over 2 years really impresses everybody. It may not be playable outside of trained employees, or represent anything like the actual game, but that’s ok. :)

Funny you mention it because I first thought it was a picture from homeworld too. It’s kind of uncanny.

But you know the old saying, one persons IP is only better after Chris Roberts calls it his own original idea. Doesn’t matter how well known it is or how long it’s been associated your IP.

Thank you all for kind words and helpful feedback. I’d been meaning to update this for Gamescom but I’m rather glad I waited. As I was updating it, I found myself just struck anew by the absurdity of it all. Burndown itself — a weekly show dedicated to making excuses and pleading for patience as they engage in the seemingly insurmountable task of releasing a massively downsized, egregiously delayed Alpha patch (er pre-Alpha really but whatever) — it’s a lunacy of truly staggering proportions. However blase it seems in the continuum, however much the zealots feign its normalcy.

It’s just next level ludicrousness and I hope the chart is at least somewhat effective in distilling it, in empiricizing the farce that is this game’s production.

You did good! This is really great. :)

I hope it makes the rounds again to various news sites.

I would love to see these cash statements. I would not be surprised to see deposits at the end of the FY to bump up reserves followed immediately by withdrawals after.

EDIT: Where are the management wages figures coming from?

Someone over at FDev already chimed in

quote:

So by some standards I obviously don't understand accounting, but on Page 5 (Profit and Loss) for the year to 31 Dec 2015, somehow a Gross (Loss) of (£339,098) has Administrative Expenses added to it of £604,397 to make a Profit before Taxation of £265,299? I may have been out of the trade for a few decades, but since when have Administrative Expenses become income and not a further negative sum increasing the loss? i.e. shouldn't (£339,098) be increased by (£604,397) to make a Loss Before Taxation of (£943,495)? Which would then mean the balance sheet on the subsequent pages doesn't (balance) and the accounts for 2016 then don't make sense as the retained profit/(loss) isn't reflected properly in the 2016 opening position.

Apparently these accounts have been audited...

Oh we are only in the pre-sale of the citizencon sale.

We are still a month away from the Anniversary sale too.

And after that is the Holiday sale.

If they can somehow pull like $1,000,000 in six hours with a picture of a ship that exists the least out of anything they have ever sold, at this point in development, whales are probably going to slide them into 2018 with another $4,000,000 - $5,000,000
