Beyond the Cutting Edge Presentation Summary

- More seats filled this time.
- Brian still looks/sounds like a broken shell of a man.
- They showed one snapshot, then showed how each graphical effect was layered in.
- They then went on to explain how they added each individual graphical effect, one by one.
- How texturing works 101.
- Discord: "this is literally just how a video card works".
- Mipmapping! Bloom! It's like a journey into the graphics card development!
- All the graphical updates they added to 3.0 (basically the slide says what is in the schedule update).
- Very brief mention of networking updates (no details) before quickly moving on to day/night cycles.
- "Look at all the shiny effects we've added!"
- Short-term plans: literally all the stuff they mentioned in their schedule.
- They plan on using multithreading in the future.
- Long-term plans: again, basically what they say in the schedule.

Q&A highlights:
- Backers: "No question, but thank you for your work!"
- Q: "With Render To Texture, is it possible to have a second bridge?" A: "Depends what you mean by possible"
- Q: "Can you make mirrors that aren't fake?"


- This was seriously painful to watch/summarise, so I've probably missed a fair bit here.

This bullshit is infinitely easier and more profitable than making games, so why would anyone make an actual game after this?

drat. Well thanks for the correction. Since they are selling SSDs with this Optane brand Intel tech, I figured that was what SSDO stood for.

Was the mirrors question a troll? I though one of TheAgent's leaks was crobblers having a meltdown when he learned that mirrors in games aren't done with a raytrace.

The audience and Chris himself haven't played any games since the late 1990s. This is mind shattering to them. They spent like 15mins on anti-aliasing.

There are currently no trading mechanics, no piracy mechanics (unless you count glitching through the cockpit glass to steal a sperg chariot) and no mercenary mechanics. There's also no galaxy.


There are like two space stations and not even one complete star system. If it's not a galaxy it can't be a universe either.


This is clearly bollocks. Star citizen is not that detailed and there are many other more complex games out there.


There are no careers, no role playing beyond your own imagination and with a max of 24 players it's not massive in any way.

Literally 100% lies.

Presentation summary:

This is how you mix paint with different tints to deliver customized wavelengths to your optical receivers.

Let us tell you about volatility and atmospheric effects on evaporation and residual deposition of mineral components on canvas or other surfaces.

Next up:

The really fun part - watching it dry.



(um no, we haven't decided what we are actually going to paint yet), but you should use INTEL brushes for optimal outcome.
