The Titanic posted:I’m fairly sure we’re approaching the “buy your land on this planet!” And house building or apartment rentals on planet(s?) to cash in on the lingering money there. This. Once people start to get bored of ships ( or they run out of "exciting" jpegs they could think of ), they'll shift towards other things they can sell. Housing is the next logical step.

TheAgent posted:also a p good post Thanks, I haven't made one in a long loving time... In all seriousness I'd love to hear MoMA's take on everything right now, or any backer for that matter. I wish they'd come post. Backers are leaving and getting refunds, staff are leaving and CIG can't fill the vacancies, the funding is going down - there's no other way to say it or interpret it, it's clear and straightforward. You can draw a straight line through everything CIG have produced and said and failed at over the last 2 years to arrive at this point. It was inevitable and predictable and here it is right now. No surprise, no drama. Just another failed kickstarter that very few people outside of a shrinking subreddit give any fucks about. That senior marketing role not being filled says a lot about Sandi, and the way the job description is written says even more about her. That's another job you wouldn't be able to do because of the incompetence and inexperience directly above you.

SomethingJones posted:They've cranked up the client number which tells me they have scrapped the plan to rebuild the networking - because it worked, look, there's 32 players in Olisar so clearly we don't need to rebuild it. Next thing is a network guy leaves. Hmmm. Well per Reddit it's "mission accomplished". Network guy made 32 guys play seamlessly, with no lag, in high fidelity, at an industry staggering 25 fps (higher fps than any big budget movie currently out). There is nothing left for him to do, he's just dead weight at this point. Why keep him on the payroll? Croberts just pushed him out: "thanks for all your work but you're not needed anymore". Now they can simply move into the polishing stage. In summary, I don't think you understanding network development.

I never thought I would be glad that I spent the early 90's poking holes in the ocean without access to computers. Missing out on the rise of Chris Roberts makes it a little more worth it. Because he is not very good at what he is 'famous' for.

I've been busy and so checking in here less often. Somewhere in October around CitCon I fell hopelessly behind on the thread. I tried to just keep reading along because it turns out that the thread is equally entertaining when it's weeks old as when it's fresh because it turns out that SC is unmoored in time and nothing ever changes even though things might seem to be perturbed here and there. But ya'll have been posting nonstop and despite my best efforts, the unread count has only grown as I tried to keep up. So I declared bankruptcy on 6400 posts and am back with you here in the present ready for all the freshest SC memes. in conclusion: MOONS

Those are the PC games my friends were going insane over. Doom had every boy with a PC going nuts. The one kid would tell stories about deathmatches at his dad's work, we'd all go mental. He worked in a big hospital and we were all hyped as poo poo about the idea of LANing. Wing Commander was "good".

You can literally feel the frustration this person is trying hard to stave off to try to be as moderate and fair and professional as they can be. If real, the frustration is prevalent. This is a difficult position for a tech company to recover from without huge reorganizations starting at the top. This is where a board would step in and get a new CEO, etc. Good thing there’s no board or oversight committee to stop the train.

Spiderdrake posted:I mean I played Wing Commander and I had friends who played Wing Commander and I do not remember anyone being all that crazy about it. The first game I recall that promised a realistic experience was 688 Attack Sub. I will say that it lived up to its promise - it was realistic (to the extent possible due to classification restrictions). Time-consuming and realistically difficult, punctuated with brief moments of excitement. That's when I decided that 'realism' is not something that I wanted in a game. Which is why I can't understand why star citizen fans have such a hard-on for it.

Looks great, can't wait to buy into Star Citizen again. The gameloop is ridiculously broken. There are way too many loopholes, because SC is FPS primarily. Whats stopping another player from taking out your rear end or jumpin in your ship's toilet waiting to grief the poo poo out of you, when you simply need to take a piss. Players would have to turn off the ship -> open door -> close door to bridge / lock it -> open cargo bay -> close cargo bay / lock -> check perimeter -> open cargo bay -> take stuff -> get griefed. This is going to be glorious if it ever releases.

Hey you Star Citizen reading this thread. Get a refund. Otherwise, you'd find goons hidden in your space toilets, everytime you land, or graffiti in your constellations. We'll be stealing your torpedos and missiles. Don't want a refund? Better request CIG to develop some kind of ship security feature (eta 2 weeks), like in ship turrets and DNA scanners. You'll never know where we are and what we're capable of. Also, get a refund.

Hello space friends, just checking in to let you know that there are quite a few Black Friday game sales going on early. Be sure to swing by GamersGate, Humble Bundle and probably GOG. Not sure what space games are on sale, but I know there's at least a few good deals at GG right now.
