Interesting. Putting being tied to Cryengine aside, is this the line CIG is likely to take? That they switched to Lumberyard prior to SQ42 being split off, therefore (on the licensing count at least) not guilty? From memory the SQ42 split off happened around Feb 2016. Here, in Dec 2016 around Lumberyard switch time, Crobblers does mention they stopped taking CryEngine builds end of 2015 : https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/364217/lumberyard-for-those-interested

juggalo baby coffin posted:so i figured it was time i did some sort of effortpost given that i've been following this shitshow on and off since it started. this is less a post for true FUD-sippers, and more one as a response to all the people who have said 'well yeah its a scam now, but you guys have been calling it a scam for years, even when it was a legit game'. This is a good post. What really killed Star Citizen was Christ Roberts who lacked the project management skills needed to make it happen.

TheAgent posted:so I guess you gotta hold F now to do anything in your ship, but holding F is also the default "get out of your chair" keybind This reminds me of my very beginnings with computer games on a C64. From time to time, my brother would get a box of floppy disks with pirated games. Usually, we would load the game, and then simply smash both hands flat on the keyboard to find the keys that are actually used to control the game, as back then, every game did it's own thing (3000ad style ). I guess this procedure might be needed with Star Citizen

Whatever happened to Humility, the backer who was literally putting his farm on the line because he kept putting money into SC to feel special?

Kosumo posted:No, you are wrong, at no stage was Star Citizen cool. That's a simplistic view. Star Citizen, despite the early criticism, was "cool" to people who didn't obsessively follow Clown Robbers' previous ventures. Those who were ready to bet 50 to 150 bucks (the latter on par with "game + lots of extras for fans" tiers of other videogame Kickstarters like Project Eternity at the time) on getting a new Wing Commander, Freelancer or some form of EVE with first person dogfighting, they knew or should have known that with crowd funding you risked losing your money while getting nothing (or not what you paid for). That was okay, not every dollar has to be spent on realistic projects and objectively useful things and not many companies were actually making games in space. Roberts had lofty goals and every time he tried to explain technical details you knew he was talking out of his rear end, but he was surrounded by some talented people in Austin and was supported by Crytek and if anything, he didn't have endless resources for once so he'd probably have to cut some of the grand but unrealistic ideas anyway. It's debatable when that period of SC being a somewhat reasonable risk ended and the insanity began, but I'd put it around the time they reached 20 million, the full amount required to finish the Thumb's vision without outside investors, and kept tacking on more features and concept ships on a weekly basis. As I followed the project loosely during its first year I was bewildered how people kept buying overpriced concept art when no gameplay existed, for an MMO part that might never be released as planned, but you could still sorta, kinda hope for Freelancer 2014. I think even Clownshoes Incompetent Games was surprised how many mentally ill people they had managed to tap, who continued to throw money at the project well after they reached "full funding". When people started buying "fleets" for themselves and friends (even in SA threads) and the project leads moved to Hollywood, the project was well on its way to Crazytown. orcane fucked around with this message at 11:38 on Dec 19, 2017 |

I never really cared about what shop did what game, and had no idea who CR even was until a bunch of freelancer fans stirred up dust over some cool new project from the supposed makers of freelancer (which I liked and played a lot back in the day). Thankfully I at least got the refund in time.

Phi230 posted:One thing I noticed in the vid is that: Sorry but it sounds like you just don’t know anything about game development. It’s alpha. Everything is supposed to be completely broken, ill-conceived, and rotten through to the very core during alpha. At some point things will slowly go from bad, to worse, to worst, and then suddenly become great. That’s how game development works.

The 'organized resistance' thing... In this guy's mind, every critic of star citizen is part of an organized campaign of hate. Would he believe that we're all just getting a chuckle out of this mess?

I knew everything about Chris Roberts, Freelancer, his old games etc. I backed for 65$ back in early 2014, thinking that in the end I might get a serviceable space game out of this (been playing said games since Elite/Epic on the Amiga). I got much, much more.
