Don't worry about kitty, cats generally have non-letal terminal velocity. In fact, the most dangerous height for a cat to fall from is around 7 storeys, that's where it's moving fast enough to be in trouble but hasn't had time to flip onto it's front, relax and get ready to land. That cat would be more at risk from the traffic than the fall itself EDIT: Cattefall taxxe

Yeah, it's not actually a game in the traditional sense of the word. It reminds me of the early days if Kerbal Space Program, where they had a pile of rocket parts, a physics engine and naught else. It's a toy, you smash things together and make zoom-zoom noises as you shoot your spaceman into the sky. But, at the least it works. It performs that aspect without breaking into a dozen choking hazards if you look at it for longer than a millisecond. If people want a digital whirligig then that's a matter of taste. And on that front E:D has that much going for it, in that whatever its faults it is functional for the things people keep pretending SC does. It's a point people keep making, but of course the cultists can't abide that basic fact.

But the outcome of either being "I was stranded and couldn't do anything" is still pretty lovely

SoftNum posted:I would argue that "I made a bad play and game rules punished me" is different from "the game is buggy and didn't allow me to play by the rules." Granted, but I'm just saying that saying "Instead of using non-RP gameplay mechanics to get back into a playable state, I did a bunch of other stuff that nobody in their right mind would ever choose to do instead for shits and giggles" doesn't (necessarily) make for good gameplay. It's literally the same thing as Chris and his movie-vision stuff-- it can make for a good story, but the fact that you can write a story with a game as the medium is more a comment on you as a writer than the game as...well, a game.

While premature optimisation being a thing is true (especially for junior coders), at the same time if you can you should keep an eye on performance at all times, and optimise where possible at all stages of a project. Some optimisations need to be done early, as the structure of your code can matter in this regard.

Thing is that space / sci-fi is a great setting for a game. Just like high fantasy, grimdark, cyberpunk, many historical periods, etc. Not all settings work equally well for all genres. Space Opera is great for 4X, difficult for Grand Strategy, and Stellaris does a pretty darn good job at being what it is, imo, by using 4X elements to address aspects where it is a difficult setting for Grand Strategy. Your mileage may vary. But for me that's one of the main reasons I enjoy it, and I have difficulty getting hooked by Space Opera 4X in general. Star Citizen is a weird setting which is a little bit Space Opera and very much "WW2-sci-fi". That is great for a story-based dogfighting game that doesn't care about physics and realism, but is about cool pewpews and hammy cinematics. But it's a terrible setting for a sandbox game, a decent one for a PvP game and a difficult choice for an PvE MMO. Star Citizen wants to be all of these and it absolutely doesn't work. Even if we disregard all the issues on the technical side, the choice of setting and game doesn't work. A PvE MMO needs a theme park and content-recyling mechanics. A PvP game needs a strong meta-game based on factions, rankings and/or player communities. Sandboxes need a mechanics supporting exploration, player-constructed content and emergent gameplay. It's really difficult to make a space MMO that isn't total garbage, and it's probably going to be niché if it works. Like Eve and ED. I think that's why so many backers pin their hopes on subsumption being SkyNet, procedural content somehow not being repetitive and "pipelines". Because what they want isn't actually possible with current technology. They want West World or the Holo Deck. But procedural content gives you NMS, Dwarf Fortress and ED. Current AI technology gives you uh... DOTA bots? Black & White AI was overhyped. Radiant AI was overhyped. "Pipelines" give you the amount of content in AAA games. Attempting accurate simulation of physics at an object-level in a space MMO as anything but fancy local VFX gives you either Glitchy Lag Simulator or Go-Broke-In-The-Cloud Simulator. Seeing the constant chants of "you don't understand game development" irks me to no end, because backing the Star Citizen project is based on fundamentally not understanding what is technologically possible, let alone what is possible with fricking CryEngine/LumberYard (which can be used to make awesome games, but not to secure the Turing Award) - because where Molyneux used dreams as a marketing tool, the open development of Star Citizen leaves no doubts about CIG constantly trying to do what the technical foundations absolutely do not support. This isn't about alpha or development cycles. The problem isn't the glitches, bugs, or missing content. That's just development hell, and good games can emerge from that. The problem is the stupid idea that there is some magic technology underneath it all, and that's going to save the day. And that's where CIG should be honest and squash those insane expectations. But I guess that would kill the project faster than any space court. TL;DR: Space games aren't bad. Space games relying on non-existent technology to succeed despite not having a functioning game design are bad.

It's a toy, you smash things together and make zoom-zoom noises as you shoot your spaceman into the sky. They're terrible for different reasons. Elite is an extremely well-crafted depression simulator. Star Citizen is trying to present itself as a well-crafted depression simulator, and using that impression to scam idiots. Therefore, Star Citizen is much more terrible. But just because Elite is better, doesn't mean it's good.

'Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance' doesn't have a lot of Zen or motorcycle maintenance, but it does make you think about some very basic things that we take for granted. I'm playing a lot of Diablo III at the moment. It's also not a great game, but I keep pressing the lever for Blackthorne's loving trousers.
