Was just wrapping up at work and put one of the streamers on in the background who was watching Calling All Devs (CaD) He didnt even wait for it to end to declare, 'well that was non-informational' They know they're being bullshitted and they don't seem to care. I heard more about some 300j jpeg than anything planned for 2018, it was all just bumbling rambling nonsense.

Reminder in the time that CIG will push out Mining 0.0 Elite would have mining operational for like 4 years and would already have overhauled it partially once with a few months to go before they do a bigger overhaul. Oddly enough Elite announced that they were going into a time based quarterly patch schedule last year after being in a rut for a while except their first patch has actual content in it and not bug fixing poo poo that should have been part of their previous patch. Also its going into open beta in like 10 days.

I'm jealous of CIG's ability to release a technical video bringing the word straight from the mouth of the devs that's designed to communicate absolutely nothing technical but instead reassure backers that there are human beings who are super interested in the same things they're interested in and having the same discussions they're having. They're able to pass off fan speculation videos as community engagement.

Q: Dear Rockstar Will We Horse? A: Wow yeah uh.... that's uh.... you know *all laugh* a great question I.... mean just a great question it's one we've.... uh, yeah.... ah, we've.... ah ha had a lot around the office and at tables and in... just this very room recently so I guess you could say that we were horsing around but it's *all laugh* a topic we take very seriously but yeah it's a very important, ah, you see it's a TOPIC.... that's really in keeping with the core, as in to say how is SPACE defined and how.... does.... we or... the player move through it and what does that space mean to a HORSE? It's hard, ah, to factor in TWO MINDSETS when contemplating the shape of space, uh... well... you see when you equip a saddle.... two or three materials, ah.... so you need, art departments, who.... are just down the hall from us, and... they're really engaged with the community as well and there's lore to keep in mind. So... Uh.... equipping your horse, which we plan to really add a lot to uh... with respect to customization to, ah... really let players, uh, ah... decide how we're going to proceed because they're, ah... really the most important.

I sort of wonder if they were hoping enough people would hear about STAR CITIZEN 3.0 and not go looking, try and figure out how to play. pay $80 or something, and get hot poo poo. like what's the minimum from zero to actually play 3.0? a preorder and some subscription? like $120?

SomethingJones posted:Just to clarify - Dave got that number from Tony Z So if 1.9 million of the largest land claims fit on a single planet (which, incidentally, would represent $190 million of revenue, or more than CIG's entire claimed funding total to date): 1.9 million land claims at 64 km^2 (8 km x 8 km) comes out to at least a 3110 km planetary radius, assuming no packing losses from trying to fit plots onto a sphere -- maybe they can be arbitrarily shaped so that they'll all fit in, as long as they have the stated total area. I guess I am also assuming that land claims are not instanced, so that it is impossible to have multiple claims in the same physical location. For comparison, Reddit says the following about current moon sizes in 3.0: Reddit posted:In game (PTU 3.0). Delamar has a 75km radius, Daymar has radius of 295km, Cellin has a radius of 260km and Yella has a radius of 313km. Diameter = 2r, Surface area = 4(PI)r2. You can verify this using the altitude gauge and the moons map marker at the center of the moon. These compared to Jupiters moons (Io-Daymar, Ganymede-Cellin, Europa-Yella) and (Asteroid Ceres-Delamar) are between 1/10th to 1/5th smaller in radius. So CIG are promising planets that are 10-40 times the diameter of the current moons, or 100-1600 times the surface area. And here I thought the current moons already looked barren...

The land-grab stuff makes it easier for them because they can put less on a planet or moon and have players fill the rest with "emergent gameplay" from claim staking and so forth. Or they would if there was actual moons and planets rendered in their entirety, implemented mechanics, or an actual game.

Still you have done proper justice to the absolute word salad that these poor fucks were coming up with, good job! Worth it mate, worth it Can I just say for the thread, on the record, that transcribing the jibber-blabber that spews forth from Matt Sherman's flapping blapping mouth is worse than anything I've done for Chris Roberts by a factor of approximately 10^64 This is your tech designer for your $200 million crowdfunded game who cannot construct or communicate a single coherent idea, sentence, answer or description FOR THE BACKERS, on video, in his work environment. What a loving absolute shitshow and a complete embarassment and a total scam this whole thing is.

SomethingJones posted:Calling All Devs That this was the first question on an entirely new show ostensibly about getting the community’s pressing unanswered questions addressed by the development staff says so drat much and none of it good. I’m surprised Haddock didn’t know the Stanton planet & moon count, nor seemingly did Lando. 4 Planets, 12 Moons. Please consult my 3.0 infographic for details, guys. And how interesting that “100 Systems” were cited as the long term target. Why remind people that the journey of a thousand miles that got decimated to 100 at best is in fact still so very very very much longer? — quote:Q: It’s year 6 Matt and so far you’re still at 1/4th of 1 Star System and it performs miserably by design.  — quote:Q: Interesting to see this self-deprecation. Minor though it is, CIG workers typically doesn’t speak critically of their systemic failings. Delays when they are acknowledged almost always get a Miyamoto “rushed game” byte or some other special pleading about the difficulties of doing that which has never been done before,. Sometimes, schedules slip but its for the best. — quote:Todd Papy: I like Papy. He may be the most sober-voiced realist at the Director level of CIG and that he was promoted to Director of the Star Citizen’s Live Build is highly interesting, as is the fact that Lando didn’t know. A more honest title would probably be The Director of Bad Tidings, as SJ’s transcript already suggests. What a misery to have to face a mountain of technical debts daily and decide which pieces you’ll carry away today so it gets just a wee bit smaller. But they don’t need a dreamer in this roll; a dreamer built the mountain that the pragmatists must now start clearing, one miserable rock at a time. Forgive me briefly if I use the Papy moment to drop another excerpt from an older, unfinished absolute monster of an Effort Post into the thread, but Papy’s place in it gives me the occasion. The longer piece is one that I am especially fond of, an extremely detailed analysis of Organizational Culture and Dysfunction at Cloud Imperium. (Forgive the abruptness of the open, I’m leaving out the preceding section as it’s too long and still rough in parts.) quote:...The disruptive chaos of Chris Roberts imperiousness and impulsiveness is localized -- like a tornado. The oppressive intimidation caused by his nepotistic caste system is diffuse. It may seem a small thing, an employee stating on-the-record his discomfort with the boss’s unhinged compulsion to monetize overpromising, yet within so dysfunctional a workplace as CIG, it seems to me almost heroic. Far easier and more commonplace are the Lesnicks, Hermans, Tracys, Landos, Forrests and more who rubber-stamp Chris’s fever dream$ with nary a second thought like the faithful servants they are of Roberts corruptions and compulsions. — quote:Q: “From the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh...” His enthusiasm for yet more ship redesigns is a about damning indictment of Cloud Imperium’s game dev priorities as one gets from a CIG sanctioned communication. Lord knows how much money and time have been spent over the years in redesigns of pre-Alpha assets yet rather than be troubled by the inefficiencies of their dysfunctional practices, they’re excited. Also, Eric Davis’s new title came as a surprise to me. Director of the LA Studio? If he wasn’t a member of the Brahmin class before, he presumably is now. It I recall correctly there was a time when his title was Supervising Producer of Squadron 42,or something, and that during a time when hardly any work was being conducted or even spoken of for/about SQ42.

It's still amusing to me how it seems like they always get caught by surprise by their pre-selected questions on their pre-recorded show. Guys, at least read the questions a few minutes before the filming starts to that you can lie more comfortably. No need to be like a figurative deer in the headlights.

The subtext of Lando’s interactions with his guests was interesting. He seemed half-surprised he was being obliged. His single most substantive question was the one he blurted out off the top of his head when Papy, not Bender, answered the Skype call. Lando didn’t know Bender was gone and didn’t know Papy had a new title. Haddock didn’t know how many moons were in the only system that is playable, and he may have been author of their respective lore. I enjoyed watching it though, and felt like I learned some things about CIG I didn’t know.

It all makes sense if it's viewed through the perspective of selling the idea of people talking to one another rather than the content of their conversation. I mean not all of it we're still in loopy land but it makes a little more sense.
