I just wanted to say the "Estimated Total Progress on Major Features" is just an estimate on the major features. If you tried to put a number on the percent completed for all expectations, it would be less. Probably much less, like 10% or lower.

Yo! The Mafia supports you. But don't tell no one. Spread the word.
THE TRIAL

Good morning, Judge, your honour.
Crytek will plainly show
Chris Roberts who now stands before you
Was caught red-handed selling spaceships.
Selling spaceships of a high-fidelitous nature;
This will not do.

(call the warlord)

I always said I'd totally call it
In my July blog post.
If they'd let me loving finish
I'd have burned it down, the end.
But my hands were tired from all
the tweeting and the blogging.
Roberts got away with millions,
Let me revisit how this all started (not MY choice, but now it's war) back in 2015, when their bullshit refund (bad move) closed my account without my having asked for <...4230 words deleted...>

Spaceships,
Gullible nerds will buy spaceships,
We're going whaling.
We keep pretending we're writing a game.
Spaceships,
gullible nerds will buy spaceships.

(call the wife)

You little poo poo you're in it now,
I hope they throw away the key.
You should have put my name
ahead of Gary O, but no!
You had to take forever,
now they'll never see my A-list acting.
Vic's Mom is beneath my station,
Wait, where'd that scene go?!?

(call the master of ships)

Baaaaaaaaaabe!
Come to Benny, baby, let me hold you
In my arms.
M'lud I only wanted him to
remake Wing Commander.
Why'd he ban me from the building?
Judge, your honor, let me feel his hair.

Spaceships,
Millions of dollars of spaceships,
tanks, bikes and land plots.
We even made a door for the cafe,
which looked like a...
spaceship,
gullible nerds will buy spaceships.

(the judge)

The ownage from this Ortwin guy is
incontrovertible,
there's no need to hear
arguments at all.
In all my years of judging
I have never heard before
a smackdown so amazing
it transcends the rule of law.
The way you rekt the critics,
with your canny analytics,
Fills me with the urge to buy an Idris!

Since, Cry-REKT, you're a bunch of no-good geeks,
I sentence you to watch an episode of Bugsmashers every week!
TEAR DOWN THE CODE!
TEAR DOWN THE CODE!
TEAR DOWN THE CODE!
TEAR DOWN THE CODE!

Fellow kick-started CryEngine game Kingdom Come: Deliverance was released today. It's not as good as backers expected, and it's causing some hilarity as people deal with the reality.

I dunno, Steam seems fairly positive so far. I also watched the intro movie (second one on Steam) and it seemed like the game was fairly well put together.

Another peak example of why I hate Star Citizen fans.

Regarding the beautiful forests in Kingdom Come Deliverance:


They did the same with the Nemesis system from Mordor. Chris Roberts says "Oh we'll have that but it'll be even better" without any concept or thought into what it involves or the amount of work the programmers and designers went in to making it and balancing it...No, just a simple thing for the fans to go "Oh we'll have this as well!".

Bugs are ok if the dev honestly recognizes and manages the consequences of them. Big single player games will never be bug free because they don't have to be.


Consider the case: Your ship glitches into the ground and explodes.


Kerbal Space Program: I reload a quicksave I made 30 seconds earlier. If it happens again, I feel justified using a cheat to complete the mission.

Fallout 4: The ship is stuck under the ground and you can no longer complete the quest. You reload a quicksave and try again. If the quest still breaks, you shrug and play one of the other 1000 quests in the game. If the quest reward was good, you equip it with a console command.

Star Citizen: Your ship is gone and cannot be respawned for some time. Your cargo is gone and not refunded. You lost items that you bought with real money. You die and wake up in the wankpod room. The door is bugged and won't open. You relog and try again, after going to the RSI website to buy another ship to circumvent the insurance timer. Next time you visit the planet, you make sure to park your ship hovering upside-down to avoid the bug. It will take hours or days to recoup the resources lost.

Eve Online: The ship collision system is ultra-simple, and you can't land on planets at all (Can you? I don't play). The devs accept that bugs in a persistent multiplayer game are cancer so they wisely avoid them in the design.

This, unsarcastically. I'd like to see someone tackle an LP of that anyway. I'd never actually seen any of how it was played, so I looked up the most "newbie friendly" FAQ which weighed in at like 400k of text. Reading through that made me want to go relax and enjoy some much more accessible forms of entertainment like X3: Albion Prelude. Or Dwarf Fortress. Or attending law school at Harvard.

Upon looking it up, I realized I'd forgotten that the whole "wildly over-ambitious developer tries to make the perfect space game / development cycle that a kangaroo could be born and die of old age within / years of hype for non-existant product / flight model gets developed late in the dev cycle (and is largely incompatible with the rest of the game) / unplayably buggy and feature-bereft demos and early releases / litigation and strife with basically every party involved / 7-year-long internet flamewars" thing has all happened before.
I mean, I knew it intellectually (goons cut their teeth making fun of game dev calamities) but it didn't really sink in until now.

But the fact that there's a BC3K to LP speaks volumes. What those volumes say, I don't know. But it's probably a lot. Especially if Derek wrote them. :classiclol:

As hilarious as it would be for this to go up in flames, it will be even more amusing when the poo poo game is released and backers are grudging their way through horrible mechanics, only to have a swarm of goons come blow up their ship and capture them and keep them in a cage for days of real time (lol thats how they want that to work right?)

I mean we could even start griefing the poo poo out of them now by You must have a Platinum Account to view this message. but it would take some serious masochism to even want to download and suffer through that to farm some tears.

Ah yeah, fun times.

That was back when publishers would make poo poo up out of whole cloth; then feed it to the media who willingly printed it. It wasn't until years later in 2001 that they bothered to clarify/retract that bullshit.

Of course Ryan Brant (then creator/CEO of TT), who rushed the game to market because TT needed the revenue as they were going public (unknown to us at the time), went on to become a convicted felon.

To be fair to Derek, that might have been true. I can totally see him having to spend a year working on the manual. At least 20 pages will be about how to open the main menu.

It's false. And the manual was about 120 pages. They shipped a butchered version that was under 30 pages because they didn't want to freak gamers out. This despite the fact that the game was already billed as a hardcore simulation.

It's currently on Steam for $9.99 and I am currently working on updating it through DLC purchased separately. The LP stream above is from TLC (see below). I played for 6hrs straight. No bugs. No crashes. No performance issues. And I didn't even get to cover 50% of the game's features.
