Dude was wrong about Audacity and that barely takes a minute to check and see that, yes, it does have a compressor function. Not sure why anyone would care about MASSIVE WALK-OUTS over a year after MAJOR LEGAL BREAKTHROUGH GUARANTEED RETALIATION and MASSIVE LAYOFFS - THE END IS NIGH

Banning backers? Well, that's a lot more sensible than not understanding acceleration. He just needs to think bigger to rectify a tiny flaw in his thinking, then.

Smirching has already happened with a number of notable failures. It's a rich pool, but generally speaking America is built around 'caveat emptor' rather than messy concepts like trying to stop people doing things which are detrimental to people around them and themselves.

I don't consider it a 'threat to the broader gaming industry' as much as I do an opportunity to watch a badly planned and executed business model crater in a tangle of legal and financial wreckage that just happens to be gaming flavored.

Yeah, Dew and Doritos, good guess.


There was a discussion at the time to 'let it go' after agreeing that he was an iredeemable scumsucking arsehole that deserves every one of those years.

I used to think crowdfunding would be great for gaming. But between star citizen and sota, I personally will never touch another game in the kickstarter, crowdfunding stage. It's just a terrible medium for vidya games. KS is better suited to products where the creator has a functional prototype and just needs capital to start production runs.

Getting people to take on the risk of being an investor while they get none of the end benefits of being one is scummy as hell. Kickstarter should be destroyed.

Some galactic defender you are, Space Cadet.

Indeed! Here’s the question breakout with timestamped hyperlinks.



YOUTUBE: Calling All Devs (with questions broken out.)

1) Rib Reininger: “What is the status of buying ship weapons with alpha UEC?”

2) Matt Sherman: ”What is the status of us being able to either slave turrets to pilot control, use AI turrets to operate them, or hire NPCs to man them?”

Strange interludes and ominous portents. (Well actually it’s just weather-related complications at Foundry UK, with the snowpocalypse preventing many from coming to work on whatever day this was recorded... So Lando can’t get a live answer but he provides what he calls a reader’s theater version and addresses the matter, having presumably exchange info with Tuberfield directly.)

3) Steven Tuberfield: “On the ship matrix it appears the Freelancer DUR lost 62% of the cargo space that it used to have instead of only 25% less cargo than the model previously listed. Why was that?” (Question goes on further with a speculative probing about room for a new ground vehicle...)

Before the next question can be asked, Sean Tracy discusses big rework to the skin shader for the Male Only characters in game.

4) Sean Tracy: ”Will there be underground caves, tunnels or underground cities in Star Citizen?”

5) Benoit Beausejour: ”What is the status of the Star Citizen mobile app that Turbulent is working on and what features are still planned for 2018?”



Once again, I have to say I think CIG did a good thing by adding this show to their rotation. Having written years back “The rapturous reception of Sean Tracy by ‘Reverse the Verse’ viewers is telling you something-- that a straight-talking and informed developer actually talking about the true state of the game is like manna from heaven to a starving people wandering the desert looking for the Promised Land”, I think it’s good that they’ve done something very much in this vein. It’s much better than sporadic “10 for the developers” eps.

“Calling All Devs” doesn’t always provide satisfactory answers. In fact, it has been and likely will continue to be an airlock between two very different biomes — the intoxicating, perfumed airs of The Wonderful World of Star Citizen and the cold, thin, stale atmosphere found in The State of the Game. But the former world was fictive, a product of fever dreams and bloviation, and the latter is something closer to reality. It was overdue.

There’s too many to keep track of! (Although in ancient bygone threads I’d been a big proponent of there being a ongoing debate show between guys like Beer and defenders of the game like the INN sorts, which is sort of a similar notion, therefore I invoke the July Blog exception clause on grounds of ‘called it’ and :smuggo:. But really, I’d just really like to see either version become a thing though it shall never be. The best we will get was the out-of-the-blue Streetroller vs James Brand livestream tussle of 2016...)

The discussion about the low-poly ships is StarFox made me laugh. Yeah, I can see the appeal at this point, Sean.

Also, Bootcha’s latest just became his most viewed in the series. Two days in. It’s a positive thing that some backers are finding it amusing, despite their wiring against criticism, and admitting so “I disliked this video at first then watched it and laughed my rear end off. Well done man. this was a funny video, gotta go buy some ships. Ill never give up on this game.” That’s a great thing to see.
