Its pretty obvious how half-baked these designs are. He says you'd care about permadeath because you become attached to your character's appearance, and then immediately contradicts himself by saying you can just make another character that looks the same.

Then when they get into the details of respawning its like "yeah we haven't gotten to that part yet..."

Game design comes last after graphics.

It will be more deadly than CoD, but also somehow pointless.

Your purchased ships can be permanently lost if there is no insurance or LTI on them, but also the insurance mechanic is unknown. Also I'd want to be the customer service rep taking calls from angry nerds who spent thousands and lost it in a buggy landing or glitch.

Also LTI is very important if it's currently attached to a ship during a sale, but it's also not that big a deal if it's not attached to a ship during a sale.

But we have the hologram gadget where you can put up a hologram version of yourself and you can be off sneaking somewhere else.

Not sure why you'd alert the enemy with a hologram if you're already sneaking around undetected, but it was important to get in on the hottest properties of 1996.

We are going to have definite things that will help you with hiding your radar and noise signature, or heat signature, and stuff like that. So we definitely want that.

Here's more of the visionary's crystal-clear direction. They will "have definite things" (which is different from "definitely having things") to hide your radar (because radar is frequently used by foot soldiers in ground warfare) AND your noise signature (like Aliens!) and stuff like that. But also, they definitely want that. Chris went from "they will" to "they want" in two sentences.

It's perfect because you just get to mark it as invalid making it not eligible to be selected as an existing bug. So when someone tries to log the same bug again you just mark that one invalid as well. One weird trick to ITIL Practitioners hate!

That was pretty good. The Roman Empire largely fell because it's growth was unsustainable and a slave-heavy economy reduces opportunities for the people who are paid for their labor. It'll be a hell of thing to lever in unless they're just taking the incursions of the Germanic tribes and the final 'sack' as the fall.

Who am I kidding, they got it from Fallout: New Vegas.

Of course, they have to be implemented intelligently in a game that has been designed to have mechanics that make using them beneficial to players, something which Chris Roberts's "My First FPS" clone isn't and never will be, but other than that, the idea is sound.

Yeah, Rome basically fell because of scope creep.

Hopefully Roberts can play some musical instrument while his empire burns.

There has been a miscommunication. In the design phase, 3.1 was to be the total number of good frames available, as understood by any backer that actually follows the development of this project. An upcoming improvement to the rendering process is planned, currently called Frames 2.0.
A key feature of this update will be the removal of incomplete or inaccurate frames, with the intention of giving every Citizen a much more reliable experience with exactly 2.0 frames per second every second. While it sounds like a small change, this is going to make the user experience incredibly realistic as 2.0 is the amount of eyes a human being normally has.
Sorry, Ben.

I think it looks like hot garbage and the pitch makes him sound like the kid from a 3D-Head commercial but the funny part imo is him using a fake name to distance himself from his brother, noted game developer and Cryengine EvangelistTM Sean Tracy which also obscures the fact he was one of the cig devs that helped turn Star Citizer's flight model to noclip trash to milk fps whales once the simwhales were dry and was in most of their propaganda videos for the first few years.



Does no ones else recognize Dan Tracy or find it amusing he's pretending not to be Dan Tracy and wasn't on team Roberts for the formative years or just no one cares? I was hoping there were some funny insights about this.
