YOUTUBE: Calling All Devs - Missiles, 600i, and Quantum Filters Calling two devs, actually — John Crewe and Rob Reinenger... Crewe explains how things on paper don’t always work the way you expected once brought into the game, has longer stories he will tell over drinks at Bar Citizen but not on Calling All Devs. Lando once again extols the virtues of their process. Crewe explains missile issues that resist their attempts to correct. (It seems nearly everything can break missile behavior, including planets.) FUD about HUD. If the state of the game is driving you to drink, don’t worry — an improved Bar experience is coming! G0RF fucked around with this message at 20:36 on Jul 30, 2018 |

Scruffpuff posted:That's one of the 3,500 giveaways that Chris Roberts is an idiot. "Tier-0" implementation of a mechanic that exists in a total vacuum. There is no economy, crafting, mining, refining, materials list, or even a single line of code that would support the underlying structure for any one of those things, let alone all of them. There is no plan, nobody has any idea what anything even is, but mining, because Elite. So here's some "shale" and point this laser and boom, mining is now "in game." Yes, totally agree.  Being able to make these low grade "check box ticks" has been huge for supporters though. The appearance of progress sometimes happens is good for them to keep spending money.

SoftNum posted:I actually have always hypothisized that managers really REALLY hated programmers cause programming is not a factory-like work (You won't always get X objects out of Y time, even if you did once); so management (and marketing) invented increasingly convoluted things to check up on programmers.... The whole 'time and motion' thing was born out of the 1970s production line model and it didn't translate across _at all_. First wave outsourcing concentrated on _production to specification_ which led to some of the _best_ hostile compliance you've ever seen. The 1990s was fun, in terms of first wave development, because nobody had a clue what the worth was, and back in 1996 there were few people actually monetizing. So you always ended up with sales suggesting that they were the engine and IT was a drain, right up until their laptop wouldn't boot. Mythical Man month was an attempt to address this that is _way_, _way_ out of date, but still referenced by people who never actually came across a time and motion study, or worked with production lines (They're strange animals that require setting up and can run out of sync depending on the line use. Lose a line for a couple of hours and you can have horrible backups; likewise when building a line, you have to have some concept of capacity for expansion or production changes.) It's one of the reasons I don't use it; _actual_ context has moved on. It would be like explaining pulse dialling to someone these days; historically relevant, but completely out of context.

Nyast posted:CIG has invented a new development methodology. 500 developers behind one chair. Not sure how it's called. Includes Tier-0 methodoloy for free. Chris-driven development. 500 developers, one Chris. The Chris has to remain in constant motion to deal with every developer, but he'll be around to every one of them in turn. If you need the Chris, you just have to wait for it to rotate around. Fake Edit: So what happened to all that mocap?

I'm in agreement that Agile is crap. Standups aren't supposed to be status meetings, but they inevitably are. Sprint review meetings are mostly worthless because the stakeholders don't care. Sprint retrospectives are the most pointless of all. If something good or bad needs to be addressed, just do it normally through the course of the day. Forcing out x number of 'things to keep doing' and 'things to stop doing' is ridiculous. Stories and story points are the worst. I hate them completely. I think this is exactly what PederP is talking about. There's so much cruft and crap surrounding Agile that is just slapped on as a bandaid to corporate process that it solves nothing. Let's say that there's some magical 'proper' way of applying Agile and it is good. Who cares? Agile is still bad overall if 95% of its usage in the corporate world is done wrong. If it can lend itself that easily to poor implementation then it cannot be a good methodology. What we do Project manager (or whatever their title is) decides on priorities based on what our clients need etc. and creates top level items in JIRA in prioritized order. Stuff gets picked for development and the developer working on the item will create more detailed individual tasks that get estimated etc. and then they do the tasks in a feature branch. We cut releases every wednesday and whatever made it into the develop branch before that release is cut is what's in the release. We do do a meeting every morning but it literally is only checking if anyone is blocked on something. I have yet to have it go over 3 minutes long. I could live without it, but it's ok. There's some more stuff around bugs and tech debt but that's pretty much it. We used to do more 'by-the-book' agile and it was pointless garbage. I guess this is basically some kind of Kanban? Anyway, it's very nice to work with and meeting time has dropped by like 90%.

Looks like CCP is working on a new MMO. Whether it's in space or not, it will probably be out before Star Citizen.

Jobbo_Fett posted:The best games let you kill your entire party before the game even started. Twice. ...so Traveler was the best game, huh? ("Many people die before they ever even get a spaceship, but eventually a team of senior citizens with major disabilities can go out for adventures in space using some super-janky mechanics" is kind of a best-case scenario for how Star Citizen could work out, actually. Whoever holds the Traveler license should look into collecting a royalty if that ever happens.)
