Every year is year one for Store Cultizen At the end of each year it resets like the groundhog day and they are all trapped in the endless "development" with no refunds to break the loop.

TheAgent posted:why the hell would you ever need a dual systems case anyway I believe he uses one of the systems specifically for running everything related to streaming, while the other runs the actual games (and Star Citizen). It's not that unusual among some larger Twitch streamers to just route the audio and video over from a gaming PC to a streaming PC so as to keep the two things separate for stability and performance.

Sure. But there's still no reason to have both those computers in the same case, as opposed to two cases. It's harder to cool and the cases are more expensive. But these people spend $1,000s on jpegs that may never actually be playable, so it's more of a "look what I can do" thing.

maybe he means it's their first year with a roadmap? That'd actually be funnier because it would mean he was supporting a game company that he thought refused to do the most basic part of making a game for six years.

Their date estimation pipelines are just coming online now, they're really going to be picking up the pace next year on dates. I can confirm as I have already played through their whole date estimation feature.

Zaphod42 posted:We actually do Kanban now but since we weren't being stupid about Agile its really not that different than how we did Agile. I'm sad so many people appear to have had bad experiences with agile methods. It's true though if your leadership is poor it doesn't matter what "methods" you try to use. Milestones and dates and communication is all critical and necessary. I think the best part of it though is that developers are able to feel more ownership and thus are more diligent about the effort they put in because their opinions are valuable and they can redirect the outcome of a project. With waterfall I've basically been handed hundreds of pages of design documents and notes and had a strict timeline to have everything completed by based entirely off of the design and oh they've already sold 10 of them so there's nothing you can do about it. The sales parts and promises still happen in agile though, so oh well. The projects can be more bitesize and you can think about the components and their interactions more, and less time diverting all kinds of resources to other stuff and hope their functions are using the right values so everything slides together like a Chris Roberts FPS from Illfonic special edition product.

And it had some really funny moments, too. TheYamiks is just so hilarious in his line deliveries that I cracked up at most everything he said. Yes, a lot of people really didn't get the funny in that. quote:I look forward to the devastating Montoya response. “Montoya destroys Charlatan Wonder!” Well someone has already summed it up:

I'm also glad it's that time of year where it's time to start reminding people that development is only like less than a year in and they've been working on the groundwork and haven't been able to start really developing until recently. Unless you want a refund. Then the game is pretty much fully developed and you're a lovely person for trying to get your money back when it's like three different AAAA games combined together with the fidelity of a real life Matrix.

What is the IFCS that they are talking about? Edit: Also, software projects missing deadlines is something that happens at times, but if you're always missing deadlines then your estimation process needs a lot of work. As an aside, if you don't have some sort of quantification of risk then your process is wrong -- and none of the estimates theyve made lead me to believe that they're bothering to quantify risk.

Natron posted:This is an interesting point, because not only are the materials not transferrable, if you're making a wooden building and the straw hut is there, you're actually adding extra work. Planning in architecture (or anything else really) is incredibly important, for this exact reason. Making a change when nothing is built is cheap and easy, because it's just lines in a CAD program. If you build a wall in your new house, put a floor in top of it, and then run electrical through it, when you want to take it out, you've actually created even more work than just putting in a wall there in the first place. Thanks for destroying my many immersive hours of ARK gameplay. BASTARD.!!!!

Scrubbing the toilets of a software development company does not make you a developer. "No, but see, I have friends who are developers, and I talk to people in the cafeteria when they take a lunch break, so I have LEARNED!"
