guys, Moist Noodle here from JR Design & Fabrication (JRDF).

While I can't comment on what CIG may or may not have paid for the Dragonfly, I can remind OP that while all of the people on our team are fans of Star Citizen, being a fan doesn't pay our rent or feed us while we work 7 day weeks getting these bespoke builds completed.

However, while the topic has been raised, I would like to extend a sincere thank you for all the support the community has shown (including in the replies to this thread), the love shown has been extremely humbling.

If anyone has any genuine questions, I will be happy to answer.

technically, 3.3 ain't delivering poo poo until it hits live. but yeah it seems like the fps gains are the real deal. Now you can wander around through Chris Roberts's big empty sandbox in up to* 120 fps

*Range of available fps varies significantly based on computer build, internet speed, and techno-magic. Your results may vary.

This is true. In that case, meh… there are gains. They're not so much impressive as just something you would have expected to be in place 4–5 years ago, and which will most likely go away as add the whole game part.

After CitCon I came to a bit of a revelation. For all the stupidity and lies that Chris Roberts has gone through, we're at the point now where it can't really disputed what SC is. They have shown the same thing for several years and the community has clearly expressed their support for it. It's not a conventional game, and to many people it doesn't come off as particularly fun, but enough people like it to go to a convention and continue to pay for it. And regardless of the product I can't fault people for spending money on what they want. It kind of made me see most backers in a different light. We all have stupid interests and who am I to judge.

gently caress Gremlich though. That guy's a dick.

Let me respond by saying that those same cultists think it is ok for them to overwork people if they can get their autism coffee making game delivered in the next 50 years. They also attacked a man dying of cancer.

It might be a niche group, but they are broken, mean, bandwagon-ing anti social zealot-crusaders. Goons are just broken anti-socials.

Plus they love to tell everyone how it will be the best game ever and shame everyone who disagrees.

It ain't normal.

Hit the first hurdle. It's reserving around 9Gb private memory and using 50% of processor to display that, but I am getting nearly 200fps.

Edit: Hitting 'okay' lets it go on bouncing the loading screen and heating up the room. But that's it.

Edit: There's something really compelling about SC in terms that there's no head-bob and your view stays steady as a rock, but the HUD bounces. :bravo: 23 fps on a 1080, with _significant_ hitching on fast movement.

I've often thought that the survival-minded CIG employees probably keep a "Chris" folder handy with some flashy-looking but utterly meaningless bullshit, just in case he ever shows up at the office and wanders past their desk demanding to see what they're working on. Just a little something that can be shown off in under four minutes, preferably involving some kind of animation, with some obvious visuals for him to demand changes to so that he can get his micromanaging on and then walk away instead of sticking around to sweat and yell at them for an hour.

Also, it needs to have some blu 'xels.

To bait Chris into asking for green 'xels instead of asking for the entire ship to be remodelled for the Nth time.

Never underestimate the power of the 'xels.

This is some CIG-level bullshit.

There is straight-up no way their camera is getting that much information from a darkened room which, by literal definition, is not sending it information to receive. The only way their camera can out-perform another camera that has lights strapped to it is if it also has a loving light strapped to it, at which point "the only light" is not coming from the computer monitor - and which also, based on the prototypes, it does not.

quote:

The Faceware Motion Sensor prioritizes high frame rate capture over USB3.0. The faster the frame rate, the more of your subtle motion we can capture, even in practically “no light” scenarios where webcams traditionally struggle or can’t capture at all.
Oh poo poo, my mistake, it's using USB 3.0
