I guess it's because people said they'd never get that far. I don't think these guys get the point of that insult, and the fact that they're demolishing their own positions by rushing to prove those people "wrong."

It should have been in the game from day one. Anything later than "simultaneously release with male models" is too late for a game that planned to always have them. This wasn't a "feature patch" they decided to add years in - it was supposedly always intended. If so, the rigs should have been sized and working with every ship right from the beginning. Instead, CIG-G+G announces this lack of their own planning as a "blocker" and has to solve the problem first. Rather like when Chris shits in his pants, announces the pants as a blocker, then realizes if he pulls them down before he shits it works out a lot better, then proudly explains the never-solved-before problem his vision resolved.

Showing that CIG-G+G finally has "female models" is pretty much validating the universal position: the game is a bunch of poo poo that releases the bare minimum required to maintain the illusion of progress, even if people born when it was announced are now reading, writing, and learning to ride the very bikes that CIG-G+G's programmers fall off and break their wrists.

That didn't really occur to me before. Kids born on the day Chris announced this abomination of a project are now old enough to see it's a scam and smart enough to know he's an idiot.

Hip Sway is in. Let the games begin.

quote:

It's the wide hips on the model that is causing a lot of sway. It looks odd because a lot of women don't have nearly as wide as the person they used to create to model. Still happens though.

Edit: also this is in between a walk and a run. A fast walk. A faster or slower speed might look less awkward

This begs some clarification. If it really is a pledge and not a purchase or pre-order you shouldn't be paying VAT over it. Since CIG makes end-users pay VAT, where does VAT go to ? Their pockets ? That'd be illegal. Do they really transfer back the collected VAT money to the correct countries ? If so, it's considered a purchase.

Point is, there is a contradiction between the fact they collect VAT and the fact they say it's not a purchase. One of the two is wrong, which one ?

What is that old saying again? By their fruits you shall know them? I would think their actions speak a lot louder than their words at this point.

Yes, with the video cutter as a stand in for an actual actress, which should have been hired later if they got some funding. Turned out the video cutter was very talented and kept the job. See, Sandi, you have to become the video cutter of the next movie you buy yourself into, so you are in full control who gets cut and who not.

Funny how that works.


"I'm not an actress, but I'll do a stand in until we can afford one."
(Turns out to be talented enough to carry the position.)

"I'm an actress! Point a camera at me!"

Another interesting one from a bunch of invested Citizens.

It's nearly 3 hours long (sidenote: is there any other unreleased game out there which generates 3 hour long discussions between fans?) and I haven't watched it all yet (and probably never will, tbh) but the first 30 minutes' discussion about CI¬G's abandonment of subscriber content, and the saltiness in the live chat, is revealing. Lack of community content, the Faceware game changer that never happened, community engagement in the shitter, out of date information on the ship pages, Turbulent, the *new* tutorials which the *new* flight model will render obsolete... it goes on and on...

They get so close, they really do, but can't quite bring themselves to take the discussion to its logical conclusion, to whit, CI¬G don't give a poo poo about you, nerds - there's a new investor in town and he needs placating.

Starts at the 12 min mark, positive vibes reassert themselves at around 45 mins in.

The walk looks weird because they changed the model to give her a thigh gap I think. so they moved her leg bones out a few inches so now it doesn't fit natural to the torso.

I am totally an expert on the female body, because I’m definitely surrounded by them at all times, and they totally have the sex with me, because I’m a gentlemen of class and refinement who owns an Idris.

So I can definitely say with authority that all women walk like cartoon caricatures of women.

I clicked randomly at around an hour and a half and they were bitching about all mechanics being missing and how it would be a great idea for the to introduce minus 0.0 mechanics, meaning, stuff even less polished than the current 0.0 crap. But, in the end, they think that the lack of the mechanics is because CI-G is too perfectionist and won't release anything until it is ready.
