RGO lookin like what the majority of original backers wanted

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ATMffKWGAw

Majority of original backers clearly voted that they wanted 10 more years of development to make their game a little prettier, replace clicking on the bar to get missions with 10 minute train rides, and add an impossibly complicated MMO with farming, a stewardess profession, and a dynamic economy balanced by the actions of 9 million NPCs who you can hire to work in your factory based on their qualifications.

Was tractoring in designer clothes on the roadmap?

Ed: loving LOL that's an actual functioning game. The thing that tipped me off was that it looked like it worked. Is there any part of RGO that isn't taking potshots at SC?

Hilariously, having spent tine in the hobbiest game programming/development gulags, I guarantee this person:

* Already has an idea.
* The idea is (given modern gaming) something like "Like Fortnite but..." with something like "you sign instead of you dance" or "in space" or "peer to peer" (It's always loving peer to peer) or milsim style "You can't run as fast and building takes a realistic amount of time."
* They will literally not have given any further thought to this.
* They want programmers and artists who want no agency in the final product, but will work for free.
* Will want to take credit for the work and expect to make 50-60% of the gross take.
* Will wonder why it takes more than 3 months to develop.

I actually think 'Designer Clothes' is a pop at Hilmar. When Monacle-gate happened in Eve, one of his answers was that people pay hundreds of dollars for designer jeans. For people that don't know, the 'walking in stations' bullshit arrived with a bunch of clothing options, one of which was a monacle for $75, and it caused what can only be described as a 'poo poo tornado'.

It's one of the funnier aspects is that they've literally done the slightly parody version of 'Privateer', and it's going to be great. Now if only they hadn't fallen over themselves going after Tim's money.

I wish we knew what was going on with Rogue Galaxy Outlaw and its release date. I am okay with the long development time though because the devs found proper funding and are not doing anything sketchy. No reason to be concerned about the development time of RGO.

October 20th on Epic. Apparently following a year later on other, competing, platforms.

I was playing Elite: Dangerous earlier this evening. I know it's not particularly popular round here but! it's a game, and it has game play mechanics that work, and game play loops that are consistent (if tedious)... basically, Frontier has, at some point in the past, given some thought as to how its disparate elements might possibly hang together, and they have built a game around those decisions.

Compare and contrast with Star Citizen.

I am one of the E:D-fans around here. The criticism about Elite in this thread make sense to me. Exploration is tedious, yet it's my favourite thing in Elite. It helps me relax. Because it is consistent: I honk systems, my systems visted score goes up. The outside-the-game EDDiscovery tool adds to it by making a nice track for me on the galaxy map.
Solid loop. My character, discoveries and ships have persisted for over four years already.

THOSE fuckers are idiots being led by the nose by the bright lights and flickering noises of the moron-box.

I, on the other hand, am careful and considered in my pre-purchasing of games before they're finished. THEY are the problem, I am merely a pre-consumer.

Hey, surprise. Ask questions about ships you can buy. No other questions, just about ships...that you can buy.

I have a question about ships.

Shipped is a term used to describe when a game is being released to the public.

It's been nearly two decades since Chris Roberts has shipped a game.

My question is was it ever a good idea to give Chris Roberts money?

Sounds like he is selling/melting all his ships (4K worth) to buy a new car (although I could be wrong on the car).

Good for him.

Marching Powder is objectively the worst poster known. He also needs to learn how a keyboard works.

Hello

Precis please.

How is everyone?
Did Derek ever get unbanned?
Does Clifford still have a creepy sex offender beard?
Did Crytek win?
Is Ben still alive?
How many days has it been since Ben publicly talked about Wing Commander?
Has MoMA admitted he's wrong all the time?
Is Star Citizen out yet?
Is Chris Roberts in prison yet?

I hope everyone's well.

I've been fine, I quit self employment because my boss was an rear end in a top hat, and got a job as a Data coordinator, Analyst and Admin with a really nice NFP. I spend my days brutalising Excel and SQL into doing what I want now.
