more precicely, about crowd founded development.

and sure, grab that sweet legatus pack: it's super-rare, so it will only increase in value plus you will be a VIP in the verse. imagine you could join EVERY org even TEST SQUADRON

I love when Citizens prosthelytize like this. He should start going door to door with pamphlets.

“Excuse me sir. Do you have a moment to talk about or video game lord and savior Chris Roberts? He absolved himself of his sins!”

People like this make me think Star Citizen is going to have a very long and bizarre afterlife.

Someone at SOTA official forum was considering printing flyers promoting that dead game and putting them all over the city. I thought SC fans are not approaching that level of desperation yet, but I guess I was wrong.

Here's a fun one:

A citizen has compiled a chart of youtube views for the main SC channel

It is spectacularly misleading in a couple of fun ways.
* It is organized right-to-left, oldest on the right, newest on the left, counter to basically every standard you can imagine
* It is actually logarithmic, which severely dampens the visual impact of the swings

Despite that it's pretty apparent that two years ago they were regularly clocking >100k for their poo poo, and now they struggle to reach above 60k. There's been a major audience drop-off.

I used to log their general chat channels. This is fairly old because I couldn't be arsed to log their new thing after they moved off jabber:


it's a pretty clear trend lmao

Jesus Christ, while the patch didn't hit yet, the notes that dropped for No Mans Sky really show that they planted rear end in the office and decided to really improve the game. I know this is par for the course with NMS, since every update was groundbreaking for that game but I'm still so amazed by this. From simple interface improvements (you can now instantly click on stuff instead of holding down the mouse button when interacting), with complete UI redesigns, bigger and more detailed ship models, expanded multiplayer options to gutting a lot of useless backend stuff making the game faster, it reads like a dream. There's even base automation, logic circuits and over 300 cooking recepies!

However, unlike Star Citizen, I am sure that when I launch the game this evening all of what is written will be true.

See, these are the interesting things that we're discovering as gaming brings more and more people in contact with each other. There can be whole texts devoted to studying online interactions and how to manage/police them. Some solutions seem simple in theory but fall apart in practice. By all logic, Star Citizen should have been dead by now but here we are.

Speaking of which I am quite doubtful HG has managed to put out all they have put out with just the usually parroted 20-30 dev staff. They must have made extensive use of third party development companies and external support/hires of all kinds.

I was trying to peruse their latest financials for any references to that in their expenditure/costs figures: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/06663645/filing-history/MzI0MDkxNTA4M2FkaXF6a2N4/document?format=pdf&download=0

If any accountantgoon can spare some time to shed some light that would be great. Asking for a friend.

Looks like they hired CIG to make their game and that's why Star Citizen and Squadron 42 barely had any progress this year
