Out of all the possible outcomes, I think an end resulting directly from hitting a hard wall on technical debt is the most naratively fitting.

Rotten Red Rod posted:Meanwhile in NMS you can literally design the inside of your own freighter and staff it with alien NPCs, and it's in the game and works. Yep. Subnautica lets you jump in/out of the giant submarine and place your own tools/workbenches/art/storage containers all over it Pulsar lets you customize your interior and run around with multicrew NMS lets you build your own freighter and hire NPC's X4 lets you board and capture ships from the NPC's inside Space Engineers is an entire game built on the concept of building/crewing big ships Angels Fall First is a multiplayer Battlefront 2 clone with big capship interiors and flyable fighters, all playable with bots Star Wars Galaxies had ship boarding and npc crews in like, 2001 CIG is failing to re-implement decades old concepts because they insisted on doing everything in the hardest way possible with no compromises, and it all compounds. Ship with an interior flying around? Difficulty rating 1. NPC's navigating inside them? Up to 10. Oh it's also multiplayer and you need to be able to transition from one ship to another? Difficulty 100 now. And it's a long term, persistent MMO? Now you're in the thousands. So far they've solved for... the very first step in that chain, successfully. Everything else is "Work in progress."

They don't even know what SQ42 is, much less how to make it. All they have is a stack of used toilet paper that Chris threw on the stage floor a few years back.

The most meaningless and misleading roadmap of all time. Green checkmarks and 100% completion rankings on completely meaningless terms scattershot all over the roadmap in whatever way they please. It's OK - player carriables v2 is completed! What are player carriables? What was v1 like? What did v2 entail? What are the specific fixes and improvements? Does that mean it's done or does it need to go to v7? Does it even work? gently caress you! Players carriables is 100% motherfuckers! Progress.

Sorry, boys! Nobody's buying anymore. Didn't you see the sign that CIG put up years ago? It says "New money only."

Peter.Quint posted:The white knights seem to regard this as just a seasonal thing and once citcon comes around faith will be restored and the guilty will be punished and made to repent. Who knows, maybe they're right. They must have read Poor Crobberts' Almanack because they are right. When game development has been going on long enough that you can effortlessly track the seasons like a farmer, when to sow hype and when to reap pledges, then that's when you know everything's going absolutely quadruple A.

It just highlights their lack of progress. I hope they don't, of course.

I love that bluegoblin’s arguing that even though the road map items haven’t budged at all, that doesn’t mean CIG aren’t working on other stuff. Most transparent development ever.

They're running out of bog standard game elements they can take credit for inventing and have to make some progress on the elements of the game that would be near impossible for a seasoned publisher to accomplish. Elements that they promised were possible in 2011. Hell, even the stuff that other companies can do like AI and large scale battles and more than 100 people on a server seem beyond the grasp of CIG as a company.

Just another person confusing obsessive bike-shedding with perfectionism. CR does not care that nothing in the game works. He cares that this one pixel is blue instead of green.

Wabi-Sabi In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi (侘寂) is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection.[2] The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete".[3] It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence (三法印 sanbōin), specifically impermanence (無常 mujō), suffering (苦 ku) and emptiness or absence of self-nature (空 kū). Perfection is grief.

You know DICE recently announced that they’re scrapping a planned 5v5 gamemode for Battlefield V (that no one asked for anyway) due to...reasons. While it’s obviously bad press to have to acknowledge that a feature will be scrapped from a game, I find it somewhat mature of them as well. At least they can swallow their pride and say “gently caress it, let’s re-think this”. Has CiG ever officially scrapped any of their ideas or “features”? I kind of imagine them going the Trump route of never backing down and never accept an obvious failure.

The feast of a thousand fanboys comences, watch as they devour each other. Something's definitely, finally, opening the eyes of the backers. The community is becoming more and more polarized. This is good for Star Citizen. BigglesSWE posted:Has CiG ever officially scrapped any of their ideas or “features”? I kind of imagine them going the Trump route of never backing down and never accept an obvious failure. There will be no "scrapping of ideas" in the land of CInotG, there will be only "refactoring".

They can't scrap any of their proposed ideas/features because they've already sold those features for hundreds or thousands of american dollars and they can't afford to make refunds.

"This ship might be slow but she ain't stoppin' for nobody!" proclaimed the captain of the Titanic. "That's right sir" quipped the pilot, "all this talk of icebergs is pure FUD." "I've no idea what you're talking about, what the gently caress even is a reddit? Enough chatter you anachronistic rapscallion! Steer into that big white thing, I want a closer look."
