I don't think it's going to soften up that much at landfall, Orlando will probably still feel a 4. I'm in Jax and firm 2 seems right

Star Citizen content isn't appropriate for GBS, as Chris Roberts' bullshit isn't general; it's a very specialised form of bullshit.

How about we start a Concern section, and put it in there?

The whole thread is getting moved to Concern?

Beet was never one of us, he�s been playing the long game all along. It�s the Star Citizen version of Operation Trust.

From what The Agent recounted, it sounds like CI!G have moved their engine into "Concern".

Hello everyone, sorry to disrupt the discussion on the Agent's delicious new post, but I'm gonna share this here in addition to the sticky post I just made, just so it doesn't catch anyone by surprise:

Seriously is everyone in SC gaining lots of weight except for chris? I think there might be a correlation here with oblivousness/shilling. As the shell begins to crack the weight increases as it's realized that what is being done.

since all they have is art assets and mocap, is it really all that much of a "do over" by changing engines? I mean, don't those things just import from blender to <insertEngineNameHere>

I'm not gonna start worrying until that cone comes down in size. Right now it's too big to be making any significant predictions. Pretty funny they have the suggested point of landfall basically on my house though lol.

hello

after many, many assurances that the crytek lawsuit would not proceed, chris & co are scrambling (no elaboration)

emails, contracts, recorded conversations and biz licences are being sent for review (legal review?)

Erin "extremely nervous" about outcome, although showing a "carefree attitude" around the office

"I know for a fact he doesn't want another Gizmondo on his hands. Once was enough."

aegis backer event: "Our goal was to be totally positive. We nailed it."

production on certain parts of the game are stopped completely until legal avenues are resolved

mostly that means engine and server improvements

this halt is scheduled to begin 9/3, but employees have known about it for some time

engine switch most likely in the cards, deep discussions about stadia/UE4 ongoing

"Anything made or built with CryEngine would be discarded and re-coded." including animations, models, maps, client and server side code, etc

"We'd have to redo a lot of work. It'd be worth it, because it's the only way forward."

hello

I am doubtful, this cannot be real, it is too good. I mean the options are Google or the Epic Store engine? Either would be :perfect:

, almost too :perfect:

But in these bullet points is an actual date which would seem unusual, if entirely made up you would normally be vague on dates, and it is quite soon too.. :shrug:

If they did switch engines there'd be an interesting situation with the current employees, I mean their tech leads (and hiring) are CryEngine focused. (and AWS if Stadia)

goodbye

Well, I can admit when I'm wrong: I predicted CR would make a "Chairman's Admonishment" this week. Instead he put his foot even farther up his esophagus.

Just stunningly out of touch with the mood of his community.

I think they just don�t give a poo poo anymore. They have their whales and they will milk every last drop out of them. Every backer left with a shred of sense and/or self-awareness can go gently caress off.

Their content and whole attitude has become more and more blatant over the past year. You have Lando literally laughing at their expectations of release.

Rumours coming out of CIG Manchester that their QA team haven't been paid this month. Going on previous experience this is usually the start of the end - QA get boned first before other departments due to the perception that they are the most expendable.

Hopefully for them it's an admin error :tinfoil:

Hear me out, Crobbler.

What about scraping everything and ~~beg~~ make a deal with Epic to port Star Citizen maps into Fortnite: Battle Royale replacing the poo poo Star Marine FPS. See where it takes you.

I'm not even asking for a paycheck for offering the idea.

The ensuing hilarity would be enough.
