This makes even less sense if you consider that mining is a thing and you could dig through the cave to get your friends out. I wonder what engine is the cinematic made in and who made it. Because it doesn't look as lovely as SC does. Maybe it's the mocapped stuff? Maybe someone figured out "hey we have all that mocap data sitting here, I know it's for something different, but with a little tweaking we can repurpose it" and made the commercials with them. I wonder if the same would be true for the mining ship commercial. E: Taxxe Kikas fucked around with this message at 09:12 on Sep 7, 2019 |

Beet Wagon posted:also lol if you do bad stuff you're gonna have to wait in jail or play a prison minigame This is good. Small reminder for people who do not play the game. Current things that are illegal and will get you branded a space criminal, instantly shot by the guards and turrets at every station, and teleported straight to the space pokey: * Shooting other players (of course) * Having other players shoot you (what?) * Bumping into other ships * Having other ships bump into you- seriously the algorithm just kind of chooses a person at random * Being on another player's ship when they shoot someone * Flying too close to landing pads * Flying too close to your own landing pad, if the ATC is bugged out * Being landed on a pad for too long * Being scanned while carrying illegal cargo * Failing to stop quick enough when interdicted for the scan- your stop speed is based on the speed you entered QT at, so if you're in a big ship, an interdiction is an automatic failure because you can't stop in time * Accepting one of a dozen anonymous missions for combat, that turns out to be from a pirate faction * Doing any of the "Satellite disable" missions * Flying into the no fly zones that invisibly bound every major city completely undetected until you are 3 seconds from impacting them * Probably about ten other things I'm forgetting So basically the only reason the game is even semi-playable right now is that you can land, commit suicide by cop, and reset this crime stat. Obviously for CIG this is an intolerable state of affairs. Star Citizen is the game of 45 minute in-system travel times and 15 minute bus rides, there's no room for hotshots to take shortcuts around here! It's extremely good that you will be thrown in jail now, unless you play the hacking minigame where you press a single button and then wait for twenty loving actual minutes and hope nobody kills you in that time. Yes, that is the "intended" way to dismiss your wanted level. You go somewhere and press a button and sit for twenty minutes.

Agony Aunt posted:Ok, let's put that to one side for the moment. What else do they say about it? And of course, there's the whole nonsense about how Chris was shaping the industry that he waffled about in the manual, when all his boasting really did was reveal how deeply ignorant he was of computer hardware, software, and games in general at the time. My rant can still be read in the old thread. Particularly fine gems include his misunderstanding how ratios work; his difficulty in predicting whether computers would become more powerful (1993 was the year of the Pentium); and as mentioned, his missing the ball by 2 years in his failed attempts to create a simulator. Oh, and of course his thinking that being inept and ignorant makes him pretty much the same as Francis Ford Coppola.

From a weekly roadmap recap thread, on the thing that's apparently been sucking up infinite development time and delayed at least 3 patches now - quote:For AI, we almost double the amount of tasks on the Bartender NPC, and although there is a good amount of completed task, the overall result is a fall by -13%.

Dark Off posted:https://youtu.be/wENuiIcPK10?t=2598 the design documents gets asked again Ah, the "design documents" -- actually it's Lando's air quotation marks, not mine, that he gestures when the question is first asked. Were those the insane(ly long) ramblings that detailed mining and such, and promised ~dreams~ and clearly unfeasible stuff both in terms of complexity and in tediousness that they would result when translated to gameplay? Those are apparently gone now, never to return. And also, apparently they now have way shorter documents about tier-0 implementation of their mechanics. Which of course they won't even discuss about releasing in public, because reasons I guess, in the most open development project ever. Don't let the rubes know how much you dialed back the insanity and hurt their dream, as these particular crowd does not react well to that. No, leave it vague (which is why "tier-4" is casually mentioned, when their "tier-0"(!) is not even a thing for most of their mechanics and features).

monkeytek posted:It amazes me that after 7 years Commandos are never concerned to read things like "worked towards completing the first pass on the new iteration of combat behaviors" It packs three weasel-word qualifiers into such a short amount of space. They're not working on combat behaviors, but only on the new iteration. In fact, they're not even doing the new iteration, but only the first pass on the new iteration. And they are working towards completing it -- which is to say that they aren't done even with the first draft of the draft. Truly the excuse-making pipelines are in place, and their content is flowing faster than any other game.

There was a period where the only thing I kept up with here was the Star Citizen forum. I'm glad the thread lives. You know, if Chris and Sandi were in anyway likable, the story of a has-been scamming nerds with a phony video game so he could help his wife launch a movie career and meet celebrities is really sweet.

History Comes Inside! posted:Why is there Ship AI when everything is supposed to be ships being piloted by actual physical pilots so it would be covered by their incredible AAAA+ NPC AI, surely? Well, obviously what they mean by that task is the subsiblisumption code required to make the pilot fly the ship. No way would CIG lie to anyone and actually just have the ship fly itself with the NPC pilot just mimic what the ship is doing. That would totally lack fidelity.

The gas clouds outside the window, the perfect lighting setting the mood inside the ship with small candles on the table. The animations which are so good, just look at how the woman turns, looks down for a split second and then up again, it looks so real and fantastic. The narration and music in this scene also hits it out of the park. It just brings emotion.
