I'm downloading things at the same time as I'm trying to see what that taxxe JPEG is and it's appearing line by line like in the 28.8k modem era. It's very nostalgic.

Basically this means that when researchers need some software made for their projects, I help them make it, or just outright make it myself. I remember our VR guy telling CR not to take cam control off of the player specifically when the player is getting into the ship as it would make the player sick as a loving dog. Needless to say, CR knows better.

Hi citizens, So some discussion was recently happening in the Not A Scam thread around frigates, the NPC-controlled ships you land on and fix because you can only hire ship captains not engineers. One of the first things you notice when you gently caress up these maintenance quests is if you fall off the frigate you fall straight down - down being relative to your orientation - until the game decides you're too far away and kills you. Now since the frigates were patched in - for free - after the whole game was released I figured that the reason you fall down was because when you land on them they were pretend-planets with no floor, so effectively you just hit the 'kill zone' map boundaries. Well, I ate crow for suggesting this because it turns out that not only are they not faked in the way I thought, but you can "EVA" seamlessly all the way from "planet to pupil", even in VR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ1YmUypTL0

They've got some cheek calling that a frigate. Pixelate fucked around with this message at 18:43 on Sep 16, 2019 |

quote:I have a lot of industry friends pat me on the back and say, “Wow, it must be so great to be operating in profit even before you ship!” Their look usually turns to incredulity when I explain that my intention is for all the money we bring in before launch to be spent on development. No profits, just a purchased a 4.7 million dollar mansion.... What is profit?

Isn't that how the UK studio became the hub? The team around Chris could only churn out JPEGs, if you wanted anything in the model viewer that had to get the UK to help, as Erin had a team that were actually producing stuff.... Erin and co was sent more and more JPEGs to the point they could make no progress on sq42, they restructured and shut down that Austin ? Office and made the UK office even bigger, as thats the only place where stuff was working also they have tax credits. Now years later its obvious the problem with the restructuring did not address the real problem. Now CR flys first class to the UK and hampers progress of an even larger team.

This is a shining example of staggered development you see they had a team asking what they should be working on and Chris staggered over and told them to make some mortherfuckin jpegs

It's the Roberts Family Trust. So when they come for Chris Roberts money they can't go after his house since he doesn't own it.

Not sure how trusts work in some the US, so I could be wrong here but the nature of trusts means It can not have any debt. Maybe ortwin has some next level finance wizardry going on but in theory there is no mortgage on said house. Yes it does add a very strong layer of protection, but there are some ways around it. Usually people at a high risk of being sued use em, doctors, lawyers, accountants & The very rich. Guess I did not know game dev was a highly paid and risky profession...
