Beluga Snail posted:Question - where would the archive of the various development history things be floating around? I can't seem to find it, namely that picture from the early days team that looks like a Trump Cabinet photo because there's only like 2 people left in total. Not sure on the archive, but here's some stuff that probably comes from there originally, including that photo. Archive itself is bound to be in SCAM somewhere...

Zazz Razzamatazz posted:BUT the instant a ship sale under-performs, leading to the next ship sale being a disastrous flop- too many backer's faith would be shaken. If enough people say "well, I'll sit this sale out and see what happens", well it's like the end of a ponzi scheme. Less new money coming in means no money paid out means even less new money coming in... CIG have enough in the bank to weather a bad ship sale or two. They've done it before - the space bus was a disaster for all we like to mock the drinks minigame, the superfighter fatigue as backers rebelled against endless oneupmanship in single-seat fighters, the same thing happening with jetbikes after a while (when they stopped being useful as LTI mules), the terraformer ship that was swiftly memory-holed, the armoured transport ship for your space tonks, and so on. A run of bad ships might trigger an unforced error or two that turns out to be what finally sends whales diving for the exits, but one or even two bad ship sales in a row won't stop the dream. We've seen before that it takes a direct, un-ignorable attack on a whale's personal dreams to snap them out of it. You have to specifically undercut their belief that one day they'll be lording it over the unwashed masses in their space yacht. That's why CIG never touches the spaceships once the sale is over. Messing with the specifications is incredibly dangerous. Look what happened with the missing seat in the alien bubble-fighter - the biggest uprising the backers have ever had, and all over whether an obscure and expensive fightercraft was single or two-seater.

I am humbled, the CIG faithful have proven me wrong. Truly, the pipelines have kicked in and the delivery rate is astounding. Why there should be a second solar system by the end of 2025!

TWITCH: Astropub, Bored, and Darj talk The Lady Macbeth The show is still streaming but they spent almost ten minutes on it. AstroPub hasn’t even seen it, but Darj and Bored have. So they squirm while giving it the “nothing to see here” treatment. Darj was clearly to be featured in it.
Pretty awesome segment. All it needed was an Erris meltdown.

G0RF posted:* Chris is single-handedly creating a new physics engine from scratch and that’s great because he coded Wing Commander. (“I mean Chris coding? He’s pretty brilliant.”) I'm sure the guy who had a hand in coding the current mess was just a moment of clarity away from making something awesome.

Just crack open a physics book, in the end it's all just a few dozen equations. I'm sure what's going on is just some minor transcription errors that any common a garden genius can spend an afternoon on and handle. Really, setting up pipelines is far more important to the firehose of amazeballs content waiting just around the next patch.
