Because Chris is still stuck in the nineties. I remember one of the official Quake 2 expansions where the very first door...rotated! Like into the ground! It made absolutely no sense, but it did something that wasn't possible with the Quake 2 engine before that expansion, and of course the battle for the most complex door opening animation was on between the map makers. I admit I also sat there with an open mouth and thought "that thing rotated like nothing ever rotated before in Quake 2".

Chris is still stuck in that competition, to one up the other guy with his awesome door-opening-animation. Who needs sound game mechanics of he has a door animation that probably took 14 days to create.

e: thinking about it, it was actually Quake 1!

Joe pulling the "but the backers voted for it" rubbish out.

The backers never voted for the game to be delayed, and CR actually told people it wouldn't be delayed due to expanded scope. The backers (stupidly) believed CR when he said it wouldn't delay release, and then, conveniently forgot he ever said that when it took much longer.

CR was saying SC would release in 2015, AFTER the vote to expand scope. Backers conveniently forgot this.

Procgen planets were a kickstarter goal. Nobody voted for procgen planets to delay release by years. They were in the kickstarter back when CIG said it would release in 2014.

to be fair development didn't really start until a little bit ago and 2014 from 2012 is 2 years so 2 years from the ACTUAL development start would actually be 2021

It was bloody hard work for all concerned, but we went from tender to live in about 8 months. Tendering process was about 6. Our old database was loving awful, and pulling reports through SQL was like pulling teeth.

I can't wait for us to boot the care DB next. That one isn't quite as bad, but it's still a hellhole of stupidly organised tables.

My favorite bug... or uhm emergent gameplay I experienced in the last free fly back in the spring, was when I awoke in my wank pod at Olisar but the game thought I was in space and naked, so my commando immediately died of asphyxiation even though he was wearing a full spacesuit and helmet. His corpse then ceremoniously clipped through the floor into actual space while Scotty played the bagpipes.

Completion
In the last 500 years, the Fourth Stimpire has dominated four systems, which it has united into one starzone, Stimsis. With the current technological development it will be possible to extend the empire even further, forming an even larger one and eventually encompassing several systems in the Inner Sphere.
I, T3-M4, am a native of the Stimsis Starzone, and since the last of these four new empires came to power, I am the representative officer of the T3-M4 Stimsis Defense Fleet. And as such, I would like to announce that I am in the process of putting the first of many Stimsis Starzone complexes into operation.
The next Stimsis Starzone will be our home system. It has its own unique technology, a massive super weapon, but we intend to incorporate any technology into our arsenal to provide greater efficiency without sacrificing our advantages.
If your home system is in the Stimsis Starzone, please join us in expanding it on the way to its eventual expansion.
