Sanya Juutilainen posted:Remember when CIG fidelized all the clothes to no end, carefully by hand? In all fairness that method only works if the amount of physics interactions is low enough for all of them to be mapped. If you train it for a piece of cloth interacting with a single ball and later on there are two balls it will just poo poo its pants. That means that the interactions have to be planned in advance and so on. (So CIG would never be able to use this method anyways) Pretty drat good for fighting games if you don't want to go full Arcsys and keyframe the whole drat thing.

To be completely fair, salaries for IT and engineering jobs in the UK are a lot lower than in the states, especially with the huge damage Brexit has been doing to the value of the pound. Senior engineers in the company that I work for would be paid 120K in the USA but the same job title in the UK is paid 50-60K equivalent and I am in a high cost area.

I mean, there's a reason that they don't namedrop poo poo games like Duke Nukem Forever* in their "articles". * Well apart from their paid shills who for a while were using DNF as an excuse for long development times, until someone explained to them how bad that argument was for them.

No that feeling is 20k people laughing at your pride and joy. That sinking feeling that they will all see how poo poo it is and think that spending thousands on a game that barely works and riddled with bugs stupid idea. They know deep down it's terrible. They don't really want other people to see their shame. It's like they lurk in there basements dreaming of having wild parties and how cool they would be if they had one. Now everyone is showing up and instead of a cool games of beer pong and hot girls you have a crowd of people laughing at thier weird collection of multi thousand dollar sex dolls... So they are left standing in the corner embarresed hoping they don't they are all broken and you have been waiting on another set of broken dolls on back order for 5 years.

DigitalPenny posted:Demon souls? Did he mean dark souls ? My favorite bit about that is that he claims he wants death to mean something in this non-game, and to reinforce the point, he cites a game series in which death means almost nothing. There's almost no cost to dying in Souls games. That's the central conceit of the series. Every time you die, you're almost certainly still better off than when you started, and the only way you lose is by giving up. He probably just heard Demon Souls was a hard game and mentions it because he wants Star Citizen to be hard too. And to be fair, it is hard to accomplish anything in SC.

In Wilmslow it is poo poo because its quite an affluent area, but if you live in the cheaper areas outside of Wilmslow, it's probably not too bad. If you can land that job in Derby for 65k where the average home price is £200k, you're laughing all the way to the bank. The average home price in Wilmslow is £435k

Scruffpuff posted:An excellent new Star Citizen chapter could be Chris partnering with a Chinese game company to continue funding. Then they can start retrofitting the entire game to appeal to the Chinese gaming mindset, making an even bigger cash shop with thousands of new ships locked behind loot crates and gambling games. Eventually the game will be a phone app that will pit your ship against other ships like a Pokemon game. Then we can watch the backers defend all of this as what they paid for the whole time and even better than they hoped. Trying to imagine Cryengine or Lumberyard or whatever the gently caress they're calling it nowadays running on a phone is pure

Every time you die, you're almost certainly still better off than when you started, and the only way you lose is by giving up. No, Demon's Souls had a world 'tendency' that got darker (meaning harder enemies) every time you died. The first level also had an enemy that could kill you in one hit - not hidden or anything, just there if you chose to turn left after crossing a bridge instead of the literal right way. It was a sadistic piece of poo poo game.

Spotted "refactor" and "server mesh" in there, might be other gems as well. I think these aren't actually postings for positions, but part of the window dressing so CIG backers can read them and say to themselves, "It's all true! The server mesh is real - they're hiring experts on it!"

"Work well in a cooperative environment" being said twice in the skills section after they corrected it once already, because some randoTwitter noticed that their offer's deadline was in June. CI not G professionalism never disappoint. Or maybe it's intentional, "working well in a cooperative environment" being corporate talk for "we'll suck your blood dry and you won't be paid overtime". It really needs to be stressed twice.
