The thing that really gets me is that this cult fanbase exists despite Chris Robert's track record. I mean I was aware that Wing Commander games existed back in the day but they were never top of the line space sims? They were 'fairly decent' but not on par with say, X-Wing or later Tie Fighter. They were low 80s score games in the old video game magazines, not classics. Freelancer was decent fun but again, not the best thing around even when it was freshly released. How did he ever manage to sell himself as being a Big Deal? Edit: Kitten Tax:

"Every NPC will have their own individual 24-hour schedule periodically constructed for them based upon things like how the economy is doing and what’s happening and within the solar system. A prosperous, growing economy might be reflected by the streets being filled with businessmen, tourists, and shoppers by day, and bar patrons, restaurant diners, and revelers at night. Criminal activity – muggings, vandalism, pickpocketing, and even assault – might rise significantly once the sun sets, especially in those areas off the beaten path or on planets facing economic hardship. Some stores will close at night, leaving travelers arriving at odd hours and in need of their services and/or products to either burn some time at one of the establishments open around the clock, or trying to find an alternative source for their needs, which might mean trying to strike a late-night deal in a dark alley with a character of questionable integrity." Tony Zuvorec, November 2014, just 5 years ago. First working Box grabbing environments, THEN living space with EVERY NPC dynamicly scripted, NEXT epic space battles with x thousands of players. We are so close!

Designers are going to hand-craft individual mission components, and then specify how those pieces can be customized at run-time and linked to others to form coherent chains that effectively represent small, unique stories consisting of multiple sequential mission objectives. Responding to a simple distress call, then, becomes a lot more interesting because – just like in real life – you never know what might unfold as a result. Prevent a freighter from being destroyed by brigands, and you might collect your reward and leave. Search the computer core of the attackers’ ship, though, and you might ascertain the location of one of their remote outposts. Infiltrate that base and you might learn where they stash their stolen booty and make off with a fortune…if you can figure out how to defeat or draw away the heavily armed ship defending it. I think that the end result is going to be considerably greater than the sum of the individual pieces, and provide players with a much more diverse and interesting world to explore, where there are a practically infinite supply of threads that, when pulled, can dynamically instantiate long strands of a story that the player can choose to pursue or ignore as they see fit." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzy9Dg-G56s MedicineHut fucked around with this message at 12:29 on Nov 13, 2019 |

Nah Wing Commander was definitely a really big deal among most gamers. Not the hardcore sim crowd but everyone else. I still remember this dude in my art class giving me a pile of floppies to install it

They could, I don't know, have a hotkey, such as 'E', that grabs the thing/opens a context menu where you can then tap 'E' again to pick it up (since apparently all you do in SC is carry some goddamn boxes around).

Okay, I thought they share ideas how they are going to deal with the misinformation and desinformation that the SC communities spread. Because that obviuosly hurts the SC project if anything? Chris Roberts was caught beeing a liar about dates and the project status, several times, even called out by "pro" SC sites. SC reddit: He did not lie! Calling a liar not a liar is...misinformation? Or desinfomation? Defending broken mechanics that can't compete with 2009 games is misinformation? Or desinformation? And what do the commandos think of that: https://scfocus.org/star-citizen-myths/ Reality? lol

That thread is comedy gold. TLDR Single player console games will look better than SC because star citizen is an MMO SC has to dumb down the graphics to get a wider group of people play When SC has a grass planet it will look better It's alpha and cannot be compared a finished game We all knew console games would look better but it's ok because they don't have whole planets.

There is something about this that reminds me of Todd Howard hyping up the Radiant AI for Oblivion. The joke here is that the Radiant AI didn't work, and ended up creating a lot unintentional comedy. Much like Star Citizer. History repeats itself, time is a cube, etc...

There is nothing hidden, there is no "secret PTU" where the commandos can claim "woah, we can play the jesus patch, it all WORKS, just wait, NDA here, not gonna spoil the BDSSE". The failure is visible. You can watch and PLAY the PTU and all it's bugs and glitches that they could not get rid of since 1500+ days. 1500+ days of pre alpha tech demo bugs and glitches in the 8th year and 300 Million burned. Please let the local installed demo & inengine.avi-CON with their conartist be a success with another 10+million of fresh cash. This deaster may not stop, the aftermath gets funnier the more money they sink

Mirificus posted:https://twitter.com/Lukas_Genever/status/1194295208390930432 How long before they get to the point where they turn up in maternity wards trying to flog off positions at CInotG to the 'recently birthed' future software developers? I mean, it just seems 'wrong' to me to be going into educational facilities where students have no life experience and trying to slyly sneak out advertisment for an unmade product while also recruiting said younglings. It seems, scummy, which I guess is CInotG's favored strategy for just about everything. They may as well just write on their twatter page "Hey, look at all this stuff we sell that doesn't exist, come work for us before your moral compass develops or at least before you see how others actually make real things"
