To be fair a lot of people have predicted the end of funding at various times, but what people don't factor in is the sunk cost galaxy effect. The backers know that CIG is on the edge and that they need money coming in so they keep throwing money at them. I don't see this stopping anytime soon.

 Get to know Firesprite, a new CIG contractor.Hey all, Bootcha here. In this edition of Open Game Development, I'd like to introduce you to a new CIG contractor: Firesprite. First off, where did Firesprite come from? Well, in the CIG UK Companies House, there was a posting of a Resolution of Articles of Association on 11 FEB 2020: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/08815227/filing-history In that resolution, on page 11, was a new company I had not seen before: VGDC Lienholding LLC. VGDC, or "Video Game Development Company", is documented as part of the US Group of CIG. That would mean nothing on it's own, as CIG has a slew of shell companies. However, it turns out this VGDC shows up in a loan charge dated about 2 years ago, the exact amount is not known or cited, to a company in Manchester, UK. This new unknown company is called Icesprite: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/11031090/charges/OVECHyeOoxHfI4Pl5r-pyaNZM-Q Icesprite, is owned by Firesprite: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/08240765 Firespite, is a gamedev studio in Liverpool, UK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firesprite Now, before you go "GASP FUUUUUUUUUUUCK", that's a completely different Chris Roberts at Firesprite. That was a short lived chuckle. Firesprite also made the VR game "Persistance". https://youtu.be/Tpcu9OU-LH8 A recent tweet pointed out a list of 140+ development partners working on games for the Xbox Series X. https://twitter.com/ZhugeEX/status/1258688498879651842 In that list, you will find Firesprite. Also, that CI Games is not CIG, that's a Polish gamedev, that'd be a hell of a swing even for Roberts. The Star Citizen Roberts. Now before ya'll swing into hyper-speculation mode, know that I have done that for you, and I have come to a few possible conclusions that seem the most likely: - Firesprite is working on tools and/or tech for CIG. VR stands out as a distinct possibility for tech CIG desires. This is the most likely option and safest bet. - Firesprite is working on a console release candidate for SQ42. This is a less likely but possible option, as a console release of SQ42 would make sales in a market CIG has not touched previously. - Firesprite is working on a console release candidate for Theaters of War. This one is admittedly a comedy option, but considering if you're looking for a launch title, ToW is probably closer to completion than SQ42 by Holiday 2020. Be sure to welcome Firesprite and Icesprite to the CIG and Star Citizen family when CIG eventually reveals this 2018 partnership.  If CIG is greed grabbing for a console port I will enjoy the hellspawn shitstorm and burn all my ships to fuel the heat. PCMR.

VR at at most, what, 50 FPS? Backer money well spent. Another option is they are just doing barebones ToW for PC and that is it. Console stuff may be totally unrelated to SC.

Agony Aunt posted:Hate hate hate! Have you had your daily hate today? : Perfectly normal, healthy behavior to stalk fans and collect newspaper clippings about a fan forum for a video game because you don't think the video game is very good.I see it as less sad and more a serious cause for concern.  : To be honest i dont take them serious at all they are as dangerous as a box full of kittens to anyone or any game, the real danger is to there own mental health. A few of them are actually already broken or on the brink to brake just imagine what happens when the one of the game is released lol. The only one smart enough to leave that place was yo2momma as he got brutally humiliated as he proclaimed DS gospel at crytec was right and so was DS and the lawsuit was going directly in crytecs favor , the rest of them just keep vomiting bullshit with no strings to reality what so ewer.They doo deliver good comedy though :-P : To me they represent a much bigger and wider problem; they are propagators of misinformation and outrage culture

I’m so loving unhinged and deranged that I... make fun of the bad space game. Throw me in space jail, I’ve committed the most heinous crime imaginable. You know it’s not like SC is the laughing stock of the wider gaming community, among both consumers and developers; and we’re just the small subset of that overwhelming majority who follow this dumpster fire on a daily/weekly basis.

I hear that a great way to counter misinformation is to actually release a thing that disproves the misinformation. They should look into that

We can only pray that the people talking about misinformation are being paid to do so, because if there are fans out there like that, having that much irony in your bloodstream is not healthy.

Oh yeah, that was a good one. 1/12 of the year without development because everyone is waiting around for managment to make plans. This is clearly how a good games development company works.

render to texture was my fave because the backers absolutely insisted that it was some incredible new technique and nothing at ll like what happens in Half Life 2 with Breens broadcasts, and has been in games for decades. Then it was shown in a 30 second video to absolutely be exactly that, but in true CI¬G fashion, it was broken anyway

I’ve seen some really broken brained Citizens take this argument even further. They’ll throw in the entire month of December, the months leading up to CitCon and the month of CitCon itself, and call it all a wash. So really CIG only has 6-7 months out of a year to get any real work done.
