It's amazing, and somehow sad, he really does think he's making a game. It's like those toy steering wheels you give your kid in the back seat to keep him busy.

MedicineHut posted:14:42 if the time thing doesn't work. I am not a developer, nevermind a network developer, but even I can tell by the answer of this dude that they are trully and royally hosed: "We are also looking at getting two servers talking to each other". In other words, as I suspected years ago, they haven't done jack poo poo on server meshing. Nothing. Nada. Zero. Nil. They loving haven't STARTED on it yet. In year 8 of developping their MMO and selling their playerbase the idea of grand dynamic server meshing that's always around the corner. If that isn't a SCAM I dunno what is. It mind boggles me that none of their fans seem to care.

Eyes wide as the spaceship croons overhead and jams itself into the mouth of a fan in a violent ninety degree handbreak turn that stuns the engine into displaying less frames than seconds "Fool proof doesn't mean that fools can't wreck it," a developer states. "It means the proof is in the fool that hands over money." More screaming, some of joy, some of pain, some of deadlines never to be seen again

They're still having CitizenCON this year right? I thought they were doing that digitally. Also, there's a new Dune film (supposedly) coming out in December... I expect the sandiworm to make another appearance.

Dooguk posted:Was this done in Cryengine? It’s a demo of CIG’s procedural fauna tech. It’s so advanced that it simulated hundreds of millions of years of evolution on an alien planet similar to Earth (which will be released as part of a future star system) and produced aquatic mammals nearly identical to our Hippos, but with some small but complex morphological and behavioral differences. I could explain much more about this amazing tech, but you’d really have to be a CTO to fully comprehend it.

Hadn't CIG been making the game for ages when they realised the engine had a built in by default water level? Or did I remember this wrong?

Nothing was going to stop that because as the publisher, they control when the game is released whether it's ready or not. Same thing happened with Anthem. It simply needed more time and more work but EA didn't want to wait. They wanted their money right away.

Except that EA Games did not ruin Anthem, Bioware did. EA had to step in and ask Bioware what the gently caress they were doing, because they were multiple years into development with absolutely nothing to show for it, and then Bioware made the choice to finish Anthem within 9 months. And how did Bioware do this? By forcing their employees to work 100 hour weeks for all 9 months of development. EA keeps being made out to be the bad guy in all of this stuff, but then you find out well after the fact that these game studios that EA has to reign in, were poorly managed.

It's similar to how EA didn't ruin ME3. The ending did. When the backlash to the ending happened, EA gave Bioware money to fix it, hence the Extended Cut or whatever. EA knew Bioware had murdered their golden goose! The blame for ME3, Andromeda, and Anthem rests entirely on Bioware's shoulders.

The publishers are terrible myth is a huge part of why this scam exists. It reached fever pitch around the time of the kickstarter and as with every other bad idea in the giant floating shitberg the citizens continue to double down on it. EA and all publishers exist to facilitate something within the gamedev system. There's plusses and minuses. Star Citizen perfectly demonstrates it but nothing can fight dreams.txt to the moron citizens.

EA knew Bioware had murdered their golden goose! The blame for ME3, Andromeda, and Anthem rests entirely on Bioware's shoulders. Well, mostly on their shoulders. IIRC, the switch to the Frostbite engine was both a terrible, studio-crushing idea and a mandate straight from EA, and also a lot of the flailing Bioware did with Anthem was because EA wanted a game-as-a-service and Bioware didn't tell them "that's not something we have any idea how to do or would want to try doing, so we're not going to do it." Arguably, both of those are Bioware's leadership failing to establish a good enough relationship with their publisher to be able to sell their own vision for what they should be doing (and maybe even failing to have a vision for what they should be doing), but it's clear that EA's earned its studio-killer reputation fair and square, so who can say? Maybe nobody could have talked their way out of that disaster, no matter how much money they brought in.

What blows me away about this whole thing is that all people wanted was an updated Freelancer, initially. Freelancer is absolutely not a complicated game. It has very basic systems. Like, the roadmap was there, how do you gently caress that up?

With every pledge they decided they could do so much more. And they got a lot of pledges by selling dreams.txt The initial demo was built on technology that doesn't work for this and every step forward has created great farting echoes through the project that management is unable to walk back. Which leads to: This is a full blown DNF situation. Mismanaged trend chasing with one very big change: It's not led by capable people, so capable people under them - who are in demand in the industry - simply leave. You have an arrogant blowhard moron at the top convinced that the money being pledged implies all his ideas are cool and good, so a constant endless loop continues. It won't end for a long time with the situation locked in like this.

You end up trying be to create the idea of what the game was. With no-one there to inject reality checks you just feature creep to hell.

I don't know specifics but they did acknowledge a while ago how poo poo it is to work with Frostbite even though it is powerful, so they've been investing a lot into the Frostbite team to make it less poo poo in recent years. If we use Respawn as a bellwether, they stuck with their modified Source engine for Apex and went with UE4 for Fallen Order, which seems fairly indicative of the state of Frostbite. It will probably be a good sign for Frostbite if we see a game from Respawn using it.
