colonelwest posted:But I think we will eventually get some version of SQ42, it seems like the investors will force that. I can’t wait to experience Chris’ moronic vision of WW2 in space but with Space Rome vs the Space Visigoths, and a cast of A list actors forced to speak his sub-90’s-sitcom-tier dialogue. That setup isn't even entirely stupid as far as videogame settings go, if it was done professionally and cleverly (i.e. with sufficient ham) enough. However, I fear that Chris takes SQ71's plot seriously. Can't wait!

Not that this shitshow would ever actually get released but Cyberpunk's release will send the entire game back into a complete refactor ensuring 10 more years of funding The city, the NPC variety, the weapon variety etc - Star Citizen will of course promise to be better in every area

phosdex posted:dynamic I can almost feel people trying to become software development experts and trying to rationalize the gibberish bullshit CIG barfs out to be logical. The reality is they are way, way out of their depth and skill, and are inventing things they hope will solve the myriad of problems they are facing. These gibberish comments are singular to CIG because no company comes up with dumb stuff like that. You very much use industry standard verbiage and you implement industry standard techniques. Nobody is going to write fake technical terms on their resume unless they never want to get a job anywhere. The real technical term for what CIG needs to do to successfully fix the huge swath of super complex bugs they've created over a near decade of band aids and object extending is "start over". And ideally I'd even use a more advanced phrase like "start over with an actual design plan". And if you want to get into Star Trek techno babble land I'd say "start over with an actual design plan that was made by senior design architects who have significant experience in the MMO industry and are supported by equally senior developers with similar experience, bolstered by mid-level and jr-developers to help everything get done reasonably fast". Anything except this and you're going to soon be saying how "iCache" is only going to kick in in version 5.32.1 and the real winner that will solve everything is "subQuantify" tech they now claim is the sure winner but that relies on "server parallel striation" to finish and they'll totally nail that in another year. And also it will take even longer to make because their code degraded by leaps and bounds every time they release something, and all their current devs are out of their depth. CIGs biggest issue though is if they can even attract the talent they need to build a successful project? My opinion there is probably not. At least not without huge bonuses and benefits, and major changes to their management structure. These guys need to be given room to work and they can not be undermined by somebody who's last experience was cheating an EMM386 error message to show when the game crashes closed.

Is there any feature in this game that is considered "finished and working"? Maybe not at dreams.txt level, but is just "done" Every update is always in present tense, but I haven't seen anything that is actually "we completed X and we move on to something else" The only thing I have is "walking in a corridor that isn't near any doors"

No other game developer has the guts to attempt stuff like this cause publishers demand they add in more microtransactions.

The idea that CI hasn’t managed to stand up a persistent storage solution in 9 years, while I managed to write a criminally overengineered first cut at a service that did write-back caching (more or less) with constant management interference BY MYSELF in less than a year means that I’m surely a turbonerd hypergenius savant. I’m an idiot.

Nice to see SC is still going. However, as time passes I have an increasingly hard time understanding why people still give money to CIG. - First of all, it's a profit-oriented company. They aren't the backers friends and their currently released product is objectively utter garbage. - They promise since 8 years to improve if backers give them more money. However, over the last two years there was marginal progress and the bugs even got worse. Also, SQ42 is still missing in action. - In addition to the point above, they make up technological terms and pretend to do industry-changing stuff, but nothing of it is in the PU. Since years. It's just words. - Now the head-honcho shits a wall of text into their forum, talking about unimportant fluff like localization and a minor feature. It's like... "Elon, my car breaks down every 10 miles and I have to call a mechanic. I paid 55k for it, what is going on?" and he responses with how nice the windscreen wiper looks. I mean, how can anyone still believe the CIG-marketing at this point? Would the backers still buy whatever brand if it doesn't work for 8 years and all they hear is "give more money, then it will work eventually"? It's hard to believe there are people that stupid with that much money to spare.

So is quantum fuel as stupid as I think it is? It's a liquid fuel that powers the FTL drive and is separate from the fuel that powers the rest of the ship? Like what exactly is it and where does it come from? Why does the FTL need a different fuel? That's like having a fighter jet that has a different type of fuel for Mach speeds.

I was telling my coworker about this sad shitshow, and one of the things they still haven't managed to accomplish that you require for a MMO to work is the save state. Like If I log out in say WoW at a specific point in the world, I will spawn into the world in the same place when I log back in. SC can't even handle this simple task and you have to still sink 20 minutes or more trying to even get your ship to spawn. Spaceship game holy rule #1 is "get the loving player in a ship asap" and they somehow don't understand that.

No, it's pretty standard sci-fi stuff. FTL is by our current understanding of physics is impossible so space operas generally invent some device that changes physics. Sometimes that device just need a shitload of power so the magic space fuel is just some way to generate a shitload of power which powers the FTL drive and the ship and other times the FTL itself needs a special fuel while the rest of the ship needs a separate power system.

If you have ftl or even just artificial gravity in your sci fi universe you might as well go full Destiny style space magic. Anti grav and ftl are so far beyond our current conception of technology that trying to cram it into any sort of "realistic" universe makes all your social, technological and ecological assumptions completely irrelevant.
