colonelwest posted:It’s been fun to watch them walk back all of their promises of “physicalized” everything. The cargo decks were originally supposed to be these fully functioning industrial areas, where all of your cargo was unloaded off of your ship and NPCs and players would be handling complex machinery. Now it’s just more pointless/functionless space, where I guess you can pick up cargo missions, which you could previously do anywhere. right, because it's obviously an insane and endless rabbit hole. no level of physicalized anything will be good enough because there's always some constituent component that needs to be in place before you can build the next thing. like, okay, whose the guy that fills the big ben's noodle cup dispenser back up? who is his supplier? where is his ship and warehouse? where do the ships get stored when you store them? What happens to that cargo you dropped off 9 hours ago? where are the kegs for the space beer, obviously full of liquid? where do they get all of the hair to make a hairy roberts? for those following along at home, the answers are obviously: doesnt exist, doesnt exist, doesnt exist doesnt exist, doesnt exist, doesnt exist, chris roberts' backside. do the elevators actually move from point A to point B, or does the box you're standing in just teleport? if it's the former, then why is it good enough for that to be "real" but the rest so fake? if it's the latter, isn't that the same smoke and mirrors literally every game uses? the cognitive dissonance is bewildering.

cmdrk posted:Why does it simply "appear"? Shouldn't it be drawn from storage through a real elevator from the ship storage area? And all of the ships are loaded by RSI super tugs into the storage module where you can work as a warehouse worker to load and unload ships and cargo all day to earn enough credits to become captain of your own ship? Got a point.  I'm actually pretty pissed that clicking the spawn button doesn't create an order in the massive economy system which creates jobs for NPCs and people to go none for raw material, and then a factory to build that, a ship to deliver it, and then I see it arrive for real. This "spawn" bullshit is real kids game level poo poo that shouldn't be in SC.

Beexoffel posted:Thanks for this info! So there are other ways than motion capture to capture motion. I had been blinded by SC marketing and forget to consider other options. There's tons of ways. I have personally done stuff with blender where you can put some video reference on a plane or something and keyframe an animation based off of the video. It looks totally fine and didn't cost me millions of dollars or months cleaning up motion capture data and key framing minute details anyhow.

FOIP is another great thing CIG integrated because it was not their creation. It was a plug-in another company made for them that they could put into their ever growing list of random things to add to their smorgasbord of content. Probably the big issue with FOIP is that their systems are already struggling to get their network load in order, and instead of working on improving it they add in FOIP that is counter to the goal of a good gameplay experience. But as noted, it looks cool. This is kind of the only requirement SC actually has to getting something built vs delayed indefinitely. Does it look cool? Will it possibly help to sell more items? Will it help to look like we made progress? So you have a mostly broken game, sprinkled with a bunch of interesting features. The Titanic fucked around with this message at 00:57 on Oct 1, 2020 |

I don't know if you guys are talking about Indigo Montoya or just making GBS threads on citizens. If it's Indigo Montoya, then you have tp understand that he has dedicated his entire life to the sword. He has trained drunk, trained left handed, trained while starving, etc. He trained with the sword in every possible condition and with every possible swordmaster, just so he can kill the cocksucker that took his dad out. That's why Montoya seems "weird." But if you guys are just dunking on unlikeable citizens then please throw that creep WTFasaurus on the List. I really don't like him. He always seemed like a weirdo but when he tried to rage gently caress that lady streamer on halloween or whatever I instantly began to hate him.

HexiDave posted:This nightmare scenario is entirely their fault, and it's exactly what's going to happen forever if the game were to release. I mean the PvP thing (who was the spectrum citizen who was like... psychotically afraid of pvp?) always will bring that out. Even without that hilarity, though, this thing they think will change the world would be the most boring poo poo to engage with. Their legendary bounty hunter, fresh from taking out a high value target... has to land, pay the docking fee manually by talking to an NPC, carry the body to the train station, wait for ten minutes, catch a fifteen minute train ride to the city, hail a spacetaxi, load the body into the trunk, get in the taxi, wait through traffic for 20 minutes, get out, pay the fare, remove the body, wait in line for the processing NPC, record his details on form 287-A, drop the body off, wait for verification and payment, find somewhere to eat, use the bathroom, trek all the way back to his ship, mix a cold Hairy Roberts, sit down at his spacedesk to manually pay his spacebills, hand-reload ordnance into the ship... and nine hours of real time play later he's ready to sleep for the day in his hilariously designed bedroom. This sounds like an indie project game focusing on these specific interactions to show how much tedium gets abstracted away in real games.

Even without that hilarity, though, this thing they think will change the world would be the most boring poo poo to engage with. Even the real-life equivalents of this kind of minutiae are bearable due to a million factors that can't be in a game. While waiting for a taxi you might smell coffee from a nearby cafe, or hear a song you haven't heard in years that makes you think of what was happening the last time you did hear it, you might overhear a goofy conversation, etc. In real life all those things matter because they're part of the tapestry of reality. Even things that appear to have nothing to do with you could be linked in some way, now or in the future. In Chris Roberts's mental defecation, nothing ever means anything or will mean anything except here's something he saw in a movie once and is reproducing wrong and badly.

I was thinking, Even if SC comes out today with all the things they want working fine it will still just be a spaceship game with a limited audience. All this extra stuff they are spending on really doesn't have much appeal outside of handful of people and half will probably just want it removed after realizing walking around buying fake food and doing dumb jobs is boring, they could have just made a normal space ship game.

The CitCon is cancelled for this year, due to the COVID-19 impact which, at least for the developers of this nightmarish project must have been a great relief. At least they won't have to crunch for weeks, dropping everything to make special builds on whatever pipe dream Crobbler had with sandworms and space wormholes. Especially since this year, with all the fierce competition from Squadrons, No Man's Sky update(s), ED: Odyssey previews, Starfield potential leaks, they'd have to go bonkers to output a comparatively impressive fake demo (and then rehearse the scripting and fake gameplay of it). Not to mention having to explain again what happened to all the stuff they showed last year as coming soon, that they did not complete and are nowhere near finished or at a decent level of development. However: quote:Despite these unfortunate and unforeseeable circumstances, we plan to celebrate our community with events in the ‘verse throughout the year. And we still plan to celebrate Star Citizen’s birthday on October 10, but doing so digitally. This will not be a virtual CitizenCon, but it will be an online celebration with our community. So, stay tuned for updates on that in the near future. Have they celebrated the community this year at all? And also, considering the upcoming birthday, what is the accepted "age" of Star Citizen these days?

You'll obviously pay some cheap idiot who didn't buy a ship with LTI to drag your corpses through the city. You'll just go to sauna to enjoy your Hairy Roberts with other concierge, while your corpse dragging slave mops your ship and carry the corpse in a train

Obviously it is just the rest of the world takeing it out of context! Lots of money goning in = not a scam ! His zelous defence of SC really highlights the gaping wholes in logic you need to cover up to be happy with CIG.

DigitalPenny posted:Looking foward to another hazy glimps into world of financial engineering ! They do have to show the price paid when shares are purchased from the company itself. So in their 2018 accounts they showed £111 of share capital with a share premium account of £16.7m. The first £100 of shares contributed £198k to that premium account. This is the difference between what is paid to the company for the shares and their par value. When shares change hands between shareholders, the only thing that changes to the company itself is who owns the shares. There's no additional share premium etc because that's all unrelated to the company.
