Hey, why does a closed door have a button that says "CLOSE" on it, anyway? Can you double-close it? Or did they mean it to say "CLOSED," so even commandos would know not to try walking through it?

Don't worry this will be fixed in Closed 2.0

I am genuinely curious if they actually make any money this year, or if the whales manage to exercise some loving self restraint after a year with almost nothing delivered and nothing on the horizon.

Have we learned nothing? All the whale ships will be sold in seconds.

That was me at least a few times. :)

Based on the quality of the animations and the number of years that have gone by and the number of skeleton changes we have heard rumors about, my theory is probably most of the major motion capture is completely useless as far as getting the data directly from the actor into the system.

What they are most likely using it for at this point is some kind of reference point, by having the animation playing as a movie in their modeling program while people are hand-key framing animation over it. Sort of like 3D rotoscoping or animation retopology.

There's really nothing wrong with that technique and in a lot of cases it can be faster than trying to actually use motion capture data, especially since you still need to hand animate a considerable amounts on top of fixing any errors that may have slipped in during an import.

That's fair. But space captain Davos Seaworth still looks pretty dead-eyed for awhile there.

I’m actually pretty surprised CIG hasn’t leaned more heavily on Covid as an explanation for all their recent problems.

Covid doesn't affect wealthy people like Chris Roberts, locked away in his gated Palisades, or floating around the Med on his charter yacht. It's no surprise it's a blind spot to him, it impinges on his life in absolutely no way at all, unless perhaps Bonita doesn't turn up to clean the bogs because she's gone down with it, or the pool's a bit leafier than usual because Raul's dad passed away of it last week.

I’m fully expecting CP2077 to be a technical mess at launch and require months of patches to fix performance issues and bugs. This will of course be followed by walls of text by Citizen-CTOs about how this means Star Citizen is good.

they should have just scrapped the last gen ports and stuck with the new gen only. Guess it was something like 8m projected units lost if they did that though, but it's still going to be a complete loving mess on ps4/xone systems

honestly when they first delayed to November I thought they would just go full bore next gen, guess not

Attention Citizens,

Breaking news! You heard earlier today that Richard Garriott’s Shroud of the Avatar will feature an item designed by Chris Roberts useable in-game… and we’ve decided to return the favor! If you back both Star Citizen and Shroud of the Avatar at the $40 Adventurer level or higher, we’ll give your pilot in Star Citizen a powerful crossbow straight out of Richard’s new world… perfect for providing an extra-lethal punch during boarding actions. The Shroud of the Avatar Kickstarter campaign ends in just twelve hours, so make your pledge NOW!

If you would like to pledge via Paypal you can do so here.

Weapon Description: Iolo Industries Armor-Piercing Crossbow

Some things never go out of style, and the Iolo Crossbow is proof: an elegant weapon that has proved itself capable of repelling boarders effectively time and again over the centuries. It stands well above laser sidearms in terms of armor penetration, the ideal weapon for anyone needing to blast through two inches of plasteel space armor. Designed and hanf-crafted by David Watson, these rare crossbows are prized by pilots for their reliability and their low level of required maintenance. This weapon is an exact replica of the one created for Richard “Lord British” Garriott’s Shroud of the Avatar so you can arm your character with it in both universes!

Damage: 2 cm / bolt (+3 against armor)
Reload: .5 seconds
Effective Range: 500 meters
UEE Restriction: RED

Lowtax over the past decade or so has hardly been apart of the forums or really done much with the website at all besides very minimal maintenance.

i love how another game annoces a delay of a few weeks, a month ahead of time. And the citizens are doing victory laps like its going out of style.

The two are not compareable.

The task of realeasing on all platforms, in a dozen diffrent languages all across the world at the same time is a daunting task.

CIG havent been able to fart out a half working anything on any platforms with tripple the resources.
