After a hard day's T-posing, there's nothing I enjoy more than snacking on a pistol magazine.

He didn't do any TED talks but they did let him speak at GDC Online in 2012 when they had just barely received their initial funding goal. And I believe at a couple other tertiary GDC events in 2013 and 2014.

Spiderdrake posted:He did some presentations, yeah, that insane chart about how they'll have four times the effective money from crowdfunding is based on it. His Bafta and DICE presentations were both fantastic. The DICE one from February 2015 deserves special mention, as it finds our hero lecturing publishers and developers on Chris’s superior new model for building games AND community. The model for engagement that Chris lays out has mostly been abandoned by him since, but it’s nice to remember a time when they really did put out a new video “roughly every two days” because “muh community is special” and “this is the future” blah blah. Strange there was a time when Chris was so heavily courted for these types of speeches. “Please share the secret of your success, Futureman!” These days he couldn’t find a friendly industry crowd anywhere, and I’m not sure even a CitizenCon crowd would be very welcoming...

trucutru posted:No those are the Chinese caricatures. The tevarin are the bird ones that look double-plus-dumb Oh the bird race. Yeah. I remember those people.  Haven't seen those since the last time CR tried to rip off Man Kzin Wars as his own and introduce a new race.  Unfortunately though, he's already done bird people, or somebody back in the day added in bird people to wing commander. But I know creative juices are hard to get flowing, especially for certain kinds of people.

Neato. Skinny naked guy. Some sort of medieval warrior. Some sort of medieval monk. Looks like an actual race that has technology. Some sort of fat guy. As usual, it's the scrappy humans against races who's racial technology doesn't seem to match their story-level technology. You had one job, lore team.

I think a lot of Citizens would go to see fellow Citizens more than to get hyped on Chris’s latest vapor dream pitch is for 2022. Maybe I’m misreading things but I’m just not sure where the real enthusiasm still is.

I think a lot of Citizens would go to see fellow Citizens more than to get hyped on Chris’s latest vapor dream pitch is for 2022. I am convinced that Citizens have goldfish brains and that CIG is taking full advantage of this. The "IAE" in-game event is entirely designed to make them forget that none of the big ships they've already purchased are actually delivered, in order to get them pumped to buy the next big one. They do this with a myriad of tactics: * Display and hype up the million little useless fighters that have been released. In a static environment where actually taking them out and using them is prohibitively hard, so it's difficult to see how broken they mostly are. * Display a great big holographic model of the new ship for sale, so it looks like it's almost finished, and the Citizen forgets that it will be 4-6 years before it sees the light of day, and it will have 85 sales between now and then. * Relentlessly hype up the most recently released ship, even if it was the only ship released in the last eight or nine months, to establish the illusion that big ships are rolling out quickly * Make lots of sock puppet posts about game-theory to get the Citizens dreaming about the new spaceship's place in their fleet. Space mines! Recon! Carrier ops! * Make ominous dev posts about ship scarcity and how SUPPLIES ARE LIMITED to get the Citizen primed to buy as soon as they see the button enabled * Do not under any circumstances give updates on the old ships that are nowhere near completion. Do not remind Citizens that they've sunk hundreds into stuff that they're already waiting on.

Sadly, you can find long abandoned Kickstarter projects, where a few backers still haunt the comments section with the occasional "I still hope we get another update soon" or "hopefully we will get a release next year". There will always be the faithful ones and Store Citizen got those in big supply.
