I can't wait until Star Citizen has cost more than the space program and meanwhile the Mormons are halfway to Tau Ceti for half the cost.

From a comment on another forum quote:I have kind of a unique view of Amazon Game Studios: I have good friends (former coworkers) who were working on Crucible for years, and I personally was involved with Intensity and another project (Sculpin) as an art outsource contracting manager (I ran the art team tasks day-to-day and was the US point of contact for the Amazon team). We all lived the stupidity that was Lumberyard, in various ways. I had to do a double take that it wasn't a CI

TheAgent posted:just a reminder that tony "dagod" z hasn't released a loving game since 1995 I actually thought this couldn't possibly be true. But yes, he doesn't have a single credit since 1996 on the Crusader sequel. Since then all he did was help Chris fail at Digital Anvil and then transition to legal and financial software. Definitely the kind of guy that should be at the top of the company.

The engine wasn't even near ready for release, though. Developers had to create dozens of workarounds, code new lighting, texture and physics into the engine; among a million other things. It was a notoriously dumb move that cost EA tens of millions of dollars and several years of dev time.

TheAgent posted:just a reminder that tony "dagod" z hasn't released a loving game since 1995 This was something of the heyday of Origin it felt where they started to shine bright while simultaneously starting to decline for some reason, before that big push into 3D with their common IPs which ultimately totally did them in it seemed. Not sure if this used the Fallout engine, I think those were different things. But this did share a couple of Crusader games and Ultima 8, which was panned as being the worst Ultima ever until 9 came out in 3D.

tacit posted:From a comment on another forum As far as engines go, if you're not going to roll your own for your project, you may as well license Unreal. It's super easy to work with, super powerful, has great support, enough tutorials that you can make a game with it just form YouTube alone, and so long as you know something about programming you can actually make it fairly performant. It's very friendly in the tools of offers to help you make it that way also, even doing a lot of it for you if you just know where to press some button. Runner up would be Unity I think, but that's open to opinion there. Something like CryEngine is just gone, and if you chose it you're going to be blown away. The longer you take with it the faster you're going to be lapped even by Unity features and looks.

Civ, Colonization, Pirates!, pretty much everything Microprose put out was a hit for me, Gunship, F19 Stealth...

Bootcha posted:For all this time and work and money... When I played it some time ago, it felt like a walking simulator with some survival mechanics. The space game part felt sort of tacked on like a completely different game to the walking simulator side. The levels were way too large but what it boiled down to was a few computer screens were interactive and I could talk to a couple of NPCs. When you shove it in an oven to cook out what you can do, it probably is a pretty small list.

If you're using any means of communication other than what's included in Star Citizen then that's basically cheating posted:The reasons why using anything other than using SC communication is cheating is simple to understand. There are many events within the game that would hinder or even prevent communicating with anyone, let alone team mates:

I feel this might be a decently common question, but it wasn't asked in at least the last three pages. I gave Chris Roberts 35$ in 2012 to produce something like wing commander, it is now 2021 and I basically completely forgot about this game after it started appearing that poo poo was going way off the rails. What currently is the state of this train wreck, and has my money been well spent by him to produce such a thing or is it still pre-alpha stuff?

Defenestrategy posted:I feel this might be a decently common question, but it wasn't asked in at least the last three pages. As much as anything else money has been going to fundraising. It's an endless cycle where they never are satisfied they have enough money, so they concentrate money on fundraising.... necessitating yet more money. So they keep adding (sorta! Lol) new ships to the game to sell while older ships and basic game mechanics languish in obscurity. The game definitely qualifies as pre alpha given the lack of basic important technology such as server meshing and engine features to support years-old mechanics like the Hull series and docking. About the only signs of light at the end of the tunnel are more realistic recent assessments of how the game will actually need to work like soloing events off into their own servers ala dungeons. Bear in mind thats just about the MMO. As far as the wing-commander game that was promised lmfao. They just keep lying about it, noone knows what the deal is there.
