Can someone tell me at what point the backers rotated from regarding Chris as the messiah , to now tony z ? How does Chris feel about being toppled as the programming wunderkind he so proudly parroted every interview he could attend ? It’s almost like there is a change of power happening behind the scenes , as the new narrative is “tony will fix everything!”

Blue On Blue posted:Can someone tell me at what point the backers rotated from regarding Chris as the messiah , to now tony z ? There's always been a little bit of it; "Tony Z is a professional who knows how to translate a vision into a fun game" has been a central tenet of the Citizens' faith from the beginning, right alongside "Erin Roberts is an experienced project lead who can keep Chris Roberts on task." Tony has usually been treated like a star at their Citizen cons, being the guy who'll speak for over an hour about complicated, detailed dreams.txt stuff to fuel theorycrafting for the next year. Plus, he has the haunted, mournful eyes of an extremely depressed sheepdog, which makes him look like he's been working 20+ hour days to make Star Citizen actually happen. More recently, Chris Roberts has completely checked out of being the public face of the project -- either voluntarily or because the investors who have CIG's junk in an iron grip have ordered it -- and with Erin also no longer appearing in front of cameras (perhaps no lens is wide-angle enough anymore?), Tony Z's been promoted to being their official Visionary And Legendary Game Developer and living proof that not everyone who was there for the kickstarter has left the building yet. I don't know if CIG is officially laying the groundwork for Tony Z to be the new CEO and properly anointed heir to Chris Roberts' glorious empire while Chris pulls a Lord British and scurries out the back door with a mumbled "My work here is done!", because god, who the gently caress even knows or cares what their project management situation is, other than "toxic beyond any hope of recovery."

If anyone's looking for an easy way to tell whether Chris Roberts is still actively involved at CIG, here's the best way: - If they talk about work on the Mess Hall Scene for Squadron 404, he's still there and employees have to listen to him - If they don't talk about work on the Mess Hall Scene for Squadron 404, he's probably still there and employees are probably still listening to him - If someone at CIG tweets or subtweets something about not having to work on the Mess Hall Scene anymore, then Chris is gone for good, and it wasn't a voluntary departure The Mess Hall is Roberts' white whale: he will never let it go willingly.

He can never be purged! See what happened when Sean Tracy went rogue, trying to make ToW quick and snappy and fun. It died horribly. Chris can kill a project just by looking at it. He can turn an opponent blue with a thought. The mess hall will go on forever... Pixelate fucked around with this message at 23:42 on Jan 31, 2021 |

The minute he either fucks off to a gilded retirement or is pushed out by the investors, there will be a rush to slap some sort of releasable product together and get it out the door.

When he launched this project he launched it on his abilities and prior games. I don't think it's an accident that this sort of "cult of personality" about him has sprung up. He was forced out once before, he'd take steps to make it hard for someone to do it again. His first protection against this was the lack of publisher, but now he has investors to contend with. "The backers will revolt on you, and funding will dry up if you try to remove me from the project" will be his ace in the hole should the investors try to give him the boot.

Should I bother looking up my account? I mean, try it if it doesn't cost you anything, but every glitch video I just posted was taken from the first two pages of the subreddit. I don't find the flight model very compelling, personally- it is very much noclip-with-inertia, and the desync shown in that video happens all too often. If I were you I'd wait for a free fly week.

As a long time backer and subscriber I would like to hear more from Tony Z. So Jared please give us a Monthly update show with Tony Z! Maybe 10 for Tony Z, similar to 10 for the Chairman. quote:Now you understand why I'm not concerned about the project as long as Tony and Brian Chambers are still a part of the project. quote:Tony Z has been a significant INFLUENCE towards Star Citizens legendary and top tier qualification and authentication of being the space sim sci-fi open-world masiveely-shared sandbox experience that it can be.

I think they are trying to branch out away from games into things that don't need to move or have physics though like creating a 3d digital recreation of an area.

Or I guess if you're sci-fi geek like those backers are, the genre is full of examples where the bridge crew or handful of individuals do everything and save the world while the rest of the crew is just polishing pipes and dying or something, so they're maybe primed to see the world in this way, I don't know.

no_recall posted:I take it as every CitCon is a fundraising event. CI It's just as advanced as Bitcoin really, with some soubtle differences. Bitcoin works by having the people around the world solve hard math problems to eliminate fraud in transactions of its own virtual currency. This currency has generally been accepted to have some value by limiting the total number of coins in existence. It's traded across the world and has provided some value to many people. CIG works by having 600 people generate it's virtual currency of jPegs. It's works by failing to solve basic problems and maximizing fruad in its transactions. These .jpegs are generally accepted of having no value. They are limmitless in number and have only served to enrich chris. Like a FinTech startup they claim to have made no profit so far.
