Planet that's rumored to have giant Sandworms but once you get there it's all smoke and mirrors. gently caress it, the whole planet is smoke and mirrors/holograms. Robber's Sphere of Illusions they call it, and whatever dreams you dream up, they can make it. Snow plantes, cloud planets, alien invasions, being stuck in a prison? You name it, it's there. Only thing is you have to play it all out for the world to see how you act your dream. Acting guarantees Citizneship! Only it's revealed only really rich and boring people go there, so it's not very fun, but fully realistic - they don't have the createst creative minds so they just recycle what they've seen.

I know I shouldn't let it piss me off but the idea that they've been working on this loving mess hall scene for the better part of a decade is infuriating.

How many planets is the game up to now? When I was last reading I think there were maybe 4? Have the pipelines opened up?

Ooo- I like this. The game could be like one of those films where it all takes place in one room. The whole game takes place in the mess hall. Think of the dramatic tension- will there be enough potato? (It would explain why fixing the flight model doesn’t seem to be a priority)

My take on the big move Chris lives in LA and by his proximity progress from the Austin studio has been glacial. Calders are pissed and have moved from demanding progress to changes. Manchester have been left unmolested by Chris during the pandemic and have started making steady progress. A desperate Chris is now doing a trans Atlantic body dive to be near the progress. He has throw Austin under the bus but gives no shits so long as he can be associated with working parts of CIG for when Calder's come storming through if they have not already.

I for one wish I could afford a brand new mansion, and also the ability to just move across the ocean at a whim to live anywhere (probably in a rental house at enormous expense) to make a video game happen after 10 years

The thing with Store Citizer is that they paid both too much attention to the set dressing, and not enough. Most of the big common spaces look like the Beverly Center ca. 2007, or any other expensive mall of that era. Except for the “edgy”planet that looks like the interiors from Tank Girl crossed with the exteriors from original recipe Blade Runner. And the loving mess hall just looks like all the mess halls from Star Trek.

got booted from Freelancer earlier, but you can see how from the beginning, the design choices when you visit planets and stations are there are window-dressing that they paid too much attention to.

Script for the mess hall scene: Dick Starwalker enters the mess, and get a high five from a bald guy... they miss each other's hand by at least 2 feet. but thats ok, the sound effect played so that means It Totally Happened. Dick grabs a tray and head to the buffet. the eggs look real good... Dick uses his bionic vision to zoom into an egg and sees the actual atoms that make it up, each lovingly modelled in CryEngine 3. Dick loves his eggs. End scene. total cost: 128 million dollars.

Alpha 3.14 Patch Watch | Thrusters Tuning, Ships, and a Power Triangle Updatequote:Please keep in mind that this is just the first step in wider combat balancing. The aim is to achieve a workable, archetypal class balance for our fighters that will serve as a solid foundation for further development in subsequent patches. After Alpha 3.14, each ship can be balanced according to its in-game and in-fiction role without disturbing the overall combat experience of the game. 10 years and over hundred sold ship jpgs and they're again starting to look into having different flight models for different ship roles for their spaceship combat game?

Got to say, LOD looks ugly: While I personally don't really care for graphics (I still regularly play Simcity 3000 and to lesser extent SC2K), but lofi graphics do need have a bit of charm to them. You can't have an "AAA presentation" with low graphics, you got to own the old school graphics vibe.

tuo posted:I mean, the art direction there is really awful, but if the strut is close enough to your eyes, you don’t actually see it. True. I'm just gonna assume I'm right. The visor can't be that close to the face. And if somebody comes up with contradicting evidence, I'm gonna stick to my guns and die on that hill. In true spirit of the Warlord and his abomination of a game.
