Yes.

Having a single database cluster is unheard of.

Why I bet they could sell this to Amazon. Imagine if you logged in from the webpage or the mobile app and your user and purchase history was there from when you bought something from the other app/page.

My goodness! Think of the possibilities!


Unfortunately this is taking the many realms from World of Warcraft, and having everyone connect to a single realm. Anything anyone does in any part of the world just gets tracked back to that single database.

I guess this will be super cute because it's possible you could see items appear and disappear as people who aren't on your network instance are interacting with junk and that's sent and recorded back to the single database to be distributed to clients.

Overall having stuff be persistent in the world itself in an MMO is just a corny and dumb idea that looks a lot more interesting than it will actually be. It's a lot of work (maybe, who knows what cig does) that will probably just be disabled or removed because nobody at cig seems to have the capability to imagine something being implemented in an MMO environment.

I feel like everyone thinks of a single player game like Skyrim, or the players will never blob together in a single area.

How many items can be in an area? How long will it be before somebody drops 200 watermelons and crashes the server? Silly. :)

It was the repeated invocation of "server meshing" that did it for me. For gently caress's sake, BG, just call server meshing "pixie dust," because that's what you're basically hoping it will be.

Look how much money they spent on making a studio to film videos talking about their video game. Any other video game company just makes a trailer video of game play but of course CIG can't do that cause they can't make the game so instead you get hundreds of hours of random CIG employee interviews.

At least the background looks nice well Jared explains why PES didn't pan out but the next miracle tech will surely be the one.

Cig doesn't play their own game so hard they steal screenshots off of Twitter to print on their own celebration cake.

Cig doesn't play their own game so hard the in-game community is apparently vile and complains about the game bunches... and nobody stops them because cig is nowhere to be found in the game.

So if you find yourself being banned or your threads closed or being moved to concern, just say the same stuff in-game. Nobody is there to stop you :lol:

Just saw an article about "Portal with RTX".

To me, it's a pretty weird concept that someone would have spent time on such a project when the original Portal is graphically fine, and apart from minor improvements to the lighting I can't even really imagine what it improves. For sure it won't improve the gameplay and the puzzles which are 100% Portal's selling point.

So I guess to start citizens it just got 10x better.

Fidelity. Wait, was I'm working on again?
I have a ray-tracing story (doesn't everyone?) that, in a roundabout way, is a Star Citizen cautionary tale (isn't everything?)

Back in college, I had taken a computer graphics course, and the final submission for the semester was a ray-traced scene of our choosing, and it had to include certain graphical elements that indicated what we had learned in class. Reflections, light through fog, that kind of thing.

Now this was back when the Amiga was brand new, and those were the systems we were expected to do the work on. This was not in the day of frames per second, or even seconds per frame. This was in the day of "let's leave this single wireframe scene rendering overnight and tomorrow we'll look at the first half of the picture and see if we need to abort, or if it looks like it will come out as expected."

Which is not the ideal condition for a guy who didn't do any of the work until the day it was due. Panic ensued, because no matter how much work I put in, I was up against the hard reality of how long this scene would take to render a final product, even if I had constructed it perfectly, which I had not. I was done for!

But was I? In my panicked haze a realization struck me - we weren't being graded on the work, we were being graded on the final product - which was a single scene of our own choosing. There was no way to know, after the fact, how that scene was constructed.

I set to work. Light streaming through a window? That's a 95% transparent cone with yellow lighting, placed by hand in a way that looked right to the eye. Reflections? That's what a horizontal or vertical flip is for, with a bit of distortion for good measure. Water reflection? Just smear it like Bob Ross did with his wet-on-wet approach to painting (thankfully I watched a lot of that as a kid.)

So my "fake" work earned an A. The moral of the story? In the real world, when you're trying to sell a product, you're judged on your output, not on the work you put in, or how you did the work. CIG's entire business model is based on being fellated for their bumbling attempts, when in a just world they would be castigated for their endless failure.

I dunno, I feel like $8.5K is rookie numbers.

quote:




Ironic eh? People are begging for information regarding Squadron 42 and you want them to shut up about it.

Here's the thing that makes me happy to hear - "we're playing it". They keep saying that this year "we're playing it". Nearly every team member who appears on camera is saying, "We're playing it".

Why do some people forget that the reason people go into the game making industry is because they are passionate about games, all games. They have played more games, know more about games that any 100 of us put together. I've met many of the team and this is the point that stands out, they have forgotten more about games than any one of us will ever know. If they are excited for a game, if they are playing it and it makes them believe enough to keep working on it rather than shove it out the door half assed then it's very very likely the rest of us are going to be blown away by it.

We never asked for the quickest, we never asked for the cheapest, we never asked for the easiest - we wanted, we supported and paid for, we have waited patiently for the best drat space game ever. I do not want them to rush it because of an impatient noisy few.

This is, and always has been the community's game project and not a single time that I have spoken to dev team members have they ever failed to appreciate that. They have gone far above what we asked them, they aren't just making a game to play a few times and forget they are making a whole game universe to tell endless amounts of stories in for years to come, a universe that will inspire other storytellers to come and join in. The detractors joke that our grandkids will be playing this game - YES EXACTLY - we have together made something that will last!

The best takes time and dedication from us as well as the development team members, the fact that we are seeing them using both in spades is a good indicator of how it is going, not a bad one.

I'm as impatient as any, and with over $8.5K given in support I think I'd have a right to be more impatient than the average BUT I NEVER WANTED A GAME JUST FOR ME, I could have gotten that for just $60.
I wanted the best drat game that could be made - FOR EVERYONE!
