Breetai posted:To my recollection, Jim Sterling mentioned it during his spin-off doctors podcast about the wing commander movie, and basically said that with everything that had happened, he would need to hire an intern full-time for like a month in order to really do the story justice. This was in February 2017. That’s the big barrier to anyone diving in and giving an informed opinion on Star Citizen. You have sift through 12 years of a never ending stream of bullshit from CIG and the insane cult that props it up. It’s doable for a long form documentary maker like Folding Ideas, but the ROI just isn’t there for a niche within niche subject that has faded from the mainstream gaming consciousness. So weekly video makers who just dip their toes in like Linus Tech Tips always wind up giving some wishy washy review along the lines of “it’s buggy and awkward,but has potential!”. colonelwest fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Mar 14, 2024 |

The first game was farting and laughing to yourself self satisfiedly, and thus, star citizen is the longest pre alpha at roughly 6,000,000 years of development

I'm more interested in the eventual post-mortems anyway (after CIG closes its doors/releases an actual product, whichever comes first); if folks want to hold off on doing the heavy research and analysis until then, that's fine, it'll make for more interesting reading/viewing. And if it turns out that there's no money left to enforce NDAs by then and we get a flood of insiders coming out to tell all, so much the better. What I'm not looking forward to is five to ten years after CIG is defunct, when we're going to be inundated with listicles claiming that Star Citizen is one of the all-time greatest games that was killed off unjustly, taking all of the random idiotic things the shitizens believed as gospel truth.

Chris has written a new Letter from the Chairman, finally something's happened. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/19848-Letter-From-The-Chairman quote:While we recognize that there is no definitive finish line in an online MMO, and that we will always be adding new features and content for many, many years to come, Star Citizen 1.0 is what we consider the features and content set to represent “commercial” release. This means that the game is welcoming to new players, stable, and polished with enough gameplay and content to engage players continuously. In other words, it is no longer Alpha or Early Access. There it is, officially wiping the "100 star systems at release" from memory. Also great description of what release is "In other words, it is no longer Alpha or Early Access", thanks for clearing that up for us CIG.

quote:On Squadron 42 that is taking the game from Feature Complete to Content Complete, ensuring the game has the necessary polish and feels worthy of being the spiritual successor to Wing Commander. To this end the team is hard at work, heads down, driving towards the finish line. I am incredibly excited about how the game is shaping up and we will have more to share with you at this year’s CitizenCon, which will be held in Manchester, England. So, they will share some Squadron 42 in October. I'm not so sure it's ready for an imminent surprise release.

Los Angeles, while shrinking, will still be an important office for the company, but one focusing on a business support role with Marketing, Finance, Legal and HR.

Just so you know, if that ever happens (which it won't), you don't have to do that (and you shouldn't). Life's too short and too precious to be giving money to Chris Roberts. Besides, if it ever released, Star Citizen would either move directly into free-to-play within a year, or be heavily discounted in some bundle with a bunch of other bad games after a year.

CIG seems to be laying the groundwork to actually announce a release window for SQ42 this CitCon. I know we've been down this road before but I think it'll actually happen this time around. That said they also seem to be laying the groundwork for a SC 1.0 release in the vague future but it's also not going to have the 100 star systems or anywhere near what they've promised over the years.

As Rich said, over the past few months, our teams have been busily planning the upcoming major milestones for the Persistent Universe, culminating in what we refer to as "Star Citizen 1.0." As that roadmap comes together and becomes validated, we look forward to sharing with you both its vision and executional plan later this year. colonelwest fucked around with this message at 02:04 on Mar 15, 2024 |

Know then, that it is the year 4242. The known universe is ruled by the Citizen Emperor Croberts the Fourth, my father. In this time, the most precious possession in the universe are starship JPEGs. The JPEGs extend fundraising. The JPEGs are an investment. The JPEGs are vital to space travel. CIG and their developers, who the JPEGs have uplifted for over 4000 years, use server meshing which gives them the ability to fold space. That is, travel to any part of the universe without loading screens. Oh yes, I forgot to tell you - the JPEGs exist in only one game in the entire universe, a feature complete early alpha game with vast star systems. Hidden away within the stations of these systems are a people known as the Backers, who have long held a prophecy that a man would come, a messiah, who would lead them to true freedom. The game is Star Citizen, also known as

Happy Sisyphus posted:Is the distinction between 'Feature Complete' and 'Content Complete' common in the wider games industry, or is this another development innovation peculiar to CIG? 'Feature Complete' is the list of things Mr Robert Space wants in the perfect game he describes with gesticulatory apoplexy in four hour stand ups (wherein he is the only one seated). 'Content Complete' includes transcribed recordings, with all references to vitamins removed, of his nightly fitful murmurings. Taken down by four interns seated behind bullet proof glass so as to not interrupt his 'flow'. This is game development in a nut shell. Layering in the code is really an after thought.

Feature complete generally means all the final systems etc are in place. Content complete means that everything is done and ready for polish/testing. For an example: A system that supports side quests - feature All the side quests themselves - content

I am also getting the vibe from the letter that Crobbers is eyeing the exits; new guy Rich gets co-credit for Star Citizen's exciting march towards 1.0, groundwork is laid for 1.0 being far less than was promised, the recent layoffs were PERFECTLY NORMAL BUSINESS because obviously you don't need so many people now, etc., etc.. Like if 1.0 comes out, he's going to take a long vacation and just never come back to the office, quietly editing the corporate paperwork to make it clear he was only a creative director and now his work is done and the project has been handed off as planned, vaya con dios, chumps. I mean, that's probably wishful thinking on my part, but god, I would laugh if it happened.

Azubah posted:So he did fake that? I heard about it but didn't know if there was a follow up on that. Nobody who knew him IRL was worried, his cowriter said there was nothing to worry about. And he had put "I did something stupid" (aka self-harm) stuff in his other not-apologies, so it was really hard to believe he'd actually done anything vs he does this so people would quit being mean about his thievery. He also kept uploading monetized videos. In his note, he tried to act like it was automatic uploads after death, but then he was deleting comments on them still. So it's just a black hole of scum as far as he's concerned.
