Britton Watkins has been working on the languages for well over a year now.

Kind of a bummer if this has been his focus the entire time and he fleshed out two languages for a non-game.

I was lost for a long time due to buttcoin not collapsing in a cataclysmic event. The last thread drat well saved my soul.

Well yeah, it just seems like a significant investment of time and creativity that will forever have this baggage. "I spent two years creating two languages for that infamous hosed up scam" sucks compared to "I spent two years creating two languages for a good game that exists."

I don't know, maybe he phoned it in and it's just a paycheck. Seems like he took it pretty seriously based on the interview.

Don't suppose there's any explanation as to *why* they're updating the Aurora? Every gameplay system is incomplete or missing, but let's keep tightening up the graphics on level 3.

Because the Aurora and the Mustang are the basic ships for new players and they are both pieces of poo poo (and the Mustang is buggy beyond repair). They are looking for fresh blood to suck.

I'm glad they finally got round to paying a linguist to make up a language for them, now they can point to that as if it's progress even though literally none of their staff will have had any hand in its creation.

That's the "easy checkbox" filling. A language requires no programming, so of course they will do it. They'll redo art 500 times, probably have 600 updates on their alien language (updated "flo-clout" to be "fat and broad" instead of "fat and soft"). They can also mocap until the cows come home.

Unfortunately though it's all fake progress. The language isn't going to be any more useful than selecting "play backwards" to somebody reading a menu in Italian or anything similar. It also doesn't bring them closer to actually finishing the game.

But it does meet a check box for the MVP. :)

I don't know, alien languages seem like an awful lot of effort for someone that has trouble acting in her native language convincingly. Although it could lead to some interesting footage of her trying to read off a cue card filled with vanduul gibberish so I hope it happens.

Good games that exist don't pay experts to create conlangs because they have better things to spend their limited budgets on

Paid gigs making synthetic languages are probably few and far between, and people don't get into that field without a real passion; there are tons of hobbyists who make up languages for no reward at all other than the respect of the community and their own pleasure. ANY opportunity to do this full time for a living is probably gonna inspire someone that passionate, even if the project it's being made for is bullshit

Already in the game, citizen!

Chris Roberts , the best example of what happens when you sit in a computer chair for your entire adult life. Dude looks like he hasn't had to do any actual work in the past 10 years

The heaviest thing he's probably lifted was that abortion of a script

tis all great - but what's the worth of a polyglot's most brillant conlanguage when it's used in terrible dialog and rather awful neo-republican plot?

it's because it was a stretch goal that people* haven't actually forgotten AND one that is pretty cheap and easy to implement even if it has absolutely no impact whatsoever on the actual game, drawing attention away from the hugely difficult and expensive stretch goals that would actually turn the tech demo into a GAME, like mining, farming, missions and gameplay.
