Tippis posted:The funny thing about big publishers is that they are publishers. They are also big. They got big by publishing lots of things. Whatever else you might think of them, this queer fact means that they're a hellalot more trustworth as far as delivering a product than a guy whose largest claim to fame is being kicked out of two separate industries for failure to deliver. +42

AP posted:Calling it now, they will say they are switching engines at Citizen Con. holy poo poo that would be the best possible outcome. Okay well the best possible outcome would be for Crobberts to walk out on stage and be like "With patch 2.5 we're introducing the Idris and four storyline missions - which will complete the delivery of both Star Citizen AND Squadron 42, woo! But an engine change announcement would be second best.

MedicineHut posted:I´m fully with you. Dude, there is no PID system in place. The ships would need to have mass or the thrusters would have to be modelled for it to even begin to work. Just go look at a video of any ship with lots of lateral trusters. They just move around, almost randomly no matter in which direction you're moving. Although they love to point down when you're rotating sidewise. (redittors say the trusters are Indeed modelled well is just that they are absurdly powerful and some of them are invisible, yeah) You can bet your rear end that they gave it the usual roberts-try during the week he was obsessed with that and then went back to harfcoded values as soon as Chris got distracted by procedural birds. CiG doesn't need to have anything at all to claim they are the most fidelitious thing. I know this because they have gently caress all ready at this point besides their ever changing dreams.

Tippis posted:Wait… These are the type of job openings that no one should accept. There is no clear message about what you will be doing who you will be reporting to who will be reporting to you. It's like they want you to manage a team and be part of the grunt work at the same time. How are you going to objectively rate your progress compared to the rest of the team?

quote:You move through this chaos and a new voice begins to call for attention. Now you're with the Faraway Orientation Systems Controller; FOSC-or SysCon-sets you up for the big jump. You're going to cover maybe seven light years in a few minutes, and you might think that's a lot of space to get lost in, but that isn't how it works. Faraway is a tunnel, like any other tunnel. Inside that tunnel is the realm called Witch-Space, a magic place, a place where the normal rules of the Universe don' t necessarily work. And every few thousand parsecs along the Witch-Space tunnel there are monitoring satellites, and branch lines, and stop points, and rescue stations; and passing by all of these are perhaps a hundred channels, a hundred 'lines' for ships to travel, each one protected against the two big dangers of hyperspace travel: atomic reorganisation, and time displacement. Conclusion - the whole of Star Citizen occurs in Witch-Space.

Yep I agree there should be a Ben making GBS threads ships notice , it cant be unseen it was inspired by years of listening to ben describe how over the course of the weekend he designed ground breaking ships with about a million polys in them and how you and your buddy's will be able to live the space adventure dream in it. He just failed to mention the fact he is talking out of his arse so only fitting that the ships come from there

Inkel posted:So ideate posted this on discord.. The thing people keep missing about this is that it's not important they went to a venue they bailed. The thing that's important is they've explicitly said that they have no time to attend E3 and spun the narrative of E3 being inconsequential and unimportant, and then showed up as attendees.

So did they actually bail or did they get kicked out after trying to send AMD their 2 year old highlight reel and a follow-up letter full of coke and poo poo? How does that work? Can anyone calling themselves a dev just show up and get a booth or do you have to know people (and not poo poo in their beds, preferably)?

Well to be fair, all we know is Sandi showed up and, as reddit helpfully pointed out, she does absolutely nothing to help the development of the game. Aside, is this typical? Do other games have damage modeling hidden away inside the object model? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cvq0YwSxKs&t=14s

I love this excuse because, as I'm sure someone has already pointed out, Sandi is the head of their marketing.. And this is the biggest gaming marketing event. I have a hard time believing that their whole marketing department was so swamped that they couldn't throw together a new trailer or two, or give some talking points about the games progress. It's not like you need to halt development just to make a couple trailers or a video of some gameplay.

I assumed most games simply swap out the original model at time of death and pop in the large and small broken debris, and this is hidden by a big explosion particle effect.

Doing it was a long way off. Now, doing it would take valuable resources, which are on more important stuff. It's just priorities. There IS no "engineering debt", you see... because CIG don't have to do any of the stuff they said. All that guff was just words.

I would think that rendering all that poo poo for all involved ships all the time when it isn't useful would bog it down, but maybe it prevents pop-in or something? I don't know, I'm not a game developer and I Don't Understand Game Development, it just looks weird to me. Paramemetic posted:But I thought all of the damage is dynamically generated based on the causes and there aren't pre-existing damage states!?!??? I guess this promise was as binding as the one to fully model thruster mechanics and physics.
