Beet Wagon posted:Man, the #3 thread on the sc subreddit right now is loving Cymelion of all people talking about being bored and worn out with the game. If CIG folded tomorrow, I'd still have got my money's worth. I don't regret a single non-dollar I put into the wonderful experience of watching SC fall apart while still on the drawing board. I was thrilled from the first time I heard the plan: Build a bunch of different game modules simultaneously using different teams, and then just CLICK THEM TOGETHER to make a living universe world. I was hooked. Here was something I could really enjoy watching be attempted. So I'm not bored with SC one bit. Plus, there's a deadline! Five hours to go until Legal is caught chewing Derek's favourite slippers and is put outside in disgrace.

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:Derek if you had $130 million what kind of game would you make? It can't be "the one I did last time but more of it" I don't know about anyone else, but if I had $130m to make a game, it would have quite a few 360-degree VR cutscenes (filmed by Michael Bay, of course) of me driving exotic cars, visiting the world's greatest tourist landmarks, hosting celebrity parties at casinos, and as a bonus, some kind of game to play in between scenes. Like maybe "join the dots to make a yacht", and other puzzles.

In Star Citizen, will we be able to buy a spanner from a tool shop, and use it to undo bolts on an enemy ship's landing gear, and make it crash the next time it touches down? Will the game need us to tighten all our ship's fittings inside and out every 500 flying hours, to prevent mechanical problems, and metal fatigue from flexing under realistic g forces? No other game has such fidelity. It's groundbreaking.

Daztek posted:Yes, yes. Well then, I'm buying two Polaris. I'll take a fin off one ship, and will load it in the cargo hold of the other ship - carry it as a spare. After battling pirates, I'll land on some unknown world, and get busy repairing the ship with my trusty spanner. This game is awesome! The sheer vision of it all.

MeLKoR posted:Derek couldn't pretend to be anyone else if he tried, furthermore Hello, I'm a Hungarian chef with long hair, please excuse my poor English, but I want to mention Star Citizen for a moment.. A lot has been written about Star Citizen, the co-creators, the fans (both normal and rabid), the companies surrounding it etc. The general consensus at this point in time is that the entire project has devolved into a scam. To the extent that recently some backers looking for refunds started mass reporting the company to State and Federal authorities, who then had to step in. My sources tell me that investigations are on-going. By the time the dust settles on this, lawsuits (trust me, they’re coming), my guess is that not only will the fallout involve State officials, but also various Federal agencies including the FTC, the FBI and even the IRS (more on this in an upcoming blog). I have specifically remained silent on most of the these because obstruction is not to be trifled with. So I’m just going to leave it at that. Similarly, going online to read what people are saying about you, isn’t harassment. It’s a bruised ego. You know why all the major social media sites have tools to block unwanted engagement? That’s why. If you are on a site where you are being attacked, the simple solution is to not engage. Because if you engage, the chances of being attacked are likely higher than expected. There are those (they’re idiots) who would say that going the route of disengagement empowers the abusers, while blaming the victim. It’s pure and utter bullshit. If I know that going down a dark alley in a city known for crime is going to get me mugged, there is no way in hell that I’m going down that alley. If I am not interested in topics which offend me, or know that engaging in topics in which my opinions are likely to get me attacked, I’m not bloody likely to go to 4Chan, 8Chan, or even Reddit (which, contrary to popular belief, has sub-Reddits with an amazing, and helpful community. But if you go looking for bad stuff, you will find it). But here’s the thing; even when people use anonymous aliases online, the psychology of engagement is so profuse, that even though people are very well hidden behind the veil of anonymity, they still take offense to some discussions. On social media sites which use your real identity, it is easy to see how harassment can play a huge role in heated discourse. To the extent that even the abusers tend to hide behind the veil of anonymity, even as others go about trying to unmask them in order to hold them accountable for what they say online. For my part, I have no problems unmasking those who would otherwise seek to engage in the harassment of others. Seeking anonymity for your online protection, is completely different from seeking anonymity in order to behave badly online, engage in attacks, abuse, and harassment of others. I have unmasked several people for specifically this reason, and I will continue to do it. Actions have consequences, and the causality of actionable consequences cannot be understated. As a gamer, game developer, and avid blogger, being harassed – incessantly – is par for the course. How you react to it, makes all the difference. I just happen to be the guy who brings a flamethrower to a knife fight. Thank you. Dezso Samuka

Just to be clear, I'm not expecting CIG staff to actually disembowel anyone live on stream (although it would be more watchable that way). As to what the backers will do when faced with yet another glorified ship sale/advertisement... well, that's another story.
