Also the same guy who stormed out in a huff only to come back to work when Crobber chased after him and offered more money.

I'm still tickled by the parking sensor. So dumb, so star citizen. Elite provides a wireframe 3d display showing your alignment and proximity when docking. Star citizen uses a gun sized sensor bolted to your spaceship with the words "parking sensor" printed on it. Parking sensor. On a loving spaceship.

Cao Ni Ma posted:Wait wait customer support is now in austin? I thought they moved that to LA. No wonder we havent been seeing the regulars, they are probably being relocated CS moved to Austin? They're hurting for money bad if that's true. Maybe they're only shifting a few staff where it makes sense to save on salaries (pay is lower in Austin I assume) but I wonder if this isn't the start of LA closing. Even clown stimperium games could figure out that a very expensive LA office housing some of the most useless dead weight in your organisation could be closed to save a lot of money without impacting the actually important work (what little there is of it so far anyway).

They've dug such a big hole with that lti poo poo they've had to promise anti theft devices to lower insurance costs and sell more jpegs. Can't get rid of lti, but by retaining it and not having it on every ship you might be putting off potential customers who don't want to pay for a virtual item they could lose permanently. So they need to really press home the message that insurance isn't a big deal while still being able to sell lti pictures for extra cash.

Their claims of most open development ever ring even more hollow when it turns out they've been working on an engine change for a year. And they announced it on a Friday before Christmas, of all days. CIG should get into politics with tactics like that. But if you're gonna do an engine change at this point, why swap to another iteration of CryEngine? Is Lumberjack more able to support the kind of huge spaces and number of players they would need to make this pie in the sky game? If not, haven't they just created a lot more work and retained many of the issues that have dogged them so far? And loving lol at any shitizen that ever tried to defend clown stimperium by bringing up starengine and how it was heavily modified and nothing else would do the job.

Crazy_BlackParrot posted:No that's just it, the engine is even less suitable for mmo games. Isn't it just GameLift that's not suitable for MMOs? They can still use AWS (that's separate from the GameLift feature, no?) or their own servers (but then that's an expensive proposition). Whatever they choose though, there's still the fact that the networking side of things for the game as proposed is a huge, perhaps insurmountable, problem. My guess is that the MVP is going to feature standard instancing with a normal number of players at once (24-64). And that would be perfectly sensible, except for the fact they've pre-sold ships on the basis of supporting many crew members and taking part in huge battles.

GreenElephant posted:I took a look at the latest .exe and dlls and as far as I can tell (by scanning for strings and function names) there are zero references to Lumberyard specific things being used. No AWS/cloud API stuff, No Geppetto, no GridMate, no "Gems" system. They still seem to use Scaleform for the UI, instead of the thing Lumberyard replaced it with. This effortless code merging strikes me as a proper load of bollocks. I'm not a coder and I'm happy to be schooled on it, but it seems like an impossibility that you could combine lumberyard and whatever cig has crobbled together without any problems. Even if lumberyard is only a tiny bit different, does it really seem likely they just slammed these two branches of ce into each other without any issues (and therefore expended money and resources)? If they really have been working on it for a year that doesn't suggest smooth sailing.

Pimblor posted:If you had two codebases, both with the same ancestor, that had both been under active, independent development for more than say, a week. Merging them back together or switching from one to the other would be like, "lol gently caress no, you guys are nuts". I mean, the TFS diff too still freaks out and shits itself if you use ReSharper to clean up a file and merge it in on top of some other guys change. The paid diff/merge tools aren't much better and do wacky poo poo too that requires hours of head scratching and pulling in the guys that made the changes to figure out what really should be in this branch versus that branch. Even if it did only take two people a day to swap (maybe the same whizz kids who built the space door from a garage door opener?) it's still loving cryengine. It's still a shambling bag of decay chock full of bugs that's totally unsuited to the game they want to make.

Hav posted:I'm under the impression that Elite does a stripped down version of this, or did. It does. You can target and destroy components, and some weapons have better hull penetration so are more effective at it. It's not needed on small ships aside from wrecking the cargo bay door to make them spit out whatever they're carrying, but handy against bigger craft as you can cripple essential systems to make them easier to take down.

Kosumo posted:No different than CiG and the song Full Burn being in their data (PTU 1.3.0 files) that they released and then them saying "oh, someone must have just put that in there", I mean have they ever come out and claimed they commissioned that song or is it just a random song that they have included in their data that they have released commercially without due credit or money given to the artist? Yeh that's about it. Song was found in SC files and brushed off as something that a developer left in there, even though the band has not yet been identified and its full of shart shitizen references. They definitely commissioned it.

Chin posted:And if they had done the performance capture after nailing down models and design specifications. Despite many examples of their incompetence I still can't quite believe clown stimperium games messed up this badly. When did the mocapping start? 2014? And 3 years later not only is there little to no evidence of a game that uses it, they're still building and rebuilding ships and maps and apparently having to do even more mocap to make up for the total lack of planning and forethought. It's a colossal gently caress up and had to be a huge waste of money. Crobber's a loving liability. Ghostlight posted:Why would they need an engine suitable for an MMO? They unironically say things like "best of all possible worlds" and nerds still gave them $140m.

ManofManyAliases posted:You know what, yeah - kind of. Microshit bought out Freelancer so that could be released, but at least kept him on to consult. What exactly did Crobber do in his consulting role? What did he actually contribute to the development? Because his credits according to moby are "concept" and "special thanks". Doesn't suggest he had a lot of input. Traditionally the title of consultant in this context is code for "we booted them out and wanted nothing more to do with them but didn't want to just come out and say it because it might look bad and we still need to make a profit".
