Hav posted:Development started Two Weeks ago; I'm not super familiar with Gantt charts, but why aren't the rows labeled? "Item 2.0: Power Supply / Pipes" is on the same row as "Continuous Serialized Variables," does that mean that the same team is responsible for both tasks?

The more I look at the chart, the more  it gets. They have systems that affect each other in a huge way - even if they had a magical ability to deliver on each task with no delays, there's no room to iterate. I can't believe anybody is convinced that this is a real schedule.

Maybe I've spent too much time reading this thread, but I can't read an article about video games without imagining the writers making GBS threads on Star Citizen.quote:A longstanding dream: Video games will evolve into interactive stories, like the ones that play out fictionally on the Star Trek Holodeck. In this hypothetical future, players could interact with computerized characters as round as those in novels or films, making choices that would influence an ever-evolving plot. It would be like living in a novel, where the player’s actions would have as much of an influence on the story as they might in the real world. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/04/video-games-stories/524148/

Quavers posted:My other remark is that the production report CIG gives us is getting more and more inconsistent week after week. Text is contradicting images on an increasing number of tasks, and the global schedule is itself drifting away from the 3.0.0 schedule on their common tasks. I'm doing my best to maintain consistency in my reports, but don't be surprised if there are a few dates jumps here and there. CIG, if you need any proofreading, I can help!  Even the most hardened shitzens must be getting suspicious by now.

Amazing Zimmo posted:Gameplay, the basics of fun in a game, is only supposed to be available a day or two after the armadillo testing. This is from CIG's own schedule, the same schedule that they keep on adding another week to every completion date and yet dipshits like obey_the_fisting still think that this will be the miracle to make the world weep tears of joy and convert us all to the cult. At least there will be a FOV slider to play with!

quote:* CIG you need to stop getting the community to do the recruiting and marketing for you. We already put in a lot of time explaining everything to new players. We already defend the game in other subreddits, other forum posts and whatever. You need to get the game to a point where it can stand on its own, stop pushing the community to make the excuses in your stead. Well since not having to pay a publisher makes backer funds count for 4x times more than a normal game developer, clearly outsourcing marketing to the community will make funds count even more, like 8x.

To all you haters making fun of delays in the Star Citizen schedule: do you know what else has had delays and technical setbacks? The James Webb Space Telescope. Note that they too had to do some rework of the radiators (for maximum fidelity). And they're currently refactoring the propellant system, and no doubt they're running into issues with their datalink netcode and control software subsumption. The telescope is seven years late. What Chris Roberts is attempting is no less complicated or revolutionary.

Richie Stardust posted:It is a cool box though. If CIG would have made all their jpegs look like sleek boxes with neatly scooped out faces and the top plane really flat and linear then they would have had an art style. Something with their stamp. Then we could have looked at it and said, "Oh that's a CIG style ship." Instead we have this. It's not a coincidence that these designs would actually look pretty good rendered in low-res 2D sprites for a game like Wing Commander 1. The large cylindrical intake/exhaust shapes make it very clear which way the ship is facing at a glance.

MinorInconvenience posted:This "design note" was posted precisely two years ago this week (June 26th 2015). It is incomprehensible to me that grown adults who claim to work in the game industry would ever publicly announce that they wanted to add this completely stupid, un-fun, unworkable poo poo to a video game. And not be drunk or high. Morons. In all fairness, it's not any less fun than the rest of Star Citizen, and it's actually small enough in scope to realistically be implemented in the game.
