I was disappointed at first with the delay from CIG, but now I realize that this is actually a miracle. CIG was running out of ideas, running out of time and money. Skadden's lawyers were phoning all day long, demanding to know about this and that, and Coutts' e-mails were filling up the inboxes of everyone in the LA office. They could only entertain us for a scant two hours with images of generic space ships and regurgitated faff from old 90's movies, and then we'd all have to back to the drudgery of our real lives. Hollow, like death. With only real games to play and our loving families to comfort us in our time of need. But then, when no one was expecting it, just before the final flash of hilarity and gently caress-uppery that would send us off for 2017, the word came that the comedy would last much longer. Oh, and it did. The comedy burned brightly for 24 more hours! Far exceeding the limits of what we thought possible, the Goons' cups runneth over! Mirth and merriment spread across all the forums. Joyous words rang out from the signal boosters and the FUDsters, and for that day the Goons were more than satisfied by the offerings of the Crobberts. And so it was, that on this day a new Goon tradition emerged! From now until eternity, on every 21st of December, we Goons shall light 24 candles, one for every extra hour of hilarity, and break our water mains, then get in a fender bender to honour the miracle that has been bestowed upon us. Crobberts be praised, for he is the true giver of laughter!

PederP posted:These people who want everything to take forever and be almost entirely uneventful need to play A Tale in the Desert. When I played it there was no quick travel or teleporting. You had to walk everywhere. My character was spawned somewhere on the tip of the Sinai peninsula and I built my stuff there. Unfortunately that meant that if I wanted to go to the Nile delta, I had to spend hours running through the Sinai desert. Just going to a nearby Sinai guild to trade and hang out could easily take 30 minutes of running. I can't believe this is still going. When I was in high school I worked for a small website reviewing video games and I did a preview of this game when it was in beta. I got a call from the developer and he took me around the map using some kind of teleportation thing to show me all the stuff people had been working and to let me see the various parts of the map. It was incredibly impressive in its size and community at the time. The focus on community and working together instead of killing each other was also pretty novel back then, which was kinda cool. I had a free pass to play if I wanted to, but in the end, you're right. It's a massive time sink to do anything, and because I had to split my time reviewing other games I couldn't really get into it to the degree needed. It was very interesting, but also pretty tedious unless you were playing with friends which I wasn't. Don't worry though, I'm sure Chris has thought through all of this and the game will be very engaging during your six hour flights to the middle of bumfuck nowhere to do nothing for no reason.

Colostomy Bag posted:Speaking of the script, were the lines in that SQ42 demo present in the leaked script? Yep. I'm not sure where to find it, but during the live presentation someone found the next few lines between the pilot and Ser Davos while it was happening and posted it to the discord channel. It was pretty close to spot on, with a few small liberties taken by the actors of course. Script confirmed.

Beet Wagon posted:Those guys are in England, as far as I know (the guys who made the big benny's machine, the spacesuit locker, and the cargo crate) and it's never been hinted that they were the ones to do the door. In fact, the email from CS says nothing about it being donated by backers, so I'm not sure where they pulled that from. To be fair, in the grand scheme of things the backers donated everything CIG has. They gave them money and got sweet gently caress all, but CIG has some useless airplane desks and a space door and that's progress apparently.

Beet Wagon posted:Honestly I’d be willing to bet that sterling’s main motivation for not doing it is more due to how much loving research is involved if you haven’t been keeping track. There’s a lot of common knowledge we take for granted and even then there’s always a couple posts a month going “wait did that really happen? I thought it was a joke!” I remember him saying in one of his podcasts a while ago (like 6 months ago or more) that this is the exact reason for not doing it. There's an absolute shitton of information, and so much of what you find is superceded by new lies and promises, or has been retconned by either the citizens or Roberts himself that it's tough to get an accurate picture of anything if you haven't been standing in the middle of it for years like people in this thread or the subreddit.

Beet Wagon posted:Hello friends, I'm not going to claim any of these due to my own backlog and workload, but I will shill for Antichamber and Guacamelee. Antichamber is super chill and trippy, while a bit short, but it's a very relaxing good time. Gucamelee is for you if you like any kind of sidescrolling beat-em-up kinda action, or luchadores. Who knew there would be actual games, let alone good games to talk about in here?

Jobbo_Fett posted:Hold the loving phone... I thought CIG have only been developing Star Citizen since 2015? What the gently caress is this 5 and a half years (+1 year for prototyping) bullshit?! Joke's on you, FUDster, they're still in the prototyping phase. Development hasn't even started yet, and won't for the foreseeable future. Not everyone has the patience for game non-development, I guess.

Don't worry fellow commandos. Chris has said that they're still planning the game, which means they're very close to being started. In my experience with project management, planning usually takes between 5 and 10 percent of the total work necessary to finish a job, and since we're only six years in, let's say it'll only take one more year to get the planning stage finished. So, that's seven years to get 10% finished (to be generous) in 2019, so Squadron 42 should release somewhere around 2089. Barring any delays of course, but these guys are professionals.

Scruffpuff posted:
This is an interesting point, because not only are the materials not transferrable, if you're making a wooden building and the straw hut is there, you're actually adding extra work. Planning in architecture (or anything else really) is incredibly important, for this exact reason. Making a change when nothing is built is cheap and easy, because it's just lines in a CAD program. If you build a wall in your new house, put a floor in top of it, and then run electrical through it, when you want to take it out, you've actually created even more work than just putting in a wall there in the first place. Tier 0 implementations, especially in a case like this, are loving stupid because you have to do the work to make it, then do more work to undo that work, THEN do what you should have done if you had a good plan from the beginning. I don't know about you guys, but I'm starting to suspect that CIG's project management may be less than adequate.
