What is the difference, if any, between a Gameplay 'Programmer' and Gameplay 'Engineer'?

What functions differentiate them?

One has to first build his own tools, the others don't.

Meanwhile, the actual QA testers at CIG who get a paycheck every month have some more coffee from the ten thousand dollar coffee machine.

Lmao if you think they do inhouse QA or if they do that the QA people are nothing more than third rate contractors residing in the basement, drinking no name energy drinks in an unlit room 45°C hot.

I bet they don't even get to use the toilets regular employees use.

How can mere mortals living in linear timeline even fathom the transcendental genius of parallel development? For Crobbler, the game is both completely done and not even started, since He cannot perceive time like a lower being anymore.

I bet almost anyone here can identify the sounds alone of the X-Wing, Tie Fighter, and Millenium Falcon. Just the sound. These were dreamed up in the 70s and are in use to this day.

Chris Roberts believes he's in that creative camp, and all his stolen and/or uninspired hack designs are an equivalent IP. That alone says everything about this project.

To be fair, imagine being an artist working under him. The man has no clear cut aesthetic and changes what the gently caress he wants multiple times a day.

I'd just wing it for a paycheck and do my own portfolio work for when I get inevitably fired.

a friend of mine said he was playing 3.10 on the PTU

I tried to join him but apparently the PTU is like a different thing than star citizen

why does an alpha game need a separate testing branch for players??? is this normal

Cause real games have ptus, so to make the scam appear legit, SC needs one too.

This is the answer to 90% of the poo poo they do. It's basically cargo culting themselves hoping of they adhere to game dev rituals a game might manifest

Usually lead design or sometimes director. It depends on the company how involved the job title is.

Bethesda games do this "save the location of every object" and it's great at first but after about 3/4 of the way through the game the saving and loading takes forever and you run into lots of random crashes as you go through doors.

But I'm sure CIG can do better because they have a track record of making highly detailed games and MMOs. My favorite one that I liked was

This actually made saves unloadable in Oblivion.

Except they already removed ramming damage *because griefers*, so that gameplay loop is really going to require the bomber (and bombs that currently don't work iirc) :v:

Okay? What scam is this then? Is this local regional pricing despite showing dollars? VATS added in? If so, that needs to be declared or its highly illegal
