Bumble He posted:dang i thought the amiga came later... The A500 was sort off old even when released, the CPU released in 1979. The custom GFX chips did much of the work, and that was why WC ran poo poo. It was bad a PC port running in a mode the A500 didn't have natively, requiring real time translation to display. Then Commodore happened. I think Robert Space was the CEO's nephew or something...

Scruffpuff posted:It's bullshit at every level. It doesn't even pass the smallest effort at scrutiny. Say you're playing Pac-Man - the game will predict which way you'll go to make it faster! So let's say if there's ghosts coming from down, up, and left, it predicts you'll turn right. It's the most logical move, the other 3 will result in death. I have not read the article, but off the top of my head, perhaps it predictively renders results of future actions to display, and discards them if incorrect. That could help in simpler games to reduce perceived lag.

Hav posted:Nah, going to call it all coming together at long last. They’ll have booths for people to try some drop-in play, and they’ll wrap up the bugs. You know how it’s darkest before the dawn? Well, this year for sure they’ll backfill all that functionality for claims, buildings, bounties, missions, ninety-nine remaining systems, sandworms and procedural birbs. No more ship promotions, just solid marketing for a release date. I think this is a big mistake, the whole ground breaking Play By Purchase Alternative Reality Game has been a fantastic success. Pivoting the entire business model the bog standard game development is a sure recipe for disaster. I really can't believe Mr & Mrs Space would do this, the Caldersoningtons must have made a secret take over deal with Ben, who is not fat.

Sanya Juutilainen posted:Cool, so it loads textures and collision models of the space bodies, only doesn't load instancing. Thanks for the video, I stand corrected in that aspect! One of the FDDEVDEVS once said long ago the entire universe could be seamless but for network instancing. He said specifically that it "would" be possible to fly to a neighboring star system without hyperspacing, but it would take weeks in supercruise and years in normal space and no one sane would ever do it, so they never bothered to implement the triggers to generate the system as you got closer. So you get there and no system would appear. Of course a very sane person tried it, and hey presto, no system appeared.

Agony Aunt posted:Yup, even less actually if you find two systems very close to each other. I likely miss remembered the time taken. The wiki says- Maximum Supercruise speed (when not affected by stellar bodies) is 2,001c and takes 57 min to reach. Supercruised to another system. It would take 4h 22m 51s to travel 1 light year at maximum Supercruise speed.

Baxta posted:I predict this year they will reveal this brand new tech surrounding jump points that will actually be instancing. Even better, the newest rumor involves the ability to rent private servers for your org. Known as Dynamic Servers, they spin up on demand for only 30$ per week. Currently it can only support one player, and has zero persistence, but Robert Space has high hopes for this new technology built on what his developers call "localhost".

The Whitebox is Robert Space's personal studio, all "creative" spaces need a cool name. Mr Space enters The Whitebox when a new Dreams.txt is required to generate revenue from his Followers. Mr Space inhales the Spice Melange which fills The Whitebox, and dictates a new Dreams.txt, which he draws forth by folding space and reading over the shoulders of popular authors of speculative fiction as they themselves type their original stories.

Kind of like watching Level1 Techs on Youtube read the tech news wherein they describe unconstrained corporate digital malfeasance destroying society, immediately followed by a rant on government business regulation and how it really isn't required. They are oddly entertaining.

Kosumo posted:I liked how one of the stretch goals was to make their own mo-cap studio but as soon as Chris got the money, he raced off to a top Hollywood level facility to do it in. Pretty sure they brought some gear, couldn't work it, brought more, couldn't work that, then more again, which also sank into the swamp. Finally they paid others to do it, before figuring out they couldn't import anything yet anyway. Then paid some sweatshop to convert their near useless celebrity mocap data into semi functional jank. Then they went to Imaginarium for hard core mop action. Remember those videos of Molan (sp?) filming semi naked ladies for a female character with a RED One in their "Mocap Studio" backers paid for in 2013? Wooo, good times.

One in the Bum posted:Chris thought he could contract out the development of individual modules to real developers and then just stitch them together at the end. Presto, game development understood. I want to know who convinced him that such an approach could work or if that's what Chris actually believed about software development. This whole thing boils down to Chris thought he could get someone else to do his homework for him and he could take all the credit. Which, ironically, is how most of his former career went. Chris convinced himself. He was literally told by various advisors, no. Not maybe, no. Then he lied, and collected money for lies. Pretty standard game development really.

SQ54 is now a fully CGI non interactive film. That's what Crytek "discovered". That's what the Calders brought, a Blockbuster release. That's why CI is no longer G, they don't know how to make games. That's why Turbulent are now insiders. It's still poo poo, Robert Space is still pretending to be a Director and dragging it all into the swamp, and unlikely it's to ever see the light of day. This is an Official Call. I have Called this. It's probably wrong. Experimental Skin fucked around with this message at 02:01 on Jan 4, 2020 |

This pretty much encapsulates why Store Citizer can continue to shamble on while being a zombified corpse. 90 days tops would be an accurate assessment if Citizers had any critical thinking at all.

Also Crytek never knew that Amazon granted CIG a licence for pre-Lumberyard code aka Cryengine with no trace of Lumberyard, which Amazon were apparently allowed to do and did. The exclusive to cryengine for an period after release and selling two game products under a single game license are still on the dance card I think?

Scruffpuff posted:Of course lots of fun things fit that redacted template. For example, if the rumors of unusable motion capture are to be believed, it could be read like this: Talk to Transformer posted:Crytek filed its motion for the simple reason that CIG, as unbelievable as it sounds several years into game development, purports to be the victim of securities fraud. The problem is that CIG does not yet have any game assets that it is a party to, and so a proper motion for a sham relief order can be filed.
