He was going to release it.
But then found out that the Universe had released it before him so decided not to bother as it had been "done before" and that just didn't fit within the corporate vision,,,,

If that stopped him he wouldn't have dialogue like this planned for SQ42

I wish those mocap filming leaks were still around.

Sandi: Have you ever done a trench run before?
Mark "Old Man" Hamill: Well, a long time ago.

I remember there being an uncomfortable pause in delivery, intended for the reference to sink in.

nah it cant be - did Sandi actually asked Mark Hamill that question? or it was just a well scripted waltz?

Since the SC Kickstarter, I have shipped 6 games, which have collectively generated over 3B USD in revenue. It makes me feel bad for CIG devs, especially the ones looking for work now.

If you count each oof stone we have an oof for each game dev guy released...

It's all news to be me TBH. Can't find any ref to it online, but Bootcha was knee-deep in the early escapades, so it probably was a thing.

Totally believable either way

It's the test realm where the best SQ42 AI live...



Gotta love the music

(I believe that theme is called 'Feature Complete!'...)

Speaking of Star Wars, the AI must have gone to the Clone Trooper Military Academy.

We should call a few Helldivers to bring actual democracy to the SC subreddit.

I don't know if it was a well scripted waltz, but it did sound like a scripted waltz

• Lots of people who have orgs really like the idea of taking down an Idris

My Pictures folder will be read-only when that time comes. Let them try!

Can't wait to see Joe Bloobers hot take on this.

Need to wait a couple of days now, as he seems to wait until all the skeptics have finished posting before he rushes in to defend CIG.

A reasonable set of observations:

Another of the 'refund' devs chipped in on management layoffs:

You don’t lay off people from critical leadership roles when your game is “in the polish phase” unless something is really wrong with them or your finances.
I agree. I worked in games development for a decade, some big hitters, SEGA, Sony, LucasArts...whenever a team started getting laid off, particularly management staff that had been core to the dev, well, only 1 thing is coming...nothing.
Add this with a part-time barista to make coffee...throw in some keg Fridays and chef lunches and huge on-campus "perks" or an expensive holiday party or 3...its pirates raiding their own ship before it sinks. Seen it a half a dozen times on multiple game projects.

Although CIG have always splashed out on barristas

 

[HansAcker]

Please do not clip through the unfinished geometry! (Falling out from inside is ok)
(source thread)

 

[metatheurgist]

If the game just clips you in from terrible coding, is fine.

 

[GreySix]

In true CI-G fashion you don't board the Idris. You don't ram the Idris. You don't fight the Idris.

You buy an Idris.

... and then are barred from boarding or seeing the inside of it until Squadron 42, while those who didn't buy one steal and possibly get a free one.

What a deal!

 

[Asp Explorer]

What happens if the interim-Idris runs into a line of indestructible Pico plushies and discarded backpacks?

Will it burst if you drop a tonk onto it? Can you get it to wobble on a burrito?

 

[cigwatch]

Shouldn't the bartenders have AI so advanced by now they could finish the game from the inside?

 

[Skizomeuh]

Actually they achieved sentience, it's them that laid-off people recently.

They've also applied for the barrista job at CIG.
