Pure alchemy.
Chris is still plumbing in the pipes with his bare hands.
Unfortunately they wave a lot...
Meanwhile the sub is enjoying Month 2 of Stability Year...

How can they be tired? They've spent so much time dreaming they should be quite rested.....
So, if they have yet to build the tools to build compelling missions then, just what is the current state of SQ404?
It's a rhetorical question as I don't care and expect that it's in the same state as SC (at best).
SQ404 is the server where Vulkan has gone to live...
The focus for Star Citizen recently on the code side has been on stability and quality of life (QoL) improvements to existing features, especially after the rollout of server meshing and the huge impact it's had on the game. As a result the Star Citizen team haven't been able to take a full new version of the engine in a while, because this would bring potentialy instability and slow down the QoL improvments for players, and also likely prevent regular/timely releases, all of of which are critical for continued engagement. But the Squadron 42 team have been road testing Vulkan (which is enabled by default for them) along with HDR, and multi-threaded rendering, so hopefully most of the kinks are ironed out by the time they reach Star Citizen, though I won't be able to predict when exactly that will be.
We are also considering changes internally that would allow the Star Citizen team to more easily take piecemeal updates to the engine into the live release to reduce the risk of instability for lower risk features/systems, as we're of course eager to get all new shiny things into your hands as soon as possible without comprimising the player experience.

More SNAFU news on the investment $$$
shrach said:Oh yeah, didn't notice that this one is in USD because that is wild. It would be $10m if we assume it's the same deal where the investment was half into the UK group and half into the US group. It's probably a safer assumption now that you spotted this one is in USD. The only way we find out for sure is by a press release though, since we wouldn't get disclosure on this until presumably early 2027.
I actually think this is a mistake. I'm thinking about how this means they will have to split their share capital now, since the nominal value of these is $0.00001. I think it's most likely they paid $5m, got 247,520 £0.00001 shares and the amount paid needs to be converted from the $20.20 they list to a correct £amount. This is probably why the total share capital is incorrect too. Since the person confronted with the form would need to put in a total figure for £117.4592 plus $2.4752 which presents the problem that it would change all the time if you tried to enter one amount in £ due to exchange rates...
The Companies Act suggests this is a no go too.
If they really issued shares with a USD nominal value, they would have had to been a different class of share as suggested by section 3.
So Chris is now not only committing an offence for filing the accounts late but also for allotting shares in contravention of that section of the Companies Act.
Looks like those shares were sold in a hurry
By issuing new shares, they also diluted the value of all other shares... although if the shares realistically have a value of zero, it doesn't matter anyway
They're focusing on QoL and stability fixes but SC is stuck on an old build of StarEngine and they can't update because it would slow down QoL fixes? The whole thing reads like "we have a more advanced build but it goes to another school."

Dilluting the "value" of the shares can be irrelevant if you have a signed agreement to sell back your options to the company at a pre agreed price, or if you have a specific mechanism to calculate those returns, such as the Calder´s.
Looks increasingly like the Empire of Roberts hire their book keepers and consiglieri from the same firm as Cosa Nostra doSo Chris is now not only committing an offence for filing the accounts late but also for allotting shares in contravention of that section of the Companies Act.

The static one is in bugfixing right now. Since it's all virtual, CIG could run them all on the same hardware as before. They say they don't.
I thought CIG were banking on backers forgetting they’d been promised a game
They're not forgetting that Squadron 42 was promised to be a small campaign that wouldn't delay development at all.I thought CIG were banking on backers forgetting they’d been promised a game
Chris also said that increasing the scope wouldn't significantly delay the release of SC.
This can only mean that nobody who has ever been involved in project management or software development backed SC after hearing that statement... except, there are apparently a ton of PMs and devs among the SC community if their posts are to be believed.
