Posts like this make me sad. Evolution is supposed to make us smarter in the long run.

But I guess by the time we've evoloved enough as a species, so that everyone realises this is , Star Citizen may be in beta.

Evolution pnly makes a species smarter if that results in an increase in fitness (as measured by successful offspring over an open ended series of generations). Granted, .jpg related divorces probably don't help with that, but this is a relatively new phenomenon, evolutionarily speaking ^.^

Hey Derek

Well the issue is for me is either are they are being the most unrealistic people possible or they are being purposefully unrealistic to keep the funding going. I had a bit of a blowout when they mentioned you could have wildlife on the planets??!!??

It is impossible to tell their intentions or motivations. The only thing that is clear is that they are not transparent about any important company-internals especially the actual production of the software and the current state of progress. Exactly this makes it seem suspicious for a so-called open development project. If you plan to produce something until a certain date, but you were not able to, it would be the easiest thing to make clear where the problem is and what has to be done to finish the job (see the development of Kerbal Space Program that was not 100% transparent, especially regarding the bad work conditions at that company, but gave actual insights into the production of the software).

Now they fool their fans by releasing a schedule report that carries no meaningful informations nor makes the longterm plan for this project transparent in any way and they focus their marketing material on all the less important side aspects of the game, so the elephant in the room (when will they release the final product) is not being touched and it is impossible to assume that this is not done by purpose which makes it suspicious again. They are very good in being vague enough in everything they say, symbolically charming their fans and create a pleasent image of their company (and its personalities) to the point that it is marketed as a revolution in the gaming industry that all that does not matter too much for the fans.

And then some eat yellow snow :eek:


However there are some of what CIG did that FD could take a note of. Some of the graphic designers are pretty talented, and it could be nice to capture them into the FD dimension.

From something shader-man Ben said a while back, I think he may have left FD partly because the initial ambitions for the ED graphics were dialled back quite a bit to get ED 1.0 out the door. Star Citizen makes no such compromise: the game will not release until the graphics are perfect, until the Complete Works of Shakespeare have been translated into three alien languages, until every corpuscle has been individually hand-crafted by the team of biologists CIG/RSI has hired for the purpose.

There may not be any game mechanics in the released version of the Persistent Universe: that appears to be an afterthought.
