I'm hoping for sandworms with rockets on their heads this citizencon.

...that you can climb onto with totally not maker hooks and ride across a desert that in no way resembles Arrakis!!!
Of course! CR would never infringer on the IP rights of another entity!
They sure wouldn't. But their FoIP rights? That's fair game, that is.
Funnily enough, I was just curious to whether this was well know, and one explanation was "Failure Of Initial Purpose". Google is doing my job for me these days...
Exactly. SC was first. Just like Kubrick nabbed the Waltz scene from Elite. Dune made heavy use of the never done before ideas of SC.
Does that make him the Chrisatz Haderach?
Only if he actually releases the game in its entirety.
"And how can this be? For he is the Chrisatz Haderach!"
I cracked up at that point.
Not because of CIG/SC either, its something i could see a build developer screaming when something doesn't build.
I was at a dev company the other day with my business and was waiting on the guy doing a build, that just wouldn't build. I could almost see the vein throbbing in his head, he was close to exploding i'm sure. Took him half an hour to get the build going.
You obviously don't understand build development.
Can confirm. I've rebuilt code with no changes, the only difference that I said "woooooooooork DAMNIT!" During the build process.
Anticitizen #1 is at it again. Claiming "internal source" and rumouring mass exodus. This can only mean that SC is nearing the completion of major milestones and many contracts are running out.
Just noticed the schedule for Ccon.
Chris is going to have a 2 hour slot to open.
And they wanted people to pay to listen to this?
I can summarize: Gib monies plz!
EDIT: Wow, its all back to back as well, when are backers meant to take a break from the sales pitch?
Also one of those talks in the second hall will take place when the first hall has already started. Will people make an exodus to switch halls? That will look funny if half the people get up and walk out. Perhaps they should have thought that one through a little better. Have it start at the same time and then you might get an influx in the other hall when the alternate one finishes.

They're not, it's all part of the plan. Wear 'em down just like to old doubling glazing salesman...
World's most unsurprising surprise. No sign of Chris on the ATV either, he leaves it to Sandi to drop the bombshell.
And while we're on the subject of the ATV, CIG has yet again invented a marvel of the modern age never before seen in space games - an "early potential mechanic for gameplay which is very much on their radar but not implemented yet", namely "exploration" and being able to *gasp* calculate how much fuel you're going to need to get from point A to point B in your jpeg spaceship.
Remember, space game development is super difficult, and coming up against unexpected requirements like knowing how much fuel you need to get somewhere can really throw a spanner in the works.

Is that a Photoshop screenshot?
No, I just snipped it from the latest ATV - timestamp 3.50 or thereabouts if you need to verify the source.
