The Star Citizen Thread V10

…oh, and I'm only half-facetious with that texture comment. For those who aren't aware or didn't pay attention, CRobber did actually try to claim credit for textures becoming a thing in video gaming.

This should tell you all you need to know about his industry know-how.

That's just one of his many industry-firsts

Remember when he claimed to have invented the FPS? Or when Wing Commander was the first ever game to show your character moving the controls?

Now, there is also a little nugget out there where he actually says he pioneered 3D gaming - but that one is a bit harder to find these days.

Yes, yes, and yes.
Again, he's not exactly the most clued-in or lucent person in gaming. Well… at least not for any other purpose than stealing ideas and reimplementing them very poorly.

There's a reason why Origin had to do some very fancy footwork not to get sued into a smoking hole in the ground by Lucasart, and that reason begins with a capital C.

Chris is like Neo, except he doesn't know karate but invented it, and it's not the matrix but stackoverflow.

Dude, where's my ship? Every streamer I've watched has seen this bug. The ship isn't where it is supposed to be and they have to run around to try to find it.

If you can't see emergent gameplay - exploration in this case - when it's right in front of your eyes, you must really don't understand game development! /s

Didn't get far enough into the video to see the 'game breaking bug' as the really low frame rate is making me feel ill. Good example of Frog Boiling

Once you purchase the Legatus pack ($27,000), you can purchase a yearly "booster" pack that contains all the ships released that year.

Never knew that was a thing.

Because apparently spending 27k on a game doesn't entitle you to get all new content for free.

That's really quite something.

If you’ve managed to con 27,000 shmeckles out of some poor fool,which you could argue is a little steep for a computer game,you need to keep milking them with new and interesting jpegs.

It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times.

 

[hunvagy]

Wait what, a booster? What is this, a space sim or a TCG? Next thing you tell me that the ships are on a yearly circulation like MtG, and some ships will leave standard and cannot be used in normal play

Well, to be fair he was correct - it was a "dream project", just not quite in the way he imagined

 

[MTBFritz]

He is ramping up his production but still....this one was interesting. Also Chris got balls to come up with this "wisdom". Good to see tho that CI-G has enough money left to spend it on influentual pieces.

That's some a pretty neat physics simulation of helium-infused styrofoam.

I thought they were some sort of eldritch horror disguised as spaceships (with that totally creepy unnatural movement, which of course an elder horror wouldn't know was wrong since they've never seen a space ship). They're probably crewed by the spaghetti men.

This project is making good progress indeed. You can obviously tell from patch to patch.

Physics in particular is improving in leaps and bounds!

Looks like the second ship spawns in on the first one, as if the ships are spawning in the wrong locations.
