40 player stress tests indeed.
I have the common sense to know that even a couple of man-years of development is not an insignificant expense. But I also know that, as a proud CIG defender, your idea of a large amount of money doesn't include anything under 9 figures.
I was just going to say he must have learned a helluva a lot in the past few years.
But obviously not enough to release either of the games he has promised.
With this speed, it will probably take at least another decade or two.
From SC leaks. ToW test coming this weekend! Please let there be video leaks!
Can't wait. This is going to be really interesting.
Of course they try to shroud it in an NDA. They don't want the unbelievers to see any jank.
By doing it though they run the risk of people only leaking the bugs, therefore providing a skewed image of the state of the game mode.
Probably notFrom the Evo patch notes. Will this get @Mole HD into the caves?
Evocati and NDA's...hmm
Put it on a scale. If 1% of the dev force is a small investment for a company, how much is a significant investment for CIG ?

Is that an Ilfonic scale or a CIG scale?

"replacing AC & SM" my spider-sense is tingling they may never come back
That would actually make sense. CIG is probably more than stretched as it is, 600+ staff or not (did I read somewhere 700+?), to just cope with any PU/SQ42 roadmap they ve ever put out plus now supporting "dynamic" events, nevermind maintaining or improving 3 separate game modes on top of that. SM and AC have been long obsolete, not because CIG may have learned all it needs to learn from them as originally envisaged, doubt that has ever been of much use, but simply because they are as broken as the PU and just... well, suck.
Outsourcing it to someone else would just be the cherry on the cake to eventually free itself up from most obligations and manpower requirements, if not all, on all those game modes. Given firesprite timelines it is actually possible this may have already happened unannounced years ago.

Mining is going well for SaltEMike this morning ( twitch clip )
What happened there? Is that 'normal'?
His ship and the two vehicles inside it despawned.
A little bit later he says he "spawned too much". Four ROCs and one ship. I'm not sure what that means. Perhaps others here can explain.
