He is not the 1st to use KSer cash to fund a different project and probably won't be the last

Godus aside I have enjoyed all the games he has been involved in despite them being a far cry from what he was going for, a bit like a few space games I can think of ;)

CR went one step further, he used funds given to him by the publisher for Freelancer to fund his magnum opus Wing Commander: The Movie!
 
Funny you should say that. I was chatting with a friend about dungeon master (my 1st "eye of the beholder" genre game on the Amiga (one of 2 games I bought my 512k upgrade for) on Thursday
Thursday night I started legend of grimrock which had been on my barely played pile.of.shame for almost a decade .

It's dungeon master / eye of the beholder in pretty much every way.
Somehow that flew completely under my radar at the time but I'll pick it up on Steam sometime. Looks classic.

I hope for this guy's sake CIG doesn't go bust. The guy will probably top himself.
 
Whoa...Just tried 3.14 patch...what a pile of Garbage...this is incredible what CIG managed to achieve!!At least before this patch I have in between 20-30 Fps in 1440p now after this update I can't have more then 10Fps on this new planet not sure is this again due to the CIG horrendous networking or this new place is just a complete mess of glitching polygons...tho' knowing CIG&Croberts it's most likely combination of both of those things...

I think you will like it. It has a sequel too. It's been pennies in the past.
Yeah I've wishlisted it and I figure I can wait for the Christmas sale, given that my life has been fine for the last 10 years or so without it :D I spotted the sequel too so I'll probably grab them both then. It does look exactly like it says on the tin, EoB with better graphics.
 
...and you have to fly to an altitude of 150km exiting the atmosphere and leaving the gas giant!
You start at 80km...so not as bad as it may seem. It was worse during a few PTU patches when one of the nice devs put a 7 instead of a 1 in there...750km, I ran out of fuel after 20 minutes of trying to escape atmo :D

But you're right...it takes way too long getting in and out of the place to make it anything more than a screenshot generator location...trade pilots won't go near it (if there was any trade) and there's no other reason I can see for going there any more than once...just to say you've been there.

After firing it up last night to fit my proper armour and get the ships kitted out with all my upgrades (and a bit of shopping for mags and medpens), within 20 minutes, all the troll-lol-lol's were back at Olisar pewing eachother and complaining about the new combat balance, all the miners were elsewhere avoiding the troll-lol-lols and cargo haulers were whining that trading was still broken...same old :)

Just do what the rest of us have done since PTU...find the spaceport and GTF outta there :D
 
Do I need to do complete online reset because I believe I can't change my respawn place?
It's best just to suffer it the once and just get out of there rather than character reset. Once you're away from Orison, the framerates are back to usual. Just head to Olisar or CRU L1 and dock to make sure you don't spawn there again. Most folk are parking up at Mic L1 getting ready for Xeno V2 anyway.

THX @Mole HD but not sure if is it even worth me doing that as I actually just wanted to see that new place...I mean that was supposed to be the whole point of this 3.14 patch right?
 
Ah, SaltEMike noticed this during PTU. He was forced to spawn at Orison. Surprised if they kept that for the PU though.
Instead of doing my usual and chosing where to spawn...anywhere that isn't Orison...I instead waited for the party leader to drag me in...which set the automatic spawn at Orison :rolleyes:
My framerate wasn't as bad as Zyll's (25-30) but it takes so long to get out of there. I've seen Orison a million times already during the extended PTU so sightseeing wasn't on the cards...there aren't any shops there to top up the usual vanishing consumables with a new patch...ammo and meds etc so I had to suffer the escape just to get to a place with a weapons shop.

Once you've escaped Orison and landed somewhere else, you don't spawn there again.

Orison is only a place with nothing to do...all the rest of 3.14 like the new ship HUD, combat balancing and Xeno V2...9 tails lockdown as well when it kicks off. There's a lot of improvements in 3.14 besides fluffy clouds and floating space stations. I'm testing the new scanners out doing mining...new HUD and missile operator mode by doing coop multicrew bounty hunting...Ai has been given a wee boost so the ships you're shooting at at least try to fight back. Desync is way better, even with the packed servers last night I didn't suffer any when bounty hunting with a few of us all crewed up in pairs...no warping or rubber banding ships or anything. A small tip, if you have a ship fitted with multicannons, ditch them for lasers...ammo counts on the multis mean you're dry after 10 seconds...lasers recharge from the capacitors.

Overall, even during PTU, Orison didn't interest me at all...bar the visually impressive but utter pointlessness of it all. I'll probably never visit it again. The rest of the changes and improvements are where 3.14 is at...
