Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

Don't forget the tools, it's a big part of what CIG is doing....
Agreed. No-one doubts that CIG have forgotten to 'do' the 'tools'.

Buy an Idris.

Or this is available for only $750 with LTI:

Don't forget the tools, it's a big part of what CIG is doing. Rockstar has RAGE, Bethesda has Creation Engine, CIG wants its own tool as powerful as those.

CIG already has its own tool. His name is Chris Roberts.

Aside: I realise English is not your first language, so fyi 'tool' has connotations well beyond what you're probably thinking. See here for example:
 
I've read this sort of comment before and it always makes me smile and cringe.

I'm always pleased to hear that people wouldn't care if it took (let's say) another 10 years of actively working to clear all the blockers to get (let's say) Pyro released. Or SQ404 released, or server meshing, etc. Or maybe 20 years. Yeah, take as long as you want.

Except it's nonsense. No one has infinite patience for anything. No one.

* until they discover a new blocker, or piece of must-have-ium....

Nobody is immortal either. Backers might be happy to wait 20 years, CR might not have that long to live.
 
So everyone denying here that CIG is developping a full scale engine on the same level than RAGE or Creation Engine ? That the actual alpha is just made on CE3 slightly modified ?
Interesting...
 
Looks like it's been long since we mentioned Frankenstengine around here.
I stumbled across a quite positive video by Obsidian Ant, where he was sounding sensibly cautious as he suggested that SC would be in beta in 18 months with SQ404 anther 6 to 8 months behind that.

He almost convinced me, until I saw that the video was from a couple of years ago. I shrugged. Shook my head and headed back here.

In other news I watched Groundhog Day the other day. It's a nice film.

CIG isn't developing a full scale engine, like RAGE, Creation Engine, or Unreal. They really should've invested in creating their own engine, one capable of doing what they needed it do do. What CIG is doing is absurd, and part of the reason why Star Citizen is in the state is in. Which is...
That the actual alpha is just made on CE3 slightly modified ?
Nope. CIG isn't slightly modifying CE3. They're trying to heavily modify CE3, which was already an engine ill suited for what they needed. Their heavy modifications has just made a bad situation even worse.

But at least CE3 makes the game look pretty... compared to a game from the early 2010's.

I once started creating a bird-flight sim using unity, probably a decade ago. I probably put about 10 hours in to it, pulled in some graphics assets and add-ons and started delving in to the code to customise it for what I wanted. Changed some things the way I wanted, broke some other things.

This is what CIG are doing. No, they are not creating RAGE or Creation Engine.

That's kind of obvious seeing the actual product installed on our SSD (for those of us who spent money on this). Seeing just anything move (and interact in any way) is an immediate red flag. It's still that 2008 technology with a few layers of crap code slapped on top of it, powered by hopes and dreams mostly, as in reality it falls completely flat on its face when anything happens that was not part of the base engine (like networked events).
