Remember they also set up a bartender mocap:

Star Citizen: above and beyond parody

Guess they used those anims for the great gatsby rip-off video they did.

 

[Agony_Aunt]

Maybe because their Sandwurmie escaped and ran away?

Maybe on Lier 3 the worms are the bartenders!

On the refunds sub someone picked up on this from CIG's latest update:

"They also fixed a jitter offset computation error with unified raymarching so that it works in harmony with the guided filter denoiser, and added transmittance-weighted depth-computation, which controls the width of the denoise kernel tin guided filtering and raymarching up-sampling results.“

Now, don't know about anyone else, but usually when someone starts using buzzwords against a generally non-technical audience, it means you are trying to pull the wool over someone's eyes.

Just to go back a few days...

There was talk about Turbulent, a Canadian web design studio. If any one need a giggle it's worth a look. The case study for Start Citizen is jaw dropping.

“Someone changed skin shader Jx parameter to 0.02” doesn't have the same ring to it.

What's clear to me is that you don't understand raymarching development.

Plus they need their management to believe it really ought to have taken the 3 months they probably spent on it.

CIG seem to have a rather unhealthy fascination with Bartenders

The funny part is how, the further on we get, the less of it is ready.
Working → finalizing animations → kicked of R&D → random research (no development) → defining → experiment with “feel”, placeholders → fleshing out flow → not yet on the home stretch for animation → unspecified “working on” → … → first iteration not done.

CI¬G would probably be better of releasing today than they will be in five years, when everything is far far less developed than it is right now.

I am pretty sure the answer to that last question is "Because you cannot trust a single word that comes out of Chris Roberts' mouth!" ...

That's not fair. I'm sure you can trust his “ehmmmmmmmm” to properly represent what's going on in his mind at the time.

Cheers had Norm sitting at the bar, DS9 had Morn sitting at the bar and SC has people stood on chairs everywhere.

FTR's take on the recent 'thing'...announcement...whatever ya call it. Short vid, not the stream. Love how he named his Imp Cutter

That indeed is funny. CIG have invented backwards development. NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE!

 

[Cotic]

I hope you're right. 7 years and $25k later my only concern has ever been other players ruining my experience in the game. Has happened scores of times in the alpha, to the point where I don't even have it installed anymore.

Most expensive rage-quit ever?

 

[Agony_Aunt]

Most expensive rage-quit ever?

Wow, 25k and they uninstalled?

Well, at least they aren't stuck in sunk cost fallacy.

Whats that from? Just invigorated me to play tomorrow.

Tears of rage are Sovapid's energy drinks.

Funny as hell.

For anyone wondering about this, CIG released a new marketing video talking about how they are now moving away from free landing in restricted landing zones to requiring you follow a path down to the landing zone.

Give it another 8 years and they will be back at removing free flying anywhere on the planet and video cut scenes of you landing.

At which point they will declare their kickstarter goals fulfilled.

Dunno - landing aids are pretty standard in most games - seems ok to me
