For the Petite Formicidae...

A little something I mocked up in Space Engineers, playing with the artificial gravity. Very similar to how the Millennium Falcon's artificial gravity changes direction in its turrets.

This is from a ten year old game. Seriously, "nested gravity fields" are kind of old hat these days...
Had real trouble dealing with mining debris on my very first (and best experience) Space Engineer playthrough: The red ship had a grav generator for itself but all the rock and precious mats flew off in all directions so I went with "what if" I configure the gravity field to extent where the drills are? And thus the rocks fell "to the ground" and were easily collected. Playing with such forces is fun, probably one of the best gravity funs implemented I had in Valve games: Portal 1&2 and HL2. I tried to create a gravity driven gun in SE - the principle worked but the outcome was lacking. The whole process was what makes these builder games so interesting. You go with idea, you prototype, you improve, and then you try to reduce (size, power, heat etc. - that's the hardest part)
 
The "tools" were just a convenient lie to stretch customer expectations. Just like "building the company". Stretch it out enough and a good part lose track and interest and forget their "investment". For the others there are different means of deception used, but I'd say the delay tactics is likely one of the most successful elements in their scam.

Funny thing is, from 2012 - 2014, when they were talking about delivering the BDSSE in just 2-3 years, they never talked about having to build the company first or to make the tools necessary to make the game.

They said it was going well and things were on track for delivery. As late as 2014 they are on record multiple times saying they were close to delivery.

They always tell you there is a thing cropping up before the final result can be achived. Jesus tech, tools, companies needing building - blablabla for sheep who give money for stuff that is never delivered.
 
Surely they need to mine the copper first. To make the cables. To reach the servers. Surely?
Nooooooo! Simple copper won’t do for CI-G!

A DAC is far too simple and elegant a solution for Genuine Roberts. He will demand the finest transceivers and helium spun optics. They probably have custom firmware so that they present as RSI devices.

They still don’t quite reach the rack though.
 
Its getting worse

Sub 1000 hour.

Will we soon see a zero dollar hour?

Or will we soon see another concept ship sale?
 
Both Spectrum and the SC reddit have quite high levels of salt at the moment.

Pre-CitizenCon blues i guess. Once CIG reveal their big plans for the coming year i'm sure the rose tinted glasses will be restored.

Someone asking about their BMM.... the one CIG "put a pin in it"

Don't forget "CIG never "promised" it". CIG only said it, set expectations, failed to respond to backers misunderstanding, maybe even reiterated it a few times, but they never "promised" it so it doesnt count.

They have been crossing their fingers behind their back this whole time. Smart play actually

:D

LOL, people telling the guy to take a break from SC and play BG3 or Starfield! Remember people arguing that games like BG3 and Starfield can't be compared? Doesn't matter, because compare or not, people are playing them, and they are not playing SC as much or buying as many JPGs.

Take a break. This is a marathon, not a sprint.
The project also doesn't require you to have faith. It will carry on regardless of how you feel about it. Gamedev at that scale just takes a lot of time, especially with the sort of complexity they are dealing with.

Its not a marathon. A marathon has a finish line.

The project might not require individuals to have faith, but it requires enough people to keep the faith and keep buying JPGs to keep the funding going. If enough people lose interest, it will not carry on regardless.
