"We've got our work cut out for us"

We're nowhere near having anything remotely useful for anything like what would be acceptable for any other production product and we've got a year left.

You forgot to include "after over a decade of development time" at the end.

Nice range of replies under Morph's vid...

Sarcasm:

How can S42 be in polishing when they still haven't finalised the ship to ship combat system yet. Are they set in different eras?

This just in: Early investors, during a recent board meeting, emphasized their development concerns by silently standing atop their office chairs.

Copium:

There’s also the potential income from selling StarEngine licenses, so it’s not necessarily the games they need to release in ‘25 or ‘28.

To be clear: There are no Investors linked to the games star citizen or squadron 42. The investors bought shares of CIG as a company. In the worst case CIG would have to pour some backer money into dividends to keep the investors happy.

I think we're good and the little amount of incentive to deliver 95% soon with the option to deliver the remaining 5% over time rather than 100% in ten years from now is probably for the better.

Concern:

If, after all these years, the game emerges as a rushed mess, the player base will have the incandescent fury of 1000 suns.

So... backers are investors of 2nd class?

What investors, when we "backers" paid almost a billion dollar? Aren't we the investors? If not and any Investors - who aren't backers - want their money back, then I want my money back first, because then they cheated on me!

Rage:

That’s what I though awhile ago too. No one lends money without wanting it back in a reasonable time. Chris bent a knee. We have grounds to sue.

CIG is famous for lying. You should absolutely be concerned, CIG messed up bringing in private investors when the the original point of the kickstarter was to NOT rely on private investments. They better finish this crap, or we are going to find and persecute the pee out of that idiot Chris

About a year and 3/4 supposedly.

Plenty of time to build some networking. And the game on top...

So around 2 years.

I seem to of heard that before. Can't think where
Something, something, stale etc etc etc

 

[VR Golgot]

Oh they're totally gonna miss their mark

But they do seem to be slowly jumbling towards some kind of actual launch attempt. And I'm totally here for it

 

[Agony_Aunt]

Odd how I don't see Golgot's comment under Morph's pinned correction unless I set the sort order to "newest". It's probably just Youtube being Youtube.

If you sort by top comments it only shows a few comments (only god knows what it bases that on, because upvotes don't seem to be it). If you sort by latest, it shows all the comments.

5 systems on release = 95% now, 5% later? That sounds a lot like SC Backer Math.

 

[VR Golgot]

I don't even know how to classify this one...

Military Grade Cope-spiracy?

Would t be surprised backers are only like 35% of the money they made. You forget the big investors thst cig never told us about and the other corps or governments hell I've heard in my time in us military intelligence that cig server meshing would make drone and bot nets so easy

They might be on to something. The military love paying for overpriced stuff that is just regular stuff branded as being better than anything else.

 

[Skizomeuh]

Meanwhile in NMS... Another free update, bringing once again features CIG struggle to, along with some CIG never will.

Just watching. They are having server meshing with seamless transitions. Got to laugh.

Dune: Sand Wurmies! Base Building! Meshing!

Yeah, but they also like their stuff to work. If SC code piloted their drones they would randomly explode, try to stand on chairs and then try to phase through the ground.

Lol

Mobiglas:

• Some of the apps are still in Flash
• Starmap is not an enjoyable experience at all. Made him feel like Bone at Citcon. Feels a lot like the old Starmap.

And just a lot of stuff on most things either being too broken to test, or the patch being too unstable to allow testing

 

[Factabulous]

I especially liked the section on Item Interaction:

• It's great that everything interactable can now be seen as it as a big 'F' marker
• .. but this really doesn't work in shops as everything has a big 'F' marker

Lucky it is still early days

So CIG giving a big F to users?

How about idiocy?

 

[VR Golgot]

It's cool that CIG have finally got an interaction system that mainly works for all their many interactible items.

It's still kinda notable that there's no real reason to interact with 99% of them though

(Beyond 'make your own fun' / 'throw a Pico at each other' stuff. But it kinda feels like 'here's stuff to keep you and your processor busy' in lieu of the actual game stuff...)
