Star Citizen Discussions v7

At root, the problem, at least as I see it, is that the crowd-funding was too successful too quickly. The huge amounts of cash gushing into the project opened up huge new vistas of potential development, and CR, with his "visionary" vision, just couldn't resist chucking as many concepts into the mixer as he could think them up.

There must be times in the wee small hours when he wakes up and thinks "How in hell am I ever going to make good on all the stuff I said would be in the game?". And then another sackload of cash falls out of the money tree and he just thinks "Sod it".

Problem is it didn't open really anything. Software development is really, really complex and anyone ready to map 150M against certain gameplay features are just lying trough their teeth. They should have suck with their base plans and build from there. Good planning and management would certainly land SC in good place.
 
Well, they ARE amassing a rather impressive amount of tools that will be available for players later on. They had plans to release their own building tools to allow people to convert the game in several ways on private servers.

- Planetary sculpting tool
- System generator tool
- Mission generator
- FOIP for generating NPC facial animations

Could please, COULD. Because they also had plan to release many things many months ago but nothing's here yet, y'know.

And given the context, as for the currently postponed private servers, I bet many of these tools given to players remain in the wishful thinking blurry area.

I need to find and sticky the video where Disco states that one of the 5 talking heads will probably be dead before they even start on private servers...
They are still selling the modding manual on the website last time I checked ;)
 
"Everything's been pushed back an hour to UK time", she says.

...and the whales still whoop and applaud...

L Ron Hubbard missed a trick with this lot...
 
I had to stop watching. I thought it was crowdfunding making this game possible, not getting into bed with other companies and ing yourself out for them.

Shame on you Roberts.

PS. I laughed when he missed his cue to come on stage :D
