I pity the guy, you could see he was overly nervous and that a lot of work went into it. It would be shame if it all went down the drain.

Yeah, He probably had a 5 min presentation planned, then was told he had to do 25 mins to cover missing stuff.

I hate doing presentations, even though it was part of my job...

Yeah, it's the sort of project I might put together but I would absolutely brick it if I had to give to a presentation to more than 5 people. Unfortunately I suspect CIG is the sort of outfit where technical ability is secondary to your ability to talk utter excrement and whip the followers into a screaming, money throwing mob.

I can tell I need an afternoon coffee. Poor Johnny.

You only get a single chance
The rules are very plain
The truth is well concealed inside
The Terms of Service of the game

You can hear it coming
You can see it from afar
It's huge and it judders
Like a stolen Dune sandworm

And up there in the Bengal
They're showing us the dream
By sticking console controllers in our hands
And paying us to stream

Can you find the Sataball?
Can you bring it soon?
Lost Johnny's out there
Baying at the Moon

The time has come for you to choose
You'd better get it right
Squadron 42 or Elite Dangerous
Which can you play all night?

But you oughta back the project
It surely can't be hard
But we know Roberts promise
Make a movie not a game.

And underneath the city
The Avocati sing
About how commandos cannot dance
Since no budget for emotes

Run and get refactoring
For Roberts sake make it brief!
Lost Johnny's out there
Looking at his P45

Now Roberts looks so clueless
And you know he really tries
But every time he makes a speech
The backer number dives

And Sandi buys her underwear
From a store where no one goes
She makes it big in reality-tv shows
On the strength of her marketing degrees

Then in every CIG communication
Ben Lenslock still screams
Go buy a Polaris
And fulfill your space dreams

I think the coffee level is about right... Nicely done. :D
(and, err, virtual rep again. [sad])

I pity the guy too...noone told him he had to incorporate fidelity and immersion in his presentation together with refractoring in order to make it good for the SC fans...

Asp if you ever get sick of doing whatever you do, the now show on radio 4 could use parody songs that good.

Just imagine his pre-Citcon meeting with CR...
Hey Johnny, come sit down.
Hi Mr. CR.
Ok, yeah, ummm, look, something's wrong <cough> with SQ42 so we won't be able to show it, and the rest is already set-up, so I'll need you to prolong your presentation...
But, Mr. CR, my presentation is 5min long, just a few slides about the most important aspects, and <gets cut off>
Yeah well, ummm, we need to fill the gap of 25min, so...make it happen. Oh, and ummm, by the way, make it sound interesting and complicated. Good luck!

Should have just been like, "Well, thanks for the impossible task!"

And then played 25 minutes of Major Tom videos.

That's just Chris making him think "bigger"

Talk about how I made you think bigger. Mention that a few times. Chris wanted you to think bigger. That's my thing.

Johnny mutters "I've had enough of this crap, I'm gonna leave and get a job in the Czech Republic..."

CR " Hey Johnny - I've got some good news for you!"

:D

Refactor the proceedural immersion for embiggened hand-crafted fidelities! It's the state of the shart!

If there's anything better, I've stumbled across it yet... I guess with a lot of features like glaciation and river deltas Outerra gets something of a free pass because they're already in the SRTM data. Frontier have a lot of work cut out for them to add these proceedurally, but I don't think think it would be glaringly obvious if they're missing.

Can be done I posted about that some time ago.
