Yeah, that's part of the point that I was making. 2 million for such a "feature" when you have teams making entire "games" out of something like that.

There's nothing "cool" about exposed groin level flimsy looking home-made hydraulics.
The craziest ED thing I've seen is a chair with attached joystick/throttle mounts, I'm currently sitting in it with my feet up. They can be easily removed whenever Mrs Stigbob informs me the "geek platforms" must be hidden because of imminent guests and they double as drink/snack holders*. I made them out of a shelf offcut, bits of doweling and some screws total cost less than 75p.
*admittedly unreliable for drinks when transitioning from upright to reclined.
Who's not cheering? I think it's brilliant. I'd love a chair like that.
I don't bash everything SC - credit where it is due and all that.

At least 3 screens or VR, a heater, fan, lights and a drinks mixer
I thought he was building it for VR... for Star Citizen... ahh! I think I can see a flaw in his plan.

Wait, Dual Universe is supposed to have a single-player campaign?

It's not just DU facing stuff like that. Most indie games, especially those in development - including my LoD game - face this sort of thing. It's mostly due to the whole stigma now associated with Early Access games, much like with F2P.
e.g. take a look at the Steam metrics for Angels Fall First, another combined arms type Early Access game with decent graphics and gameplay, but no player base to speak of. That one took has been in dev for quite some time, and started out as a UE3 mod. Quote from their Sept bulletin:
So, which end of the stick have I got again? That's right, the wrong end
DU - I did not read the context properly and thought it was Descent Underground rather than Dual Universe

It's funny, it seems the best way to keep interest up (and money coming in) is to hype like hell, sell concepts for cash, and not actually release anything vaguely playable - just keep teasing and promising......
VR is a thing, not a thing for SC but it is a thing. The chair is a cool idea and the work and knowledge necessary to build that thing and get it to work even in its currently limited capacity is very cool. Not only does the guy have the knowledge to build that thing but the drive to do it. Its only sad because its for a game that will never happen.
I also admire the technical accomplishment - but really you would think that there would be some safety measures.
If there's enough people buying 'willy growing pills' on the interweb, there'll be enough to buy this
Duel Universe is in early access? It has a solo campaign?
Edit: Just read the rest of the posts. so ignore this one.

Nope - I got myself confused with Desent Underground.
I ended up not backing Decent Underground, I didn't like how it started as a MOBA and then changed directions in the middle of the kickstarter in order to get more funds. Or that they wanted $30 for a F2P modeled game. I ended up getting it for Free from some massive give away some time ago (something like 5k free codes handed out). Tried it a few times but have not seen a reason to give it another go (still have it installed and updated), perhaps I will give it another try sometime soon. Right now I am having way too much fun with Titanfall 2, the SP is amazing, perhaps the best FPS one I have ever played. I really love all the mechanics they throw in and the throw back to old platformers.
SC is best left to the imagination. A screen would detract from the experience.
It's in a pretty good place at the moment, stable and lots of stuff has been added since you last had a go - but, I'd say wait for the next update, as the HUD is getting re-vamped and quite a few other things are getting improved - probably will be another update before year end.
And yes, Titanfall 2 is really good - enjoying that myself
My wife looked at backing that game at Kickstart until some of their curious P2W design decisions came out... Back enough at KS and you can be Duke of a Province and everyone will be forced to swear fealty to you and other such oddities.
It's cool but not new, been around for awhile, just didn't make into production. but again it's cool and would be fun to try.
I saw something similar 3.5 years ago, so nothing new.
Is this the one being made by Rob Irving and that wingman guy who were once with CIG?
