February Set 6

February Set 6 G0RF YOUTUBE: Calling All Devs 1 - “When will Persistence log us back in to the last place we logged out of?” Chad McKinney (who seems like a cool guy) explains that it formerly did work via a Rube Goldberg machine of code but several changes to Persistence broke it and it will need to be re-fixed. McKinney says the fix will come by 3.1, yet in the wrap-up Lando — sensing the obvious, terrifying threat of unambiguous commitments to fix that which formerly worked via the next patch — helpfully corrects him, saying “You said it will definitely be in by 3.

February Set 5 Virtual Captain The Road To Eternity team on team size: “We try to keep the team as small as possible, figure it out first. Then once we enter production we can add more people to the team.” CIG on team size in (2014): If anything you can say Chris has kickstarted a small economy with the number of people and talent he is hiring not to mention the equipment and facilities he is also having to buy/rent/lease.

February Set 4 Regarding the beautiful forests in Kingdom Come Deliverance: They did the same with the Nemesis system from Mordor. Chris Roberts says “Oh we’ll have that but it’ll be even better” without any concept or thought into what it involves or the amount of work the programmers and designers went in to making it and balancing it…No, just a simple thing for the fans to go “Oh we’ll have this as well!

February Set 3 Scruffpuff TheAgent each lot is around $85. I mean holy shit. holy fucking shit that’s almost $45,000 in housing. the estimated total spend for him on Shroud of the Avatar is something like $100,000 to $125,000 and he’s just now complaining about p2w mechanics, lol the icing on this is his burning hatred of wow, a game which he never played and is about 21398103109283 billion times better than shroud in every single possible way

February 9th Anticipation Station

February 9th Anticipation Station CIG Responds to Crytek's Response Very boring document: https://www.scribd.com/document/370105345/031127439162 Annoying effort legal post incoming! The motion will get denied, as it is being filed under FRCP 12(b)6. This particular rule in the charming Federal Rules of Civil Procedure handbook states that a motion can be filed in defense “for failure to state a claim for which relief can be granted.” This denial is indisputable and inarguable because the standard for a dismissal under FRCP rule 12(b)6 is “In appraising the sufficiency of a complaint for failure to state a claim is that a complaint should not be dismissed …unless it appears beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would entitle him to relief.

February Set 2 TheAgent hello I am not discussing the ongoing legal battle. I will not and won’t ever utter a word about that. What I will talk about is scope and it’s ongoing reduction; something our backers should know and understand now, and not when it suddenly confronts them. I want to discuss the often quoted “game development,” specifically when I see our backers pair this with “you don’t understand.

G0RF Interlude 1 Read the first post in its entirety, skim the rest as needed. As far as ship sales and chris roberts goes i’d make the argument that a lot of what we’ve seen so far is the results of attempting to make a game in technologically uncharted territory and announcing it the day development starts. I think the biggest reason we’ve only seen ship sale after ship sale is due to how damned ridiculous the technological requirement of this project are, and how little they have had to build off of.

January Set 12 CIG employee slips persistence misadventure “Stolen ships, no matter how well the theft, will not be a long-term thing. You get to enjoy them for the session, but those ships will not be returning when you log back in. Stealing ships should be a short-term goal. Joyriding, piracy or selling them for scrap, not for growing your own fleet.” The gradual walking back of promised features and gameplay continues:

January 2018 Set 11 TheAgent I just had a summons for jury duty in march if I somehow end up on the skadden / fkks jury selection, my life will finally be complete Scruffpuff There are so many vectors converging on that single point in time known as the Collapse of Star Citizen that it’s nearly impossible to track them all, but here you touch on two of them:
