G 0 RF Interlude 1

January 31, 2018 | 32 min read | Posted by GOONRATHI

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 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 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:

January Set 10 https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/15666-Bugsmashers At 2:25 there’s some code on screen, which looks very much like CryEngine code and not Lumberyard. CE uses scaleform UI, which is basically flash. LY does not have this, does not come with a scaleform license, and uses a different UI system. So 2.6 was CryEngine, and not Lumberyard. The switch never happened. Called it. They just cherrypicked network stuff from LY onto their codebase, keeping CE specific stuff, essentially still being CryEngine.

January Set 9 Defendants’ Motion seeking dismissal and other relief is without merit: http://docdro.id/v7yQ0LL RSI: You can’t sue us because it was CIG who signed your stupid deal! Skadden: 3. If RSI Is Not A Party To The GLA, Then Crytek’s Claims For Copyright Infringement Are Even Stronger: Defendants’ suggestion that RSI is not bound by the GLA igores the implications that holding would have for Crytek’s claims of copyright infringement.

January Set 8 Thanks for this suggestion who-ever it was (I think it was Gorf) from left to right Sean tracy, Calix Reneau, Tony Z, The Crobbles, The succubus, Matt Sherman, Dave Haddock The best thing is that it seems like SCs worst enemy has always been SC. Nobody knows what’s happening, and nobody seems to actually be thinking about these things. It’s a lot of times like the first time they’ve heard some of these questions, even after they were probably vetted out for being answered.

January Set 5 The last time OSC was posting heavily and backers were enraged I requested an alt check because there were enough discrepancies between the post styles I figured it was a pretty safe bet they weren’t the same guy. Of course if I was wrong it would have been a blue on blue incident to rival that of Leonard Skinly, but that’s just more lols for the thread.

January Set 6 Star Citizen is inexcusable at any stage of development. I think people willfully miss the point that “pre-alpha”, “alpha”, “beta”, etc. are just labels. Even though they have fairly normalized use in the software development world, there is no governing authority for their use, so you can claim your “game” is in whatever stage you feel like calling it. So that’s one aspect - that calling it “alpha” doesn’t really mean anything.

January Set 4 AtV was all about a preview for the new website they are making In just a little over five years Cloud Imperium Games have created 1,016 youtube videos, 4 websites and 0 games. “People are catching on that we’re fudging the funding tracker to bolster backer confidence! But we can’t remove it without arousing suspicion. What if we redid the whole website and omitted the tracker?

January Set 3 CIG responds to CryTek complaint 13 pdf response: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mPjfXrjAf9RUq3_5cJgd-hF-I5XoCQta Leonard French discussion of response: Legal docs (not doxx), grab them while they’re hot. Includes CIG’s response, a motion to dismiss, and a copy of the GLA. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mPjfXrjAf9RUq3_5cJgd-hF-I5XoCQta Comedy addendum: they really did invoke the “wrong company” defense. This is the first time we expected something in 2 weeks and CIG delivered early!
