Out of the 300 million that Star Citizen raised, the incompetent chucklefucks developing it only have 14 million left. That's about one year, if they stretch it a little. Star Citizen's death is VERY close, unless they do ANOTHER kickstarter, or suddenly raise a billion dollars through their store.

I wasn't certain on the exact number but I am certail it was tripple digits.

The number of planets isn't that big a deal since they are going to be procedurally generated and then touched up with hand placed bases and landmarks. The game has much bigger hurdles than that.

They bought like a 10k coffee machien for their offices

To nobody's surprise.

So Derek Smart was 900% correct then huh

The "Star Citizen ARK Starmap" lists 338 planets.
The vast majority are barren if not some form of uninhabitable planet type that are sure to be some quickly put together procedurally generated sphere. But among the many that are to be colonized or inhabited to any significant degree and given some actual hand-designed detail, only a select few are remotely close to a presentable state.

>It may seem silly, but there are real victims. Ken Lord is a 39-year-old data scientist from the Denver area, who suffers from worsening multiple sclerosis. Lord first backed Star Citizen in 2013 and eventually spent $4,500 buying spaceships. Last year, Lord unsuccessfully sued Cloud Imperium for a refund. “You take something that is bad, like spending too much money on a video game, and turn it into a socially exclusive club and make it desirable—cheers to their marketing department,” he says. (Bizarrely, Lord, who claims to have “poor impulse control,” continued to buy more spaceships after his lawsuit failed.)

Nice

I've been playing Elite Dangerous for almost 5 years now, and it's being updated with new features all the time.

It blows my mind that people are still waiting for SC at this point. That sunk cost fallicy at work.

The Jew does not lose his money. Take your meds

Not necessarily no, there are games without being able to land on planets or without mining.

Yep. He'll one of the largest expeditions in ED history was a few months ago. The game has consistently grown in player numbers and features, and a major update is coming out in 2020.

I just find it a stupid claim, there must be something that's been recently added that is actually a basic feature right?

You could always try Starsector if that's what you're interested in

i put 30 dollars down from kickstarter, thats it. So far it has given me a ton of free shit though that is collecting dust. I dont know when this garbage fire is gonna be released, but knowing I got a variety of free shit for being an early adopter is ok I guess. No desire to purchase anything else if i cant actually see or use it. Finding it real hard to believe how dumb people are and how much money they sink into fucking nothing.

nah. SC will never ever be fully playable. once they run out of money they'll tighten the screws and bring together the functional features they have and that's it. it'll remain an unfinished void of a game forever, I have not a shred of doubt about this. SC is vaporware due to incompetent leadership and it was from day 1. roberts just can't plan a feasible project.

I respect ED because the flight physics look good and the art style is solid. I'd play it if I was a joystick flight sim kinda guy, no doubt. I hope you're telling the truth and the game gets bigger and better. flight sims died way before FPS and somehow you guys are still around, it's almost inspiring. all the best from a FPS fan.

People on Yea Forums don't read. It's written like something straight out of Naked Lunch.

this is called "buying things"

gee maybe if they had stuck to that original model they could have shipped on time, it's almost like they're just promising shit they know they can't deliver so they can take the money and disappear into the south pacific one day and leave their """""investors""""" high and dry.

it seems more like they're throwing away the money on frivolous shit during development and maybe slightly siphoning it away into their personal accounts, just so they can claim they tried their best during the inevitable lawsuit when they still have no game when they run out of money

A full blown scam

The words "Star Citizen" today is what the words "Michael Jackson" used to be in the mid-90s: A punchline that didn't need a joke.

Made by the Yea Forumslancer guys too.

and even the """good""" indie games are still just mediocre reddit-tier ripoffs of classic japanese games that lack the soul of the originals.

Star Citizen is a game of exploration and combat on a much larger scale than any VR games we've seen yet from the likes of Oculus. It requires your imagination to get lost here though as we've created a tutorial system similar to Minecraft to get you started, showing you everything from how to craft items to how to build ships to learn the basic mechanics of building a Star Citizen experience. Let's dive deep into all of that and see what we can dig through to get you started.

The first thing we need to do is pick up a game (if you're not already in Star Citizen) and load it up in your VR headset to give you a decent experience. I've used both Vive and Rift this time around and although my initial experiences weren't what I'd call "high" in the sense of a very solid VR experience, I managed to run through most of the demo sequences within a little time. What I've found is that a bit of patience here and there can often make VR games faster for people looking for a quick one out run. This is especially true as you can see the initial load screen is not the most immersive in your VR headset, but I do wish that you could adjust the resolution to get a better gaming experience.

If you're already in Star Citizen, there's a bit of a learning curve here.

It's not a 'coffee' machine it was a luxury cappucino machine for rich folk and coffee houses. That's not what a normal company buys for their workforce.

mind if i laugh at you?

Attached: nelson-muntz.jpg (264x246, 9K)

What fucking profit are you going to get from Star Citizen? Best case scenario is that you're paying for the opportunity to "invest" more money one the game is up and running.

you donated $40 too much

I think Roberts was genuine, but then he just got too much money. See, when you get that much money, you have to justify it, so you over promise. Then you of course want the money to keep coming so you make more promises. The result is what should be a normal game spirals out of control to some shapeless monster with no real direction like Star Citizen.

Then greed got the best of him. He just got addicted to all that money. Selling .jpg ships was great. They also need to have an infusion of cash to keep going, since despite raising 200 million I'm certain they've spent most of it.

The project is basically everything you're not supposed to do in design.

fuck off cultist, the game has been 8 years in some sort of development. The kickstarter was in fucking 2012. If they wanted to use that excuse they should have released the small scale game first, which by the way, is still in development as one of the TWO games they're making at once.

So the DS5 will be just a WIi U gamepad? Well I guess it's nothing new for Sony to copy Nintendo's gimmicks.

The developers install fancy Star Trek doors on their office

They have a youtube you can follow development here

Wait they just finished the fucking engine? I remember they said the first chapter would release three years ago
LMAOing at starcucks

>what in the actual fuck have they spent the money on
two planets apparently

If they have two they are halfway to inifinity, it's all just procedural shuffling of assets from here on out. Assuming they aren't doing varied biomes ofc. If they ARE doing varied biomes the game will not come out in next decade anyway so it's a pointless talk.

LOL wasting your life on student loans for stupid degrees.

Mostly highly detailed assets. That shit is expensive and time consuming.

So not yet. ED seems like a fairly different game, don't know why people keep bringing it up.

remember when
>chris was fucking around on a yacht
>they bought a 15k or something coffee maker
>installed star trek doors
and thats just shit I can remember having seen pics of
fuck knows what other shit theyve pissed away their money on
I think people tend to get lost in the big numbers and fail to realise the scale of $300,000,000
there is no fucking way in hell that there isnt a fucking game yet if we're assuming they put even a quarter of that money into making a game
ALL WE HAVE ARE ASSETS AND A SKELETON OF SOME GAME MECHANICS THEY KEEP "RE-INVENTING"
god damn I would love to look at their private financial report

you say that but middle managers for that sort of shit don’t want to hire someone smarter than them. if you don’t get a job in white collar land, you are ffffffuuuuuuuuuucked

Honestly, what else should they have spend the money on if not quality of life improvements for the devs? Disregard the fucking yacht, that's fucking retarded to spend money on.

Chris Roberts is what would happen if Peter Molyneux, Todd Howard, and Sean Murray all got into a Star Trek transport and there was a glitch and they all got combined together into one person like in that one episode of Voyager.

>highly detailed assets

now that I've seen what a professional software group in real life looks like, it blows my fucking mind
it doesn't cost that much to hire competent project managers and put together structured teams, what the fuck is even going on there
our company's product is loads more complex than this game probably is and development overall was something like 50 million

Automatic shekel vacuums were installed into every in-game ship. They attach right onto the player characters pockets and everything.

>continued to buy more spaceships after his lawsuit failed
He might as well just go all in since he's stuck with that investment

No it's not. In reality most modern Jewlywood actors are mediocre at best and even worse when given a mediocre script. Which Chris is definitely going to provide seeing his past shit record.

All Jewlywood actors are overpriced and absolutely unnecessary for any video game. Waste of fucking money, time and licencing just so this fat hack could feel a little bit validated like the Jewlywood kike worshiping mutt that he is. Fuck movies, fuck Hollywood and fuck the retarded pieces of shit trying to blend them into video games.

Adding "jew" to everything makes you hard to take seriously, user.

can you even blame him for scamming people when retards like this behave like literal human cattle

Cringe

>May never be ready to play
>People have been playing it for half a decade almost

It's an actual game, at least.

This is true. Video games would not even exist in a communist society.

It's also something I wouldn't want to play.

everyone shit on em but i rather wait for a good game then typical garbage games that we get these days

didn't they post a picture of some crazy expensive coffee making machine? I remember seeing that picture and being like WTF are they doing with the money...

I'm not a /pol/nigger but Hollywood is literally a nepotistic devil infested breeding ground for pozzery, propaganda and money laundering. Kikes literally founded it. It's the one thing they're proudly responsible for without any need of conspiracy to prove it.

>roadmap full of features that constantly get delayed and shifted into the next quarter release
>next quarter now promises more features than they can feasibly finish
>so the next features get delayed into the next patch
>repeat until money dries out

Actual development started in 2013, but the first two years was a development hell due to the constant change in scope. The current phase of development started in 2016 and they're moving pretty fast since then, but it's still in early alpha because the server-side techology they're bulding (called server-meshing, meaning each planet will have its own server and you'll travel between servers seamlessly), has turned out very complicated. On the other hand, Squadron 42 (their single-player game set in the same universe), its quite mature and the first episode will come around 2022.

I've only been backing since May ($45 to play the game with a starter ship), preciselly after I read the forbes article, wanted to check it out for my self, and the thing looks really, really promising, and they have a very detailed roadmap, they release constant developer updates too. But yes, the scope is something not seeing in any videogame before, and comparatively smaller projects like GTAV or Witcher 3 had a period of 6+ years development and they were done in already consolidated companies, unlike Cloud Imperium that was built from scratch around this project alone.

You can't just make a game from money, you need to spend it on something.

When are they going to make Star Citizen 2?
The first one made money.

They're developing the episodes in parallel. Beta next year, but I say full release in 2022 considering they'll have several episodes to release in the next months after that.

How are you still mad about this?

You do realize that you don't have to agree with everything you read, correct?

>industry-grade espresso machines make games

I didn't say that. Can you just answer the question?

Literally the whole goal of the space race was to land on the moon. Doing all that other shit is just bragging you got a prettier race car, but until you win the Grand Prix it doesn't mean shit.

I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm calling you a dumdum for retroactively falling for exploitative marketing based on nothing but self-induced imagination

This grifter looks like he's a prime candidate for an assassination. Just saying.

>you
I'm not him, user. I have no stake in Star Citizen. In fact, I've never participated in crowd funding at all.

I'm just saying that disagreeing with Forbes is easy. I do it all the time.

user landing on the moon is a waste of time. Which is why nobody is doing it. Not even NASA has the tech to "go back there".
Meanwhile satellites and space stations are still being used.

Look how things play out for most money launderers. Its not pretty. Turns out when you steal money from lots of people to fund your lifestyle they arent so keen to forgive and forget. Whatever happens to him, he had it coming.

I feel kinda bad for you fren.

>Roberts will spend the rest of his days checking for car bombs and glowniggers and Shekelstein's Pajeet Citizen falls drastically below Reddit's standards.

I swore back when the kickstarter was brand new that if this turned out to be a scam, I'd find Roberts and mug him for the money I spent.

friendly little reminder this scumbag hired HIS OWN BROTHER to manage squadron 42 project. If you still support this greedy nepotistic fuck you're retarded and deserve you money to be used for his vacations

More like instead of blindly trusting journalists, I decided to contrast other sources that led me to believe that indeed, I maybe shouldn't blindly trust the media, enough to get me interested in the thing, check it out for myself, to fully realize I really should not blindly trust media. The only thing I risked in any case, was having to get a refund.

Don't be, even if the game cancels development tomorrow, I got many ours of fun from those $45 bucks.

I posted I hoped someone had a picture of the twitter post of that coffee maker its stupid huge, like something Starbucks would have

I remember back in 2013 when I thought this exact shit

never mind i found it

So no, thanks for clearing that up.

You guys realize that having a coffee maker in your office is completely normal, right? If you're going to have 50 codemonkeys needing coffee day and night this is a perfectly sound investment.

Please fren you have to stop

the post that went with this picture was this:

It’s hard to believe that after receiving a mind-blowing USD150,000,000 in crowd-funding that Star Citizen could be in any kind of financial peril. And yet, here we sit, digesting the fact that Cloud Imperium Games, creators of Star Citizen, has had to apply for additional funding from UK bank Coutts & Co.

Not only that, but they’ve had to offer up everything they own as collateral.

The IP for Star Citizen, all assets tied to the game, all of its code, distribution rights and so on. That’s huge.

Just play underspace instead

Don't worry, it goes to important stuff. Like doors.

not a 13k one... Sure if it was like 1k w/e no big deal but at this point they were already having money issues and though fuck it lets spend over 12k on a coffee maker...

I dunno. I've never been in charge of a 300 million dollar game. I probably don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.

He also hired his wife into marketing. Guess who came up with the JPEG sales, the time-limited offers, the buyable landclaiminsurancewhatever, the "upgrade your ship for only 100 additional bucks", the compulsive spending badges and handpicked-whales-only spacecarrier auctions?

This is literally every businesses. Welcome to the real world you need connections to get anywhere

Nobody can say what else to spend the money on though, having a better coffee maker will likely increase productivity by keeping the developers more happy.

How come nobody has put this guy in the ground yet?

I didn't see this one... holy fuck...

With $300 mil they could have contracted an existing game studio to do all the heavy work for them while Roberts does the directing.

until they loose their jobs because nobody can be paid, then I'm sure they would say fuck this coffee maker fuck these stupid ass 10k doors we made wtf were we doing?

Ooof

Bitch is proof of subterranean lizard people

Yeah that was ten years ago.

The only people currently giving him money are delusional cultists. They won't turn on their messiah no matter what.

They did that for the FPS module. Turns out that not keeping your outsource studio in the loop of all the sweeping engine changes you're making will result in all their work not re-integrating back into the main branch.

hmmm

They did that already. Can't just keep adding devs though, diminishing returns and way more overhead.
So you're suggesting they should've hoarded the money to last as long as possible while not giving it to the devs to try and make the job conditions better? I think it's smarter to try and get the game out faster to be honest.

God, you're making me want to resub to EVE.

1K wouldnt buy a toilet roll holder that's meant to serve dozens of salarymen

the way this game has been going from the start what with its expensive space ships costing literal thousands of dollars will make this the most pay to win game ever made, worse than dungeon keeper mobile and battlefront 2.

I mean both of those look like they took the basic outline of the Nadesico, so...

Elite dangerous is a work of art, but god damn is it boring as fuck... its dying a slow death without deep social features, it needs a massive overhaul to netcode, more interactive shared social features, it needs ship interiors and spacelegs, npcs walking around you can interact with, it needs social spaces on stations,, it needs more ground vehicles, gas giant refueling and battles, it needs bigger ships, planetary faction/clan bases/base building

It feesl like a quarter complete version of what could be the best space game ever.

Frontier seem happy to just add ships and cosmetics and thargoid reskins. If they dont add something significant this year or next year the game is dead IMO.

He isn't wrong about Hollywood though

I have a cheap shitty 60 dollar coffee machine at work, no complaints from anyone... last time i checked coffee is coffee no matter what maker it comes out of

THREE HUNDRED FUCKING MILLION

What the fuck.

reminds me of Anthem in a way where the developers had all these vast, incredible ideas for their make believe game that would be the best game ever, yet had none of the talent or time required to accomplish those goals

kind of like kids on a playground coming up with the "greatest game ever" and it will have this this and this and this... but of course its all just a dream.

And I have a 15 dollars french press with an electric kettle that makes coffee that tastes 10 times better than the swill from your pot.

I have no illusions that my french press and kettle would be enough to service a video game development staff though

If the fans ever develop enough brain mass to file a lawsuit, we can take out the popcorn

>so what you're saying is
>it's smarter to try and get the game out faster
are you actually believing the bullshit spewing out of your mouth? how much self-delusion does it take to write this kind of crap and hit send

/r/starcitizen

Right now it seems they have the collective brain mass of one healthy solanum tuberosum... so we're a bit of a ways off yet.

What kind of quoting structure is this? 2 out of context sentences? What do you mean by this?

Kek

But user nothing stops you from slaving away in a mining tincan while Whale McWhale and his whale friends roll up in a multi-crew mining barge and outmine you 100:1.
Some day you, too, will be able to afford the latest meta PvP ship so you can have a chance at winning a dogfight over nothing but empty space in a procedural development hell simulation.

arent the people donating millionaires themselves? THey are giga whales who won't mind the game taking 20 years to release.

in order to unironically type these kind of sentences you have to be a grade A cultist (or your entire frontal cortex removed, it's only semantics anyway)

Another proof that open world crowd has very low standards, publishers are necessary and that crowdfunding is bananas

Literally half of ot applies to store citizen.

to be honest, his brother was in charge of the lego games, they turned out pretty well

So you also have no idea what you're talking about. Stop bitching about the fucking coffee maker, that's a valid investment. Complain about the game taking ages, or there only being 2 planets or some shit.

the moment video games started actively wasting my time and shaking me down for cash in order to even be remotely fun is when I stopped buying them

that being said I still play indies and very specific AAA games like cyberpunk and doom eternal

Honestly is it really a surprise the gaming industry is so fucked now. Gamers put up with way too much shit like microtransactions, lootboxes, skins, Scamed Kickstarters, etc. When we call this shit out there’s honestly no point anymore. There’s always someone there to defend it or some new nightmare that takes it’s place. Passed the point of return at this point.

Remember it's not pay2win because YOU yes (You) define winning

their eyes do not see past silky smooth 20 fps even while staring into the empty void, so as long as you silently remove promised features from the roadmap and insert them somewhere else later they won't even notice

I mean, it seemed impossible to do with 2012 tech and hardware, why would someone back that shit

A coffee maker may be an alright investment. A $13k coffee maker is not.

Well sounds like she's good at her job

Anthem was in preproduction for like 6 years and they cobbled together a game in the last 2
