Ok, I apologize.
Mommy, daddy, someone at Escapist, and Smart
So it doesn't look like a campaign of awareness but a campaign of bitter jealousy.
Stay classy though!
Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.

I respond accordingly.
That's why.
Wait let me guess that's those pesky citizens doing, isn't it?

After reaching 5.37 M$ in November, and not much less in October and December 2015.
Yep, poor poor "flatlining" Star Citizen.
Have fun
And he was not too fond of the game as he wrote in the GameStar magazine and website.
Not too fond.... like the other 86 % of 141 user reviews of LOD (Steam Review: "Very negative")
Have fun

2) I have never - ever - taken "private investment money" at my company, for any game. LOD is no different. I own my company and my games 100%, and continue to fund them 100% by me and from sales of prior works. That's what being in business for almost THREE DECADES gets you.
3) The "much maligned" game you're talking about, is more of a game NOW than Star Shitizen will ever be. Plus, like ALL my games, it WILL be finished and DELIVERED exactly as promised; regardless of who likes it or doesn't.
4) The game being in Early Access is not about money or it would be cheaper to get in. Get your facts right. And nobody asked anyone to buy it. And I'm certainly not selling JPEG of ships (which may or may not end up as designed and paid for by backers).
5) Comparing the current state of LOD to SC is more obnoxious thing that I keep reading. This despite the fact that while SC is still a tech demo, LOD currently has over 90% of it's features completed; and working. But since YOU guys brought it up, enjoy. This is LOD as it is TODAY, RIGHT NOW.

It always warms my heart when you say Star Citizen, cultists lose their collective minds and say "Derek Smart" or "Line Of Defense". As if comparing an indie effort to a $110M "game", built by a team that was over 500 at one point, is somehow worthy of discussion.
Game developers are just human beings who happen to make games for a living.

or that the remaining people who still on these forums that remotely support this project after the trolls have trolled them away even know who this person is. When I ask 'who is this person' I litterally have no idea who he is or care

Makes a ton of sense
Also, it's a pretty amazing delusion. Even the average gamer would prefer exploring their personal hangar in Star Citizen to playing LOD.
At least, I'd be surprised to hear otherwise.
Chris did not write the flight model for SC
Chris is not and never was the primary programmer on SC
Chris hasn't written any code for SC since 2012 (last I heard)
Chris has demonstrated to the WORLD, that a) he doesn't know how to play his own "game" b) he remains clueless as to the mess that his "game" is in. To the extent that MANY publications (including Forbes) saw it fit to make NEWS out of it. Yes, they did.
Chris only cares about the performance acting of SQ42 (which nobody gives a toss about) because him and Sandi think that's their ticket back into Hollywood.
Now, here's the thing. You guys spend ALL your time and energy on ad hominem, time wasting circle jerk, and stroking JPEGs of ships that may never see the light of day etc. However, you have MANY avenues of asking these SAME questions to Chris.
"Hey Chris, that Derek Smart guy compares your programming skills to that of a script kiddie. What aspects of SC did you program?"
You can ask him here:
- social media (surprise! he's not active there)
- on the forums (shocker! he hasn't posted there in years last I checked)
- on 104TC (surprise! he will probably not select the question for answering)
- comment section on chairman updates (shocker! he won't respond; since he never does)
This is the part where you go "fuck, I've just been p0wned. do I get a free tee shirt?"

Yes, he wrote some of the code - and you just acknowledged it again. That's all the use I had for your statement.
As for the rest of your empty and irrational bravado - I can't say it makes any more of an impression than the rest of your delusional "big words".
Funny thing is that I used to admire what you accomplished with Battlecruiser. Yes, it was incredibly broken and flawed - but the fact that you had done so much of it yourself was quite impressive.
If only that massively unwarranted ego had let you work well with others. Then we might have had two Star Citizens on the horizon today.
Sadly, you chose to let your ego rule the day and slowly break down in public.

I suppose when you're struggling to make a living, you have to take every opportunity to get some free advertising, while simultaneously trying to knock the competition...
LOD is a small indie effort amongst thousands of others, the only place where it will be remembered is on Derek Smart's CV... much like the rest of his games.
We all know that linking to another site without specifics is "smart" talk for yet another "I have no actual proof".

With the exception of #14 and #15 which are owned by Ortwin, NONE of the above entities existed BEFORE the Star Citizen project. And that's an ABSOLUTE FACT.And as we have seen in the current version, there is NOTHING in SC that is either ground-breaking, innovative or even worthy of mention, that couldn't have been built with a single studio, right here on US soil.
No, instead, for example, he built a company (F42) for his brother so he can go make SQ42.
Your move.

Again, studio is one word. Company is another word. They are separate words for a reason.
How about answering my question instead.
What COMPANIES have been funded with SC funds that are NOT a part of Star Citizen development in any way?
No, that's bullshit. It doesn't make ANYTHING "faster or efficient". Heck, five years + $110M + 500+ people has yielded a tech demo with NONE of the FIDELITY or GROUND BREAKING things PROMISED.
Instead, they've used staged demos - and the current mPU tech demo - to continue raising funds. This despite the fact that Chris has gone on the record as saying that if funding stopped, they could still finish the game. Now funding is slowing down, and with a reported burn rate of almost $3M per month, we'll see what happens in the coming months.
This project is FUBAR. That's the gist of it.
