Star Citizen AMA Looks at the Quantum System
A recent Star Citizen AMA looks at the Quantum system. The AMA featured Senior Technical Designer Jake Muehle and more. Here's what we learned.

If there was independent oversight, maybe the game would actually come out but as it is I don't see it actually being ever released.
Except there is no need to spend redic amount of money... 45$ and even less during anniversary is enough to jump in and be part of the journey.
3.9 and new Bagage is absolutely stunning. Yes it is missing NPC's with higher number making the all city more alive but this is precisely what this Quantum article is explaining... and oh surprise, 4.0 and 4.01 do add client server improvment and NPC's spawning tech....
Meanwhile, the next publishers games are mostly remaster of past sequel... between spending 40$ on COD remastered, the choice is super fast.
Thanks man!!!!
Short story short, after explaining to him he's getting a whopping $0 to give to some has-been milking his name not a f'ing cent, he said that he can't play the game then, i asked him what game, anyway now he and i have such a good laugh over that one.
Here is a little reality soup He's almost graduated college wtf? That's how f'ing long this game has been in development.
It's an amazing tool to see integrated on the game, MMOs need this sort of dynamic simulation where what players do actually causes some impact on the game-world, something MMOs like Guild Wars 2 tried to do with an on-loop script of events/etc to make the world feel alive.
If the motive is "simply greed" then the game(s) will launch.
CR etc. are not getting "rich" from this - will have made far more doing films etc. If SQ42 sells a fraction of what e.g. Destiny - that widely panned game - sold then you are looking at many millions. If it sells close to what Destiny did you are over a billion.
And you could see TV maybe film stuff and maybe the odd cent from SC.
And if they then sell shares in the company ...
Have to assume that the folks behind the external investment was made with the expectation of getting rich as well.
Project managers, not developers, need to be running projects, they dont need to code, or create, they need to keep the project progressing and not having it stuck in an eternal game of "feature creep".
LMAO,
NEITHER of them are project managers, perhaps look the term and job description up.
Also thats a real guiding light of a "project manager" right there, being the brother of the dude who alluded to releasing the game years ago and yet it is still in development hell seemingly never to emerge. Its nothing but feature creep, every "update" is heres something new and shiny as opposed to "hey look we are finishing what was promised 9 years ago and all the other cool stuff will be expansion A, B, C and D" but thats not happening.
Erin Roberts better hope his brother always has money from suckers to pay him with because he will never get another job as a project manager as he has managed nothing but the hopes of people with too much money.
I sincerely hope Im very, very wrong and a release is imminent and you get to point and laugh about how wrong I was but Im doubting it, just more and more jingle keys stretching off into the future for years to come.
Being the brother of someone never stop him to be good. The most profitable, competent bussiness are run by family's...
Erin does not need some anon "expertise" to get a job. He had a successful business one before you lol...
The reasons you bring on table are laughable, good in an uneducated individual about game developement and finance but not much less.
By the way, there is no more new strech goal since mid-2015... Wake-up!
... and the suckers are tired of publishers sequel of games and their genious move to release for the time bein... remaster of their past sequel.
Be patient, pledging is 45$ and less during anniversary and you can grab hundreds $ ships for FREE.... by playing the game.
One. Of course, that was actually done by Bullfrog Games, though Erin was the majordomo between companies.
You all would be better off giving tons of money to Chris to keep him away from the game development. Maybe you all should buy him a yacht. Or even a space yacht!!
Of course, he'd probably try to sell you a copy of it for $1000.
If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.
Haters hate that is their mantra for life.... The yacht is as real as mafia laundering money or Austin office closing 5 years ago.
The quantity of crap, fake news and gross obfuscation generated by an handful of haters since years is... laughable.
Nothing more than 45$ is required to get in. Not an extra cent. Not even subscription.
Hate harder Lol
Jump as much as you want on so called conflict of interest... and avoid to mention everything else which is not conflict but union and collaboration to get a successful project done.... because their interest is... to release a good product to make way more cash than any amount of pledges during development.
be patient...
that become a meme with this "game"
