Star Citizen Development Discussion (Is Derek Smart Right?)

[JSt0rm]

you keep saying they pulled something from lumberjack. They clearly said they switched to lumberjack. If you have evidence that they picked over lumberjack and pulled in stuff to starengine then post it.

 

[SLU Aequitas]

Have they ever said what they pulled from Lumberyard (lumberjack?) ? Seems that would go a long way into stopping people from thinking they've one a port. Also, is Lumberyard/jack a Amazon thing?

The only things I've seen specifically mentioned is the LAWS and twitch integration. I'd like to see a atv or studio update with more details as well.

 

[SLU Aequitas]

^^^ you are projecting again.

Everyone's projecting amirite? I'm confused though, where's the epic loss of progress caused by this integration? What did they lose?

I mean, you obviously have no firsthand knowledge on this, but I heard Dede is trying to figure out how to port LoD to UE after 7 years of development, maybe he'll know?

And furthermore.

I have as much proof as you have about them switching over.. I'm just also adding that I don't know which it is between switching over and pulling stuff in. From the dev post it sounds like they pulled stuff in, but that could mean they've pulled over the entire code base minus a comment. I'm just giving them the benefit until I see something that shows me how much they've used in lumber.

aside from 2.6 being 6 months late?

The press release from cig said they switched. Thats my proof.

oh I guess you didnt read the press release. Not that it would matter, Im sure you would fill it in so it fits your narrative.

You're right I didn't read it, oddly enough I asked for info on it, as I could only go off what the dev had said.. which said they pulled things from it. If you have that link to it, please paste it in so I can read up on it. Or not, just claim a guy that's been really critical about the game is trying to fit a pro-game narrative into this thread. In my world, this game has so many real issues I don't need to create them just to add fuel to the fire. If they did switch over everything and dumped the past x years of dev, then that's complete bullshit and wasting of money. I said that before, but before I call something bullshit, I like to know the facts behind it. However, please don't let that stop you from claiming I'm part of some narrative that's for the game.

Everyone here has a narrative other than our S.A. member with a group mandated grudge against CIG. Got it, I'm sorry, I'll make sure that we get back on our regularly scheduled Star Citizen is a scam narra...i mean truth.

And furthermore.

But for real, where's your proof on this giant loss of progress and complete engine rewrite J?

I agree, and for the record while you've been critical at least I haven't seen a clear agenda on your part and we're at least able to have a discussion. Additionally, despite what others might say, CIG is not above reproach and they have made mistakes, and backers have brought those up, not only in the main thread but this thread as well. Our issue is with falsehoods and trolling.

I'll go on the record as well and say if they did switch over everything and lost years worth of work they should be called out for that.

You're not going to see that though based on the info from the dev and the fact that we're playing 2.6 right now.

You're cute right now.

 

[Sabrewings]

They did a ton of work to 3.8 that cant be ported over to lumberjack

Really? What?

 

[JSt0rm]

Really? What?

So over the past 4 years they didnt do a bunch of custom complex work to make starengine? A engine that has so much custom code its barely cryengine anymore?

 

[JSt0rm]

over the last 4 years the narrative from the citizen as to why it was taking so long was because of all this custom stuff done to the engine. And in the blink of an eye you guys re-posture and say its easy to merge these things. I mean for real. This highlights everything wrong with this project.

I think it's just painfully obvious you don't know what you're talking about. Maybe just wait for Dede's next word salad (one he clears it through beagle of course) so you can get your next taking points?

Lumberyard is CryEngine. How much do we have to restate this?

It's less that they integrated their modifications into Lumberyard as they hand picked some portions of Lumberyard and integrated it into StarEngine.

It's working in 2.6, so clearly they haven't thrown away anything. What else you got, Debbie Downer?

You know that legal the beagle originated at SA? We make fun of everything.

The downside to things like this game is you have fan vs anti-fans? (not sure what you'd call them) with both sides really pushing the boundary of what's real vs what's just trolling. It's not like there's even a victim on it, as both sides are just as guilty. For every JSt0rm there's a TechBoyJK. While I fall more on the anti-fan side (really need to have a better name) as I don't think this game is going to make it out as they intended, I am openminded enough to say I might be wrong. There's a ton of stuff I just don't plain understand about game development, or what CIG has done. There's a chance that this was all needed to make the game, but I doubt it. Either way.. I also appreciate that you're able to have a convo with me without the mud slinging, it's been very informative. I can say with your and Sabrewings posts I have a much better idea what's going on than I did before.

I'm not sure anyone said it was easy to merge anything. It's simpler than trying to pull parts from a completely different engine I'm sure, but in this case it really boils down to what they pulled in (or rewrote with it) If you could please link the press release you mentioned it'd be easier for me to understand why you keep saying that it's a port and I'd probably agree with you to the point I'd sharpen up my pitchforks.

 

[JSt0rm]

Cig was claiming that 50% of the code was new. How does that square with this current move?

Im not a anti-fan boi. I just see this whole mess for what it actually is. And time will tell. If Im right and its all shit will I be considered a anti-fan boy still or just right?

Where did you get that "Cig was claiming that 50% of the code was new."? Is this in the press release that I asked you nicely to link so I could read up on it?

As for the rest, it's interesting to me how you're cherry picking parts of what I said while throwing out the rest..

 

[JSt0rm]

Brian Chambers at GamesCom he talks about the work CIG has done customizing CryEngine when he talks about 50% of the code is new.

 

[JSt0rm]

Marry christmas fighters

dude you will get banned for that one best pull it.

 

[Skel]

really....

really...

 

[JSt0rm]

if its nsfw you cant post it here. It was nice yes but gotta think about a dweeb browsing from his work computer.

 

[SLU Aequitas]

Aww I missed it oh well, karma right?

And I'm not sure how BC talking about the work that's been done to Star Engine means they've lost all of that work when they integrated lumberyard? Especially considering that we've repeatedly pointed back to the dev quote and that we're playing 2.6 whereas J is just pulling statements from thin air and without facts.
