So are you saying you are impressed or your silence is wondering what the time and money has created so far?

I'd expect them to be further along with over two years in development, multiple studios, and $42mil.
 
Then again I knew there were bad things happening when they showed the build-up video of just STARTING to work on the flight module five days before Pax East. So five days of really hard work and two years of watching the money flow in. This paired with the very nice furnishings at their studio in Santa Monica, with those expensive detailed models which I'm sure were a few thousand a piece...
 
Well it just reminds me of someone...

Thats actually not a good comparison ps I'm a BUCKEYE

^^^ Development has been 16 months? How do you figure?
 
That's the equivalent of saying that football begins in Sept/Oct., (speaking in collegiate terms), when in fact spring practice and games have already been conducted for the 2015 season; national signing day was held as well. There will also be six to eight weeks of preparation before the kick-off classic. My point... simple... planning, design, and conceptualization began two years ago, if not more. I would even guess that he started reaching out to his core staff, and making contact with those outsource companies well in advance. i.e. Their website even has articles that are 2yrs old... and I'm certain (or I would hope) that he didn't have the website up on day one, along with that snazzy little video of his --"I'm not dead".
 
In summary, Chris Roberts has no clue how to lead a development team, and thus the reason why (in some cases) a big corporation is necessary to "drive" the development team in the appropriate direction so they don't stew in their own fecal matter. The other point I made above was that most of the development happened within the last 6 days before PAX East. So again for your edification, four studios, $42mil, 2+ years, a snazzy video, many movie studio quality models later... and you've got a space ship hangar simulation.
 
Take a look again at 1) what you wrote, and 2) the 6 day vid of the team scrambling to get ready for PAX East. *You don't tell a development team a few months in advance that they're going to a huge gaming convention so "let's get crackin' " another poor leadership sign.
 
*Salting the mine for ya buddy... wanna buy?
 

In this thread: people, who have no idea what they are talking about, spewing out nonsense

Easy way to solve this for the tools in denial...
 
California Secretary of State Website; all corporations have to register, in order to be taxed properly. Look it up folks! It's in black and white.
 
Enjoy... it hurts to be so good. You'll have to use your noggin' a little and find out the DBA *wink*

Must hurt to be such a smug prick too, but y'know. I'm sure you figured that out ages ago.
 
After all, we're just a bunch of "tools," right?

Never mind... I won't be dragged further into this.
 
I gave em a minimal contribution and if it ends up being disappointing, I'm not out much.

I'll trust developers to know how to do their jobs. Most major publishers are content to just rush things out the door and patch later after all.

I am all in for Star Citizen!! I am hoping/pretty confident the game will be fun and the idea behind it is great. It will be a journey and I am glad to be part of it. I was expecting the reveal to be glitchy. How can anyone be disappointed at a guy who truly wants to build "the best damn space sim ever made"???? It's not about the company making $$$, its about building something that people will enjoy, including the people that make it.
 
I have to agree with MrCrow though, They have not had 42 million since the beginning. I don't even think CR even knew this lvl of funding was possible from the community. I joined up last spring/summer and I think they were only at 12 million. The snowball is gaining momentum though :). Having Faith in people is sometimes a good thing.
