Chris Roberts’ vacation fund has reached a new milestone. soypoint-2

so-true With your help we can get this up to 1 billion, which will ensure that Chris gets to visit more places and can enjoy more of the local cuisine. Oh, yeah, and it helps the game get finished sooner, of course.

In other news, they finally reworked the game’s UI after 12 years of R&D, and it now looks worse than it did before. Progress. soypoint-1

      Nah it’s a bit more complicated than that. They completely revamped the rendering and netcode to support seamless transitions between space, ground, building, ships etc. What they managed to do with the engine is not easy at all. None of it excuses the blatant grifting tho, just saying some of the devs did pretty cool things there.

          That’s a door

          Have you ever actually done 3D game development? I promise it’s not really that simple. Not everything about this game has to be complete shit just because the owner of the company is a grifter, they definitely hired talented people to do the work even if the work is ultimately a scam.
