It's at alpha stage? lol. Alpha? This is a joke, right?
If anyone doesn't know what alpha means it's basically a really early dev build that's nowhere near ready to show to the public.
5 years to get to alpha lmao!
Alpha is - not feature complete
at its most basic phrasing (though various companies make up their own marketing spiel.
Which suits this product.
All the same, I'm not impressed. 3.0 is a fraction of what was originally going to be in 3.0 ... and watching all the streamers, it still runs like ass , riddled with basic-bitch bugs and they only managed to add 3 moons in 1 year of development.
"120 star systems with tons of cities" ... only managed to make 2 in ... 3-4 years?
3.0 will release for christmas as marketin spiel again. will remain barely playable for 3-4 months ... 3.1 will surface 6 months later. ship sales.. rince and repeat.
All that money, all that man power, I've gone past believing "its because of the ambition" ... erm no, its more like as a kick starter you pay less, and you get less "talent" resulting in a project equivalent to any PUBLIC SECTOR I.T work .... aka, "not quite up to snuff".
But no... it can't be that..... they have the finest!
Alpha doesn't just suggest a lack of features it's basically a completely bare bones build that devs use to discuss inhouse where they want to take their game, i.e. a long, long way from anything approaching beta..
Yeah...that's not what alpha means.
@malibutomi: Makes him sound like one. The people you named such as Ford named their companies pretty early on and they were at times most if not the only members of the company. It’s understandable you’d name the company after yourself if it has one or two people and you’re the main architect behind it all. If you have associates and employ several dozens of people, naming the company after yourself makes you seem like a narcissist. Not saying Chris Roberts is one, just that the move could suggest he is one.
You know Chris Roberts started CIG and Roberts Space Industries when the company was just him, his wife, a web guy, and a writer, right? And he was the main architect of the game so....it fits your exact criteria to a T.
