CitizenCon today...
https://www.twitch.tv/thedereksmart EDIT : Apparently he can't get the official stream image to be displayed on his own.
EDIT : Sandi Gardiner-Roberts crying. Again.
EDIT : 363 direct employees across their four studios as of today.
EDIT : Croberts faffed about doing a recap ("4 years into development" his words) but now some dude is speaking about forums and "orgs 2.1" that let people organize guilds since 3 years. What ? No gameplay or trailer presented so far. Are they stalling ? Holy christ. I can get getting some of the juicy stuff to close but man.
Derek Smart :
"OK Guys I don't know what to say" EDIT :
Powerpoint Citizen !
EDIT : Ship sale trailer.
EDIT : New patcher coming soon™ to finally stop backers having to download 20+ Go of data for every revision.
Squadron 42
"Over 20h of performance capture, 1255 pages of dialogue, 343 speaking roles"
No AI yet, "all chapters grey boxed", no footage will be shown now, no release date.
Now discussing SC Alpha 2.6 and Star Marine.
2 maps and 2 gamemodes fo Star Marine.
Mining in Alpha 3.1, Salvage in 3.2, Farming in 3.3...
4.0 Jump points and multiple systems. And ships, ships, ships. "Roadmap for the next year"
2.6 isn't even being tested by the advance alpha backers !
No gameplay footage for Star Citizen (?)
EDIT : A video of their procedural generation technology for planets. Roberts :
"Not fake ! I know, hard to believe !" EDIT : Even the official forums aren't too hyped.
https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/349218/so-no-sq42-footage-at-cizenconEDIT : Some footage of a ship landing and a character using his buggy to explore the PG planet. Dude get ambushed. Shot 4 guys through a scope. Use a space motorbike.
Inspect some wrecks. See some giant Dune sand worms (WTF ?
). A sandstorm.
EDIT : Chris yelling
"JUST DO IT" for the third time.
A couple shots but god is it boring. Scripted stealth knife kill of a sand guy from Star Wars. Terrible editing at the end. Ending segment playing twice while Chris assures it's not scripted ?
Quiet audience.
EDIT: Dev showing the editor, warp, footage of another planet. Warp. Ships. Fade to black.
Chris Roberts :
"In a year's time !". 12 more months of funding ahead...
OK they're wrapping up.
"JUST DO IT !" again from Chris
No SQ42 footage, no direct SC footage, an alpha that will stretch to "4.0" and unless I missed something, no release dates announced for anything.

Yet another thread by someone with zero understanding of the technical achievement CIG just displayed.
https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/comment/7102823/#Comment_7102823Regardless of the fact that we all KNEW SQ-42 wasn't coming out this year and the fact the we KNEW 2.6 wasn't ready yet, people still had it in their heads that we were going to see one or both.
That's a completely unrealistic expectation and you cannot fault anyone but yourself (not the op but people in general) if you hyped yourself that hard

Just a quick note, in the presentation Chris states 3.0 is the end of the year release, and jokes that he hopes it won't be December 19th like last year.
