First day quick impressions #citizencon #starcitizen

[RedHornSSS]

Honestly a lot of stuff feels closer than the stuff they used to show in citCon. A lot of these stuff they have shown before as prototypes

[fillianplays]

I’m not going to dump on all the hard work the devs have done because it is all very impressive, but “seems really far away” is the truth of it. What they show at citcon is always very impressive. When I see it working in a live public build of the game I will be more impressed.

[Cornerboy]

I was actually pleasantly surprised with, well, everything we saw. Looking forward to the Sunday show.

The show just seemed to confirm their problem with feature creep to me. Like spending lots of time on deciding to add new stuff like state of the art hair physics, skin textures and effects, even physics blood and tear effects on faces. Like just chill and make a list of things to make the gameplay parts feature complete and focus almost fully on those, don't get distracted with things like "oh but what if we add realistic fingernails to the game which have to be cut regularly!??". Just implement normal cloth and hair physics found in games in the last few years and almost zero people will think it's not good enough, don't go crazy trying to make the best of the best versions of those things in a game where they don't really matter.

Seemed like a ton of awesome things that really showed how alive this game will feel when it all finally comes together. Server meshing in action is amazing, but there is still going to be so much work required to scale all of it. It’s cool to finally see the end goal of the vision, but we aren’t there yet.

[kennethjensen]

Agree. Not only a year tho, id say 2 years until we see all this. And maybe 3-4 until full function server mesh, 1000+players, No desync etc. And 5+ years till we see a game that could be a mmo in its Core. My best bet. Cya in 2028 😅

[adriandrzyzga]

bro, They just show server meshing and replication layer working un a controlled space. i think many people doesnt realize The moment we have lived yesterday

[illgottengains]

It couldn’t have been better as far as I’m concerned. One incredible presentation after another

[MikePhilbin]

Global Illumination was GREAT... GET IT IN THE GAME now, is my only slogan of slogans.

[echo]

6 months is april, that's a "long way away"? for star citizen? That's like tomorrow

[Cplblue]

I got the impression that a lot of what they were showing was much closer. They said everything shown will be in game in 12 months "or so". But Pyro will roll out overtime for all players, server meshing will roll out soonish too, from what I understood. Vulkan tech sounds like it'll be fully implemented in 3.22 by end of year. I dunno, I went in like a sour milk bitch but finished hyped.

[Lance_Arn]

This is what I was predicting the dev's were working on in the background.. We are looking so close to SQ42 releasing and maybe 12months for LIVE PU getting these features in-game.. It is getting closer.

[shaunlavigne]

That was how I felt about what they presented. All the things they said are in Squadron that will come to the PU will only come after squadron releases, so unless they give more info on Squadron today I'm not expecting any of that tech for at least a year; other than the replication layer part.

[thorist]

Impressive showing in that Starengine trailer, some goosebump moments, thats what CIG can do very well. Some cool stuff in the pipeline for sure, BUT if there will be absolutely nothing dedicated to SQ42 i will be very disappointed. At least give us at the end a banger trailer.

[NovaRift]

I think they covered a lot of amazing stuff, seeing server meshing in action live with the behind the scenes and everything was really cool and informative!

[joebaxter]

SaleEMike huffing the Hopium and Morph being realistic. Roles reversed.

[pieman]

Agreed. The ship talk panel also felt like it was missing on some features but maybe the flight panel tomorrow will fill some gaps for me. Also I saw you in passing but wasn’t able to say hi! Overall a fun day for my first in person citcon

[ddjjj]

I had no idea you were this gorgeous Morph ❤️

[cherub]

I went in 2018 when they introduced the Kraken. I remember thinking: " it will probably be a damn year before we see this ship in game." Yeah... so.

[Pompelipom]

It's the best CitizenCon ever and the event is only half way ... I have a feeling we will get SQ42 before end of 2024 and also 2 new starsystems, Pyro and some other starsystem ...
