from a pure engineering perspective, CIG are doing everything right. Say what you will about how they communicate deadlines and shit.

I guarantee you most games with 'wow, this system works but could've been so much better' systems, the devs totally know they could make it better, but doing so would require them to rip out a bunch of underlying systems, rewrite them, rewrite everything that depended on them (which may end up requiring the same be done of OTHER underlying systems), and then QA all of it again.Ĭase in point, Star Citizen.

It gets especially bad with games because of just how iterative and liable to change they are, and how much time pressure they have. That shit very often gets left alone while new features are built on top of them, because to upper management and anyone who looks at a project from a purely numbers perspective, rather than from a 'this is a complex system with all kinds of interconnected dependencies that will need to be maintains for years/decades' perspective, new features are ALWAYS going to be worth more than a more solid foundation. Or in other words, shit that technically works, meets all the current requirements, but is basically impossible to extend/work with, or is very brittle and prone to bugs. /r/GamePhysics - Clips of game physics shining and glitchingĭesign based on /r/FlatBlue created by /u/creesch./r/gaming4gamers - middle ground between purely-for-fun and more serious subreddits./r/GamingLeaksAndRumours - Leaks and Rumors.Posting unmarked spoilers will result in removal and warning, and posting spoilers with malicious intent will result in a ban.
