    Used to work in a warehouse and you could move pump jacks forward while standing on them by leaning left and right while turning the handle left and right in tandem.

    Sorta like on a swing the momentum builds up until you’re cruising nicely.

    Took a quick look and it appears a group of people wanted to shoot a live action series with similar trappings as the OP picture. They did a kickstarter for 5k and were unable to deliver on that budget.

    This is from 30 seconds of research, so grain of salt and all that.


  • Oh it’ll release, just not by Chris Roberts.

    The last game he was in charge of was Freelancer, a highly ambitious game for the time and he never finished it. His company, Digital Anvil, started to have financial woes due to the long development of Freelancer and was acquired by Microsoft. He left the company and then a couple years later Freelancer was released!

    It was very different from what it was supposed to be, but it was still an awesome game, imo.

    I think the same thing will happen to Star Citizen. The money will dry up and they’ll be forced to sell. The buyer will kick Chris out and then have the team make a finished product.
