BGS Celebration For Skyrim? : V - Skyrim

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 8:57 am

It means that every cell in the game is working and hooked together, for instance interior cells are connected with teleporters to the corresponding spot on the exterior cell and vice versa. Basically the game world has been built they just have to polish it.

Excellent! :celebration:

D: what if they made a mistake and accidentally mixed up some code, like... (and yes I know this does not belong to any specific language and that it′s made up, you get my point anyway...)

if (testsaysitworks == true):
{
awesometextbox.text = "It does not work";
}
else:
{
awesometextbox.text = "It works";
}

I mean it could happen!!!

What?

In other words what if the program they used has a typo or an error, and says that working cells don′t work and that cells that don′t work, work!!!
D: Always room for errors, you are never sure! I′m gonna have nightmares...

Or maybe I′m taking the characteristics of my first Skyrim character too seriously and too early...

Probably did a character play through in all cells to see if they worked. I'm assuming they're not 100% done with all the little bits and pieces in the world (could be wrong I mean they only have 272 days until release), but all the cells most likely are in working order and ready to be polished for the release.

Well then I assume the game will be Bug-free by release, seeing as you have time to sit and eat cupcakes at work, when you infact should be working! If the game gets delayed I will moan and [censored] about this very quote and hold it over your head untill you apologize!

Joke or not....that was such a rude and ignorant thing to say. First of all, no game is bug-free no matter how much time you spend on it. If you really think taking a couple hours out of their to celebrate the fact that all their work over the last 5 years is functioning properly without conflicts between cells or other objects. That is a HUGE milestone and they deserve to celebrate. People complaining about them enjoying their work need to go diaf.

This.

This is actually a really big milestone and all the hardwork is coming to fruition. They can see the light at the end of the tunnel which is great news for everyone.

Amen Bro. :thumbsup: Everyone deserves a break at work or you'll go insane. Doesn't everyone deserve a break at work? I don't think some people understand how game development works. When approaching the end of the project, there's going to be some long days. They have a deadline to meet. So, if they've crossed a major hurdle, I think they deserve a cupcake. Stuff like that is good for company morale. Otherwise, your employees are going to get stressed out and hate their job and that's not what you want as company.

Doesn't everyone deserve a break at work?

Federal labor law here in the US dictates that all workers are entitled to no less than 15min paid break for every 3 hours of work.

^This. In conclusion, Pineapple Express gets -10 Karma.

I hope they have a kick-ass party then.

Milestones are big deals, it means something significant is "done" - perhaps the exterior world, or the dungeons or cities - something really huge like that.

When my daughter and i drove past the building today, I could almost feel the magic inside. :laugh:

Congrats BGS!!

Hopefully this means that they are done handcrafting every single cell in Skyrim, and thus could test them.

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 11:43 am

Well,i think the answer is obvious (they tested every cell in skyrim world) :tops:

What this means is either
1. They are on schedule.
Or even better
2. They are ahead of schedule.

They have successfully added delicious cupcakes to every cell in Skyrim! :evil:

Let's hope for number 2

They tested that there was at least one caliper in each cell?

Is that even how you spell caliper?

Cupcakes, how do they work?

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 4:19 am

Cupcakes were indeed very good. Red Velvet...mmmmmmmm. "A successful type of test of every cell in the world." basically means you guys are one step closer to getting doused with epicness come 11/11/11 :celebration:
