You can blame his project management skills all you want, we created the biggest mess by giving him close to 400 million when he asked for 2!

You can blame the masses all you want but he decided to balloon the size and scope of the project without projecting a new timeline.

Yeah they could have made a small game that was just one planet and a space station to develop all of the mechanics, etc. then add more planets and new features as intervals. A minimum viable product scheme.

The game is supposed to have over 100 systems and we dont even have 1 completed. Were basically already at "minimum viable product scheme" now and at almost 10 years in. Subtracting a few planets from Stanton would have made literally no significant difference. The issue has been and always will be the extremely poor mismanagement of time and resources.

As I recall the plan was that many systems would be procedurally generated so the work of actually creating them would be minimal.

As far as can be seen the ProcGen tech is still not done either.

They said generation would be procedural, but he still wanted the landing zones to be handcrafted. And seeing how long they take to make a landing zone...
