Gave up after about 2 minutes of loading screen.
I gave up after 30s. I thought loading screens for more than 3s without progress bars where a thing of the past.

#12Loads fast and runs fine for me.
It's pretty amazing what can be done on a browser these days.

#13Note: Does not seem to work on Android chrome. 3rd try caused my Nexus 6P to lock up for a full minute. Still curious what it is. Was hoping it was Star Citizen for Ark, i.e. space meets dinosaurs.
It is a starmap for a game that will never be released.

#14Well, it reminds me of Star Citizen for sure -- in that it's a pretty-looking interface but overburdened with unacceptably long loading times, laggy and unresponsive feedback in the UI, and motion blur on all the things to the point of being unusable. Every few months I look into where SC is at, and am not surprised to see more flash and surface-level polish, more extra features no one was asking for, and yet core ga…
It seemed pretty slick/responsive to me, I've never played the Star Citizen game however so I can't tell how useful it is.

At the moment it is not very useful in game as they are just now reaching the point where they will start introducing multi-system mechanics.
However it does provide some vision for where the game developers would like to go for the restive SC backer population so there is some value in that

#16Earlier quoted context omitted.
Some context; as someone who pledged in 2012. I'd hope the OP doesn't come off as dismissive to the "hard unglamorous" stuff, since I see this as a separate issue. For me at least, the problem is largely that in the last 6 years, we've gotten PILES of UX revisions, all of which favor form over function to a laughable degree. This map, while pretty, is fractionally as useful as a flattened stretchy-grid-auto-layouted…
It’s pretty obvious that they never intend to release a game at this point.
I... disagree?

Runs perfectly smooth for me in chrome at 1440 x what ever 31" is in pixels...

Runs very well for me (Firefox 61, Linux x86_64, AMD Vega 56 / Mesa, GPU load ~30%).

I completely sympathize with where I think you're coming from, but the conversation will be more interesting if we avoid hyperbole.

Runs fine on my machine. Are you using an integrated GPU?
