It's one of the reasons I cannot take it seriously.

I'm one of those who like the derpy horse look ok.

Well I'm one of those who will probably find a mod which replaces it.
I'm not complaining about it, because mods can fix things developers doesn't.

Bird, fish, plant, ape, and robot boobs. Also humans.
Do the florans even have them? On the "female" sprite, they've got maybe a slightly larger chest, at most. They don't even have males or females, do they?

They don't technically have females, but the female-equivalent does have them, visible quite plainly with certain armors.

There's difference on the hips and the chest is covered with that petal so it's hard to tell. My head canon is all florans are feminine looking.

To me, they will always be the genderless plant people that eat you while you try to figure out what pronoun to use.

My personal problem with horse AI is that it looks completely retarded. The boobs are not the problem, the absolutely retarded horse face is.

Which as I said isn't a problem either. It is the fact that it is the starting AI that you probably won't be able to change until hours into the game.
Said - where? Cannot find it.

Find where it doesn't say that. If they went on record and said "ohh that is just one model you can find in game" it would stop the complaints. One of the updates implies that it is a starting glitch AI (And is also painfully unfunny as it says the Fresh Prince opening)

So either
A) It is a starting AI
or
B) The Devs are dumb.

Don't get me wrong I am not outraged by it (I still think it is a sign that the devs think they are funnier then they actually are... which is always a BAD sign for a game... THANKS ADVENTURE MANAGER!!! You are a never ending ceaseless parade of bad jokes), it is more their handling of this whole thing. Which is between blowing up at their community, attacking their community, and mocking their community.

It is great to know that as a customer a developer got your back, unless you got a complaint in which case you are labeled a buffoon.

It was a side-mention in one of the numerous dev posts that are never collated and cleaned up. It was also completely noncommital about whether we can change the AI's eventually or not, but the implication was that those posted ones are the starter AI's that you'll have for a long while, probably until you research a mid-level tech upgrade or something.

Yet again, this information would be easier to find if their PR did the job properly and actually communicated between the devs and fanbase in a half-competent manner. Instead you can read trolling posts where they make fun of the players and the syrupy glurge of everyone in their community who will agree to everything they ever do without question.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

Mind you they don't have to reveal how AI work... they could very well say "we will have a announcement on AI in the future" or something along those lines if they still want to surprise everyone... which would have people saying "I really hope it isn't a starting AI" but it would half the flood for loud grumbles.

Unless they starting pushing way more releases, upgrading AIs probably won't be for a while, will it?

They've actually finished precisely 0 new systems since December, aside from Skyrails where they folded a mod into the main game, I guess. So yeah...

The problem most people have had with the Glitch AI is how utterly derp it looks; there have been posted several suggested substitutes by one of the forumites on the CF forums, complete with stern-looking robot horse.


However, now for some real fun.
Have some moderator power tripping:

I post on his personal page asking to explain why he decided to ban that user, he basically replied that he doesn't have to justify himself and subsequently deleted the comment, and subsequently banned me.

Apparently, not sucking up to Eonwe is a bannable offense.

Well to admit they aren't accountable. After they finish these games it is doubtful they will do anymore projects under chucklefish.

What I mean is, it is our fault.

It is, indeed, another failing on Chucklefish's (does pluralization even work that way in this case!?) part for not making their mods accountable.
