00:00:20.959 --> 00:00:26.877
Chris Roberts: Hello everyone, I'm just doing
a little bit of my homework for the upcoming
00:00:26.877 --> 00:00:35.374
GamesCom. Anyway, I'd like to invite you
all to 10 for the Chairman, this for those
00:00:35.374 --> 00:00:39.488
of you who haven't seen the show before is
where I take 10 questions from our subscribers
00:00:39.488 --> 00:00:45.019
and answer them to the best of my ability,
which I hope is fairly decent. And for those
00:00:45.019 --> 00:00:48.603
of you who don't know, subscribers are the
subset of our community who kick in a little
00:00:48.603 --> 00:00:52.997
extra money every month to enable us to do an
additional amount of community interaction
00:00:52.997 --> 00:00:57.376
and feedback. So things like 10 for the Chairman,
which I'm doing now, Around the Verse, the
00:00:57.376 --> 00:01:03.802
Jump Point magazine which is about 50-70
pages of more indepth, behinds the scenes
00:01:03.802 --> 00:01:08.979
material and some fiction. And some other
stuff that we do, the Inside CIG reports.
00:01:08.979 --> 00:01:15.268
A lot of this stuff allows us to really bring
you close to our production process,
00:01:15.268 --> 00:01:20.396
which is pretty big and all across the world.
So thank you all to subscribers for allowing
00:01:20.396 --> 00:01:25.358
us to be able to do this because there's
loads of people behind the cameras here,
00:01:25.358 --> 00:01:30.241
and a lot of other stuff. It actually does
cost time, effort, and money to do, but I
00:01:30.241 --> 00:01:35.171
definitely think it's worth it to make sure that
everybody is as connected as possible
00:01:35.171 --> 00:01:40.362
to our development effort. So there you go,
alright, getting to the questions.
00:01:40.362 --> 00:01:43.510
The first question comes from MuddyGrimes who asks:
00:01:43.510 --> 00:01:47.786
My crew and I want to know if it'll be possible
to capture a Vanduul individual to use for our
00:01:47.786 --> 00:01:51.794
"initiation process", which is having the
initiate(s) fight this captured Vanduul to
00:01:51.794 --> 00:01:53.055
the death in melee combat.
00:01:53.055 --> 00:01:57.800
That sounds like that crazy DayZ stuff
that I saw where they would get people
00:01:57.800 --> 00:02:02.817
on a bus and put them into the equivalent
of thunderdome. I don't really think right now
00:02:02.817 --> 00:02:08.173
we're supporting capturing a Vanduul to
put in a fighting pit for initiation.
00:02:08.173 --> 00:02:13.729
It's a cool idea, I'm just trying to think
if any of the game systems would allow it.
00:02:13.729 --> 00:02:20.039
Right now we don't really have the concept
of capturing people and keeping them for a
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:25.624
long time. We have the concept of capturing
people if you're a bounty hunter and someone's
00:02:25.624 --> 00:02:29.298
got a price on their head, you've got to bring
them back, but at some point they just
00:02:29.298 --> 00:02:34.683
become an item that you're taking verses
a living, breathing, NPC. So right now, the
00:02:34.683 --> 00:02:39.892
way the system works, I don't think it would
be able to do that, but it is a cool idea,
00:02:39.892 --> 00:02:42.848
so you never know what happens
down the road.
00:02:42.848 --> 00:02:47.373
Ok, next question comes
from PreachMan who asks:
00:02:47.373 --> 00:02:53.591
The plan is to roll out modules to both share
WIP and to pre-pre-alpha test pieces of the game.
00:02:53.591 --> 00:02:59.266
(CR: That's even one more pre than we use)
Have you considered an "Economy Module"; maybe
00:02:59.266 --> 00:03:03.903
"SC - It's the Economy, Stupid: The Board Game"
as part of the testing plan?
00:03:03.903 --> 00:03:09.257
That would probably be a better question
for Tony who, the economy's actually his--
00:03:09.257 --> 00:03:15.978
something he's very keen on, and he's working
hard on it. We are definitely building an
00:03:15.978 --> 00:03:21.102
economy module to be separate, so we actually
have an economy simulation that happens, and
00:03:21.102 --> 00:03:27.398
there's gonna be the brains that will run most
of the Persistent Universe, and simulate where
00:03:27.398 --> 00:03:31.277
the NPCs are moving around, trading, what
the players are doing, all the rest of the stuff.
00:03:31.277 --> 00:03:36.866
We, on our side, we will definitely have it
where we'll have the economy simulation
00:03:36.866 --> 00:03:40.819
and we can zoom in to different planets
or systems and see what's happening.
00:03:40.819 --> 00:03:44.290
Then long term, once the game's up and
fully running, the Persistent Universe,
00:03:44.290 --> 00:03:48.237
and everyone's playing in it, we'll probably
have some control room that we'll sit there
00:03:48.237 --> 00:03:50.692
and they'll have monitors of the different
states of the systems. And we'll be able to
00:03:50.692 --> 00:03:56.948
see what's happening in the universe. What
the NPCs are doing, what the players are
00:03:56.948 --> 00:04:02.523
doing, and then occasionally tweak things
if we need to tweak things. Whether or not
00:04:02.523 --> 00:04:08.027
we'll release that as a module for people
to play with, my guess is probably not,
00:04:08.027 --> 00:04:14.984
but we definitely are building that as a module
because we need it as an internal system.
00:04:14.984 --> 00:04:21.188
So I don't know, maybe I'd have to talk
to Tony, but I don't see a really good way
00:04:21.188 --> 00:04:28.574
to release that to individual backers,
'cause it's really a more server side thing,
00:04:28.574 --> 00:04:34.023
it plugs into a lot of our backend server
sub-systems, and it's not something you can
00:04:34.023 --> 00:04:39.050
just release as a client-side module.
But we are building it.
00:04:39.050 --> 00:04:41.959
Alright, next question comes from Emulator who asks:
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:47.057
Can you stay in the UEE Military for some time?
Be able to achieve Constellation command or
00:04:47.057 --> 00:04:50.521
Higher as the rank structure?
(CR: I dont' think we have Constellation
00:04:50.521 --> 00:04:55.277
command because it's not really a military
ship, but I get the idea, like maybe command
00:04:55.277 --> 00:04:59.151
of an Idris frigate or something like that.)
Getting promotions and awards and
00:04:59.151 --> 00:05:04.106
having ceremonies for them? Will the UEE
require military contractors? Possibly even
00:05:04.106 --> 00:05:06.773
having a retirement for those
that stay in for a period?
00:05:06.773 --> 00:05:12.107
The way the structure of Squadron 42 to
Star Citizen works is that you play the game
00:05:12.107 --> 00:05:17.697
and at the end of it you have to muster out
into the civilian population. We are planning
00:05:17.697 --> 00:05:24.808
on having stories that, think of it like a
mission pack in the old Wing Commander
00:05:24.808 --> 00:05:32.107
days where we'll have a story that we will
build and make available to backers for,
00:05:32.107 --> 00:05:37.357
whatever you want to call it, DLC or something,
that would have the sophistication of the
00:05:37.357 --> 00:05:42.691
Squadron 42 storyline that will come back
online down the road occasionally.
00:05:42.691 --> 00:05:47.196
People can participate in that if they desire,
and some of those will be military based.
00:05:47.196 --> 00:05:52.029
You reenlisting back into the military for
a campaign. We're also thinking about
00:05:52.029 --> 00:05:55.863
having certain things that you could do as
a player where maybe the military needs
00:05:55.863 --> 00:06:01.381
some contractors to help it secure a star
system from Vanduul incursions or help
00:06:01.381 --> 00:06:07.564
flesh out an attack on Vanduul space, and
those will be PU missions, so there'll be
00:06:07.564 --> 00:06:11.717
a little bit of that. There's not really
a game set-up where you stay in the military
00:06:11.717 --> 00:06:16.297
and work your way through ranks. It is
a cool idea, longer term I think that would
00:06:16.297 --> 00:06:21.399
be some of the professional stuff that we
would expand once the game's up an running
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:24.990
and we're adding new content. 'Cause I think
that's definitely a career path that a lot of
00:06:24.990 --> 00:06:29.114
people would like to choose, but until then,
the way you would get back in the military
00:06:29.114 --> 00:06:34.461
would be joining up in a sort of story
campaign, along the lines of Squadron 42,
00:06:34.461 --> 00:06:37.917
or taking some sort of adhoc
work for the UEE military.
00:06:37.917 --> 00:06:41.886
Ok, next question comes from Acebravo who asks:
00:06:41.886 --> 00:06:45.499
My guild mates and I were wondering if the
shield on the ships is a physical barrier
00:06:45.499 --> 00:06:49.682
or could you possibly, as an example, fly
a small fighter inside a larger ship's
00:06:49.682 --> 00:06:52.931
shields to put direct fire onto its hull,
effectively bypassing the shields?
00:06:52.931 --> 00:06:59.917
That's a good question. The way the shields
work on all our ships is the shields are
00:06:59.917 --> 00:07:04.362
actually separate collision geometry that
is further out from the actual collision
00:07:04.362 --> 00:07:10.353
geometry that defines when you would hit
the hull of the ship, and the concept is
00:07:10.353 --> 00:07:16.540
the shields are really meant to absorb energy.
So if I'm firing an energy bolt it'll take that
00:07:16.540 --> 00:07:22.132
and dissipate it around the shields, and
ballistic weapons actually penetrate through
00:07:22.132 --> 00:07:27.012
shields, but they do have some of their
energy sapped away, so if you've got really
00:07:27.012 --> 00:07:30.442
strong shields, you can reduce the kinetic
energy through hitting the shield.
00:07:30.442 --> 00:07:36.361
But they're not really built to prevent,
save you, from hitting an asteroid or a
00:07:36.361 --> 00:07:42.780
head to head collision with another ship,
because the idea is that shields will only
00:07:42.780 --> 00:07:50.690
stop things at a certain kinetic velocity,
or energy, or whatever. So there definitely
00:07:50.690 --> 00:07:56.364
would be a case I would think that you should
be able to fly a ship through, assuming
00:07:56.364 --> 00:08:00.837
the AA guns of the ship aren't firing at
you, through a bigger ship's shields and
00:08:00.837 --> 00:08:05.004
maybe be on the inside of it and shoot.
Once you're inside that shield proxy, obviously
00:08:05.004 --> 00:08:08.636
your bullets won't get stopped by the shield
proxy, they'll only get stopped by the hull proxy.
00:08:08.636 --> 00:08:16.360
So yes, it is possible to do, as long as
the shields have enough room between them
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:19.108
and the hull, to do what is
suggested by Acebravo.
00:08:19.108 --> 00:08:22.687
Next question comes from Jeremiah Irons who asks:
00:08:22.687 --> 00:08:27.607
I was curious as to how Star Citizen will
tackle digital families of NPCs as well as
00:08:27.607 --> 00:08:32.029
children in general. It seems that in most
games, children NPCs are simply absent,
00:08:32.029 --> 00:08:35.710
but going down to a planet and only seeing
men and women about their daily lives
00:08:35.710 --> 00:08:37.382
could take away from immersion.
00:08:37.382 --> 00:08:41.714
That is a good question, we don't really have
a child character pipeline at the moment,
00:08:41.714 --> 00:08:48.563
so we may very well be guilty of what most
other MMOs are. I would say if there were
00:08:48.563 --> 00:08:56.564
some children, it would only be background
NPC stuff, just to add some variety to an
00:08:56.564 --> 00:09:00.811
environment, but we're really only planning
on players being able to pick whether they
00:09:00.811 --> 00:09:04.395
want to be a male or a female, an adult male
or an adult female, and then customize
00:09:04.395 --> 00:09:10.896
and dress up your character. So NPC wise
would be the only way you would see a little
00:09:10.896 --> 00:09:15.541
bit of children, and that really comes down
to variety. It certainly won't be something
00:09:15.541 --> 00:09:20.175
that we'd be doing at the very beginning
because we've got our work cut out for us
00:09:20.175 --> 00:09:26.177
just doing the various characters and costume
combinations and all the rest of the stuff.
00:09:26.177 --> 00:09:30.010
But it is a good point, so thanks Jeremiah.
00:09:30.010 --> 00:09:32.355
Next question comes from Dag who asks:
00:09:32.355 --> 00:09:35.444
Will players be able to rent out their
ships to other players, and if so,
00:09:35.444 --> 00:09:38.050
how would that work? Used ship lot?
00:09:38.050 --> 00:09:41.817
I'm not sure about renting out ships.
I mean we discussed it, so that's definitely
00:09:41.817 --> 00:09:45.230
something that we're gonna investigate.
You definitely will be able to hire other
00:09:45.230 --> 00:09:49.734
players to fly your own ships, and so I would
think that there probably would be a case
00:09:49.734 --> 00:09:53.486
where you could rent out ships, and we're
thinking about some other options like
00:09:53.486 --> 00:09:56.666
being able to finance a new ship you want
to buy inside the universe just like you can
00:09:56.666 --> 00:10:01.069
in the real world. But I would think if you're
renting out ships, basically the way it
00:10:01.069 --> 00:10:05.234
would work would be not so much a used ship
lot, although that would be the way, if I'm
00:10:05.234 --> 00:10:09.088
a player and have lost my ship and I don't
have the money to buy a new one, I could go
00:10:09.088 --> 00:10:14.430
to an NPC lot and say "I want to rent this"
and they say "you've got to give us so many
00:10:14.430 --> 00:10:19.149
credits per month" and you could do a deal
like that. But for a player, I would think
00:10:19.149 --> 00:10:26.649
that it would be brokered on our, what we call
the mission board, because that's where you
00:10:26.649 --> 00:10:32.278
put out requests for people to fly missions
for you or to do things for you, and you can
00:10:32.278 --> 00:10:36.826
also offer services. So that's what you'll do.
It'll be kind of like the Craig's List of space.
00:10:36.826 --> 00:10:44.534
Which is "Have Hornet, good condition, willing
to rent for so many credits per game time."
00:10:44.534 --> 00:10:50.095
We haven't implemented that into the
Persistent Universe yet obviously, but that
00:10:50.095 --> 00:10:54.532
would be kind of how I think it would work.
So there you go.
00:10:54.532 --> 00:10:57.120
Nobyn asks:
00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:02.067
Currently the player's interaction with the
world is through a large use icon appearing
00:11:02.067 --> 00:11:06.281
for vague activation zones and non-detailed
input panels. What is the plan for the
00:11:06.281 --> 00:11:09.699
fidelity by which the player interacts and
manipulates the world? Will the player be
00:11:09.699 --> 00:11:13.949
able to press individual buttons on a
dashboard or door lock numeric keypad
00:11:13.949 --> 00:11:16.447
with a more refined and precise method?
00:11:16.447 --> 00:11:23.592
Yeah, the current implementation's the
generic CryEngine "use" implementation.
00:11:23.592 --> 00:11:29.037
We've definitely talked about the need to
have it more sophisticated, higher fidelity.
00:11:29.037 --> 00:11:34.258
Because we are planning on having it, if
you want to turn on your engines or turn
00:11:34.258 --> 00:11:38.230
them off, or turn on your HUD. You have
to hit the switches on your dashboard to
00:11:38.230 --> 00:11:43.931
turn the stuff on. You need a little better
idea than just "use" when you're in the
00:11:43.931 --> 00:11:48.420
general area. So we're thinking about
things where maybe the object gets slightly
00:11:48.420 --> 00:11:55.871
brighter or has a shine on it or the default
would have an outline around it, so you
00:11:55.871 --> 00:12:00.422
know which one it's telling you you can use
and go from there. But that's still in
00:12:00.422 --> 00:12:05.340
development in terms of how that would
work or what we'd do with that, but that's
00:12:05.340 --> 00:12:08.469
definitely part our plan, to be able to do
that. Because we want you to be able to
00:12:08.469 --> 00:12:13.536
interact with the world and use and turn things on
and not have it be as imprecise as it currently is.
00:12:13.536 --> 00:12:17.615
Ok, next question comes from Bear who asks:
00:12:17.615 --> 00:12:22.289
We've been told SC will go for the Hollywood
version of space simulation where sound
00:12:22.289 --> 00:12:25.924
travels through the void. Have you considered
having a switch in the game options
00:12:25.924 --> 00:12:27.898
where external sounds can be turned off?
00:12:27.898 --> 00:12:33.601
Yeah, I've actually talked about this a few
times. It definitely isn't that difficult to
00:12:33.601 --> 00:12:38.808
have a version where when you're outside,
the listener and the sound system are outside,
00:12:38.808 --> 00:12:43.558
you don't hear any sounds. That is definitely
something we would consider, we have
00:12:43.558 --> 00:12:49.644
considered it, and probably would put it in.
But that's sort of a plus item, let me put
00:12:49.644 --> 00:12:53.828
it that way. It's not something that I would
hold up other work for, but it would be
00:12:53.828 --> 00:12:57.058
something that, down the road, would be
fairly simple and we probably would want
00:12:57.058 --> 00:13:03.456
to do just for the people who want to feel
like their sound in space is realistic.
00:13:03.456 --> 00:13:06.979
Ok, next question comes from Circus who asks:
00:13:06.979 --> 00:13:10.846
As spying and hacking will be part of the game,
I would like to know if for example a spy
00:13:10.846 --> 00:13:14.142
(with a blown cover) or a citizen who
made a huge mistake will be able to
00:13:14.142 --> 00:13:18.063
get a new identity? I could imagine that
this means he/she needs to visit an
00:13:18.063 --> 00:13:20.688
identity-renewal institution,
new face, hair, etc.
00:13:20.688 --> 00:13:25.478
Yes, absolutely we're gonna allow it.
There's actually a whole set up where you
00:13:25.478 --> 00:13:29.557
can go get plastic surgery and change your
appearance. It's actually a device that we
00:13:29.557 --> 00:13:34.453
use at the beginning of Squadron 42 to be
in fiction but allow the player to determine
00:13:34.453 --> 00:13:39.251
what they look like. So the concept is that
you're involved in an opening battle and
00:13:39.251 --> 00:13:50.207
you heroically save the day, but you're really
badly scared and injured so you wake up in
00:13:50.207 --> 00:13:54.626
the hospital and you have to give input on
how you want to have your face reconstructed.
00:13:54.626 --> 00:13:59.091
So we're definitely gonna allow that, we'll
definitely have parts where you'll
00:13:59.091 --> 00:14:03.062
be able to, it will be expensive, but there
will be places you can do that, and some
00:14:03.062 --> 00:14:08.276
definitely be "off the grid" so to speak,
so you can do it and not be tracked.
00:14:08.276 --> 00:14:13.115
If you wanted to change your identity, and
do all the rest on the outlaw planets, you
00:14:13.115 --> 00:14:18.582
could do that, and it would definitely not be a
cheap thing to do. But I think it'd be very cool.
00:14:18.582 --> 00:14:22.798
Ok, last question comes from Algared who asks:
00:14:22.798 --> 00:14:27.129
How/when do you envisage implementing the
beta testing? Will beta testing be implemented
00:14:27.129 --> 00:14:31.138
by module while alpha is testing other
modules, or will beta be a final test of
00:14:31.138 --> 00:14:33.327
whole whole package prior to release?
00:14:33.327 --> 00:14:38.768
I know I read this on the forums where everyone
argues about what pre-alpha or alpha or
00:14:38.768 --> 00:14:44.561
beta testing is, so to just give you my concept.
The reason why we call Arena Commander
00:14:44.561 --> 00:14:55.121
pre-alpha is because my definition of alpha,
which is kind of a more standard one, is
00:14:55.121 --> 00:15:06.162
alpha is not content complete, but generally
functionally complete, that you start testing.
00:15:06.162 --> 00:15:12.397
Then beta is content and functionality
complete, but you're trying to fix bugs.
00:15:12.397 --> 00:15:16.645
So you're still honing and tweaking and
adding stuff in alpha. You've got pretty
00:15:16.645 --> 00:15:20.979
much all your features in, but you don't have
all your content in. But in beta, you have
00:15:20.979 --> 00:15:24.356
content and the features in, but you're
just making sure it's debuged.
00:15:24.356 --> 00:15:30.942
Therefore with Arena Commander, we're not
even on Arena Commander v1.0, so you could
00:15:30.942 --> 00:15:38.625
say right now we're pre-alpha, when it's
Arena Commander v1.0, it will be alpha,
00:15:38.625 --> 00:15:43.505
and then it will roll to beta, but really
the alpha and beta descriptions we originally
00:15:43.505 --> 00:15:46.495
had at the start of the project were alpha
and beta for the over all game. Which means
00:15:46.495 --> 00:15:50.873
Star Citizen, the Persistent Universe,
Squadron 42, all that stuff rolled together.
00:15:50.873 --> 00:15:54.292
So one of the reasons we say pre-alpha on
each one of the modules is because we're
00:15:54.292 --> 00:16:00.599
rolling out sections of that bigger overall
game individually to beat on them, test
00:16:00.599 --> 00:16:07.485
on them, get feed back, make them better.
That's sort of all the elements are pre-alpha
00:16:07.485 --> 00:16:11.070
in all these sections, and they will all
roll into an alpha that will be Star Citizen
00:16:11.070 --> 00:16:14.739
that will roll into a beta. That's kind of
why we say pre-alpha verses alpha,
00:16:14.739 --> 00:16:19.750
verses beta. And that's what the process is.
The process I can see us doing is each
00:16:19.750 --> 00:16:24.666
of the modules gets released in a pretty
rough state, much rougher than I would
00:16:24.666 --> 00:16:28.956
ever release anything to the public normally,
and much rougher than a lot of times we
00:16:28.956 --> 00:16:35.960
would release on a wide beta test just to
get the tests, stress tests, get feedback
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:40.846
on whether things work or don't work, and
see where the problems lie. We hone those,
00:16:40.846 --> 00:16:45.817
and then on the modules themselves, we go
along and it's not just "that's the final module."
00:16:45.817 --> 00:16:51.883
No, it's this is a set of the full feature set,
and then we're adding more features
00:16:51.883 --> 00:16:55.409
and functionality as we go along, which
is again why I said pre-alpha, 'cause it
00:16:55.409 --> 00:16:59.584
doesn't have all the functionality, and by
the time we get to all the functionality
00:16:59.584 --> 00:17:02.623
being there, it should be joining the other
modules that have also been doing the
00:17:02.623 --> 00:17:07.923
same process into a place where we've
pretty much got the alpha of Star Citizen
00:17:07.923 --> 00:17:11.525
together, but we're missing some of the
content, some of the planets, locations,
00:17:11.525 --> 00:17:14.634
some of the ships. But all the functionality's
there, and then at that point you go
00:17:14.634 --> 00:17:19.307
from the alpha to the beta once all the
content's in there, then you finish and test
00:17:19.307 --> 00:17:27.401
that, then the game is released or live.
Done is a bad word because as far as I'm
00:17:27.401 --> 00:17:31.454
concerned, as long as you guys are having
a great time and we can keep a viable
00:17:31.454 --> 00:17:37.733
business going, paying people to work on
the game, then we will continually work
00:17:37.733 --> 00:17:41.458
on Star Citizen to make it cooler and bigger
and add more and more of the features
00:17:41.458 --> 00:17:46.792
that just would make this the best damn
space sim ever. There's a long way to go
00:17:46.792 --> 00:17:50.330
there, so I don't want anyone out there to
think that I'm saying that's where we are
00:17:50.330 --> 00:17:54.085
now, that's just our goal and ambition.
That's what we're working towards, but
00:17:54.085 --> 00:17:57.637
we recognize that there is a huge way to
get there. But we're very committed to
00:17:57.637 --> 00:18:02.932
always making the game bigger, better, all
the time. That's the beauty of being online,
00:18:02.932 --> 00:18:07.787
you can constantly be sharing it, like we're
sharing it right now. I know people are
00:18:07.787 --> 00:18:11.479
always worried about things like feature
creep and stuff, but look, people have code,
00:18:11.479 --> 00:18:14.733
they can sit and play, and interact with,
and as we get more of it, we keep adding
00:18:14.733 --> 00:18:18.960
to it and we keep making it better. It's
just an ongoing process, and I'm kind of,
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:23.454
I hope we'll be around long enough, but it
would be really interesting in 10 years
00:18:23.454 --> 00:18:27.577
time to see what the universe looks and
feels like and what's happened in it compared
00:18:27.577 --> 00:18:32.961
to what we all talked about now. 'Cause I
definitely think it's gonna just get cooler
00:18:32.961 --> 00:18:37.628
and bigger and better and also take some
unexpected turns. I mean you can certainly
00:18:37.628 --> 00:18:42.345
even see the process as we go along. You
see what the Hornet looked like in the original
00:18:42.345 --> 00:18:47.708
prototype in 2012, then we did an upgrade when
it first went into the hangars, then now there's
00:18:47.708 --> 00:18:50.483
another upgrade that went in when we went
on to dogfighting. You can see the constant
00:18:50.483 --> 00:18:54.368
iteration and improvement that we're doing
and you guys are all in for the ride, which is
00:18:54.368 --> 00:18:57.658
pretty damn cool, and that's one of the
things I think's pretty exciting about the
00:18:57.658 --> 00:19:01.733
process we're taking. I mean it does take
people to understand that this is early,
00:19:01.733 --> 00:19:06.830
it's gonna get better and you're sort of
seeing the sausage get made, but it's gonna
00:19:06.830 --> 00:19:09.084
be damn good sausage at the end.
00:19:09.084 --> 00:19:12.544
Anyway, there you go, that's the end of this
10 For the Chairman, thank you all for
00:19:12.544 --> 00:19:16.955
tuning in and listening. Thank you to all
the subscribers out there who generously
00:19:16.955 --> 00:19:21.872
provide a little extra money every month
to allow us to do this kind of stuff.
00:19:21.872 --> 00:19:25.707
Thank you to everyone who's backed the game
who's allowing us to make this game at the
00:19:25.707 --> 00:19:29.774
scope and level and ambition that we're
doing on a worldwide basis. There are people
00:19:29.774 --> 00:19:32.840
all around the world who are working on this
game. There's a huge amount of people
00:19:32.840 --> 00:19:36.809
who have now got gainful employment working
on the video game of their dreams thanks
00:19:36.809 --> 00:19:41.388
to all you, so thank you very much, and
I'll talk to you next week. Bye.
