Re: Episode 12 - Incoming Transmission Podcast

I'm listening to it just now and I'm at the part where they talk about how I joined the team and how they had to convince me, so I thought I do a little comment on how I remember that smile

Back then I was mainly doing some freelancing as a webdesigner, when Crm and the guys came to me and said, hey are you up for some graphics work. And while I said "okay, what do you need", being "late to the party" I didn't really know what it was all about, so it kinda felt like a hobby of sorts.

I didn't take it too seriously either because if I remember right, at that time the whole thing was supposed to be some kind of generic frame-engine for tile-based strategy games, and it somehow felt like they didn't really know where their aim was. So they just asked me to do some ground textures, and tree models and stuff, but doing those didn't get me involved in the project any more than necessary. Well, it was that feeling of aimlessness coupled with the fact that I had a well-paying job which I didn't really want to switch out for something insecure.

But then, I can't remember when exactly this happened, but suddenly the guys went like "ah yeah, this is now an mmorpg project with robots". And I was like wtf that's pretty cool, and I think that was also the time when they got an investor, so things could get rolling at last. So they said they needed a UI artist fulltime, and I was like "goodbye stupid website clients who never know what they want and like to troll me, I always hated you", so I became part of the team for real. Well since then I am much more than a UI artist, but that's another story already smile

That, my friend, was the sound of progress.. Also, yes but it wasn't me. At some point I am pretty sure I could hear someone punching their keyboard.

Re: Episode 12 - Incoming Transmission Podcast

Thanks for the podcast Gremrod.  Very insightful to hear you guys and the devs talk about where the game has been.

Re: Episode 12 - Incoming Transmission Podcast

I enjoyed listening to it because for those of us... bittervets... that have been playing since release and had to go through all the sh*t as it was being made up, it's a nice chance to look at Perpetuum from a long-term perspective and see how much the game has progressed since then.

An idea came to mind when I was listening to the developers about how they wanted to create drama, you guys should definitely use the "player history" in Perpetuum as an advertisement. There's so much good material, all it would take is to assemble it in chronological order and let word-of-mouth spread. I mean, how many people started playing EVE because they read about the war between BOB and Goonswarm? If it gets 10 new players to Perpetuum it's worth it the time to write, rather then short stories. smile

I said it long time before too.

Developers wanted to create "their own drama". They made it well: look at the corp. dialogs big_smile Why not to write a sort of perpetuum history and use it for advertisement?

I don't see any podcasts from me in the future. I did talk with Obi and said I would co-host with him if he produced them.
