So a couple weeks ago, RSI started to hype a special video of Chris Roberts and Technical Director Sean Tracy called
Citizentalk. It took the place of this week's ask-Roberts-about-stuff
10 for the Chairman as said
here .
The transcript of the latest
Reverse the Verse episode elaborated a bit on that...
http://imperialnews.network/2016/07/reverse-the-verse-episode-101-summary/Citizentalk will not be coming out today as it’s not ready yet. 10 for the Chairman may not return either as they’re changing their video format.
Talking about ATV 100. It was originally planned to have it be a two hour episode (...) they split it up into probably four episodes. No it’s not because of us, it’s just easier for the viewers to digest and enjoy. Over the coming weeks you will therefore see ATV 100 part 1 (this week), ATV 100 part 2 next week, then part 3, then part 4. (...) They’re completely revamping their video content as seen in ATV 100 which will be the standard from then on, shorter, but more concise segments and wanting to keep the runtime to 30 minutes or less.
They’re in the middle of drastically changing their video content, but nothing is set in stone so everything they’re discussing can change, they just want to explore a variety of ideas and take all of your feedback seriously from the forums, chat, etc. (...) There’s a poll on the subscriber den about voting for their favourite segments in the past to give them an idea of what the majority like. (...) Lots of changes are happening and some things may take time like the CitizenTalk that isn’t coming out today and may not come out next week even, but bear with them as they go through the changes. They take the subscriber funds seriously and they sure to never use development funds for Community content.
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
About the delay of the
Citizentalk video, community manager Discolandohad this to say :
Lando just explained on Captain Richard's stream that they found out that they didn't have the footage they wanted because CR and Sean Tracy wanted to speak about some of the more cutting edge stuff that there simply wasn't enough footage of. And they found out that they didn't have it until an hour before RTV went live.
https://as.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/4qv3su/so_the_special_chairman_video_has_been_delayed/ Star Citizen : We'll also refactor our featurettes, we have no idea what we are doing They also just announced that the people subscribing to the community content will get to have free fly each month on a different ship for the alpha. If you don't know, they sworn a while back that Star Citizen wouldn't have subs to play, kinda sound they try to get around that. That subscription apparently already gave you priority access to the limited release of upcoming patches...
They're also now planning to have a big booth at Gamescom
"shaped like the bridge of the Idris ship". Last time we heard, it was gonna be a very informal presence. Maybe CIG is playing their cards close to the chest, but I'd say it looks like momentus changes are decided in an hurry, maybe following Roberts's diktats and whatever direction they feel the wind is blowing.
EDIT : Oh god, the latest Derek Smart rumor mill
Chris is reported to now be building a FUCKING MOVIE SET at Imaginarium studios in the UK where they've done some mocap work.
