Thanks for the Dev Diary... sometimes it's just good to stare into David's eyes and make soft noises....

*Is the restriction order expired yet?*
 
To be frank, *we don't know*. Travel and trading makes sense to have in one build, because, well, you can't trade without travel.

True, but you can travel without trade. So if they want to test that seperatly that might be in a seperate build before trading gets introduced, which is what I wrote, but this is of course just speculation.

If Michael wants to clarify this he is certainly welcome. ;)

hahahha, you are such a crafty ****** eric - always trying :D

edit. arf sorry it isn't a foul word i used, just friendly (methinks ;) )
 
From the view of the office playing ED - it looks like multi-monitor support is working, at least in one version of the client. And.. in that same shot, is the player nearest the camera on the right flying a cobra? The ship holo (on the right) looks a bit larger than a sidewinder in comparison with the other player on the left of the screen.

ETA: I might be wrong and it is just the perspective... ah well.

I think they're still Sidewinders... I caught a glimpse of the front (which is very different to the Cobra) when the one closest to the camera pitched up at one point...
 
Hi Michael,

We'll probably get a lot of difficult questions over the weekend, so I'll try and ask one you can answer:

The video mentions multiplayer, travel, trading and outfitting. Should that statement be interpreted to mean those are the only remaining alpha phases, or are you still reserving the right to add extra alpha phases before the beta phase begins?

Really goo to see a new Dev diary. Nice update, can't wait for multi=player and the latest build. Still saving for a decent joystick but from that video it obviously doesn't make you a good pilot......
 
Thanks for the dev diary. Even though it was rather light on content I am sure its really appreciated by all us backers.

It looked like you guys were having heaps of fun in multiplayer.. I'm really excited for that and I bet that element of the game is going to be awesome to showcase on player made videos.

I suspect its going to be an amazing year for our collective gaming experiences.:)
 
Thanks Michael for the new dev diary :)
It's a short video but with a lot of information :D

It's nice to see what features and game mechanics await us in future features. Really looking forward to the travel and trading build!
 
Are these new pictures in the media section?

Thanks for the update. Lots of alpha goodness to look forward to!

1m18: the guy in the interesting shirt certainly likes his helis! Looks like a fun place to work. We're always buzzing each other with little helis in our office. But tell him to get a quadcopter with camera - it's the future!
 
looking forward to this, will be interesting to know if we are able to choose who we play with or will it just throw us in with random commanders.

my prediction for alpha/ beta /gamma.

All of Feb, Multiplayer combat.
all of march travel and trading
most of April Extras

End of April Beta 1
start of may Beta 2
June to September Gamma
