News about ED from around and about the place.

Didn't see a thread for this kind of thing (if there is one then mods can merge it), but i was thinking it might be nice to have a thread that deals with all the links to news/articles and interviews involving Frontier and about ED, and have them in one place.

So first up was this interview with games industry international:

''Braben: A lot of confidence and a little bit of cash":

Frontier has just signed a publishing deal for two new titles, but how key was its Game Of The Week process?

Frontier Developments is busy making Elite: Dangerous right now, but it's also just announced a new publishing deal for two unnamed titles. The new games will use the studio's Cobra technology and were both products of a Game Of The Week process, which allows members of staff to pitch their ideas.

Here David Braben, Frontier boss, explains why that process is still so important to the company, why the indie scene is like '70s rock and how you get a studio to its twentieth anniversary and still maintain a lustrous head of hair.

And one from RPS a few days back:

'The RPS Chatroom – Elite: Dangerous Alpha':

Probably got the screenies sometime after playing and writing the article. Or MP was locked off on certain accounts (journos) cos it's full of bugs... Well, many more currently than the SP missions. ;)

Found myself with time on my hands waiting to pick up one of my lads and picked up a copy of Edge magazine. What I had not realised was that the Elite piece is 12 pages long plus the cover, granted lots of pictures and graphics but in a 130 page magazine that's 10 per cent.

Yeah, I read it on the iPad. There it's 22 pages, but I guess it's the same content, Apart from the multimedia stuff I guess (a lot of screenshots, video, audio etc.), or do you get that on a disc maybe in the retail edition?
I used the trial subscription to get this one issue for free.

Loads of content and quite a few bits of information I didn't read anywhere else before. Very nice article!

Funnily enough, there's also an article about Oculus Rift in there... what a coincidence...
