New stream series: Frontier Xtra

Paige Harvey · Feb 22, 2019

Hello everyone!

We're excited to announce a new monthly stream called Frontier Xtra, in which your Community Managers will take you through the latest news for our Frontier games and communities. We will talk about active discussions within the community, the best creations or screenshots of the month, fun moments we've encountered, and more.

We will be doing these streams every last Friday of the month, with the first one being today, 22 February at 15:00 UTC. Please come and join us over on our Twitch channel - we'd love to have you in the chat!

While a large chunk of the time will be focused on discussing our games, there's plenty of room to let your voice be heard too! We'll be dedicating some time to any questions you might have about the Frontier games you play, so please pop them on the thread below.

Additionally, we are introducing the Question of the Month: what do you want to know about the gaming industry, Frontier itself, or the Community Managers/Developers? This section will be dedicated to discussing a question from you, as long as it's relevant to the gaming industry. Please put your thoughts down below, and we will pick this month's favourite to discuss.

Hope to see you there!

Ok, well, I'll start.

Do we have an idea about how the teams of each game are sized/split, respectively to each other ?

Aka, which percentage of the teams is composed of audio wizards, or coding necromancers, or even game design gurus ?

Is there a separate team working on the Cobra Engine itself and enhancing the tech and tools it has ?

Oops that's 3 questions

Here's a question: Why has the "made for VR" stuff been removed from the E

website?

AliceInUK · Apr 25, 2019

Is this months stream definitely on Friday 26 April. Last month it was a week early

This week's Frontier Xtra livestream was on last Wednesday, it was a special due to the announcement of Frontier's new game Planet Zoo. Frontier also covered some topics about the other games.

You can watch the replay here:

(As) If nobody has bothered to mention this before @Paige Harvey @Stephen Benedetti

PLEASE TURN UP YOUTUBE AUDIO VOLUME!?

Seriously, go watch an Obsidian Ant, D2EA, TheYamiks, Brocast, #BlameAscorbius, Plater, Buur Pit, literally ANY of the guys that stream or upload videos of your game! They get it right while you guys are STILL fumbling in the dark on this point. No wonder nobody bothers watching your streams any more.

Fix that so we can at least hear you lot ramble on about what else you did on the weekend...

[PS: Might be sensible to talk about the actual game instead, and maybe learn how to play it?]
[Another tip: Have you considered reading the comments people leave on your videos at all!?]

[Edit: lol, just noticed this is probably the wrong thread but I'm beyond caring, just fix the audio]

There's a misspelling in the title.
Drop the 't' and turn it back to front.

Why do you even ask these questions like you should be privy to the staffing and development strategies of this company?

AliceInUK · Oct 18, 2019

Do these streams even happen anymore?

Yes, they do. We didn't have one last month due to Twitchcon, as half the team were away. We are scheduled to have one at the end of this month and will inform you all when we've confirmed a date.

Well, as much as it might surprise you there were hints in the original post by Paige especially in paragraphs 3 and 4

When are you guys gonna have some serious streams. I'm tired of the micky mouse stuff, hosted by CMDRs that can barely fly a sidewinder. We want a series of serious ED play, which includes things like BGS and PP. Seriously, if your community folk think its chalenging to get their first Krait after 6 months play they are a joke. Please, please, have a series and host that have 5000+ hours of play, fully engineered ships and elite. Then get them to discuss and demonstrate serious game play - please no more beginners!!!! Even your series on engineering is a joke only suitable for beginners.
