Hey guys, Mike here. One of the dreams I've had being a Wing Commander fan is owning a pilot's helmet from the WC3/4 games. Y'know, something to add to that immersion of space sim-ing as well as just having it for my own geekiness. Well, it turned out LOAF had one of the extra prop helmets in...

And in that bar, jazz music.

In negotiations for Big Fish.

Well that was a heck of a lot of fun. Hopefully we can hang out a bit tomorrow as well.

Awesome, I'll be there. Since you're sticking around for a week, might I suggest a few places to eat and other distractions. Saw that you already hit up Amy's and the Drafthouse. El Patio's enchiladas are wonderful, and Trudy's ain't too bad. Most people say go to Chuy's, but they don't...

Groovy, though just to clarify since I haven't seen any details from the RSI site: Any print off of the ticket or does it need to be color? There a specific door/event/time that we have to be at to let us in for the announcement?

Hopefully the info/invite gets sent out soonish, since we're 4 days away from the event.

Seems I moved to Austin at just the right time. Signed up for that in-person livestream the RSI site promoted, since I haven't been able to con/blackmail/plead/beg any of my developer buddies here or on the west coast to sneak me into GDC proper. So here's hoping for a grand reveal. Also, I...

Gah, I've completely gotten sidetracked on a bunch of things. I'll see what I can do.

Ten parsecs? That's faster than the Kessel Run!

Plus I remember WC4 having a few missions in nebula-infested systems. I forget specifically which ones, but I remember the purple goo in that game as well.

Minor update, just so you people looking on know I'm alive. A few other projects have cropped up that needed attention, so work on the next sector has been slow. But it progresses.

Heya! I guess a question I would have is, as someone who plays a lot of Sword of the Stars and more than likely going to buy your game, what should I expect to relearn between the two systems?

Yeah, I was aware of the CIC during my first college days, just never got involved in the community back then. It'd be fun to peruse that process. Just from what I've researched and looked at, the spelling of Acrux gets my lean because I'm scrutinizing the pixels on the map. Acrus has the...

That took a little less time than I thought. Now what I meant by holding off on the nebulae, was that I wasn't going to completely eliminate it from the map. I got a few tricks up my sleeve that I think I can pull off to make it both a welcome addition to the map without letting it disrupt...
