If u have time how about even a weekly 5 minute youtube video on how youre progressing or even for 0.5a as it stands now just give us an overview along witn youre blogs in a visual graphic youtube sense on how youre progressing

It's not a bad idea, but it does take a fair bit of time. Depending on what quality you're aiming for, I suppose Definitely something to consider.

In the meantime, let me leave this here.

quality can just be a quick 5 minute lets play even that u do in a spare moment and just up load it even if just for us forum whorages who will probably spread the word around the web just somethign to promote it something that takes up a only a small amount of youre time to

BTW, did you tried to contact TotalBiscuit?

I guess he'd be happy to do a "Wtf is Starfarer", and that would give you TONS of visibility.

I've been holding off on doing any sort of publicity push until the game is more complete. I think once 0.5a proper (not the preview) is out, then it'll be a good time to get the word out more actively. Only one chance to make a first impression and all that.

I agree, people are tricky that way.    And also, I think once that first impression occurs, it will be a very positive one at that.

Funny thing is, I had already pestered TB about it a few months ago. Luckily, he ignored me. Like Alex pointed out, a 0.5a version would show a better picture of Starfarer. 0.35a already rocks the boat, but it's just one piece of the cake. A very tasty piece though. Time for another bite!

You're obviously right, I think I'm suffering from a bit of over-eagerness.

This said, there's something I will maintain no matter what: this game is already worth 10$ in its current state. And I'm not the only one thinking so (have a look at the comments on RPS).

Kudos to you guys!

Oh that would be nice. 


The guys in Firewolf do this at a regular basis with Overgrowth, and is pretty awesome the support they get from the community.

But like Alex said, maybe letting the game bake in the oven a little more would ne necessary. But nice idea, anyway. 

[theShadow]

well, thats to accompany a weekly unstable release. however, weekly progress videos would be nice.

and fyi, it's wolfire

[ollobrains]

some games companies do a weekly realise others have a more conservative and wait and see and go for more timed outputs

[BeanusMaximus]

Ooooo I support a lets play!!

I agree that it is a good idea. Maybe something could be done in the style of the weekly by Wolfire games. They are very short and easy to make, but also quite informative, giving the users an idea whats going on in development.

I also hope when 0.5a gets released we will have a quicker release schedule? Remember, release early, release often. You are running the risk of becoming much too perfectionist or possibly backing yourself into a corner when you work that long without releasing something.

The current delay has more to do with the broad scope of the changes and the groundwork layer nature of the changes than any sort of perfectionist tendencies in my opinion, I'm sure that the Preview version of 0.5 that we will receive shortly will be far from perfect, but it also has to be playable and functionally working.

I agree (I'm already getting giddy for it haha) xD
