Ehh, Aziza was rather enchanting, at least. And then there was Dinarzad, who was very flirty. It's been awhile since I played QFG as well, and QFG2 is the one I best remember, so there are probably others.

Well, since the Aluminum Mallard was going to be in the SQ7 fangame we figured it would make sense for Roger to continue with it. Once SQ7 didn't happen I guess we just didn't consider throwing an explanation in there - probably for the best as that would have just lengthened the intro...

It has them.

This weekend I switched around the layout of GuysFromAndromeda.com so blog posts are more prominent. The GFA site will continue to be about general goings-on with the company/podcast. I hope this helps with any confusion. At this time there aren't any plans to tie in SQN more directly with the GFA site(s) - eventually I'll have to work something out for the SQN badge reward but one thing at a time...

The 27th is the next Hangout, unless you're in Denmark, in which case it's on the VNth.

The way it was explained to me: Guysfromandromeda.com is for the company GFA LLC, not SpaceVenture itself - we're currently working on tweaks to re-orient that more appropriately. SVRewards.com is the rewards site for the backers who pledged $15 or up ($30 or up for pre-release access) to get access to the diaries/chats/voting. There have been some diaries up, not as many as I would personally like but they've got to spend time actually designing the game I suppose. I know chat is on the way, I set up the page this week and Chris just announced it. Voting is going to be further down the road. The Andromedan Post is for news about not only SpaceVenture but the Sierra community in general. Like you said, SQ.NET has been around longer than any of the other sites and isn't under GFA "jurisdiction" (I do admin all of these sites, but that's where the control sharing ends). SQN has more of a fan-based/community-operated focus than the other sites. We're taking all of these ideas into consideration when talking about where we need to go with the websites. So keep it up - thanks!

What.... *gets out the pitchforks and torches*

Yeah, Inform seems to be fairly easy.

I had planned to have us on one computer - I'm bringing a desktop condenser microphone which should let us all participate at the same time.

Regarding the website(s), I definitely agree that the main page of guysfromandromeda.com needs a bit of tweaking. I've been giving some thought to how to re-arrange it without giving the PayPal pledge thing less priority. The organization of the site in general could also use a refit. Unfortunately, the stuff going on behind-the-scenes won't permit an easy blending of guysfromandromeda.com and svrewards.com at this point. Conceptually, they're organized rather differently so I'm not sure it would have ever worked. Others have mentioned that a forum style would have worked better for SV Rewards. I can see that works pretty well for other projects, but I think Chris wanted at least some presence for interested non-backers to pick up on what kind of things were going up.

Let me just say this, if it weren't for Chris, you would probably not be hearing anything out of the Two Guys (relevant to SpaceVenture). It's not their fault either - they're just not promoters like Chris is. If you listened to many of the commentaries, the guys tend to ramble off-topic occasionally and Chris is the one who brings them back. The Two Guys have full control over the game. Chris provides input, sure, but Scott and Mark have final say on everything. Incidentally, if you want unfiltered access to Scott and Mark, they show up occasionally on Twitter - @SlashVohaul & @Wilcofever Do you have any ideas on making the websites more navigable? I'd be happy to give that a look if you have anything in particular in mind.

I've got about a million e-mails to respond to (and they keep coming in). If the user account resets peter off before then I might show up just to heckle whoever else comes.

Right, it's just diaries/concept art at this point. Let me know if you can't see those.

Well, the GOG versions aren't DRM'd...

Checked with Chris on that one and this will most likely be possible.

Yes.

You still thinking about going out there in person?

Is it later today yet?

Sorry about that. I'll talk to Chris about sending out another e-mail to all the backers.

There's some coming in every day. ;)

It would also be nice to have a hangout or something from the convention, probably on the 27th of the month when I plan to be there.

They did.

I check once in awhile, too ;)

What time are we doing this?
