Greetings Citizens

What a great weekend.

Community Manager Tyler Witkin and I went up to PAX East this weekend to meet up with backers, broadcasters (and even geek out over some other cool games) and had a blast. It’s always a highlight of my job to meet you guys in person, discuss the things you’re passionate about, and see you mix with other backers you otherwise might never have met. I think the next big event between now and then is the ever looming Gamescom, but that’s still so far away and maybe I can sneak myself into a few Bar Citizen events between now and then…

This week, we have some fun treats in store, including another special edition of 10 for the Chairman with special guest, Tony Zurovec. Chris and Tony address 10 questions submitted from and voted on by our development subscribers. The topic for this special edition is Professions in Alpha 3.0, with an emphasis on Cargo and Mining mechanics. You won’t wanna miss it.

Before that happens, Cherie Heiberg takes the hot seat in this week’s Quantum Questions, including dropping a major hint about our next concept ship coming down the pipeline, and Thursday’s ATV brings us the monthly studio update from the UK studio, which is always certain to impress.

Finally, on Friday, Tyler and I return for another Happy Hour broadcast. We’ve spent the last month experimenting with a rotating format for the show, most recently this last Friday with a return to the live interview format with Sean Tracy, Steve Bender and Jake Ross. We’ll continue this rotation in the future with additional installments of Gamedev, Museum, Interview, and more.

With that, we’ll see you in the ‘verse!
