Breaking News:
http://www.theforce.net/latestnews/story/LucasArts_Spike_To_Unveil_New_SW_Game_Franchise_145906.asp LucasArts and Spike to Unveil a new star wars game franchise May 31st on Spike TV. Not knowing what it’s about, we’re going to discuss our hopes and dreams for a star was game.
Space Command:
Now something interesting cropped up on my recent Holonet search. Space Command. Now Space Command “is a series of new and original feature films written, produced, directed by and starring some of the top science-fiction visionaries working today.” The movies are set to be made by STAR TREK writer Marc Zicree, GALACTICA FX whiz Doug Drexler, director Neil Johnson and other Sci-Fi luminaries.
The movies are apparently inspired by the old Sci-Fi movies of the 50’s and are intended to, as Drexler put it, “bring to life ‘Bold Adventures in the Far Reaches of Space.’” What makes this project interesting though, is how it’s being organized and funded. The team behind Space Command has set up a kickstarter campaign to help fund the project (we’ll talk a bit about Kickstarter campaigns in this discussion)
To give something back to the community that helps fund the project they’ve set up a series of tiered rewards for donating to the project. For example if you donate 5 dollars you get a downloadable ID card and your name on the site. Donate 50 dollars and you get a copy of the first film, your name and a thank you at the end of the movie, exclusive trading cards, an E-book with concept art, and more. However 5’s and 50’s a movie series doesn’t make so they have incentive for donating big money as well in what they call ‘stand alone’ rewards. For example if you donate 1,500 dollars you get all the standard rewards, plus a walk on non-speaking role, 15 people can get this. 2,500 dollars nets you a custom raygun used in the movie, 50 people can get this. Their website PledgeSpaceCommand.com goes further with paypal donations were if you happen to be rich, and want to spend it, 250,000 dollars will net you the rocket external set piece, it’ll go great in your yard next to the lawn gnomes.
Patch 1.3 Crew Skill Updates Revealed:
The people over at Inquisitor’s Roadhouse recently got an interview with David Hunt and Patrick Malott. They talked crew skills, some of the things they revealed are easier augmentation, in which one basically needs to press a button, and pay a credit fee and BAM augmented piece. The costs range, currently, from 4,500 to 50,000 credits, and critted augmentation can still occur. So the question is, what do those of us who spend their time crafting think about this update?
Character Transfers:
Stephen Reid, former Senior Community Manager for SWTOR recently tweeted that regular character transfers are being worked on, and we could see them as soon as early summer! https://twitter.com/#!/Rockjaw/status/202850815659089921
Spam, Spam Everywhere:
Spam bots have apparently been striking the SWTOR hashtag on twitter, Stephen Reid has asked faithful twitter followers to mark every spam bot as such so that twitter gets them quickly and hopefully their owners move on, or at least get bored.
Layoffs, what does this mean for SWTOR:
An undisclosed number, somewhere south of 200 by estimations, of employees were laid off from Bioware Austin recently. These include Stephen Ried, community manager, and David C. Simon known for creating and writing the webcomic Crimson Dark.
