Ooh, fascinating! I've never seen a Podcast for StarMade done before. I would like to add a suggestion:

If viewers ask questions, would you take a brief moment to answer and discuss about it? I thought this would be beneficial to new players.

 

[Keptick]

If I can ever participate in a podcast with you guys, could I present myself like this?

[Lecic]

It was a lot of fun to discuss Starmade stuff with others. I'd suggest signing on as a guest.

A viewer Q&A is a planned section. If you have any questions in particular, go ahead and ask them.

Well I do have one question I'd like to ask: Is there a way to use multiple custom NPC skins of your crew? If not, I would like your opinions on this idea.

I thank you for taking the time to read my questions and comments!

Very nice to listen to as I browse the forms!

 

[fire219]

Heads Up: We are planning Episode 2 now!

If anyone has ideas or questions, put them in here!

Why should you be a guest on StarFeed?
Because I've been around since the tail end of the Yogswarm, and I've been watching the community for some time. I feel that I can represent some of the community, at the very least.

Any subjects that you are especially proficient (or even just strong-opinioned) on?
Ship building. It's all I've done for the past year. I play with different tricks, shapes, weapons, etc., and test out damage on shield bricks and the like. Lots of theory crafting.

I consider myself to be above average in terms of how well versed I am in the current weapons system, and I have strong opinions on where it needs to go in the future.

I am also slightly experienced in experimental other systems - mostly in what would and wouldn't work, and how to do it.

What times are you available?
9:00 AM to 10:00 PM, GMT-5
Mon Wed Fri Sat Sun

Anything else we should know?
I occasionally ramble about complex topics, and may need to be reminded on occasion to cut it short at risk of wasting peoples' time.

 

[Moultonlava5]

Something I wanted to bring up is the possible "robot" voice, when we all have bad connection to each other. Wanted to know if there was a way to improve it.

Perhaps a different voice chat may work better

 

[Moultonlava5]

That is the only thing I could think of but not every guest have every means of chat.

Episode 2 is now out as a recording!

Ep2 -- How to Ship Gooder (What makes the difference between an okay ship and a great ship?)

Thanks to all who watched the stream last night. It was great to see this many people interested in the podcast.



@jzimmerman and lava: In that respect, Mumble is one of the least taxing on an internet connection. Switching over to another VoIP program (TS3, Skype, etc) would likely make it even worse.

 

[Gamel]

oh no, i missed the podcast, just "watching" ep1 on youtube

 

[JimmyJamba]

Good Stuff! I think you should do an episode on the difference between an Alpha game and Beta game. Would be nice if you could have some testers as guests. Include things like what makes a good tester, how to report a bug properly, with some examples of specific bugs and how the testing team squashes them. I know I would like to hear this sort of stuff discussed.

 

[jayman38]

Maybe have a special short podcast at every new release that discusses the changes and that goes down the list of bugs that were closed, and maybe what significant bugs are still open. An audio version of the release announcement in news. Yeah, a player can read the release note, but it's so much more satisfying to hear people discuss those changes in detail. You can bring out hidden details that some people don't understand from the bug descriptions, and how those changes interface with other systems or play mechanics that might not be immediately obvious when reading the description text.

 

[fire219]

@JimmyJamba I'll definitely add it to the possible subjects list.

@jayman38 Sounds like a pretty good idea, I'll see if it can happen.

 

[Moultonlava5]

So Thanks @fire219 and the guys I put episode one and two on YouTube. The new episodes will come out Sundays after the stream, I will try upload them whilst I sleep.

On another note, we need some more suggestions on what is happening in the community, if there is anything you would like us to talk about please comment.
