Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.27,0:03:27.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it's pretty much a full pan-company effort, and obviously I'm overseeing most of that on
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.40,0:03:32.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the high level creative and also in a lot of ways the day-to-day tasking.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.22,0:03:38.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then on top of that, in the extra hours, not that have many in a day, I'm actually doing a decent amount of coding.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.19,0:03:58.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Forrest: The biggest challenge is taking all this new tech that we have, the PBR.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.71,0:04:10.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,our damage states have evolved and become way better, but more complicated.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.00,0:04:14.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it's going through every single aspect and bringing it together to
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.36,0:04:17.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,get everything to work together the way it should.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.15,0:04:21.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ben: We have a huge community of people who are eager to do nothing but

Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.24,0:04:28.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and my job is to keep them happy and reasonable until they can start doing that.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.36,0:04:33.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Mark: The biggest challenge right now is making sure everything works in multiplayer.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.23,0:04:37.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Especially making sure things are synced across the clients.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.30,0:04:43.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We don't want things where one guy might see a ship blow up, and the other guy sees a perfectly healthy ship.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.65,0:04:49.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Paul: Our project grew so big, so we have tons of features we want to bring into the game,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.11,0:04:53.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we're on a pretty tight schedule so the biggest challenge is
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.26,0:04:57.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,making sure that all those systems make it into the dogfight.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.61,0:05:09.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's kind of crazy and also challenging, but it pushes us really to throw out something cool for you.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.31,0:05:14.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Of course you know there's tons of people who are totally into the game and
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.91,0:05:19.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,want to see something cool, so it's challenging but exciting.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.61,0:05:25.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris Smith: The biggest challenge would be the technical aspect that we're dealing with right now.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.03,0:05:32.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Our ships are very complex, there's a lot of things that move and the fidelity is really high.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:32.40,0:05:36.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it just makes everything more complicated in that way.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.50,0:05:41.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But we're working through it, and it's fun, it's a fun process, it's good.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.19,0:05:46.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris Roberts: Getting the game to work over the internet via the cloud server.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.78,0:05:54.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we're still working on that, and that's obviously gonna be the backbone of what the final game's gonna use.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:54.45,0:05:58.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It just has challenges in terms of debugging.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.02,0:06:01.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So normally when we debug locally, it's much easier, we have more information,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:01.94,0:06:04.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but once we start to put it up in the cloud and we start to use
Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.56,0:06:08.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what we call a "release" build verses what we call a "profile" or "debug" build,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:08.50,0:06:12.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there's a lot less information for our programmer to look at to see why something crashed.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:12.50,0:06:19.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you sort of do "caveman" debugging in those cases, where you figure out what areas it
Dialogue: 0,0:06:19.51,0:06:25.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,crashed in and then narrow it down rather than open up the debugger and take a look at it very easily.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:25.59,0:06:32.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's probably one of the bigger challenges, and then just getting all the different people that are
Dialogue: 0,0:06:32.30,0:06:37.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,working on this to work together in such a way that they're not just stepping on each other's toes.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:37.02,0:06:41.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And finally I think there's a lot of things to get done and polished for the dogfight,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:41.80,0:06:46.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I don't think we're gonna have everything polished the way I want it for the PAX event,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:46.22,0:06:54.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but hopefully not too far after the PAX event, we'll get everything to the point where I feel comfortable.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:54.58,0:06:57.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Travis: I think one of our biggest challenges for the Dogfighting Module is making sure
Dialogue: 0,0:06:57.80,0:07:00.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we provide something that meets our own expectations internally.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:00.63,0:07:05.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A lot of us come from a background where this whole crowdfunding, open development is new for us,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:05.14,0:07:09.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so we have a desire to make the most polished, perfect release we can,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:09.83,0:07:12.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'cause we only get one opportunity for a first impression.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:12.15,0:07:16.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But we need to balance that realistic expectation against the fact that our community's behind us,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:16.69,0:07:18.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they support us, and they want to see everything that
Dialogue: 0,0:07:18.94,0:07:21.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we're working on in progress, and help us with that process.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:21.63,0:07:25.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that's a bit of a balancing act when we're determining what we want to release, and
Dialogue: 0,0:07:25.84,0:07:28.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how it's gonna be scoped and how much polish is too much polish,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:28.58,0:07:30.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and how much we should just let go out the door.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:30.30,0:07:35.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What is it like to develop a game and have 400,000 fans watching your every move?
Dialogue: 0,0:07:35.74,0:07:41.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ben: It's an incredible responsibility, but it's the best way to develop games that I've seen so far.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:41.38,0:07:46.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just being able to connect directly to all these 400,000 people and know what they want.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:46.76,0:07:53.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's so much better than working in quiet behind the curtain of some publisher.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:53.19,0:07:56.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Travis: It is very stressful because we hold ourselves probably to the highest level of
Dialogue: 0,0:07:56.70,0:08:00.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,accountability for making it fun, making it polished, making it an enjoyable experience.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:00.25,0:08:03.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's what we're all here to do, to share Chris' vision,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:03.34,0:08:07.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and share our individual contributions with the community and
Dialogue: 0,0:08:07.77,0:08:10.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have it received as we would want it to be received as gamers ourselves.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:10.22,0:08:13.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Forrest: It's nervous... No it's awesome, I love it. It's absolutely fantastic.

Dialogue: 0,0:08:38.31,0:08:44.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But for the most part, what I'm doing won't be seen until PAX, so the pressure's on.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:44.88,0:08:49.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris Smith: Sometimes it can be nerve-wracking I guess, it's definitely different.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:49.54,0:08:55.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The previous game I worked at was very under wraps, and usually everything is very quite and hush-hush
Dialogue: 0,0:08:55.05,0:08:59.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,until you get to a certain point in the game where you begin to show things to the audience.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:59.72,0:09:04.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,With this project, it's the exact opposite, where we're very up front and everything.
