  • Rollercoaster Tycoon meets Elite Dangerous

    Hi everyone. This month has been a rollercoaster. Not the up and downy kind, but more the going round in circles and running sideways kind. Forward progress on the actual book content has been kind of slow, especially in the last couple of weeks. Another thousand or so words of sample adventure has resulted in…

  • Forums and Combat

The main point of the update is to note that I’ve done some work on the forum and website this week, specifically fixing some problems with the forum and adding some more up-to-date content to the website.

  • Have you contacted me about printing?

    I got an email today, originating from this site, from a very kind and generous person offering to print the book once it’s complete. Unfortunately my email form didn’t retain their email address and as such I have no way of getting back in touch. If you are still out there and reading this, can…

  • Progress Reports

    It’s only three and a half days into the campaign and the project has been two-thirds funded! £3,500 in the pot and climbing – that’s 66% of the target. That’s more that I could ever have hoped. Time to start refining and publishing the stretch goals, I think. The support has been immense. Even outside…

  • We have lift off!

    The Kickstarter launched at 10:24pm. Nerves, I have them. I posted earlier on one of the forums I use that this has been kind of a dream of mine, and it’s true. I’m just realising, hard on the heels of the surreality of being asked to help with the official Elite: Dangerous writer’s bible, that…

  • Waiting for confirmation

    Well, that’s the Kickstarter campaign submitted. Just waiting for either approval or rejection now. Fingers crossed… I think I’ve done a good enough job of putting together a campaign, I just have to hope now that I will be able to post good enough updates. I have no doubt about my ability to put together…

  • Welcome to Elite Encounters

    The game will hopefully be crowdfunded through Kickstarter. I’m just waiting on the green light from Frontier Developments to ensure that the terms and pledges of the kickstarter are suitable for the development plan for Elite: Dangerous and then I’ll submit the Kickstarter campaign for approval then…LAUNCH! It’s been a long road to this point.…
