Elite Dangerous Launch Event Report

The game's afoot! -- 24 Nov 2014 -- Comments: 3

It's going to be a brief one, people, apologies. It's not a Kickstarter update, although I will be sending out a notification via KS. 22-11-14 Yes, Saturday 11th November was the OFFICIAL LAUNCH of Elite Dangerous: a media extravaganza to which I was lucky enough to have an invitation to, thanks to the generosity of the RPG backers. In deference to the fact that it was the RPG that allowed me to attend, I made sure I had a stand at the event where I could show the banners, give out ... Read More

Elite and The Non-Elite Market

New fans, old fans and non-gamers UNITE! -- 08 Jul 2013 -- Comments: 3

I'm taking a bit of a "Wagar" approach to this update and having a more speculative look at the interesting Elite times we live in. It's an unscheduled update - train of thought thinking after listening to the LaveCon podcast... One of the big things that came out of the LaveCon meet-up was a question about whether or not the Elite franchise appeals to the non-game playing market.
