Star Citizen Live Gamedev: In-Fiction Ship Commercials

This week on Star Citizen Live, we've got a gamedev special covering the in-fiction ship commercials you know and love. Join Jesse Hildreth and Alex Shaw from our in-house cinematics team exploring behind the scenes of the Mercury Star Runner short film, "The Reunion".

Roberts Space Industries is a spacecraft manufacturer within the persistent-world game "Star Citizen" and its companion single-player spaceflight sim, "Squadron 42." RSI is also your portal for information, updates, and purchases of your very own spacecraft with which to trade, plunder, and protect the citizens of Star Citizen.

It's so important to get these guys on screen! The community can be pretty harsh with the criticism (What Is Star Citizen) But when you meet these guys, you know they're just doing the work and trying to deliver the best within their piece of the project.

[FrankWypchol]

Seriously, Jared. When these guys and gals you interview are the muscles and the brain of the project, you absolutely are the beating heart and the warm smile of it. Love you!

[KlausbergerYT]

Jared maybe not the host that we deserve, but he is the host that we need.💙

[STARJUMP_GRIM]

What a fantastic episode. We need to see the cinematics team more!

[Hartsock]

So fun I just finished watching the whole List of In-Game Ship Commercials xD

"All I want is to be an inspiration" This whole channel is an inspiration you give us quadruple A communication, quadruple A customer service & quadruple A customer feedback analysis, if what the other studios do is triple A. It's easy to dogpile you guys in a vacuum very hard to compare you to any, you'd beat them all.
Your opposition is usually
a) People who signal their virtue & righteousness for pockets that never asked for it to make themselves seem noble.
b) People who spent more than they had to and became bitter and salty
c) people who thought paying more than they had to would give them some kind of power over the direction of the game (it won't this is Mr. Robert's Game he doesn't wanna play alone but it's very much his game.)
d) Tribalists who attack in defense of some clickbait magazine, corporation &/or game they want to elevate (it does the opposite they hurt their causes)


Any other critiques that are genuine are usually in spectrum & usually lack the ad hominems & disinformation the opposition shows.

Community hires are good to have, it goes beyond passion at that point and adds the technical know how.

[ReallyDazed]

The marketing cinematics are getting better and better every year and I can't wait for more on the "Reunion" story. Just one note -- do not have scenes of unbelievable plot armor. It tends to suck everyone out of the moment.

[Sandgroper-WA]

Another impressive Star Citizen Live, really shows the passion and calibre of the people working on the project, .

[mrdeschain]

Nice to see who made the commercials. Thanks for this show was great to see.

[timvictor]

So nice to get another look at new people and their workflow. This was fantastic. Thanks to you all.

[scottyrye]

"Super happy fun time hour" man the delivery of that line.


There's happiness in life; hang in there Jared.

[damienfiche]

Cannot tell you how much I enjoy the behind scene work! Great vid!

[risingwolf]

Nice how they do these, love the detail. Thanks to the staff of these in-fiction commercials. Thanks Jared for presenting this. Totally cool. : )

[thecaptainps]

This was a great episode! Super cool to see the process behind all the slick trailers we see :)

[emessar]

This cinematic should be polished and used for the launch of salvage gameplay.

[jordy]

If only SC worked this hard on thing that actually mattered the game might have come out years ago.
