Jared is my favorite person on the internet, period. Always makes me chuckle haha

[Ken]

I coulda swore he was about to call out SaltEMike at the beginning there 😆

[KCHUPSTUDIO]

can we get a Mech Suit in Star Citizen?

[kryptostheos]

This is why this game takes so long to make because they are making the systems to make the game first. But the way they are approaching this is going make the final product something special. I tell everyone all the time that this is the only game truly raising the bar of game design.

I’m relatively new to star citizen. The game you guys are making is really cool. The game is beautiful. I’m hoping that the implementation of server meshing and its stabilization will be a strong foundation for bigger changes in the future.

You'll Never get fired Jared.
Presenting content as they are in fact just around the corner, knowing it may not be released for years, that is a rare talent.
All this deception, and we still Love you.
Jared is a Unicorn

engineer -> manager -> engineer -> manager -> engineer . . . sounds like my career. 🤣

[lifesshortbs]

Maaann i'm listening to this at work and you drove me CRAZY with that Teams call. I was like "Where's the freakin answer button?!?"

[AAX]

ROFL. Right when I was like...does FOB mean FOB....Jared was like...FOB means FOB. Awesome stuff!

[eXpG_Harlock]

Whenever i watch these i can feel the fun in the voices.
They love their job so much.

[odsgaming]

it'd be cool if they made bunkers surfaces look like that, makes it look alot more interesting then just a building in the middle of no where

[KenMaerran]

I feel for Jared having to constantly act like a lawyer explaining the difference between estimates and actual delivery dates, between intended deliverables and actuals.

[Mr_Flerb]

It makes me inexpressibly happy to see Spaceship Earth on your shelf. I knew EPCOT was a strong source of inspiration for SC, but it’s lovely to see it.

wait complex integrated highways, we just wanted some nice roads through the mountains of microtech to a destination of importance or something like that, but i guess if spaceflight is so common it makes no sense, but are we that far in the future where roads aren't needed, aren't there roads and vehicles inside cities so what is stopping you from putting POI's out there that have one long road within reach of most ground vehicles from a city, just one road, somewhere! Even if for hiking, recreation etc, make the verse feel more alive, it feels like nothing is habitable and no one has trekked or explored anything ever lol, minus a few ship wrecks but I would expect more when you have the scale you have..

These are the first level designers who say there should be no such thing as dead ends to trap players. Every other FPS game I have experienced has had carefully designed hidden death traps by design. You guys fundamentally broke that level design rule and I love you for it.

@1:04:03 you know, my first thought was, there should be an artificial cave entrance. edit: And with "artificial cave" I mean some kind of underground storage/car park/industrial complex.

[Sentrme]

Thanks Jared! You do a GREAT JOB giving us transparency! Try to ignore all the whining worthless trolls.

Be constructive and beneficial...Trolls!

[vertexrikers]

I'd kinda like to watch a CIG Reacts as described in the first half minute... 😁
