Intro

• Good afternoon, hope everyone’s having a good time, etc…
• Star Citizen talk
• the theme of Dice 2015 is without borders, if I were going to think of a project that would typify something without borders, I would definitely think star citizen.
• Star Citizen: Without Borders, or, how I learned to stop worrying and love the crowd
• 72 million!
• big number. But, it’s NOT the whole SC story.
• SC represents a radically different approach to publishing.
• Success is no fluke.
• Devs and Publishers can embrace the way SC goes about things.
• World is changing, CIG decided from the beginning that the technology of today allows CIG to connect with the audience in a very different way.
• quotes
• instant communication can take down dictatorships
• turn good ideas into billion dollar companies (google)
• and make house cats celebrities (grumpy cat)
• Time has come to embrace your audience.
• Join the crowd, join the cloud.
• No need for a publishers green light, no need to give up their IP, and hopefully not compromising the vision.
• Kickstarter, Uber, airBNB, all remove the middle man.
• thought behind SC was go directly to the ultimate audience.
• true even before initial crowdfunding. Initial plan was to take a Minecraft model, build initial alpha, then share it at a reduced price and continue to build as people join and play.
• Migrated to using crowdfunding.
• Funding without Borders
• started with teaser ‘Golden Ticket’ site, to build community before announcing.
• 30 days before Kickstarter
• 10,000 people signed up in the first day
• By the time they announced the game, had 32000 members before they even said what the game was.
• Oct 10, 2012, first day of crowd funding campaign in Austin
• from the beginning, focused on fostering community and engaging and generating content.
• Energy that comes from that that helps to create excitement and build.
• Ended the initial funding campaign with a large community of backers from around the globe.
• kept focus on engaging and reaching out to prospective players
• instead of focusing on the publisher and deal first, they focused on community
• Development without borders
• different approach to talent. Don’t focus on bringing talent in, or fighting with other studios in the same city, instead go to different places where the talent is.
• Want feedback on the design? Get it before you ship
• developing a game behind closed doors? ‘dead and buried’
• in today’s world that’s not what people want. People want to be connected, see progress, get excited.
• facebook, tumblr, instagram, twitch, all about sharing the experience
• share dev process and…well, everything.
• share they go. CR has made many games, and as you’re making the games, in the development process, you see a great many amazing things, and you get excited, but normally you can’t share that outside your group.
• sharing what you’re doing is exciting for the team, it’s exciting for the people seeing it.
• CIG allows backers to see everything, including mistakes.
• always communicating, lots of transparency.
• Community feel like they’re part of the team. Get to play the game, get to try parts of the game and give feedback. It’s a beneficial process.
• started in 2012 with ~a dozen developers.
• in 2015, offices in six cities, across four countries, and two continents.
• as dev staff and offices grow, so does access to community.
• LA, Austin, Manchester, UK, in house
• Illfonic – colorado, Behaviour – Montreal
• allows the community to visit dev locations, which builds excitement.
• the team gets excitement from being able to share the game.
• easier to get up early in the morning to crank out a giant ship that’ll take 6 months to build
• helps dev team keep enthusiastic
• instant feedback from backers helps to guide and polish earlier than usual
• interaction with the community, and the communities energy, motivates the team
• Communication without borders
• a press release and some screen shots? Not enough
• saving up for a few reveals? not enough
• stage managing an audience? Not enough.
• none of this works in today’s 24/7 news world.
• people always want new data to share.
• youtube, twitter, reddit, these are platforms people use to share their ideas, and they’re doing it all the time
• concept was to engage with users with that same frequency as people get from other media
• Daily updates, inside looks on universe and art, everything, almost as it happens in real time
• live chats on forums
• fans can interact with dev team and ask questions
• daily development updates
• twice weekly full fiction
• building the universe via the website before they can adventure around and explore
• detailed monthly reports
• more in depth than any report that CR used to do with any other dev / production company
• monthly magazine that covers the process
• consistent video updates
• one every 2 days or so
• multiple weekly web tv shows
• behind the scenes focus segments
• meet the devs interviews
• trailers and ship commercials
• using game assets, create future space commercials to get audience interested
• weekly interactive live streams
• people get to have interaction, see the faces.
• fan generated / community generated stuff
• focused on doing a lot of community content
• Next Great Starship
• Redeemer (winning ship) added to the SC Fleet
• Recruiting tool for CIG
• a few artists that came from the various people working on next great starship
• committed to doing more of that sort of recruitment, and on bringing in more user content to be official
• here they mention the official trailer, that was inspired by a fan made trailer (years1hundred!)
• do a lot of live events for interaction with the audience
• town halls
• went over details of persistent universe
• office tours
• bespoke events during consumer shows
• citizen con
• bring backers together, do a year in review
• Gamescom in Germany is big
• Pax East is big, should have around 1200 people
• Pax Prime
• SXSW
• Pax Australia, where they unveiled first glimpse of FPS
• community appreciates all of the interaction.
• not something you get in the old school publishing style.
• People travel from all around the globe to meet CIG
• Testing without borders
• lots of games have problems nowadays
• can’t get online at launch
• doesn’t feel like it’s polished, bugs and glitches
• Linux, Firefox, Java, MySQL are all software that focus on constant iteration and an open, collaborative relationship with their users to create a better experience.
• as we make this game, since it’s going to be large and complicated, why don’t we share elements of the game with the backers, so we can make a better, more polished game, when we’re ready to release it in full
• essentially the largest testing team ever assembled in the gaming industry
• hundreds of thousands of people that play early builds of the game
• big publishers still can’t compete with several hundred thousands of people testing.
• seen a lot of games falling apart when they release, this helps stop that.
• the community helps to polish and iterate the features, which allows CIG to advance the game further than Chris could have done with the old model
• best focus group you can get, because these are people that have loved the kind of game enough to give you money.
• helps on the back end and the network side, which is usually a problem when you open the game up live.
• collect a huge amount of metrics from the user base, helps make judgements on balance and playability
• publish without borders
• no physical goods, no geographical borders, no-one taking a bite out of the apple
• steam, itunes, netflix, they’ve all trained consumers that virtual’s more convenient, so why not deliver your game direct? cut out the middle-man
• CIG keep 97 cents of every dollar that’s pledged
• give a little away to paypal or credit cards
• don’t have to deal with foreign distribution or loaded manufacturing costs
• can reach backers all around the world that they wouldn’t normally have been able to reach with the old retail module
• Ship commercials get play on news sites, get shared, gets awareness, brings people in.
• ambition without borders
• how they’ve raised 72 mil so far
• build an ambitious, unparalleled game, based on a new IP, which is huge for this scale of budget, in a genre that most people considered dead, on a platform that most people wrote off, which is PC.
• no-one’s writing off PC anymore
• 72 mil isn’t the most important number though. What numbers do matter?
• over 4.5 million forum posts
• huge amount of community engagement
• 1,767 developer updates
• over 846 days. over 2 updates a day, for over 2 years.
• 469 videos shared
• 181 countries represented by backers
• 26,030 player organizations, the largest has over 10,000 members.
• Imperium
• 745,819 supporters!
• Star Citizen is a community without borders. that’s the secret of the success
• keeps CIG going, and will help them build the best game.
• CIG has shifted the paradigm of funding, development, communication, publishing, and community, to better align with today’s connected, sharing, involved world.
• So can you! (so says CR)
• lots that CIG does in open development and community engagement can be used by anyone, and can benefit anyone.
• Definitely the way a lot of development will happen in the future.
