What are some things about Star Citizen that has drawn yourself and so many other talented people to the Frankfurt studio to work on this project? From your perspective as a studio lead, has the crowdfunded model been a hurdle to overcome in regards to head hunting talent?asked by Sao Saoldian

First of all it will sound like a fluff piece but it's not. So honestly having doing this for quite a while the ambition behind this project and the commitment behind all the senior staff, Chris and Erin and the whole team, what they are able to pull together with the community. And also them wanting ... pushing boundaries technically on design, forging some new ground in my opinion, and others, is really what pulled us here to take a look and 18 months later here we are still working and pushing on things.In regards to the crowdfunding, honestly I don't think it has hurt at all. It's actually ... it gets us noticed from time to time obviously from the amount that we've crowdfunded and that draws people's attention. Which is great: it gives us a little bit more exposure and people know who we are. I do get question occasionally from candidates in regards to crowdfunding and what does that mean and the finances and so on. And I take the time to explain the detail of what we are doing day to day, month to month, midterm, long term, etc. So at most I would say it impacts is they want to know that things are secure if they are going to join us as a team ... because it's ... for these guys here we're hiring guys that are experienced and do this for a living so their career per se.
