What do you plan on doing after this amazing title is complete? Is there a certain role you're looking forward to playing in the game?
TL;DRThe speakers answer personally: one jokes about retiring, one likes the idea of being an info runner, and one expects to keep working on the games and hopes to make linear in-game content.
I'm going to settle down somewhere in North America and stay out of history's way.
That's the First Contact answer. What about you, Jake Ross?
I've mentioned this a couple times, but my favorite ship that we've designed, concepted out, is the Herald. And for some reason the prospect of being an info runner is kind of cool to me. Like you've got some secret intel and you've got to get it somewhere before pirates catch up with you, or actually you're probably a pirate at that point, so the authorities are catching up with you. That I think would be really cool, and I think we could have some really interesting missions around that gameplay.
I look at it, there's Squadron 42, and then there's Star Citizen, and then there's Squadron 42-2, and then there's whatever expansion for Star Citizen, and then there's Squadron 42-3, so this is just like a never-ending cycle. I expect to be doing this for a long, long time. And then eventually, I'm sure we'll do anthology stories. Now, once the game's out, I probably look forward to creating some linear content. Stuff that you would view inside the game, kind of like broadcasts. I hope to be able to get into some of that.
