We’re well aware how frustratingly slow of a trickle the information from the Cortex Command development team have been to our fans. It’s time to face it: I don’t have the energy and/or discipline to do a decent job of informing you guys of the awesome stuff going on behind the scenes. After working on a feature all day and night, I simply don’t have it in me to then also write a coherent article about it.
So, I’ve been looking for a solution to this for some time. While at GDC Austin last week, I found it in a gentleman who does this kind of thing professionally. Andy Moore (aka “Weasel”) will be acting as the conduit of information and feedback between us in the dev trenches and the fan/modding community:
Andy next to a lineup of Indie greats: Phil of Fez, Matthew and Shawn of Blurst, Alec of Aquaria,
Kyle of all things Savage, and the Saltsmans of Semi Secret
My fellow indie friends at Wolfire Games have an awesome dedicated PR guy, John Graham, who does just this, and look at how well updated their dev blog is for their super impressive project, Overgrowth! I’m hoping we can, with Andy’s help, approach this level of connection with you guys again.
Without further ado, I’m going to hand it over to Andy now and let him introduce himself in the next post. I will still chime in here in the future, but now you shouldn’t be going long without knowing what’s happening to the project!

Yes, because I’ve never lurked on the board before I joined. Troll me, Data.

I guess it is easier to get connected to the community when it entails less people than you have fingers.
But I kid, I kid. This is a good development.

I thought Overgrowth got ditched, due to the fact that the world simply isn’t ready for an anthropomorphic rabbits without at least doubled D’s.

Lugaru was boss if not entirely frustrating(wolves). And they do have a decent stream of update info going on over there. Hopefully a person dedicated to updating news will give Data a needed break. I think its a great use of my money.

Haha THOR, you put “niggers.com” as your email. Hahaha, that’s hilarious. It’s like we have our own personal Carlos Mencia, complete with not being funny.
Also, Overgrowth would work if they took out all the gore and marketed it to 10-year-old Redwall fans.

Breaking news: THOR shows his QQing nature in a PM, tries to reflect the blame for casual racism back on others.

Excuse me, but what did I ever do to bother you? Your personal attacks on the development weblog are completely unnecessary. -
Gotcha! -

Data tells nothing new here, unfortunately, but I’m glad that at least someone will try to fill that gaping hole.
If Data can’t be there for his fans then hopefully you can.
Good luck, Andy. -

This gives me a reason to visit the site, besides because it has the link to the forum.

@footkerchief
I’m sorry. I know I can be rude sometimes, but I just get so lonely. It’s not easy, you know. I see all these hurtful messages and I feel like the only way to respond is with cutting remarks. Please forgive me, this devlog is all I have… -

Hey, that’s the Alamo Draft House! I love that place, go there all the time. Austin kicks ass, I’m guessing you had a good time.

I know where that is in the picture, I’ve been there. Alamo Draft House, awesome movie theater. 😀 Hooray Austin!
Anyway, that’s pretty cool and weird at the same time…
