Hello everyone!

I'm excited to announce that I will be doing a live question-and-answer session prior to this weekend's Grand Championship. Think of it as kind of like the #ask-walt channel on Discord, but you'll actually get to hear me ramble on in person! 😃

IVIemories will be moderating and asking me your questions. Preference will be given to questions asked during the stream, but you can also submit questions beforehand by replying to this thread and we'll try to get to them if we have time!

The Q&A will start at 7pm UTC, an hour before the Championship starts. You can watch on the Official Cosmoteer PvP YouTube Channel.

See you then!

(imagining if there arent much people)

    CATMASTER IVIemories has plenty of backup questions to ask if we don't get enough questions from the viewers.

      wow! can't wait

        Walt I have some questions.

        1. Would you be open to implementing lore into the game? Like if you hover over an enemy ship or click on it a text box could pop up and give you a description of the ship and how it's used. These descriptions could be used to tell a more overarching story about a particular faction or event.

        2. Will player submitted ships become more common once factions and different themes of ships are introduced? Or will you continue to do most of the designs yourself?

        3. Is there any estimate on when manual WASD controls will be implemented or released in a prototype?

        Thank you for continually supporting this game and listening to player feedback!

            Cosmic_Horror please reply to me, I'm the one asking the questions dammit

                IVIemories My apologies great asker of questions. Forgive my curious soul.

                    Cosmic_Horror YEAH, AND YOU KNOW IT.

                    In all seriousness though, I highly recommend you ask your questions in stream chat if possible because both of us would much rather answer questions to people who are listening

                        IVIemories it can be difficult for me to attend these events but I'll try and make sure I'm free this Saturday morning. If I can't catch it live I'll definitely watch the event later whenever I'm free.

                            Excuse me, pardon, i have a question. Due to me not having discord, is there any other way to view the tournament? Through YouTube possibly?

                              Timmy it's being livestreamed on youtube (see youtube link posted in this thread)

                                IVIemories oh thank you!
