Wife and I had a lot of fun at our first CitCon. We got to meet a lot of awesome people in the community. Good job and great work CIG and citizens at the conference. One of the best and most organized gaming conferences I've been to.
@@razzledazzlecheeseontoast9808 That should've been 1:1 scale. The ships in game had to be unrealistically scaled to be larger than they were supposed to be, because of collision issues, as we have ship interiors, unlike other games.
just gotta say to all you devs who get up on stage, bravo! it's not easy, it's actually a skill to do it well, (i work behind the camera) so totally appreciate seeing people who makes games and are not the natural sort of person to do that, get up on stage in front of that many people and be able to conduct yourselves so well! amazing effort.
Congrats to all the people who put in untold amounts of work to pull CitizenCon 2954 together! You all did an amazing job and the entire convention was top notch.
@@sirrebelpaulc3439 Fair comment. Though to be clear, the money for the event comes from sponsors and tickets only, they have been very clear about it from the start. And one could add that, as a community-based project, community events are actually necessary to "make the game". But I get what you meant - we all want the game sooner rather than later, the devs maybe even more than players actually. These events that bring both together are nice to remember that as well.
@@depwise1154 Fair point. If these events prove to be necessary for development and promotion then only time will tell, but they've done these events every year, they advertise events as if theres dozens of ships on screen with smooth framerates, but when new backers jump in they feel duped. I feel like these events are money and effort spent on disapppointing new and old backers alike. I'm speaking as a backer since 2015 who have got 4 other friends to play, and we all feel duped.
@@sirrebelpaulc3439 It's a rocky ride, for sure, there's no denying that. And I fully admit i'd rather have more details on technicalities, why things are longer, more difficult, and how they progress, than too much celebration of future tech when actual tech feel unstable. Explaining why this unstability is "normal" in their process and what they do to tackle it is not central enough in their communication. So I'd say I stand in between. I'm glad they do these sort of events, but I'd like it to cater more to player's issues and doubts, then to only bet on hype. Been there sine 2012, still hoping for the best, and really hoping server meshing will help bring the stability we badly need - among other optimization. If it works out, these will only have been the darkest times of the storm, before finally having some clear skies - I hope you and your friends will get to enjoy it in the end !
I can't be the only one constantly scanning the video to try and find myself there, right? Cause I finally did! It was a pleasure being there and I can't wait to try and come back again.
I remember how Star Trek fans started having conventions back in the day. I really think Chris Roberts has tapped into the void where we sci-fi fans have been desperately waiting for a game to fulfill the needs of the science fiction community.
Wasn't there, but it was so fun to follow along and discover what amazing stuff that is coming! Thanks for keeping shaping our dream game. I can't wait for Castra, and in particular Sherman!
it was an awesome trip visiting the UK for CitizenCon, and the event itself was amazing. i also liked the bar citizen events, amazing how many people we actually ended up being.. I could definitely see myself showing up for the next one.
Citcon was an absolute blast, and those engine tests literally shook you to your core and was amazing to see in person. Thank you both CIG and Mangostone for an amazing experience seeing one of my favourite ships come to life.
Loved this years Citizencon. it really felt like a very special place. Star Citizen is one of those one time events, like the invention of the light bulb. We will never see a project like this again and if they can pull it out of the bag (i play it every day already and love it) we won't need another one. :)
Couldn't make it so watched it at home me and my mate and a big TV and big PMC studio monitors and a barrel of Stella. Perfect. One bit of constructive criticism, the audience was not Mic'd up properly, during the presentations we couldnt hear the whoops and cheers (on Twitch anyway) this made the audience sound really quiet/unimpressed when this video shows it was not quiet at all and everyone was cheering and impressed. Have a word with the sound guys and work on that for the next one!! I'll make the next UK one no matter what :D
what a nice recap, and good token to remember that time i was interview in another language XDDD mates are already making fun of my " i came for the game..." Manchester was such a blast!
When me and a few mates saw him after the first day late into the night, he was stood waiting for a taxi and he looked knackered bless him. The man probably didn't stop for the week of citizen con.
What I thought of the presentation on the second day, everything was fine, except for the construction of ships, it will remove the symbolism that a Ferrari causes in real life, apart from the implications in relation to various things, like: - why should a manufacturer like aegis have to spend millions on its own shipyards to build an idris, if i can do it at my base and 5x better. - what's the manufacturer going to live on if the home-built ships are built from various npcs or guilds at random? - where is the lore of these ships, why was the cutlass red being sold in a store at the time that 36 of them were used for a large scale rescue if everyone can make it at home. - and if the 600i made in the backyard was made with second-rate materials, and the ship disintegrated on take-off, what about the morale of the origin? If the ship has their logo on it and it's a 600i model, that's exactly why ferrari doesn't allow you to tamper with their cars - it ends up more cartoonish than NMS, because they build vehicles and ships there, but they're bluprint's own, not just any ships you see flying around in the sky.
I was sitting in row 4 for most of this, and watching it all again almost made me emotional. The show was great, but meeting in real life the people I have known for years as voices and nicknames only, was better.
@@thePrisoner1000 OK, Montreal could be a possibility. I forgot about them. But this far, they always took turns between the EU and the US, and since LA was last year and the UK was this year, Austin would be on the schedule.
@@ADMNtek I do agree, Austin most likely, the only thing might be a venue for Austin. I've heard that that they are re-modeling the convention center and it may not be done in time.
What do I think about the most important announcement for Star Citizen 1.0? - you cheaped out on us, but you couldn't do it during the CitizenCon announcement, you had to do it in the comments section of Spectrum. A game of ships and exploration with no NPC crew is not what was always discussed by anyone, let alone Chris.
No one expected NPC crew, they always talked about ai blades. NPC crew doesn't even make sense in a MMO, if you want a single player Star Citizen, then go play X4.
@@thumpertron it makes sense because it was supposed to be a "game for everyone". I guess we finally are reveal thats just a stupid idea to begin with. Still, NPC crew was planned. You want to tell CIG that it didnt make sense? What does that make them?
@@TorianArmrag Are you expecting 1.0 within the next 2 years? That means it will have taken at least 14 years, and that's an optimistic estimate. 3 of the '5 at launch' star systems have been work in progress for at least 4 - 9 years, and they can only commit to two more in the next 2 - 3 years years?
What I find intersting is that a company with $750 Million in public funding plus additional undisclosed private investors charging $250 per ticket to attendees somehow needs volunteers.
Not a good look to give us the only ISC before it's just commercials for ships during IAE to be Citizencon again. Should have dived into some info that just wasn't addressed at all during the show...like what Nyx even is, why no planets were shown, or why nothing about it has been expounded upon now that we've had Pyro in testing for months. We need a clear next goal, not 1.0 where it could be 1 year or 5 from now...what is NEXT. Pyro was NEXT for 4 years, and we need something else to look forward to now that Pyro is in the game and it's...well...a handful of new building assets scattered around some planets and some copypasta space station, including the only LZ. Would really like to see an ISC soon on planettech Genesis and what we can expect with Nyx...is it in this new framework? Or are we having to wait till Castra to get anything from this but hopefully weather? Is ArcCorp getting redone or are we just getting some interiors?
This didn’t top last year. Last year you told us what we were getting over the next 12 months and even if you didn’t make it in everything that was exciting. This year you told us Squadron is two years out for the 8th time. Woo…
You know, I think another source of revenue for you guys could be star citizen, cinematic universe you could make movies or a TV show about squadron 42 and I guarantee there would be millions of people that would watch it because the demo of squadron 42 was that amazing
BUT WHAT DID WE LEARN THIS WEEK, JARED!?!?
fr
Not to roll on the stage! and to stretch.
Today you learned to embrace the intrusive thoughts and buy a $2,500 rat fursuit
My week is empty without a lesson from Jared...
What I learned is that the attachment of the weapons on the hornet are WAY too flimsy to really support them during combat
The terminals at the convention center worked better than the ones in-game.
Same for the elevators.
They were running on a really time-tested game engine.
@@Dowlphin Yeah, this "reality" engine has its downsides, but the stability is second to none.
@@PterAntlo Someone really needs to work on the contract payouts, though. Reality Engine has a terrible dynamic economy.
I guess i've been playing it wrong all this time. gonna start playing it real life.
I made it into an Inside Star Citizen video... WOOOO!
Wife and I had a lot of fun at our first CitCon. We got to meet a lot of awesome people in the community. Good job and great work CIG and citizens at the conference. One of the best and most organized gaming conferences I've been to.
It was a great show. Jared we love you welcome back.
Okay, but we ALL have to agree that that LIFE SIZE HORNET IS SO SICK
It was only ⅔ scale, and still the size of an f16 😅
@@razzledazzlecheeseontoast9808 That should've been 1:1 scale. The ships in game had to be unrealistically scaled to be larger than they were supposed to be, because of collision issues, as we have ship interiors, unlike other games.
Jared rolling across the stage to move the Benny's machine brought back so many memories. Hilarious physical comedy there, Jared! o7

Would prefer that money and effort going towards actually making the game.

this video is so well put together. awesome to see the community and the team all together yo
Props to the editor!
I can't be the only one constantly scanning the video to try and find myself there, right? Cause I finally did! It was a pleasure being there and I can't wait to try and come back again.
So cool, thank you to everybody who worked so hard to bring us a great CitizenCon!
sup farrister
Second that!
you are an accomplice of cig, I see it in your videos. Same what bored and others
@spaceman2137 an accomplice?
Accomplice? Lol

Was thinking the same
Sure it is 😊
"I came for the game, but I stayed for the community"
So crazy spotting myself in the (amazing) BTS crew!! Never expected to be on an episode of ISC 🥰
Boyyyyyy we really crushed that swag bag line
🪿
@@razzledazzlecheeseontoast9808 we did!! 😊
It looks like a lot of fun and hard work to put an event like that together. Thanks for doing it!
Thank you for a great couple of days! Awesome experience!
ONE POINT OH MY! Look forward to volunteering every year and work with such an epic team! So many years but passion just keeps growing!
that was indeed an awsome event!! the amount of reveals and the quality of the presentations was top tier!
Not a mention of the ATMO event after which was a great meet and greet for a-lot of ppl!!! Great citcon thou - our team had a great time!
Always love seeing the faces behind the game, happy and proud go show off what they've done.
10:42 beautiful 😂 good on ya
Thank you CIG for all the hard work! 1.0 sounds very exciting and SQ42 looked absolutely amazing so far!
Fantastic work guys! Thank you for another breathtaking Citcon. Looking forward to seing it all in game!
Thanks for such a great Citizencon!

Was my first and it was a blast - even if we wait a long time for what we saw. The ppl there were just awesome!
Awesome work guys, cant wait to see it grow!
They forgot to show the deafening silence after 2026 dropped 😅
Loved this years Citizencon. it really felt like a very special place. Star Citizen is one of those one time events, like the invention of the light bulb. We will never see a project like this again and if they can pull it out of the bag (i play it every day already and love it) we won't need another one. :)
Well done CIG...thanks for all the hard work!
I love these behind-the-scenes sneak peeks! It was awesome. Let's do it again! Lol.
Welcome back had a Blast at CitCon even spotted myself at 9:48..Good Times can't wait for next year!
Great event! Looks so fun! The full sized space ship model was an epic touch!
It was an amazing time in Manchester, we will be back at next CitizenCon! 💚
It make me a bit emotional so see how happy the devs are by giving us this bomb of a CitizenCon ❤. Thank you CIG to make and give us this Game
Welcome back, we’ve missed you.
"how are we ever going to top this?" maybe release the game
How do you release a game with brand new tech that's never been created before on a scale that's never been created for? You build it first!
@@truther6616and you clearly build that by building a life size art model of a ship...
That would truly top this.
@@CocainasBrokeBrainThey can use my event ticket money for whatever they like...its in the small print if you can read that is.
Also people : "the game came out early, wtf it's broken"
got to drink myself silly and get lost inside star citizen, one of the best weekends of my life, thank you CIG o7
CitCon the time of year where disco gets all his wiggles out.
This Citcon was the first one I've seen and it was amazing!
very excited for the real return next week.
next hiatus is in 2 weeks !
The "Guten Tag" Citien Con was on point!
MUCH LOVE to all the devs and everyone that worked on this now lets bring it in game
So excited to see the behind the scenes

Was a great event, thank you!
Jared pulled a hammy!
thank you guys ! thank you ^^
The maple syrup on the desk killed me 😂
I can't wait for all the new features, maps, and everything coming up to make and record gameplays for my channel!
Amazing
I don't care about all the endlessly negative comments. This was cool to watch
Great show gents you did amazing!
what a nice recap, and good token to remember that time i was interview in another language XDDD mates are already making fun of my " i came for the game..." Manchester was such a blast!
Everytime I see someone wearing an RSI shirt, I remember when I enter my ship, and it says: "Roberts Space Industries... All Systems On."
I'm in the video! That is awesome!!
You must be knackered after all that. Well done ❤
Can't wait for the next one! :)
Had so much fun seeing you all and being there! Can't wait to go back next year!
it was my first in person Citizencon, and i loved it, i think the only gripe i had was the queue to the merch store, my god.
Im sure the effort to pull off a show like that is immense. I've never gotten the chance to go personally.
Benoit with the Canadian maple syrup can on his desk... XD
Think he'll pull a hammy next year? :P Outstanding work, Jared and Co. :)
Hope not! He said it turned out to be a torn calf muscle on his social media.
When me and a few mates saw him after the first day late into the night, he was stood waiting for a taxi and he looked knackered bless him.
The man probably didn't stop for the week of citizen con.
I really didn’t think it would top last year’s but amazingly it did 👍
This should just be a special episode.
For those who went, didn't feel like they are just trying to keep the money flowing or did you get the feeling they are going to deliver
"Show" is the word. What a nice "show".
