Hey guys, just wanted to say hello and mark how excited I am to play this. I don't typically do forums but I had to make an exception here, especially considering how small the community appears to be (for now).

The first thing I thought of when I saw the pitch for this game was that it sounds like what happens after your ship crash-lands on random Planet X in FTL. It sounds awesome. And for someone who is new to streaming, I like that I can actually look forward to streaming something new for once. I know it's probably a couple months out, but I'm definitely getting ready. Might have to make an FTL crew mysteriously disappear...

So is anyone else going to be streaming this? What's your take? How attached are you and your viewers going to become to each crew member? What T.V. show crew are they going to be named after? Haha. Always loved naming mine after Ron Swanson & friends.

No need to wait that long. Hells, I can give you the game as it stands now.

How about I do that when the Kickstarter opens? Maybe some of your viewers would be interested in contributing and getting the game for themselves. If I forget please tweet or email me ([email protected]). Shouldn't be long from now.

And welcome to the forums! You've definitely got one of the best introduction posts so far, that I'll definitely say.

I'll definitely throw down in your kickstarter and would be more than happy to help you drum up interest for this game. I just have to warn you - I am a very small time streamer and I have zero experience fielding fresh-off-the-press games. But I'd love to be a contributing member and try to spread the good word.

For both testing AND entertainment purposes I can either produce high resolution videos on youtube or stream via my twitch channel at 320p. I'd definitely like to do some of both given the chance. Apart from my job, I've got nothing but time, so let's make it happen.

And I'm glad you liked the story. Haha. I haven't told that one to the internet before, but it was the only thing I could think of that was slightly gaming-related. Pumped about the game, and I think it's wicked awesome that you are so active with this community. Thanks for both!

You're just giving the game out? And here I thought you had handpicked testers.  :)

"Handpicked" in that those were the first eight or ten people who wanted to help test :)

Its just a matter of time before he
A) Accepts more testers
B) Opens the kickstarter with early access
C) Meteors rain down and destroy us all

I would definitely love to stream/record but alas I have no community. Want to get started doing something just need the time ;D

Just about flipped a table on that one... >.>

Edit: Let me clarify; table flips of jealousy, not rage...

Sorry! Maybe I need a "policy" about press access or something... So businesslike around here.

Pffft. You are a business cat now, dog! But keep in mind, that ANYONE who plays this game is press, not just people who have followings.

Bingo. It's mutually beneficial. I'll likely get a lot more viewers/subscribers and he'll receive free press.

I like how a single video with mass exposure can make a game thousands of pounds, the Internet is a magnificent beast.

Video I threw together with an interesting event in Skyrim: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akas6EtNlqk

I'm hesitant to post this here because I don't want it to seem like I'm trying to plug my channel or anything, but I wanted to provide an example of something I've done.

Basically, I'll be trying to work with whatever in-game footage and events Rimworld provides to try and create an interesting video. Ordered an ACTUAL microphone on Amazon so hopefully I can throw in some voiceovers as well to spice things up. But yeah, I'm all about the stories told through games. It's going to be challenging to create a compelling story (to an outside audience) given the nature of the graphics with Rimworld, but I think I'm up to it.
