    Bazgrim...  Thank you for turning me onto this.

     

    For those people who don't really understand what Pantheon, and MMOs in gemeral, means to the guys at VR, and specifically to Brad.  Watch this video from the Kickstarter days.  I dodn't know this video even exsited.

    Agreed. While I wasn't part of the kickstarter funding, that video is great.

    I remember that video. 

     

    It's a little tough because Brad gave some really heartfelt responses but then later "relapsed" to some extent with some very questionable financial decisions that essentially blew up the original Pantheon team.  I kind of lost hope at that point, but it seems like Joppa and the newer guys helped right the ship.  Whatever role Brad has currently, seems to be the best role for him and the project.  It's moving forward and looks promising.

     

    Also, they should try and get Boogie to do some of these streams, he's great.

    Glad you enjoyed. Definitely always worth a re-watch. I originally saw this a few years ago very early on in my Pantheon journey and seeing how much Brad cared and learned from his experience instilled a lot of confidence in me. Nobody's perfect, but the true key to success is acknowledging what went wrong and constantly trying to improve. Brad certainly has that humility and tenacity, which is how I know that he'll always be pushing to make Pantheon the best it can be.

    I would like that too. I know that Brad reached out to him about it several months ago, and Boogie seemed interested, but his audience isn't quite as focused on gaming as much as it used to be. So we'll see, maybe later.

    Brad did 2 interviews with Boogie back round that time.

    Around that time they also did several dev diary and round table videos on Rob and Dan with some prior developers like Vu and Salim. The info is completely irrelevant now, but it does show you how far the game has came.

    I watched that Video when it first came out. I think that's how I learned of Pantheon.

    Watching this video gives me so much respect for Brad. What a light to the MMO genre and community. Thank you for all your sacrifices and the philosophy you bring to everything you touch.
