Who Would You Like to Talk to?

So far we've had some very informative talks with Tim Aste on the Legions team, some members of the Z.A.P. team, the marketing people, and Alex Swanson from Rokkitball.  I'm just curious what kind of conversations would intrigue you guys and maybe someone in particular that you'd like to chat live with.  Leave your ideas and suggestions in the blog post as a comment and hopefully we'll be able to make some dreams come true.

Now, just because you post something doesn't mean we are going to get them and talk about it, but I'm just wondering what might be rolling around in your heads that you'd like to have answered.  Bring the good ideas!

Rokkitball and Alex Swanson chat

Alex Swanson (Designer/Director for Rokkitball) will be the guest of honor in a chat session this Thursday, April 17th, at 3:00pm PST.

Alex has worked on many games at GarageGames and is working on several titles that will appear on InstantAction.  Alex did many of the levels that you see in Marble Blast Online, so you can curse him for those challenging ones.  He has also worked on ThinkTanks as project director for the InstantAction version.  The game that he'll be representing this Thursday, however, is Rokkitball.  Feel free to ask questions about his work history though.

What is Rokkitball?  Well...Rokkitball unites the best qualities of shooters and sports games: precision controls, with strategic team based gameplay - all in the frenetic atmosphere of a futuristic sports arena.

Here are the details so you can get in on the chat

• What?  Rokkitball chat session
• When?  Thursday April 17th, at 3pm PST
• Who?  Alex Swanson
• Why?  Because Rokkitball is a new addition to InstantAction and it's coming soon!

It's Finally Here, Chat with Dylan Romero

Dylan Romero is a man-boy who hails from America's Hat -- Canada.  He has been living among people for the past 24 years and has worked at GarageGames for the past year or so. 

Dylan works on the InstantAction Marketing Team and likes to answer questions related to InstantAction on the Marketing side of things, so now is your time to ask all those questions you've been asking in the previous chats. 

So this Tuesday, April 15th you'll finally get some answers...maybe.  Dylan is very eager to show his face on camera and make his live feed debut supporting InstantAction.  If everything goes well we might be able to do another chat featuring Dylan.

Please keep your questions related to the Marketing side of InstantAction and not geared toward Dylan's personal interests.  No questions about favorite food, or favorite thing to do on a lazy Sunday afternoon.  I've seen some good questions and Dylan should have the chops to give you good answers.

Details:

• When: Tuesday April 15th, at 3pm PST
• Where: I'll have a blog post that you can chat from or you can visit the Ustream page here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/instantaction-live-chat
• Who: Why Dylan Romero of course!
• Why: Because people keep asking Marketing questions to the guys who are developing games.  Now you'll finally get some answers for those questions.

Be there.  I will.
