    Great Q&A! Looking forward to next.

    Cory's reveal of the EXO concept art was awesome!

    blood splatter seems silly considering the marines literally evaporate into thin air. the decaying alien corpses are great but i still can't get behind the same idea for humans. i understand not wanting to go the gore route but even having marines sink into a small pool of blood in the ground where they died would bring back the sense that they are indeed people. not to mention revive some of the game's grittiness.

    Absolutely. I hope the devs were just happy to show off their new pretty graphics. As pretty as it is, it doesn't fit in. A minor blood decal and fading corpses would be better.

    BTW, I wonder how hard it would be for talented people to make a gore mod... A classy gore mod. :)

    Have the blood splatters undergo the same nanites-phase-back-to-nanite-pool effect as the bodies....

    Thanks for that.

    There's only one problem with any video ever made by UWE:
    Cory and Charlie talk very quiet and everybody else louder.
    Would you mind using one mic per person and adjust the volumes? Sounds like you are using the cam-built-in one.
    Having a, let's say, handheld mic would make perfect adjusting possible..

    Which will be a great complaint to have!


    Hugh, your timezone math is wrong. 11:30 PST is 18:30 GMT. Remember that during the summer Greenwich is not in GMT. Stupid daylight savings time...

    I guess it's a personal preference I've mentioned a million times by now, but I'd really like to see some heavier content. Less time spent joking about the exo concept art, more talk about how the game is actually going, how are things going to get fixed, what kind of things are going to stay and what are going to change and so on.

    *Pushed from unofficial thread*

    Definitely +1 for the customizable texture for teams.

    Awesome answers, I really enjoyed the artist side questions. Completely missed the feed as I had a meeting to go to, but I have a question I really wanted to ask:
    Are there any plans to have background Kharaan Structures? Meaning the maps are all Marine (human) structures and the infestation will grow over them, but in the end everything is just covered in green slime. Are there plans to have any sort of 'pretty only' structures or props that naturally grow in maps, which don't provide any abilities?

    Really liked hearing about the possibility of NS3, just that you guys have plans on continuing beyond NS2.
    Thanks for doing this Q&A sessions - great idea, can't wait to see more.

    I for one enjoy the joking, it's great. strayan staring directly at the camera near the start was probably unintentionally hilarious to me, I felt like he was staring in to my soul when I had the video fullscreened.

    And since it's daylight savings time, it would actually be called PDT. PST would be 10:30. :P

    I recommend using Wolfram Alpha to do time zones in the future.

    This is what you get when an Australian is employed for this kind of thing - back home there were two times, light and dark.
