3. 00:01:46

   game as possible but I tweak them ever so slightly trying to make them pop I try to make them interesting to both uh longtime backers and people who aren't familiar with the game um try to show stuff that maybe longtime backers have seen before or show it in a different way just try to make it interesting uh things like that do you have any advice for other players looking to make their own screenshots and videos uh you got to take a lot of them um you don't have to have the most powerful gaming rig on the planet mine mine is actually five or six years old now um you just need a a knack for taking them an I um I'm a graphic designer so I I have all that schooling and composition and Framing and all that kind of stuff but you just same with

4. 00:02:33

5. 00:03:20

   publishing and Studio director for Austin John kin John how are you doing I'm great fantastic now how well do you think you're going to do today I think I'll do pretty good I hear the competition is tough but I think he'll do pretty good you're going up against Brian Chambers I believe with 16 answers I heard he set the bar pretty high all right well let's get started 2 minutes on the clock starting now what is your name and what do you do at cig I'm John ersin I'm a head of publishing for the company and how long have you been in the game industry since 1998 will we have support for languages other than English yes we will tell us one thing you were excited about in regards to Spectrum that people don't know about yet hm good question at GDC our team had a meeting at twitch HQ to meet with some of their folks and see their road map uh development road map

6. 00:04:08

   for the rest of the year and we had some really cool conversations with them to talk about how we could integrate twitch and Spectrum in some pretty cool ways I think it's going to be exciting that's very exciting now what does the eggplant emoji mean to you o pass what is your favorite ship the M50 will publishing ever expand outside of the ATX office yes and in fact today we have publishing in uh Austin Manchester and Montreal already and we'll expand even further than that in the future Okay now what's something you're especially excited about on the platform road map there's a lot of things but the new launcher and patcher that we've been developing it's been in development for quite a while is going to be pretty cool it'll make it

7. 00:04:55

   easier to download and Patch the game and uh with the new launcher we'll be able to integrate spectrum and add even cooler functionality there all right and how strategic is Spectrum to the overall platform and Publishing operations for cig it's super strategic uh you probably saw some of the videos where we talked about it but initially we envisioned it as a chat platform and a communication platform and now we're really envisioning it as your connection to the game whether you're in the game or out of the game or at work or on your phone or whatever so strategically its importance is Major all right and and you're imp on the publishing and devop side of things what are you most looking forward to that is currently being worked on H probably stuff that nobody else cares about but some cool stuff on the logging and tools development side we're done we're out of
