Video Update Ahoy
For reals, people! With voice and everything! -- 17 May 2015
Hey there everyone!
As a bit of a change I've recorded a video update this month. I recorded it last night whilst on Twitch (which is, to be honest, the easiest way to record a video).

Comments and so on are welcome on either the KS update page, the blog page on the EliteRPG site or the YouTube comments on the video.
Thanks.

The Great Experiment
Sometimes you just have to break those apron strings -- 04 Apr 2015 -- Comments: 3
Hey everyone, and welcome to the March-April update for Elite Encounters.
I know, this is technically a late update, but I decided to wait until the start of the month and get these updats back to the original schedule. So now the monthly update will be back at the start of the month where it belongs.
Lots to cover in this update, so without further preamble, here we go!
Progress and Playtesting
The last month and a half have been a rollercoaster of rewrites. Firstly, following on ... Read MoreCategories Kickstarter
Ratio of Steps Forward to Backward
Usually when I run the scenery changes... -- 23 Feb 2015
Hi everyone. Apologies for the lateness of this update. It's been an up and down month, to be honest.
I'm going to keep this one brief, because once again the day has flashed past in a blur of stuff to do. I'm only including an RPG progress report as well as a couple of notes about upcoming events.
Progress
This last 40 days has seen a lot of work for what might on the surface be very little progress. Most significantly, Mid to late January saw some actual testing feedback come ... Read More

Happy New Year! 2015 Ahoy
Another year over, a new one just begun -- 02 Jan 2015
Hi everyone and welcome to the first update of 2015.
I've decided to do something a little different this month, and have compiled for your viewing pleasure a video update. Obviously the RPG development isn't something that lends itself well to a video update (unless you like watching someone type or seeing screenshots or Word) so the narrative of the update takes place over a streamed video from Elite Dangerous, the computer game that (as you all know) the RPG is based on.
You can ... Read More

Countdown Commence
Fire one! -- 16 Dec 2014
Hi everyone, and welcome to the last update of 2014.
Not only is this the last update of 2014, it's the last update before the full release of our parent product Elite Dangerous. For this update I thought I would do something a little different and showcase the home system designed specifically for the RPG and named by top pledger Truls Bjorvik.
First, a progress update. The run up to Christmas is always a busy one for the project and for real life stuff too, so the writing tends to suffer ... Read MoreCategories Kickstarter
Elite Dangerous Launch Event Report
The game's afoot! -- 24 Nov 2014 -- Comments: 3
It's going to be a brief one, people, apologies. It's not a Kickstarter update, although I will be sending out a notification via KS.
22-11-14
Yes, Saturday 11th November was the OFFICIAL LAUNCH of Elite Dangerous: a media extravaganza to which I was lucky enough to have an invitation to, thanks to the generosity of the RPG backers. In deference to the fact that it was the RPG that allowed me to attend, I made sure I had a stand at the event where I could show the banners, give out ... Read More

November Update
It's official - I've ran out of ideas for post titles... -- 18 Nov 2014
Firstly, apologies for the late update. The turn of the month was a difficult one, with many things outside the insular reality of the Elite RPG all coming to a head at roughly the same time. Suffice to say that my attention has not really been on the project for about half of the last six-week period, and for that I apologise. Progress is slow, but still moves forward.
So what has actually been achieved this last month? Well, the concept for the spacecraft and related equipment section has ... Read More

30th Anniversary Live Online Session - Part 2
Where our heroes continue to kick ass and forget to take names... -- 08 Oct 2014
Just a quick reminder to everyone.
Sunday, 11am BST, myself, Dan Grubb, James Vigor, Ben Mos-Woodward and Anthony Olver will be continuing the 30th Anniversary RPG session.
We only managed to get two thirds of the way through the story the other weekend, and we left our heroes in the middle of a firefight.
We'll be on twitch.tv/onevigor from 11am and playing until the adventure is DONE! Which shouldn't be too long.
Hope to see you there!
Dave
P.S. Quick progress report: have spent ... Read More

The Nights Grow Dark
And the days grow short... -- 30 Sep 2014
Hello everyone and welcome to the October Update.
It's been a busy month for a variety of reasons, and this update will highlight a bit of a patchwork month as far as progress goes.
Progress
Since I've mentioned the progress, I'll deal with that first. Progress is a stop-start, halting kind of thing at the moment. The major things are done, and now I'l filling in the blanks I've left throughout the manuscript where I've either ran out of ideas for something or have ... Read More
