Adventures are just getting started on the ground in Austin! This morning we visited the solemn grounds where the former Origin Systems Inc building is located, and the team is currently working late into the night on future CIC updates. We also took a break to check out Robocop with in-theater pyrotechnics with the awesome Pix of Pix's Origin Adventures (be sure to check out his website!). The first picture below was taken in early 2004 just before Origin closed down, and the other two shots are from today.
Also, here's a big shout out to the CIC staff members who couldn't be here but are hard at work around the globe!
Are you attending the RSI Live Event at GDC Austin? You'll need to present a Golden Ticket, which can be obtained at the Roberts Space Industries website. Be sure to get it by Wednesday. The ticket will also provide in-game perks in the future!
Wednesday, October 10, 9AM - 10AM
Location: Ballroom D, Austin Convention Center
Chris Roberts, who helped define the space combat/trading genre in the 1990s with Wing Commander and Privateer is making his return to gaming with the announcement of an exciting new project at GDC Online. For PC Gamers, Chris Roberts and computer games are synonymous with quality and premium content. And this new venture will be no different. At GDC, Chris will demo a prototype of the new game and show off what it will be like to jump into the cockpit of the hottest looking new space fighter in the galaxy. Gaining entry to this event is easy. Just show your GDC Online badge or produce a Golden Ticket from Roberts Space Industries. You can find one at www.robertsspaceindustries.com.
