Hi there Explorers. We're hosting our first-ever Reddit AMA tomorrow on September 10th from 16.00 to 19.00 UTC. Join us over on r/corekeepergame to ask us, the developers, your questions!
What is an AMA?
"AMA" stands for "Ask Me Anything", and a Reddit AMA is basically an informal question-and-answer session that takes place within a specific Reddit thread. We'll be hosting our AMA in the r/corekeepergame subreddit and the relevant thread will appear at the time the AMA starts (that's 16.00 UTC!).
How do I join in?
You'll need a Reddit account to join in and we recommend becoming a member of the r/corekeepergame subreddit by clicking "Join" in the top right-hand side of the subreddit page. The AMA thread will go live at 16.00 UTC and all you have to do to join in is open the thread and post your question in the form of a comment. We'll do our best to get back to you ASAP, but it might take a few minutes if the AMA is particularly busy.
Can I really ask anything?
Just about! You might want to ask us about our experiences developing Core Keeper, the inspiration behind the game, what our favourite biomes are, etc. You could also ask questions about how we got into game development, what other projects we've worked on, or even whether we think pineapple belongs on pizza. We're excited to hear what you come up with, and there's no such thing as a stupid question...but do keep 'em clean, folks.
Who will be participating?
Four of the core (pun intended) development team will be on hand to answer questions. You can expect responses from Fredrik Präntare (Game Director), Sven Thole (Lead Producer), Herman Appelgren (Tech Lead), and Alexander Ma (Gameplay Lead).
Your friendly neighbourhood community manager, Bridie Daniels, will also be on hand to help moderate the AMA (they might also be able to answer community-management related questions if you have any!).
How do I know I'm talking to the actual developers?
We'll make sure to list the usernames of the developers in the AMA thread when it goes live so that you can be sure you're speaking directly to us!
Phew, we think that's everything you need to know for now. If you have any questions...save 'em for the AMA!
