I think it would be very hard for anyone interested in simulation games not to buy this.

some nice dinosaur footage here

[m4ybe] 07/10/2017 19:25

Watched the reveals today on the YouTube livestream. The main surprise is the realism of the actual in game graphics and animations for the dinosaurs in JWE. Very impressive and super high detailed, just hope they don't need high spec computers reducing audience as with PC. There are bound to be YouTubes of this going around soon.

PC: Major gameplay (scenario designer) update, allowing people to create more different or difficult business environments, and also some more minor stuff like water rides and facilities.

The business model for ED seems to be that all the new stuff will be for Horizons Pack owners only, so they might push more people to buy that second product. Big release for this Q1 (after the current 2.4 updates in coming weeks), and then even bigger in Q4 2018.

Most important I think the google trend for JWE has moved up intraday, so far half as high as the big launch day a couple of months ago. Remains to be seen whether this time it will sustain with the video clips being passed around. If so there could be more interest and another run up of the equity, we'll see. Currently I'm not sure about the technicals but there might be some strength from the publicity today, especially those JWE video clips making the game a bit more real and known entity.

It's the Frontier Expo this coming weekend at the Olympic Park in London. It'll be interesting to see what they have planned for their games and the first in game footage of Jurassic World hopefully.

Amen to that Panic Investor..

And back to a nice quiet board :-)

[mad foetus] 29/9/2017 15:21

And I think a lot of new holders at this level following the recent placement and the shaking out of the golden delicious eaters. Onwards and upwards!

[nimbo1] 29/9/2017 15:19

straight back to 11 squid + by the looks of things

[mad foetus] 29/9/2017 15:00

Looking like a perky Friday afternoon.

[nimbo1] 28/9/2017 11:27

nice to see this looking a bit more lively.

Some nice feedback on the planet coaster spooky pack...hTTp://store.steampowered.com/app/710490/Planet_Coaster__Spooky_Pack/

[adamb1978] 26/9/2017 15:27

Very positive sign that the CFO is buying shares. I haven't checked but his salary probably isn't crazy and you'd expect him to be the most prudent of the Ds....

FDEV's press release yesterday for the release of the PC Spooky Pack FYI:

Thanka for the correction. My bad.

[mark4231] 26/9/2017 11:35

2000 shares that cost about £20000.

[ashehzi] 26/9/2017 10:41

2000. Not 20000.

[mark4231] 26/9/2017 10:40

Nice couple of tweets from David Braben.



"#EliteDangerous The Return... due tomorrow!"



"#PlanetCoaster Spooky Pack entered the Steam charts today at #1 in 'New and Trending' & #9 in 'Global Top Sellers'. Well done to the team!"

I had assumed that DLC would just be bringing in some pin money, but maybe it is a much better source of income for them than that. Would help smooth out some of the release lumpiness. Also, this brings them a bit of publicity which might bring in completely new players for the game.

Impressive to see a CFO buying £20,000 of shares at 978p.

The CFO is normally by far the lowest-paid exec director - and the most prudent in spending their money (I should know, I used to be one!). So it's pretty encouraging to see this at these relatively new levels.

[rjetrades] 26/9/2017 09:20

Company CFO buying more shares. Can only be a positive!

[runthejoules] 26/9/2017 09:19

Hey big spender! A whole almost £20k director buy. I'm neither overwhelmed or underwhelmed but it's better than a sell.
