Tried it once, didn't work out. In retrospect the reason it didn't work out is because in my head it all had to be perfected and scripted and that isn't how life works. These wouldn't have set dates or anything, I'd likely just give a few hours advance notice and put a link up like Spazzy does with his events or Rimworld streams or whatnot.
So yeah, please let me know if anyone is actually interested in me taking a crack at this again.
What exactly are you going to do in these? Show how you do things or are you going to discuss changes with people to hear opinions? I don't really understand the format this is going to have.
I'm not opposed to anything as long as people don't start begging me to leak stuff or start brown nosing. That'll get you shut down faster than you can say Tangier.
Mostly what I want to do though is show people what goes on behind the scenes, what goes into making a model or a system or a whatever, the general workflow, et cetera. Discussing would need to be centered around what features we're working on, things we'd like to see, so on and so forth. Having community input is great and I can't tell anyone to shut up, but the simple fact is that this is a community with a lot of very vocal people with not very cohesive opinions. It's pretty hard to pull together anything useful out of that, and at the end of the day you've really got to cherrypick what fits in best with your mission goal as a developer.
What is our mission goal? Well, the sad fact is we don't have one. I've got my own ethos, and the old stuff I wrote out for Neo Terra back in the day, but I think the devteam would benefit hugely from a mission statement clarifying their positions on things.
But hey, tangents are bad. I should probably shut up.
I vote yes. I think an insight as to what goes on behind the scenes would be great and might give some of the people that don't really comprehend the amount of work that goes into this sort of thing an idea of how much you guys really do...,FOR FREE!

I kinda doubt my roommate would be up for that, but I mean, whatever pays the bills right?
