Farewell Manchester! Been an amazing experience, Seeing The studio, Mocap building, all the workspaces and offices. Getting to Meet Chris and Sandi, John, Ian! getting to have Ali G look at me like im insane , John Crewe, Benoit, Sean, finally getting to Meet the wildly talented Geoff for the first time and everyone else since I backed in October of 2012. Getting to talk them one on one and what felt like peer level was surreal and they are such amazing, passionate and genuine people, Chris can geek out with the best of em and Sandi is such a wonderful person. Couldn't have asked for better first Official cig event than this! Thank you to everyone who made it happen and brought this amazing group of people, many of which at this point are basically family at this point together! Ulf, TO, Freya you guys are legends for always looking out for the community. (@ExpatBrat_ and @iamyoyomeg) Was amazing to finally talk you guys in person) Till the next time Citizens, o7 – at Manchester, England

Got to meet so many amazing people in person for the first time! After years of playing together, @ianduforet is a legend and seeing and sharing his excitement for us as well as all of the development team who have put their love sweat and probably tears into squadron really was incredible. Getting to hear the same passion they have creating squadron as we have playing it, It connects you with project you supported throughout the years in such a unique way that not many games can or have. Seeing Chris and Sandy jump into the crowd and hang out with everyone was really awesome. I thought to myself, Where do you ever see heads of a project or game studios sit down and spend hours with so many people, in groups, 1 on 1. They wanted to make this event special and that they did. I'm sure plenty of people are craving something negative or scandalous, but you won't be getting any of that. If I had to Sum up my experience here it would be, Genuine, Transparent and overwhelmingly Positive and Excited for what comes next in ways I wasn't before. I Backed this project Day 1 of the Kickstarter campaign almost 15 years ago, not once have regretted it. My position is rock Solid. Seeing the studio, works areas of the team talking to so many other backers here with me and the devs has been an overwhelming experience for me but in a good way. Is Squadron 42 a perfect game? From my hands on time it comes damn close to it for Me, but others might not feel the same way. more because it won't be for everyone... Not everyone like FPS games not everyone likes flying ships, not everyone likes scifi or Spatial puzzles,not everyone will like what it is and that's important to understand .. But everyone should atleast give it a chance, because if you don't you will be missing out on a once in a Generation Genre Defining experience.
