PGI should make a behind the scenes video that would let the community experience what it's like making MWO. It would be a tour around the studio, showing fans the daily work life of game developers, glimpses into the development process, such as concept sketches, how maps and mechs are made, and the sound effects and musical scores. The fans of MWO are a passionate group and would love to see the heart and soul that is poured into this game.

Thoughts?

unfortunately this would likely inspire 2 kinds of posts:

1. "OMG! i saw a guy eating lunch in one of the videos. they need to work MOAR!!1!!!111!!"
2. "why are they spending time on these videos, when they could be dealing with the stuff i gripe about!!!!111!!!!!!11!"

i like the idea, but the general maturity level of the community (or lack of) will make it a bad idea.

But there is already this video:

I would like to see at behind the scenes video but voted no for the above reasons.

But it's still awesome.

I abstained. I might watch a behind-the-scenes video; it might draw in a few more players. But then it might not, just as easily.

If they do, I think it shouldn't be anything too over-done. Just a little " 'ello poppet" from the devs.

I think what the OP really wants is more interaction from the devs. Honestly though OP, they are interacting with us in a variety of ways. No one is stopping people who want to hear from the devs from using those avenues. A video would be a waste of time in my opinion though, when you consider that they already make official forum posts, have an actively updated Q&A (Ask the Devs) and tweet to us. They also play the game with us.

Just tune in if you want more interaction.

Yeah, just look at what they did to GD!

They just need to fix machineguns and include more cover (giant ice bridges) on alpine... Tourmaline's big problem is more a matter of size than one of cover.

And 12 vs 12's should go a little way toward fixing that problem.

They'll never do it, they're all playing Hawken!

How funny would that be?

[Phoenix Branson]

I was thinking something along these lines...
