    So I wrote a topic on TU leaving CSyn, and got some - deserved - flak for posting up a TU quote but not a CSyn one. This was a mistake, for two reasons.

     

    One: it is indeed unfair, in case of conflict, to give more "speech time" to a party than the other; I have no bias myself about this affair, it just happened that TU got in touch with me and not CSyn at the time, but I should have known better.

     

    Two: quotes are for news articles; they do shed light on a situation but in such case, they are beyond the scope of my initiative, which is - as I made amply clear on several occasions - recording history and NOT writing newsfeeds.

     

    So from now on, I will not be posting up any quotes anymore - though I will add Astrophil's comment on that TU/CSyn topic, it's the least I can do.

     

    I will however keep looking for inside comments on any given situation, but only as personal insight-gathering.

     

    Also: it looks like this Sleeper will get an early wake-up call ! Big thanks to Novaquark and the CMs for adding me to the Vanguard Alpha Team, this is a much-appreciated validation.

    So, is this the beginning of what will become Sleeper University? 

     

     

    I originally planned to set up an organization, some sort of network of observers. However, it seems unnecessary and time-consuming for now: what I WILL do is prowl the Dual Universe with my eyes wide open, a full pen and a large notebook right at hand, laying my observations upon any available canvas (the future official in-the-works community site, for starters, but Lord Void's Historical Society and Alpha Academy also come to mind).
     
    This just came to my mind reading the last post.

     

     

    Nice song ! I didn't know Green Day, actually.
     
    I would love to be part of this chronicling. I often do stuff like this for fun, thought I'm not sure if I'll be too busy building ships!

     

     

    There isn't much to it: just keep your eyes and ears open, both IG and IRL, write it down with a date and send it to me, even if it's "too late": this is not an "exclusive news report" but a "let's not forget it happened" thing; also check the Historical Society and the Alpha Academy for similar-minded-yet-larger-scoped initiatives. Sleepers is just me.

    So someone on Discord expressed his opinion that Dual Universe has yet no history and that "true history" will begin after game goes live.

     

    I beg to differ.

     

    As far as the game is concerned, "history" started when J.C. began musing with the idea of a server technology able to sustain a single-shard editable world, back in 2011. As far as we players are concerned, "history" is right now. We're living it. It has already started.

     

    That person probably - and rightly so - meant that recording current "history" was kind of irrelevant, since few of what we see today (projects, organizations, hierarchies, roosters, blueprints and so on) will endure the harsh reality of actually having to do stuff to happen ingame.

     

    This is all a dream for now (the term "Sleepers" was not choosen randomly by your humble chronicler, mind you).

     

    However, when you wake up after a vivid dream, though most of it is gone the moment you open your eyes, some of it remains: fuzzy yet marking oniric memories, that might shape your day...

     

    ... or even inspire the rest of your whole life.

    Just wanted to drop in and say I love reading DUSleepers when I have a spare moment! Always lots of good stuff to dig into.

     

     
    Been following your site since day one Peregrin, content is good!

     

     
    ^ You're doing good work here.  :D 
     
    Thanks guys !
     
    And you know what the best part is ? This is all NQ and us. Our thing. I'm just laying the footnotes, here.
     
    Though, the site could use some work.  :D
     
    I know, I confess it's a cheap hosting and tool, and it's ugly, but I feel... unmotivated to invest time and money in fancy wallpapering. It went from "Meh, good enough for starters..." to "Meh, I'll do it later..." to "Meh, I'll be using the community hosting anyway...".
     
    I need to find how to kill those huge gaps in endpages, though.
     
    EDIT: Those pesky infinipages are history.

    The brilliant GDC pitch episode and the following IGN interview put Dual Universe into an even more public light. To this reniewed exposition, we owe the "hateful" comments on the IGN Youtube video page: the visibility upgrade attracted more, new viewers, each with his preconceptions on game development, hence the abrupt fallacies about P2P model, NMS-AntiHype or Space Engineer Looking-Alike.

     

    Again.

     

    Novaquark and the DU community already won the first crowd. Hell, we ARE the first crowd. It is up to us to win - and not fight - this crowd too.

     

    Also: "A Thousand Deaths For Murray". Really.

    and if you need any help, I will be happy to help

     

     

     

     

    I'm always happy to get any bits of news and ideas from Pioneers and organizations to highlight on the DUSleepers website: anything will do until we get to witness the ingame emergence...

     

    ... speaking of which:

     

    As I do every once in a while, I recently contacted various organizations to learn of their evolution. I got two kinds of answers:
     
    1. "We got lots to do before alpha starts."
     
    2. "Not much stuff to do until alpha starts."
     
    Interesting dichotomy.
     
    Don't forget to check Dual Universe Sleepers form time to time !

    Time passing and fame rising, organizations start to multiply promotional material in hope of gathering new members and fidelizing old ones.

     

    This is quite interesting to behold, as most of those are good work.

     

    On a more personal (and less-than-neutral) note, though, I'm eager to see how all those supreme rulers with their orderly flock and ambitious doctrines will fare once we get to dip our ankles in the grease pit.

     

    I sincerely wish them all the best.

    Several events recording and diffusion initiatives have been sprouting up lately: I'll be following and participating with great interest.

     

    This consequently made me put aside my own ideas of setting up a similar network for now: best to leave it to the more able; it also reminded me that D.U. Sleepers is only a temporary project: after all, once we awake to the Dual Universe, we will not be sleeping anymore...

     

    ... And then, anything might happen.
