Congratulations to you for your contract with the publicist.  I look forward to seeing the release of the new version of Autonauts.   I have a few questions for you.

What will you call this version? 

I see from your screenshots and your video that all of the Storage Bins have question marks on them.  Will those Bins get symbols that show what they contain like the current version has? 

I don't see any Folks or Natives.  Will Folks exist in the new version? 

I don't see any names on the bots.  Will we still be able to make Name Badges and give names to the bots?

In the current version, the Save file was a .txt file which allowed us to edit it using MS Notepad.  I found that editing the Save file provided a lot of interesting capabilities, such as naming the Folk, adding additional cows, and changing the type of land on the grid.  Will the Save file remain as a .txt file?  If not, what will its file extension be?  Will we still be able to edit the Save file?

Thank you for all that you have done.

Thanks!

The game will still be called Autonauts and we won't be applying a version name like we used to in the prototype.

Yes, every building that can accept an item will have these signs showing what is stored in them.

Yes Folk still exist. Now the player needs to create them from Folk Seeds.

Bots now don't need badges to be renamed, you can rename them any time you like.

Yes we'll be sticking with the txt format though a lot of the variable names have changed so the old files are completely incompatible with the new game.

Thank you for this information.  This will be very helpful. 

Are  the "Folk Seeds" things that the Farmer/Player can find on the map, or do we need to create a special building (or "bedroom" ;)), or is there some other method for creating them?  If there needs to be a building or bedroom, how many Folks need to enter it?  Unless there is an "Adam" and an "Eve" at the start of the game or maybe only two Folk Seeds that could be found, I guess that there probably won't be a building or a bedroom.

Once I have purchased the new Autonauts, I expect that I will have lots of questions for you about the new variable names and their values.  Thank you.

When you land your ship on a new planet you'll also be given a box of infinite Folk Seeds to colonise with. 

Great! Keep the questions coming :)

Interesting!

Sounds like a good background story to me. Curiouser and curiouser ...
