This Week at ADB, Inc., 2-8 September 2012
Steve Cole reports:
This was a normal week, with game designers designing and everybody else shipping orders. The weather this week was cooler, and we had some rain. The spam storm quieted to only about 100 per day. We were offered another joint venture deal by an old friend but had to turn it down as it was not a good fit for the product lines.
A decision was made that the next Star Fleet Battles module will be C6 Forgotten Empires, containing the general war versions of the Carnivons and Paravians. These will be done as full empires with over 70 SSDs so they can be used in campaigns. Steven Petrick held a live conference about C6 on Talkshoe, and Jean announced that the two Steves will try to make a pre-scheduled appearance on Talkshoe every month.
Steve Cole worked on many projects, having come to grips with the idea that he could not do everything. So, a lot of things that were not the first five on the list got put on hold. He did Communique (including an extra new scout because of a customer request), Hailing Frequencies, asked for quotes for the Star Fleet Battle Force card game expansions, wrote some blogs, and did the first few multi-person pages on the Wall of Honor. He also totally reorganized the scenario submissions for Federation Commander. Steve also helped Paul Franz define the new SFBOL 3rd Generation Ship Description files so that project can get moving. He continued to push progress on the deck plans project.
Steven Petrick worked on the Advanced Missions update. It's a big product and is taking a lot of work.
Leanna kept orders and accounting up to date.
Mike kept orders going out, rebuilt the inventory, and managed customer service.
Joel did website updates, chased pirates, and helped Mike.
Jean managed our page on Facebook (which is up to 1330 friends), proofread Communique and Hailing Frequencies, bought her tickets for the December visit, and did some marketing.
