Hello Heliborne Community,
My name is Markus, and some of you may know me under my in-game nickname “Chairborne”. Being 45 years old, I am rather old for a gamer, or it only seems like that to me. Ever since the first 8-bit home computers came out in the mid-1980s, I enjoyed computer gaming, primarily military and simulation software. My professional background as a retired soldier and paramedic/firefighter has given me some inside look into the world of helicopters. So it is no wonder that once I came across Heliborne, back then still in early access, I immediately got hooked on the game. It is safe to say that with almost 2000 hours spent in-game, I am one of the more consistent fans of that wonderful piece of a game. Never before have I stuck to one simulation for so long. Now I have gotten the opportunity to do my tiny bit to help improve Heliborne and become a link between the developers and the community. There have been difficulties in the past and sometimes hard feelings, primarily due to misunderstandings as I see it. Believe me, monetary goals are not my motivation for getting engaged in this adventure. Instead, I want to make the gaming experience for all of us top-notch and serve as a connector for developers and gamers.
Moving forward, I will be managing the Steam forum and Discord channels, both Heliborne and Heliborne: Enhanced Edition, and doing my best to activate and connect you so that you get more chances to play in PvP or multiplayer. I will gladly listen to your feedback and ideas while we play together, so just let me know if you are ready on the #looking-to-play Discord channel:
The reasons Klabater hired me are the willingness of the devs to
- improve the information flow between you and them (bugs, improvements);
- moderate the chats and forums - propagating supportiveness towards new players, sharing constructive feedback, being polite and respectful to other community members; on the other hand, scattering or even banning for disrespectful behavior towards other players - feel free to DM me about any such situation;
- organize events to the extent the game allows, live stream on Heliborne Collection Steam page, do typical lets plays, etc.; in short - activating and bringing you together to enjoy the multiplayer modes.
Feel free to add me as a friend on Steam. Here is the link to my profile: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198065011131/
Chat, report, let me know if you’re willing to organize something together or live stream with me. I am sure it will be a pleasure to meet you and the devs much closer.
See you around!
Markus, aka Chairborne
