Thanks to all our Amazing Readers that joined the Q&A. I love the Community involvement.
Thanks so very much to Matt @ TinyCo too for taking the time out of his very busy schedule to spend some time personally with our Amazing Readers.
Matt has to go now and breed some more Tribbles to keep tossing into your games, but feel free to continue the discussion below and post anymore thoughts you have on the Event. 🙂

Hey there Trekkies!
Are you boldly going out of your mind yet? So much going on in the game, so many cool things, cool Characters, you just do not know where to look? Want a lil more help? You already know that we Addicts LOVE to help you out, but you know who else loves to as well? TinyCo!
Matt from TinyCo has graciously offered to moderate your comments on their AMAZING Star Trek Event. He will be bouncing in n out of the comments section of this post offering answers to your questions. So feel free to get your Vulcan mind meld going with him and ask away. Please keep the focus to the Event and keep with our Guidelines.
Ready? ENGAGE!
Family Guy Addicts 
How far in advance are you guys planning stuff?
Do you know what the next event will be (planning stages of course, not asking for you to reveal it)? The next two events? The next district? The next two districts?
How do you decide how long the events will be? (Personally I LOVE the longer events. It seems like it gives you guys more development time to craft future content as well as giving us time to get everything we want!)

The length of the event depends on:
1) How much content a theme can feasibly provide. (Star Trek is packed with inspiration and ideas; “Adventure”, a bit less so.)
2) How long players enjoy a theme before it grows stale. (Many felt that Comic Con lasted just a bit too long.)
3) If there are themes that fit right after that. (Halloween -> Thanksgiving -> Christmas -> New Years -> Valentine’s all have clear calendar periods. That makes the end and start of the year already packed.)
4) If we think we’ll revisit a theme again in the future. (Halloween comes around every year and is very popular, so we didn’t want to use EVERYTHING right off the bat.)

Like I said, I know there are people that like it. Such as you Eddie. But I also know, from comments on previous posts on here, that a lot of people really don’t like it. That’s why I think we should have the option of turning it off in our Quahogs. Just a thought.

This exchange of comments perfectly sums up Ragdolling™ – the term we use for drag and drop. Some people love it. Some people hate it. I personally love how, back in the day, each character had a unique “oh crap I’m getting dragged around” animation, but we felt it best to refocus on unique in-game animations and on doing more new characters.
From a design perspective, any time you get a split of people loving and hating something, you’ve got a cool thing. With the way people’s attention is drawn every which way in this day and age, having people pay attention to you is rare. Any change we make, we want to make sure we still have people who *love* the feature, rather than turn it into a feature that everyone likes but nobody loves.

Visiting neighbors is one of the most memory-intensive actions in the game, which is why it can lead to crashes. You’re loading a lot of stuff you didn’t previously have cached on your device. It’s something we work on improving in each update.
You can alleviate this by closing out other apps before running the game. It’s not a perfect workaround, but it helps.

We’ve also gotten feedback that players enjoy focus. Back in November, there was a week that we had American Dad AND Thanksgiving at the same time. Some players liked the hustle, but many expressed to us that they didn’t know which one to focus on. This matters when sending characters away on tasks, etc. It’s possible we could have done it the weekend prior to St Patrick’s, but we didn’t pursue that.

We’ve invested a LOT in an amazing team who’s primary job is interacting with folks outside of TinyCo. They’re crucial to what we do. They brainstorm things like “what if we put the Ghostbusters in the game?” Then they shop that to the team, and work with outside partners to sell the opportunity. We’ve also spent a great deal of time building those relationships.
The other reason is Y’ALL. It’s because YOU have supported the game in a HUGE way. Like, we expected it to be big – but we had no idea the outpouring of love and excitement you would have. This meant that since launch, other companies have taken notice. It used to be our team arrived in a room with skeptical executives and a power point. Now, the industry has heard of TQFS and the avid community within, and they want to connect.
We tell them about the feedback you provide, the real time connection, the amount people play the game, and we even mention this very blog. It’s a new, exciting thing, and a huge part of it is because of the excitement you show.

Hi Matt! What was your motivation behind doing a Star Trek Event? Why Star Trek and not something else?
LikeLike
The short answer is: we’re all huge nerds and we adore Star Trek. It made is incredibly excited to give Star Trek a huge, hilarious treatment. So much so that we basically built an all-new game within Family Guy: TQFS.
There were other factors, of course. Star Trek has a huge following – tons of fans who we knew would love the game but hadn’t heard of TQFS yet. We knew there was a cross section of existing Family Guy fans who grew up on Star Trek, be it TOS or TNG.
When looking at stuff like this, we examine:
– The size of the fan base
– Whether it makes sense in the Family Guy style and universe (having episodes and cutaways in the TV show certainly helps prove the case)
– If the rights holder is interested
This kind of size, familiarity and fervor meant we saw a huge opportunity, and CBS agreed.

I play on an inexpensive (read: cheap) android tablet with a 32MB SD card that I pretty much bought solely for this game. The game is housed on the SD card and there is nothing else on the tablet other than the OS. With the release of the event, I am now getting an error message upon launch that my device doesn’t have enough memory. The game starts and I am able to play so far without incident. I assume they mean RAM as opposed to storage memory. I understand that there is a lot going on with the event, but is this going to be a trend for the future? Have your technical people looked into the various playing devices and what your cap is for RAM to be able to play the game? I haven’t sent an in-game message yet because I didn’t want it to get lost with all the immediate game stuff that people have issue with right now but I plan on sending screen shots and specs for my device to see if there is any advice.

Can’t give too much away yet. Some things I can share:
– We approached this with the conceit that each Star Trek character is a unique being in the multiverse. We think a lot about whether it makes sense for something to be a skin. Like with Bitch Stewie – should that be a skin, or a separate character? We ended up with the latter because in the show’s fiction, it is a distinct being from the “real” Stewie.
– While we do re-release characters important to a storyline, such as with Cleveland, we want the ST characters we release to be consistent. You’ll notice that there is no Jonathan Frakes character walking around. (Though now that I think about it, perhaps there should be.)
