20s hello everyone and we find ourselves now
24s in the world of Vera once again and uh
28s Bucky I think you were talking a little
30s bit about a freehold that you have
32s nearby in the riverlands here where
34s we're gonna perhaps participate in some
37s of your
38s what do you got on that Freehold what
39s are you doing over there
41s so we got a lot of uh farming stuff
43s mainly is what we're focusing on but we
44s also have a uh Artisan building as well
47s forged stationed because we got some
50s good mining opportunities out here okay
52s very cool and uh I see you kind of are
56s close to this
57s this kind of these ruins
60s with your Freehold I guess is there any
63s happening spots around this area for you
65s guys
66s yeah for sure I mean we got some we got
68s some mob packs around here players are
70s coming through here a lot to you know
71s obviously get the uh yeah this nice
73s resource here we got some uh I like a
75s night is that why you you formed your
77s Freehold near the these this precious
79s resource talk to me a little bit about
81s this this resource uh Corey and and or
85s Mike
87s oh yeah that's uh so this is halcyonite
89s it's a kind of a mid-tier journeyman
93s um a gem
95s um and yeah it's just got sort of a
96s something you would use in in weapons
99s and for decorations jewelry so it's
102s pretty pretty sought after for a lot of
105s crafts so that's pretty valuable I love
107s the uh I love
109s just its look I mean it adds a really
111s kind of
113s um magical uh Blues to this area wow
116s this is a beautiful now Bucky I know why
118s you made your Freehold here this is a
120s beautiful view
122s yep just another beautiful day in Vera
124s oh my gosh do you ever get like afraid
127s of heights here I mean this is kind of
129s crazy
131s I think actually I might have something
133s that could help you with this hold on
134s let me see
136s just to bring it up here and then if you
138s ever need to use it one day feel free to
140s you're more than welcome
142s oh yes beautiful perfect oh it's not
145s even on theme for the fall weather I
147s know exactly it's a drink of the canopy
149s perfect yeah if you ever want to take
151s them for a spin just let me know okay
153s all right but uh yeah there you go
155s actually I'll put him away he's kind of
157s afraid of heights himself
160s so I can mine this and so I've maxed out
163s um my artisanship levels through a
165s little bit of a cheat but uh
168s if you have the tools and
171s oops do I have the tools okay guys
173s you're seeing a little bit of a preview
174s of some of the work in progress UI with
177s the artisanship windows and obviously
179s you have a number of tools here that are
180s possible this UI of course is getting
182s completely revamped this is just kind of
184s the the
185s um uh the wireframing for it but talk to
188s me a little bit about the tool setup why
190s is it important to have these kind of
191s tools how do tools Aid you in your
193s Gathering Adventures
196s yeah so um so uh each uh Gathering
199s profession will have three tools the
201s tools kind of compliant online as you
204s progress through the profession and the
206s different uh resource types for each one
208s of the profession may require different
210s tools so
211s um you basically want to carry around
213s the the right tool for the job
215s and tools along with artisanship gear
219s will have stats on it so you can itemize
222s towards how you want to gather how fast
224s you want to gather yeah
228s oh it looks great I love the the uh the
231s destruction of the actual like
234s uh is it halcyonite how can I whatever
237s yeah I'll see you at night yeah I mean
239s we sort of set the precedent with trees
241s right so um we're trying to get uh
245s similar feelings uh that the trees bring
247s with our their other uh
249s gatherables yeah that's looking great
251s now where is where is your Freehold uh
255s it's just over this hill here off to the
257s left of the path I think you might be
258s able to see my uh the house there with
260s this chimney of smoke as well okay yeah
263s that looks good how do we let's let's
265s get over there a little bit faster maybe
266s we can uh oh yeah
268s what do we got oh I don't think people
270s have seen the uh
273s Lightfoot yet
275s let's bring him out oh look at him how
280s cool is that
282s I look so good
286s I love the eyes
290s super cool do we know who did this one
292s was this ginsy
294s I I think yeah
299s oh wow this guy's fast it's high speed
303s there's a rabbit after all you know
306s that's so cool wait we gotta slow it
309s down a little bit we gotta I can't
311s Approach at such Fast Pace to your to
313s your Freehold that would be
314s disrespectful oh yes thank you don't
316s trample my plants please yeah oh perfect
320s this is great it's harder rabbits
323s so what have you geared it looks like I
326s mean you don't have a lot of buildings
327s on the Freehold uh for yours Bucky is
330s that because you're kind of trying to
331s utilize the land for farming and and
335s I know of course you are doctor Bucky so
337s the animal husbandry system and like
339s livestock
340s that's exactly right yeah so I I
342s sacrificed some of the space I could
344s have used for buildings to just have
346s more Farm space basically so as you can
348s see here we got some you know we got
350s some sheeps we got some cows and pigs
353s and we got some chickens back there and
355s we have a lot of space for different
357s farmables so we have a wheat here corn
360s and then a Tomatoes over there as well
361s oh this looks great so now
365s Mike when we're talking about you know
368s these types of farmable spaces obviously
370s as we discussed previously you know the
373s customization options for your Freehold
376s are really kind of up to you and what
378s you want to delve into on the processing
380s side of things and how you want to use
382s the space but players who want to
384s participate in the farming talk to me a
385s little bit about that system I mean the
388s intent excuse me to provide this open
391s area space for people to utilize just
394s growing different crop rotations and the
396s livestock and how does that feed the the
398s general processing system yeah so the
401s farming is kind of generally focus on
403s growing crops like this and then dealing
405s with livestocks over there like that
407s um but generally what you want to do is
410s get gather some seeds from either vendor
413s or open the world you can gather or find
416s some seeds on the open content and
418s you're going to come to your Freehold
420s and plant them and then depending on
423s what kind of processing level you have
424s and what kind of processing stations or
426s buildings you might have you might grow
428s crops like a little faster produce like
431s better crop rotations and just generally
434s Farm things that's unique to farming
438s produce like compared it to the in the
441s open world yeah so and I just got a
444s bunch of Wheat by the way I apologize
446s Bucky on stealing your weed
448s but uh I gotta go for I got plenty it's
450s it's harvest season yeah we got a big
452s crop coming I need some help uh getting
454s all the Harvest done
456s yeah it looks super cool
458s yeah another cool thing about farming
460s too since it has the the livestock
462s um is that it kind of feeds directly
464s into do hunting and synergizes with uh
467s animal husbandry so
469s um if you're interested in in raising
471s animals taming animals
473s um you know farmers will have a use for
476s them
476s yeah exactly so yeah animal husbandry
479s has multiple Lanes of ways to breed and
482s specialize your creatures and uh mallets
485s and pets are one of the more popular
486s ones but then obviously livestock as
487s well so not only can you breed your
490s animals for traits such as like movement
491s speed and health and different combat
493s stats but you also be able to breed them
495s for desirable traits like you know
497s fertility increase harvesting yield and
500s even increased yield from butchering
502s foreign
503s [Music]
519s with their
521s style here very nice very nice I just
524s got some eggs okay now one of the other
526s things that we wanted to obviously
528s collect player feedback on and I'm going
530s to open up the inventory
532s um just to kind of take a look at the
534s materials uh resource bag talk to me a
539s little bit about how we are implementing
542s resources differently from your general
544s item inventory
549s um so we're taking an approach from
552s other games but the idea of resource is
557s gonna have somewhat of a slot base
559s instead of having a slot base like
561s traditional MMO we're gonna look for
563s like a Tetris kind of idea of having
565s different shapes and different stock
568s sizes kind of like that to make some
570s interesting choices out in the world
572s where you have to do inventory
574s management and have a pick and choose
576s depending on like what you have
578s available what kind of bags you have
580s now I seem to have kind of run out of
583s space maybe I can grab do you have any
586s oh yeah if you want you can come put
587s some stuff in the chest in the house or
589s uh are your bags too small or what's
591s yeah no I only have one bag it's called
593s a Sanctus resource oh yeah I got some
596s extra bags for you actually you could
597s take some around my chest
599s nicely decorated home here
602s oh you have the uh
606s you have the
608s oh man I can't remember what we called
610s this but this was for the um
612s pandemic everyone who I think registered
615s prior to a certain date during the
617s pandemic Margaret will know
619s um we granted this item to people or
621s will be granted to people that's cool
623s it's modeled look at that I think Ryan
625s Richmond actually did the modeling for
627s that and then John uh waynick and did
630s the implementation very cool that looks
632s awesome where's the chest I can grab uh
635s right here by the fireplace oh okay
636s sweet let me see here the materials oh
640s okay
642s all right so uh what do I do here just
646s grab this
648s let's just take them all and swap it out
649s I think I'll equip them
653s okay cool I have some now this is
654s obviously work in progress uh UI this is
657s not the final UI but this kind of
659s demonstrates the functionality of the
661s system
664s let me go over here what can I do with
665s these sheep
667s you could Harvest them for uh we'll
669s shoot them
672s all right this this is not going to hurt
674s them is it
683s oh it gave me some wool and now it's
686s naked that's so sad oh grow back
689s uh how so so talk perfect that's a good
692s point so it'll grow back talk to me a
694s little bit about kind of you know the
696s intent behind the the livestock here and
699s the crops as well like you're planting
701s and you're placing these livestock uh on
704s farmable Space within the within your
706s Freehold and then over time they mature
710s and become processible or how does that
712s work
714s oh yeah that's pretty much exactly it
716s um certain certain things like for the
718s crops for example you need to acquire
720s seeds first which can be acquired
722s through a number of ways but once you
723s plant them uh you'll have to water them
725s and care for them and then after a
726s certain point depending on the crop
727s itself uh would be when you can Harvest
730s them
731s and then you can replant them at that
732s point and then for Animals uh different
735s animals have different you know sort of
737s byproducts they can get like so for
738s example from here from the cow you could
739s you could milk them and get some uh
741s fresh milk
743s but the they have horns are these
747s it's the right cow there's letters
748s there's others down there okay all right
750s let's see
752s oh I got like a little stool
755s wow that's some rapid paced milking Holy
758s Spirit
761s that was crazy hold on let me make sure
764s I got the milk
765s oh we did get the milk let me pull it
767s down here
769s pull some corn down as well
772s do some reorganization there yeah kind
775s of just reorganizing things
777s another sort of interesting thing that
779s you'll see with you know livestock and
781s other types of things that you can
782s gather is
783s um uh you'll be able to kind of choose
786s the things that you want to gather from
787s it right um Bucky had mentioned the
790s animal byproducts right and you know
792s milk is a byproduct of a cow and you
794s know so is beef so it's up to you kind
797s of how and when you want to harvest your
800s Livestock in certain ways and the you
803s know same same with plants maybe you
805s want to you know take take the corn and
807s maybe you want to cut down the the
808s entire uh
811s corn plant to make room for other crops
813s and you know there's different bread
815s products depending on how you interact
817s with that gatherable now this is going
819s to be
821s another point of good player feedback so
824s one we kind of talked to you and showed
825s you guys a little bit of the systems for
828s planting crops on your Freehold
831s for
832s raising livestock collecting resources
835s from them
836s this and then the tetris inventory type
840s system
841s but this one is more game philosophy
846s slash
848s immersion right and uh what you're going
851s to see now
852s I think for those of you who are a bit
855s squeamish if you want to turn away
857s understandable but we're gonna get some
860s leather
862s and what else from the side Meat
867s um yeah some meat kind of whatever you'd
870s expect from a pig yep bacon all right
873s well all right I apologize little buddy
876s you had a good long life you did have a
879s good long life a happy life on the farm
880s and now oh God go to sleep
884s now oh we got the hide in the meat but
887s it's oh that's sad is it it's just
889s sleeping is it tired that was intense
891s yeah yeah yeah for sure it's sleepy yeah
894s don't worry let's go uh yeah nothing to
896s see here
898s sorry little piglets
900s the piglets okay I'll take good care of
903s you oh let them let them live a little
905s bit of a life you'll become big and then
907s we'll uh oh um
910s so guys that's a that's a great point of
912s player feedback talk to us a little bit
914s about how real slash immersive do you
916s want it to be or do you prefer that uh
919s perhaps the pigs don't die but rather
921s they just go to sleep
923s um that's that's a good question I think
925s for for a lot of people to give their
927s thoughts on okay so now now we have
930s um I'm seeing over here there's another
932s building obviously we have the the home
933s here we went inside a little bit this
936s other building talked to me a little bit
937s about that we talked a little bit in the
939s presentation about
942s um the profession buildings and them
944s giving access to workstations what do we
946s have here
948s so this is the um Artisan building that
951s we talked about
952s um and then these give General benefits
955s to the Freehold it could be proficient
957s specific it could be just general
958s specific but it also gives you like
960s access to putting down stations like
963s this so this would be the metal working
964s station oh nice okay and I see this this
968s station's pretty
969s pretty intensive and and that's I think
971s something we're going to be showing in a
973s future stream which is all about The
975s Crafting process and the recipe
977s acquisition and the tools but also
981s um a little bit of a gameplay layer that
984s Corey Mike you guys have been working on
986s with crafting in the future that we're
989s going to show but this one's all about
990s processing and tell me talk to me a
992s little bit about we talked a little bit
993s about what it takes to go into the fuel
996s to prep the station to do the processed
998s goods and then kind of leaving and
1000s letting that you know process over time
1005s do you expect that players are going to
1007s want to like fully kit out their
1009s freeholds with the profession building
1011s so they have access to all the stations
1013s what would be the benefit of that
1016s and I I think so right like if players
1019s are really interested in investing in in
1021s processing right
1023s um you know the freeholds are supposed
1025s to kind of give the players the the
1027s furthest reach up to the highest tiers
1029s of process processing so if you want to
1032s you know allocate most of your space in
1034s your rehold in your Freehold for um uh
1038s you know processing buildings processing
1041s stations uh you could you could create
1042s like kind of your your own processing
1045s plant or or factory
1047s um and really sort of you know have a
1050s have a Stranglehold on a market or
1052s particular Goods so the Freehold is
1055s supposed to be free space for players to
1057s kind of do whatever they'd like you know
1059s decorate housing have businesses
1062s um or create a you know processing
1065s Empire so cool very cool well I did get
1068s some
1070s some supplies whoops I did get some
1073s supplies uh Bucky do you want me to like
1075s put this in the chest or anything or
1077s yeah yeah you can just empty on the
1080s store right here in my chest for now so
1081s you can go out no plants
1083s oh yeah yeah that's right towards these
1085s oh
1088s other ones here
1091s very nice oh it's more exploded oh no oh
1096s you got them at least right yeah yeah we
1097s did yeah we're good all right let me go
1099s put this inside wait let me make sure I
1101s actually did get the tomatoes
1103s I got a full bag at this point almost
1106s oh I did get some Tomatoes okay there we
1108s go
1111s now you've obviously done a great job
1114s with the inter with the decorations here
1116s on the furniture
1118s um and you know we don't intend
1120s Furniture to obviously just be visual
1123s aspect of the Interior but functional as
1126s well talk to me a little bit about that
1130s yeah so obviously we've seen here the
1131s chest right the chest is a placeable
1133s Furniture prop that actually increases
1135s the storage capacity of your of your
1136s Freehold property but we're going to
1139s have a variety of you know other
1140s functional Furnitures like besides just
1142s even the artisanship stations so for
1144s example we have a bed over here which
1146s you'll be able to sleep in as well get
1148s some rest experience perhaps also have
1151s chairs those are just like kind of
1152s cosmetic you'll be able to sit in and uh
1154s yeah there'll be a variety of functional
1156s uh prop items as well that'll have
1158s actual gameplay uh uses
1161s nice that's awesome
1164s let's see I'm just putting all this
1165s stuff into the uh into the into your
1170s storage chest so you have it
1173s very nice Free Labor I see you have some
1175s pictures in here as well yep yep that's
1178s the picture I commissioned to myself and
1181s I'm just oh is this it is that is that
1182s you yes it is actual me and armor it's
1187s actual bugging
1189s that is so great I think this is your
1193s favorite Stephen yes yes sandals oh
1195s that's awesome that is super cool now
1199s obviously players that we talked a
1201s little bit about businesses and how
1203s players can kind of stand up different
1204s taverns and whatnot and Bucky you had
1206s stated like one of the reasons why you
1208s wanted to have your Freehold here in
1210s this location was because of some of the
1211s access to the rare resources but there's
1213s also some interesting hunting grounds
1215s nearby
1216s um
1217s and
1218s you know one of the things that is
1221s interesting about the Freehold system is
1222s that it's not just architected for
1224s processing but it can also be a
1227s profitable location based on where uh
1231s and what you're providing other players
1232s access to from a like drink and food
1236s Tavern perspective right yeah we
1238s mentioned it before like there's um
1240s business types of buildings that you can
1242s build some of these could be very region
1244s specific like if there was a hunting
1247s ground nearby that is very populated we
1249s could set up a Tavern sell like food
1251s Buffs and drinks that is really good for
1253s XP bonuses or increase to your loot
1258s chance or something like that whatever
1259s that may increase some kind of a benefit
1261s to the player that is
1263s um good business like I said
1267s um if we set up here where you could
1270s just get um
1272s take advantage of the populated player
1275s area that's awesome that's super cool
1279s I love it and you were saying
1282s um
1283s you know obviously
1285s having access to
1287s an open world where you're not
1290s necessarily restricted to the locations
1293s that you can place these freeholds but
1296s allowing the players to kind of place
1298s them themselves
1300s obviously we are going to block out
1302s certain areas that can't be placed like
1305s certain Road networks and pois but
1309s generally the intent is to to provide
1311s these freeholds
1313s as layable plots in the open world is
1316s that right
1317s yeah that's right so as long as you
1319s purchase a certificate from the owning
1321s note of the land you'll be able to place
1322s it in many places around the node like
1325s just basically anywhere that's not like
1327s a you know dungeon or a
1329s point of Interest with monsters you'll
1331s be able to place in a lot of areas so
1333s players will have a lot of freedom in
1334s choosing where they want to build build
1337s their field lay down their their plots
1339s so it'll be a big like obviously here
1341s like what you you said I was looking at
1342s the you know we got the mines over there
