| 1s | thank you |
|---|---|
| 20s | hello everyone and welcome to another |
| 24s | stream |
| 25s | from Vera |
| 27s | we have been building |
| 31s | up I think to this moment a little bit |
| 33s | in the showcase for the tower at Carfin |
| 37s | and |
| 39s | I think there's been some lore that |
| 42s | we've released during last November's |
| 45s | extra life live stream |
| 47s | we played through a portion I believe of |
| 50s | this Tower |
| 51s | and now we have an opportunity to take a |
| 55s | look together a little sneak peek a |
| 57s | small portion of this area and the lore |
| 61s | behind it |
| 63s | and we're also going to take a focus |
| 64s | with |
| 66s | some of the developers that will be |
| 68s | joining us here in a second I'll |
| 69s | introduce them |
| 70s | into the system of our story arcs and |
| 73s | how that system works in reflecting the |
| 77s | changes that players |
| 80s | elicit from the world of era |
| 83s | so I want to introduce |
| 86s | um |
| 87s | one of our senior designers |
| 90s | Scott |
| 91s | how are you doing buddy |
| 93s | doing very good thank you for asking |
| 95s | welcome welcome to your design become |
| 99s | reality |
| 100s | thank you |
| 103s | this is Scott has been working on the |
| 106s | narrative for this particular story arc |
| 108s | that we're all going to see in a second |
| 111s | um with his with his team with whom we |
| 113s | are joined by one of our designers I |
| 116s | mean I me how you doing |
| 118s | hi I'm doing good Stephen |
| 121s | welcome this is I think is this your |
| 122s | first time on the Stream |
| 125s | it is yeah that is awesome I mean is one |
| 128s | of our incredibly talented designers who |
| 132s | is helping create the narrative around |
| 134s | Vera |
| 137s | and um |
| 139s | you guys may have played some of her |
| 140s | quests in uh Alpha One actually one in |
| 144s | particular is the I believe it was the |
| 146s | Lost pages and the um that spider Quest |
| 150s | was that right I mean were those yours |
| 152s | those were my quests yeah thanks to |
| 155s | remembering that I know they're great |
| 158s | yeah and we're super excited to join |
| 160s | today |
| 162s | we're very excited um to have you and |
| 166s | then in addition we have uh what is soon |
| 170s | becoming a regular on the streams |
| 172s | um Mr Jeremy one of our senior designers |
| 175s | how you doing buddy |
| 176s | doing good happy to show off Scott's |
| 179s | Masterpiece creation here yeah |
| 182s | oh my goodness laying it on thick I know |
| 186s | wow I love it pretty exciting it is |
| 189s | exciting it is exciting I mean I've |
| 190s | always said that noses that do hotness |
| 193s | that we've been showing and story arcs |
| 195s | are the new hotness we've been hiding |
| 196s | yes agreed totally agree so one of the |
| 200s | first things that you guys are going to |
| 202s | notice in this environment |
| 205s | is that we have this perspective of the |
| 208s | of the Tower |
| 209s | and I think |
| 212s | Scott do you want to talk a little bit |
| 215s | about story arcs as a system |
| 218s | uh yeah sure so |
| 220s | it's it's helpful I think to think about |
| 223s | story arcs is kind of like a like a |
| 225s | pre-packaged tabletop campaign they |
| 227s | contain like all of the NPCs and quests |
| 230s | and monsters like all the things you |
| 231s | need to make a like a cool fantasy story |
| 233s | uh they're not procedure generated we |
| 236s | author them uh we write all the dialogue |
| 237s | and we construct all the narrative beats |
| 239s | and everything like that but uh they |
| 242s | will enter the world dynamically |
| 244s | depending on the state that the world is |
| 247s | currently in how players have built up |
| 250s | specific nodes like what races control |
| 252s | various nodes uh we have plans to |
| 255s | include lots of different things on top |
| 256s | of that |
| 258s | um |
| 258s | but yeah it's it's we don't have any |
| 261s | Quest hubs or anything like that in this |
| 262s | game because players build up all the |
| 265s | cities so we had to get a system that |
| 267s | kind of looks at what players are doing |
| 268s | and can inject content into the world |
| 271s | that makes sense for what they're doing |
| 273s | it as like the um the world decides in |
| 276s | the state that it's in that we're gonna |
| 278s | now play this module we're gonna because |
| 281s | of the state of the nodes beating this |
| 283s | way and certain races have this one |
| 285s | we're gonna play first of straw we're |
| 288s | gonna do blood still do we're gonna do |
| 290s | this modules and things so one of the |
| 293s | things that I find most unique about our |
| 296s | story arc system is that they're |
| 298s | intended to |
| 300s | represent change change within the story |
| 305s | of what Vera is telling and we don't |
| 308s | just do that through |
| 310s | these new Quest logs and and and |
| 312s | dialogue but also by literally changing |
| 316s | the environments and showing these |
| 319s | active states that represent what is |
| 322s | happening and what choices the players |
| 324s | have made previously in the different |
| 325s | chapters perhaps |
| 327s | of other story arcs Scott I know that we |
| 331s | have been working hard on this your team |
| 332s | has been working particularly hard and |
| 334s | with engineering to kind of stand the |
| 336s | system up over the last several months |
| 339s | but you have the ability to push us into |
| 342s | the next chapter manually correct |
| 345s | yeah uh normally this is a story that |
| 348s | would require us to have built up some |
| 351s | of the nodes in the area either you |
| 355s | could just build up Miralax directly to |
| 357s | get access to where we're going or any |
| 359s | of the nodes in the riverlands could |
| 360s | have leveled up to a certain amount to |
| 364s | have |
| 364s | basically enabled the story to spawn but |
| 366s | I'll just |
| 367s | I'll just turn this on for us now |
| 369s | manually let's see that's good get ready |
| 372s | ladies and gentlemen all right welcome I |
| 375s | push it takes a second but it will kick |
| 377s | on to the Tower |
| 379s | of carfa |
| 384s | and |
| 386s | Houston |
| 388s | there it goes |
| 392s | uh-oh |
| 402s | oh things are getting red |
| 405s | the complete at |
| 408s | what is that |
| 411s | the blood oh the blood's still do |
| 416s | there it is it's paying right now oh my |
| 420s | gosh |
| 423s | so yeah when sterics come online they |
| 425s | change a lot the environment they update |
| 427s | what monsters are in the world |
| 430s | um they create Quest NPCs you can see |
| 433s | Oren he's not normally here we've moved |
| 435s | him for the sake of this |
| 438s | um and then yeah new Pathways can open |
| 440s | up |
| 441s | through the environment |
| 444s | is the bridge moving |
| 446s | yeah |
| 449s | oh my gosh |
| 452s | oh that's nasty what are the vines |
| 456s | uh it's you know it's corruption there's |
| 459s | so a very |
| 462s | a very terrible curse uh is sort of |
| 466s | remaining here after a |
| 468s | uh sort of desperate spell was cast |
| 471s | during the harbinger apocalypse uh you |
| 474s | saw a bit of that spell being replayed |
| 476s | at the top of the tower there |
| 478s | but when the Ancients were advancing |
| 481s | toward the alien Capital where Carfin is |
| 484s | sort of strategically positioned between |
| 485s | where the harbinger Comet landed and the |
| 488s | alien Capital |
| 490s | the Mages here and Carfin was known |
| 492s | throughout the alien Empire for its |
| 494s | magical prowess the head Mage here did a |
| 498s | very desperate and dangerous spell to |
| 501s | slow the Ancients advance and that was |
| 504s | to buy the time for the for the capital |
| 507s | of Ayla where they were building one of |
| 510s | the Divine gateways yeah exactly yes |
| 513s | right they needed more time they needed |
| 516s | they needed to make space for them they |
| 519s | did something pretty terrible to do that |
| 521s | they bought them a time but as you can |
| 523s | see this once great city has suffered |
| 526s | a great cost |
| 528s | wow this is um I like the little jump |
| 530s | puzzle this is awesome |
| 534s | what is that here all the time |
| 537s | um the story arc helped this bridge form |
| 541s | this bridge might also appear if you've |
| 543s | leveled up uh miralith enough to create |
| 546s | kind of this pathway otherwise there's |
| 548s | other ways to get there but more |
| 550s | dangerous ways is that a uh |
| 553s | what is that down there |
| 559s | oh I like how the light just lit up to |
| 562s | showcase the uh |
| 564s | the body that's crazy that's super cool |
| 568s | and the so now the the spawn tables |
| 573s | around the |
| 576s | city of Carfin |
| 578s | have changed as a result of the story |
| 580s | arc progression |
| 582s | right so normally uh when the city is |
| 586s | not in its cursed State you've got a |
| 588s | whole subset of like uh |
| 590s | like constructs and various other like |
| 593s | Arcane things like you saw the animated |
| 595s | armors and stuff like that well the |
| 597s | answers yeah yeah well the curses and |
| 600s | effects we've got these uh watch Holes |
| 603s | um these Seekers here uh who they have |
| 605s | their own sort of story and reason for |
| 607s | being here while the curse is active |
| 610s | um Ultra sneakers yeah yeah |
| 615s | wow oh my God there's someone uh |
| 619s | watchful watching their backs |
| 622s | as they're doing what they're doing |
| 624s | wow |
| 626s | the environment team did an unbelievable |
| 629s | job here I did a killer job on this yeah |
| 632s | this looks so good |
| 637s | it's a blood curse they really took that |
| 640s | personally |
| 641s | they said oh you want to see what |
| 643s | corruption looks like I know |
| 645s | what is talk to us a little bit about |
| 648s | blood Magic versus just normal |
| 650s | corruption |
| 652s | so yeah blood magic is a sort of illegal |
| 656s | kind of magic and using it in any |
| 659s | amounts creates a certain amount of |
| 661s | corruption in the caster |
| 664s | um and that corruption can bleed over |
| 665s | into the environments and things that |
| 666s | they draw Essence from in order to cast |
| 668s | those spells this was uh this is a blood |
| 672s | magic that |
| 673s | obviously consumed a whole heck of a lot |
| 676s | of it she wasn't intending for this kind |
| 679s | of After Effects no no uh |
| 683s | yeah the the major cast of this did not |
| 686s | was not able to understand the scope of |
| 688s | the destruction that that would cause uh |
| 691s | but also in the final you know the final |
| 694s | days of you know ancient Vera during the |
| 696s | harbinger apocalypse like you didn't |
| 699s | have a lot of research there was not a |
| 700s | whole lot of deliberation there wasn't a |
| 702s | lot of uh |
| 703s | a whole lot of like magical research and |
| 705s | safety precautions that they could take |
| 709s | um |
| 710s | so yeah |
| 714s | did his job but you know |
| 717s | yeah it seemed to |
| 719s | um like even if it delayed a lot of the |
| 722s | a lot of the progress they made towards |
| 724s | the portal it seemed like they really |
| 726s | created a lot of Destruction along the |
| 727s | way |
| 730s | uh Carphone itself has a lot of History |
| 732s | built into the environment here too |
| 734s | you'll see lots of statues and stuff |
| 736s | around that uh go into it one of the |
| 740s | five of the five main city-states by |
| 743s | primary city-states of the island people |
| 746s | then they would form into the island |
| 749s | Empire following the Great War of the |
| 751s | undyne with Ancient King aatrax right |
| 754s | now so many people |
| 756s | orange are just like oh my God we're |
| 759s | finally getting lower |
| 762s | oh we could go all day on it if you want |
| 764s | we could yeah no we don't want to give |
| 765s | it all away |
| 768s | well the story uh is kind of told over |
| 771s | the course of four phases four chapters |
| 774s | uh each chapter will update spawns |
| 778s | change the quest givers change what |
| 780s | quests are available and that's across |
| 783s | the server not it's not like your |
| 785s | individual progress |
| 787s | um faces that is the actual quests |
| 789s | themselves you can progress kind of at |
| 791s | your own pace but as long as it's within |
| 793s | the window that quest's phase being |
| 794s | active I mean |
| 797s | who honestly has this much blood to |
| 799s | spare this is crazy this is |
| 802s | we're actually trying to figure out the |
| 804s | signs of like if you took an entire |
| 806s | saves worth of people how many cups of |
| 808s | blood would you have |
| 810s | probably not very many |
| 814s | less than you think but it wouldn't be |
| 815s | as dramatic if we're super realistic |
| 817s | with it oh it's magic |
| 819s | yeah it's magic |
| 821s | persistent and eternal yeah |
| 824s | unless we can do something about this |
| 826s | curse |
| 832s | foreign |
| 839s | if you stopped and talked to Oren and |
| 842s | pick up that Quest or not oh no I did |
| 844s | not oh that's okay I think you still |
| 847s | have how can I all the quests that were |
| 849s | in there before yeah let me grab it what |
| 850s | how do I open my journal again what is |
| 852s | that that's uh it's l l that's right |
| 854s | yeah let's open your journals oh yeah |
| 855s | there we go yeah you can see there's |
| 857s | other story arcs going on as well uh the |
| 860s | phase timers in there indicate how much |
| 862s | real world time is available to like do |
| 865s | the quests in that phase I see um and uh |
| 868s | what quests you do or the quest that you |
| 871s | do like it's not just a matter of |
| 872s | completing the the laundry list of |
| 874s | things that the NPC has you do but you |
| 876s | pick from a whole bunch of objectives |
| 878s | many of them optional some of them if |
| 880s | not most of them hidden when you first |
| 882s | undertake the quest |
| 884s | um so you know go dig up a guide or |
| 885s | Blaze your own trail or whatever but |
| 887s | depending on which objectives you |
| 889s | complete those are the things that help |
| 890s | the server aggregate what is going to |
| 893s | happen in later phases of the story arc |
| 895s | and that's like across all the players |
| 897s | participating |
| 898s | um during that time frame what what |
| 900s | objectives they decide to complete all |
| 902s | right that's what drives what happens in |
| 904s | later |
| 905s | awesome what quests are available what |
| 907s | what NPCs are pulling ahead of other |
| 908s | NPCs in terms of their progress toward |
| 910s | their goals |
| 912s | and how you complete your your quest |
| 915s | matters |
| 916s | yes |
| 917s | yeah with some objectives you know being |
| 919s | exclusive of one another so helping one |
| 921s | NPC will lock you out of helping a |
| 922s | different NPC |
| 924s | um |
| 926s | so yeah it's |
| 927s | no no no |
| 930s | wow I'm just I'm just taking in the |
| 933s | sheer |
| 934s | Beauty but also like a kind of gross |
| 937s | Beauty |
| 938s | um of this environment |
| 942s | it is so eerie |
| 945s | I think even the um corrupted trees you |
| 948s | can Harvest them |
| 951s | you can find some of them that you can |
| 953s | Harvest |
| 955s | and chop them down oh really |
| 959s | yeah they're a little bit hard to spot |
| 961s | though |
| 962s | well also the um |
| 966s | I believe that |
| 968s | as part of these environments changing |
| 971s | you're also activating rare resource |
| 974s | spawners that might only occur during |
| 976s | certain events |
| 978s | yeah that's correct so yeah yeah like |
| 981s | corrupted Soul Bloom |
| 984s | um and there was one that Corey had just |
| 986s | put in |
| 987s | uh all those things are only available |
| 989s | during certain Storyworks and every |
| 990s | Stark has its kind of |
| 992s | special things that you want to try and |
| 994s | take advantage of and that one they're |
| 996s | in your backyard swing by and pick him |
| 998s | up yeah for herbalism for making certain |
| 1000s | potions |
| 1002s | um sometimes you want to take advantage |
| 1003s | of the limited and then you know time |
| 1006s | you have during the story arcs to get |
| 1008s | some of these rare resources for |
| 1009s | crafting things certain poisons and |
| 1012s | potions from these limited uh corrupted |
| 1016s | Spirit balloons right yep |
| 1019s | sorry I just I just disabled my uh my |
| 1021s | HUD right now I want to like this area |
| 1025s | is just too crazy |
| 1028s | huge Tower it looks so good |
| 1032s | Jeremy and Hal and um Adam I think and |
| 1037s | who's who's all working on this um |
| 1040s | Jeremy Zach and Brandon and everybody |
| 1044s | Scott yeah not me Tristan Tristan's |
| 1048s | entire team yeah this is |
| 1050s | absolutely beautiful and talk to me a |
| 1053s | little bit about the dungeon |
| 1055s | so the dungeon and we're heading to |
| 1058s | right here that's the Tower of Carfin |
| 1060s | that is the Mage University that |
| 1063s | following the um War of the undying the |
| 1066s | elves that oh these these humans there's |
| 1068s | there's something to them Let's uh let's |
| 1071s | gift them the uh the gift of magic and |
| 1075s | how let's show them the advanced stuff |
| 1076s | you can see some of that story reflected |
| 1080s | here on these murals |
| 1084s | and we can teach them the way we want to |
| 1086s | teach them |
| 1088s | and the human said yeah show us |
| 1093s | I think we ran by the the demons the |
| 1095s | first teens of them the statues back |
| 1097s | here oh yeah we should go look at this |
| 1103s | the ornate detail in the building have |
| 1106s | so much symbolism attached to them it |
| 1109s | really makes it feel like there's a kind |
| 1111s | of deep life |
| 1117s | oh yeah |
| 1119s | all the former Headmasters these are the |
| 1122s | former University right yeah so this one |
| 1125s | up front here that's uh 10 fillerus Rin |
| 1128s | he's the uh the the elf that came over |
| 1131s | from the elves and uh from the |
| 1135s | perian elves at the time |
| 1137s | and uh you can see he's |
| 1140s | he kind of built the temp the tower for |
| 1142s | him |
| 1143s | uh started training the first students |
| 1148s | and then one of the other Towers is his |
| 1150s | best student |
| 1151s | uh Aristotle we can point out his statue |
| 1155s | in a bit here so he was the first human |
| 1157s | Dean |
| 1158s | and here's this one here you can see him |
| 1161s | kind of with the book open |
| 1164s | that was Aristotle wow the first one |
| 1167s | after 10 felleris went back to the elves |
| 1170s | after a few decades |
| 1172s | we've got |
| 1174s | uh Dean over here is |
| 1178s | the woman that's that's Jennica |
| 1181s | and the good an interesting thing about |
| 1183s | her is that she never died she was into |
| 1186s | teleportation and that was her her big |
| 1189s | area of expertise and she just never |
| 1192s | came back |
| 1202s | then we have one of uh Lamont's Orange |
| 1206s | uh over here that's uh Darwin Darren |
| 1209s | Lamont he was a dean of the student of |
| 1213s | the college |
| 1214s | he looks yeah the wise guy |
| 1217s | um orange family is uh quite |
| 1220s | uh they're quite Central to the to the |
| 1223s | story here there'll be lots of |
| 1225s | opportunities to learn lots of them in |
| 1227s | this story arc actually that is awesome |
| 1228s | yeah and the final one there's uh Clan |
| 1231s | Zander he's he was all into Alchemy so |
| 1233s | that was his area of expertise that he |
| 1235s | really uh oh yeah so if you see a lot of |
| 1239s | um |
| 1240s | maybe some potions in the game with a |
| 1242s | clone or |
| 1243s | you know Zanders so and so that that's |
| 1246s | the guy what do we have here |
| 1250s | just a very normal looking door probably |
| 1253s | nothing terrible oh no I mean this mural |

| 1502s | this is absolutely phenomenal |
| 1508s | yeah this they did an incredible job on |
| 1510s | this it just looks so good |
| 1512s | well is there anything else |
| 1514s | that you guys want to touch on from the |
| 1516s | story arc perspective |
| 1521s | uh oh I guess there's one thing people |
| 1523s | might be curious about I mentioned how |
| 1525s | you could do what you needed to do |
| 1527s | uh as long as the face like you do any |
| 1529s | quests available in that phase while |
| 1531s | that phase is available so what happens |
| 1533s | if you you know Miss something you go on |
| 1535s | vacation or whatever and you can't you |
| 1537s | can't log in during the week to |
| 1538s | participate in the quests that are going |
| 1540s | on in the phase of that story arc |
| 1542s | um for most story arcs they do repeat |
| 1544s | after they complete they'll go on a cool |
| 1545s | down and they will repeat again you can |
| 1547s | you'll have another opportunity to get |
| 1548s | involved with them the next time they |
| 1550s | come through |
| 1551s | um for our big major |
| 1554s | like World spanning story arcs that will |
| 1557s | sort of tell your servers Edition like |
| 1559s | your server's Own Story |
| 1561s | um those ones don't repeat those are |
| 1562s | sort of one and done but you can replay |
| 1564s | them there's a different system for |
| 1566s | replaying |
| 1568s | um previous phases for the big main |
| 1569s | story arcs |
| 1571s | um however decisions and objectives you |
| 1573s | make in those won't count toward your |
| 1575s | servers uh what's canonized for your |
| 1578s | server which is our way of saying you |
| 1581s | know what decisions they make for the |
| 1583s | objectives and stuff that you completed |
| 1584s | and all this goes to really kind of |
| 1589s | creating that experience |
| 1591s | of player agency being excusing being |
| 1594s | seen |
| 1595s | through World building and actually |
| 1597s | changing the locations the environment |
| 1600s | the story and how it influences future |
| 1603s | arcs |
| 1604s | down that path |
| 1606s | for the world to kind of reflect it it |
| 1608s | creates such a unique I feel environment |
| 1610s | between different servers and the the |
| 1613s | histories that they create |
| 1616s | exactly I think |
| 1618s | Jeremy said it really well earlier when |
| 1620s | we were trying to help figure out the |
| 1622s | right words to describe these very |
| 1624s | complicated systems when he said yeah |
| 1627s | there's a different in MMO you have |
| 1629s | different philosophies on kind of |
| 1632s | Storytelling we're going to more old |
| 1633s | school like the world has a story and |
| 1635s | you're playing within the world story |
| 1637s | and in our case you're helping to guide |
| 1640s | that by the decisions that you make |
| 1641s | while doing your quests and the |
| 1643s | different players if one goes one you |
| 1646s | know if a bunch go one way and a few go |
| 1647s | the other way that kind of canonizes |
| 1649s | down that way uh more you know more |
| 1652s | recent MMOs have just focused a story on |
| 1654s | the player and used instance and fading |
| 1656s | you know phasing to tell individual |
| 1658s | stories at different |
| 1660s | um |
| 1661s | times and at different uh |
| 1664s | durations we're we're more old school |
| 1667s | saying the world is evolving you |
| 1670s | participate in how the world story is |
| 1672s | going more on the |
| 1674s | uo and EverQuest and perhaps uh those |
| 1679s | games lineage |
| 1682s | yeah everybody is playing it in the same |
| 1684s | world and the state of that world is |
| 1686s | something that everybody's building |
| 1686s | together all great games absolutely oh |
| 1690s | go ahead I mean sorry |
| 1691s | I was going to say that one of the major |
| 1695s | goals I feel like we have is to is to |
| 1699s | allow player decisions to have |
| 1701s | consequences and to have meaningful uh |
| 1704s | results from |
| 1707s | uh from the decisions that they make so |
| 1710s | it seems like people can really create |
| 1712s | their own stories |
| 1713s | absolutely |
| 1715s | phenomenal work guys well I want to |
| 1717s | thank you three for joining me to help |
