0s	foreign
2s	[Music]
5s	and it's time to explain and this time I
8s	have a whole different crew here with me
10s	uh and like let's get straight to the
13s	presentations uh Ricardo game artist in
16s	the team can you introduce yourself to
18s	the community sure
20s	so hello guys I'm Ricardo uh I come from
23s	Portugal and yeah I do game art but
26s	actually like I also do a lot of like
28s	art producing nowadays so I deal it's
31s	like managing outsourcers stuff like
33s	that most of the game artists in team do
36s	that at this point you know yeah
38s	that's not what so so as fun as it
40s	sounds yeah well you're related to art
42s	yeah but uh yeah bounce back between
44s	like doing concert art you know 3D art
47s	uh helping a bit with implementation and
50s	yeah like working with Fernanda with the
52s	themes but yeah stuff like that speaking
55s	of Fernanda
57s	Mercy yeah I heard that she would be
60s	here the mother of the Brawlers uh
63s	concept artist in the team uh can you
65s	introduce yourself
67s	hi guys I'm Fernanda yeah so I'm from
71s	Brazil and I'm the mother of the
74s	Brawlers are creating Brawlers with
77s	Hakeem my fellow
80s	partner here and uh yeah I do the
84s	Brawlers creation like game mechanics I
87s	also do the art Direction on brawl uh
90s	decide about the things and
92s	skins and crazy ideas for every update
96s	also like IP holding and lower
99s	development of the world and everything
102s	related to this mess funny man amazing
106s	mess that I love but yeah I do a bunch
110s	of everything like also producing stuff
112s	and also uh with the help of here cardo
116s	on a daily basis cool yeah and then as
120s	you said like IP holding can you explain
122s	what that is for the Casual viewer well
126s	the cash one even maybe for myself and
129s	uh yes so my role is basic
132s	um keep the consistence of what was
135s	created for brawl so far and understand
139s	how this world world works and game
143s	based but also like word based the lore
145s	the characters itself how we can expand
148s	this and even thinking about like future
151s	projects and how we're gonna develop the
153s	IP in different Medias and so on so
156s	that's just keeping this big baby safe
160s	and great and really really cool as it
163s	was created
164s	cool and lastly but not leastly yeah
170s	and Leslie yeah and Leslie uh you're a
174s	king a game designer in the team and not
177s	so artistic right but you do a different
179s	kind of art
181s	yeah I'm your Kim nice to meet you and
184s	good to be here and that's Fernando
187s	they're mentioned yeah I have like
189s	mainly working with her on the the
191s	roller designs and then actually like
194s	doing some development and implementing
196s	them so also also doing like some
198s	programming
199s	there and then you know making those
201s	crazy ideas from Fernand that do come
204s	alive some programming some programs
207s	every time I look at this desk he's like
209s	you know just like the Matrix
212s	it's really intimidating and yeah I
215s	think to kick start that uh maybe we can
217s	go through all the brothers you created
219s	because like one of the most pressing
221s	not pressing but like the most asked
223s	question is like for you to share your
226s	Concepts
228s	to see them
230s	and I don't have pressure enough on
233s	daily basis a little bit of fresh but
236s	then maybe we can like talk about like
237s	how what reference were used for each
239s	one of the Brawlers and as you were
241s	speaking we are putting on the screen so
243s	like if you're only listening you are
244s	missing a very important part of this
246s	episode but uh uh yeah we'll be showing
249s	like the concepts on screen as you are
251s	described describing then so we can
253s	start with Lola which is the first
255s	brawler you created Lola yeah Lola was
258s	the first one
260s	um it was funny because I I had more
262s	time to do her and it was during my half
265s	like onboarding understanding the game
267s	the word and everything else but I I
270s	count with like a lot of help uh from
273s	pole understanding how what would be
275s	important to have in a character and he
278s	was also very open to my ideas not about
280s	only Lola but how I would like to
282s	develop the trio itself and also picking
286s	like what kind of archetype would be uh
289s	the most the most interesting to be the
291s	lead so when I came up with this diva
294s	idea like a thinking about the most
297s	clamorous time of Brawley or brolywood
301s	or Hollywood I I was thinking about mix
304s	some stuff that it's very iconic like
306s	Marilyn Monroe and also Hollywood
309s	Boulevard uh this like famous movie from
313s	the 30s or the 20s like the Golden Era
317s	of the cinema and I was trying to bring
320s	that the the very classic iconic
322s	characters with some kind of twist so
326s	Latina I was trying to make some kind of
330s	interesting twist and how these
333s	characters should behave so instead of
335s	being like more calm and classy Lola has
338s	more passion more attitude and has more
341s	like this drama of a diva and and also
345s	like references to Mary morrow in this
347s	in in this epic and also some layers of
350s	Scarface and this kind of movie and I'm
355s	a huge fan of like movies and Cinema in
359s	general like trash movies or her movies
361s	or new movies and uh I have like this
365s	huge backlog on my mind and there's
367s	always some stuff that stick with me
369s	about some characters that I think that
371s	are so it's so very powerful full that
375s	you can always find similarities in
377s	characters like all the time so I'd like
379s	to explore those things and bring a
382s	Different Twist whenever I'm creating a
384s	character so Lola is still still today
386s	is one of my favorite Brawlers so far
388s	like I don't really like her yeah you
391s	answer already one one of the questions
392s	just one now the the other 30. no no but
396s	I I also like it's I remember when we
398s	were creating Lola the things you share
400s	for reference you share some like for
402s	our Brazilian audience
406s	yeah yeah
411s	because of the passion oh I also share
413s	with Martin or like amazing uh audio guy
417s	I saw I shared some references with uh
420s	Azul padura yeah so popular and like
425s	some Paola brachio laughing and I I was
428s	saying I want this kind of passion it's
430s	just kind of crazy and like I don't know
432s	completely in love about herself and I
435s	would like to have like this kind of
437s	behavior and her lines and also adding
440s	some kind of funny twists with the
443s	Scarface and he nailed and understanding
446s	the characters and everything but yeah I
448s	think the reference they always have to
449s	be fun you like that I love how
452s	internet works mixing those references
455s	and I try to do the same in my work
458s	funny story like the Mechanics for her
461s	she has these ego right that started as
464s	a Naruto Naruto reference
467s	hello
469s	like I remember the meeting because you
473s	you weren't uh with us but I just joined
476s	the team and I remember that you were in
478s	the zone like huge
480s	and you proposed this mechanic we were
482s	discussing about brollywood and
486s	you tie my hands here and you propose
489s	this and wow I think this has something
491s	interesting with Persona yeah but you
494s	lied you didn't told me that yeah no no
496s	in the beach I had a picture of a Naruto
500s	character it's not maybe super
501s	recognizable it's these two brothers who
503s	are demons I don't even remember they're
505s	like Orochimaru opinions I don't even
507s	remember since the guy that comes to
509s	Naruto every day no no
512s	um just uh I thought it would make for a
515s	really funny mechanic but it didn't end
516s	up exactly like I was describing it I
519s	think it's better now of course it's
520s	more we're doing the thing already with
521s	when Lola was there no I actually joined
524s	uh a bit after or later but uh I think
527s	actually like Lola was the most recent
530s	brawler that basically like and my one
533s	of my favorites when I kind of like uh
535s	re was reintroduced to brawl like before
538s	I joined supercell and I started playing
541s	more brawl again like after some time uh
545s	Lola was like the latest and then and
547s	brawler then and yeah I really liked her
550s	but I actually worked on hers uh the
552s	second Gadget that was actually one of
553s	my first the swap ah the swap yeah the
556s	swapping Gadget yeah that was one of the
558s	first like things I I did when after
560s	joining the team yeah very collaborative
563s	mechanic I think yeah it works very well
564s	do you have an inspiration for that one
566s	was it I think it was probably like uh
568s	stolen directly from Reddit
573s	yeah
575s	at least he came clean yeah inspired by
578s	they are very transparent as you can see
580s	you know like great things for for you
584s	know all you guys for the users
586s	keeping you walking fast yeah yeah
591s	um and then uh you release a
594s	Grom and who was together with chrome
597s	um it was I would just talk
601s	was it Fang
602s	no no yeah yeah which was fine because
605s	Frank was well the New Year
607s	Ah that's why uh no it makes sense
612s	a fun brawler Fang is amazing Fang is
615s	amazing it just like keep growing oh hey
619s	oh remember when Grandma was broken like
622s	it was OB as well yeah when we were
623s	released him he was the strongest
625s	there's something about his texture also
626s	like something leaked something ah yeah
629s	because he was in the client with the
631s	club League update which we had no
632s	brawler his
634s	um his data or whatever was there in the
637s	client actually right like a working
639s	progression
643s	oh man people are even like is this
646s	official because the face house is like
648s	yeah completely like hand painted but
651s	what is the inspiration for grown grown
655s	and what is what is the trauma he has
657s	with his grandma was probably what's the
661s	name of that movie kindergarten ah yeah
663s	with Schwarzenegger and I I was I was
667s	trying to have like this big guy with
669s	some trauma that is usually like those
673s	Heroes action heroes they usually have
675s	like those trauma and memories from the
677s	war and I was trying to think about
679s	something else that could be very like
681s	traumatic and intense like a
683s	kindergarten teacher and with this fear
687s	of kids like when he hear the screams
689s	and breaking everything like this kind
691s	of stuff would be fun and it's funny
693s	because he ended up working a theme park
695s	so there's only kids running around so
698s	he's always in pain and under a lot of
701s	stress so yeah and and also the funny
704s	thing about his eyes having like this
707s	crazy eyes look with the creep smile
710s	traumatized that's why he has to hide it
712s	so the rice it looks very scary and we
715s	actually modeled the whole head his
716s	whole head right now so we had to draw
719s	like his haircut and stuff he even has
721s	like hair kind of cut so you can see in
723s	the animation when he jumps you can see
725s	a bit of his face a little bit Yeah but
726s	it never like the hoodie never really
728s	goes down all the way but uh Key's whole
731s	head is modeled which is a waste of
733s	geometry
766s	the best thing about Fang was the
769s	reference you shared which was like this
771s	Michael Jackson thing right yeah
773s	personator oh it's impressive I can't
775s	remember that I remember uh the team it
779s	was this I don't know where this video
781s	is a video it's a meme with this Michael
783s	Jackson dancing on a
789s	yeah and then he that that was the score
793s	of the idea he's doing some Michael
795s	Jackson moves and then he kicks the do
799s	some kicking moving and the shoe goes
801s	off and he runs I was like this is
803s	perfect
804s	and we used I always wonder where that
807s	like where did you get the idea for the
809s	truth and that actually was one of my
811s	like like
812s	most of the you know most of the
815s	Fernando's designs start off with a meme
818s	or something yeah but it's not even like
820s	a popular meme it's just some like
822s	cryptic Brazilian thing I don't know
824s	it's a very peculiar sense of humor sure
827s	but that's the thing like because we had
828s	I had other preferences like the La cop
832s	Hollywood Cop I don't know ah yeah the
834s	Eddie Murphy yeah Ed Murphy movie like
838s	so he has like this cool guy kind of
841s	Vibes and but he's obsessed about
842s	martial arts but the thing about just
845s	doing a brawler like martial arts
847s	like stars we need a fun twist so
851s	Michael Jackson would like sprinkle from
853s	Michael Jackson Mimi on top yeah so the
856s	shoe was like from the from the start
858s	that the concept like on the gameplay
860s	because like you know you could think
861s	like it's kind of like almost felt like
863s	that maybe there was like a gameplay
865s	idea of this brawler that kicks but or
869s	then there was like this kind of
870s	prototype of a brawler that shoots but
872s	then like he kind of needed to adjust
874s	adjust yeah yeah uh the design but yeah
878s	I remember like a heater discussion we
880s	had that you know I remember even Felix
882s	talking about like how can we make like
884s	the kicks like just flying kicking or
887s	like like shooting like this like uh
889s	Force pulse kind of thing you know like
891s	this energy balm or something we
893s	consider that as well but then because
895s	he just like his shoes just respawn you
897s	know well which is
903s	it actually comes no no it comes off and
905s	then immediately spawns another yeah
907s	yeah it's like infinite shoe mode yeah
909s	yeah he should make money off of it you
911s	know just selling start the business the
915s	shoe with the Fang shoes there's a swag
918s	here yeah that was one thing I would
920s	love to I have a place to put popcorn I
922s	say that on the routine and they were
924s	laughing at me no nothing yeah
928s	yeah so it can be like popcorn smelling
931s	like cheese
934s	sure
935s	it's fine very hygienic
938s	I was thinking of an actual uh sneaker
940s	yeah that's what she means but with a
943s	pocket in front Okay
945s	okay
947s	to walk in the office and put some
949s	snacks you can put other stuff doesn't
951s	need to be popcorn sure
954s	then uh do you want to talk about more
957s	about finger should they go to the next
958s	one
959s	yeah what else we can talk about yeah
961s	that's a bunch of cool stuff
969s	yeah all even the first sketches when uh
973s	because I usually do this kind of posing
975s	sketches to feel the vibe of the
977s	character like to also understand more
980s	about his personality this is something
982s	that right now I don't have that much
984s	time but I usually do a lot like I did a
987s	lot with Lola a bunch of like
989s	um character Expressions acting poses
992s	because it helps the animators like to
995s	to think about ideas about this
997s	character and also like to it's almost
999s	you show one drawing and then you
1001s	explain about this character it's hard
1004s	to make people like read characters so I
1006s	I'd like to to make this kind of stuff
1008s	to to give a chance to the brawler to
1011s	introduce himself with the sketches so I
1013s	did that a lot and also Bruce Lee and
1017s	Jackie Chan was also like major
1019s	references for him because he represents
1021s	like the the turbo theater there is the
1024s	area about action movies so like to have
1027s	something about badass cool for like
1030s	Kung Fu like art Marshall movies and
1033s	like those big guys with machine guns
1036s	and also the herrings like the true
1040s	heroes and in this genre so I was
1044s	thinking about three different
1046s	directions for that so let me see and
1048s	he's not um
1050s	he's a wannabe actor or he's an actor or
1053s	a like Steven seagull
1056s	hey yes
1058s	amazing
1061s	because similarly
1064s	and yeah I think in this area they are
1067s	passionate about movies so I think Fang
1069s	is the closest one the one that actually
1072s	has maybe a real chance to be an actor
1074s	oh like a buster has got to yeah all
1076s	right out of the books Buster is more
1080s	like the the funny friend you know that
1082s	supports like yeah we too we're gonna do
1084s	this but like the guy that has more
1086s	chances obviously thanks so they
1088s	actually want to be actors yeah saying
1090s	more more and like having this chance on
1093s	on brollywood
1095s	but yeah it would be something like this
1097s	I have to go too
1099s	yeah this is like jails having to talk
1103s	about do you know this person yeah we
1105s	are answering lots of questions already
1107s	because there is a what is the process
1109s	of creating a browser reference so like
1110s	if you go through all of them I guess we
1112s	answer oh no question already but I
1114s	think I'm refreshing my memory and you
1117s	guys have to help me because yeah it's a
1119s	lot
1120s	but let's and we are soon getting to
1123s	your first brother design but not yet
1125s	not yet now it's eve eve yeah well I was
1129s	already there uh when he was worked on
1132s	but uh that was while I was working on
1134s	the new gadgets the second gadgets then
1137s	so I was kind of like but I was almost
1140s	getting close
1143s	Eve yeah Eve was I was I had some ideas
1148s	for Eve like when I was doing my my test
1151s	for brawl uh I think one of the the
1154s	possible trios like when when I received
1157s	my test was uh roughs and then I had
1160s	some ideas but it wasn't Eve but some
1163s	references in mind
1165s	so that guy from
1168s	Jesus um
1170s	Space Ghost from coast to coast there's
1173s	this weird bug I forgot his name
1176s	yeah yeah and because I was thinking
1179s	references going are but because I was
1183s	thinking like the the fun thing about
1185s	Rufus is like we have this like dog
1188s	Universe like with the with the girl and
1191s	a dog itself and the Space theme I was
1195s	thinking about something cool as in some
1197s	kind of Arc enemy would be like an alien
1200s	and like the the but not a cat because
1202s	it's too obvious and and something that
1205s	we could play with the alien concept
1207s	like a bug so uh Eve is this flea that
1211s	wants to colonize roughs pudding eggs on
1215s	him to raise her babies so we can you
1219s	know huge fan of alien franchise so I
1223s	was even talking those days that I
1225s	should make Eve a bit more looking like
1227s	an alien like a xenomorph yeah because
1230s	it would be so cute but yeah I ended up
1233s	using like some of the concepts like the
1235s	eggs even the shape of the eggs I was
1237s	trying to do something close to that
1239s	ended up being a bit more close to
1241s	Metroid but I also like the design so I
1244s	I think it works so she ended up being
1246s	like this cute little
1249s	spacefully yeah and you introduce a new
1251s	body type for it right like yeah the
1253s	roller has that I mean now Hank yeah now
1257s	I think that answer another question are
1260s	they the same size
1261s	yeah they are the things either
1264s	with the question yeah right well It's
1268s	tricky because like in kinda
1271s	wow explain that I picked the wrong
1275s	button
1276s	nothing happened I thought it was did we
1280s	say something uh beep yeah you said
1283s	after that but uh but yeah like the the
1286s	models are made with a certain size but
1289s	then when they're implemented in the
1291s	build they might be the sizes might
1294s	change for gameplay purposes and stuff
1296s	and we consider the Canon size is the
1299s	the one in the build you know not the
1301s	one in the model but the model uses the
1304s	same size yeah but I'm not sure
1305s	proportions I think yeah
1308s	so it remains a mystery yeah it's all
1310s	miniminary someone needs to actually
1313s	measure
1314s	I have to put them together maybe in
1317s	animation and stuff then that would be
1319s	the accurate It's tricky because the
1321s	tank like we scaled the tank uh a lot to
1324s	test right like what the ideal size
1326s	would be so Hank scaled alongside it you
1329s	know so yeah it might not be exactly the
1331s	same as Eve at this point
1334s	so I guess we are like more open to a
1337s	brawler ideas that are like alien than
1339s	cats or dogs right so I still want to
1343s	make a more clear reference to the alien
1346s	franchise the next problem so Mario
1348s	isn't coming more
1349s	at least the something close to that
1352s	because that's my passion I have to I
1355s	have to do this you heard it here first
1358s	right now it's time for your kings to
1362s	shine it's a bony and Janet
1365s	[Music]
1367s	you did both
1368s	no I actually I uh worked on Bonnie yeah
1372s	yeah Santos working still on Janet where
1375s	we were working on the same time
1377s	so Bonnie was the first roller I I
1379s	worked on and I I think that was
1381s	actually um
1382s	uh really interesting to think about the
1385s	pipeline how we work on here but because
1387s	I was like new join to the team uh I
1391s	kind of jumped to directly like
1393s	fernanda's design
1394s	here so Fernando just like
1397s	showed showed the team her design and
1400s	and then like it was like well now make
1403s	it work in game and figure out all the
1406s	tests it's a bit more friendly yeah yeah
1409s	but it was I I think the the initial
1413s	concept already from the was really
1415s	strong like with that the girl and a
1417s	tiny girl in the Canon shooting herself
1420s	I guess that was kind of the yeah
1423s	and then from there it was like a really
1425s	natural to
1426s	come up with the mechanics and I guess
1428s	they're like on the gameplay side what I
1430s	wanted to emphasize was kind of the
1432s	contrast between the two modes to have
1434s	the slow and like heavy
1436s	mode and then like small and fast uh
1440s	mode and then it's kind of switching
1442s	between those two
1445s	was it part of the concept already that
1447s	she was shooting her own feet this
1450s	encapsulates you know Fernando's outside
1452s	of the box thinking it's like I can't
1456s	think of a better example it's like I
1458s	don't what does she shoot
1461s	the funny thing the the truth about
1464s	Bonnie is that when I I had this idea
1467s	about exploring two Brawlers at the same
1470s	time for this Trio specifically because
1472s	like the family thing and everything I
1474s	was like yeah maybe we can came up with
1476s	like sisters brothers siblings yeah and
1479s	I had some Clear Vision for Janet and I
1483s	started with her but when it comes to
1486s	Bonnie I wasn't having like any fun idea
1489s	anything that was like catching me and I
1492s	I remember that I did some Explorations
1494s	I think was like the slingshot stuff or
1497s	yeah I was like kind of sketching
1499s	something around that but I wasn't happy
1502s	but then I don't know in two days of
1505s	Despair I think Panic it might have a
1509s	sketch
1510s	of one meeting I think one weekly I was
1514s	sketching Bonnie's idea and Pavel start
1517s	to record when I was sketching in my in
1521s	my Sketchbook I think recording what I
1523s	was sketching during the meeting not
1525s	paying attention
1528s	and father started to record and I if
1531s	I'm not mistaken that was one of the
1533s	first sketches of Bonnie because I was
1535s	like okay maybe she just throw herself
1537s	out of the canal and she just kind of
1539s	suicidal like we can play I don't know
1541s	with something destroyed and then came
1544s	this idea about like the missing tooth
1546s	and then like why not use the tooth
1549s	itself to be some kind of I don't know
1552s	yeah weapon is there a connection
1553s	between you know fangs spawning
1555s	respawning shoes
1561s	but I remember yeah like we had like a
1563s	bit of a trouble and then and we did
1565s	like some brainstorming there around
1567s	like exactly like should she like shoot
1571s	herself from the cannon or should she
1573s	like just switch between these two modes
1576s	or or how should that work like how is
1579s	she controlling the like the cannon is
1583s	she actually like perfectly remember
1584s	that did you even consider like her
1586s	coming back to it somehow like yeah yeah
1588s	we we did like go back and forth a bit
1591s	on that and it was actually quite
1592s	difficult to kind of actually we ended
1594s	up with a more simpler design at the end
1597s	how it is now uh but we like tried
1600s	different kind of things and and like
1603s	maybe they kind of would have been a pet
1605s	like instead and so on but uh actually I
1608s	have a question for Fernanda like did
1609s	you anticipate that Janet would become
1611s	so popular you know she's one I think
1613s	from my perspective she's one of the
1614s	most popular in the community right yeah
1616s	a lot of Fine Arts this female brother
1618s	is one of them
1620s	it was completely I was Bonnie is one of
1624s	my favorites and I I was more like
1627s	aiming to her but
1629s	yeah but I don't know why Janet is
1631s	popular I don't know if we want to go
1633s	there
1635s	but like it makes all right there was a
1638s	lot of talk about that splash screen
1639s	yeah because yeah when when when like we
1642s	released the brawler like a bunch of fan
1644s	arts was kind of
1646s	yeah I was like she's a teenager guys
1650s	but yeah but also like it makes sense
1654s	because she she's a pop star right yeah
1656s	it's almost like a Taylor Swift yeah
1658s	yeah kind of vibe so yeah it's
1660s	understandable and when you create like
1663s	when you're creating Janet was it
1665s	already in your mind that there will be
1667s	long tools to streel
1669s	uh yeah okay the idea was like it's
1672s	still being like this Father Figure
1674s	because it's so it's really funny yeah
1676s	like it would be interesting like in in
1680s	that Trio specifically like bring other
1682s	Brawlers with some similarities about
1685s	the stunt show thing I think it would be
1687s	not hard to compete with stew but uh
1691s	like risking to be too similar yeah the
1694s	same story like it's a place where
1696s	people go to do stunts and I don't know
1698s	get hurt so how can even Bonnie Bonnie
1701s	do this kind of the same thing as stew
1703s	which is not drunk
1704s	but it's kind of the same idea but with
1707s	a cute twist so it was like two
1710s	different directions for the same
1712s	subjects and I think the family stuff
1714s	and also like it's heavily inspired by
1717s	the 70s so I could take a look at Jetson
1720s	stuff like even to do her both vignette
1724s	yeah I was checking some Jetsons
1726s	references and doing like different
1728s	concepts with this vintage look so and
1731s	it she was like the 55th role or
1733s	something like that like it blew my mind
1735s	back then that it was the first time we
1737s	used the jet pack you know like
1741s	a single jet pack that's true that's
1744s	true both brothers were like very
1746s	different yeah we had the jet pack like
1748s	first time with this flying thing no we
1750s	had flying with Eve before yeah but she
1753s	didn't yeah yeah
1755s	you've actually applied this over the
1757s	water right yeah so that's her special
1759s	thing yeah but I remember playing Janet
1761s	first time when she uh started flying
1764s	like it was everybody was laughing it
1766s	was so fun it was like so different from
1768s	everything else right and it she like in
1771s	the first prototype I remember she was
1772s	like flying for 20 seconds
1775s	like everybody was just flying
1779s	like if you have the option to fly you
1781s	just fly yeah yeah you just fly you
1783s	don't she's still annoying like that
1784s	like especially in gem grab she grabbed
1787s	yeah
1788s	she's gone yep
1791s	um
1794s	yeah
1796s	Otis uh Jesus moral I'm just going to
1801s	files yeah
1804s	Otis we had this area in fact for this
1807s	area I remember that I had planned a
1809s	completely different theme yeah because
1812s	we had the water park the dinosaurs
1816s	area and we supposed to have more two
1819s	kind of related with this water theme
1821s	and it has something more I don't know
1824s	kind of like science like exploration
1827s	deep sea exploration exploration but I
1830s	was thinking about do something like
1833s	with the underworld like the sewers and
1835s	Star Park and I made this concept about
1838s	like toxic garbage plants it's called
1842s	the dump the dump yeah dump C maybe we
1845s	set up the future somewhere well we just
1848s	spoiled it now it's even deeper yeah
1850s	it's even deeper yeah yeah it was really
1852s	cool because I
1854s	people who knows like knows me knows
1856s	that I kind of like trash
1859s	I like the idea weird obsession with
1861s	like trash bins
1863s	trash is very much
1865s	yeah yeah it's her favorite design I
1868s	think like we're going quite back and
1870s	forth exactly on this with Fernanda like
1873s	uh trying to bring trash to an
1876s	environment well well yeah about the
1878s	original like brawler designs and also
1881s	on gameplay perspective or like kind of
1883s	really different the like I remember we
1886s	talked already then like
1888s	um like about this character who would
1890s	be not diving suit and have like a big
1893s	like uh anchor as a weapon and that
1897s	actually like what uh I was like
1899s	prototyping a gameplay idea of of like
1902s	this brawler with the big anchor who
1904s	could throw that anchor and it would
1907s	actually land on ground and stay there
1908s	and then he could go and pick it up and
1911s	now you might guess
1913s	that was uh Sam but we then introduced
1916s	those mechanics actually later yeah and
1919s	and then we had the other idea of this
1921s	deep sea mine and and that's kind of
1924s	where the silence did come out and and
1926s	that kind of mechanics then turned into
1928s	the oldest I was so excited about this
1931s	area because we had this discussion and
1933s	we talked about the mine even the guy
1935s	kind of looking like Ali yeah with the
1937s	mess
1940s	and for us like we were super excited
1943s	but then when I presented to the team I
1946s	felt like some kind of not so excitement
1949s	in the room but if if because it was we
1952s	were comparing with uh Otis and notice
1955s	was like so cute yeah with a massive
1958s	head and like the other guy is just Ali
1960s	it's just like a member from the thing
1962s	no but I mean like it's because it's
1964s	just a human being yeah because I I also
1967s	put like a sketch of artists and artists
1969s	was more like appealing or cute I'm sure
1972s	that was why like I remember if she
1973s	means when we ditched the like the deep
1976s	sea dump idea yeah I think it was like
1978s	and also the summer Vibes yeah we had
1980s	this discussion so like are we bringing
1983s	zeros this summer yeah you cannot bring
1986s	trash whatever I I don't see a problem
1988s	well every place has garbage it's a part
1991s	of life
1993s	I mean depending on the beach that you
1995s	go
1996s	in there so maybe that's why I made this
1999s	connection not always making like the
2001s	commentary Society
2003s	but yeah but at the end was like okay
2007s	this is not working but then I start to
2010s	work again on autism and we find this
2012s	direction about being like a street art
2014s	because also like this deep sea
2018s	paint brawl this area like being dark
2021s	and a bit more far in the park I would
2023s	like to explore like okay what kind of
2026s	character would be there to hide and for
2028s	different reasons so autism is like this
2031s	kind of Banksy inspired uh brawler that
2035s	he has like this not second life but
2038s	this he is this creature totally Human
2041s	by the way totally human human as you
2043s	can see yeah inside like this diving
2046s	suit like making his own art like
2048s	spreading his tag I'm also a big fan of
2051s	graffiti and pea shop
2053s	so I would like to bring something
2055s	interesting for this brawler like with
2057s	different reasons to be there and also
2060s	play with the thing about a paint bra is
2062s	usually like people shooting people so
2064s	he could do the shooting thing with ink
2067s	but with like an artistic View kind of
2070s	thing so I think that would be a
2073s	different Twist on that area and after
2076s	that with Frank Frank is also Frank
2079s	Jesus Hank Hank is also there for
2083s	different reasons yeah escaping from
2085s	kitchen so pink bro area is like this
2089s	war area that people go there to kind of
2092s	hide in yeah and this one also had like
2095s	these the whole vibe of this environment
2097s	was like this Street Music yes
2101s	Beastie Boys I remember that I was
2103s	sharing some references of BC boys for
2105s	the loading screen with the fish eye
2107s	camera yeah and everything and uh where
2110s	did the idea for seal come from Seal
2113s	Seal is because of instancio
2116s	and I was explaining to King like she's
2120s	gonna be like this and then he splashes
2122s	the ink and yeah explaining his tension
2124s	I have a question does he like to be
2127s	splashed
2133s	splashed on the face
2136s	didn't you say that she just stands
2137s	there no but she she works as like this
2140s	not assistant but some kind of partner
2143s	doing art yeah so I'm saying she hates
2145s	her job
2146s	she have fun see so she likes being
2148s	splashed yeah yeah we can say that legit
2150s	question
2151s	to an artist
2154s	um and then after that we had sem which
2158s	is like you explain the mechanic and Gus
2161s	came along with Sam on the same update
2165s	now we have to talk about two two
2166s	process at the same time now now it
2170s	starts the no time to explain for real
2172s	yeah we have to work into Brawlers at
2175s	the same time and it was more intense
2177s	our process for sure yeah because it's
2180s	usually I I say to walking like okay I
2183s	have those two ideas and we usually
2185s	discuss one week about one and do this
2187s	back and forth like I propose more stuff
2190s	show references videos and stuff that I
2192s	think that might work as a mechanic and
2194s	why he's working on one I have to jump
2196s	in another one and sometimes dig into a
2199s	completely different direction like for
2201s	Gus for example so this actually like
2203s	answers a bit of the the process like
2205s	question four of the process how do we
2208s	create the brawler so so there's the
2210s	there's this kind of moment of chaos
2211s	where fernandan and I like Clash and
2214s	then we try to like you know make the
2217s	brawler actually like yeah uh from that
2222s	and it's uh
2223s	yeah I guess I could give like an
2225s	example for example a good example is
2227s	this uh Sam on that idea because I had
2230s	this original like uh concept and on
2233s	gameplay side already earlier with this
2236s	like more like a dwarf or like brawler
2238s	with a big ax and can throw that ax
2241s	and and and then he would be like
2243s	swinging that ax and have like this big
2245s	uh distinct thing like uh attack that is
2249s	low and heavy and then he when he has
2251s	thrown the ax he's uh attack would be
2253s	just bare Feast so it would be fast but
2256s	like not as effective that was kind of
2258s	the the initial idea but if we're not
2260s	like I was like ah
2261s	that that ax will not work not
2265s	interesting enough like so yeah like
2267s	what do you think about this fist
2268s	weapons and uh
2271s	traps yeah what they are bear traps and
2273s	then like okay let's start uh from
2276s	scratch but yeah that we actually like
2278s	yeah no we managed to yeah but I I I'm
2281s	very happy when you got when you when
2284s	you laugh about my ideas to me that's
2286s	the thermometer it's like okay I have
2288s	other things to propose let's see this
2289s	this is also fun and then like usually
2292s	joke is up that's cool like we he came
2294s	up with more funny stuff on top of that
2296s	because I think if you don't have like
2298s	this kind of synergy it became something
2301s	like okay this is not working I have to
2303s	find another solution and it's just like
2305s	it's a task a problem that you have to
2307s	solve well when we are having fun it's
2309s	more like okay I don't know like you
2313s	sometimes say that I don't know how can
2316s	this work but it's fun so let's try so
2319s	at least you are engaged to make it
2322s	happen yeah I think you kind of like
2324s	work well in that sense that that you
2326s	usually bring the crazy idea as ideas
2329s	out and then I'm more more of the break
2332s	I feel and I like my ideas are like
2335s	completely boring
2337s	many times but but then you know you
2340s	might like yeah and yes then something
2342s	and turn them to something interesting
2344s	and then not like that yeah and then I
2347s	have to give a heads up that Ricardo
2349s	it's my my water it's always the rubber
2354s	duck because when I'm when I'm sketching
2356s	and I got stuck with some designs or
2358s	some ideas that I think it's boring or
2360s	not there yet I always call like a car
2363s	to come here and like that just stand
2365s	there quiet while I talk to you it's
2368s	almost like okay judge me like what do
2370s	you think this is garbage what do you
2372s	think and it's funny when he says like
2375s	hey do you know this character from this
2376s	anime or from this movie
2379s	I usually don't know everything's not a
2382s	reference oh no it's kind of funny that
2384s	some of her characters look kind of
2387s	resemble some like very famous or kind
2390s	of you know very good uh anime
2392s	characters but she doesn't know this I
2394s	know for a fact she doesn't know them
2396s	perfect but for a fact absolutely
2398s	absolutely which is really funny and I
2400s	think that it's because like these uh
2402s	mangakas you know the artists who
2404s	created these mangas have the same like
2406s	visual libraries for them you know they
2408s	grew up on the same like loving the same
2410s	things so they kind of like have these
2412s	shared common knowledge yeah yeah which
2415s	is really interesting let's see yeah
2416s	yeah I hope so but talking about like
2419s	the sun mechanic like uh because like
2422s	you said like boring ideas anything I
2424s	think like uh creators were talking that
2426s	uh I didn't think you could make another
2428s	melee brother interesting and they were
2431s	really
2432s	um happy with the fact that start with
2433s	super so like he creates a different
2435s	Dynamic and then he plays totally
2438s	different because it's basically
2439s	throwing that thing and going after it
2441s	all the time right so it it plays
2443s	differently from every other brother I
2445s	think because there's some required more
2447s	play testing than usual and then we went
2449s	yeah quite a few iterations of him on
2453s	the mechanic side mainly I think in in
2456s	Brawl it's really difficult to exactly
2458s	come into come like viable uh new melee
2462s	Brawlers uh to introduce them and for
2465s	some exactly we had many time in the
2468s	first play this this issue that it was
2470s	just hard to get to your opponent
2472s	without having some kind of huge
2474s	movements in killer jump but then
2476s	actually I think in one of those play
2478s	tests I don't remember remember from
2480s	where or from whom but this idea of did
2482s	like what if uh he would actually have
2485s	already supercharged so that would help
2487s	him then the Ghana get closer to his
2489s	enemies too and yeah I think he's one of
2492s	the most fun Brawlers yeah he's top tier
2495s	for me yeah
2497s	and Gus
2499s	Gus
2501s	gorillas yeah it was it was like I'm a
2506s	huge fan of gorillas like my my whole
2508s	life my whole not my whole life but the
2511s	important part of it just to be clear
2514s	yeah
2515s	I love monkeys I love monkeys my whole
2519s	life yeah and like Jamie Hewlett and
2522s	everything when when I was like
2523s	sketching this thinking about like
2526s	something cute creepy it was I remember
2530s	that I did some sketches and I showed to
2532s	Frank and he was like ah this has some
2534s	gorillas Vibe and it wasn't yeah but
2538s	ended up having like this this feeling
2540s	and I was like good good sign I think
2543s	that would be a good direction it's the
2546s	clothes actually he looks he dressed
2548s	like one of them yeah like the saturated
2550s	like there's some 2D Vibes on him like
2553s	the eyes kind of sad did he have always
2556s	the the balloons from the worry yes
2558s	initial sketch in his first catch he has
2560s	like a bunch of Thunder balloons
2561s	different balloons that's supposed to be
2564s	different ghosts and he's like this kid
2566s	holding them
2568s	you know it's very creepy I remember
2571s	there was like this kind of a sketch you
2574s	were playing with with like this big
2576s	ground more like a Mario ghost kind of
2579s	thing like big one yeah he also had this
2582s	idea about the ghost like swallowing
2584s	like this Mario reference damn it went
2586s	through so many iterations I remember
2588s	yeah like at this point like I remember
2590s	one of the design ideas you had it was
2592s	you right it was working on it or no
2594s	yeah I was working on both like the
2597s	balloon was increasing in size remember
2599s	every time you hit yeah yeah charging
2602s	something yeah it's easily charged yeah
2604s	yeah so we had the idea that the balloon
2606s	he's carrying would like actually like
2608s	grow uh while he's he's doing damage I
2611s	remember that yeah also like a lot of
2613s	pain during the animation to make
2615s	movement with the balloon it was quite
2618s	complex and this actually comes to the
2621s	the funny like a problem we always or
2624s	challenge we like struggle quite often
2626s	that this like as mentioned that we
2629s	don't have any magic in in Brawl Stars
2631s	uh Universe right so so actually the
2634s	original
2635s	prototype for Gus was called uh like
2639s	Shadow priest and and again like really
2642s	completely yeah how DND
2646s	I was had it in a concept like saying it
2649s	said something like is casting like some
2651s	kind of Shadow balls that drain the
2653s	enemy's life and spawns these kind of
2655s	souls or something and then like foreign
2658s	like like what you could manage to come
2661s	up with there like
2662s	to have the balloons and then makes like
2665s	you know total sense now like that he
2668s	throws those balloons and traps the
2669s	souls uh to the balloons and then you
2672s	can pop the balloons and you know it was
2674s	awesome I think and he's definitely one
2677s	of my favorite Brawlers yeah he's really
2679s	cool and he plays pretty well as well
2681s	yeah
2682s	um healers are boring he's a cool healer
2685s	actually Byron is the best dealer yeah
2688s	viral he got nerfed to the ground for a
2691s	guy yeah
2694s	I will convince you someday maybe with
2697s	the legendary
2698s	uh healer ah listen there you have a
2701s	designer I have few I feel happy this is
2704s	not like a
2705s	spoilers they are just just here they're
2708s	just living time not a matter of time
2711s	yeah a matter of time then you release
2714s	buster
2716s	yeah Buster but women should be I always
2720s	had oh by the way the first brawler for
2723s	the turbo theater
2725s	that I had in mind was Buster but sir
2727s	changed a lot yeah yeah
2729s	it was more like humble Vibes and I did
2734s	this sketch of a guy holding the most
2736s	checklist like this
2737s	yeah it was here like a projector like a
2740s	bazooka yeah and you have an x on his
2743s	face right yeah x-ray his face and but
2745s	the hair was quite similar like this
2749s	yeah and I oh I I presented him in the
2754s	Summers the some artist update
2757s	as like what I was planning for the
2759s	future but we couldn't make him for this
2761s	that update and we were just postponing
2763s	possible I think one day like finally uh
2767s	we we could make him and it was always
2769s	like the idea to have like this duel
2771s	like this uh what's the name of that
2775s	movie with uh Keanu Reeves and Abby went
2778s	that yeah like this but Vibe was always
2781s	like the idea and it ended up being nice
2785s	that uh we have Fang first and then
2788s	Buster because I think was more like a
2790s	fun like duel and
2794s	um Buster is also like heavily inspired
2796s	by Schwarzenegger Sylvester Stallone all
2799s	those guys and like those uh action
2803s	heroes like buffed and that he's
2806s	obsessed by and the guy from it lives no
2810s	it lives no it leaves never mind oh yeah
2813s	the glasses I think it's they leave they
2817s	leave they leave this guy that the
2820s	glasses amazing moving
2823s	did Buster have like from the very
2826s	beginning from the first concept like
2828s	that the camera yeah yeah
2831s	it was always the camera it's not a
2833s	camera we didn't even try to his name
2835s	was cameras
2837s	we changed it because it was confusing
2839s	yeah because it's not the camera yeah
2841s	and you guys you save with the name
2843s	Buster because you got oh this can be
2845s	more like a blockbuster yeah Blockbuster
2847s	and Buster means strong or something
2849s	yeah it's tough I think it's a good
2851s	sidekick name good side because I think
2853s	there was like actually like some
2855s	original prototypes for him that was
2858s	like totally different yeah uh like here
2861s	it was like damage dealer long range
2864s	shooting like yeah something yeah I
2868s	think it changed a lot he's his
2869s	mechanics until because at first was
2871s	like the Bazooka thing so it was more
2874s	shooting it wasn't supposed to be like a
2876s	shield but then we changed the projector
2879s	even the weapon was like a lot of
2881s	interactions until you have the final I
2883s	think it was like after we had like some
2885s	discussions that what we had been
2887s	releasing the Brawlers like a mechanic
2889s	side
2890s	on the game and and there had not been
2892s	like any tanks really for a long time
2894s	and there was like already also from a
2896s	community like that we feel like we need
2898s	to do a tank next
2900s	so then even though Buster was not like
2903s	necessary from the beginning like meant
2905s	to be or the first concept was not like
2908s	necessary a tank or that he would have
2910s	tank mechanics this is also something
2912s	funny which I find funny which is like
2915s	um a buster is probably the smallest
2917s	tank you know just like uh like Grom is
2920s	the biggest thrower you know and for not
2922s	always plays with these kind of Market
2924s	times but he's supposed to be more
2925s	chubby yeah we always discussed that
2927s	that when the illustrations picture him
2929s	like smaller a bit more skin is like
2931s	yeah
2933s	yeah bigger it's not it's not the same
2935s	mother was called she went on a diet you
2937s	know yeah and we developed him when he
2940s	joined raw Stars he was in a diet
2943s	and I was getting getting some weight no
2945s	but I think like the fun artists they
2947s	kind of get this Spirit of because he
2949s	often appears with like the belly like
2952s	of the pants anything like that yeah and
2955s	I think this through like uh Buster Fang
2957s	and Maisie they have the like the best
2959s	fan art yeah it's really cool to see
2962s	like the stories that the community came
2964s	up yeah when the community community was
2966s	puzzled if it was like Lola
2969s	um Buster and Fang as a trio they were
2972s	also creating something funny because
2974s	like Lola is like this oh my God these
2976s	guys again it's amazing replace uh with
2978s	the same Vibe uh but yeah like the
2981s	interaction that they have together is
2982s	really cool and I think like when we
2984s	post like uh when we announced that they
2987s	are like a bromance because like people
2988s	don't understand the meaning of romance
2990s	like very good friends yeah to the
2992s	almost like a relationship right but um
2995s	and then like once we posted that then
2997s	like Fang and Buster are always together
2999s	like having pizza night or whatever or
3002s	something it's really cool it's really
3004s	cool yeah and I love the idea of the
3006s	they haven't this Pro means I think yeah
3008s	yeah
3012s	um next one uh there is three in a row
3015s	so like you're talking about like having
3017s	two was like a chaos yeah
3023s	yeah this one I think the reason why
3026s	gray is black and white I was using a
3029s	lot of color on Mandy and chess I was
3031s	like no I guess you were going to say I
3033s	thought you were gonna say it's gonna be
3034s	easy no time yeah there's no time black
3036s	and white yeah it's like let's go with
3038s	black and white it's true that the plate
3040s	was like color overload yeah Mandy and
3043s	Chester yeah like the environment you
3045s	had it was slowly enough colors yeah
3048s	there's a lot of chaos but the the good
3051s	thing is that things mainly and Chester
3053s	are part of the same Trio yeah I could
3056s	think about both at the same time also
3058s	it's it's easy in a way but it's also
3061s	tricky because you can you can have some
3064s	overlappings like it's almost you're
3067s	creating swings in a way I think with
3069s	Janet and Bonnie they they became a bit
3071s	more far but with with Chester and Andy
3075s	yeah it was a bit more tricky to to do
3079s	that but I think Chester has a strong uh
3083s	um Personality yeah personality and it's
3086s	a different directions like at the
3087s	springster trickster guy with a ball C
3090s	more like I don't know angry girl who in
3093s	Disguise of a sweet girl yeah so but for
3097s	me for me Mandy is your self-portrait
3099s	you know
3107s	because just because I was doing the all
3110s	her Doodles were like with the grumpy
3112s	face and when I draw these grumpy faces
3114s	like this is you this is something that
3117s	followed me my whole life whenever I was
3120s	drawing something with a grumpy face
3125s	and I think like Chester had also at
3128s	least it felt to me like
3129s	from the kind of very beginning when we
3132s	did talk about the possible like
3135s	mechanics we basically we knew we wanted
3137s	to do possibly something a bit more
3139s	special yeah we did not yet decided that
3142s	he would be legendary or anything like
3144s	that we usually decide that later uh
3147s	but but yeah we were like discussing in
3150s	the team in the Warrior team and stuff
3152s	like about Randomness and could be a ad
3155s	like because we had kind of been trying
3156s	to avoid and still are like trying to
3158s	keep it in really minimal any kind of
3160s	Randomness in the game and then but we
3164s	wanted to do also something really fun
3166s	so we had this many different kind of
3169s	ideas of a brawler that would be
3170s	changing their ultimate somehow so so
3174s	after we kind of figured it start
3177s	talking about this Candy Land and
3178s	something like crazy funny there like I
3181s	think the and the Candy Kingdom then
3182s	like Chester from there and and I think
3184s	they all
3185s	team like kind of got like this unified
3187s	division quite fast so I think it was
3190s	kind of
3191s	a really smooth process in at least from
3193s	my perspective compared to many of the
3195s	other Brawlers we need to like bounce
3197s	back and forth much longer I feel yeah
3200s	and I think in in my mind it was like
3203s	making Gray from a completely different
3206s	Universe like even being black and white
3209s	it was good to avoid like similarities
3213s	because it's completely opposite like
3215s	it's the silent roller like from the the
3219s	silent moves era and also heavily
3222s	inspired by Buster Keaton and the whole
3226s	acting thing like their mechanics being
3228s	something completely related to acting
3230s	and like really
3232s	um
3233s	acting jokes not acting gags but visual
3236s	gags yeah that we could play as gameplay
3239s	mechanics this was very fresh to to to
3242s	not mix like three Brawlers at the same
3245s	time but it would be nicer also like
3249s	jump in the production side because what
3252s	most people don't know it's like we have
3255s	like two months kind of tomorrow for
3258s	each update but the actual time that we
3261s	have to come up with ideas like do the
3264s	research present work in the mechanics
3266s	have something kind of ready to brief
3269s	Partners like to start working in
3271s	mechanics and everything it's like three
3273s	weeks four weeks maximum something
3276s	around around that
3277s	so we don't have like all that counting
3280s	that when we deliver an update we also
3283s	have interactions that to do for a while
3286s	so you cannot just start like a white
3289s	page working in something else
3291s	so uh it's it's like this work of like
3295s	cleaning your mind about everything that
3298s	you just created and put other stuff
3299s	like at the fresh Direction and working
3302s	on that for some time like when oh I
3306s	think there's a bit of a pressure of uh
3309s	creating something new and knowing how
3312s	strong would be how fun would be to
3315s	brief Partners to start everything like
3317s	all the marketing side and without much
3320s	time for changing yeah when we decide in
3323s	some things like okay now please make
3325s	work yeah because I'm gonna breathe guys
3329s	tomorrow so and like okay even the
3332s	animations mean something more related
3334s	to the lore and story and everything
3336s	else like we if we need to change
3339s	something in their design based on their
3340s	mechanics we don't have this time of
3342s	back and forth and Hikaru can even speak
3344s	more about like this production side
3346s	because it's it's crazy we are only
3349s	talking about the Brawlers here we have
3351s	the environment environment we have like
3355s	loading screens and it's it's a lot of
3357s	stuff that we have to do with all the
3360s	animation yeah animation VFX yeah and I
3362s	guess all the things because that's like
3365s	I have a quick scratch sketch I just
3367s	share Gonzalez hey can you start doing a
3369s	thing with this yeah it's like yeah yeah
3371s	it's awesome it already works so yeah
3374s	yeah this is just the start of the whole
3375s	pipeline basically yeah yeah at least
3378s	Fernando's part then yours of course
3379s	takes and I guess it's like exactly
3381s	because they work on this so rigid the
3383s	timeline and it's fair enough to say
3385s	that probably like purple or like around
3388s	three weeks time to work on it but then
3392s	in in some cases like like we work
3395s	really fast and that but then for
3397s	example for some of the longer and
3399s	cooler animations and stuff they might
3401s	require like months and the required
3404s	months of work and need to be decided
3407s	already in advance and they will show
3409s	possibly the mechanics of those Brawlers
3411s	but we are still might be like Play
3413s	testing them and we still want to keep
3414s	that like flexibility that okay we
3418s	played in in a team we are testing it
3420s	out and and we don't like it uh we need
3423s	to be able to like change it right but
3426s	that is kind of then sometimes difficult
3428s	with the if you have already like
3429s	started to do some animations and stuff
3432s	so it would for sure yeah we try to be
3434s	very agile and still have some wiggle
3436s	room to change things you know when
3438s	there's like feedback later on from
3440s	fernan and stuff we try to adapt things
3441s	but yeah it is pretty tough sometimes
3443s	like like we only have one animator and
3447s	Leo Leonidas and he handles like he
3450s	manages a team of outsourcers of
3452s	animation and just keep in mind that we
3455s	do like you know tons of skins and you
3457s	know Brawlers Brawlers are of course the
3459s	most complex item
3460s	uh but everything at the same time with
3463s	tons of feedback from everyone and and
3465s	it is uh uh like a tall order somehow
3469s	works at the end of the day is done and
3472s	that's why there's sometimes we sleep
3473s	like there's some some um some problems
3476s	like for example I just remember like
3478s	gray still shoots out of his chest you
3480s	know it's really frustrating actually
3481s	because but it's like we're always
3483s	changing chasing after the next deadline
3485s	yeah it's like it's It's tricky to go
3487s	back and fix things but we do have that
3490s	like listed that he actually is supposed
3492s	to shoot out of his finger right yeah
3494s	yeah like he does a finger gun thing and
3495s	the animation is done yeah yeah and
3497s	actually like funny story like the the
3499s	uh
3500s	inspector I think is called inspector
3502s	gray is it yeah yeah detective sorry
3505s	the skin like detected gray uh like he
3510s	has this whole like um revolver arm yeah
3513s	hand and he's supposed to shoot out of
3516s	it right uh but uh the concept there was
3519s	a problem with the concept art it's
3520s	actually kind of my fault and uh we
3523s	modeled the whole thing uh like he's I
3526s	think he's shoots out of his right hand
3527s	right but the revolver was on his lap
3536s	and then I was like Leo you know the
3539s	animator I'm sorry you're gonna kill me
3541s	but we need to like just sleep the whole
3543s	thing
3546s	and then it was like this whole big
3548s	thing to to like flip all the animations
3551s	and then in the end you don't even see
3553s	it because he shoots out of his
3557s	grateful job but uh it's it's insane
3560s	because like imagine that the Brawlers
3562s	have more the uh more content related to
3567s	create but we have to take care with the
3570s	same like saying ego eyes about the
3573s	Brawlers with feedbacks on 3D mechanics
3575s	art everything skins for them but also
3578s	every skin so we we have to be they have
3580s	the same care like with the because we
3583s	change the the VFX we change animations
3586s	we change everything First Kings those
3588s	some kind of like small Brawlers that we
3591s	have to take care of it it's a lot of
3593s	work it's like this Phoenix Pro thing
3595s	right like it's it's we the whole team
3597s	saw it everyone's like wow this looks so
3599s	awesome you know it's we're all super
3600s	proud of it it just looks awesome and
3603s	then we ship it and it's like we see
3604s	these you know this mistakes basically
3606s	when you you're on the jump pad you see
3608s	all the characters it's hilarious but
3611s	it's heartbreaking as well you know like
3612s	that's why this happens because no one
3614s	thought of like just going on the jump
3616s	pad and testing it I guess so did we
3619s	um should I say that did we add them out
3621s	to Zeus Brock uh yes okay so like yeah
3625s	if you haven't noticed it that's also
3628s	another thing like yeah because when I
3629s	saw like I was uh I saw that that in the
3632s	brow talk before I was going live and
3634s	like oh Brock doesn't have a mouth is
3636s	that final and then Frank yeah sure go
3638s	ahead
3640s	and then it went there but like if I
3642s	could have mentioned to the artist first
3644s	like you're just like yeah just this is
3646s	something that I think it's gonna be
3647s	like I saw some people in the community
3649s	saying like you're like oh he's not
3651s	supposed to have a mouth you know it's
3652s	the beard you know he's covering the
3653s	mouth I bet some people are gonna hate
3655s	that we haven't about now no but no it
3659s	was so much cooler without the mouth
3661s	come on man from the get-go he was
3663s	supposed to have a mouth so
3665s	no but this this magic that only happens
3668s	because like our team is it's very very
3671s	synchronized like we we like we are very
3675s	close to each other like yeah maybe we
3677s	are friends we can consider it maybe wow
3679s	Beautiful Moments
3681s	almost friends which is very it's like
3684s	it's borderline problematic because you
3687s	you can have like this amazing chemistry
3690s	like already kind of knows what I'm
3693s	gonna complain about it so he can I can
3695s	hide ahead
3697s	like I'm gonna try this but I don't know
3699s	so sometimes I have like this quick I
3702s	can say just to tease a bit I did the
3704s	skin for Colette people will be trying
3706s	to trigger that too they'll be angry she
3708s	was kind of like kind of like a cat ah
3710s	yeah yeah and I made it and I was like
3712s	let's not spoil the theme but yeah
3713s	basically yeah that's not never gonna
3715s	happen because
3716s	I was like this is the anti Fernanda
3718s	concept you know like yep no I was like
3721s	I knew she was gonna hate it she hated
3722s	it so yeah oh yeah but it's still
3725s	friendships like still strong I knew it
3727s	was gonna happen so but it's nice
3730s	because we we can understand each other
3732s	to like get ahead and problems and solve
3735s	like we have a lot of ownership and
3737s	Trust so like I trust Leo I trust
3740s	Praveen jicardo and even with art stuff
3743s	because they are doing like they are
3745s	checking all these King's Concepts
3747s	colors even when I when when we approve
3750s	something on the Concept side uh phase
3753s	like we only know if this is a good
3755s	direction when we have the model ready
3757s	so they are always there to check all
3759s	those details and it's a lot of work a
3761s	lot of work and back and forth back and
3763s	forth back and forth fixing stuff and
3765s	doing stuff for the next update and for
3767s	the other update so it's crazy but I
3770s	think this this trust and this good
3772s	Synergy that at the end everybody it's
3775s	is doing their best and we in I don't
3777s	know the the good mood is still there
3781s	you said it well in last uh one of our
3784s	last meetings when we were discussing
3786s	the upcoming like Brawlers and and like
3789s	we both had like kind of
3792s	quite like clear ideas in our heads when
3794s	we went there but we had not presented
3797s	it to each other yet and then we like
3799s	kind of like end up like Clash and be
3803s	like brainstorm and and like work
3805s	together and at the end after like a
3808s	couple hours we kind of like had this
3810s	like final result of yeah okay this
3812s	doesn't look like anything like that
3814s	either of us had in mind but it's fun
3816s	fun it's better than either of our
3819s	individual ideas yeah but you know it's
3822s	like completely different and even when
3825s	because I think we we Clash we used to
3828s	do this more often in the beginning but
3830s	even when we don't agree with something
3832s	like uh I know that okay if he has like
3835s	a strong opinion about that maybe
3837s	there's something there that I'm not
3838s	seeing so I trust like often even say
3841s	like okay you decide like to me it's
3843s	fine and we do this fine
3846s	all right it's
3850s	it's impossible
3852s	to do that but it's nice to have this
3855s	okay like uh at the same time that you
3857s	can be so passionate about something to
3860s	to take care and to all and I want to
3863s	know the details you at some point
3865s	you're like no okay but I trust you like
3867s	this is the best let's go with that like
3869s	we this would never be like a moment
3872s	when we not move forward with work
3874s	because of like different opinions or I
3877s	don't know like decision making I think
3879s	this is this is really great and we
3881s	don't have time we always remember that
3885s	but I think the community sometimes asks
3887s	like you know how far in advance we
3889s	start developing Concepts and stuff like
3891s	that and we've been kind of getting
3893s	better and better yeah at it right like
3895s	we're making big improvements in our
3897s	pipeline you know thanks to everyone
3898s	involved like Praveen and of course and
3900s	Leo and everyone like yeah uh so on our
3903s	new VFX artist and uh like I could I can
3907s	say that now we have like concepts for
3909s	like you know tour plates in other words
3911s	you know so we're pretty uh far ahead I
3914s	can say yeah no that's which is great
3917s	for our you know mental health it's good
3919s	for us it's like yeah good shoulder tap
3923s	yeah should we speedrun the last six
3926s	Brawlers so then we can get the sneak
3928s	peek yeah in League Peak and then it
3930s	goes the questions okay okay so the next
3933s	ones are RT and Willow like what are the
3936s	ref reference for for those
3938s	RT yeah we have this info Hub in a park
3942s	and I was thinking about
3945s	create something a bit closer to lar the
3950s	Lord that we've been developing that
3951s	people don't know yet but it's cooking
3954s	it's cooking for a year
3958s	there's something being cooked
3960s	weightless so I was thinking about like
3963s	information those theories like uh
3967s	hidden cameras secret stuff and
3970s	information in general and the the RT
3973s	idea came with this like sound Envision
3977s	like somebody that can be like looking
3979s	VHS yeah
3988s	oh technology that's my job and I also
3993s	really wanted to do something like uh
3995s	this vintage device with a cassette
3997s	player and he's this kind of spy that
4001s	when separated like the head is just
4003s	like I don't know spying people and
4005s	collecting images and keep an eye on
4007s	everybody and the body parts it's
4010s	supposed to be more like the heart so
4012s	while he's recording are the other
4014s	Brawlers he can also interact with them
4016s	and create some kind of connection so
4019s	but when he is all together like it's
4022s	body and head together he has this like
4025s	um that makes it feelings but like this
4028s	the struggle clashing with like should I
4032s	be the I don't know
4034s	should I rat on this brawler yeah or
4037s	like I don't know stick to them that are
4040s	like internal conflict yeah
4044s	conflict with that and Willow it's uh I
4048s	really like Willow yeah Willow it's
4050s	heavily inspired by
4053s	um what's her name I see the Powerpuff
4055s	Girls no is it Powerpuff Girls feeling
4058s	no
4059s	no actually when you mentioned it like
4061s	yeah I can see it
4063s	Willow it's from I what's her name did
4069s	from where Lydia Legends
4071s	yeah I was sketching I had like a mood
4076s	board with other because we I I wanted
4079s	to make the swamp area a bit different
4081s	at first we had this idea about the like
4084s	a movie driving stuff but then I thought
4087s	that would be interesting to make
4089s	transform the swamp and this like love
4091s	to know which would be funny because the
4093s	swamp is not a place
4096s	and she would have like this Lagoon
4100s	creature Vibes mixed with this a bit of
4104s	Morticia Adams with this creep feeling
4107s	creep uh way of seeing love and like
4111s	cute stuff and Lee jadits also and she
4116s	has this weird way of mind control
4118s	because the the idea about Willow is
4121s	that she thinks that love is
4125s	they just became like zombies it's easy
4128s	to manipulate there it's very creep and
4131s	she would like to take advantage on that
4133s	so being like this a lagoon creature
4136s	like it's almost like the left tuna was
4138s	a trap to attract people there and kill
4141s	them like this kind of
4142s	cute poisonous thing I think there's
4145s	some overlapping in those Concepts so
4147s	that's
4148s	that's why it's very romantic brawler
4151s	very cute
4153s	and the next ones are from the blink
4157s	update who are they they think it's now
4160s	no no it's not easy amazing amazing
4164s	yeah amazing we always talk about two
4167s	remote yeah amazing is the final like
4171s	real hero for this Trio I had a bunch of
4174s	like cool references but she I I'm happy
4177s	with her result because it was a bit far
4179s	from what I was planning but I think
4182s	that she looks more badass and more
4184s	unique from the references I think with
4187s	Fang and Buster we can we can see more
4190s	clearly like where they are coming from
4192s	but Maisie has kind of her own shine and
4196s	the name is also yours yeah the name is
4199s	amazing also Ricardo Ricardo's foreign
4201s	because it's always like okay I'm
4203s	thinking about this here what do you
4205s	think and then Hikaru does this her name
4207s	is corn
4210s	corny Connie yeah I was thinking about
4212s	something think to that but then lazy
4215s	kind of yeah solved the thing and she's
4218s	like the real badass hero like she works
4221s	at the turbo theater as this like safety
4225s	agent so she cannot save people and take
4229s	care of the boys and be like a little
4231s	bit more responsible not that
4232s	responsible because she also enjoys like
4235s	to I don't know get into trouble with
4236s	them but in in Hank Hank I really love
4240s	Hank's blinds and his voice voice actor
4243s	yeah yeah we did the voice that we were
4246s	listening to the actors and as soon as
4249s	he started to screaming I was like yes
4251s	this guys
4253s	Hank is this like he was heavily
4256s	inspired by Ron Swanson yeah Ron Swanson
4260s	of course Forrest Gump yeah and the
4263s	lieutenant yeah Lieutenant
4265s	yeah Lieutenant Dan because like this
4268s	depressive vibe
4271s	and he is this like war hero Vice
4274s	because he he he was in this kitchen
4277s	ready to be cooked but he managed to
4280s	escape and survive and he the reason why
4283s	he's hidden right now in the pin Pro
4285s	it's like he founded this again the over
4289s	the the concept of the pink brow being
4291s	in this place of like battle and fight
4294s	and War it's also the reasons why he
4296s	came to this place like he seen himself
4298s	as a some kind of War Survivor hero and
4302s	he's now there he found this tank this
4305s	fish tank and transforming I think and
4307s	and he's also uh kind of checking if
4311s	maybe seal is being like well treated by
4313s	because I I think he he has this Vibe of
4317s	like protector of like yeah how do they
4320s	call like these soldiers or whatever and
4322s	they have like a platoon or something
4324s	yeah yeah but um yeah yeah yeah I think
4327s	yeah more this is camaraderie yeah yeah
4331s	yeah but I really really like him I was
4334s	super happy it was also painful design
4336s	right I was just catching like in a
4339s	while it took a while because everything
4342s	was ended up being some kind he had a
4344s	eye patch and then removed the iPad and
4346s	then he had a shirt and then removed the
4348s	shirt oh but also the tank it was a crab
4350s	it was something close to a crab but I
4353s	was never happy never happy I was really
4355s	in bang like regarding those because I
4357s	was complaining every date he had like a
4360s	like a a spray can at the back right I
4363s	think yes he was breaking it was kind of
4365s	cool I was trying you weren't happy yeah
4368s	I wasn't feeling it but then I I made
4370s	this because the thing about it's his
4373s	name's supposed to be Lieutenant yeah a
4375s	little tenant it's his title now yeah
4378s	yeah it's just a title
4381s	but then I was with this pun in my mind
4385s	and then the fish tank came it's like
4387s	fish tank fish tank can be just a thing
4389s	you know when it's stupid and obvious
4392s	but yeah you never thought about that
4394s	and then I started to sketch and was
4396s	like almost like Bonnie like two days
4398s	catching oh okay we got it we have
4401s	something here I was actually like I was
4402s	uh actually on pattern they leave during
4404s	that period yeah so like I'm actually
4407s	curious too it's actually the basic this
4410s	basic attack was that like from the the
4412s	initial Concepts already like or did
4414s	that guy or that was it with Adrian so
4417s	like yeah Adrian and it was helping more
4420s	that but it took a while until we we
4422s	start this good because the the thing is
4425s	that we had this crab kind of an armor
4428s	idea and but I wasn't feeling it so I
4432s	wasn't really concerned about like the
4435s	mechanic in that point because I I
4437s	didn't want like this to me the the crab
4439s	idea would be something really cool
4441s	closed captioning not available
4513s	[Laughter]
4518s	it but yeah that's why I struggle a lot
4522s	because it was like almost two weeks
4524s	without having one idea with enough
4527s	material to talk about it because even
4530s	when we when we start to talk and I have
4532s	like mood board ideas Concepts uh the
4536s	reason why we discard some stuff and
4538s	still use others is because like the
4540s	concept allows like with this bro let's
4544s	not talk about the next problem with
4545s	this One
4547s	Direction with uh one idea with
4550s	different directions like the brother
4552s	that we're gonna do now is still in this
4555s	range still related to that but we just
4557s	pick one of those ideas to go for it and
4560s	and some that's why sometimes I also
4563s	check with myself if I have a strong
4565s	idea if this is giving me more ideas for
4568s	gadgets for ultimates for different
4570s	kinds of mechanics not just one One
4573s	Direction it would be a fisherman and
4576s	everything that I have in mind is just
4577s	fishing I think that's why also the a
4581s	Twist on top of idea is also important
4584s	yes like for example the fisherman okay
4587s	we have the fishing thing but if it's a
4589s	fisherman obsessed about that feather so
4592s	he flies now we have something that we
4595s	can play with and and it can be more
4598s	different we can add something something
4600s	else
4601s	I know that it's painful I know we know
4604s	that sometimes like sometimes I'm just
4607s	creating more problems for myself
4609s	yeah but no pain it is definitely true
4612s	that sometimes you call me up like just
4614s	to show me a concept and talk about it
4616s	and I'm like it looks awesome but you're
4618s	not happy with it
4619s	you just make it harder make it harder
4624s	for yourself but then it just kind of
4625s	like suddenly clicks and you completely
4627s	change the design you're like okay I'm
4628s	going to do this you're happy about it
4630s	so everyone is happy if you're happy
4633s	and then the last ones are those two
4635s	lovely balls there cordelius cordelis
4639s	and uh dog
4642s	was the easiest
4643s	[Laughter]
4650s	or something like that but I just did
4651s	the high poly yeah like it was so cute
4654s	an outsourcer that I work with did the
4656s	2D the sorry the low poly yeah yeah the
4659s	bowling yes I wasn't sure about those
4661s	colors but again inspired by Skeletor
4665s	He-Man just new cartoon
4669s	yeah but I really like the the result
4671s	and this this loading screen is just
4673s	amazing yeah I really love to see brow
4676s	stuff and Too Deep what is the reference
4677s	for dog like crazy dog I always had in
4681s	mind that for Bob
4682s	be nice and a second you know but I like
4685s	the
4686s	thing that
4688s	is it's not like a specific type of
4691s	dinosaur yeah kind of like yeah
4694s	non-existent Nintendo dinosaurs yeah
4697s	yeah and I did the same for it for him
4700s	it's like okay let's just put this weird
4702s	hair in like there's a dinosaur that
4705s	looks like this but kind of made up and
4707s	the hot dog design like kind of looks
4710s	like hot dog himself so it was easy it
4713s	was I think when you have like a strong
4715s	joke that's my theory when you have a
4717s	strong joke a good joke you have a good
4720s	idea and also on the mechanic side I
4722s	think like we had had already and talked
4725s	like for a long long time about like
4726s	revive and as you know like they're
4729s	already we had like something similar in
4731s	the game in the past as a star power too
4733s	so it was like just kind of fit directly
4737s	there like right in with this like
4740s	Lifesaver pool to your like
4743s	and then yeah I think it did come quite
4746s	well together like
4748s	something at the same time with the icon
4750s	for
4752s	Andrews was working in that oh the yeah
4756s	so that heals you the health pack yeah
4758s	the health pack but he was working
4760s	before seeing anything about the brawler
4767s	it was totally
4769s	but it was you know
4772s	we plan everything exactly exactly
4777s	that's the Synergy of the our team you
4779s	know we're really connected and thanks
4782s	Derek Hoffman for this beautiful shout
4784s	out shout out beautiful
4786s	now do you want to give a sneak peek
4791s	[Music]
4793s	Peak Library on anything it's a sneak
4796s	peek on Mental Health
4798s	sneak peek how are you doing this week
4800s	after the update so I guess we can go
4803s	what with Ricardo uh said before so
4806s	we're releasing a new brother that will
4809s	complete at Trio
4811s	and the other one it's also from
4814s	existing Trio yes that's that's it is
4821s	the new brawler is the new brawler never
4824s	saw him before
4826s	yeah I think that's all you can share a
4829s	book
4829s	I don't know if we start to share
4831s	something extra can but yeah maybe Laura
4836s	maybe there's something to do with lore
4838s	maybe not wait not in the next updates
4842s	but there's something related with lore
4845s	but not in the next update
4848s	there's something related with love in
4850s	the next update oh but there's always so
4852s	you have to communicate with our eyes
4854s	here I think yeah this is semantics
4857s	right like what is and what is it more
4860s	yeah yeah yeah what is yeah what is Lord
4862s	yeah what is lore what is love what is
4864s	Lord
4865s	we can review we can review one brawler
4868s	that is again asking
4870s	[Music]
4885s	it could happen like I've been surprised
4887s	in the past you know like that we're so
4890s	proud of a skin and then communities
4891s	like
4892s	in the other way around like something
4895s	that we yeah we recall or someone like
4897s	oh my God this is amazing I like Edgar a
4899s	Nightwing I think that's all I think or
4901s	doctor like bird like it was shocking
4905s	that everyone liked it yeah we were like
4906s	yeah
4908s	it's cool it's cool it's badass yeah but
4911s	no one was that happy when we were
4912s	working on it no just Frank was
4922s	I know this brand so he didn't want it
4925s	to be doctor so we were thinking of like
4927s	you know Edgar MD yeah whatever like or
4929s	Edgar wasn't working this was it would
4932s	be different what's empty okay
4936s	[Music]
4938s	you have to explain me that afterwards
4940s	yeah
4941s	sneak peek is done then let's go to the
4944s	questions
4945s	foreign
4947s	[Music]
4954s	like least favorite color blue Fernanda
4956s	hates blue for some reason oh no so like
4959s	our everything is
4960s	being removed
4964s	just purple
4966s	um
4967s	so uh Nicholas is asking if there is an
4971s	a brother or like a mechanic that was
4973s	polarizing within the thing
4975s	and then they decided to ship anyway or
4978s	if there is one that we never shipped
4980s	was there a brawler that we never ship I
4983s	think it's like it's so pressing on the
4984s	time yeah go always like and I guess be
4988s	rather than not cheap then the brawler
4991s	usually we are flexible enough to change
4993s	yeah and there's definitely Brawlers we
4995s	have like changed I think quite a lot
4997s	but the first thing abroad that didn't
4999s	come to my mind I think was like before
5001s	my time but what I have heard is about
5004s	Amber
5005s	ah so it was what controversial yeah I
5009s	don't remember that I remember people
5010s	saying it's not very fun yeah they were
5013s	concerned with that because they're just
5014s	so Auto aiming yeah kind of you know but
5017s	I don't remember I remember being told
5019s	similarly that Bibi was very close to
5021s	being axed oh baby I saved BB you did
5024s	yeah was it you yeah wow so what was so
5028s	controversial because she's so cool all
5029s	right because uh the first design is
5031s	that where she's knocking back with
5032s	every hit and then it was like she's too
5035s	strong or like you always push the enemy
5037s	away so like either like it's too strong
5039s	like in a wall or like where I was
5041s	pushing the enemy away so then I come up
5042s	with the bar
5044s	yeah and then I was thinking of Mega Man
5048s	charging and
5050s	um it's really cool and it was funny
5051s	because I think it was like my first
5053s	month in the company and like being a
5056s	community manager suggesting something
5058s	to the game designer and then he accepts
5060s	yeah and he accepts like yeah let's try
5062s	it man and it works yeah it works really
5064s	well yeah I like
5067s	uh but what was the question like the
5070s	polarization yeah yeah I don't remember
5073s	like and even it's always like that when
5076s	we are not feeling it we keep
5078s	integrating until we find a better
5080s	Direction it's never something that I
5082s	remember cordelius was really like kind
5085s	of you know yeah outside of the box yeah
5087s	because we were scared with the
5089s	development yeah also Willow was super
5092s	challenging it was fun the fun story not
5096s	so fun because of your opportunity to
5099s	leave and like we have those two super
5101s	complex Mechanics for NT and Adrian
5104s	working with yeah it's almost like
5106s	challenge we have willowbugs till the
5109s	day do this day it's just a nice
5112s	reminder yeah but like yeah because like
5114s	Willow is super complex because for
5116s	every brawler she can breaks like
5118s	because every brother is a new
5119s	interaction right so it's uh it's a
5123s	lease that keeps on going
5125s	um
5128s	yeah but I think there is no brawler we
5130s	actually killed right maybe we postpone
5132s	or yeah Buster was something like this
5135s	yeah yeah maybe only postponed it yeah
5141s	but I guess it's exactly like kind of
5143s	like a separate thing like we might
5145s	like exactly like here like sometimes
5147s	not go yet forward with some mechanics
5150s	yeah and then we change it and sometimes
5151s	with the art concept too it might be
5153s	that yeah we put it the back burner and
5155s	we come back to it but I would not say
5157s	like we necessarily yeah yeah exit like
5160s	Sam like when we had this idea
5163s	what was the brawler that you came up
5165s	with uh yes no
5167s	like the
5169s	oh The X thrower X yeah idea that we
5173s	have to change there's that's that this
5175s	is something that is really good about
5177s	the process because you never waste
5179s	anything like okay if this is not
5180s	fitting this concept right now we can
5183s	always come back and think about this
5185s	idea in a different way and make it work
5187s	so there's never wasted time or ideas
5191s	like you can always like use in this
5193s	backlog
5195s	yeah so like Eve actually like also like
5198s	the walking water I think there was
5199s	quite a lot of
5200s	like that it would be too broken or true
5203s	and the the
5205s	hatchlings idea was also kind of weird
5208s	yeah well I think we wanted a hover
5211s	brawler for a while yeah I think it was
5214s	in the backlog for a long time
5218s	um a question from lauro or
5221s	compatriots
5226s	uh I I have to do a translation on the
5229s	Fly here uh he said like hello Ricardo
5232s	and Fernanda I would like to know like a
5235s	personal advice because he's an artist
5237s	as well he's a fun artist and he would
5239s	like to take it to a professional level
5241s	like uh portfolio tips or how to make
5248s	um concept art a bit more organized some
5252s	techniques I don't know anything that
5254s	you can share for a with a fun artist
5257s	that wants to become Pro
5259s	but he wants to work as a concept artist
5263s	I would say so yeah yeah he didn't
5266s	specify what kind of art he wants to
5268s	work
5269s	with yeah because I think if you if he's
5273s	doing fine arts like if he likes to
5276s	create his own ideas I think it's good
5278s	to think as a concept Artist as a like a
5281s	problem solver kind of thing like your
5284s	concept designer I think that would be a
5286s	they're more appropriated for that
5289s	because your job is basically like what
5292s	we do we solve uh mechanics using
5295s	creative creative ideas for that so if
5299s	you're aiming to get in this field I
5301s	think it's it's I don't know my personal
5303s	advice would be like be curious I'm
5307s	curious about almost everything I think
5310s	it's like a kind of a vague subject but
5314s	to me this was kind of a life-changing
5316s	when I start to understand that
5318s	literally anything can be twisted in
5321s	something else and even like stuff that
5323s	I don't love at first like subject or
5326s	words or I don't know genre of whatever
5330s	I can always find a way to make it
5333s	interesting for myself
5334s	and to connect this with my personal
5337s	taste and I also think that because like
5341s	once you understand how to solve those
5343s	problems it's important to find your own
5346s	voice so your own voice is like
5348s	basically just digging what made you you
5352s	you know your sense of humor your
5354s	references like what kind of stories you
5356s	would like to tell what kind of universe
5358s	excites you because like in this in this
5361s	career you will have to find ways to
5364s	find energy and excitement all the time
5367s	to do your best in your job and I I say
5370s	that when I join brow and to me was a
5373s	huge uh uh red flag red flag good green
5379s	because when I was doing my test I was
5382s	having so much fun and I felt so free to
5384s	put everything that I like it on my
5386s	character that at the end is still what
5389s	I'm doing until today so if you are
5392s	applying for a job that you're not
5394s	really
5395s	uh feeling confident this is not really
5397s	what I want to do I think it's it's best
5400s	since he's just preparing like his in
5403s	the beginning I think it's important to
5405s	put a lot of effort time and and
5407s	discipline and learning but also paying
5411s	attention about what excites you because
5413s	you can always find like inspiration and
5416s	energy to keep going from that and even
5418s	developing your skills based on what you
5421s	you trust I think that would be a
5423s	General because it's so hard to give me
5425s	advice but Ricardo say something clever
5429s	I agree I agree with from 100 like just
5432s	do whatever you think is fun but also
5434s	like just to be like a bit more
5435s	practical I think you you can find an
5437s	artist
5438s	who like works at the company that you
5441s	would like to work at and like compare
5442s	yourself like it would be really honest
5444s	like for example if it's supercell like
5446s	you need to use Fernanda as your bar you
5447s	know like you're actually competing with
5449s	her basically on a practical level and
5452s	just be honest with yourself and improve
5454s	every day you know work on it and only
5456s	in stuff you actually like doing of
5458s	course
5459s	and like of course be focused you know
5461s	like if it's concept art you want to do
5463s	do concept art not don't do fan art
5465s	don't do illustration you know solve
5467s	problems like Fernandez said and also
5469s	this is like uh I think it's very
5472s	important I see people just you know
5475s	they're fresh out of school and they
5477s	apply to supercell and they just keep
5478s	applying to supercell you know first get
5479s	like you need experience okay yeah like
5481s	apply to uh to like there are tons of
5484s	startups Finland has a lot of startups
5485s	for example but there's everywhere like
5487s	on Earth uh applied to a startup that's
5489s	how I learned as well and you're got you
5491s	think you know stuff you don't know
5492s	anything like this is this is
5495s	you don't know anything like we don't
5498s	know anything yeah it's like we're
5499s	always learning so yeah but that's the
5501s	thing like in a startup you'll get to
5503s	where tons of hats you know you have to
5505s	basically just help out in whichever way
5508s	you can you can and you'll develop your
5510s	your own like style you know that's very
5513s	very important voice and I will put on
5515s	top of that like love the process
5517s	because most of the time I'm like even
5520s	right now on bro most of the time you're
5522s	gonna be like
5525s	I don't absorbed in process yeah if you
5529s	really enjoys like the daily life like
5531s	the discussions
5533s	about bad thinking like if you really
5536s	are engaged during the process this is
5538s	the best part because when when Once the
5540s	work is done like it's done like people
5543s	are enjoying playing next whatever and
5546s	you're gonna be worried about the next
5547s	step so if this is it's a it's a more
5550s	wise way to think if I'm really liking
5552s	like this process of growing like even
5555s	for example when when he kind of give
5557s	this amazing tip about like apply for
5560s	different jobs and and start like even
5563s	really trying to grow in your career it
5566s	doesn't matter where you start because
5568s	you're always gonna learn something on
5570s	every stage like for me for example I
5573s	came from advertisement animation like
5576s	uh I worked in a bunch of stuff uh with
5578s	a bunch of kind of the different types
5580s	of our directors so I was always
5583s	Gathering experience from those areas
5586s	until you get to this point so it's not
5588s	like you are fresh from school and then
5591s	you want to work with games like you
5593s	need life experience and and and you
5597s	need to learn how to work with people
5598s	yeah and all of that is based on process
5602s	like it's the daily like not boring but
5606s	for some people boring stuff but you
5608s	have to be passionate in in that path so
5610s	you have to love the process yeah and I
5612s	I feel like that any work like it
5615s	doesn't need to be art specific I think
5617s	90 is communication like is you
5619s	communicating with another person right
5621s	yes and I think like a lot of people
5623s	think it's like yeah I'm just gonna do
5625s	my art here and then I will profit or
5627s	like it's gonna work like I think like
5629s	to have like the maturity to be a
5632s	professional person uh I think it's uh
5635s	goes a long way so maybe you can even be
5637s	that mediocre artist but if you are
5640s	really professional you can overcome
5642s	Insurance field with people like that
5644s	they're you know maybe they're not
5646s	amazing artists but they're like nice to
5648s	work with and like uh good communicators
5651s	yeah they have sometimes good ideas you
5653s	know yeah it's yeah that's definitely
5655s	like it's it's basically like a required
5658s	there on top so it's like you it's not
5660s	enough that you're only like good yeah
5662s	yeah you need to have this good
5664s	collaboration skills and team working
5666s	skills and those sometimes might be hard
5668s	to gain by just by yourself right so
5671s	that's why you need the work experience
5673s	yeah to get the work in the teams and
5676s	also like to be become more flexible as
5679s	an artist like uh I can't just imagine
5682s	like how it might feel like like when
5685s	you have like some kind of design that
5687s	is really you and you're happy with that
5688s	and then yeah then outside of the team
5690s	somebody like me comes for example say
5692s	like well now I think this problem is 25
5694s	million weapon what if he had a yes for
5697s	the next year yeah it's completely ruins
5698s	your like yeah Concepts and you need to
5701s	be like adaptive and flexible and and
5704s	also with other styles like coming to an
5707s	existing projects you might not be able
5709s	to just develop your own style you need
5711s	to adapt to other are the Styles and so
5714s	on and working in a team with like 30
5715s	people and like these live games it's
5717s	it's not you know it's not trivial like
5719s	you need to pick up these skills yeah
5721s	you know getting experience in smaller
5723s	yeah depend on your idea and like do
5724s	what's best and and that and that's the
5727s	thing like it's it's the teamwork that
5729s	we are doing like even oh I'm creating
5732s	this brawler but this brawler is it's it
5734s	the result is part of the the teamwork
5737s	so that's why like if I'm able to be
5741s	flexible to discuss ideas like I'm not
5743s	creating this by myself and even being
5745s	able to adjust the stuff when I when I
5747s	have a concept that hikarda has to model
5749s	he will adjust and change stuff and I
5751s	trust that it's for the best the better
5753s	so like this because some some artists
5757s	they have this thing about okay I'm
5759s	gonna be the best working on my craft
5761s	the whole life and one day I will just
5763s	apply and it's not like that it doesn't
5765s	matter if you're amazing in your craft
5768s	and amazing with skills and everything
5770s	but if you put if we have to work with
5774s	you in a big project it's impossible to
5777s	get your best with people you cannot
5779s	work with anyone so it's like it's good
5782s	for you guys it's a good for you but as
5786s	a career I think it's it's not the best
5788s	way to yeah and it's also like if you
5790s	want to work in games or like uh live
5792s	games you are doing your art for someone
5796s	right you're not doing for yourself like
5798s	you're kind of like selling a product or
5799s	like creating a product to to be
5802s	exciting for uh audience so sometimes
5805s	it's not even like what you want of
5806s	course like you have a vision of like
5808s	what you think is good and what think is
5810s	cool but I think like we do design uh or
5813s	Arts to the community as well it's like
5815s	uh it's it's not like you just like
5818s	being in your room like doing whatever
5819s	you want and yeah it becomes bigger than
5822s	any of us right yeah yeah if you leave
5823s	the company this the company still sells
5825s	the characters you've made yeah
5828s	another question from met Runner uh what
5832s	are the designs of brawlers or skins
5834s	that took some some time to develop or
5836s	were complicated to do in-game either
5839s	due to their design mechanics or other
5840s	details
5843s	like Brawlers you can speak to that
5846s	maybe
5847s	which was the hardest maybe pick like
5848s	one hard brother one hard skin
5851s	yeah
5853s	yeah that's a good good question because
5855s	like I think with each roller we want to
5858s	bring something new to the game the
5860s	brawler needs to have like also on
5861s	gameplay perspective like their their
5864s	place to to shine and then to bring
5866s	something new and interesting
5868s	um so by definition like they will
5871s	always have something new uh and that
5875s	would be like difficult or would require
5877s	some development effort there
5879s	uh but I guess one mentioned here maybe
5883s	from the latest one like
5885s	uh like cordelius was definitely like
5888s	something that required more work uh
5893s	like but I I'm not sure like was it I
5897s	think Willow is the Harlow yeah that we
5899s	ever created because she's still being
5901s	developed
5902s	it's a work on working yeah and her her
5906s	skill mechanics keeps creeping up the
5908s	more yeah we have like generally tried
5911s	when doing like that's one thing we need
5913s	to take in in the count like games like
5915s	this that have tons of rollers we would
5918s	not want to like we try to avoid
5920s	introducing mechanics that basically
5923s	would
5924s	like affect all the other Brawlers
5926s	directly like in in this case of like
5929s	below like sometimes we decide that the
5931s	mechanic is exciting enough that we want
5933s	to do it but if we can find a way of
5936s	doing it like somehow undirectly so that
5938s	whenever we release a new brawler we not
5940s	need to keep in mind that that uh how
5942s	will it work with this specific brawler
5944s	that preferred right but and funnily
5948s	enough like Willow wasn't like on the
5950s	design visual design side it kind of
5952s	came out very quickly yeah yeah yeah it
5954s	wasn't it wasn't the hardest definitely
5957s	no I even was like sketching her
5959s	environment when I remember like I had a
5962s	Clear Vision but yeah do you have ice
5965s	skiing mind I was thinking about surge
5967s	oh yeah search is always good well
5970s	sergey's hard especially from like the
5972s	animation Center yeah there's a lot of
5974s	you know parts to it and also like when
5977s	you're concepting you need to think
5979s	about all the Transformations right so
5981s	it is pretty challenging for sure but uh
5984s	specific examples of skins I think that
5986s	mag truck driver was a nightmare
5991s	let's go there let's close our fight
5994s	I'm just like it was hard to for me of
5997s	course it's my it's my my shortcomings
5999s	that I'm talking about like uh for now I
6001s	had these clear sense of direction for
6003s	the update and it was really hard for me
6004s	to kind of like you know get it I guess
6007s	so but in the end I guess it worked it
6009s	was a stunt show yeah yeah Central was
6011s	really hard I think it was a theme it's
6013s	very neat yeah very specifically stunts
6015s	yeah yeah I remember that was a pretty
6017s	hard one but other than that I think
6019s	Skins are pretty you know they're always
6022s	tough actually funny funny thing like 29
6025s	gem skins those are because in general
6028s	they're really hard those are the hard
6029s	ones it's really crazy like they're the
6032s	cheapest of course because everyone
6033s	knows but from the concept standpoint
6036s	it's really hard to get because we're we
6037s	have a high bar yeah we always try to
6040s	make them look you know have some kind
6042s	of funny twist to them yeah like a theme
6044s	at least sometimes you know we do better
6047s	than others I guess some are really cool
6048s	like Bonnie unicorn yeah it was so
6051s	awesome yeah but um
6054s	yeah that one some just like really
6057s	click but they're actually a lot of work
6060s	from like implementation standpoint for
6063s	some reason they always make trouble for
6065s	us it's really tricky I don't know I
6067s	kind of hate the 29 gems
6069s	they're so hard so please buy them so
6072s	then okay yeah please make them work
6073s	please for us where is the catching wow
6080s	um this guy made like 11 questions I
6083s	would just answer some uh ages or 11
6086s	from one person this is like a cop oh
6090s	just reach
6092s	it's from Owen
6094s	um Wilson
6095s	no of course
6098s	uh he's asking like if some old brothers
6100s	who have a remodel
6102s	I don't think we have anything actually
6104s	oh okay oh it's a spoiler actually well
6108s	Praveen kind of took the initiative to
6110s	not remodel but revamp okay some of the
6112s	older Brawlers okay because it was
6114s	actually his question he he specifically
6116s	mentioned barley
6125s	why the artists don't show their skin
6127s	concept Arts very often why that's a
6130s	question because they're working
6132s	great answer yeah no I'm really uh
6138s	really far from social media since I
6141s	joined I I think I just posted Janet and
6144s	Bonnie but it's not it's not a joke it's
6147s	because I'm working and there's always
6149s	like this artist you guys will get it
6151s	it's like okay if I have to post I ever
6154s	try to tweak something and organize and
6156s	do something to not get there it's like
6159s	okay one day like when I organize my
6161s	portfolio if I can do it like
6164s	2015. I guess like because there's like
6167s	a quite long delay before the brawler
6169s	would be like released and you could
6171s	actually like yeah share the original
6173s	Concepts so it might be many many months
6175s	like half a year it gets cold you know
6177s	before so then then you have new things
6179s	to think about in mind and yeah and then
6181s	there's this snowball like it's it's bad
6184s	but um it's a lot of work yeah but
6186s	that's like the most requested thing
6188s	right for now please post your Concepts
6189s	seriously we are talking with this video
6191s	yeah this video yeah we're gonna have
6194s	some some stuff Jesus now I have to do
6197s	something
6198s	oh god
6200s	um how Fernanda reacted to criticism or
6202s	feedback from the community from the
6204s	brothers you made terribly
6206s	cried for five years will be always the
6210s	only person yes who knows how I read it
6212s	but to be like completely honest I don't
6215s	check I never checked with her like I
6218s	usually check stuff when Frank or
6220s	Ricardo share with me and then I go on
6222s	Twitter like once a month and like stay
6225s	for a few hours check some stuff like
6227s	some
6237s	yeah no but I that's really true like I
6241s	I never check those things I I don't
6243s	know to me it's like the people are so
6246s	crazy on the internet and passionate
6248s	about stuff that with the same passion
6250s	that they're saying you're amazing yeah
6252s	Diva you're trash or garbage on the next
6255s	day yeah so you can never really I don't
6259s	know measure your self-esteem or value
6262s	by that but I'm gonna tell you like I'm
6264s	very you know I'm always online and I
6266s	check like these I mean different games
6268s	subreddits and stuff and brawl Stars has
6271s	some of like the most wholesome
6272s	communities I've ever seen right yeah
6274s	yeah come on it's it's insane like yeah
6276s	it's insane a lot of us very very cool
6278s	like that's true like that's true it's
6280s	insane like insane the amount of good
6282s	stuff that I saw I mostly just saw good
6284s	stuff yeah we want what's best for our
6288s	Community you know yeah so it's cool
6290s	that they understand I think that's like
6292s	something that sometimes might get
6294s	missed or like I also spend like quite a
6297s	lot of time there uh like listening to
6300s	the community getting like awesome ideas
6302s	from there and uh and just overall like
6306s	feeling feeling what the vibe is and
6308s	what the community will want and I think
6310s	everybody in Brawl Stars teams like
6313s	really we want to make the best game for
6316s	the community and we are all really
6318s	passionate about the game and sometimes
6320s	that might get like a bit like lost like
6323s	in our daily work we don't
6325s	think about this like only few people of
6328s	us would kind of think about the
6330s	business side or the product like on a
6332s	daily basis most of us like Fernanda for
6335s	example like you just want to make the
6337s	most awesome concept I want to make the
6339s	most awesome mechanics we work on that
6342s	yeah and and don't necessarily think
6344s	about them like business side at all and
6347s	so so the like thing that maybe gets me
6350s	the most in the community post or we're
6352s	going to reading those it's like when
6354s	there's something like oh they did this
6355s	because of some like they want to drain
6358s	us they made this roller to like uh op
6363s	just because you know they want us to
6366s	pay or get it but yeah that's very
6368s	minimal right like yeah you like at
6370s	least yeah I think most of it's more
6371s	healthy yeah I think most of the people
6373s	are reasonable and I feel that they're
6375s	more good intentions people than uh you
6378s	know yeah I wonder if like Twitter is
6380s	catering for me like with the algorithms
6383s	yeah because I saw
6390s	you know Dev he posted like you know
6393s	I've been seeing a lot of bad things
6394s	about and he's like what happened I
6397s	think the artists are like in groups
6399s	that are sometimes a bit toxic yeah okay
6401s	yeah yeah yeah and even I'm shelter from
6403s	them yeah yeah but I have one thing to
6406s	say if you have something against me on
6408s	my way fight me in real life you know do
6411s	it better we're gonna go on Twitter too
6413s	I don't discuss with you with text no
6416s	good uh just like I'll skip to his 11th
6420s	question uh someday you show uh would
6423s	you someday show uh discarded skins from
6427s	the updates
6428s	um I think we could show some but most
6431s	of the we don't really have discarded
6433s	skins we just save them
6436s	it's called backlog yeah we don't throw
6439s	anything don't throw anything away we
6441s	might kind of use it some even if it's
6443s	not in its current form we can but I
6445s	think like even if it's a interesting
6447s	thing to share what I don't like about
6450s	it is because the thing that is not
6452s	released is always better right so like
6454s	if we show something out this is like
6456s	the first concept like oh why didn't you
6457s	release this one it's way better yeah no
6459s	matter what happens even if it's just a
6461s	change of color it's like people so you
6464s	know retweet and say go tweet it and say
6466s	look at this stupid guy yeah this
6468s	version was greater than that one they
6470s	actually did that to me and I was like
6471s	oh come on
6475s	he picked that over there didn't reply
6477s	thank you yeah yeah I'm okay with that
6480s	yeah it's part of the internet you know
6483s	um
6483s	lucky
6485s	84. how do you determine which brother
6488s	gets a new skin for each update I guess
6490s	for Ricardo
6491s	well we've been actually like discussing
6494s	this a lot lately with the help of V
6496s	who's one of our designers yeah he's
6498s	he's been very like proactive in helping
6500s	the like the art team uh get better at
6503s	like real making our like priorities
6506s	getting our priorities straight so it is
6509s	kind of like a combination of I'm not
6512s	even sure if we hate them we use some
6514s	data to check like uh uh brawler
6517s	popularity it's not super it's kind of
6519s	like this complex thing uh that we get
6521s	from our data scientists and and yeah we
6525s	do use that as priority but it's not the
6527s	only the only metric we use we only also
6529s	check Brawlers that have been in need of
6532s	a skin for a long time and when it's
6534s	sometimes it's just it just doesn't
6535s	click you know we try we explore ideas
6537s	for this brawler because for example
6539s	Nani you know we've been trying for a
6540s	while and we're just not as excited
6542s	because it's a God yeah God like well or
6545s	that uh Easter
6548s	but that it's it's true it's like we try
6551s	a bunch of these for these Brawlers and
6553s	we have a limited number of slots so we
6555s	need to pick the best only the best and
6556s	sometimes it's not you know that Nanny
6558s	skin wasn't clicking until we made this
6560s	wow you know and I think everyone was
6563s	happy with it right yeah that Aries Nani
6565s	yeah yeah it does I think it's the best
6567s	of the trio
6576s	he's basically our main concept artist
6579s	for skins yeah and you know 90 of the
6582s	Skins are his you know we just help him
6584s	basically yeah he's really good and that
6586s	Brock just encapsulates how you know
6588s	it's like Regis at his best we saw it
6592s	was like damn wow like who else could be
6595s	Zeus you know in such a cool way
6598s	amazing one of the best kings that we
6600s	ever made to me I think yeah I think the
6603s	like the concept is still better than
6606s	the final product I have to admit
6608s	because of the mod that and I'm I think
6611s	we could but the illustration I think
6613s	the the loading screen itself like it
6615s	sounds very well power
6617s	the Lightnings on the rocket launcher
6621s	um Sweezy since the designs are getting
6624s	better are you guys planning radius I
6626s	guess we kind of touch on that there's
6627s	plenty redesign other brothers so yes
6630s	as you guys leaked already
6634s	woke up one day and it was like we
6637s	decided I'm gonna do this you know okay
6639s	it's more like Fernando come here
6641s	quickly and then I go there look look at
6643s	this
6646s	and then he starts to keep the least
6649s	like oh this one also this one come on
6651s	oh yeah yeah okay cool
6655s	um we will we will our team ever uh form
6659s	an official age list of the Brawlers I
6662s	think it'll be really useful for for
6664s	what the fun artists like to know their
6667s	ages yeah I wonder what for you know
6670s	yeah we need to avoid prison this is the
6674s	police
6676s	yeah
6677s	but I think
6680s	you never it's true because they have
6682s	like proper but I think what they need
6684s	to know is like this is Young this is
6686s	teenage this is adult right we don't
6687s	know actually a lot of old people you
6690s	actually yeah my season season yeah
6694s	San is 13.
6700s	[Laughter]
6702s	yeah and every concept you always say
6704s	like these characters this age yeah I
6707s	always say like late 20s or early 40s
6710s	right so they do have like a canonical
6711s	age yeah yeah I think like my personal
6714s	opinion I like how some stuff is hidden
6717s	so like uh you you know brother's
6720s	personality because of their actions or
6721s	like because of like a small detail on
6723s	the animation for example when we
6725s	release Mandy and Chester there is like
6728s	it starts with chester like destroying
6730s	everything and creating like a huge
6732s	prank but then these uh villains come
6735s	and they are attacking Mandy and then
6736s	Chester saves her as like so then you
6739s	see like this only by this like frame
6741s	you see that that he actually cares for
6743s	her and then like uh players pick the uh
6747s	Community picks that that up and then
6749s	start creating fan art about it so I
6750s	think I like to just hint those things
6753s	because I think you can I wouldn't like
6755s	to have like a profile yeah of the
6757s	brawler like showing everything yeah
6759s	yeah yeah like characters basically are
6763s	their actions right this is something
6764s	that uh it's like talked about in it's
6767s	great writing and stuff yeah
6769s	yeah so you can visually explain those
6771s	things without actually narrating or
6773s	anything yeah of course we if we had a
6775s	chance in time we would do like a I
6778s	don't know two hours animation
6780s	more and more stories yeah yeah it's
6783s	more like time limitation then we try to
6785s	just point it out like most important
6788s	stuff about their relationships but by
6790s	the way I hope people like this like uh
6792s	this was a kind of a unique thing
6794s	actually right we yeah we put these two
6796s	Brawlers together uh in an animation
6799s	that are from different trios yeah no I
6801s	think they are loving I think they're a
6803s	loving dog because it's so chill because
6806s	and they're they're saying like he had
6809s	the hot dog on his leg the whole time
6812s	just there just waiting to me and
6816s	um from ngi uh how frequent do you guys
6819s	take inspiration from Community well no
6822s	you're welcome apparently it looks like
6825s	every day on Reddit
6828s	oh yeah I think like inspiration can
6831s	come from and comes from like all
6833s	different sources and then within the
6835s	team inside the team and every or many
6837s	of the individuals in the team like like
6840s	check like Community post and everything
6843s	like spend time there quite a lot so
6846s	like yeah it's like even hard to say
6848s	like a direct answer answer there but
6850s	yeah definitely yeah like we we release
6852s	and we and then
6854s	and even if it's not like a completely
6856s	like that you could not necessarily say
6858s	that we would be inspired by some kind
6860s	of community post for example our
6861s	concept but it stays in back of our mind
6864s	and we can get like even without no
6866s	knowing it you know influenced right
6868s	yeah subconsciously yeah yeah yeah
6871s	because otherwise I agree with that like
6873s	basically only subconsciously I guess
6875s	because yeah directly never never and a
6879s	even prefer this way like sometimes you
6882s	have conversations about how the
6883s	communities wanting like a assassin
6885s	brawler or this brawler that brawler so
6887s	we have some idea about the needs but
6891s	it's it's only it's also about the
6893s	momentum like when you are having an
6895s	idea that oh this would be cool with
6897s	that thing like with that idea then we
6899s	can make it happen but I prefer to still
6902s	keep it organically when it makes sense
6904s	not like briefing you know we need this
6907s	and then work on this yeah I've seen the
6909s	community like sometimes point out like
6911s	oh this brawler looks very similar to
6912s	this fan art that they did and it's like
6914s	I can assure you it never never happens
6917s	I'll never checking it I don't know any
6919s	online yeah I'm checking the Michael
6921s	Jackson video like this is the kind of
6923s	stuff that I'm checking on it's just
6925s	some things are kind of a coincidence
6926s	you know it's okay especially for skins
6928s	it's like sometimes you know these
6930s	characters just basically really
6932s	warrants I don't know a certain type of
6934s	skin yeah if people will come to the
6936s	same conclusion yeah yeah it's so active
6938s	Community like there's yeah tons of post
6940s	like both on the like ideas for example
6942s	for gadgets or Star powers or or like
6945s	any kind of mechanic and and for the
6947s	skins and stuff there right so much of
6950s	them that it just happens yeah just be
6952s	proud of yourself that you arrived to
6954s	the same conclusion you're in the same
6956s	page but I think like that's all it's
6958s	walking dangerous lines because like now
6960s	the fun art is almost like they've they
6962s	they knew we're working with Brandon
6964s	then you were working with chirag uh for
6966s	the things so now I think they are
6968s	trying to like do things we've done
6970s	before so like they know that we're
6971s	using teams so for example we released
6974s	the god
6975s	um the Godless Kings and now there are a
6977s	lot of like uh uh Olympus kind of gods
6981s	so
6982s	um
6983s	yeah like it's very hard to not go
6985s	inside at some point if you're like
6987s	doing exactly what you're what you've
6989s	done before and there's no way to avoid
6991s	that because for example now we're gonna
6993s	have a bunch of like fun arts with this
6996s	theme for other Brawlers yeah and if you
6998s	want to touch this theme in the future
6999s	like uh if we saw something in the past
7003s	like it's even harder to to have this
7006s	notion like I saw this and then it's in
7008s	the back of my mind or I'm using this
7010s	again or sometimes as you said like it's
7012s	just a perfect match like would be
7014s	perfect for them of course we are going
7016s	with this direction like why we should
7019s	avoid it's almost like how can we stop
7022s	that there's no way to stop you like I
7025s	try like we we I was talking to Ricardo
7027s	sometimes like I've bought some art uh
7029s	Concepts from uh artists for an artist
7032s	when it's like really close and then we
7034s	see like there's a potential drama here
7036s	and then we feel like maybe our Ward is
7039s	not enough so like we talked to the
7040s	artists we like close at the contract
7042s	with and we pay for the art and then but
7045s	it's really like yeah there was and it's
7047s	behind the scenes yeah sure and guys if
7050s	you saw like how how focused on Earth's
7052s	lick every day yeah and checking the
7056s	concepts that like our partners are
7058s	working on like I don't have time it's
7061s	like other stuff yeah
7063s	that's crazy uh I'm not running out of
7066s	ideas guys okay trust us that's actually
7069s	one question upon that song oh yeah uh
7071s	Michael uh we will ever uh see Keith
7074s	added to the game now you can tell them
7078s	[Laughter]
7080s	so
7082s	well that's that's really funny because
7084s	my art test The Joint brawl was to make
7088s	a brawler
7089s	and after having this conversation with
7091s	Paul when we match like the sense of
7093s	humor and craziness and everything I
7095s	think I got a kind of digged what kind
7098s	of what would make a brawler a brawler
7100s	and then I did this exploration
7102s	exploration for a third brawler for the
7104s	gift shop and my brother was a cat so we
7109s	actually have this cat brawler done like
7113s	it's completely there I I even moved
7115s	yeah it's approved improved because she
7118s	got it like the pings and everything
7120s	else I did I think it just didn't make a
7122s	skin but everything else I did I did
7124s	yeah I think
7126s	um
7127s	yeah but it's really cute I like it the
7130s	the result and when I presented I then I
7134s	heard after presenting the test that I
7137s	don't know if this is true but Paul
7139s	wasn't he didn't want to make a cat
7142s	brawler or something like that or
7144s	whatever
7146s	another cat I was like Jesus touching it
7150s	something that it's almost like oh I
7152s	hope that she don't rock it and then I
7154s	nearly recognize that nobody's just just
7156s	kidding but yeah the the funny thing is
7159s	that this brawler is ready is done but
7161s	of course who knows what I'm gonna do
7163s	well it's the trio is full for men you
7166s	know yeah sure was full yeah but it
7168s	would be oh it's cute yeah to balance
7172s	it's now a what's how do you say the
7174s	quartet I don't know
7179s	yeah and then you also for your test we
7184s	also remodel Penny remodel yeah yeah
7186s	that was also on my test the penny
7189s	remote and then you eventually made it
7191s	Cannon yeah yeah amazing design yeah
7193s	thanks
7195s	it's really cool from Leo
7198s	um
7201s	well maybe maybe yeah maybe is Mandy a
7205s	Brazilian girl it's noted that she has a
7207s	Brazilian influence on MC Mandy it's oh
7211s	it's MC because um
7231s	even the community knows no no it
7235s	doesn't have a it's not Brazilian but
7238s	yeah I was in fact the first sketch of
7241s	of this skin was like a Wu tank
7243s	skin that we we changed no we didn't
7246s	change it's just the logo
7248s	which they took the logo because we
7251s	don't want to yeah yeah we are not doing
7253s	a partnership here so and we will get
7256s	more diverse Brawlers like uh body
7258s	ethnicity disability and they he then
7263s	this person said Buster Fang and Maisie
7265s	were a step forward in that direction
7267s	um
7272s	yeah maybe it's a strong maybe
7276s	a strong maybe yeah strong maybe
7280s	Sonic how do you decide when you could
7283s	like shout out Sony shout out to Sonic
7287s	yes
7288s	how do you decide which brawler to do a
7291s	super sound make campaign instead of
7293s	Designing the skin the game thing I'll
7295s	tell you the truth it's me and Ricardo
7298s	it's like we cannot find a good idea for
7301s	his brother please let the community
7302s	help us know sometimes it's a mix of
7305s	that and it's mostly actually you like
7308s	you I push it yeah I push it because
7310s	because that's the thing they're already
7311s	so vocal producing stuff like in
7315s	creating stuff that it makes totally
7317s	sense to have those for sure yeah sure
7320s	it's like uh some Brawlers really need a
7322s	skin and we check those yeah and then
7324s	then He suggests a theme yeah or and
7326s	suggests like a couple of brawlers some
7328s	we even did like a voting thing right
7330s	one yeah that was really cool yeah we
7332s	could do that yeah more
7337s	yeah so I think for just to set the what
7341s	the players can expect now we only after
7344s	Fang we only have another one and then
7347s	for this year I think that's it because
7349s	I don't think we have the time to
7350s	implement the next one or or I don't
7353s	know I guess not to yeah but I don't
7354s	want to do a broadly days uh campaign
7357s	it's so lame
7359s	unless unless we do like something we
7361s	can have the mini Sim yeah the evil
7364s	probably days right or yeah I'm not sure
7366s	we're gonna do that yeah no who knows
7368s	how it's going to be this yeah this
7370s	Christmas we have some ideas yeah
7373s	uh
7375s	uh Papillon to Fernanda when designing
7378s	new Brawlers what do you go for do you
7380s	try to imitate Paul's art style way of
7383s	thinking the best as you can or do you
7385s	just go for what you feel inside you
7388s	do you feel something inside
7394s	I always go for something that make me
7397s	laugh it's the same it's it's even like
7400s	this thing about trying to go for like
7403s	something closer to to post style like I
7406s	think that the the cool thing uh that
7410s	happened in my during my interview when
7412s	I joined here it was that me and Paul we
7415s	had the same bass references like the
7418s	old cartoon stuff like the even the
7421s	Vintage anime style because I I think
7424s	he's not a big fan also but like the
7427s	sense of humor like The the weird creepy
7430s	cartoons like the dark jokes sometimes
7433s	like so we matched in a level that I
7436s	think it's more important to keep like
7438s	the core idea or bra of what is a
7442s	brawler alive so it's it's okay you have
7445s	to understand the design the language
7447s	itself is is the base
7449s	but if you understand what makes a
7452s	brawler a brawler then you're kind of
7454s	ready to do that so I really trust my I
7458s	don't know my art skills but my sense of
7460s	humor I really like when I'm having fun
7462s	with something and when I'm present like
7465s	the concepts for somebody and this
7467s	person also thinks that interesting it's
7469s	like this tickling in your brain I
7473s	believe in that that's my green flag to
7474s	to feel that one idea is strong so I try
7478s	to just have fun I think if it's I'm
7481s	having fun the whole team is having fun
7482s	during what we believe that is the best
7485s	the results being something fun for the
7488s	community it's just like it's it's kind
7491s	of natural so I try to go for that I
7495s	think it comes from a
7497s	from inside maybe it's black hard uh
7501s	black dark heart on you are you tired or
7504s	running out of ideas I guess it's for
7506s	everyone here already assuming yeah
7510s	there is a uh advice then like I love I
7514s	love relaxing by reading a book drinking
7516s	water for Better Health and eating food
7518s	used for energy every idea glows in my
7521s	mind a lot I think it's just like worry
7523s	about them yeah
7526s	but I think like there is a lot
7529s	[Laughter]
7533s	what do you do for a mental health
7535s	checking I think those were a really
7537s	good good advice yeah I think in Finland
7540s	here we have a wonderful nature and walk
7543s	outside in the nature is usually like
7545s	way great way to clear your mind minus
7548s	20. did you watch the lights
7551s	no I have not seen it because I always
7554s	checked it yesterday I was gonna say
7555s	that he he maybe has the same thing as
7557s	the you know Peter Parker like the older
7560s	guy was like hold my baby
7562s	oh my baby how does he say it's like
7565s	you're gonna feel rejuvenating yeah
7571s	but yeah that said like I don't think we
7574s	are running anytime soon out of ideas we
7577s	had like some kind of we don't really
7579s	either bother to keep like backlog of
7582s	all the ideas because there's so many
7583s	coming from every window and but you do
7586s	have like you have like yeah there's
7587s	like 35 I think currently like 30 let's
7590s	say the idea is not a problem yeah we're
7593s	tired but we still have ideas
7596s	you're still here okay he's still alive
7599s	yeah
7601s	um Sandia
7604s	um
7604s	how far in advance are official arts
7607s	concepts and models normally made before
7609s	releasing them yeah that's that's what I
7610s	mentioned like uh now we're a bit yeah
7613s	getting ahead like we're working on
7615s	stuff for like like two updates ahead I
7617s	think yeah so like four months but this
7619s	was this is a recent you know uh
7621s	achievement
7622s	I have uh
7625s	[Applause]
7625s	[Laughter]
7627s	[Applause]
7629s	yeah congratulations to everyone like
7632s	huge team efforts and then from the same
7634s	person a bit out of topic how do you
7636s	cast the voice actors to feed the
7638s	brothers personality
7641s	it's just like you throw a dice yeah
7643s	throw a dice yeah it's ah it's kind of
7646s	the same process when
7648s	um having when I'm pitching one idea to
7650s	Hawking what I do with Martin but I
7654s	usually write some backstory like how
7656s	this brawler behave blah blah blah I
7659s	always put some references from other
7661s	characters or actors about their acting
7664s	or about sense of humor about like
7667s	something that I think would be
7668s	interesting to have sometimes even like
7671s	oh I really like this voice here like
7673s	this type and it would be nice to find
7675s	somebody close to this and I got super
7678s	lucky with Martin since day one because
7680s	we just clicked also we have same sense
7683s	of humor same references it's completely
7686s	crazy so he always gets what I'm trying
7689s	to do
7690s	and he's always also concerned about
7693s	some details like for example when we
7695s	did Lola and he we we made sure to be
7700s	like a Latin person like doing the voice
7702s	and speaking and like this kind of
7705s	details I think is are also important so
7708s	it's it's usually like this back and
7710s	forth work but with Martin it's super
7712s	easy it's just like I brief crazy ideas
7714s	and got it it goes like three days here
7718s	voice actors and then I usually check by
7721s	myself but sometimes when I'm a bit of a
7723s	doubt I share with people like with Hank
7725s	we did this with hikardo and and Leo and
7729s	was really fun like we we are in sync
7731s	about the best Direction so
7733s	then there is one about the teams how do
7736s	you define those or like how do
7738s	how do you decide which one is the next
7741s	team
7742s	to create I think it usually starts with
7744s	the Brawlers right like the chromatic
7747s	brawler usually defines the theme and so
7749s	it all starts with fernanas ideas and
7752s	then we try to find like a a good match
7755s	you know like a thematic match yeah it's
7758s	like this puzzle of ideas because we
7760s	have the main bro we have a brawler that
7763s	has a like a concept like it's this part
7765s	of part of a all or stuff or candies or
7769s	whatever and sometimes we have the
7771s	environment not being part like the
7773s	environment of this brawler so we have
7775s	to find a reason to have this brawler
7778s	there and there's the second brawler
7780s	that is it's not related any of that so
7783s	we have to kind of mix like in in in
7785s	this case we have a brother from the
7789s	same environment so it's a bit easier
7790s	yeah this is one of the easier cases I
7793s	guess yeah but with biodome we were
7795s	mixing yeah rollers so it's the story
7797s	will be just can be a bit crazier
7800s	because of that but I usually try to
7803s	plan like for a year the areas that I
7807s	would like to explore Brawlers but
7809s	sometimes we have to switch because this
7811s	is a very organic process like even if I
7814s	plan okay every update we're gonna have
7816s	those Brawlers
7818s	he I I depend on what kind of idea I'm
7821s	gonna have in September and then I have
7823s	one brawler that it's like um I don't
7825s	know I almost say too much I have a
7828s	brawler there is a cactus and then we
7830s	already have I was planning to do
7833s	something for biodome on December and
7835s	then but this Cactus is perfect for
7837s	Halloween so then I have to change the
7839s	other thing because of those
7841s	coincidences and even planning mechanics
7844s	like we did we were trying to aim for
7846s	some type type of mechanics and at the
7849s	end of the meeting I was with Frank and
7851s	Adrian's like okay we we decided and
7853s	then when they start to sketch the idea
7855s	so it's not going to be a Millie anymore
7857s	it's like it's you depend on the process
7860s	yeah you have to see yeah I I feel that
7863s	people hate this answer but when we are
7865s	in those meetings and they say yeah
7867s	what's going to be the next team and
7868s	depends on the brother and everybody
7870s	looks at me and I'm like I don't know
7872s	it's in my head still so
7875s	yeah but it is a fun process I think
7877s	like we sometimes it's not obvious at
7880s	all like for example RTE you know
7882s	because it's this Hub area it wasn't
7884s	immediately clear what we would do for
7886s	skins for example like this for the main
7888s	theme you know uh because we were like
7890s	okay we could do what we did for uh the
7893s	gift shop update where there's like
7895s	these you know like fans and stuff that
7898s	come to the park swag and but we ended
7901s	up with the Spy theme you know so
7902s	because we focused on this particular
7904s	aspect of RT of the character the
7906s	mystery yeah so it works like that or
7909s	sometimes we're revisiting a theme for
7911s	example we're introducing a brawler like
7913s	Sam you know which is part of Bell's
7915s	Trio so we've already done we've already
7917s	done a main theme that that was meant to
7919s	accommodate Bell and then we introduced
7922s	Sam we need to revisit this Trio this I
7924s	mean this theme but we want to spice it
7926s	up right so we need to always like come
7928s	up with a new thing uh like a new
7931s	um inspiration or just a new twist that
7934s	kind of spices things up yeah so yeah
7936s	that's part of the challenge but it's
7938s	very organic like we just talked with
7940s	the team you know and particularly like
7943s	fernan and I that's that's mostly yeah
7945s	we usually drive those together
7948s	from Reddit Noob uh are you guys I guess
7953s	it's like the same with like the remodel
7955s	from Brawlers but like so far animations
7957s	because he's saying that there is the
7959s	recent ones have a lot more personality
7961s	and if we plan to go back in the
7963s	animations of each brawler
7965s	just by thinking of them I know
7969s	maybe you should ask clear yeah
7973s	you're talking about like the win anime
7975s	yeah win and lose the animation right
7978s	yeah I remember once Felix was in an
7982s	interview with Lex as well and he said
7984s	like yeah because spike is just like do
7986s	this which is kind of characteristic of
7989s	him but like if he felt like spikes are
7992s	or mascot right so maybe he deserved a
7994s	bit right maybe maybe we need to you
7996s	know get Leo and Praveen in a room
8001s	just put them together and work it out
8004s	make it work it for sure I think that
8007s	would be cool it's true that some
8009s	animations are a bit uh yeah like yeah
8011s	yeah just compared with the they're
8014s	iconic like I remember for example Crow
8016s	uh I remember yeah like Felix wanted to
8019s	keep that because before it was just
8021s	that and now it's like badass and cool
8023s	but he retained that iconic pose at the
8026s	end so he could do something like that
8028s	control and speaking no no I guess not
8030s	speaking of crow but like uh we could be
8033s	speaking of course Ginger
8037s	said uh what what is like um a brawler
8040s	or skiing that you are most proud of
8042s	maybe one of each
8043s	problem you want to start yeah
8045s	jokes I think like yeah probably like
8051s	Sam but I think he was like one of the
8054s	the first one where I kind of felt like
8057s	I did take a bigger risk
8060s	and then it felt like it paid out in
8063s	that sense like
8065s	after like working a couple Brawlers
8067s	before that was like kind of the time to
8069s	do try to do something a bit more
8071s	complex
8073s	um and then exactly it was I think one
8076s	of the first melee brothers too I worked
8078s	on
8079s	so yeah that
8081s	and Chester has a special place in mind
8084s	he's amazing Chester is cool but doesn't
8087s	everyone just cycle the abilities until
8088s	you get the explosion
8092s	I always equip the gadget that allows
8094s	you to cycle yeah when the stun was
8097s	really powerful then this stun is okay
8098s	but the explosion isn't you know one hit
8101s	one kill thing almost so yeah
8104s	how about you I think it's Bonnie it's
8107s	my favorite and uh when I was
8110s	thinking about the explosive stuff I was
8113s	also with something girl have references
8116s	in my mind that I ended up not using it
8118s	but just a helmet yeah I think she's my
8122s	favorite yeah Barney is really adorable
8124s	Bonnie is great and the voice actress is
8126s	amazing yeah like that's a proper you
8128s	know like is this she a kid because oh
8131s	damn she really can make cookies really
8133s	good really incredible because that's
8134s	really hard yeah yeah I think like we
8136s	were just listening to Leon Leon's like
8139s	35 years old is
8145s	we like him you know don't get this
8147s	wrong it's just it's just doesn't come
8148s	across as a kid is my point yeah but I'd
8151s	like to hear your favorite skins as well
8153s	you know like
8155s	if you have any oh Lola Lawless Lola but
8158s	because she drew it oh my
8162s	God what is your favorite skin is
8164s	more he's most proud of so okay
8171s	okay so from like 300 skins you picked
8176s	your like the Lawless enough
8180s	uh you go favorite brawler and uh
8183s	favorite brawler is called to always be
8185s	called
8186s	um but from the ones you designed
8189s	um Sam possibly Sam and also love Bonnie
8193s	of course oh my I have to mention my
8195s	favorite one from Paul to Ash I know
8198s	yeah yeah I love grief because it's a
8201s	trash can
8203s	she's also amazing I think it's those
8206s	are my favorite too yeah she's fun and
8208s	skin how about the crow because you
8211s	remodel Crow and you have so many
8213s	remodel Phoenix Right Crow is like I'm
8215s	really proud of the model it was not
8217s	because I'm happy with my work I'm never
8219s	happy with my work
8220s	we'll make it clear yeah it was more
8223s	like I made it and feel which was the
8226s	artist who I was replacing he moved on
8228s	to another project when I joined he was
8230s	he approved it so I was like okay I'm
8233s	ready I'm good because dude I was
8235s	terrified like it was really uh
8237s	challenging too although like the models
8239s	are really simple but yeah you know when
8241s	you're you join super because you don't
8243s	want to to change it that much so it has
8246s	this it has to be the same uh yeah yeah
8248s	or else yeah the expectations as well
8250s	but also because like feel is very like
8252s	uh how do you call it
8254s	um he won't he won he has a night for
8257s	details so he was really like checking
8259s	everything like the wireframe and stuff
8261s	so I was really
8263s	no but I think it's amazing like Lex can
8265s	vouch for that he he loves both the
8267s	model in there oh that's that video
8269s	likes video where he reacts to Crow and
8272s	and white crow yeah I'll never forget I
8276s	love these reactions shout out to like
8278s	shout out shout out to Lex yeah Yeah we
8280s	actually invited but he couldn't uh yeah
8283s	uh he'll be in another one though
8286s	um
8287s	we are almost done don't worry my fellow
8291s	companions uh wise uh this is from
8295s	Havish a white Spike the face of Star
8298s	Park
8299s	spikes out of the face is the stone well
8301s	it's kind of it's a star
8303s	isn't it cold I would say it's cold no I
8306s	think the logo the star parked logo logo
8308s	the happy face happy yellow faces
8312s	it's a happy the the happy face on the
8316s	star it's a character it's yeah I think
8318s	this person means that just he just
8321s	assumed that it's not like the mascot
8322s	yeah but I would say it's cold I thought
8324s	this is the mascot not the mascot kind
8326s	of like the face of yeah Star Park yeah
8329s	I think it's because we well I keep
8331s	adding spike in every illustration we do
8333s	so
8335s	the spike is very iconic right like very
8337s	simple yeah so it works well as a mascot
8340s	as well because I like the mystery he's
8341s	almost like a cycle that's like always
8344s	there and then you don't know what he's
8345s	gonna do right yeah he's just like
8346s	looking at you and then is this I think
8349s	has some some pillars on on Broad and
8351s	Spike like yeah cute but there's some
8354s	Darkness yeah like is this friendly you
8357s	know you're still gonna kill mark yeah
8359s	you can use on the game as well
8364s	um
8366s	I can skip that one from synced how do
8370s	you balance a new brawler with Unique
8372s	Mechanics what determines exactly Health
8374s	damage range reload blah blah together
8377s	with the mechanic so like how how do you
8379s	balance that yeah I guess that would be
8381s	a like a
8383s	better question for Adrian
8387s	and forward yeah he does most of the
8391s	balancing work and but but I mean most
8394s	of it still comes like initially like
8397s	after the first play tests
8399s	if you like when we play together it's
8402s	quite obvious like then there if it's
8404s	feels like underwhelming it's not
8406s	powerful enough or if he feels like
8408s	totally op so it's just true that kind
8410s	of iteration of course the kind of the
8412s	first initial numbers uh we put in like
8417s	usually we have like take some kind of
8419s	reference or have an idea but that's
8421s	just like the first is always like a
8423s	guess and you need to just play it and
8425s	then feel it
8426s	feel it are out and I think quite often
8429s	for me when I I do for example the first
8431s	prototypes for Brawlers and uh I usually
8436s	test them then and play against bots
8438s	right when I play like on my development
8441s	computer and test them out the first
8443s	time and that's really different than
8445s	playing against Real players so yeah so
8448s	usually the guess is like completely
8450s	wrong but then when we actually play We
8451s	like realize like
8453s	yeah we need to change them and even so
8455s	like even if we test you know in our
8457s	internal tests we're all sometimes we're
8459s	surprised with how actually like much
8461s	stronger the characters are weaker
8463s	actually right when it gets out into the
8465s	wild yeah yeah because I guess no no
8468s	automation or tests will be like a
8472s	million players playing this that's a
8474s	real trip
8476s	yeah so then the like data and analytics
8479s	and then feedback from the community is
8482s	definitely like instrumental yeah
8484s	instrumental for that yeah
8486s	from the Hulk 27 that's I think it's a
8489s	really cool question like what brawler
8490s	if any was a big letdown in terms of
8493s	like we're thought it's gonna be like a
8495s	super popular brawler and then it didn't
8497s	uh work out
8502s	I think it's usually tied to the power
8505s	of the brawler because like we have one
8508s	actually like yeah like Colette yeah I
8510s	was gonna mention like remember the
8512s	reaction to her she's something she's
8514s	like designed yeah yeah design is so
8517s	cool personality she has everything yeah
8519s	but then she was so weak she was really
8521s	weak on the release and all the
8522s	YouTubers were like you know she's trash
8524s	yeah yeah I remember the thumbnails and
8527s	that really yeah yeah and she was like
8530s	really she's still kind of mechanically
8531s	challenging I guess yeah so there's
8533s	something to it because her damage is
8535s	like a percentage of the opponent uh
8538s	Health she wasn't like self-sufficient
8540s	at first right yeah now she's an inviter
8542s	in the Pro scene she's picked like as a
8544s	counter for them yeah of course but yeah
8547s	poor Colette such a good design I think
8551s	for for me it's more the surprise about
8553s	because we have like the main brawler
8555s	and the second brawler usually in the
8557s	seasons it's it's funny because like for
8561s	Gus Gus and Buster like Gus
8564s	yeah yeah the show and everybody was
8566s	just talking about at the same time as
8568s	Sam right not yeah yeah poster came
8570s	afterwards it's just because they were
8571s	in the same animation oh yeah yeah but
8573s	yeah we're mixing images
8575s	but it's true that girls I think stole
8577s	the show
8579s	um yeah versus Sam yeah yeah it was a
8581s	bit Yeah interesting I was also like
8584s	kind of expecting Willow to really take
8586s	off you know yeah it was but I think
8589s	she's not super popular I think it's a
8590s	gameplay because she's so she's tricky
8592s	complex yeah yeah how about Hank did you
8596s	expect
8597s	well but he was releasing Mega broken
8600s	yeah yeah but I think the the overall
8604s	like feedback was yeah yeah they're like
8608s	the hype was big before talking about
8612s	like expected versus unexpected things
8614s	like I was mind blown with how horny the
8617s	community was with Grom
8621s	this was like
8624s	[Music]
8626s	it was like like a weird guy yeah
8631s	spicy from ours that we saw I think
8633s	people like a broken guy you know yeah
8636s	same with two you know it's kind of
8638s	damaged
8640s	wow yeah yeah but I think we'd love to
8643s	see that yeah one that had a plot twist
8645s	I think Buster when he released before
8647s	like complaining about ah the design is
8649s	not there but I think it took time for
8651s	people to understand Buster once they
8653s	got the personality and the relationship
8655s	with Fang now Buster is loved and I
8657s	think
8658s	yeah like when we're announcing brow
8660s	talk we got a lot of hate but when we
8662s	start like uh
8666s	yeah we did like the poster where he's
8668s	like being all the roles of his own
8670s	movie and then the community like starts
8672s	getting embracing understanding it's
8675s	about to understand the character like
8677s	yeah right they they are always planned
8679s	to be like in this Trio
8683s	um like the the way that they are
8686s	created is based on the trio so they
8688s	don't exist by themselves so it's always
8690s	one compliment and you always like
8692s	developed these really nice Dynamics
8694s	between the characters and these stories
8696s	that are really hard to convey yeah we
8698s	just don't have the time you know it's
8700s	really like a lack of time we're spread
8702s	too thin at this you know yeah so it's
8705s	nice like Community illustrations of
8707s	course like really I was really happy
8708s	with the comics when we could score a
8711s	bit more of that
8712s	and is there a one that was like the
8715s	opposite is that actually from the same
8717s	guy so like uh something that we thought
8719s	like uh maybe that's not gonna land and
8721s	then it's one of the most beloved
8723s	Brawlers hmm I guess Hank now like it's
8726s	kind of funny yeah I think I wasn't yeah
8729s	I think so like at least in the play
8731s	tests internally and overall like I
8733s	think the field was like
8735s	well yeah he's he's definitely like has
8738s	powerful and we did think that but not
8740s	like on the scale right like when he was
8743s	released so and Meg Meg but it this is
8746s	the other point man I'm still surprised
8748s	that she's not this is a Mecca driver
8750s	what the heck I think it's gameplay
8752s	because before before it was too
8755s	punishing true that was better yeah yeah
8757s	you start like super weak and like if
8760s	you if you don't have the skills then
8761s	you are adjusting forever
8763s	yeah but I think the design is really
8765s	cool and I think like the trio Max Max
8767s	Trio is super cool yeah I think Nani
8771s	maybe it's to me it's kind of funny that
8773s	he has such a big support yeah yeah
8775s	there's this she has like the most
8777s	dedicated fans of all time it's insane
8779s	it's a little silly robot right like
8782s	okay but there was like subscribe flow
8784s	but yeah but okay
8786s	you know do you have like your own one
8788s	from me like do you have a favorite Trio
8793s	maybe that I've
8795s	favorite Trio and the most
8797s	despised wow
8799s	I know yours despise Rio you know yes no
8804s	I I don't I think please tell me because
8806s	it's uh Piper uh Byron and yeah and
8811s	barley why because it's so hard to uh
8814s	yeah it's it's more when we were like
8817s	discussing like the Dynamics between the
8820s	characters it but it's not bad it was
8824s	just a bit more hard complicated it's
8825s	complicated because for example Tara
8827s	Sandy and Jin Jin it was hard in the
8832s	beginning but then we came up with
8833s	something really cool to make the the
8835s	story of the trio work together yeah
8839s	yeah but it's happening in the
8841s	background yeah
8843s	but the characters alone I really liked
8845s	it but barley would be my favorite
8849s	Piper is yours but my favorite Trio like
8852s	two trios to me the classic Trio
8856s	cult in Shelley yes but B yeah and I
8860s	think uh the second I really like
8863s	um
8864s	the turbo theater but to me I think a
8868s	stunt show with the girls and two like
8871s	the to me was very very nice to see how
8875s	the community react to the Brawlers and
8878s	to kind of highlight to even more like
8881s	not just bring the girls and it doesn't
8884s	felt like uh weird how the family works
8888s	together to me I was very happy to see
8890s	hey this kind of works like those
8892s	planets and it's so nice that like uh
8895s	it's almost like um I don't know if you
8897s	do like um analogy to like Society how
8900s	they Embrace this kind of broken family
8902s	right because adopted adoptive father
8904s	without like a mother or anything and
8907s	nobody has like why why the father of
8911s	those the kids are like a robot yeah
8913s	it's really cool yeah very wholesome
8916s	yeah I love the reaction of the
8917s	community as well yeah yeah from
8919s	Fernandez I think my favorite Trio is
8921s	probably Belle and I Sam I really like
8926s	that kind of yeah well I guess Sam is
8930s	Paul's yeah and I really love the gift
8933s	shop Trio uh well the community also
8936s	loves them they're amazing they're
8938s	amazing and have you seen the parody
8939s	with SpongeBob yeah it's like it fits so
8942s	well too well yeah Colette's been crazy
8945s	like SpongeBob and yeah about your
8948s	joking yeah I think it's probably the
8950s	stunt so like Trio It just fits so well
8953s	but it's it's I think hard to pick
8955s	especially because not all the trios are
8958s	complete yet yeah and and there might be
8961s	a trio that I'm thinking that might be
8963s	my favorite but I just want to miss if
8965s	they get because it's not yet
8967s	wait but when it's complete
8973s	[Music]
8974s	there's many great Traders it's so hard
8976s	to pick a favorite one yeah
8977s	but yeah I think like one thing that I
8980s	would I like to see in the trios like
8982s	besides of course this kind of uh that
8984s	the trio is are com like work together
8987s	in the story side and on the team but
8990s	also like that there would be something
8992s	that on the gameplay kind of would
8993s	connect them and that they would work
8995s	really well together
8997s	that's something that we have been
8999s	trying to like combo a bit more yeah
9002s	like of course it the meta changes
9005s	everything that that yeah depends on the
9007s	map and everything and it will not
9008s	always be but at least they would be
9009s	like viable to play maybe after three oh
9012s	yeah
9014s	cool I guess that was like the last
9016s	question last question so thank you
9018s	everyone for your time thank you for the
9020s	crude for watching us for two hours and
9023s	a half and
9026s	um yeah you're gonna say like something

9062s	like thanks guys for the support it's
9064s	really really important

9069s	the community just the
9071s	the some stuff out I'm not a very like
9074s	I don't know social media person of
9077s	social media so it's hard to post stuff
9080s	but I will make some effort to I don't
9083s	know show off a bit more often
9086s	but then like in this two hours you've
9088s	done more than many other people uh in
9091s	the industry two hours talking yeah
9093s	maybe people is like yeah enough yeah we
9096s	don't need money yeah it's like yeah
9099s	yeah but I think it's thank you for all
9102s	the support not only the Brazilian
9103s	Community but the whole community of
9105s	brow it's amazing to be part of this
9108s	like great family
9111s	no but it's amazing to be part of a game
9114s	community that it's so uh heavily
9117s	inspired by art by those characters like
9120s	it's not just only about the game but
9122s	the brow Universe uh to me it's like a
9125s	huge honor to be this IP holder right
9127s	now because I the I say this everybody
9130s	bro was the first mobile game that I saw
9132s	and I actually see oh finally I did
9136s	something no uh it was love at first
9139s	sight with brawl and uh I would never
9142s	imagine that one day I would be here
9144s	today like creating those characters
9146s	just keeping this amazing work that Paul
9148s	started so to me it's like a huge honor
9151s	like one of the reasons of the stunt
9153s	show being also my favorite Trio is that
9155s	to me whenever I feel that I can do this
9158s	late collaboration yeah yeah it feels
9161s	amazing because it's like okay like we
9164s	making my best achieve yeah this is
9167s	standard so it's really really special
9170s	and if everybody if anybody has
9173s	something against my designs catch me in
9175s	person here because I don't discuss on
9177s	Twitter and yeah I think that's it
9181s	am I in shout out to amazing Bro Team
9185s	and our team that it's it's only because
9187s	of those guys that we can deliver these
9190s	updates it's insane it's crazy but the

9211s	community I think like it's for the best
9214s	I've worked with but I think it's I
9216s	would say it's the best in the gaming
9218s	industry because like of course like we
9220s	kind of build trust and like this is
9222s	basically like a Dev and Community
9223s	relationship but I think the fact that
9225s	they understand some things when we can
9228s	we have the freedom to be honest and
9230s	transparent with them with bad news or
9232s	like when we release a new update and
9234s	there's plenty of bugs they're like okay
9236s	we know they're gonna fix it like it's
