| 4s | I am one of the Eco developers and I'll |
| 7s | be doing some streams every week to show |
| 11s | some of the Eco features that we have |
| 13s | been working on so the idea uh on every |
| 16s | stream is to have another developer so I |
| 20s | guess |
| 20s | right now it does is another developer |
| 23s | his name is Jordan Jordan do you want to |
| 25s | introduce you introduce yourself |
| 28s | uh sure hi I am Jordan some people in |
| 32s | the community may know me as the test |
| 33s | game or test I do a lot of the tech and |
| 39s | behind the scenes kind of stuff for Eco |
| 42s | as well as the uh the mod kit |
| 46s | hey nice well the the Jordan uh and yeah |
| 50s | he he's like the expert of the mods so |
| 53s | feel free to ask questions that we will |
| 55s | be checking at the end of The Stream So |
| 57s | first let's talk what are the system is |
| 59s | about so the idea is that we will we are |
| 62s | going to have streams every week to show |
| 64s | some features that are already |
| 65s | implemented but that maybe you are not |
| 68s | aware of them and also to talk about the |
| 71s | features that we are working on |
| 73s | and here comes uh first really important |
| 76s | disclaimer and it is that uh it is |
| 81s | really important for us that you |
| 82s | understand that the things that we are |
| 84s | working on not necessarily are going to |
| 86s | be on the game |
| 88s | so it it depends I mean there is no |
| 93s | let me explain uh we everything that we |
| 96s | Implement a feature we do something |
| 99s | called an internal play test what is |
| 101s | that where basically all the developers |
| 103s | play the game we joined as airplane as |
| 106s | players and then we test the servers but |
| 109s | in the perspective of a player So based |
| 111s | on that we may decide if the feature is |
| 114s | worth keeping or if maybe it goes |
| 116s | against the gameplay maybe it is too |
| 118s | confusing |
| 119s | and well also some technical things like |
| 122s | maybe it affects the performance too |
| 123s | much and stuff like that so what we are |
| 126s | going to see that is work on progress is |
| 128s | not always going to be including the |
| 130s | game but we hope that it is including |
| 132s | the game also for our DC streams we are |
| 134s | going to have uh different streams we |
| 137s | are going to have uh some more focus on |
| 140s | gameplay design so feel free to join |
| 142s | those and ask whatever you you want to |
| 145s | to ask or comment about our gameplay now |
| 148s | even more important that to talk about |
| 150s | the features and the gameplay we would |
| 153s | like that this streams become a space |
| 155s | where we can talk to the community where |
| 158s | we can hear the questions that you have |
| 160s | the comments that you have |
| 162s | know what you think about the features |
| 164s | that we have been working now when you |
| 166s | think about the complete decisions that |
| 168s | we have been making and also we are open |
| 170s | to here ideas about uh what what |
| 173s | expectations do you have about these |
| 175s | streams let us know what do you like to |
| 177s | see in the streams and we can make plans |
| 179s | for the Nexus and strings |
| 185s | is that uh this is my first stream and |
| 189s | as you can imagine my main language is |
| 191s | Spanish so we may have uh technical |
| 194s | issues I mean we have issues because |
| 197s | when on for my first stream we have |
| 199s | Isuzu vs or lighten up whatever and |
| 203s | second I am quite aware that my English |
| 205s | is way too far from perfect and |
| 207s | sometimes maybe hard to understand me so |
| 210s | feel free to use the chat when you don't |
| 212s | understand something |
| 213s | [Music] |
| 215s | um |
| 215s | yeah well the the idea is that |
| 218s | that everything is as clear as possible |
| 220s | we'll try to to check the chat to to |
| 224s | help when when something is not clear |
| 226s | uh well now that we are done with this |
| 228s | with the disclaimers let's talk about |
| 231s | the the features I would like to start |
| 234s | with a feature that I've been working on |
| 236s | and it's a feature that I have been |
| 238s | working on with John one CEO |
| 253s | stuff that you are going to see is the |
| 255s | minimum |
| 256s | and what we see here is some potential |
| 259s | uh initial points for dependence of the |
| 261s | game uh I mean it depends on every |
| 263s | player but for example every time that I |
| 265s | start the game in another position I |
| 267s | always check the map and try to find |
| 270s | something that is |
| 281s | is that |
| 284s | is |
| 287s | based on |
| 290s | uh well I'm based on the decisions |
| 294s | to select uh dimensional point that fits |
| 298s | you with so for example we have here |
| 300s | some great I'll constantly here is that |
| 303s | this means that these places are close |
| 306s | to the wild animals so you solid focus |
| 310s | more on Hunting it's pleasure for you to |
| 312s | stop you need to have different |
| 315s | spots like the green ones for example |
| 317s | mean that is close to the forest it'd be |
| 320s | nice if you would like to work with wood |
| 322s | for example and we also have |
| 326s | um |
| 329s | please give me a second I think I'm I'm |
| 332s | having some issues with the audio as if |
| 335s | you don't do |
| 336s | okay |
| 338s | yeah I think I think that my microphone |
| 340s | is just too far and I have that uh like |
| 343s | noise reduction uh |
| 346s | feature enabled uh |
| 349s | uh and and sometimes I imagine that I |
| 352s | speak so loud that |
| 354s | it recognizes as a as a noise I imagine |
| 358s | uh okay sorry about that |
| 361s | um a little recapped so we have some |
| 364s | initial points |
| 366s | you can select your initial Point based |
| 369s | on what fits you better for example if |
| 372s | you are usually into farming |
| 374s | these like orange spots are going to be |
| 377s | places that are like real playing where |
| 380s | you can store your Farms with business |
| 382s | issues green indicates that we are going |
| 385s | to be close to a forest in the start and |
| 388s | we also have different ones for one foot |
| 391s | now here we don't have any surrounding |
| 394s | yet |
| 394s | I mean I know that not everyone is is |
| 397s | aware about settlements but settlements |
| 400s | is a new feature that we have been |
| 402s | working on I won't do a lot of spoilers |
| 405s | over that feature because it's a feature |
| 408s | that is going to have its own stream and |
| 411s | it's on demo so let's just think of |
| 414s | settlements like cities or countries but |
| 416s | but let's say Series so imagine that you |
| 419s | join a server that's that has already |
| 421s | started in they already have that series |
| 424s | they have different cities around the |
| 426s | world |
| 427s | each City may have its own rules its own |
| 430s | preference for new players and based on |
| 434s | that you could |
| 436s | basically start like yeah I want to |
| 438s | serve near the forest or no I would like |
| 440s | to study in a settlement so Solomon |
| 443s | should also be available here but as I |
| 445s | mentioned we were going to to talk more |
| 448s | about that feature later so right now |
| 450s | let's start in a place where I actually |
| 452s | with a start as a player I prefer to |
| 455s | start as I mentioned close to the |
| 457s | warrior and close to the forest I'm |
| 460s | almost sure that is |
| 462s | this this would be a good place for me |
| 465s | for example to start so I just press |
| 467s | this over here |
| 469s | um well please it's going to solve that |
| 471s | supposedly oh |
| 473s | yeah that was definitely not supposed to |
| 476s | happen |
| 477s | uh sorry about that |
| 479s | technically just so as I mentioned this |
| 481s | is uh |
| 482s | the develop |
| 484s | um |
| 485s | Branch for actually more information we |
| 488s | have isolated the project in different |
| 491s | like branches so we have the one that |
| 494s | you play on this team that is supposed |
| 496s | to be book free and we have one when we |
| 499s | work all the features and the new |
| 501s | features sometimes have inches so that's |
| 503s | why that's isolated from the game uh and |
| 506s | yeah it does it a bunch of times before |
| 507s | of the stream and never Crash Pad but |
| 510s | yeah |
| 511s | that's always uh |
| 513s | something that that may happen either be |
| 515s | of course be fixed a |
| 518s | before the |
| 521s | before we eventually we launched it into |
| 523s | the game |
| 525s | so about the starting points we have uh |
| 527s | initial questions and an initial |
| 529s | question and it's if this third point is |
| 533s | defined by the Admin so how it works |
| 536s | right now is that those initial points |
| 539s | that we saw on |
| 540s | uh let's let me show it again with |
| 543s | another con because this one really |
| 545s | is this book so so what happens is that |
| 550s | the server use an algorithm called |
| 554s | clustering so the clustering algorithm |
| 557s | automatically select those initial |
| 559s | points but it will also take into |
| 562s | consideration the settlements that |
| 565s | already exist on the game so the server |
| 568s | takes some points that they were |
| 571s | automatically selected by the server but |
| 574s | we'll also consider the the already |
| 576s | existence series |
| 578s | but we can talk about that for example |
| 580s | as uh as an admin uh do you think that |
| 585s | it should be defined by the admins or do |
| 587s | you prefer that is a feature that is |
| 590s | selected automatically or do you want |
| 592s | like a mixture like I want to have the |
| 594s | option to place them myself to remove |
| 597s | some points because I can't say based on |
| 600s | that question I can see like there's |
| 602s | some useful scenarios where you would |
| 605s | like to to select the points I'm sorry |
| 607s | I'm going to to log with a random |
| 609s | account |
| 611s | so so for example imagine that if I am |
| 613s | the admin and I know the I like to have |
| 616s | more Farmers on the game I could remove |
| 620s | some initial points like I know I don't |
| 622s | want people starting the forest we |
| 624s | already have a lot of people working |
| 625s | there so maybe I'm going to move the |
| 627s | points or new players start here I I |
| 630s | think that that could be |
| 631s | interesting is not how it works now it's |
| 633s | not holding its plan but but yeah feel |
| 636s | free to comment about that feature so as |
| 639s | I mentioned we can uh improve based on |
| 641s | the feedback so here again let's hope it |
| 644s | doesn't crash again |
| 646s | and let's select a random pointer yeah |
| 650s | here light works |
| 652s | so yeah once you select the point you're |
| 654s | going to start on that point |
| 657s | and as it mentioned for example this is |
| 660s | a point close to one foot so I should |
| 662s | already see some old animals here nice |
| 665s | place to sell if you you're into hunting |
| 668s | so I'll yes I'll talk now our the second |
| 671s | feature I'm sorry about the debug and |
| 673s | the first one uh |
| 675s | yeah that that stuff happens sometimes |
| 678s | for us developer time and we of course |
| 680s | work on that before the launch so for |
| 683s | the second feature there is one feature |
| 685s | that is already implemented but I'm not |
| 687s | sure if if a lot of people is aware of |
| 689s | that it's a feature that I implemented |
| 691s | and that I really liked and it is the |
| 693s | AFK system so what is an AFK system is |
| 697s | basically a system that checks when |
| 699s | layers are inactive of their some period |
| 703s | of time and they basically keep them out |
| 706s | of the server |
| 707s | it is important because as you can |
| 710s | imagine the performance on the server |
| 712s | depends on the amount of people you have |
| 714s | if you have less people well the This |
| 717s | Server will |
| 718s | perform better and it makes no sense to |
| 722s | have people that haven't been active in |
| 725s | a while I mean they had players is is |
| 727s | been there for three hours and hasn't |
| 729s | done or write anything so so why do I |
| 732s | need to happen in my circle right now I |
| 734s | can kick it kick him and once he come |
| 737s | back to a computer he just needs to |
| 738s | login again I mean really easy just give |
| 741s | me a second |
| 751s | to enable this feature |
| 753s | on This Server you will see these two |
| 756s | parameters the first one is time |
| 758s | required for AFK it means how many time |
| 762s | do you need in minutes to consider that |
| 766s | someone that someone is inactive |
| 770s | so if the value is zero or you can even |
| 773s | use a negative value it means that you |
| 775s | don't want this feature uninsurable like |
| 777s | like yeah I don't mind I don't mind if |
| 778s | people are inactive so I'm just going to |
| 780s | leave it in zero if you change it for |
| 782s | example right 60 it means that after one |
| 785s | hour a player that hasn't moved at all |
| 788s | that hasn't moved the mouse or the |
| 789s | keyboard will be considered inactive and |
| 792s | will be |
| 793s | uh kicked from the server of course you |
| 795s | will get our enemy he will get a pop-up |
| 797s | warning and he can move like oh yeah I |
| 800s | don't want to be kick out and like he |
| 801s | can move the mouse or keyboard or |
| 803s | anything and he will be considered again |
| 804s | as an active player and won't be kicked |
| 807s | uh this works with minutes or 60 would |
| 810s | mean an hour one would be one minute one |
| 812s | you can even use decimals I don't think |
| 815s | that's a good idea because it would be |
| 817s | like uh too little time but I'll do it |
| 820s | right now for the for the test so I have |
| 823s | my player here |
| 824s | and I'm going to to use a 0.1 meaning 6 |
| 831s | seconds say Factor at 6 seconds I am |
| 834s | inactive I should get a pop-up |
| 836s | with our link here it is |
| 838s | and the warning has like a countdown if |
| 842s | I the move after 10 seconds then I'll |
| 845s | become server but if I move the mouse |
| 847s | from the keyboard then I'll be a |
| 850s | disabled again |
| 852s | uh I'm sorry I do a small post about the |
| 857s | feature I'm talking about right now that |
| 860s | is the AFK system let's see it's a |
| 863s | bigger value here because I don't want |
| 864s | to get gigaby I'll talk uh to answer |
| 867s | that different question that we have so |
| 869s | we have a question about the the last uh |
| 873s | feature that I was talking about initial |
| 874s | spawn point |
| 876s | uh it says if a few people have already |
| 879s | built in for this area well it then |
| 882s | still show that spot as a good for this |
| 885s | spot that's that's a good question I |
| 887s | mean right now we haven't done a lot of |
| 889s | testing on on this feature because it's |
| 892s | extremely new I mean it's like a feature |
| 894s | that we start working on for a couple of |
| 897s | weeks basically uh right now the server |
| 901s | takes the the spots automatically based |
| 906s | on the layers I'm not sure how updated |
| 910s | they are at the moment the points are |
| 912s | created because I have the idea that |
| 915s | they are created at the beginning I mean |
| 917s | when the server starts but it's not |
| 919s | updated based on the time but that's |
| 921s | actually something really important to |
| 923s | to take into consideration we we can |
| 925s | check that because if the points are |
| 928s | defined when the server is created and |
| 930s | of course the game change or when the |
| 934s | time passes those expose that we |
| 938s | initially defined may not be as good as |
| 942s | we would like so that that's a really |
| 945s | good question and we will really look |
| 946s | into that to check if |
| 949s | it just points keep being valid I mean |
| 952s | it would be awful to start yeah I want |
| 953s | to start in this project you start and |
| 955s | now it's a city because the the forest |
| 958s | is is gone for a while so yeah yeah no |
| 960s | that's that's a a nice question is |
| 963s | comment that will take into |
| 965s | consideration thanks for that |
| 967s | so going back to to the Future I'm |
| 970s | talking about right now and and also |
| 972s | feel free to to ask questions about this |
| 974s | AFK system feature so as I mentioned |
| 977s | this would be the time required if you |
| 979s | don't want to use the the feature |
| 981s | remember that you can just set it in |
| 982s | zero it's actually the default value so |
| 984s | if you just start the server default |
| 987s | value 0 and it won't be a |
| 990s | you won't have any |
| 991s | also for admins it's important to know |
| 995s | that they are not part of the HK system |
| 997s | I mean if you are the admin of the |
| 999s | server you can be inactive and you will |
| 1001s | never be kick off the system |
| 1003s | also do we have another parameter here |
| 1006s | that is important for for this feature |
| 1008s | and it is the required occupancy before |
| 1012s | dfk system effect |
| 1015s | the default value is zero it means that |
| 1018s | it doesn't matter if you have people |
| 1020s | connected them in server or if you just |
| 1022s | have three people connecting with server |
| 1024s | once a player is inactive it will be |
| 1026s | kicked that's what what zero means it |
| 1028s | doesn't matter to your coupons you will |
| 1030s | just use the system no matter what but |
| 1033s | you can also change this value for |
| 1035s | example I can say now I just want that |
| 1038s | when my server reached 50 percent of the |
| 1041s | occupancy and the system is enabled so |
| 1045s | let's imagine that we have a server uh |
| 1049s | class uh |
| 1050s | 60 default |
| 1053s | but once you finish theoretic players |
| 1055s | this system will react before that |
| 1058s | it is important to understand that |
| 1063s | the final configuration |
| 1066s | for example if we |
| 1070s | the specific message |
| 1083s | because it seems like I'm having some |
| 1085s | issues with the audio |
| 1095s | but I'm actually one |
| 1098s | like substance configuration |
| 1100s | but okay |
| 1103s | it seems like yeah it could be the |
| 1106s | production |
| 1111s | check it out |
| 1118s | I just will use the the noise reduction |
| 1122s | uh filter that you have |
| 1125s | just let me know if the determination is |
| 1127s | so nice because I mean I know that my |
| 1129s | CPU |
| 1133s | it's all check |
| 1136s | like the parameter |
| 1142s | maybe here is better |
| 1145s | I'm checking the chat so so I love it to |
| 1149s | finally if it is |
| 1151s | like on the right one |
| 1161s | I really didn't do my spot just try to |
| 1164s | be closer moving to a microphone |
| 1168s | budget |
| 1171s | okay so let's talk about a |
| 1175s | this feature |
| 1177s | the second parameter that I was talking |
| 1179s | about was the word part occupancy |
| 1183s | for the vfk system and start that |
| 1188s | depends on the on another Network |
| 1191s | product |
| 1197s | we |
| 1199s | can select here up by the way it is if |
| 1202s | this has a default volume of negative |
| 1204s | one it means that you don't have a limit |
| 1207s | of default slots on your server but you |
| 1210s | can set a different value like I think I |
| 1212s | mentioned I could have before this load |
| 1214s | set to 16 and the result is that once |
| 1218s | you have to replace connected in the |
| 1222s | system will stop for example I can use |
| 1225s | again uh release mobile and I want it |
| 1227s | because I have one on Facebook so that's |
| 1230s | basically how this bishop Works once |
| 1233s | again let us know what you think about |
| 1235s | this feature what if you think it's too |
| 1238s | confusing if you think the name is not |
| 1241s | clear if you think that there is |
| 1243s | something that is missing that you'd |
| 1244s | like to have control over let us know |
| 1248s | now let's talk about the last feature |
| 1251s | that I wanted to mention and it is uh |
| 1255s | something more visual I work a while ago |
| 1259s | on check on changing how the property |
| 1262s | looks when you are going to claim a a |
| 1265s | spot so I don't know if you remember I |
| 1267s | mean people that have been playing for a |
| 1270s | while and remember probably |
| 1272s | but when |
| 1274s | for example you are going to place a |
| 1276s | house the terrain around that you are |
| 1279s | going to claim would look different |
| 1281s | uh now this is how it looks it's |
| 1285s | different uh now it's like what what |
| 1289s | what happened before is that it was |
| 1292s | tinted the sound that we were going to |
| 1295s | claim now what happened is that the |
| 1298s | actual texture that we have there is |
| 1300s | replaced so I'll go to a place that we |
| 1302s | had like a lot of texture like here and |
| 1305s | we see that we have like the green |
| 1308s | texture for the green for the leaves and |
| 1310s | the texture for the Earth but it's |
| 1313s | completely gone once I want to claim |
| 1316s | something then it just takes uh the |
| 1319s | texture is replaced by a hue that is |
| 1322s | based on the selection color |
| 1324s | and it should be way easier to see that |
| 1327s | the place that you want to claim is a |
| 1330s | viable or a viable and also with big |
| 1332s | series it would used to be a problem |
| 1334s | because when you active the property |
| 1337s | claim involved it would be like so much |
| 1339s | information that it'd be hard to see so |
| 1341s | I'm going to go where I have already uh |
| 1344s | a property to display how it looks I |
| 1347s | have one here |
| 1354s | I'm not really good with you in |
| 1357s | positioning |
| 1358s | like in real life and on the games |
| 1364s | in an issue that happens in but but yeah |
| 1367s | it seems like I'm pretty close |
| 1371s | so for example here let me take a moment |
| 1374s | to load before because I am on the |
| 1375s | Google promote I come right extremely |
| 1377s | fast reply |
| 1379s | but basically what what we have here is |
| 1382s | that we will see uh a different queue |
| 1386s | for the properties that are clean |
| 1389s | than it was before and I'll see a red |
| 1393s | color when it's a property that I can |
| 1395s | claim because I mean this is this |
| 1397s | terrain Village and so when belongs to |
| 1399s | someone else so I can really play |
| 1401s | something here but if I can play |
| 1403s | something here I can see it all I'm |
| 1405s | going to play something here and |
| 1409s | I'm going to a gram and |
| 1413s | a tool just to show that it will also be |
| 1416s | affected by the effect you can always go |
| 1418s | to minimap core layers activate the |
| 1421s | properties and overlay in main View |
| 1424s | when you do this then you will see the |
| 1427s | Shader all the time so I can see here |
| 1429s | this is my property and this is the |
| 1432s | property I can see actually my X here is |
| 1434s | blue I am property and now it's green I |
| 1436s | am a different property but yeah the |
| 1438s | idea is that this Shader was was updated |
| 1441s | um trying to make it easier to |
| 1443s | understand but also easier to see |
| 1445s | because even when I am on the inside the |
| 1450s | building or inside like a lot of |
| 1451s | buildings I still can see the terrain |
| 1454s | and here we have like been a little more |
| 1457s | technically here we have two things that |
| 1460s | are happening DQ is being replaced like |
| 1463s | the text will be replaced by the Hue |
| 1465s | that we want to use but also I added uh |
| 1468s | the outlines so the outlines of each |
| 1472s | object are added like a white outline is |
| 1474s | very subtle but for example here we can |
| 1476s | see you in the |
| 1478s | on the flowers that they have like these |
| 1480s | outlines the same here with the lips and |
| 1484s | that's to make easier for you to to walk |
| 1487s | while you have this ID |
| 1489s | that's the the feature the the last |
| 1492s | feature that I wanted to talk about |
| 1495s | um |
| 1495s | and now uh it's time for |
| 1498s | to hear Jordan so Jordan are you ready |
| 1504s | yes uh one second let's do this |
| 1513s | yeah it seems like hearing the screen |
| 1515s | okay |
| 1517s | so |
| 1518s | I mostly do things like the uh the our |
| 1522s | account server and things of that nature |
| 1524s | though they played out Eco however |
| 1527s | another thing that I also participate in |
| 1529s | is |
| 1530s | uh more of the technical like tested |
| 1533s | experiments and this is one of them |
| 1536s | um |
| 1537s | for a while people have noticed that uh |
| 1540s | the trucks on the main menu |
| 1542s | are a completely different color than |
| 1544s | the rest of the game and |
| 1546s | I went through the effort of actually |
| 1548s | seeing if we could bring the idea of |
| 1550s | recoloring trucks or really anything in |
| 1553s | eco |
| 1555s | two actual gameplay mechanics |
| 1557s | and this is the start of that this is |
| 1562s | a an initial idea of being able to check |
| 1565s | paint any color you want |
| 1568s | and um |
| 1571s | there's also a second demo which is a |
| 1574s | little a little more complicated it part |
| 1577s | of the uh the lines here |
| 1580s | because this is not a perfect texture |
| 1582s | but if you can actually independently |
| 1587s | pick what you would want to show on the |
| 1590s | truck now keep in mind obviously this is |
| 1592s | still an idea an experiment you may not |
| 1595s | necessarily see this |
| 1597s | in an upcoming release |
| 1598s | or if you will likely not |
| 1602s | in the near future because other things |
| 1604s | take priority |
| 1605s | however |
| 1607s | if the office is something people are |
| 1609s | interested in I we would be more than |
| 1611s | willing to you know probably look into |
| 1613s | it more than we are at the moment |
| 1616s | I am I'm so not used to being on camera |
| 1621s | uh |
| 1623s | yeah I I I I don't really have too much |
| 1626s | to show with that it's just a little |
| 1628s | Tech demo |
| 1630s | um |
| 1634s | uh |
| 1636s | I don't know if anyone has any questions |
| 1638s | about this this obviously I believe |
| 1640s | we're taking questions at the end but |
| 1643s | yeah it's fine I mean this this actually |
| 1645s | concludes uh the the feature that we |
| 1649s | want to explain I think it's a nice |
| 1651s | feature to to be able to like find the |
| 1653s | color of some more objects so so I think |
| 1655s | that that as you were saying that yeah |
| 1657s | we we have time to to take some |
| 1659s | questions |
| 1660s | um to your comments about what would you |
| 1662s | like to see on the Nexus streams |
| 1670s | I'll be I'll be checking the chats |
| 1685s | I see the colored Vehicles Mark came up |
| 1688s | so the colored Vehicles mod is uh |
| 1691s | well the original one it's it's |
| 1693s | duplicating the trucks it's not all the |
| 1696s | same truck |
| 1697s | so there's one for each color I think |
| 1699s | Kai has one that does it a little |
| 1701s | differently the idea with this is It's |
| 1704s | one truck so it's a lot easier to manage |
| 1706s | and it's also modable that's the other |
| 1708s | thing I forgot to mention other my |
| 1710s | anxiety dropped a little bit |
| 1712s | um |
| 1713s | so in theory by having a an ecosystem of |
| 1717s | these colorable objects is we would |
| 1719s | likely do more than just trucks you |
| 1721s | would be able to |
| 1722s | pick whatever color you wanted as well |
| 1725s | as possibly modded more colors depending |
| 1728s | on how we did the coloring mechanic |
| 1730s | which is still to be determined |
| 1732s | that's a little bit different than how |
| 1734s | the mod does it |
| 1738s | I I see there is another question uh |
| 1741s | Jordan I don't know if you can check the |
| 1742s | chat will will the coloring work also on |
| 1746s | building blocks |
| 1747s | uh this one no that is something that |
| 1751s | has been talked about |
| 1753s | uh a little more challenging because |
| 1756s | obviously we want Eco to run well the |
| 1758s | more things you start throwing in there |
| 1760s | the more problems you may start having |
| 1762s | so a lot of thought has to go into it |
| 1763s | prior to |
| 1765s | adding color |
| 1768s | okay okay I see another question that is |
| 1771s | that when will we see both uh so yeah |
| 1775s | the idea is that we will actually have |
| 1777s | votes on the in on the next version and |
| 1780s | the echo temperature |
| 1782s | that's that's the idea I mean we we |
| 1784s | still had to run the the internal test |
| 1786s | to make sure that the liquid works as |
| 1788s | expected and and I use like a for for |
| 1791s | people that were waiting to see boats to |
| 1793s | understand that there is a lot of |
| 1795s | implications there I mean not only is |
| 1799s | about the the technical issue of |
| 1800s | creating the world the model and |
| 1803s | decoding but also to to set a gameplay |
| 1808s | where boats are actually useful or they |
| 1811s | are worth I mean if you can swim why do |
| 1813s | you want about what why how do you |
| 1816s | change or or how do we update the |
| 1818s | gameplay |
| 1819s | to making to make them uh something |
| 1822s | really useful something that people want |
| 1824s | to use and also something that is not an |
| 1827s | exploited because as you can imagine |
| 1829s | with every plane that that you have |
| 1831s | played sometimes there are exploits that |
| 1833s | when there are some updates or |
| 1835s | modifications and that's that's really |
| 1837s | complicated but the good thing is that a |
| 1840s | one of our next streams will be with |
| 1843s | gens he will be talking about Bots and |
| 1845s | gameplay so yeah if you're interested we |
| 1848s | be make sure to be on on that stream |
| 1852s | I I don't know if you have oh sorry |
| 1854s | Jordan go ahead I |
| 1857s | I might have a question for the |
| 1859s | community because well I have the the |
| 1860s | colored thing up I see uh one of the the |
| 1863s | chats here someone is talking about uh |
| 1865s | three channels only |
| 1866s | there actually is an experimental I |
| 1871s | can't demo it but there's an |
| 1872s | experimental version that takes more |
| 1875s | colors and I want to if that's something |
| 1877s | people would be interested in you know |
| 1879s | obviously let us know because this one |
| 1881s | it's three colors and then whatever the |
| 1884s | artist has decided the rest of the |
| 1886s | object should look like but you can see |
| 1888s | how that looks down here there's a red |
| 1890s | green and blue |
| 1891s | however |
| 1892s | we can technically do more it's so it |
| 1896s | becomes a little less modern friendly |
| 1899s | but more can be done if you would want |
| 1902s | that really deep level of customization |
| 1904s | obviously that is you know a feedback |
| 1907s | thing let us know in like the Discord |
| 1908s | what you would think of that but |
| 1922s | all right forgot to to mute me I'm sorry |
| 1925s | so things are done I I think that that |
| 1928s | having more control would be nice but |
| 1930s | but yeah imagine |
| 1932s | um that would be more complicated you |
| 1934s | know or if some of our players are |
| 1937s | familiar of the 3D modeling process uh |
| 1940s | what is a UV map and and I mean it's not |
| 1944s | that user friendly but it should be cool |
| 1946s | to have some really different uh options |
| 1949s | to do more modifications modifications |
| 1952s | so so yeah let us know in the chat |
| 1956s | um |
| 1956s | we we also will have some streams with |
| 1960s | artists so so maybe if you have some |
| 1962s | more artistically related question on |
| 1965s | comments we may be sure that we're going |
| 1968s | to have part of the artist team here on |
| 1970s | the streams and you'll have the chance |
| 1971s | to to talk with them too |
| 1975s | um and yeah I see another question if |
| 1977s | the stream will be weekly uh yeah the |
| 1980s | idea is that every Friday at this time I |
| 1983s | mean it's 3 P.M here in Colombia but |
| 1985s | yeah it's different time zones of course |
| 1988s | uh we'll have a stream with a different |
| 1991s | guests based on basically the feedback |
| 1994s | that we get from from the Stream So for |
| 1997s | this first stream we have Jordan that |
| 1999s | has a lot of experience in modeling if |
| 2001s | you would like to know more about money |
| 2003s | you can also let alone know and we can |
| 2005s | talk to Children again like to see if |
| 2007s | he's interested in coming again with us |
| 2010s | and if you are more interested in |
| 2012s | gameplay we also have people for that |
| 2014s | artists audio we of course need to |
| 2017s | validate with the team and and the time |
| 2019s | zones Etc but but yeah we are really |
| 2022s | happy with the idea of doing the streams |
| 2025s | every week now |
| 2026s | uh do we have more questions Maybe |
| 2029s | or comments I'll check the chat again |
| 2067s | oh yeah there is a question about |
| 2069s | composing a forming update so so yeah we |
| 2072s | are definitely working on that there is |
| 2075s | a lot of updates that we are planning |
| 2077s | for the forming and we we meet we will |
| 2081s | try to to talk more about that in the |
| 2083s | future but yeah some features are like |
| 2085s | so complex that they have their own |
| 2088s | stream about it so yeah that that would |
| 2090s | be all um |
| 2092s | um finish the stream now thank you |
| 2094s | everyone for coming I'll check the the |
| 2096s | chat and with the team so we can be sure |
| 2099s | to read all the questions uh that you |
| 2102s | may have if you want to contact me |
| 2103s | directly on Discord uh you can find me |
| 2106s | on Discord like jio here is my my ID on |
| 2110s | the screen actually so so yeah feel free |
| 2112s | to contact me that would be all thank |
| 2114s | you everyone |
| 2115s | bye bye |
