|---|---|
| 13s | we got man |
| 14s | right there you go we're good hey |
| 16s | everybody welcome to the episode live |
| 19s | stream they were going to be talking |
| 21s | about 8.0 and all the cool name stuff in |
| 24s | there so I'm jump donkey I'm designer go |
| 31s | video screams whoo here we have Keegan |
| 34s | technical artist extraordinaire and |
| 38s | geology and biology enthusiast Owen and |
| 42s | Walker programmer all these built happen |
| 46s | lately yeah and you'll know me what my |
| 48s | username uh police guys cute yep |
| 51s | I know meat is followed by probably kind |
| 56s | of yeah so you know we're in the chat |
| 62s | for Facebook and which through that ask |
| 67s | questions there and even good dancers |
| 72s | yeah so to start we're going to show our |
| 75s | new biomes that we have in 8.0 you bring |
| 80s | up OBS and just make sure I love you and |
| 82s | everything is working yep |
| 86s | yeah so Keegan I'll just kind of talk us |
| 89s | through this stuff sure yeah so 8.0 is |
| 92s | going to be the start of a big roll out |
| 94s | the whole revamp of pretty much |
| 97s | everything about you goes natural world |
| 99s | and the sort of basics of that is world |
| 103s | generation and how worlds are put |
| 105s | together and then the obvious extension |
| 108s | of that is all the content inside the |
| 110s | world which is you know structured into |
| 112s | a collection of Bayan so we're basically |
| 116s | revamping you know how it all fits |
| 119s | together how it all works and adding a |
| 121s | ton of new content in that process |
| 123s | so right now Walker is the in some |
| 126s | grasslands and one thing you'll notice |
| 128s | right away is that we noticed a much |
| 130s | taller grass one of |
| 132s | goals and grasslands is that we want to |
| 134s | part of it and get the feeling of like a |
| 137s | prairie a lot of our biomes are |
| 139s | influenced or inspired by North American |
| 142s | biomes |
| 143s | so the tall grass prairie is a really |
| 146s | great inspiration for an ecosystem so |
| 150s | we're going for that there's going to be |
| 152s | the switchgrass there will also be a big |
| 154s | boost of species of grass so we're |
| 156s | really looking at each biome |
| 157s | individually and fleshing it out with |
| 159s | new plans and new animals and trees and |
| 163s | what you'll notice as well as new block |
| 166s | types so we're going to be reshuffling |
| 169s | and revamping a lot of the block types |
| 171s | that are in you go as well and one of |
| 173s | the big things that will tie into |
| 175s | eventually is mining so the room just be |
| 178s | generic stone anymore will actually have |
| 179s | different types of rock and different |
| 181s | types of ore will be hosted in their |
| 183s | post rocks and located based on those |
| 186s | rocks and that'll be a thing that |
| 189s | appears you know per biome so you'll |
| 191s | have different biomes different |
| 193s | resources to help encourage exploration |
| 195s | and this pageant 8.0 is the big start of |
| 199s | that process so you got to show you'd |
| 208s | find a lake there Walker but I'm missing |
| 213s | so one thing yeah I can mention this |
| 216s | these rivers you'll notice or a lot |
| 219s | better-looking one of the things we're |
| 220s | improving a world generation is lakes |
| 223s | and rivers the rivers now actually go |
| 225s | right up to the bank they can still form |
| 228s | in a valley but then they'll also have |
| 229s | their thanks a lot better than we were |
| 232s | River Canyon that actually |
| 252s | having the rivers go right up all the |
| 270s | different things that are going to come |
| 272s | in I think that will really improve the |
| 275s | feel of the world makes it feel more |
| 277s | like a natural you know ideally the |
| 280s | whole point of expiration fishing and |
| 290s | one of the big things on the morning |
| 291s | with this update was just have a much |
| 293s | different human place in the environment |
| 296s | so as you're moving from location to |
| 299s | location if I almost feel really |
| 302s | different planet animal define American |
| 304s | food really different like setting up a |
| 306s | town on one side of the world firstly |
| 308s | the other side of the world you're gonna |
| 310s | act upon very different thing you know |
| 313s | the minerals and resources that are only |
| 315s | accessible in certain areas and that |
| 317s | just has all these knock-on effects the |
| 319s | rest of the game too is like right now |
| 322s | in the current release you can get most |
| 324s | ores you know they're kind of spread out |
| 326s | but they're not too hard to get in terms |
| 329s | of location or is this you'll have more |
| 331s | localized places where you can only get |
| 333s | this bit to their plant in this location |
| 335s | you're gonna give this together wood or |
| 337s | this mineral so that just makes |
| 340s | transport that much more important it |
| 341s | like you're gonna want to have a little |
| 343s | village you know over by this particular |
| 345s | spot that lets you transport this other |
| 348s | from the rest of the world so yeah |
| 353s | everything to do with you going |
| 354s | we like connected into the whole system |
| 357s | of it so it's a new big expansion |
| 360s | through our ecology system but it also |
| 362s | affects the economy where you're |
| 364s | deciding where the roads were to |
| 367s | transport how to trade the advantage of |
| 369s | these resources that's one of the things |
| 372s | I like most about the |
| 373s | how much the system like overlap with |
| 375s | each other you changed something like |
| 377s | this and effect something this far away |
| 379s | is like loans from the government or |
| 381s | whatever and all kind of things like |
| 383s | that |
| 385s | let's check out the neighbor like roots |
| 387s | we have for decoration so this is the |
| 389s | the forest biome yeah yeah yeah so |
| 392s | there's an one thing that's kind of |
| 394s | interesting is we're actually splitting |
| 396s | up some biomes into multiple sub items |
| 398s | so forest for instance will have a cold |
| 401s | or expandable warm forest cold forest |
| 404s | will be like conifer forests where you |
| 406s | find for our trees the warm for us will |
| 408s | be more broadly but you know with with |
| 411s | each new biome and sub-bio we're |
| 413s | updating it for the page have their own |
| 415s | topsoil a lot of things that are pretty |
| 488s | exciting the wool that will get it |
| 490s | eventually we start of all that the |
| 493s | voyage paths asks with new plants will |
| 496s | there be new cooking recipes definitely |
| 499s | 8.0 again is going to be sort of an |
| 503s | initial push |
| 504s | lamenting all this stuff in the |
| 505s | ecosystem there's going to be a lot of |
| 507s | added uses as we go but yes absolutely |
| 511s | new plants will have new newer new items |
| 513s | and new recipes go of those items that's |
| 516s | part of the whole point is to have every |
| 519s | every species provide something to the |
| 522s | players |
| 523s | yeah we've chosen the different species |
| 525s | in the ecosystems as things that can be |
| 528s | impactful on players as well so you'll |
| 530s | be able to use the resources so much of |
| 533s | you know all your resources in the game |
| 535s | come from the environment an impact on |
| 538s | it affect everything so things like |
| 540s | recipes research will be a big one |
| 542s | you'll need to like this different |
| 543s | species for research very advanced |
| 546s | technology and crafting as well so |
| 550s | there's much for your element of |
| 551s | exploration I expect for this where you |
| 554s | have to go find some rare species or |
| 557s | plant species that have a hard time |
| 560s | growing we have orchids in the game |
| 563s | somewhere now is that earlier rex idea |
| 568s | ask any optimizations and eCos extremely |
| 570s | CPU heavy and yes we have just enabled |
| 573s | something unity made called il-2 CPP |
| 577s | which lets the game build in native C++ |
| 581s | compiler which just automatically gives |
| 583s | you like a big speed bump so you can |
| 586s | thank unity for that it's going to give |
| 588s | a big boost but on our end we're also |
| 589s | planning to do a lot of optimizations |
| 591s | and just continue to make the game to |
| 594s | run better that's always something we |
| 595s | work on with each milestone someone |
| 603s | asked if it's coming to consoles |
| 605s | eventually though we don't have plans |
| 607s | for that right now but I would love to |
| 609s | get it on console someday so it's |
| 612s | something for the longer game but other |
| 617s | oh I like the grass decorations we have |
| 619s | on here so here you can see the new |
| 621s | edges you know putting a lot more visual |
| 624s | interest and it was silhouettes and |
| 626s | things it just gives a little too much |
| 628s | likelier |
| 629s | look to it I think you'll notice that an |
| 631s | 8.0 |
| 637s | got a big waterfall in there that's |
| 641s | pretty nice do you handle holes in this |
| 644s | film ah there's no animals in this bill |
| 648s | that are new no however there will be |
| 650s | new animals in the in point out the |
| 652s | vaulting go house we were attending them |
| 654s | too and if there aren't them there |
| 656s | certainly will be a large amount of them |
| 658s | shortly afterwards because as we've been |
| 662s | doing the miles we've been adding new |
| 664s | animals as part of that so I can say |
| 667s | that either an 8.0 or 8.1 there will be |
| 670s | bighorn sheep for the desert that will |
| 673s | all be see what else we got there's a |
| 676s | crab for the peaches you have a mountain |
| 679s | goat the tundra and there's a few other |
| 683s | ones definitely as well for there that |
| 685s | are done or others oh there's an |
| 688s | alligator for the wetlands pretty cool |
| 690s | our first big we also are doing that |
| 695s | kind of new behaviors and revamping the |
| 698s | AI system for the animals it will do |
| 699s | more interesting stuff you'll see them |
| 702s | like eating each other eating food and |
| 705s | you know sleeping swimming you'll see |
| 708s | otters like swimming and getting in and |
| 710s | out of the water so it'll just be a lot |
| 713s | more interesting as we build up this 8.0 |
| 716s | branch Kamath does the game have a |
| 719s | possible teaching guide for teachers |
| 721s | that's definitely something we're |
| 723s | planning to add so we're we're gonna be |
| 726s | creating like a dynamic curriculum that |
| 729s | sponsoring this game so if you have your |
| 732s | classroom of people playing this and the |
| 736s | game will automatically detect kind of |
| 737s | the challenges that are facing and then |
| 739s | use that or that you spawned like |
| 741s | discussion the features can move so for |
| 743s | example if they're like he's about to go |
| 745s | extinct you know the game will detect |
| 747s | that see if the players are passing laws |
| 749s | for it and kind of bring that into that |
| 751s | discussion that challenged the detention |
| 754s | of the teacher and actually turn out |
| 756s | like worksheet they can like or the |
| 758s | relationship between these species |
| 759s | wisest clinic things what can humans do |
| 762s | tie into the real world Hyneman lessons |
| 764s | so for our education side that's one of |
| 767s | our big strategies is |
| 769s | using hiko's a way to make your lessons |
| 771s | relevant like if you're learning about |
| 773s | ecology you're actually applying it in |
| 775s | this game you know as you're learning |
| 777s | about civics you're creating laws in |
| 779s | this game so it's really this chance |
| 782s | like apply what you're doing in this |
| 783s | world that has some consequence so |
| 786s | that's something we're going to be |
| 787s | focusing on a lot next year so really |
| 789s | excited about that and yeah some more to |
| 792s | come on that field |
| 796s | we've got pineapple Esau |
| 798s | yepper yeah pineapples are in progress |
| 803s | the whole rainforest is very much in |
| 806s | progress you can see those little pink |
| 808s | things that are just bigger errors yeah |
| 812s | this is an invariant progress build |
| 814s | ripped right through development there's |
| 817s | a lot of this on the way they'll light |
| 821s | catches those leaves really cool them |
| 825s | big leaves you see there the taro plant |
| 828s | also known as elephant here rex asks |
| 838s | about the skill system though that is |
| 841s | something that is coming through a doe |
| 843s | also we're having a new approach the |
| 846s | skill system will probably stream that |
| 848s | in the next couple week that might think |
| 850s | one of the next streams we have but |
| 852s | Craig is Craig's baby and the idea with |
| 856s | that is that you are choosing |
| 859s | specialties and then you level them up |
| 861s | by doing stuff related to that specialty |
| 864s | so it's kind of a blend between the |
| 867s | current skill point system and the |
| 871s | reasoning behind that is a number of |
| 872s | things first of all it lets you keep |
| 875s | your decisions about what skills you |
| 877s | want to a higher level of your choosing |
| 879s | from a set of special there's still a |
| 880s | ton of choices that you make there but |
| 884s | instead of choosing the low level like |
| 886s | within a specialty what are you |
| 888s | advancing you does advance it by doing |
| 889s | the thing and that gets rid of this no |
| 893s | problem where it was always advantageous |
| 895s | to wait until you level |
| 897s | your efficiency before you started doing |
| 899s | anything so you were kind of |
| 901s | incentivized to just wait and do nothing |
| 903s | but now the only way to level up your |
| 905s | efficiency is to do it so we lose that |
| 907s | kind of contradictory incentive that we |
| 911s | had and then along with that as you're |
| 914s | leveling up you have you gained talents |
| 917s | so each time you hit a certain level you |
| 919s | get to choose between two different |
| 920s | talents and those will make different |
| 922s | things easier so even within an |
| 924s | individual specialty you can have these |
| 925s | kind of sub specialties that you you |
| 928s | choose as you're going along and so how |
| 931s | this relates to the existing skill |
| 933s | systems it it creates its multiplier so |
| 937s | even as you're like leveling up there |
| 940s | your your skill points are affecting |
| 944s | that so it still matters a lot the food |
| 946s | you eat is still matters a lot the house |
| 947s | you have I'll check out this outcropping |
| 950s | that granite yeah that's granite so you |
| 954s | know this is there's going to be at the |
| 956s | very least granite and limestone in 8.0 |
| 958s | and I'll probably not placeholders in |
| 961s | for the other rock bands of granite the |
| 964s | other rocks that are going to be coming |
| 966s | off in our sandstone meet are the |
| 970s | primary one oh can you mine it Walker |
| 972s | not in this build I just this is really |
| 980s | leading edge build right here we just |
| 982s | build it like 20 minutes ago so yeah |
| 986s | lots of stuff to add to it yeah 8.0 date |
| 990s | we haven't locked it down publicly yet |
| 993s | but expected to this year so we'll |
| 997s | probably have an announcement for that |
| 998s | soon types there yeah I see that John |
| 1002s | McFarlane is asking me getting pipes or |
| 1003s | anything like that and the answer is yes |
| 1005s | we have redone or improved pipes a lot |
| 1010s | Keegan's remade all the textures that |
| 1012s | are really metal and cool looking like |
| 1014s | malankov design and yeah so that will |
| 1019s | probably show that in a future stream I |
| 1021s | think we want to start doing weekly |
| 1022s | streams as we pull up to 8.0 that we |
| 1024s | just have so much stuff to show and I |
| 1026s | love to give you |
| 1027s | to check it out and you know see it kind |
| 1030s | of as we go and give us feedback so |
| 1033s | pipes are gonna be part of a new |
| 1036s | plumbing system you'll have to think |
| 1038s | about four houses so a number of your |
| 1040s | housing items are going to require you |
| 1042s | to add plumbing and connection to a |
| 1046s | water source in order to make them run |
| 1049s | so now you have this project we're like |
| 1051s | a village will needs to create a |
| 1053s | plumbing network in order to support it |
| 1055s | and that generates a lot of waste water |
| 1057s | as well so if you just let that waste |
| 1058s | water like flow out your back door it's |
| 1061s | gonna pollute your environment so if you |
| 1063s | want to take care of that you'll need to |
| 1065s | have this group project where you build |
| 1067s | that filtration system and you actually |
| 1069s | pump the water off to a Walter condense |
| 1073s | it into sludge and then dispose of the |
| 1075s | sludge somehow oh here's a little |
| 1077s | preview now you can see the new metal |
| 1080s | picture we got on the air and we're |
| 1081s | making a bunch of new objects that will |
| 1082s | connect with them this is the highest |
| 1085s | field field or the latest point you get |
| 1089s | to build kind of iron isn't yeah so the |
| 1098s | pipes are gonna be the pipes |
| 1100s | gameplay-wise they're they're really |
| 1103s | interesting my group project you have to |
| 1106s | have is for an individual to plumb their |
| 1108s | home its ton of work but if you do to |
| 1112s | the village it's way less work because |
| 1114s | you're all sharing that same piping so |
| 1117s | that's one of the ways to make decisions |
| 1119s | of what's implementing eco is what is |
| 1121s | going to connect the rest of the |
| 1122s | simulation what is going to require |
| 1125s | these really interesting like group |
| 1128s | projects that you have to like create |
| 1131s | laws or you have to tax people for you |
| 1134s | have to decide at the group how it goes |
| 1136s | because that's such a thing part of the |
| 1138s | game is building those regulations |
| 1140s | building fly rating with the group I |
| 1143s | think pipes will be a really great kind |
| 1145s | of concrete thing that you build it eyes |
| 1147s | and all that |
| 1159s | you need mid content plant for dirt |
| 1162s | moving shovel excavator or water |
| 1163s | improvements there are hearts that from |
| 1165s | tomorrow be communicated I know so for |
| 1170s | water improvements yeah pipes are coming |
| 1172s | kind of a water improvement how it they |
| 1175s | can create water and holy water and |
| 1176s | things like that |
| 1178s | they're moving we have a number of like |
| 1180s | inventory upgrades for how you dirt the |
| 1183s | clean air inventories or moving any item |
| 1185s | between your inventories no specific |
| 1187s | vehicles for this patch though and the |
| 1189s | transition between biomes I think that's |
| 1192s | something that you've been building |
| 1193s | right like head is kind of like great |
| 1195s | and gradient transitions well yeah I |
| 1197s | mean I think what he's asking about is |
| 1199s | is like terraforming it's like |
| 1201s | exchanging files from one to another |
| 1203s | using your own water and there's |
| 1205s | excavations and stuff like that and |
| 1207s | that's something we're thinking a lot |
| 1209s | about I think I think really our goal is |
| 1212s | that we want to be able to allow players |
| 1214s | to like change the environment enough |
| 1216s | that they can plant and grow plants |
| 1219s | where they want to based on how they're |
| 1222s | changing environment but I think part of |
| 1224s | the idea is that we don't really want |
| 1225s | people to be able to like generate old |
| 1228s | clock you like file just based on their |
| 1231s | environmental condition I think that |
| 1233s | would be disingenuous you like the whole |
| 1235s | you know struggle to preserve the file |
| 1238s | humans can really just like create an |
| 1240s | old-growth forest they can plant trees |
| 1242s | and they can when they can help one |
| 1244s | species out so I think the idea will be |
| 1246s | that we want to give players the ability |
| 1248s | expiry create the right environment for |
| 1251s | specific plants and maybe even specific |
| 1253s | like relationships like an animal in |
| 1256s | plants but you probably don't want to |
| 1258s | make it so that you can just like create |
| 1261s | something that's the exact same as a |
| 1263s | conifer forest just by like making a war |
| 1268s | forest cold or somehow we'd probably be |
| 1270s | the other way around and get an easier |
| 1271s | way to do it but you get the idea |
| 1273s | one thing though that you actually like |
| 1275s | cause climate change then you're I think |
| 1278s | the biomes start to change oh yeah yeah |
| 1280s | so on a wide scale like that you'll see |
| 1282s | like this used to be a cold porous and |
| 1283s | now it's like turn into a desert or |
| 1285s | something right yeah yeah the idea is |
| 1287s | that you |
| 1289s | pollution and warming can affect things |
| 1292s | and sort of in one direction very easily |
| 1295s | and you can have a lot of influence over |
