| 545s | hello everyone welcome |
| 549s | Friday stream here at strange Loop games |
| 553s | I |
| 554s | um |
| 555s | acting as lead game designer for |
| 558s | this company here and most of you have |
| 560s | probably seen me before |
| 563s | Jan says for the portrait |
| 566s | tag |
| 569s | and they will be going over some of our |
| 574s | fighting changes that we've done to 10 |
| 578s | um as well as kind of a QA over some bug |
| 582s | reporting some |
| 585s | when kind of the process of when we take |
| 587s | feedback |
| 589s | um what happens to that feedback where |
| 591s | are those bug reports going and |
| 594s | how those are assigned and |
| 597s | dealt with as well as can I show you |
| 599s | some some kind of gradual shorts over |
| 601s | how it's currently looking in terms of |
| 603s | where the bugs are kind of coming from |
| 605s | and where and what systems they're |
| 607s | mainly impacting |
| 609s | um but also probably some some general |
| 611s | chatter about some balance changes |
| 613s | that's been happening as well as the um |
| 616s | feedback in that area and kind of how |
| 619s | we're acting on it and what we're doing |
| 620s | and some of the small tweaks and changes |
| 622s | that we're doing during the play test |
| 624s | here |
| 626s | and also kind of thank everyone for |
| 629s | participating in it and and really |
| 631s | giving it giving it their best to gonna |
| 633s | break things and |
| 635s | making it as smooth up a release once we |
| 640s | get to that stage as well |
| 646s | so |
| 648s | I think we'll just switch over to some |
| 651s | and flight footage over tiger right now |
| 653s | and |
| 657s | what my Graphics is after switching |
| 659s | around but we uh |
| 661s | working on some of those |
| 663s | distance settings for uh Renditions and |
| 668s | cranked up the view distance it's still |
| 670s | kind of loading and processing in the |
| 672s | detailed terrain so I'm hoping that |
| 676s | is going to be somewhat proactive today |
| 679s | and I'll try to answer as much as I can |
| 684s | during our stream here |
| 686s | so we've we've released our white tiger |
| 690s | play test |
| 692s | as a lot of people have seen there's |
| 694s | been a lot of people participating in it |
| 696s | and things are just |
| 698s | going nuts on it it's looking really |
| 700s | impressive so far and |
| 703s | we've got a lot of valuable data |
| 706s | as well as a lot of really high critical |
| 709s | bugs getting out of the way and also |
| 712s | some are still remaining and |
| 715s | there's a lot of bugs still to be found |
| 717s | as well in specifically in terms of |
| 719s | interactibility and settlements |
| 723s | as the settlement system is quite |
| 725s | complex and has grown |
| 727s | quite a large volume since |
| 730s | um |
| 732s | this update |
| 733s | with all these new layers and new |
| 735s | systems kind of working in together with |
| 737s | themselves we've also seen a lot of |
| 738s | areas where |
| 740s | we've had a good idea over how we want |
| 742s | to represent data to the players in |
| 745s | certain uis like settlement layers and |
| 748s | kind of interactability and getting that |
| 750s | the information flow from the different |
| 752s | tooltips |
| 753s | and as we see players use it in in terms |
| 758s | of |
| 759s | actual live scenarios we're seeing that |
| 762s | this is not being used in some areas the |
| 765s | way we would like it to be and |
| 767s | a lot of those points are things that |
| 769s | were |
| 770s | also looking at and kind of |
| 774s | acting on and making sure that we're |
| 776s | improving these information flows and |
| 778s | information sources to be actually |
| 780s | usable |
| 781s | um do the player in different types of |
| 783s | snow |
| 784s | be it |
| 786s | you know Finding different stores or |
| 788s | finding details about the settlement |
| 791s | that you want to live in or |
| 793s | whichever kind of mixing |
| 796s | variations of these areas that |
| 799s | you're looking for information but can't |
| 800s | really find it |
| 803s | um |
| 804s | hit us up if there's something that you |
| 807s | feel that hey this is something I really |
| 809s | really needed to know before I joined |
| 812s | the settlement why was this not a thing |
| 815s | don't hesitate to to |
| 819s | either ping me or DM me on Discord or |
| 823s | um just drop our feedback in one of the |
| 826s | Discord channels for the play test try |
| 828s | to be concept feedback or just in |
| 831s | general |
| 832s | um |
| 833s | we'd love to know about it |
| 838s | um yeah so |
| 840s | what have we been doing other than |
| 842s | seeing things explode well |
| 845s | we're trying to fix it as much as |
| 848s | possible preferably all of it but |
| 851s | it is a work in progress |
| 854s | and |
| 856s | it is getting there so anything that you |
| 860s | feel are exploding |
| 861s | as always with the bugs that are |
| 863s | cropping up in the play tests |
| 866s | um |
| 867s | please and and this is something that |
| 871s | kind of hard to |
| 873s | give a note to players without sounding |
| 876s | too kinda |
| 878s | trying to search for a good English word |
| 880s | for it but um |
| 883s | like the stuff that seems to be apparent |
| 887s | in terms of breakage |
| 890s | but might have slipped under the radar |
| 892s | because everyone kind of assumes that |
| 894s | this has already been reported |
| 898s | um |
| 899s | getting those |
| 900s | small quirks in there just as a note |
| 903s | somewhere is also amazing because |
| 907s | sometimes the most obvious thing is |
| 909s | something that everyone just kind of |
| 912s | looks over and just glances past |
| 916s | um everyone just assumes someone else |
| 917s | has reported it so it never gets |
| 919s | reported |
| 921s | this has been a few cases where we've |
| 923s | had unique cases of crashes |
| 926s | um |
| 927s | so yeah just hit those up and |
| 933s | we'll try to get as many many of these |
| 935s | bugs out of the way as possible and I |
| 936s | see we've got the new |
| 938s | the new texture block for the Stone Road |
| 942s | I believe it is |
| 944s | um |
| 944s | merged in yeah |
| 948s | that one has |
| 950s | a couple of people probably noticed that |
| 951s | it was using the temporary asphalt |
| 954s | concrete as a placeholder texture why |
| 957s | our art was fixing up some nice new |
| 959s | textures for the stockpiled materials of |
| 961s | it |
| 964s | and yeah and |
| 966s | with the changes that I've done to |
| 970s | the plant scarcity |
| 973s | on the the world the generation |
| 974s | population stuff with together with |
| 978s | Gregory |
| 979s | the tiger guys have really stepped up |
| 982s | the game and |
| 983s | planted like crazy and really using the |
| 986s | biomes to the fullest extent to |
| 989s | repopulate and |
| 992s | bump the the produce scale to be able to |
| 996s | fill the needs of the population in |
| 997s | terms of both food and |
| 999s | General resources for crafting this is |
| 1001s | looking pretty |
| 1003s | sweet |
| 1005s | this is some pumpkin feels some cotton |
| 1008s | we saw some really big Cotton Fields |
| 1010s | over here we got some beans going we've |
| 1012s | got some rice |
| 1016s | really looking good |
| 1023s | so |
| 1026s | you won't all |
| 1028s | give it the Whirl here just kind of |
| 1032s | look over this for for a little bit as |
| 1034s | I'm gonna I I haven't really roamed |
| 1036s | around tiger at all |
| 1038s | um other than just checking out the |
| 1040s | different uis and kind of being what |
| 1041s | things are being interacted with and |
| 1043s | what the prices are at and kind of Aging |
| 1045s | around some of the balance factors I |
| 1047s | haven't actually roamed the world in |
| 1049s | that sense |
| 1052s | uh |
| 1055s | so I'm I'm gonna |
| 1058s | being impressed as everyone else is |
| 1061s | gonna look at this the first way |
| 1063s | um we've all got some improvements too |
| 1065s | deal with in terms of Chunk loading |
| 1068s | um but yeah |
| 1070s | um |
| 1071s | add something on my tongue but I cannot |
| 1073s | slipped |
| 1077s | hello watermelon |
| 1080s | um |
| 1081s | any servers up that I recently wiped I |
| 1083s | would recommend you to |
| 1085s | get connected on our Discord and check |
| 1088s | the server ads |
| 1093s | panel where |
| 1095s | any server admins can kind of post an ad |
| 1098s | for their servers when they are wiped |
| 1100s | and what their concepts are and |
| 1101s | everything kind of detailing around that |
| 1105s | and as steel says you can sort by server |
| 1107s | H in the server browser as well to kind |
| 1109s | of fit something that |
| 1110s | is in your |
| 1113s | Comfort Zone in terms of what you're |
| 1114s | looking for |
| 1117s | so |
| 1119s | on |
| 1120s | a lot of people have seen why tiger can |
| 1123s | have been mentioned and cropping up in |
| 1125s | different discussions and then often |
| 1127s | being compared to a lot of other servers |
| 1128s | in one way or another |
| 1131s | what is white tiger well |
| 1135s | it is originally a |
| 1140s | a normal server that cropped up by |
| 1142s | Dennis when as a non-affiliated server |
| 1146s | and he built up |
| 1148s | a very intricate |
| 1151s | oncept around it where you have a |
| 1155s | predetermined |
| 1156s | government with its assortment of roles |
| 1160s | and adjacent responsibilities in terms |
| 1163s | of garbage management |
| 1166s | lost surroundings things like minimum |
| 1168s | wage or a universal |
| 1172s | a universal basic impact |
| 1175s | a Ubi basic income law basically giving |
| 1180s | you |
| 1182s | a certain amount of money depending on |
| 1184s | your situation in terms of wealth and so |
| 1187s | on so forth and it has a lot of |
| 1188s | intricate |
| 1190s | tax relations and different layerings |
| 1195s | and with 10 this kind of scaled up to a |
| 1199s | new level where you have a global |
| 1203s | Federation which is something that in a |
| 1206s | great album normal vanilla |
| 1208s | as we reference |
| 1210s | like default gameplay as |
| 1213s | this would be something that is the kind |
| 1216s | of end game reaching of government level |
| 1219s | where you have tones as the starting |
| 1221s | part |
| 1223s | over some of the UI here while we're |
| 1225s | doing this so you start off with hounds |
| 1229s | being formed here we can see some |
| 1231s | radiant |
| 1234s | there we go |
| 1236s | some influence levels here where they've |
| 1238s | grown they're influence based because of |
| 1240s | their additional cultural property and |
| 1242s | that's kind of where you start off with |
| 1244s | you've got these government mini |
| 1246s | governments that form and kind of cover |
| 1248s | these areas |
| 1249s | which then grows into on what type on |
| 1253s | What white tiger refer to as States |
| 1257s | and |
| 1258s | these are then |
| 1260s | comprised of the different towns and |
| 1262s | they expand appropriately depending on |
| 1264s | well and cultural limitations and the |
| 1268s | borders is something that we're |
| 1270s | looking into there are some |
| 1271s | miscalculations going on here as you can |
| 1273s | tell that this state here is kind of |
| 1277s | small compared to Unica which is |
| 1280s | bloated in terms of its volume |
| 1283s | and we're looking into some of those |
| 1286s | calculations and values to see where |
| 1289s | where we want these levels to be at and |
| 1290s | kind of how that translates into |
| 1294s | from a cultural object being placed on a |
| 1296s | property to how is it affecting you and |
| 1298s | why is it affecting it the way it's |
| 1300s | doing it |
| 1302s | so that's some of the things that we're |
| 1304s | currently looking at specifically for |
| 1306s | culture changes |
| 1308s | and then as you can see the global |
| 1310s | Federation is covering the entire map |
| 1313s | and this is something that |
| 1314s | white tiger is |
| 1317s | has a uniquely |
| 1319s | done by setting changes |
| 1322s | to make sure that we have a federation |
| 1325s | that can globally apply laws from the |
| 1327s | get-go rather than |
| 1330s | with 10 allowing players to kind of have |
| 1333s | that wild west territory as long as it |
| 1336s | doesn't have a governmental influence |
| 1338s | covering that area |
| 1341s | and |
| 1343s | that has been its own journey to kind of |
| 1346s | deal with our own |
| 1348s | advancements in Civic systems to be able |
| 1352s | to wrap in and have these unique |
| 1356s | Concepts or servers they'll be quite |
| 1359s | viable |
| 1362s | and because of the insane level of |
| 1366s | intricacy in between how these systems |
| 1369s | operate and cannot talk to each other |
| 1370s | white tiger has also been one of our |
| 1373s | primary |
| 1375s | source of play test |
| 1378s | like properly play testing and making |
| 1380s | sure that the Civic system works |
| 1381s | properly |
| 1383s | as a lot of servers generally don't use |
| 1386s | the full scope of the Civic system |
| 1391s | and that is something that you know each |
| 1394s | server is is entirely capable of doing |
| 1396s | something this intricate |
| 1398s | but it's also reliant on that you have a |
| 1401s | core |
| 1403s | and a foundation of a lot of GMS that |
| 1405s | are |
| 1406s | micromanaging and kind of dealing with |
| 1408s | any weird objects that are dropping up |
| 1411s | that could be potentially causing |
| 1413s | explosions in terms of be it a law that |
| 1415s | was miscalculated or misaligned and they |
| 1418s | have to do kind of band edits of these |
| 1421s | or that they're working the way that |
| 1423s | they're intended to work |
| 1425s | and that's something that we have thanks |
| 1427s | thankfully we have an amazing |
| 1430s | amazingly dedicated and |
| 1433s | super helpful and friendly volunteer |
| 1436s | staff to |
| 1438s | be able to pull this off because without |
| 1441s | them I don't think we'd see white tiger |
| 1443s | in the scope that we are today |
| 1446s | um |
| 1448s | so they they definitely deserve a lot of |
| 1451s | praise and a lot of appreciation for |
| 1453s | what they're doing |
| 1457s | [Music] |
| 1458s | um |
| 1459s | what were the bugs well we're squashing |
| 1462s | them as they're coming out |
| 1463s | like it's a good General summary |
| 1467s | I have on that |
| 1469s | um it's difficult to give a gauge on |
| 1473s | when and where I see Europe gaming TV |
| 1476s | but what's the expecting the expecting |
| 1479s | release date for the update when it is |
| 1482s | as stable as we'd like it to be |
| 1485s | I think it's a good summary of it |
| 1488s | um |
| 1489s | it's hard to give a gauge we've got a |
| 1491s | lot of bugs that are coming out of tiger |
| 1493s | both as |
| 1495s | actual game impact implications or just |
| 1499s | things that are not behaving the way the |
| 1501s | player is expecting things to be |
| 1503s | behaving |
| 1504s | so some Behavior modifying interactions |
| 1507s | or information flows that we kind of |
| 1509s | want to tweak and make sure that |
| 1512s | this is |
| 1516s | working in a good manner |
| 1521s | um |
| 1523s | what else do we have here uh |
| 1529s | who do |
| 1532s | has the issue been fixed or spawning as |
| 1537s | other people |
| 1539s | oh |
| 1541s | I believe it's mostly fixed |
| 1544s | but Dennis is probably around here |
| 1546s | somewhere that has more track on |
| 1549s | the explicit details of that one |
| 1556s | hopefully he's around Dennis are you |
| 1558s | around here |
| 1561s | Maybe |
| 1564s | he'll he'll probably answer in chat here |
| 1566s | if we're |
| 1568s | or uh |
| 1571s | asking him nicely |
| 1574s | um |
| 1576s | yeah yeah I got confirmation that it |
| 1579s | should be fixed now so if anyone |
| 1582s | manages to experience that |
| 1587s | somewhere |
| 1588s | then let us know because |
| 1591s | we believe we fixed all sources for it |
| 1596s | yeah |
| 1597s | I think that that's |
| 1598s | probably covers that one will update can |
| 1601s | be the last major update |
| 1603s | we still have a lot of things that we |
| 1605s | want to be adding for it that is |
| 1607s | probably going to be coming as major |
| 1608s | updates |
| 1610s | um like things like animal husbandry and |
| 1614s | large scale changing like that and |
| 1617s | that's probably where |
| 1619s | to kind of clarify where we're looking |
| 1621s | at in terms of how we version things |
| 1624s | we've got you know hot fixes |
| 1627s | minor minor releases and then major |
| 1630s | releases and major releases is generally |
| 1632s | something that we use when we expect |
| 1635s | people to need to restart worlds in |
| 1639s | general to be completely |
| 1643s | um |
| 1645s | kind of |
| 1646s | um to be to be completely inherenting |
| 1649s | all the properties that we've changed so |
| 1651s | things like World Generation changes or |
| 1655s | biome changes where we've changed out |
| 1657s | different types of wars or layerings of |
| 1661s | materials |
| 1662s | and that's kind of our main use of |
| 1666s | major versions where we're introducing |
| 1668s | really big feature changes that |
| 1671s | um might be necessary for a complete new |
| 1673s | worlds to be able to fully experience |
| 1675s | these changes |
| 1681s | I can |
| 1684s | out |
| 1693s | watching out some |
| 1697s | here |
| 1699s | that one |
| 1700s | that one there we go |
| 1704s | um |
| 1707s | uh so one of the big balance changes |
| 1710s | that I wanted to kind of just roam over |
| 1712s | a little bit |
| 1714s | still a few things that I want to do |
| 1716s | keep track on when it comes to power |
| 1720s | um |
| 1721s | I've done some changes to the early mid |
| 1724s | and kind of late game power usage that |
| 1728s | have hooked a lot of players |
| 1731s | and I've seen some some panicking |
| 1733s | Reflections on that oh my God this this |
| 1735s | is using so much more power now |
| 1738s | um just gonna patch over those quickly |
| 1742s | so this is kind of the chart of what the |
| 1745s | new Power Systems are looking like |
| 1747s | at the moment I've done some minor |
| 1749s | tweaks to the solar and the wind I think |
| 1752s | I increased a little bit |
| 1754s | um |
| 1756s | so the basic |
| 1758s | mechanical generation would be your |
| 1760s | usual water wheel and Windmill and these |
| 1764s | are |
| 1765s | reflectively they are kind of the same |
| 1769s | compared to before it's just that the |
| 1771s | values have changed so when it comes to |
| 1774s | early game where you're looking at the |
| 1775s | arastra and |
| 1777s | um |
| 1779s | the the water pumps and then kind of |
| 1781s | that |
| 1782s | you are looking at a |
| 1784s | somewhat similar value-wise |
| 1789s | I got a little bit bright because of the |
| 1791s | white background here but |
| 1792s | bear with me |
| 1794s | um |
| 1795s | so |
| 1796s | these are kind of static as is the |
| 1799s | really big change |
| 1802s | that you've got is the mid tier or the |
| 1805s | mechanical introduction where you have |
| 1808s | the mechanical uh the mechanical |
| 1810s | engineering and the basic engineering |
| 1811s | kind of dealing in a higher grade of |
| 1814s | power generation and power requirements |
| 1817s | and |
| 1819s | he |
| 1820s | damp Mills and the screening machines |
| 1823s | and kind of everything that goes around |
| 1825s | there I've always had the issue of that |
| 1827s | they're no they're not generating any |
| 1830s | pollution as someone caught on and I |
| 1832s | mentioned this in one of the streams |
| 1833s | before |
| 1835s | um mining in general never generated |
| 1837s | pollution in itself it the filtration |
| 1841s | for the concentrates generated |
| 1844s | and are still generating tailing blocks |
| 1846s | and these do cause pollution but they're |
| 1849s | not causing aerial pollution |
| 1852s | so one of the things that I wanted to |
| 1855s | get into 10 |
| 1857s | walls are changing power dynamics |
| 1861s | you can reflect this and have anything |
| 1863s | that you cannot do during the mid-tier |
| 1866s | area is starting to generate pollution |
| 1868s | from the get-go |
| 1870s | that way you don't have this entire |
| 1872s | section of no pollution from the start |
| 1876s | up until basically oil and then heavy |
| 1880s | industry production |
| 1882s | and then you get slammed depending on |
| 1885s | your world size and your population you |
| 1888s | can get really |
| 1889s | weekly |
| 1892s | overwhelmed by the massive pollution |
| 1894s | versus from you know people placing down |
| 1898s | cement kills and blast furnaces all over |
| 1900s | the place because suddenly they have all |
| 1902s | of these resources and then it goes |
| 1905s | really quickly to get them an excavator |
| 1907s | a skid steer up and suddenly you have |
| 1909s | all of this influx of material |
| 1913s | and |
| 1914s | on the mining sourcing kind of question |
| 1917s | for if we're expecting to also bring in |
| 1920s | Middle tier stuff like mining machines |
| 1922s | instead of going from hand mining to |
| 1924s | Skid Steer mining |
| 1926s | yeah we've got some plans but not for 10 |
| 1928s | in that area |
| 1932s | um |
| 1934s | but yeah so I'm hoping to see some of |
| 1936s | that |
| 1937s | some of those changes afflict |
| 1940s | um |
| 1941s | mitigating this a little bit so people |
| 1942s | get more accustomed to experienced |
| 1945s | pollution from an earlier stage |
| 1948s | um and I'm really looking forward to |
| 1950s | seeing how that pans out both in the |
| 1952s | play test here that they're starting to |
| 1954s | go through some of that |
| 1957s | um but also once this goes into release |
| 1958s | as well they're gonna follow up and see |
| 1960s | where |
| 1962s | all people are experiencing it and how |
| 1964s | much it's impacting because that is |
| 1965s | something that I would like to get a lot |
| 1967s | of feedback from |
| 1969s | um when it comes to General server usage |
| 1972s | from any any type of mixture in |
| 1974s | population because it is really |
| 1976s | difficult to kind of scale this |
| 1977s | appropriately from a balanced |
| 1979s | perspective |
| 1980s | um in terms of like if you're running a |
| 1982s | world on |
| 1983s | you know half a kilometer and you're |
| 1985s | playing with 10 people it's gonna be a |
| 1988s | vastly different experience from someone |
| 1990s | playing on a |
| 1991s | kilometer world with 200 players |
| 1995s | even though you got twice the world size |
| 1998s | you've got you know five times the |
| 2001s | population which means that you're going |
| 2002s | to be a lot more impacted by |
| 2006s | the larger scale of resource acquisition |
| 2009s | and processing |
| 2012s | and I think that's |
| 2014s | probably what I had kind of balance for |
| 2016s | the power stuff so |
| 2018s | the basic mechanical engineering is |
| 2020s | gonna be your wind and water and then |
| 2022s | you're moving over to Advanced |
| 2023s | mechanical engineering which is the |
| 2025s | steam engine that has been revolving |
| 2029s | and that is your introduction to a fuel |
| 2033s | source burn |
| 2035s | mechanical Power which I don't think |
| 2037s | that's |
| 2038s | fairly new |
| 2040s | app device used to produce electrical |
| 2042s | energy so I'm hoping not too many people |
| 2043s | are going to be super confused by that |
| 2046s | change |
| 2046s | we've got the electrical generator |
| 2050s | or the combustion generator which is |
| 2052s | what it's called in game |
| 2054s | which is your early introduction to |
| 2056s | electricity and then you've got a really |
| 2058s | big Behemoth of an industrial generator |
| 2062s | um |
| 2063s | I'm looking forward to people seeing |
| 2065s | that so |
| 2067s | um |
| 2068s | back on the bugs topic so some of the |
| 2072s | some of the statistics that we're |
| 2074s | looking for when it comes to these bugs |
| 2077s | being reported they're being kind of |
| 2079s | categorized they're being assigned |
| 2082s | and this is all |
| 2085s | um reflected through |
| 2088s | our production can kind of gauge and see |
| 2090s | how these are progressing and how these |
| 2092s | are going based on |
| 2094s | the work people are putting in and |
| 2096s | getting these things kind of hammered |
| 2097s | out so these are some examples of bugs |
| 2100s | that are assigned to |
| 2103s | um the squads that is containing these |
| 2106s | these amazing Developers |
| 2109s | and just to kind of give an overview a |
| 2112s | little bit over |
| 2113s | some of these bugs that have been posted |
| 2115s | in the last couple of days |
| 2117s | and for a portion of the depths |
| 2120s | and these are kind of metrics that we |
| 2123s | look into and kind of show off and be |
| 2126s | able to track and |
| 2130s | just in general and and kind of what |
| 2132s | what areas are being problematic |
| 2134s | and as you can see here |
| 2137s | um we've got a pretty pretty low impact |
| 2140s | area in some of these locations where |
| 2143s | we have a higher impact in |
| 2146s | the settlement and the interaction |
| 2148s | manager that has been completely |
| 2149s | reworked and kind of |
| 2152s | ripped out and improved |
| 2154s | and |
| 2157s | Civics is a more generic type issue |
| 2160s | rather than just specifically to the |
| 2162s | settlements and this can be specific to |
| 2165s | like certain law configurations and so |
| 2167s | on so forth |
| 2169s | and |
| 2172s | and then of course the tools as well as |
| 2175s | an after effect of the interactions so |
| 2179s | things are being worked on and things |
| 2181s | are being assigned and |
| 2184s | like I said any any bug reports is |
| 2187s | amazing because it helps us track more |
| 2189s | things and it helps us get rid of them |
| 2191s | and squash them and |
| 2192s | hopefully leading up to a better release |
| 2194s | for everyone |
| 2201s | and |
| 2202s | give you a quick |
| 2205s | think through here so |
| 2209s | this list here |
| 2211s | um |
| 2213s | is kind of stuff that is pouring in from |
| 2215s | the play test so |
| 2218s | this is things that and this is kind of |
| 2222s | going off a little bit on on how it's |
| 2224s | looking for our management side in terms |
| 2226s | of how things are being assigned when |
| 2228s | they're being assigned and kind of where |
| 2230s | who's working on it and which Squad and |
| 2232s | another intricacies of |
| 2235s | some of the back side of this |
| 2237s | um |
| 2238s | [Music] |
| 2239s | mostly management stuff which is not |
| 2242s | super exciting for a lot of people but |
| 2246s | might be interested into some people |
| 2247s | that are |
| 2250s | just interested in seeing how these |
| 2253s | things are working from an Indus on the |
| 2255s | gaming industry side of things |
| 2259s | um |
| 2261s | and see that you know we are taking this |
| 2262s | feedback seriously we are working on it |
| 2264s | and and people are really hammering at |
| 2267s | it especially the hammer bugs unintended |
| 2272s | um |
| 2275s | and |
| 2276s | been putting in a lot of energy to |
| 2279s | get stuff up and sold |
| 2283s | um |
| 2286s | instead of saying a release date would |
| 2288s | you be willing to say what percentage |
| 2290s | you are from the beginning of a white |
| 2292s | tiger play test to where it's stable |
| 2293s | enough for for release I think |
| 2297s | um it's difficult to give |
| 2300s | a metric gauge of that because there are |
| 2304s | a lot of layers and a lot of |
| 2307s | um |
| 2309s | a lot of different things to keep in |
| 2312s | mind where |
| 2313s | these are kind of being constantly |
| 2315s | improved on and constantly being kind of |
| 2317s | fed back into the system and |
| 2319s | checked out and |
| 2323s | making sure that the they are being |
| 2326s | fixed and the fixed worked the way we |
| 2328s | want it to be worked |
| 2333s | but |
| 2338s | yeah it it's a bit of a whack-a-mole |
| 2340s | when it comes to bugs |
| 2342s | um because sometimes you're looking at a |
| 2344s | bug and what you think maybe the problem |
| 2347s | is actually just the symptom of an issue |
| 2351s | and then you end up just fixing the |
| 2353s | symptom and not the actual core |
| 2354s | underlaying issue |
| 2357s | um |
| 2359s | which then it crops up and manifests in |
| 2361s | a different way so it it does feel like |
| 2364s | it |
| 2366s | um |
| 2367s | and and sometimes it didn't feel quite |
| 2369s | hopeless when you're really struggling |
| 2371s | with figuring out what is causing a |
| 2374s | specific issue like we had a like a name |
| 2377s | configuration that just caused massive |
| 2379s | explosions and the server died |
| 2382s | or |
| 2384s | we've had wind here |
| 2389s | we've had a lot of things that have |
| 2391s | cropped up that we haven't really been |
| 2393s | able to test properly for is really the |
| 2395s | stress testing of the server so to kind |
| 2398s | of optimize certain functionalities |
| 2400s | things are being added as a a |
| 2403s | multi-threaded environment where |
| 2406s | um an action is |
| 2408s | calculated in a way by the CPU and it's |
| 2412s | then being shared over different threads |
| 2414s | so it can calculate the different pieces |
| 2416s | in sequence |
| 2418s | or in parallel rather than in sequence |
| 2420s | so instead of just having to wait for an |
| 2422s | instruction and then process that and |
| 2424s | read that and then it waits for another |
| 2426s | instruction it tries to calculate more |
| 2427s | things at once |
| 2431s | and this works a lot of this can be |
| 2436s | fantastic but it can also be an absolute |
| 2439s | nightmare because some of these bugs are |
| 2441s | really really hard to nail down why |
| 2443s | they're happening in the way that |
| 2444s | they're happening |
| 2447s | and |
| 2450s | stress testing the server has really |
| 2453s | really really helped finding some of |
| 2456s | these issues |
| 2458s | where we just haven't had the simulated |
| 2463s | production line for really testing some |
| 2467s | of these scenarios that have cropped up |
| 2471s | so it's been |
| 2473s | it's just been absolutely fantastic to |
| 2475s | be able to use white tiger to kind of |
| 2478s | nail all of these different |
| 2480s | rare case scenarios |
| 2486s | um are you targeting a version 10 |
| 2488s | release in 2023 or will it be a 2024 |
| 2490s | thing I will |
| 2493s | keep |
| 2495s | kind of parroting that in once it's |
| 2497s | stable enough |
| 2499s | we'll announce it and |
| 2502s | push for release when it's ready |
| 2506s | and |
| 2508s | as of right now it's hard to set the |
| 2510s | date on it it really depends on how much |
| 2512s | we're finding |
| 2514s | in terms of these bugs and how much we |
| 2516s | get done |
| 2517s | in an orderly fashion app making sure |
| 2520s | that these |
| 2521s | the whole thing kind of works and and |
| 2523s | it's rigidly stable because we don't |
| 2525s | want to rush a release and then have it |
| 2528s | um you know everyone has to roll back |
| 2531s | every other week just because something |
| 2533s | kind of quirked out and it's |
| 2535s | unrecoverable |
| 2537s | and so we'd rather take a bit of extra |
| 2540s | time to really make sure that these bugs |
| 2541s | gets properly fixed not just |
| 2545s | you know getting a Band-Aid and then |
| 2547s | it explodes at the later date when we |
| 2549s | try to fix something else |
| 2553s | um what about the memory leak every time |
| 2555s | you hit mechanics |
| 2557s | hit mechanics with steam trucks the |
| 2559s | memory leaks killing the sound |
| 2562s | um |
| 2564s | not entirely sure I understand what that |
| 2566s | one is about |
| 2570s | um |
| 2572s | that in regards to you hitting the truck |
| 2575s | with an interaction or is that |
| 2578s | [Music] |
| 2579s | um |
| 2581s | you too |
| 2582s | you're driving the steam truck or |
| 2586s | uh probably easily just give me a DM on |
| 2589s | Discord |
| 2590s | or ping me and |
| 2592s | probably take a look at it I know that |
| 2594s | I've seen |
| 2597s | um |
| 2600s | when you hit mechanics and steam tracks |
| 2601s | are coming out |
| 2603s | um yeah like hit me up on Discord and |
| 2606s | we'll we can take a look at it because |
| 2607s | I'd be interested in getting |
| 2609s | a memory dump and a snapshot and be able |
| 2613s | to pass it on to to Gregorian some of |
| 2615s | the tech guys to kind of profile and go |
| 2617s | through |
| 2618s | what is being used and and how it's |
| 2621s | what is being accessed by the game |
| 2626s | we cost that and kind of where that |
| 2628s | memory is allocated in terms of the game |
| 2630s | cycle |
| 2634s | uh do wild animals have age so they die |
| 2638s | of old age Etc |
| 2642s | um |
| 2643s | they don't really have an age cycle I |
| 2646s | believe at the moment |
| 2648s | the animals are something that we will |
| 2651s | be looking at |
| 2653s | not reworking quite significantly once |
| 2656s | we get to |
| 2658s | a point where animal husbandry is |
| 2660s | starting to be properly scheduled out |
| 2662s | and |
| 2663s | look that |
| 2665s | uh here we got some some sunflowers |
| 2669s | as you can see there's |
| 2671s | whole bunch load of farm Fields kind of |
| 2673s | all over the place where they're tucked |
| 2675s | away and and where they have properties |
| 2676s | we got some pumpkins and some rice |
| 2680s | um as you saw there we had rice earlier |
| 2682s | in the |
| 2683s | wetlands and here we have some in the |
| 2685s | grassland as well |
| 2692s | uh |
| 2698s | I played Eco somewhere in 2018 the game |
| 2701s | was in a very early access for me as an |
| 2703s | offline player it was available |
| 2706s | game pushed heavily into trading and |
| 2708s | online trading bothered me a lot |
| 2711s | um |
| 2712s | if you're thinking in regards to kind of |
| 2715s | take progression |
| 2717s | I would recommend if you're looking at |
| 2719s | playing this as kind of a single player |
| 2723s | just casual experience |
| 2726s | um I would recommend |
| 2728s | doing um |
| 2730s | just playing it in using no |
| 2733s | collaboration difficulty settings |
| 2735s | just to make sure that the skill rates |
| 2736s | are changed and kind of the ingredient |
| 2738s | costs are reduced a bit and that for me |
| 2741s | works fine |
| 2743s | um |
| 2746s | playing uh |
| 2748s | on my own or in a dual setup |
| 2751s | um |
| 2753s | which I do |
| 2755s | at least I really enjoy the multi-layer |
| 2758s | aspect of it but I also play it single |
| 2760s | player myself as kind of a actual thing |
| 2762s | to kind of just ink around with or build |
| 2765s | a bit or |
| 2768s | um trying things out that I like to do |
| 2773s | and yeah armored stone that is a very |
| 2775s | good |
| 2776s | a very good note when you are |
| 2780s | reporting bugs |
| 2783s | or reporting issues with technical |
| 2785s | issues that you run into |
| 2788s | I should specify |
| 2789s | um |
| 2790s | where you run into things like it's |
| 2792s | crashing or |
| 2794s | you know my tools disappeared what the |
| 2796s | heck what happened |
| 2799s | um make sure to grab your player logs |
| 2803s | and if you're testing this out in a |
| 2806s | local setting where you're running the |
| 2808s | server yourself |
| 2809s | also includes server logs |
| 2813s | because it really really helps finding |
| 2816s | these things and make sure that you're |
| 2817s | posting the entirety of the log just not |
| 2820s | Snippets of |
| 2822s | the bugs |
| 2823s | or the errors like the Civic errors |
| 2827s | because some errors might be something |
| 2829s | that we are expecting to see in the log |
| 2831s | versus something that may not look like |
| 2833s | an error and or it may not be apparent |
| 2836s | be the cause of the issue |
| 2840s | foreign |
| 2845s | yeah so there is some detailing of where |
| 2848s | this player log is found |
| 2850s | but it is in the strange Loop games |
| 2853s | folder inside app data depending on your |
| 2857s | OS |
| 2858s | Windows 11 has some new funky things in |
| 2861s | it that is causing issues |
| 2867s | so yeah |
| 2869s | um |
| 2870s | believe it's pinned in the |
| 2874s | if you join up on Discord which is |
| 2878s | preferable choice of |
| 2881s | feedback when it comes to some of these |
| 2883s | things because it's easier for us to |
| 2884s | track it |
| 2886s | and you go into |
| 2889s | channel it's in |
| 2891s | technical help |
| 2893s | you've got all the information regarding |
| 2896s | what operating systems is supported |
| 2900s | um FAQs for where to find logs where to |
| 2904s | find user logs player logs and server |
| 2906s | logs |
| 2907s | as well as minimum requirements and so |
| 2910s | on so forth is pinned in the messages |
| 2917s | and it is like I said I I can't iterate |
| 2920s | it enough it is essential to get bugs |
| 2924s | reported for us to fix it |
| 2925s | in some bugs we might not experience |
| 2927s | ourselves |
| 2929s | um a common one that has cropped up |
| 2933s | for some of the interactions that we've |
| 2936s | seen in terms of our technical |
| 2938s | difficulties in reproducing some of |
| 2940s | these things |
| 2942s | is bugs where we have a different |
| 2945s | Behavior cropping up inside Unity |
| 2949s | um game engine editor |
| 2951s | versus what is experienced in a build |
| 2954s | game client |
| 2957s | so we could have something that works |
| 2959s | completely 100 percent fine and as |
| 2961s | expected in the editor |
| 2963s | but then it's completely broken when it |
| 2966s | comes to a built client |
| 2968s | and some of those things can get really |
| 2971s | tricky to replicate on RN because some |
| 2973s | may be very Hardware related so |
| 2977s | having the ability to kind of draw on |
| 2980s | you guys |
| 2982s | um participating in these play tests |
| 2985s | also helps us cover a lot of the |
| 2987s | variations of Hardwares that may be |
| 2990s | conflicting or causing problems be it |
| 2992s | due to the the specific Unity version or |
| 2996s | some other technical dependencies like |
| 2998s | realize and the audio systems or Vox or |
| 3001s | The Voice functionalities |
| 3005s | it's just super important for |
| 3010s | for us to be able to kind of properly |
| 3013s | move forward and fixing some of these |
| 3015s | more unique cases of issues |
| 3019s | do you know if the play test is due to |
| 3022s | end before release we've noticed servers |
| 3024s | are dying because people left us to go |
| 3026s | to the play test is it worth us making a |
| 3028s | decent soon um I think that one depends |
| 3031s | on your cycle scale but |
| 3033s | there is there is most likely going to |
| 3036s | be another play test cycle after the |
| 3038s | current one |
| 3040s | in some way manner shape or form |
| 3043s | um |
| 3045s | and this will go on as the usual white |
| 3049s | tiger cycle so they're they're |
| 3051s | approximate to 30 days |
| 3063s | it is day eight now so it's got at least |
| 3066s | another you know 20 22 days |
| 3069s | um for this specific play test |
| 3080s | um Azimuth hello |
| 3082s | and |
| 3084s | that is amazing to see you've been |
| 3086s | playing since since basically the early |
| 3088s | stage of |
| 3090s | Kickstarter |
| 3091s | um |
| 3094s | it's been a it's been a long ride but |
| 3096s | it's |
| 3097s | been quite a lot of fun and |
| 3101s | we are gonna keep trying to do the best |
| 3104s | we can and getting some more awesome |
| 3106s | functions and |
| 3109s | more awesome updates in the future to |
| 3111s | come up |
| 3123s | uh Alpenglow |
| 3127s | um |
| 3129s | the that was a long one |
| 3133s | um and quite a few ones as well um |
| 3135s | approximately how long will this game be |
| 3137s | in early access and and |
| 3140s | we'll follow up on that I think that one |
| 3142s | is probably better if he |
| 3145s | posts in a DM to Dennis because he'll |
| 3148s | probably have better answers for those |
| 3151s | than I have |
| 3154s | um |
| 3158s | literally have a lot of a lot of things |
| 3160s | I can say about that |
| 3163s | um |
| 3165s | what were your plans about adding boats |
| 3167s | I mean I might |
| 3170s | um I mean myself I won't really use them |
| 3172s | or are the seeds gonna change a lot the |
| 3174s | world gen is probably gonna be staying |
| 3178s | somewhat similar to what it is right now |
| 3181s | so |
| 3182s | on the topic of boats and the |
| 3184s | restrictions |
| 3186s | we did add some changes to things like |
| 3191s | um calories spent when swimming and |
| 3194s | it's been a bit of a con |
| 3197s | um |
| 3198s | foreign |
| 3200s | difficult and |
| 3203s | kind of hard choices that we've done in |
| 3206s | terms of some of the restrictiveness to |
| 3207s | it it is a server setting that you can |
| 3211s | flip on and off depending on |
| 3214s | there we have a Pikachu in the |
| 3215s | background here as well |
| 3217s | um |
| 3220s | there yeah and and solder comes in as |
| 3224s | well I thought I wouldn't use boats that |
| 3225s | much either but they've turned out to be |
| 3227s | a great way to transport materials yeah |
| 3229s | and I think that's |
| 3231s | it's not so much as trying to punish |
| 3234s | players for not using them to kind of |
| 3236s | make them use them |
| 3239s | um |
| 3241s | which is |
| 3244s | sort of been a big debate |
| 3246s | um in terms of like how are we gonna get |
| 3248s | boats to be usable how are you know how |
| 3250s | are the how are they gonna be |
| 3253s | why should we use bullets when we can |
| 3254s | just build Bridges everywhere well I |
| 3256s | mean if you're using a boat |
| 3259s | you already have this amazing huge |
| 3261s | bridge between land masses |
| 3265s | um |
| 3266s | and that's part of the idea as well |
| 3271s | um there is some server toggles for |
| 3274s | changing some of these things out like |
| 3276s | we've got some like people are building |
| 3277s | like natural canals to kind of punch in |
| 3279s | and be able to access materials and |
| 3281s | shops kind of |
| 3283s | like look at this we've got uh we've got |
| 3285s | a boat shop here |
| 3287s | um |
| 3291s | so this is essentially you can you can |
| 3292s | roll out with the canoe here and then |
| 3294s | the water thing is |
| 3296s | let's let's pretend that we don't see |
| 3298s | that one |
| 3299s | um water physics is still a little bit |
| 3300s | of a |
| 3305s | [Music] |
| 3310s | um |
| 3311s | I think that we're looking at improving |
| 3314s | as well |
| 3316s | um but as you can see people are coming |
| 3318s | up with creative ways to kind of cater |
| 3320s | the naval navigation |
| 3323s | uh |
| 3327s | uh where we're yeah calories when |
| 3329s | swimming |
| 3330s | um |
| 3332s | calories are multiplied when you're |
| 3335s | swimming and if you run out of calories |
| 3339s | um you |
| 3341s | can I drown and get moved to the nearest |
| 3344s | land mass |
| 3348s | uh |
| 3349s | let's avoid that one as well |
| 3351s | didn't see that crap |
| 3354s | um so calories are spent when swimming |
| 3356s | in two different |
| 3358s | Amplified ways so if we're going into |
| 3361s | players did that one disappear on me now |
| 3364s | yeah |
| 3365s | of course it did |
| 3367s | um so you've got the ocean biome |
| 3370s | and you have deep ocean biome and if we |
| 3373s | dive down into the deep here |
| 3376s | you can tell the visual difference |
| 3378s | between a ocean biome which is kind of |
| 3381s | the shoreline and the adjacent value |
| 3384s | here |
| 3386s | going up to the edge |
| 3389s | of the area here and then you're |
| 3392s | starting to come out into the deep ocean |
| 3393s | biome where you have this kind of |
| 3396s | Mariana Trench feel to it where it's |
| 3399s | just a deep void |
| 3401s | and |
| 3404s | when you're swimming here you've got a |
| 3406s | multiplier for calorie consumption that |
| 3408s | has been increased for the ocean biome |
| 3410s | and that's one of the big |
| 3412s | uh one of the big feedbacks that we've |
| 3414s | gotten when it comes to some of the |
| 3416s | balance changes that I've done |
| 3418s | we had an initial value for calorie |
| 3421s | consumption that was just eating with |
| 3423s | people and they couldn't get where they |
| 3425s | wanted and |
| 3426s | they were very unhappy with how |
| 3428s | restrictive it was so I |
| 3430s | reduced the calories spent quite |
| 3433s | significantly for the ocean biome to |
| 3435s | allow people to be harvesting and kind |
| 3438s | of collecting the crops and things of |
| 3440s | the ocean |
| 3442s | but you still have a pretty hefty cost |
| 3444s | for crossing larger bodies of water with |
| 3446s | deep ocean |
| 3449s | do any players use drowning to get to |
| 3452s | the other side |
| 3453s | um |
| 3458s | do any players use drowning to get to |
| 3460s | the other side of the ocean without |
| 3461s | swimming the whole distance when you're |
| 3464s | sitting still you're not using calories |
| 3467s | so if you're just kind of back paddling |
| 3469s | and just stationary in the water it's |
| 3472s | um you're not going to be affected so if |
| 3474s | you have a case where |
| 3475s | you really don't want to be ported |
| 3477s | somewhere where you fell off your canoe |
| 3479s | and it just went over and in the |
| 3480s | distance you can just sit still and ask |
| 3482s | if someone can can kind of help you away |
| 3486s | help you out there |
| 3488s | um |
| 3489s | uh let's see ask for |
| 3494s | oh okay open now now I get to so if |
| 3498s | they're they're Force using the mechanic |
| 3500s | to kind of hop over |
| 3504s | um |
| 3505s | I mean it's entirely possible I believe |
| 3507s | we had some ideas in regards to things |
| 3511s | like |
| 3512s | you get moved back to the original point |
| 3516s | of before you jumped into the water |
| 3520s | but |
| 3521s | the um |
| 3523s | it's something that will probably look |
| 3526s | at feedback for once it goes more |
| 3528s | publicly live and the stable Branch |
| 3530s | comes out and more people are |
| 3531s | experiencing it you can see where what |
| 3533s | we want to do with it if we want to |
| 3535s | change it |
| 3537s | um |
| 3538s | but it's probably under you know it's an |
| 3541s | exploit per se but it's also one of |
| 3545s | those things where we probably won't |
| 3547s | mind it as much |
| 3549s | because you're still going to be |
| 3550s | emptying out your calories and |
| 3553s | you would need to calculate exactly how |
| 3556s | much calories are being drained out or |
| 3558s | you're going to be wasting a bunch of |
| 3559s | food rather than just swimming it |
| 3564s | um |
| 3566s | have you considered special gifts or |
| 3568s | people who want to go shark hunting and |
| 3570s | and whatnot and thinking about scuba |
| 3573s | gears yeah we we have |
| 3575s | we've thought about it and we'll |
| 3578s | probably look at adding some some |
| 3581s | outfits gonna help mitigate some of the |
| 3583s | penalties for it |
| 3587s | um |
| 3591s | to be able to kind of navigate and and |
| 3593s | you know |
| 3595s | reduce that deep ocean to be able to do |
| 3598s | deep ocean diving so on so forth because |
| 3600s | we are also looking at kind of Water |
| 3602s | Resources we want to have available |
| 3604s | in the deep ocean biome as well as |
| 3606s | adding more things in the regular ocean |
| 3608s | biome like corals and |
| 3612s | generally just more things to uh to kind |
| 3614s | of populate the areas |
| 3617s | give them more color and give them more |
| 3619s | variations |
| 3620s | we're also looking at a new |
| 3623s | a new type of structure for the Kelps |
| 3625s | and a lot of other kind of |
| 3628s | visual polish to it |
| 3631s | um |
| 3634s | how about making swimming and devotion |
| 3636s | take more calories than longer your |
| 3637s | swimming exponent you can travel short |
| 3639s | distances but as soon as you travel |
| 3641s | larger system you need to |
| 3643s | boats |
| 3645s | um |
| 3646s | I think it's a good idea but it's also |
| 3650s | it's |
| 3654s | kind of difficult to represent as well |
| 3656s | because we you would need to kind of |
| 3658s | incorporate this in a nice clean way of |
| 3660s | like a UI pop-up or |
| 3663s | something that would tell you how long |
| 3665s | you're doing it and |
| 3667s | I'm not a particular big fan of things |
| 3671s | like |
| 3672s | you know like a big UI bar that comes up |
| 3675s | and kind of calculates down as you're |
| 3677s | swimming more or |
| 3679s | um like a Sprint exhaustion |
| 3682s | basically like a stamina bar that gets |
| 3684s | depleted the further out you are |
| 3688s | um but it's it's been things that have |
| 3690s | been discussed and kind of |
| 3692s | kind of bounced around in terms of ideas |
| 3694s | looking at it and seeing how we're how |
| 3697s | we uh how we want to approach it to make |
| 3699s | it really valuable |
| 3703s | um |
| 3704s | but we are at the same time we also want |
| 3706s | to make sure that some of these options |
| 3708s | are server configurable so people can |
| 3711s | customize them and some of the options |
| 3713s | for that like hard coding the the adding |
| 3715s | in the UI elements and kind of adding |
| 3717s | that stamina restriction would be a lot |
| 3719s | of client-side stuff and that is really |
| 3721s | difficult to make a moddable at the |
| 3723s | moment |
| 3726s | I'm hoping that a lot of people are |
| 3730s | happy and content with some of the |
| 3733s | changes for these things |
| 3744s | for people that are interested in it let |
| 3746s | me you know |
| 3757s | yeah so |
| 3758s | in the new the new system and the new |
| 3762s | restrictions that you have for Server |
| 3764s | administrators |
| 3766s | you have this swim speed which is a |
| 3769s | multiply reduction so you can affect and |
| 3771s | change out the swim speed penalty for |
| 3774s | swimming in the ocean as well as the |
| 3777s | deep ocean and then the different types |
| 3779s | of calorie consumption rates and as well |
| 3782s | as these two booleans that will allow |
| 3785s | you to toggle on and off if you want to |
| 3788s | allow people to be capable of building |
| 3792s | or if you want to restrict building |
| 3794s | completely |
| 3796s | as well as if you want players to be |
| 3798s | able to drown or not so you can still |
| 3800s | have |
| 3801s | the calorie consumption multiplier and |
| 3803s | you can add you know people swimming |
| 3805s | really slowly but you could disable the |
| 3808s | teleportation completely if you wanted |
| 3810s | to |
| 3812s | um so admins I'm hoping can customize |
| 3814s | this to make sure that they're |
| 3816s | they're kind of |
| 3818s | getting the restrictiveness options that |
| 3821s | they would like for their specific |
| 3823s | servers |
| 3825s | but still allow the flexibility of |
| 3829s | players being able to still be as |
| 3832s | creative as they want them to be allowed |
| 3834s | to |
| 3836s | um |
| 3840s | [Music] |
| 3846s | I don't know |
| 3858s | do they have anything else on the agenda |
| 3860s | that some of the other balance feedbacks |
| 3862s | we've gotten was the some of the |
| 3865s | crafting costs for some of the new |
| 3866s | intermediary items |
| 3869s | um |
| 3870s | this is quite clever use of block |
| 3872s | materials I have to say |
| 3875s | whoever built this very nicely done |
| 3880s | always like a good pixel art to show up |
| 3883s | in |
| 3886s | some of the shapes here so here we have |
| 3888s | a really dense rainforest |
| 3892s | cropping up and some of the changes that |
| 3894s | are being handled by the players |
| 3897s | they figured out that all of these |
| 3899s | Sabers needed to go so they transformed |
| 3901s | the forest into a non-existing forest |
| 3914s | relevant questions to that area |
| 3917s | um |
| 3922s | are trains and rail carts on your radar |
| 3926s | for the future |
| 3928s | um |
| 3930s | the uh |
| 3932s | it is a question that keeps propping up |
| 3934s | and |
| 3936s | I am probably leaning towards a |
| 3941s | non-answer for that one |
| 3943s | because we have a lot of other things |
| 3945s | that is taking our priority in terms of |
| 3948s | both system upgrades and also some of |
| 3950s | the your functionalities that we are |
| 3952s | looking at adding |
| 3954s | prior to that and |
| 3957s | it's probably something that we'll get |
| 3960s | answers for |
| 3963s | um in the future sometime |
| 3978s | question is |
| 3984s | Uber suits more resources specific to |
| 3987s | deep water |
| 3988s | yeah it |
| 3990s | okay I already answered that one bit |
| 3991s | yeah we'll we'll probably see some some |
| 3994s | new stuff that's coming out for |
| 3995s | additions for the water biomes |
| 3998s | in the future |
| 4000s | it's something that I want to see yes |
| 4001s | get some cool cool coloration and just |
| 4005s | more things in here we've got the sea |
| 4007s | urchin that is giving it some color |
| 4010s | but for me personally it still looks a |
| 4013s | little bit Bland and I'd like some more |
| 4014s | variations just aesthetically for it |
| 4018s | um we've got some some ideas to what we |
| 4020s | want to populate in it and how we want |
| 4022s | to do it |
| 4024s | and give it a more natural feel |
| 4027s | adding more Ambience to it |
| 4032s | we got some planted some planted the |
| 4035s | offshore trees |
| 4037s | keep adding more to a certain |
| 4039s | environment we've got some planted egg |
| 4042s | tie here as well I believe |
| 4045s | look at that |
| 4047s | I wonder I wonder |
| 4051s | bit of a mining area here |
| 4055s | randomly spawning treasure chests no I |
| 4058s | mean we we do have we do have one Easter |
| 4060s | egg when it comes to that |
| 4064s | but they didn't |
| 4065s | loaded in one of the bigger hotels I |
| 4067s | believe |
| 4071s | Welcome to the |
| 4074s | housing |
| 4077s | area I guess |
| 4084s | that is some significant effort getting |
| 4087s | some of that stuff built here |
| 4089s | foreign |
| 4092s | [Music] |
| 4100s | yeah like we've got I think we've got a |
| 4103s | few ideas and and I know the art team |
| 4105s | has some some things up their sleeve |
| 4107s | when it comes to that that'll really |
| 4109s | know everyone's mind |
| 4112s | um we'll get we'll get back on that in a |
| 4115s | in a future stream with later update |
| 4119s | um the swim speed was reduced and like |
| 4121s | not weak due to the play test feedback |
| 4123s | we've got some inconsistencies with tool |
| 4126s | durabilities that I'll be going over and |
| 4128s | changing out in |
| 4129s | upcoming day here on on Monday or |
| 4132s | Tuesday |
| 4134s | um |
| 4135s | there has been some feedback about the |
| 4137s | influence and culture being very |
| 4138s | unpredictable to calculate as well as |
| 4140s | kind of how to gauge the influence of |
| 4142s | effect than those areas and that's also |
| 4145s | something that |
| 4147s | um I kind of want to break down a bit |
| 4148s | then look over |
| 4152s | how that's detailed as well as expand |
| 4154s | some of the information on for that too |
| 4157s | no |
| 4158s | mitigate the information flow |
| 4162s | um |
| 4164s | but yeah |
| 4166s | I I think that's it for |
| 4168s | for this Friday unless someone has any |
| 4170s | other |
| 4172s | any other questions I think I answered |
| 4175s | most of it |
| 4183s | I I think that's probably it for uh |
| 4188s | or today |
| 4191s | uh we've moved |
| 4193s | I think it's probably some of the people |
| 4195s | I've noticed we have moved to a more |
| 4197s | bi-weekly schedule for the streams it |
| 4200s | just made my schedule a lot more stained |
| 4204s | mine too |
| 4206s | I'm gonna make sure that these beams are |
| 4208s | on time |
