| 1s | and we're live hello everyone welcome to |
|---|---|
| 5s | another Friday stream with strange Loop |
| 7s | games |
| 8s | I'm Jens and we have Toby here with us |
| 11s | that we've seen a couple of streams now |
| 13s | hopefully we'll see him more on more on |
| 15s | camera here |
| 17s | hi how's it going everyone |
| 20s | uh it's very early for me so I'm still |
| 22s | drinking my coffee yeah yeah Toby's |
| 26s | down down under far away on on an |
| 29s | opposite time zone so he is very early |
| 32s | in the morning on on Saturday |
| 35s | uh so very very happy to have you here |
| 38s | and very |
| 39s | thankful to um have you be able to |
| 42s | participate in this in this Saturday |
| 45s | morning streams |
| 46s | it should be fun yeah |
| 48s | um so to start off |
| 51s | um there is a slight delay in what we |
| 54s | were hoping to have our settlement |
| 56s | stream |
| 58s | um today as I know a lot of people have |
| 60s | been looking forward to but |
| 61s | unfortunately that got a post uh pushed |
| 63s | and postponed to next week |
| 66s | um I believe Dennis can probably |
| 67s | accurately |
| 69s | um correct me if I'm wrong |
| 71s | and today we'll simply go over some of |
| 75s | the uh some of the post 10 ideas plans |
| 78s | designs and |
| 79s | things that we are cooking things that |
| 82s | we have not really shown off yet |
| 85s | um yeah the the reason for the delay |
| 87s | being GDC being this week so that an |
| 90s | occupied John which |
| 92s | uh is a main component to be able to be |
| 95s | able to show off settlements |
| 98s | um |
| 98s | and |
| 100s | yeah that that's it for settlements I |
| 103s | think we'll just hide and pretend that |
| 105s | we |
| 107s | um we can see it next week |
| 109s | uh |
| 112s | so for what we have planned for today |
| 114s | well we've got a couple of objects that |
| 116s | we haven't really shown off yet that |
| 118s | we've added recently and that kind of |
| 120s | fits in with the settlement theme and we |
| 123s | wanted some new some new signs some |
| 125s | bigger bigger Billboards and things that |
| 128s | can help people write the text and |
| 130s | [Music] |
| 131s | um |
| 132s | also |
| 134s | kind of just help give a bit more |
| 137s | Aesthetics and then just like General |
| 139s | General extra things in the world that |
| 141s | makes it look more like an actual world |
| 145s | and you can have more |
| 147s | um just more unique uniqueness to your |
| 149s | settlements |
| 153s | I think we can just dig straight through |
| 155s | it I do have a couple of issues with |
| 156s | unity right now that is it's misbehaving |
| 158s | a little bit so the frame rate is |
| 160s | tanking uh from somewhere I haven't |
| 162s | really been able to nail it down so I do |
| 165s | apologize for it |
| 166s | the slightly lower frame rate than usual |
| 169s | uh it's still probably gonna be better |
| 171s | than Australian internet screaming so |
| 175s | gotta frame rate |
| 176s | uh yes we can transition over here and |
| 181s | we have |
| 184s | adjust that a little bit uh there we go |
| 187s | now we have unity and unity is playing |
| 189s | a bit foul as said so |
| 193s | banners and billboards and borders or |
| 195s | kind of Border declarations I guess or |
| 197s | however you want to see it like big |
| 200s | signs that you come up along highways |
| 202s | and Roads and things like that |
| 204s | is something that we |
| 207s | haven't really had in Eco we have a |
| 209s | bunch of signs which is quite a large |
| 212s | volume and a lot of different |
| 213s | Alternatives and and visual styles that |
| 216s | I'm really really happy that we have so |
| 219s | everyone can kind of make their own |
| 220s | things and we have the ability to add |
| 222s | icons and different kind of colorization |
| 225s | on the text and a lot of a lot of |
| 228s | customizations for it |
| 230s | but we haven't really had these really |
| 232s | big |
| 234s | announcement signs or like really really |
| 237s | huge signs which we're kind of remedying |
| 240s | today |
| 242s | um apparently shop doesn't really want |
| 244s | to hide let's |
| 245s | just we can get rid of that |
| 248s | we have the |
| 250s | we have three variations of them and we |
| 252s | have three with two types but three |
| 254s | variation formats we have the huge |
| 259s | I think it's called huge wooden sign |
| 264s | I'm absolutely fantastic when it comes |
| 266s | to remembering the names of the items |
| 269s | I've added to the tech tree myself so |
| 271s | uh game sign let's just do this and get |
| 274s | the whole |
| 275s | this is this is the amount of science we |
| 277s | have in the game |
| 279s | that's a lot of science that is a lot of |
| 281s | science |
| 282s | uh |
| 283s | and apparently I scaled up as well |
| 287s | huge that's the one that's that's the |
| 289s | ones we're looking for huge |
| 292s | and they're a sign |
| 294s | and then we have huge iron that's right |
| 298s | and we have a steel one |
| 301s | so let's start with |
| 304s | currently not steel iron steel iron is |
| 308s | not a thing apparently and I apologize |
| 310s | for the |
| 312s | I mean can we disappear there we go |
| 317s | so we have the ground version of them |
| 319s | and we have |
| 322s | um |
| 323s | these are among the the new ones this is |
| 326s | the canvas wooden one |
| 327s | which is crafted through uh the hewn |
| 331s | logs and fabric and |
| 334s | some of the new linen yarn that you |
| 337s | acquire from plants |
| 339s | uh this is |
| 341s | an amazingly sized sign |
| 347s | look at that amazing |
| 350s | it's it's pretty big it is pretty big |
| 353s | this thing is |
| 356s | the other one |
| 357s | these signs are eight tiles wide so they |
| 361s | can cover most roads that you're trying |
| 363s | to place them on |
| 368s | that one yeah as well |
| 370s | we got this deal on |
| 373s | and these have equivalents in tiers as |
| 376s | well so you have the wooden one which is |
| 379s | this nice canvas looking one and then we |
| 381s | have the iron one which is |
| 384s | and a flat steel looking |
| 386s | iron Cyanogen change your time of the |
| 389s | agents oh yeah well I I do want to but I |
| 393s | mean give me just just a second here |
| 395s | okay we have one more which is the steel |
| 397s | modern one |
| 400s | um which is |
| 402s | looking like this |
| 404s | and this thing where I kind of wanted to |
| 406s | keep it my time actually has lights and |
| 408s | I see is lighting up |
| 410s | so these are the ones that you can kind |
| 413s | of place on the wall or on the ground |
| 414s | and can have along along buildings or |
| 417s | whatnot and then we also have |
| 419s | equivalent ones that are standing on |
| 423s | pillars or legs portals uh frames |
| 426s | which whichever you kind of |
| 430s | use frame |
| 432s | raised wise to do and I believe that one |
| 434s | was the iron one so it is the same kind |
| 438s | of format for it but it's in a |
| 441s | elevated States you can have this over |
| 442s | highways or entrances into towns or |
| 446s | you want to have it on your parking lot |
| 448s | and advertise sale of goods or |
| 451s | whatever you feel like |
| 453s | and we have of course we have the |
| 455s | equivalent one for the |
| 457s | that one as well and I wanna |
| 461s | have the uh |
| 464s | what was that one called a good one help |
| 466s | me here |
| 467s | can you can you find it for me |
| 469s | I'll find it |
| 472s | so |
| 474s | fines or or |
| 475s | the advertisement bread and butter where |
| 478s | people can just like write up whatever |
| 481s | they want whatever they feel like and |
| 484s | something that |
| 486s | not all too many people were seemingly |
| 489s | aware of I've been talking about it on |
| 491s | Discord a little bit where |
| 494s | you have the colorization for fonts |
| 497s | um |
| 497s | not sure how well the font the actual |
| 499s | TMP font change works |
| 502s | so I'll probably avoid that but |
| 505s | or |
| 507s | there we go |
| 509s | um when you're adding text here so we |
| 511s | got text template here |
| 514s | and then that pops up as as normal we're |
| 518s | still adding things so you can you can |
| 519s | be able to do this on both sides |
| 522s | yeah that's the one thank you |
| 525s | um so what how do you do it if you |
| 527s | wanted to add colorization to it well |
| 528s | you you run it as HTML code |
| 532s | which is basically just telling it to |
| 534s | use color |
| 535s | and then telling it either in HEX code |
| 538s | or just what color you want to use and |
| 541s | then that will colorize anything that is |
| 543s | beyond that point |
| 545s | so now we have red text on this |
| 547s | and this is looking amazing kind of hard |
| 550s | to see in the dark due to the nature of |
| 552s | the dark red color |
| 555s | uh |
| 557s | time noon |
| 561s | and as I said this works with hex code |
| 564s | as well so this would just be like |
| 566s | uh |
| 571s | that I think |
| 573s | isn't that how hex code works yeah |
| 575s | there we go |
| 577s | so this also allows you to kind of add |
| 580s | signs and add different types of icons |
| 583s | and you can see if I can remember |
| 586s | uh |
| 588s | uh how to how the phrasing for this is |
| 591s | so we got icon |
| 593s | or is it Eco icon |
| 595s | go icon |
| 597s | icon and the name mechanics |
| 601s | and I believe that's the case |
| 606s | um that's for a question the the lights |
| 609s | on the signs I believe that's not |
| 611s | necessary at the moment yeah look at |
| 613s | that I even remember how to use icons |
| 615s | properly immediately |
| 617s | nice |
| 621s | it'd be nice to have some sort of editor |
| 623s | for that one day like instead of having |
| 625s | to remember the code but yeah like in |
| 629s | insert just insert icon and then you |
| 631s | just drag the icon in here or something |
| 633s | that's definitely something that we can |
| 636s | look at from kind of usability because |
| 638s | this is this is a lot to remember or |
| 641s | constantly have to check up if you're |
| 644s | not all too familiar with HTML which |
| 647s | I'm not yeah you know we're not |
| 649s | expecting everyone to do which is |
| 652s | partially why the Wikipedia page popped |
| 655s | up and we might actually do an entry on |
| 658s | that in our own |
| 659s | ecopedia here like |
| 662s | dealing with with like |
| 664s | um |
| 665s | lines or something in here where you |
| 667s | could have these kind of formats and |
| 669s | different examples on how you can use |
| 670s | this but this will take like underlying |
| 673s | bold |
| 673s | it did take size to a certain degree |
| 677s | um |
| 679s | so this will take any string or any |
| 682s | reference to any type of item or object |
| 685s | so if we do like red |
| 687s | it'll grab the tag or the bread |
| 691s | or if you wanted the actual specific |
| 693s | bread you would need to do red item |
| 696s | and it kind of pops up and just |
| 698s | beautiful |
| 700s | you can do |
| 702s | an amazing |
| 704s | awesome cheap red at the highest quality |
| 712s | how can someone resist that bread it's |
| 714s | amazing yeah |
| 716s | um so |
| 718s | this this all let me just grab that one |
| 721s | because like we got close that one last |
| 724s | year |
| 725s | huge wooden Banner |
| 728s | we have this one as well for the |
| 731s | wooden the wooden one so that one has a |
| 733s | little bit of detail with wood and rope |
| 735s | and |
| 737s | other things |
| 739s | currently I don't have the new Avatar |
| 741s | enabled on on develop so that's why you |
| 744s | have this Martian looking guy yeah |
| 748s | the Hulk yeah the Hulk |
| 751s | um |
| 753s | yeah we've got we've got those that will |
| 755s | probably help |
| 757s | give that entry and maybe advertise say |
| 759s | Hey you know looking for new settlers |
| 762s | um please come over here or |
| 764s | if you really really need that iron bar |
| 766s | you can write it out on a bigger side |
| 768s | now so anyone can pass and then know |
| 770s | that you need iron bars |
| 772s | we also have a bunch of new fun things |
| 776s | stripes and |
| 779s | smaller banners and smaller kinda |
| 782s | player to celebrations |
| 786s | one thing |
| 788s | these currently don't have icons yet but |
| 793s | they do they're being plugged in at the |
| 795s | moment yeah I should correct that yeah |
| 797s | they're underway they do have icons |
| 799s | they're just not completely |
| 805s | so there's a couple of them and they |
| 807s | look a little bit like curtain-ish we'll |
| 810s | need the canal |
| 813s | are you sad there we go |
| 817s | um as you can see we're still you know |
| 819s | should be should be obviously stated |
| 821s | that this is a developed build we are |
| 823s | working on things heavily |
| 825s | um |
| 826s | so things are a little bit less working |
| 828s | than |
| 831s | um optimal and |
| 834s | you're not representing the the actual |
| 836s | complete state of it |
| 837s | um as we've done some pretty significant |
| 840s | system upgrades which has been |
| 842s | critical in terms of continued |
| 844s | development in terms of the interactions |
| 847s | it's allowed us to do things like |
| 848s | optimizations with the entity changes |
| 851s | and how you're interacting with crops |
| 853s | and plants and World objects |
| 865s | Do you want to build |
| 867s | as I'm flying around here are you you're |
| 869s | in here somewhere having |
| 871s | you're up to something around here |
| 874s | I have a feeling well I'm not I'm not |
| 877s | but I should be you should be uh |
| 882s | I think you can pop out the rest of the |
| 885s | buntings and kind of |
| 887s | can I drop that out or |
| 889s | um we also have |
| 890s | did those get plugged in yet I think |
| 892s | they got |
| 893s | we do give them to and we can take a |
| 896s | look at the human blocks |
| 900s | uh you know |
| 902s | that's called |
| 909s | and we have |
| 913s | I believe some of these starting to get |
| 916s | their accurate |
| 919s | um |
| 920s | accurate textures |
| 926s | which are more |
| 929s | you should be getting |
| 931s | there we go |
| 940s | do we have |
| 944s | these are now getting a bit more to |
| 946s | their polished finalized texture shapes |
| 949s | um in terms of human blocks |
| 951s | and I believe we have them plugged in |
| 953s | for the software team blocks |
| 957s | which Toby I believe that being the case |
| 961s | or you know what it is I was not looking |
| 963s | at your screen sorry |
| 966s | dark blocks yes |
| 969s | yeah I believe the softwood and the |
| 971s | hardwood should be done now |
| 974s | yeah there's one little bug with the |
| 975s | soft wooden hardwood but the |
| 978s | they should be all done |
| 981s | oh |
| 982s | and and on that subject our interaction |
| 984s | well we weren't really or I wasn't |
| 987s | really gonna go into it too much |
| 989s | but I do kind of want to give people a |
| 992s | bit of insight into this and something |
| 994s | that we would really appreciate some |
| 997s | feedback on once we go into and |
| 999s | not just feedback but |
| 1002s | General |
| 1003s | people's opinions and experiences when |
| 1006s | they're when they do test out the um |
| 1009s | to play this build as we rework the |
| 1012s | algorithm for how blocks are being |
| 1014s | detected when you're trying to build and |
| 1015s | place them so this is something that's |
| 1017s | still highly experimental and |
| 1020s | where it |
| 1022s | previously you kind of |
| 1025s | it got kind of unpredictive where if you |
| 1028s | wanted to build something |
| 1032s | flying just to give that proper way so |
| 1035s | when you were trying to build something |
| 1036s | forward |
| 1037s | you had to be in point of view |
| 1041s | or a point placement |
| 1043s | and then it was kind of unpredictable to |
| 1047s | which direction you were placing your |
| 1049s | blocks |
| 1050s | but still a little bit |
| 1052s | some overlapping and some fine tuning on |
| 1054s | it but essentially now |
| 1056s | the block is properly allocated into |
| 1058s | different grids |
| 1060s | and depending on where your |
| 1062s | where you're pointing or where your |
| 1064s | interaction cursor is kind of heading |
| 1067s | towards is where you're placing |
| 1068s | different blocks so this allows you to |
| 1070s | do something like placing diagonally |
| 1071s | which you haven't been able to do before |
| 1074s | and I'm hoping that this is something |
| 1076s | that will help |
| 1078s | increase the quality of life a little |
| 1079s | bit about for people especially that |
| 1081s | enjoys building and |
| 1084s | this makes it a lot easier to kind of |
| 1087s | adjust and |
| 1088s | place in a Precision manner |
| 1091s | unless it's it it's still got some like |
| 1095s | issues and weird edge cases but this is |
| 1097s | like this this would be my favorite |
| 1099s | feature that goes into 10 almost |
| 1101s | get this um if we get this all working |
| 1104s | and Polished up it's like there's been |
| 1107s | so many times like it's it's difficult |
| 1109s | to place things like ramps and |
| 1112s | um like yeah basically any of those sort |
| 1113s | of pieces this is way more predictive so |
| 1119s | I hope we can get it all polished up |
| 1121s | time for Tim yeah and I think I think |
| 1124s | it's it's an it's an unsuspected little |
| 1127s | nice feature that people are gonna |
| 1129s | enjoy |
| 1131s | um as I said it is more predictive and |
| 1133s | it's also easier for us to do changes |
| 1135s | too and make sure that we eliminate more |
| 1138s | of these edge cases where they do have |
| 1140s | kind of like a weird overlap when you go |
| 1142s | from a left block to right block and |
| 1144s | then the first initial pass still kind |
| 1146s | of puts you on the left side which isn't |
| 1147s | really intended so |
| 1149s | there's still a couple of things that |
| 1150s | are leaving out but |
| 1152s | pretty confident that we'll be able to |
| 1154s | to get most of these |
| 1156s | all this stuff and then |
| 1158s | ironed out during the play test as |
| 1160s | people |
| 1161s | people have different opinions and and |
| 1163s | hopefully hopefully provide those |
| 1165s | opinions to us |
| 1167s | um |
| 1167s | so we can work on it and then gonna |
| 1170s | improve everyone's |
| 1172s | everyone's situation |
| 1175s | now |
| 1176s | uh we have some some cool things that |
| 1180s | we're planning on and working around |
| 1182s | for post 10. so this is you know a big |
| 1186s | disclaimer of this is things that you'll |
| 1188s | likely not see in 10 but more towards |
| 1192s | a follow-up sequential update for like |
| 1194s | 10.1 10.2 or |
| 1197s | um |
| 1198s | depending a little bit on on you know |
| 1202s | um parts around it either it be certain |
| 1206s | food as or certain food items that needs |
| 1208s | to be generated or |
| 1210s | just general technical things that might |
| 1212s | come up |
| 1213s | um |
| 1215s | and one of them is |
| 1218s | the canary |
| 1223s | um is that is that I think it should be |
| 1225s | in or is that not |
| 1227s | did I not add that to detectory Prior do |
| 1229s | I need to do I need to do a prefab thing |
| 1231s | for it |
| 1234s | yeah I do well |
| 1238s | while |
| 1239s | drag it in |
| 1241s | yeah I can I can drag it in but I need |
| 1243s | to |
| 1244s | you go out of go out of full screen |
| 1247s | let's do |
| 1249s | let's fetch it |
| 1251s | [Music] |
| 1255s | if it's in here wasn't it called Canary |
| 1257s | or is it called something completely |
| 1259s | different |
| 1260s | we can grab the uh we can grab the |
| 1262s | smoker because that is also part of that |
| 1265s | now Improvement into cooking and |
| 1268s | it'll be a bit of a continued subject |
| 1271s | here on the stream as well |
| 1272s | food is a super important part of Eco |
| 1274s | and |
| 1276s | the production of it the collection of |
| 1279s | and the supply chain along the way and |
| 1282s | as well as crafting stations and |
| 1283s | interactions for them |
| 1285s | so a few things that we felt were |
| 1287s | missing out is one kind of a way to |
| 1289s | further improve storage |
| 1292s | as well as kind of treatment and and |
| 1295s | longevity of produce which Humanity has |
| 1300s | solved by introducing a cool feature for |
| 1304s | canning Goods which everyone is probably |
| 1307s | familiar with |
| 1308s | and |
| 1310s | smoking is the other part of it where |
| 1313s | you salt or smoke to kind of drain |
| 1316s | moisture out of out of meat in |
| 1319s | particular |
| 1321s | you make it last longer |
| 1323s | and |
| 1325s | if it wants to play nice here does it |
| 1327s | want to play nice |
| 1329s | wrapped into the scene View |
| 1333s | I gotcha I got your canner as well |
| 1336s | oh yeah |
| 1337s | canning assembly so that's called that's |
| 1339s | what it's called so yeah since I didn't |
| 1342s | have this added to the tech tree we |
| 1343s | can't see the fancy animations for it |
| 1345s | right now but that's that's my bad it |
| 1347s | does have a little smokiness here to it |
| 1350s | so this will be one of the sort of |
| 1353s | future upcoming things that we want to |
| 1355s | add into and get some new some new Foods |
| 1359s | um some new recipes some cool ways to |
| 1361s | kind of make food that might last longer |
| 1363s | than your average cooked meal |
| 1366s | uh has tons of potential |
| 1369s | uh |
| 1371s | and I'll go into full screen here in a |
| 1373s | second |
| 1375s | and then we've got |
| 1377s | this bad boy as well |
| 1380s | let's just grab this one and this is |
| 1383s | yeah I can actually Place one down |
| 1386s | oh it was it it was in there somewhere |
| 1389s | yeah |
| 1390s | you've just called canning assembly |
| 1393s | uh it's got all the animations running |
| 1395s | as well some really nice animations |
| 1397s | that's what I did on this yeah could |
| 1399s | this machine |
| 1401s | yeah so this is our second Corner second |
| 1404s | width I can kind of machine that will |
| 1406s | allow you to do this so we have a couple |
| 1408s | of ideas here where |
| 1411s | there is a generic type |
| 1413s | input for say canned vegetables or |
| 1416s | canned fruit and then you would have the |
| 1419s | tagged usage for it which means you |
| 1421s | could have a multiple variations now |
| 1424s | this is this animation is and and |
| 1426s | Cannery is kind of specific to fish |
| 1429s | um but this will probably be something |
| 1431s | that we cannot weak with with the |
| 1432s | animations and having different kind of |
| 1433s | produce |
| 1435s | um |
| 1436s | so this will produce thin cans of goods |
| 1441s | and |
| 1442s | I'm gonna check in here and |
| 1445s | right now it doesn't have any recipes or |
| 1447s | anything set up so |
| 1449s | pretty pretty blank pretty sad but |
| 1452s | once it gets in and once it gets going I |
| 1455s | think everyone's gonna appreciate some |
| 1457s | some new ways to kind of sustain |
| 1459s | food and storage in a more |
| 1462s | interactive way |
| 1464s | and offer Alternatives in terms of |
| 1466s | stores being able to sell different |
| 1469s | different types of produce where |
| 1474s | fresh food versus canned food is going |
| 1475s | to be kind of susceptible to |
| 1479s | different potential changes |
| 1482s | and then we have |
| 1485s | so on we've got one more that kind of or |
| 1490s | two more objects that |
| 1492s | some servers have seen usage for that |
| 1496s | they might have toggled them on one of |
| 1498s | them is a follow-up on the camera |
| 1500s | discussion and Camera debate now we were |
| 1503s | we were having this old timey camera |
| 1507s | um that would be representative to the |
| 1510s | mid stages of the game |
| 1514s | and you have this handheld semi-digital |
| 1517s | camera that leads into |
| 1521s | leads into kind of Modern Age it allows |
| 1524s | Zoom it allowed you know some some |
| 1525s | different kind of filtrations and |
| 1527s | options Flash and then fancy things that |
| 1530s | you can toggle and cannot play around |
| 1532s | with but we were discussioning the |
| 1534s | possibility of adding some way to kind |
| 1537s | of track history |
| 1538s | and take pictures early game from like |
| 1542s | you know crude stage their own age into |
| 1545s | early Iron Age where |
| 1547s | you don't have access to the mechanical |
| 1549s | devices or you don't have access to high |
| 1550s | technology and cameras not really |
| 1553s | something that you kind of cook up with |
| 1554s | two sticks and |
| 1556s | in our Stone and just slap together |
| 1559s | so we were discussing |
| 1561s | how we wanted to introduce something |
| 1563s | that would allow you to take images |
| 1567s | without that fancy technology and one of |
| 1569s | the things that kind of cropped up was |
| 1570s | the whole idea with paintings |
| 1573s | or you know painting paintings |
| 1575s | and the immediate concern when it comes |
| 1579s | to |
| 1580s | on my end from a design perspective is I |
| 1583s | also need to take into consideration |
| 1586s | General |
| 1587s | player |
| 1591s | security but also |
| 1594s | um |
| 1595s | the whole kind of controversy with |
| 1597s | profanity and and the internet as a |
| 1599s | whole where we've seen some crazy things |
| 1602s | in other games that allow you to do free |
| 1603s | painting like |
| 1605s | Arc and rust and and those types of |
| 1608s | games where you have on you you |
| 1610s | basically get feather canvas and you can |
| 1612s | just draw on it like |
| 1613s | Ms paint |
| 1615s | yet we still wanted to |
| 1618s | capture scenery and capture objects and |
| 1621s | be able to do that |
| 1623s | early on so we were cooking up was |
| 1628s | uh |
| 1630s | having something like this |
| 1634s | ask the camera tool object so you would |
| 1637s | interact with an easel |
| 1639s | and you would get |
| 1641s | you would have this kind of stationary |
| 1644s | position |
| 1645s | where you take a framed image similar to |
| 1648s | how you interact with the camera |
| 1650s | but instead of giving you an actual |
| 1652s | photograph you would get a stylized |
| 1656s | rendition of the world |
| 1658s | so instead of being in this perfect |
| 1659s | picture frame you would have you know |
| 1662s | something that looks like the picture |
| 1664s | but ran through |
| 1667s | um |
| 1671s | a conversion to kind of look like a |
| 1672s | realistic painting or you know it would |
| 1674s | turn into an oil painting |
| 1677s | yeah we could maybe have different |
| 1679s | filters for different different paint |
| 1680s | Styles and I also really liked Yo's idea |
| 1683s | of the instead of the camera UI you kind |
| 1685s | of like putting your fingers up like |
| 1687s | this to |
| 1689s | to do the frame or using your thumb or |
| 1692s | something like that |
| 1693s | yeah |
| 1694s | that'd be cool |
| 1697s | um so that's kind of where our where our |
| 1699s | thoughts are on the camera and and I |
| 1701s | think |
| 1702s | it could potentially have a lot of |
| 1705s | a lot of extra things and there was kind |
| 1707s | of this Novella novelty idea of you know |
| 1710s | you could take these a bunch of images |
| 1712s | on your town or on your bottle |
| 1713s | settlement and you would have these made |
| 1716s | with the easel and you can kind of see |
| 1718s | the transition when you're taking images |
| 1720s | between the old-timey camera and then |
| 1722s | the modern one then you can see this |
| 1724s | rural landscape on the initial photos |
| 1727s | and then it kind of has time and then |
| 1729s | technology progresses you get these |
| 1731s | budding Industries and and advanced |
| 1733s | complexes kind of sprung in sprung up |
| 1735s | around it |
| 1737s | that doesn't that doesn't limit you in |
| 1739s | being able to use these throughout the |
| 1740s | entire thing and take these amazing |
| 1743s | oil painting like things of |
| 1745s | your modern buildings which could look |
| 1747s | really cool |
| 1752s | uh we have one more object that is that |
| 1755s | is |
| 1756s | model and asset wise is done you've seen |
| 1760s | the printing press |
| 1762s | for people that miss the user |
| 1766s | uh were people that missed the um the |
| 1769s | user texture stream or haven't seen it |
| 1772s | this has been kind of hidden in the |
| 1774s | files for a while |
| 1776s | but this is your implementation and |
| 1779s | usage for the new user texture and |
| 1782s | photography kind of copy system |
| 1785s | where |
| 1787s | um |
| 1788s | UI still not updated on my Branch here |
| 1790s | but |
| 1791s | essentially you would grab a texture on |
| 1793s | your PC and you can print it out and |
| 1795s | then that turns into an object so that's |
| 1798s | something that we wanted to expand on |
| 1801s | now we have this amazing |
| 1803s | amazing assets and you know kind of |
| 1806s | boiling into the whole improving and |
| 1808s | adding things to |
| 1810s | paper Milling as a profession |
| 1813s | and we have |
| 1816s | this bad boy here |
| 1819s | I believe it's called paper machine name |
| 1821s | pending |
| 1824s | so this is |
| 1827s | your later stages paper production |
| 1832s | and something that |
| 1835s | I I have personally been wanting to kind |
| 1837s | of put a little bit of attention to for |
| 1839s | a while |
| 1841s | um with paper Milling being kind of a |
| 1843s | tricky profession because |
| 1845s | to not make it kind of a one trick |
| 1847s | Wonder profession |
| 1849s | we have been looking at ways to kind of |
| 1851s | introduce paper as a resource but also |
| 1854s | different types and interactions that |
| 1856s | you can do |
| 1857s | with paper |
| 1859s | and one thing that immediately kind of |
| 1862s | sprung into our minds I think in in one |
| 1865s | way or another is the idea of |
| 1869s | newspapers mail and other kind of |
| 1872s | associated areas where you would use |
| 1874s | paper |
| 1875s | there's also been speculation about |
| 1877s | adding paper as kind of a resource for |
| 1879s | civics but that one is still |
| 1882s | being kind of discussed internally so |
| 1885s | don't really have a lot to kind of go in |
| 1887s | on depth on that one |
| 1890s | but newspapers I started to draft the |
| 1894s | design for |
| 1895s | and |
| 1896s | I think I'm quite happy with it |
| 1899s | um |
| 1900s | where the general idea is to allow users |
| 1905s | to use the printing press |
| 1907s | create a kind of a template for |
| 1911s | um a visualization or a stylization of |
| 1914s | how you want things to be posted in like |
| 1916s | where you have |
| 1918s | um |
| 1920s | paper or text formats and then you have |
| 1922s | images and then you can kind of finalize |
| 1925s | things and I'm not sure how much |
| 1927s | how much I can get shoot out from |
| 1930s | Dennis if I go in and then |
| 1932s | fill some of that off |
| 1936s | got that one |
| 1939s | this is kind of sneak sneak preview here |
| 1944s | um |
| 1944s | they do have a couple of drafts for |
| 1950s | uh |
| 1953s | here we go |
| 1955s | so this would be something that |
| 1958s | as a as a very very whip |
| 1962s | um |
| 1963s | way of showing off and kind of mock-up |
| 1965s | UI where |
| 1967s | you know fiddling around with the |
| 1967s | elements and then where we want to do it |
| 1969s | before we actually make |
| 1971s | an in-game rendition of a UI example |
| 1975s | so we have these kind of three four |
| 1977s | iterations of how a UI kind of gets |
| 1979s | cooked up and |
| 1981s | combined with the features we want to be |
| 1983s | doing |
| 1984s | so in this case you would you would |
| 1987s | select or drag kind of things around or |
| 1989s | place them however you want these to be |
| 1991s | depicted and once you have these kind of |
| 1994s | printed out you would create a template |
| 1996s | the template is what you would use to |
| 2000s | feed into the pin the printer press |
| 2003s | and that would generate newspapers |
| 2006s | and these newspapers could then be used |
| 2008s | to distribute through new stands and be |
| 2012s | broadcasted as notifications to players |
| 2015s | um |
| 2017s | and there was we just need to add |
| 2018s | bicycles so we can do paper routes yeah |
| 2020s | yeah I think that could be quite fun |
| 2023s | um |
| 2023s | but no so there was there was two kind |
| 2025s | of underlying thoughts here or three in |
| 2028s | general one of them being we want paper |
| 2030s | Milling to kind of be more ingrained |
| 2033s | into the industrial sprawl and |
| 2035s | civilization but also generate the |
| 2037s | garbage |
| 2038s | um but at the same time we also want we |
| 2041s | have been wanting for quite a |
| 2043s | significant time being allow players to |
| 2046s | be more Community communicative while |
| 2050s | offline |
| 2051s | both from an administrative point on the |
| 2055s | server but also between users |
| 2058s | and |
| 2060s | one of the ideas there was that you |
| 2062s | would have this |
| 2064s | newspaper and you would deliver it to a |
| 2067s | settlement or a town |
| 2069s | and this would then be broadcasted |
| 2071s | through another notification similar to |
| 2074s | this one |
| 2076s | and then show up here and you can click |
| 2077s | read the newspaper that is in you know |
| 2080s | the newspapers that are in the region |
| 2085s | uh just giving giving a bit more |
| 2089s | to do in general just outside of buying |
| 2092s | iron work progress build more machines |
| 2094s | progress and can add more into the |
| 2098s | cultural depth and |
| 2100s | change it or interchange |
| 2103s | um |
| 2104s | sorry words |
| 2108s | I am I think as well like we talked |
| 2111s | about it a little bit with the |
| 2112s | photography stream but like |
| 2115s | you could kind of have these journalists |
| 2117s | popping up that are going out and |
| 2118s | getting stories and taking photos and |
| 2120s | writing things up |
| 2123s | um you have like a |
| 2124s | a huge like newspaper that's buying |
| 2127s | these stories from all different people |
| 2128s | you kind of like if you get a really |
| 2130s | cool picture of something you can sell |
| 2131s | it to the paper |
| 2133s | so it's there's some interesting |
| 2134s | gameplay opportunities there as well |
| 2137s | yeah and also you would have urinalists |
| 2140s | being able to sell papers or you know |
| 2143s | make these Publications or have have the |
| 2146s | players post ads in them or |
| 2149s | yeah discounted food at my store |
| 2152s | only for today and then that article is |
| 2155s | up for 24 hours and then once it the |
| 2157s | case you know you don't have to worry |
| 2158s | about |
| 2159s | changing out that article because the |
| 2161s | newspapers kind of |
| 2163s | gone through the gone through the |
| 2165s | process and gotten dismantled because |
| 2166s | it's it ran out or its time ran out |
| 2170s | so there's a lot of a lot of |
| 2172s | possibilities here that we're wanting to |
| 2174s | explore and |
| 2176s | look into |
| 2178s | and |
| 2181s | we have |
| 2184s | I think one more thing |
| 2186s | that is that is kind of a huge thing |
| 2191s | um |
| 2193s | we were I've teased about it a little |
| 2195s | bit in in |
| 2196s | and about let me just |
| 2200s | find that thing |
| 2202s | and we got this one and then you |
| 2204s | probably saw that title up there |
| 2206s | so something that |
| 2209s | is quite far out but |
| 2213s | kind of starting to get its underlaying |
| 2216s | design |
| 2217s | ready to go now anything in here is |
| 2222s | really preliminary and and should be |
| 2225s | taken with a truckload of salt |
| 2228s | possibly |
| 2230s | but one profession tree as well that's |
| 2233s | been kind of hanging out and and been |
| 2235s | very bland is the whole hunting section |
| 2238s | and The Butchery |
| 2240s | where we feel that it's a vital |
| 2243s | essential part of the food industry |
| 2246s | as well as producing a lot of waste due |
| 2248s | to biomaterials and |
| 2250s | processing methods but also quite |
| 2252s | heavily involved into farming and why |
| 2255s | crop growth and and fertilizing and all |
| 2258s | of those kind of intertwining Arts |
| 2262s | deserves quite a significant amount of |
| 2265s | attention and something that we want to |
| 2268s | expand on |
| 2270s | so I'm really looking forward to keep |
| 2273s | working on this and keep kind of |
| 2275s | iterating on it until I'm happy with it |
| 2277s | and we can start |
| 2279s | working on it and implementing it in |
| 2281s | game and I'm hoping that a lot of |
| 2283s | players are |
| 2285s | as stoked as I am for it |
| 2289s | um this this whole hunting but true |
| 2292s | thing is also leading into something |
| 2294s | that |
| 2295s | has been promised for for a long time |
| 2297s | and still not ready |
| 2299s | for quite a bit yet but |
| 2303s | um |
| 2304s | looking forward to kind of dig into it |
| 2306s | and that is animal husbandry as a whole |
| 2309s | so hunting Hunter will be renamed into |
| 2313s | animal husbandry and that will kind of |
| 2316s | umbrella |
| 2317s | all the different parts of it |
| 2320s | so all of these names kinda |
| 2324s | patent pending |
| 2326s | um |
| 2328s | where The Butchery part kind of takes |
| 2329s | care of all the different parts of the |
| 2332s | animals |
| 2333s | and |
| 2335s | open that up a little bit |
| 2339s | pork do I see do I see pork on there I I |
| 2343s | don't know what you're talking about |
| 2348s | oh sorry no no pork there okay cool |
| 2351s | [Laughter] |
| 2354s | no there's there's a couple of |
| 2356s | a couple of animals that we're looking |
| 2358s | into adding expanding the ecosystem |
| 2360s | we've done some changes to plants and |
| 2364s | its spread rate |
| 2366s | um |
| 2367s | Butchery as a whole I think I think |
| 2369s | everyone is |
| 2371s | it works as is right now but we feel |
| 2373s | that it is a part where it can be so |
| 2376s | much more |
| 2377s | and it deserves to be so much more |
| 2379s | because it is an essential transition in |
| 2382s | between |
| 2384s | when you went from wild animals to wild |
| 2387s | animals being Kano |
| 2389s | either gets hunted down to low |
| 2394s | population levels or simply because you |
| 2397s | need a more reliable stable production |
| 2401s | and that is where |
| 2403s | domestication kind of comes in where |
| 2406s | Humanity decided that you know we don't |
| 2409s | want to run around in the forest to hunt |
| 2410s | things we want it to be reliably |
| 2412s | available |
| 2414s | um throughout the year or |
| 2416s | for things like milk and wool production |
| 2419s | or eggs where |
| 2421s | it was a necessary survival path for a |
| 2424s | lot of regions |
| 2426s | and this is kind of growing this is |
| 2430s | probably going to be twice twice in |
| 2432s | scale in terms of this |
| 2434s | this the flow chart where I'm gonna go |
| 2436s | into each of these steps what do you |
| 2439s | want |
| 2441s | um starting from the top here you would |
| 2442s | go into the different animal types |
| 2445s | what are they producing do they have |
| 2448s | um waste and how do you manage the waste |
| 2452s | the different types of products how do |
| 2454s | those how does those products link into |
| 2456s | Butchery |
| 2458s | um |
| 2459s | maintaining these animals are they Wild |
| 2461s | free roaming |
| 2463s | are you catching them are you taming |
| 2465s | them are you using bait rope there's a |
| 2467s | lot of a lot of fine Parts here |
| 2470s | that will go through on a dedicated |
| 2474s | stream in the future once we and I |
| 2477s | really breaking this up a little bit |
| 2479s | more but |
| 2481s | hopefully serves us enough of a |
| 2483s | distraction from |
| 2485s | from missing the settlement today |
| 2489s | yeah giving people a little bit to kind |
| 2492s | of think about what what we have in |
| 2494s | store in future for Eco as we'll keep |
| 2496s | developing it |
| 2498s | you know one just because we're done |
| 2500s | with 10.0 and we got boats in and we got |
| 2502s | battlements in we're not done not by a |
| 2504s | long shot |
| 2506s | um looking forward to adding all these |
| 2508s | new all these new cool improvements and |
| 2511s | just |
| 2512s | extra things to the game that makes it |
| 2514s | more interactive and |
| 2517s | um |
| 2518s | yeah it's gonna be good to spend a bit |
| 2521s | of time looking at the animals because |
| 2522s | like |
| 2523s | obviously they've got a few issues at |
| 2525s | the moment that need polishing up so to |
| 2527s | be able to dedicate that time get get |
| 2530s | the ones that are in polished up but |
| 2531s | then also adding new ones we've got a |
| 2534s | couple in the in the works as well that |
| 2535s | are pretty much done but we're just |
| 2538s | holding off to putting them in until we |
| 2540s | kind of get that chance to polish it all |
| 2543s | yeah um but yeah this would be a fun one |
| 2545s | to work on |
| 2547s | yes Utopia is a lot of interesting stuff |
| 2549s | I hope he's really looking forward to it |
| 2550s | it has been |
| 2552s | it's been one thing to to really dig |
| 2553s | into animals and everything animal for a |
| 2555s | time here |
| 2557s | and so is our animated um he's like |
| 2561s | he's he's excited but there's a lot of |
| 2564s | work to do for animating those as |
| 2566s | animals but he definitely wants them |
| 2567s | fixed so |
| 2569s | yeah so on on post settlements you'll |
| 2573s | you'll likely see some animal fixes and |
| 2575s | some ecosystem focus and that kind of |
| 2577s | boils into |
| 2580s | polish off the crafting UI some changes |
| 2583s | garbage pollution because pollution is |
| 2585s | kind of the trifecta tying these things |
| 2587s | together where you're crafting things it |
| 2590s | creates waste waste to produces |
| 2592s | pollution pollution is treated somehow |
| 2595s | to be able to sustain that production |
| 2597s | you're gonna need food food kind of |
| 2599s | boils into |
| 2600s | either Gathering farming expanding crops |
| 2604s | dealing with animals |
| 2607s | and animal husbandry kind of gives you |
| 2611s | that hour of not having to constantly |
| 2614s | run out and Hunt things but to be able |
| 2616s | to just |
| 2618s | um make bigger Farm fields to feed these |
| 2621s | animals to then allow you to kind of |
| 2624s | have |
| 2625s | localized production for things like |
| 2627s | meat furball that has so far in Eco |
| 2630s | always been kind of dependent on someone |
| 2632s | running around and hunting these |
| 2634s | um so that'll be a very exciting New |
| 2636s | Branch to kind of dig into |
| 2639s | and eggs and eggs |
| 2642s | we've got we've got turkeys here |
| 2646s | we might have some other animals as well |
| 2650s | um |
| 2651s | I'm hoping this kind of gives everyone |
| 2654s | a bit of a vision into the future where |
| 2657s | we're looking for in terms of |
| 2659s | mechanics improvements and and |
| 2664s | other cool things |
| 2666s | yeah there's a couple of comments there |
| 2668s | on that this like Ahmed Stone saying so |
| 2671s | long as Hunters don't become obsolete oh |
| 2673s | yeah |
| 2674s | um |
| 2675s | I can yeah we've got like hunting |
| 2679s | um some food in general will with |
| 2682s | Butchery as as people probably saw here |
| 2684s | we're we we have intention to kind of |
| 2687s | break up the different meat varieties |
| 2689s | so you'll have a separation for |
| 2692s | um Bisons and beef based animals versus |
| 2695s | uh birds and and like turkeys and |
| 2698s | whatnot which would be poultry |
| 2700s | um |
| 2701s | and then you had different types of wild |
| 2703s | Meats which would be Venison and |
| 2707s | um I think alligators would probably be |
| 2709s | something that were or might not allow |
| 2711s | Ranchers |
| 2713s | uh although we do we we do have some |
| 2715s | some Gator Farms |
| 2718s | um |
| 2720s | but I think that's that's going to come |
| 2722s | down to uh the game balance decision |
| 2724s | more than |
| 2726s | um a general design or an ability to do |
| 2729s | so |
| 2730s | um just to keep that relevance of |
| 2732s | hunting being a thing |
| 2734s | um and Hunter |
| 2737s | expanding into be able to play straps |
| 2740s | similar to |
| 2741s | the fish traps |
| 2743s | um to be able to hunt |
| 2746s | um I know it's kind of part passively |
| 2748s | over time as well like the fish traps |
| 2750s | but in a more predictive manner |
| 2752s | yeah |
| 2754s | um |
| 2756s | so there's there's some things coming |
| 2758s | there as well but this |
| 2760s | this whole tribe tripod between The |
| 2763s | Butchery Rancher and hunting it will |
| 2765s | probably be bundled into one like huge |
| 2768s | animal husbandry update eventually |
| 2773s | um so I'm hoping hoping people look |
| 2774s | forward to that |
| 2775s | um gonna be fun working on it and it's |
| 2778s | gonna be amazing to see what crazy |
| 2780s | things people come up with once it's out |
| 2784s | uh yeah I think |
| 2788s | I think we'll probably wrap it up there |
| 2790s | unless unless you have something Toby |
| 2794s | nah I think it's a good just been |
| 2796s | watching your screen for a bit so |
| 2798s | yeah coming up to |
| 2800s | coming up to an hour here and I think |
| 2803s | I think it's probably a good time to cut |
| 2804s | it out |
| 2805s | um |
| 2806s | and hopefully we'll have the settlement |
| 2808s | stream next week |
| 2811s | um |
| 2813s | yeah |
| 2814s | I think I think that's it |
| 2816s | um thank you everyone for watching |
| 2819s | and yeah hope to see everyone next |
| 2822s | Friday |
| 2823s | and |
| 2829s | goodbye goodbye |
