| 0s | to celebrate and child's most recent |
|---|---|
| 2s | update our team hosted an askme anything |
| 5s | session on Reddit here is a somewhat of |
| 7s | a short |
| 10s | recap are there any plans for angled |
| 12s | voxel and other varied blocks to let |
| 14s | player build more intricate basis well |
| 17s | this can be tricky from the technical |
| 19s | side of things and also the perspective |
| 21s | of the user interface but we do like the |
| 23s | idea our goal is to keep improving our |
| 25s | building system with time so that our |
| 26s | players can create even crazier builds |
| 28s | so I promise we'll discuss this more in |
| 30s | the future |
| 32s | will we be able to rotate build props in |
| 34s | full 3d eventually this isn't currently |
| 37s | planned because of the complexity of the |
| 38s | controls and interface elements involved |
| 40s | but we will think about it a big part of |
| 42s | the challenge with this is considering |
| 44s | all the different languages and layouts |
| 45s | our players use while also accounting |
| 47s | for both keyboards and controller this |
| 49s | can make it difficult to account for |
| 51s | every kind of player especially when in |
| 52s | shed has so many complex features and |
| 54s | functions that we have to keep track |
| 56s | [Music] |
| 57s | of can we expect a rework of this kill |
| 60s | acheve for the Mele side it feels like |
| 62s | it needs some love class balancing is |
| 64s | something we're always working on |
| 66s | including improvements to the combat |
| 67s | systems and melee builds there's no |
| 69s | current ETA on the changes but I promise |
| 71s | we're not forgetting about you can |
| 73s | multishop please affect all arrows |
| 76s | whenever multishot triggers it also |
| 78s | consumes extra arrows in the process so |
| 80s | because of this we remove special arrows |
| 82s | from the multi-shot pool to stop players |
| 84s | from losing them too quickly but in the |
| 86s | future we do plan to add more skills to |
| 88s | multi-shot that bring those special |
| 89s | arrows back |
| 91s | are there any plans to increase the max |
| 93s | level and make the skill tree larger |
| 95s | absolutely the skill tree and level cap |
| 97s | will expand with time as the game |
| 99s | continues to grow and expand with future |
| 101s | updates your flame borne will |
| 103s | [Music] |
| 104s | too why did you decide a vxo base world |
| 107s | would work with the game it's honestly |
| 109s | the main selling point for me for us the |
| 112s | creative aspect of building a base was |
| 114s | essential for our game as well as |
| 115s | allowing players a lot of freedom to |
| 117s | explore the world so it was important |
| 119s | from the beginning to create a game on |
| 120s | the technical Foundation of our voxal |
| 122s | engine luckily our team already had a |
| 124s | lot of experience working on our last |
| 125s | game portal nights which was also voxal |
| 130s | based other than building there's very |
| 132s | little to do after completing all the |
| 134s | quests how do you plan to address |
| 136s | replayability first off I need to |
| 138s | preface this with a big caveat most of |
| 140s | the things I'm talking about are plans |
| 141s | for the future that means end of Early |
| 143s | Access or later but having said that |
| 145s | here are some of the ideas we've been |
| 146s | toying with world events instance |
| 148s | dungeons server Gamay play settings |
| 151s | adding more biomes and expanding the |
| 152s | world as well as base sharing and user |
| 154s | generated content heavy plan an end game |
| 157s | where we get a shroud free world full of |
| 159s | life again I'd really love to reach a |
| 161s | stage where the Shroud doesn't come back |
| 163s | and my mission is accomplished |
| 165s | replayability is a big priority for us |
| 167s | so currently we don't plan on having a |
| 169s | permanent end State for the game world |
| 171s | but on the other hand we see that a lot |
| 172s | of players have been having fun |
| 174s | rebuilding the ruins of Ember bille so |
| 176s | that's something we have been thinking |
| 177s | about for the future |
| 182s | I would love to see some base invasions |
| 183s | having to build a defensible bases adds |
| 186s | sense of urgency and danger which would |
| 187s | be |
| 188s | motivating this suggestion is very |
| 190s | popular but it is challenging to design |
| 192s | in a game like ined we need to find a |
| 194s | way to make it fun and interesting |
| 196s | without making it too frustrating or |
| 198s | easy to cheese we like the idea but we |
| 200s | do need to think more about it do you |
| 202s | have any plans for creative mode for |
| 204s | free building also thoughts on free |
| 206s | camera longer term we can imagine adding |
| 208s | an actual creative mode like we did in |
| 209s | Port |
| 210s | but it's not currently on our road map |
| 212s | nobody's asking for free cam harder than |
| 214s | our video producer who makes these |
| 215s | videos so it's a maybe what's your |
| 219s | stance on modding and in Tred in the |
| 221s | future we love to see players already |
| 223s | investing so much effort to create mods |
| 225s | for a game but because and shrouded is |
| 226s | built on a custom engine it would be a |
| 228s | big undertaking to implement full custom |
| 230s | mod support at this time at the current |
| 232s | stage of development our main priority |
| 233s | is on implementing features within the |
| 235s | game itself to Foster player creativity |
| 237s | rather than expecting players to deal |
| 239s | with the effort of creating installing |
| 241s | mods are there any plans for a looking |
| 243s | for group feature or a Lobby or a chat |
| 245s | to find groups there's a lot of other |
| 247s | multiplayer systems we should probably |
| 249s | focus on first but you can always stop |
| 251s | by our Discord server to find others to |
| 253s | join we'll consider adding more options |
| 254s | in the |
| 255s | [Music] |
| 257s | future after the fix to the unlimited |
| 260s | flight do you have any plans for endgame |
| 262s | flight I love just flying over the world |
| 264s | you've created we think our current |
| 266s | highest level glider is already powerful |
| 268s | and we don't want to go for unlimited |
| 270s | flate too quickly in the game's |
| 271s | development but we are thinking of other |
| 273s | fun ways to mess with your glider in the |
| 275s | future do you have any plans to add more |
| 277s | loot so we can get some variety and some |
| 279s | rewarding glot we are hoping to find |
| 281s | cool stuff in the Hol hols well the Hol |
| 284s | hols do actually feature a new and |
| 285s | unique type of weapon that we call |
| 287s | sacred these generally have a longer |
| 289s | range to better handle big groups of |
| 290s | enemies kind of like the ones you'd find |
| 292s | in Hollow |
| 296s | Halls are there any plans to add more |
| 298s | weapon archetypes such as dual wielding |
| 300s | and whatnot I would do anything to be |
| 302s | able to use the two handle Cy that some |
| 304s | enemies use in the hollow Halls |
| 306s | definitely we're always cooking up ideas |
| 308s | for new weapons and I think you'll be |
| 309s | very excited with one of the things we |
| 311s | have coming for update 2 more weapon |
| 313s | types are always on the to-do list but |
| 315s | something else is coming first and as |
| 317s | for the walking toggle it's a nice idea |
| 319s | we're going to look into |
| 322s | it can you tell us how many NPC crouches |
| 325s | will be in the game we haven't decided |
| 327s | yet on just how many there will be but |
| 328s | we can already say we have plenty of |
| 330s | ideas for different NPC roles expect |
| 332s | your bases to get a lot more crowded in |
| 334s | the |
| 335s | future what's your vision for NPCs will |
| 338s | we be able to make towns alive again and |
| 340s | assign jobs to NPCs towns folk NPCs are |
| 343s | already on the current road map we know |
| 345s | many of you are hoping to breath new |
| 346s | life into your bases and we hope to |
| 348s | improve NPC interactions more in the |
| 349s | future so stay tuned for that in a |
| 351s | future |
| 355s | update can I please get a pause for |
| 357s | single player in enshrouded there's |
| 359s | always a server running in the |
| 360s | background to simulate the game in its |
| 362s | world even when playing in single player |
| 364s | so that means that you can't really |
| 365s | pause the game properly at the moment |
| 366s | we're discussing internally to see if we |
| 368s | can potentially add that in the future |
| 370s | is there an ETA on a bloom toggle in the |
| 372s | graphic settings getting from dark to |
| 374s | light areas can be painful for some |
| 376s | sensitive eyesight we've heard you guys |
| 378s | loud and clear on this and we want to |
| 380s | improve postprocessing in general |
| 382s | because this has an impact on some of |
| 383s | our assets though especially our visual |
| 385s | effects it will take some time until we |
| 387s | have additional |
| 388s | improvements do you have an update on |
| 390s | individual Quest progression World |
| 393s | progression versus personal progression |
| 394s | is currently something we have |
| 395s | tentatively scheduled for the next |
| 397s | update we've been a bit taken aback by |
| 399s | how common this request was because we |
| 401s | hadn't realized just how many of you |
| 403s | would want to hang out in your world |
| 404s | exploring and questing even when your |
| 406s | friends weren't around to us this is a |
| 407s | testament to just how immersive and |
| 409s | shrouded can be and a fun sort of here's |
| 411s | a new thing that nobody thought would |
| 413s | actually be a problem sort of way anyway |
| 415s | we'll take care of it |
| 420s | are there going to be more missions |
| 421s | added in the near future with every new |
| 424s | update we plan to add not only new bug |
| 426s | fixes and improvements but also much |
| 428s | more content this usually but maybe not |
| 430s | always will mean new quests and more |
| 432s | things to do from time to time we will |
| 434s | add a new part to the world like a new |
| 435s | biome and this will include new enemies |
| 437s | new quests and much much |
| 442s | more what are the next steps for steam |
| 445s | deck support the steam deck version |
| 447s | still needs more optimization to earn |
| 449s | its steam deck certified sticker but |
| 451s | we're still currently working on |
| 454s | it can you speak to the thinking behind |
| 457s | turning all the water into the Shroud |
| 459s | stuff are there engine limitations with |
| 461s | liquids or is it game to play an |
| 462s | important role in the law simulating |
| 465s | liquids in a realistic manner is |
| 466s | extremely complex even in games where |
| 468s | the world is static and can't be |
| 470s | modified so if you add the possibility |
| 472s | of changing the terrain around that |
| 473s | liquid and even worse changing it in |
| 476s | real time with volumetric voxal based |
| 478s | Worlds the problem becomes order of |
| 480s | magnitude more complex and not to |
| 482s | mention more demanding and resources it |
| 484s | was clear that we wouldn't be able to |
| 485s | include water into our Early Access |
| 486s | version of enshrouded but we wanted to |
| 488s | have natural barriers within the Shroud |
| 490s | so we designed our lore around that we |
| 492s | love the idea of having water and heard |
| 493s | the call from the community so we want |
| 495s | to make it work but it's still a |
| 496s | technical research topic for us in terms |
| 498s | of lore we can imagine that regions |
| 500s | above the Shroud would leave bodies of |
| 501s | water untouched so it still makes |
| 507s | sense what we see the map slowly expand |
| 510s | in small updates during Early Access or |
| 512s | will it all become available at once |
| 514s | when the game launches fully this will |
| 516s | come over time with our major updates |
| 517s | usually in the form of new biomes or |
| 519s | extensions to existing biomes as |
| 521s | development progresses during early |
| 522s | access to manage expectations it's going |
| 524s | to take us several months before we're |
| 526s | able to release our first full map |
| 528s | expansion it would be nice if the |
| 530s | changes the player makes to the world |
| 532s | could be saved will this happen |
| 534s | currently we don't have plans to remove |
| 536s | the world resets outside of player bases |
| 538s | because saving all those changes would |
| 540s | have a significant impact on the |
| 541s | performance and stability of the game |
| 543s | and we need to be mindful of that we |
| 545s | know the map will expand northwards but |
| 547s | other of plans for vertical expansions |
| 549s | of the map I wonder if there's a chance |
| 550s | to see Sky Islands or even depths like |
| 553s | an underworld full of shroud and |
| 554s | darkness that's super dangerous but |
| 556s | rewarding and cool looking well I won't |
| 558s | give any spoilers but some of our more |
| 560s | Savvy players might have noticed that |
| 562s | our map now is over a full kilm taller |
| 564s | than it was in the closed beta |
| 567s | for reasons is is there an approximate |
| 570s | date for the next map portion release |
| 572s | our current goal is for our next major |
| 574s | update to release with a smaller sub |
| 576s | biome that will add more variety and new |
| 578s | content to an already existing one for |
| 580s | the next fullsize biome we're looking |
| 581s | further out than that probably several |
| 583s | months at least as it needs a lot more |
| 585s | content to come with |
| 586s | it we hope you guys have found this |
| 588s | recap interesting and we've answered |
| 590s | even more questions in the AMA itself |
| 592s | which you can find on our subreddit and |
| 594s | in the link in the description we hope |
| 596s | you're as excited about the future of |
| 597s | insed as we are and we can't wait to |
| 599s | show you what what's next until then |
| 601s | take care and fly safe |
