| 683s | excited for the future |
| 686s | here oh man |
| 690s | it's going to be fun so first things |
| 693s | first I'm really focused on just |
| 696s | champing this Mission I am curious for |
| 698s | those in the chat um I imagine many of |
| 701s | you have completed the main story line |
| 703s | I'm curious how many of you have gone |
| 705s | back through the game a second time and |
| 708s | then I'm also curious of those of you |
| 710s | who have completed the game from start |
| 711s | to finish on nightmare I'm really really |
| 714s | curious now it's a kind of a |
| 716s | multi-layered question so I'll ask it |
| 718s | one more time but for those of you who |
| 719s | have finished finished the campaign I |
| 721s | want to I want you to push like one in |
| 723s | chat if you've finished a campaign more |
| 726s | than once push two and if you finish the |
| 728s | campaign from Nightmare beginning to end |
| 730s | push three that's what I that's what I |
| 731s | want one two |
| 737s | three Bearded Frog says totally never |
| 739s | played this game awesome good we are we |
| 742s | are making progress in chat that's for |
| 746s | sure I'm seeing a lot of Threes oh my |
| 749s | gosh |
| 750s | absolute Legends |
| 754s | here a few times says |
| 758s | Kaza and some of the screenshots you've |
| 760s | posted seems like you've played it more |
| 762s | than I have and I got I have many hours |
| 765s | in this bad |
| 767s | boy can I choose multiple options well |
| 769s | it's really like if you've completed one |
| 772s | or if you've completed three then you've |
| 773s | already completed two and if you |
| 775s | completed two you've already completed |
| 777s | one so it's just choosing the one that's |
| 778s | relevant |
| 780s | he'll need to see his own advantage in |
| 782s | all of this I doubt you would be able |
| 784s | toy two nightmares from start to finish |
| 786s | wow other way Technically when I finish |
| 788s | this this will be my this will only be |
| 791s | my second nightmare from start to finish |
| 792s | so sorry not sorry you have you have |
| 794s | bested me on the nightmare finishes |
| 797s | maintenance my excuse is that I've had |
| 799s | to test very specific events and |
| 802s | situations in the game so I haven't been |
| 804s | able to play this |
| 807s | ISC good excuse |
| 811s | is there a problem stop talking I must |
| 813s | complete the mission scientific this is |
| 816s | a business |
| 817s | opportunity |
| 820s | please wizard Jerry has completed the |
| 823s | whole thing in six hours at level 14 |
| 827s | that's a record in last year holy crap |
| 831s | man he's just putting us to shame now oh |
| 834s | my gosh um so uh wizard Jerry do you |
| 837s | need to take this seat I can just I can |
| 839s | move I can you can just want to sit down |
| 842s | oh my gosh I've got a challenge that |
| 844s | we're going to be doing later in the |
| 845s | Stream um and it's one that I actually |
| 847s | have difficulty with um and some of you |
| 850s | are probably going to giggle a little |
| 851s | bit based on all the freaking threes I'm |
| 853s | seeing in the |
| 855s | chat to join that is a very good uh |
| 859s | speedrun there wizard Jerry um funny |
| 861s | enough I was talking with Yan who you'll |
| 863s | see later on and he's done it in about 6 |
| 866s | to8 hours but he he did he completed the |
| 868s | game at |
| 871s | I thought that was |
| 873s | impressive yeah Yan is he's one of our |
| 876s | incredible players on the team actually |
| 878s | um and ironically enough when we talked |
| 880s | with him about just who he is and what |
| 882s | he does he didn't even mention that um |
| 885s | but I think you guys will get some |
| 886s | really good insight as to what our team |
| 889s | members are like just in that interview |
| 890s | later in this show |
| 893s | today be technical assistance to your |
| 896s | coming |
| 897s | engagement he's all just dropping the |
| 899s | casual |
| 900s | 5,200 Plus |
| 906s | hours yeah that's that's probably |
| 908s | everybody let's get that's hard to say |
| 912s | to Min Colony once we've arrived it's so |
| 915s | hard to imagine the work hours put into |
| 919s | a game cuz I mean we've been working on |
| 921s | everspace 2 for freaking how many years |
| 924s | not five six five years six years yeah |
| 930s | yeah something like that so just convert |
| 932s | my work hours into has played everspace |
| 935s | 2 for that long Get Wrecked |
| 939s | uh but no that's that's seriously |
| 941s | impressive kazah that is that is |
| 944s | absolutely wild so mine don't count |
| 946s | because the game wasn't done therefore |
| 948s | those everything beforehand you know |
| 950s | that doesn't doesn't count right so but |
| 953s | that's seriously that's incredible love |
| 956s | that you are enjoying the game like |
| 957s | we've designed it in a way to be |
| 959s | replayable uh some of like most of you |
| 962s | guys really appreciate that some of you |
| 963s | guys uh struggle understanding what that |
| 965s | means and that's fine too you know |
| 967s | everybody has a different flavor um but |
| 970s | yeah for the most part it's been a lot |
| 973s | of fun seeing how you all interact with |
| 975s | the game Space and uh interact with |
| 978s | us I'm just I'm just going to go through |
| 980s | this |
| 981s | door why don't I use fast travel oh my |
| 984s | gosh I'm just I'm like using super light |
| 987s | all here I'm doing the slow methods |
| 990s | what am I doing oh |
| 994s | well when everspace one count as |
| 996s | everspace 2 Dove time I mean to a degree |
| 998s | yeah |
| 999s | absolutely |
| 1007s | absolutely oh the chatter in here is |
| 1014s | beautiful yeah I've been seeing a couple |
| 1016s | people I see a little chatter about like |
| 1018s | underleveled runs |
| 1020s | we've had some individuals just doing |
| 1022s | some wild wild things uh to just best |
| 1028s | one another um and it's been it's been |
| 1031s | really freaking cool um just in seeing |
| 1035s | how the competitive nature of |
| 1038s | restricting yourself to like I'm only |
| 1040s | using a tier one chip and only like no |
| 1045s | no legendaries no |
| 1047s | superiors uh no es no Shields or armor |
| 1051s | freaking |
| 1053s | blindfolded uh with my feet like you |
| 1056s | guys are wild it's absolutely crazy uh |
| 1060s | but it's awesome to see how you guys |
| 1062s | challenge yourselves and then especially |
| 1063s | when you share it with us that's the |
| 1064s | really cool |
| 1066s | part super cool one of the most uh |
| 1069s | recent things that I think I've seen um |
| 1071s | was actually sorry in the chat has been |
| 1076s | using some of the new equipment and the |
| 1080s | Titans DLC |
| 1082s | expansion to completely Crush some of |
| 1086s | the prior race challenges that we had |
| 1089s | from a long long time ago like really |
| 1092s | super impressive oh |
| 1095s | whoops so major major kudos to you |
| 1099s | sir very very neat |
| 1109s | I have a feeling my equipment is uh not |
| 1113s | up to stop this is taking a very long |
| 1115s | time to drop these fools are we ready |
| 1116s | for this I don't know I don't know let's |
| 1120s | try to way to find out yeah let's try to |
| 1124s | here we |
| 1125s | go are blocked I'm here more cause for |
| 1130s | concern this should do a healthy bit of |
| 1132s | damage to those around seen in action |
| 1134s | before more certainly has their absolute |
| 1137s | devotion any idea could have achieved |
| 1139s | that there is speculation that they've |
| 1142s | each been offer a personal slice of the |
| 1143s | DMC I'm also completely missing the |
| 1146s | Temptation an additional secondary item |
| 1149s | oh my |
| 1150s | gosh maybe we'll get a |
| 1153s | drop to help deck us |
| 1165s | out I almost wonder if it would be |
| 1167s | better if we swapped over to |
| 1170s | the corrosion injector instead of the |
| 1173s | annihilator |
| 1175s | virus might not actually be a bad idea I |
| 1177s | think whenever it completes its cool |
| 1180s | down they probably cycle |
| 1188s | weapons all |
| 1197s | right let's do some of this in first |
| 1199s | person just cuz it's cool got on the |
| 1201s | back yeah I hope you're sure about this |
| 1204s | doesn't look that great from where I'm |
| 1205s | sitting once we reach the surface that |
| 1208s | story will change believe me hang in |
| 1210s | there Pango do you read me is there |
| 1212s | anything you can do regrettably negative |
| 1216s | the communication systems have been |
| 1217s | completely sealed off I will crack them |
| 1220s | eventually I'm sure you can do it |
| 1224s | Pango I'm sure you can too |
| 1226s | Pango I believe in you |
| 1231s | actually a big fan of Pango he's one of |
| 1232s | my favorite characters actually he's |
| 1235s | just really |
| 1242s | cool I'm curious this kind of a random |
| 1245s | question how many of you guys have seen |
| 1247s | the TV series Firefly or the movie |
| 1251s | Serenity it's kind of a just random |
| 1254s | thing I'm jumping in there but there's a |
| 1255s | reason for it |
| 1263s | take your time don't be |
| 1270s | shy I like how I said I was going to |
| 1272s | change devices and I keep using |
| 1274s | Annihilator virus I think it's actually |
| 1275s | doing pretty good work |
| 1278s | so okay getting pretty H anybody got |
| 1281s | critical damage we lost some guys this |
| 1284s | better be worth it we are also losing |
| 1287s | people God damn it where's the Coalition |
| 1289s | in all this ell I thought you said |
| 1292s | they'd be here they assured me they |
| 1294s | would come somehow that's not reassuring |
| 1297s | Hold the Line |
| 1300s | people I want to look over a chat but I |
| 1302s | also don't want to lose my my |
| 1305s | beam this is tricky has anyone said that |
| 1308s | they've seen the shows or the |
| 1310s | movie uh a couple have yeah B frog has |
| 1316s | uhia as well I I've seen definitely the |

| 1323s | see yeah the movie was yeah the movie |
| 1325s | was fine but it's just it's sad should |
| 1328s | that TV series should have got so much |
| 1330s | more love but um but our Bine |
| 1334s | hacker um I actually don't know if they |
| 1338s | were inspired by the character from The |
| 1340s | Serenity movie or not but there is a |
| 1343s | hacker in the serenity movie one of his |
| 1345s | most famous lines is you can't stop the |
| 1347s | signal Ma and um that just reminds |
| 1352s | me of our Bine just everything that he |
| 1355s | does like he's just always in |

| 1610s | good I want more |
| 1612s | space see that all right so what I'm |
| 1615s | going to do I can't help but notice |
| 1617s | something's missing from the scene |
| 1618s | actually I'm I'm kind of locked into |
| 1619s | this until we finish the story oh my |
| 1621s | gosh I just now just now realized that |
| 1624s | there's not really any going |
| 1625s | back right now whoops you got this i got |
| 1629s | this but uh we will be able to I'm going |
| 1631s | to just like during the course of this |
| 1633s | let's show you a quick little detail |
| 1635s | that maybe you didn't know you can blow |
| 1637s | these up and you can grab these energy |
| 1639s | cores and you can pull them out and it |
| 1642s | does a ton of damage do you guys know |
| 1644s | that |
| 1645s | I you guys know that so if you're like a |
| 1648s | super weak ship like I |
| 1651s | am I mean we're not super weak but the |
| 1654s | point is is that we can do a ton of |
| 1655s | damage by just pulling these things |
| 1662s | out now it's just a couple of quick |
| 1664s | shots and he's done |
| 1666s | for which is good |
| 1670s | cuz because of that so getting these |
| 1673s | guys out of the way is really helpful |
| 1678s | and they are on both sides there's not |
| 1680s | just two of them there's oh come on |
| 1682s | there we go they're on both sides so |
| 1685s | there's four of |
| 1686s | them three is normally enough to do the |
| 1689s | trick though oh come on get the right |
| 1691s | angle there we go get |
| 1695s | wrecked I'm going to focus on the |
| 1696s | turrets cuz they're |
| 1703s | easy so there's your first little tidbit |
| 1705s | of did you know but we're going to be |
| 1708s | doing the the |
| 1710s | inventory so just stay tuned for that |
| 1713s | it's going to be a little bit later than |
| 1714s | uh our scheduling just cuz of we got to |
| 1718s | complete this Mission now we got we got |
| 1719s | to do |
| 1721s | it got to do |
| 1723s | it but we can answer some questions and |
| 1726s | continue the banter of |
| 1728s | course love us some banter tower out I |
| 1733s | would discourage you from firing on the |
| 1735s | tower as my Intel indicates it also |
| 1737s | contains the C where commissioner ha |
| 1741s | detained scrap I hope she's |
| 1751s | okay almost |
| 1757s | there poor alic he is really getting tag |
| 1761s | team |
| 1767s | there all right missed |
| 1771s | a that's what I get for firing the |
| 1773s | cruise |
| 1776s | missile at a little fighter man I did |
| 1779s | like no damage for that |
| 1781s | Al ah oh now we're taking damage okay |
| 1785s | bring it back bring it back |
| 1795s | please ow ow ow stop it okay |
| 1799s | knock it |
| 1801s | off that's one more give me status it |
| 1805s | feels like we're throwing ourselves |
| 1807s | against a solid wall here buddy if you |
| 1809s | could just get me through on the |
| 1810s | Personnel Channel I could convince the |
| 1812s | miners to disrupt the defenses one |
| 1814s | second on it y y hang on there hang on |
| 1817s | there officer |
| 1821s | shot so |
| 1824s | close just got to take him out then |
| 1826s | we'll go into section number two of this |
| 1829s | bit and I think whenever we do that we |
| 1831s | could probably |
| 1833s | start no we'll we'll we'll keep going |
| 1835s | we'll keep |
| 1837s | going extended gameplay segment here we |
| 1840s | go let's do this yeah wizard Jerry is |
| 1843s | just wondering if you could craft any |
| 1845s | secondary weapons cuz you seem to be |
| 1847s | lacking a little bit in uh devices and |
| 1849s | secondar that would make a lot of sense |
| 1852s | uh probably do some corrosion mines |
| 1854s | honestly because those things are quite |
| 1855s | the |
| 1856s | Beast um that's what I think we're going |
| 1859s | to go with but you're right that's a |
| 1860s | really good call um and probably |
| 1864s | professional you know Pilots they like |
| 1865s | to spot things when you when you |
| 1868s | absolutely absolutely we'll also just uh |
| 1871s | cover our rear and get one of these as |
| 1873s | well just in case things go south we are |
| 1875s | losing too many units hang on tight |
| 1878s | we'll be right |
| 1881s | there I'm going to get this guy for oops |
| 1885s | well I meant to fly past him I want the |
| 1886s | other side that's right |
| 1898s | come come |
| 1906s | on I don't even want to see how much |
| 1909s | damage that missile tr's going to do to |
| 1910s | me all right I don't even want to test |
| 1913s | the |
| 1913s | limits cuz I know that this is not an |
| 1916s | optimized build |
| 1922s | there we go get out of here we're really |
| 1926s | close Adam I'm in found the override for |
| 1930s | the internal officer sha can speak to |
| 1933s | the base crew directly now sure one |
| 1936s | thing I I will say to the guys and girls |
| 1938s | in the chat that it can be quite |
| 1939s | difficult when you're flying around and |
| 1941s | concentrating and you know trying to |
| 1942s | entertain the stream as well you don't |
| 1944s | notice things like your secondary |
| 1946s | weapons or you know you've only got one |
| 1947s | of them |
| 1949s | consumables have disappeared and then he |
| 1951s | like we don't mind you know we're there |
| 1953s | for the |
| 1955s | entertainment goodness also uh I see I |
| 1959s | see uh the comment that you can't craft |
| 1961s | skill though that's very very good point |
| 1963s | very good |
| 1964s | point defitely my |
| 1967s | goodness that by The |
| 1970s | Bu so with all my testing of this um I |
| 1973s | discovered some really cheeky ways to do |
| 1975s | this without getting hurt so you're |
| 1977s | about to see the the dove cheats here of |
| 1981s | how to complete this without taking |
| 1982s | damage from the |
| 1985s | laser that's right ladies and |
| 1988s | gentlemen go from underneath you and |
| 1992s | your Associates are finished Roslin is |

| 2101s | up just trying to corrode him |
| 2105s | away actually wait corrosion doesn't |
| 2107s | work on him why did we make corrosion |
| 2110s | mines who made that |
| 2114s | suggestion this point I blame wizard |
| 2116s | Jerry yes |
| 2121s | 100% Road for you and your schemes all |
| 2123s | right next |
| 2125s | phase Mr rosin I have briefed Fleet |
| 2128s | command that they have given the |
| 2129s | authorization to eliminate Blakemore |
| 2131s | with absolute Prejudice commissioner |
| 2134s | Hawk good to hear your voice I'm on |
| 2139s | it the DMZ doubt this is going to do too |
| 2142s | much but why not profitability and you |
| 2146s | threaten it all your schemes are lacking |
| 2148s | in many respects |
| 2151s | Blakemore don't don't shoot myself that |
| 2154s | would be really |
| 2156s | bad I I have totally wiped myself |
| 2159s | because of that Shield right there um |
| 2162s | there's actually a Vanguard build I was |
| 2164s | just having some fun and uh it's just |
| 2166s | meant to be like a glass Cannon build |
| 2168s | and it works to one shot yourself if you |
| 2171s | hit a shield like that so uh yeah |
| 2199s | ow go we |
| 2202s | go I'm need up with all the uh quality |
| 2205s | comments like shut the crafted sticky |
| 2209s | turrets you are an irritant you know |
| 2212s | honestly that's that's probably Fair um |
| 2215s | we're going to we're going to move this |
| 2216s | out though we we need something we need |
| 2218s | something else uh let's just yeah |
| 2221s | Rockets are |
| 2223s | fun why |
| 2225s | not Adam you read me Ben what is it |
| 2229s | there's an elite fighter jet left behind |
| 2231s | in the hanger presumably from your clone |
| 2233s | it still has that weird Wormhole Tech |
| 2235s | installed so we could follow the |
| 2237s | trajectory and catch up with him in the |
| 2239s | commissioner's Cruiser come on exactly |
| 2242s | toss toss it to me I'll join you as soon |

| 2265s | go |
| 2271s | [Music] |
| 2274s | ow wait that didn't that didn't hit oh |
| 2277s | my gosh what what is this nonsense I |
| 2280s | disagree how did that |
| 2290s | miss all right this that that's got to |
| 2293s | hit right take longer to charge perhaps |
| 2295s | we can use them for there we go he is |
| 2298s | vulnerable quick shoot at him oh yeah |
| 2301s | Rockets were a good choice Rockets were |
| 2303s | a good |
| 2305s | choice there we go so close my life |
| 2308s | works so near |
| 2310s | culmination it scrap when it's built on |
| 2312s | dece why did you go all the way over |
| 2314s | there that's |
| 2328s | F so |
| 2330s | close that's fine |
| 2340s | Kobe that was too |
| 2343s | high I'll try |
| 2349s | again there we |
| 2353s | go |
| 2356s | cool all right last |
| 2362s | one done all |
| 2365s | right okay skipping to the next bit |
| 2368s | we're going we're going we're going a |
| 2370s | bunch of stuff happens and now Comet |
| 2374s | Comet time it's right here we |
| 2379s | go I never imagined it would come down |
| 2381s | to this just us two Ros clones remaining |
| 2385s | of course it had to the cosmos is cruel |
| 2389s | you're free from Blakemore now just |
| 2392s | don't need to be so fatalistic this is |
| 2394s | the only path remaining the DMZ needs to |
| 2398s | and I'm going to be the one alter the |
| 2400s | face of this cursed |
| 2402s | place man that Cris Shields are way too |
| 2405s | what's going to be great is that once we |
| 2406s | are done going through this story here |
| 2409s | we'll be able to utilize other sections |
| 2411s | of the stream to help give you um a lot |
| 2414s | of Direction on the DLC content which |
| 2416s | wasn't technically in the plans but |
| 2418s | we'll be able to start those go through |
| 2420s | those missions here as well our as well |
| 2424s | as really focus in on any other |
| 2425s | questions that you guys have so yeah I |
| 2428s | kind of like going hard and just going |
| 2430s | getting all of this out of the way |
| 2432s | getting the story completed here so we |
| 2435s | can move on to the next steps this is |
| 2438s | cool we'll also get to see um the stats |
| 2442s | which I'm excited to show as well since |
| 2445s | the entirety of this save has been |
| 2448s | during the live streams with you all so |
| 2450s | we'll be able to look back and see how |
| 2452s | much time you guys have spent watching |
| 2455s | this particular safe file and every |
| 2456s | single interaction that has |
| 2459s | happen pretty neat |
| 2463s | honestly all right we're skipping we're |
| 2466s | skipping so we can get out of all the |
| 2469s | things that's right so many things to |
| 2471s | skip but we have concluded the story we |
| 2474s | are finished we've bested the |
| 2477s | foes and now we can get into um some |
| 2480s | highlights some showcases and answering |
| 2482s | your questions so that is what we are |
| 2485s | diving straight into here uh as soon as |
| 2488s | we have yep here we are you sure it's |
| 2491s | not too I'm sure it's not too soon |
| 2492s | excellent all right so um the very first |
| 2496s | thing that I want to do um I know that |
| 2498s | there are a couple questions floating I |
| 2500s | want to um give you guys a quick rundown |
| 2504s | the bypass and would be willing to try |
| 2505s | out that stabilization method you talked |
| 2507s | about good C this is a test phase I |
| 2511s | forgot about the Rifts as well oh my |
| 2515s | gosh guys we have too much content we |
| 2517s | got remove some of this this is |
| 2518s | ridiculous I need to talk to a team |
| 2520s | member we got |
| 2523s | to what did you call let's just rewind |
| 2527s | to 1.0 that's right you know what let's |
| 2529s | let's go ahead let's answer questions |
| 2530s | first and then we'll do a little a quick |
| 2532s | little showcase so uh what do we got |
| 2534s | Gary go ahead and join me on the screen |
| 2536s | um there you are ah perfect |
| 2540s | perfect right we have a few question got |
| 2543s | four of them uh lined up all from |
| 2545s | YouTube uh twitch is slacking |
| 2549s | space is awesome over on YouTube like to |
| 2551s | know the dreadn primary weapons were |
| 2554s | removed uh this detail fits well into |
| 2557s | the law however just for fing curiosity |
| 2560s | what were those weapons do we know oh |
| 2563s | well we actually were experimenting with |
| 2564s | a ton of different Weaponry for the |
| 2566s | dreadnots um and yeah I mean I don't |
| 2570s | necessarily know if it's here nor there |
| 2572s | but like we experimented with the all |
| 2575s | like well not all of them that's that's |
| 2577s | kind of an over exaggeration but like we |
| 2580s | wanted to see how to Kit it out in a way |
| 2582s | to be ominous to be |
| 2585s | dangerous um and there was a lot of |
| 2588s | experimentation on what that needed to |
| 2589s | look like and how that's interacting |
| 2591s | with the player so |
| 2594s | um I'm trying to |
| 2596s | think I think we had a lot more like |
| 2599s | lasers actually Marco could correct me |
| 2603s | if I'm wrong there but I thought at one |
| 2605s | point we were going to do lasers that |
| 2606s | just like straight up hit you kind of |
| 2607s | similar to some of the bosses we just |
| 2609s | saw um but we decided to go with |
| 2613s | something more to where it gives the |
| 2615s | player control to dodge to navigate |
| 2617s | around since there are recurring events |
| 2619s | with the |
| 2622s | dreadnots over and over and over again |
| 2624s | there's not just like a instakill always |
| 2626s | tracks the player sort of situation um |
| 2629s | generally speaking that's not really fun |
| 2631s | uh |
| 2631s | so yeah we kind of mix things around um |
| 2635s | I know that we also had standard ized |
| 2638s | mines that it would launch at one point |
| 2639s | and then we decided you know what we're |
| 2641s | actually going to give it legendary |
| 2642s | mines so um so the dreadnut actually |
| 2646s | launches Judgment Day mines um in |
| 2649s | specific circumstances and they are |
| 2651s | absolutely deadly um which is a lot of |
| 2654s | fun very cool kind of gives the uh |
| 2657s | dreadn that greater sense of its power |
| 2660s | so yeah that's about the best I can |
| 2663s | answer that question there's just |
| 2664s | there's so much experimentation and |
| 2666s | exploration when it comes to development |
| 2668s | um and the dread knot was no different |
| 2670s | so yeah what else we got uh right uh |
| 2675s | Alex bzel doski sorry if I butchered |
| 2678s | that over on YouTube I was like to know |
| 2680s | about the inventory uh specifically um |
| 2683s | they said it would be great to have |
| 2684s | different icons for different |
| 2686s | combinations like the green one for the |
| 2688s | BL monong get is it hard they find it |
| 2690s | hard for them to navigate in inventory |
| 2692s | for a specific item I know we've been |
| 2694s | asked this before yeah yeah so like |
| 2696s | pertaining to like different sets like |
| 2698s | this is the autonomous set whereas this |
| 2700s | one is the commander set and they have |
| 2701s | the same logo in the lower left yeah |
| 2703s | this is this is actually something that |
| 2704s | we have talked about internally um |
| 2706s | believe it or not there are a lot of um |
| 2709s | how should we put |
| 2713s | this there's a lot that has to be kind |
| 2715s | of pulled apart in order to put it all |
| 2718s | back together in a format like that um |
| 2720s | but there are there were a lot of |
| 2722s | discussions in fact I was one of the |
| 2724s | individuals talking with like Hans |
| 2725s | Christian about this where it would be |
| 2727s | really nice to have like the logo of a |
| 2729s | set item on the item itself so you could |
| 2731s | see if it's the same or not um and th |
| 2736s | this was also at a time where |
| 2738s | development has very specific deadlines |
| 2741s | to accomplish tasks okay if we don't |
| 2744s | reach certain tasks then that means a |
| 2746s | feature is going to have to get cut or a |
| 2750s | like a level is going to have to be like |
| 2752s | scaled back and we don't like doing that |
| 2754s | we want to enrich the content with as |
| 2757s | much as possible and when it comes to |
| 2759s | the iconography of set items it takes a |
| 2763s | back seat in comparison to say a new |
| 2766s | side mission right so there's a lot of |
| 2768s | decisions that have to be made they're |
| 2770s | not easy whatsoever this is this is |
| 2771s | through every single ask any developer |
| 2774s | okay ask any single developer who's ever |
| 2776s | existed um there will always be a |
| 2779s | Crossroads where you really want to do |
| 2781s | this and you really want to do that |
| 2783s | choose |
| 2784s | one and that's kind of the nature of |
| 2786s | what happened into the set items so |
| 2789s | definitely agree that that could be a |
| 2790s | really cool thing and shoot maybe Hans |
| 2793s | Christian's back at the studio right now |
| 2795s | working on it and he hasn't told me and |
| 2797s | it's going to be a surprise later I |
| 2799s | legitimately don't know so um but this |
| 2802s | is something that we simply were not |
| 2803s | able to uh to push because we wanted to |
| 2806s | focus in on enriching much more of the |
| 2808s | content surrounding the game surrounding |
| 2810s | what you can engage with uh the |
| 2811s | replayability all these other factors |
| 2813s | and we're really happy that we chose |
| 2815s | that direction um and the enrichment |
| 2817s | that has created so wish we could do it |
| 2821s | all doesn't everybody wish we could do |
| 2823s | it all so but uh but a great question |
| 2826s | hope that provides a little bit of |
| 2827s | insight um but yeah uh what's a what's |
| 2830s | another one we got uh we've got one from |
| 2833s | again space is awesome back on YouTube |
| 2835s | um he's wondering who are the voice |
| 2837s | actors for the redeemers he finds them |
| 2840s | funny how they managed to how we managed |
| 2841s | to produce such strange voices um I did |
| 2845s | kind of answer this in the chat we'd |
| 2846s | probably have to |
| 2847s | to um on on doing that um because I can |
| 2852s | imagine that a lot of people were |
| 2853s | involved in them different voices uh and |
| 2856s | how they were created yes yeah and and |
| 2858s | to that just to add a little bit more I |
| 2860s | mean the voices that you hear in game |
| 2863s | they have been adjusted right um there's |
| 2866s | the audio crackling sounds whever you're |
| 2869s | like speaking through the coms there's |
| 2870s | the regular sound if you're like just |
| 2872s | talking to Hive or if you're in a cut |
| 2874s | scene um there's the adjustments to |
| 2877s | voices like Hive our Hive our leading |
| 2880s | Hive protagonist he does not actually |
| 2884s | sound exactly like he does in real life |
| 2886s | um there is like this technical sort of |
| 2889s | um masking that covers the voice U to |
| 2892s | make him sound more sort of um automated |
| 2895s | and robotic and then there's also other |
| 2897s | sort of filters that are applied there |
| 2898s | so so basically what I'm getting at is |
| 2900s | there's a lot of technical uh coverage |
| 2903s | that goes across the board um and all of |
| 2905s | that goes through our sound expert on |
| 2909s | our music uh expert which is grro um and |
| 2912s | he's done such a remarkable job and he |
| 2914s | could tell you more if he was in the |
| 2916s | chat um but uh yeah it's it's a lot |
| 2918s | there's a lot of a lot of details in |
| 2920s | there deception Hive doesn't sound like |
| 2922s | that in real life I know right oh my |
| 2925s | gosh you guys so but that's a clever |
| 2927s | question but yeah the the short short is |
| 2931s | um yeah it gets adjusted to make him |
| 2933s | sound rough and cruel and stuff yeah |
| 2937s | yeah people are remembering the text of |
| 2939s | speech that we had in Early Access as |
| 2941s | well before everything got filled out |
| 2942s | with the proper voiceovers I |
| 2945s | douw will not |
| 2948s | to that was |
| 2950s | awesome oh dear right uh stick with |
| 2953s | YouTube uh Bearded Frog uh would like to |
| 2955s | know uh what exactly makes that Comet so |
| 2959s | sacred to the Oar anyway um so there's a |
| 2963s | very long story behind that um and I |
| 2965s | suppose that's what you're here for but |
| 2967s | but I'm actually going to keep it short |
| 2968s | for sake of uh getting to the rest of |
| 2970s | the stream um the short of it is that |
| 2973s | the uh aahar is um it's not just a |
| 2977s | matter of oh it's veridium therefore |
| 2979s | it's sacred to us there's a longstanding |
| 2981s | order of how aahar has touched the lies |
| 2984s | of the okar themselves in fact some um |
| 2989s | some clerical uh okar even believe that |
| 2992s | ashar itself is what gave the okar |
| 2995s | sentience now is is that true or not who |
| 2999s | knows because we couldn't even Define |
| 3001s | that the okar can't even Define that |
| 3003s | themselves but there there is some type |
| 3006s | of uh mental connection that the okar |
| 3009s | literally have with the presence of |
| 3012s | aahar and for that very reason alone |
| 3016s | because there's this this event that |
| 3018s | basically occurs like the okar go on the |
| 3020s | pilgrimage to uh visit aahar um in this |
| 3024s | Grand sort of event and um they do this |
| 3028s | because of the ceremonies surrounding |
| 3029s | that and and just the love that they |
| 3031s | pour out for um what they have in |
| 3034s | operating as this um this alien race |
| 3037s | right so a lot a lot of details behind |
| 3040s | that um and and none of it is necessary |
| 3043s | right that's the beauty in this lore |
| 3045s | type of stuff like you ask well why is |
| 3047s | this the way that it is well we actually |
| 3049s | have a reason for that like we we go |
| 3051s | into Rich detail to ensure the world has |
| 3054s | meaning and value to it the oakar don't |
| 3057s | just want the comet because you're the |
| 3059s | player and there must be a McGuffin to |
| 3062s | lead you to the story that has this |
| 3064s | conflict I mean that is kind of |
| 3067s | necessary for proper storytelling but |
| 3068s | the the point is that the okar have |
| 3070s | purpose they have reason for getting |
| 3072s | really upset with anybody who would |
| 3074s | tamper with it so much so that they |
| 3076s | would expel their own lives to best |
| 3079s | yours if you were to touch it uh because |
| 3082s | of its impact to their entire society |
| 3085s | and possibly even their formation |
| 3087s | so yeah there's a lot to it there's a |
| 3089s | lot to it and that was that was the |
| 3090s | short version I could I could go into so |
| 3092s | much more but um I'll just add a little |
| 3096s | follow-up question on there if if you |
| 3097s | can answer this one briefly as well is |
| 3099s | did the Ancients also worship asaha that |
| 3102s | is a question that |
| 3105s | um I actually don't know if I'm allowed |
| 3108s | to answer that that's interesting that's |
| 3111s | an interesting response there um but uh |
| 3114s | what I can say is that from the colonial |
| 3117s | perspective um what we know of the |
| 3119s | Ancients is that they are revered by the |
| 3121s | okar you've probably heard hives say |
| 3123s | that to you before um and there's a some |
| 3128s | type of connection between the Ancients |
| 3131s | and the okar and as we've just spoken |
| 3133s | about aahar having this uh connection to |
| 3135s | them as well uh could they all be |
| 3137s | intertwined is there something more |
| 3139s | going |
| 3142s | on next |
| 3144s | question right last one for the time |
| 3146s | being being again from sorry over on |
| 3148s | YouTube are there any plans that we know |
| 3151s | of to reuse like Rogue like elements |
| 3152s | from the first game they'd love to do |
| 3155s | more stuff like the Rifts or the |
| 3157s | Leviathan in that |
| 3158s | style |
| 3161s | um well I mean that's that's an |
| 3163s | interesting statement so a lot of the |
| 3165s | replayability of everspace 2's end game |
| 3168s | is largely inspired by everspace one um |
| 3171s | so inherently that's that's why we're |
| 3173s | providing these um experiences like the |
| 3177s | Rifts were kind of a I think I even |
| 3180s | spoke about it in the streams even um |
| 3182s | like the rift is designed as kind of |
| 3183s | like a slice of everspace one infused |
| 3186s | into everspace 2 plus you have these |
| 3188s | additional sort of modifiers and |
| 3190s | challenges that you can uh make things |
| 3192s | more difficult now full-blown runs look |
| 3195s | um there's also the argument where we |
| 3197s | need to keep things bite-sized so that |
| 3199s | you're not spinning three four 5 hours |
| 3202s | on a single endgame run right that that |
| 3204s | would kind of be ridiculous ever space |
| 3206s | one the entire point of the game was to |
| 3208s | try and complete that run and then |
| 3209s | complete another run and complete |
| 3210s | another run so it's always that one more |
| 3212s | run mentality um so a two to three hour |
| 3216s | experience there was you know really |
| 3218s | ideal since that's the whole game right |
| 3221s | you're you're trying you're saving |
| 3223s | you're you're loading your save you're |
| 3224s | dying you're starting a new run that's |
| 3226s | the whole element of that with everspace |
| 3228s | 2 we want you to wiggle around various |
| 3231s | builds and play Styles and uh interpret |
| 3234s | the equipment in ways that maybe we |
| 3236s | haven't even thought about out and then |
| 3237s | throw yourself into situations and see |
| 3239s | what happens and how fun it is and and |
| 3242s | uh what you can kind of obtain or how |
| 3244s | you can challenge yourself to overcome |
| 3246s | prior obstacles so yeah so |
| 3251s | um as a completely direct response to |
| 3254s | your question itself uh we kind of did |
| 3257s | and we hope that you enjoy that we've |
| 3260s | kind of made this more appropriate for |
| 3262s | the itemization systems in ever Space 2 |
| 3265s | um so that you can have a lot of |
| 3267s | replayability still while also spending |
| 3270s | this time to delightfully modify tweak |
| 3273s | and adjust uh the these various elements |
| 3275s | to your liking to find new ways to have |
| 3278s | fun woo there we |
| 3282s | [Laughter] |
| 3284s | go so what else we |
| 3286s | got um the last one again from sorry |
| 3289s | it's just a followup uh he just want to |
| 3291s | rephrase any plans for different kinds |
| 3293s | of bite-sized Rift experiences |
| 3297s | excuse me |
| 3299s | um well high-risk areas are kind of like |
| 3301s | that |
| 3304s | um yeah I mean |
| 3306s | that's the question is challenging to |
| 3311s | answer |
| 3313s | because if we were to continue down the |
| 3316s | route of everspace 2 content which you |
| 3319s | guys know we are we want to make sure |
| 3321s | that the content is fun not just for a |
| 3324s | moment but for a lasting period of time |
| 3326s | time we don't really want you guys to |
| 3330s | like you know spend a bunch of money to |
| 3332s | get like a 2hour campaign and then be |
| 3334s | done right like even with our dreadnut |
| 3336s | and our Leviathan the missions have an |
| 3339s | ex like a certain amount of time to |
| 3340s | spend if you speedrun them of course you |
| 3342s | can complet them super fast or you could |
| 3344s | take your time and envelop yourself in |
| 3346s | the additional World um but even still |
| 3349s | if you are getting all of the content |
| 3351s | and you're enjoying those experiences |
| 3352s | you can keep doing that over and over |
| 3354s | and over again right the same would |
| 3357s | apply to other content that we' bring to |
| 3359s | the game we're not going to just like |
| 3361s | even if you look back in the incursions |
| 3362s | update and you look back still in the |
| 3364s | armed and dangerous update we see two |
| 3367s | different ways that's handled in |
| 3368s | incursions we see that as another sort |
| 3370s | of Rift like system like you're talking |
| 3373s | about right where you go to a specific |
| 3375s | area and this this combat situation you |
| 3377s | gain new stuff to gives new abilities to |
| 3380s | unlock new stuff you know it's it's very |
| 3382s | giving um whereas the armed and |
| 3384s | dangerous update is all about like |
| 3385s | horizontal progression right now let's |
| 3388s | expand our opportunities of the |
| 3390s | itemization systems right um this too is |
| 3393s | creating more replayability because now |
| 3395s | there's more stuff to find and |
| 3397s | experiment |
| 3398s | with I could keep going on and I bet you |
| 3401s | know that I could but I'm going to stop |
| 3403s | because this is already way too long of |
| 3404s | a response um so that would definitely |
| 3408s | be our desire in the future as well if |
| 3410s | we're creating new content that can't be |
| 3412s | enjoyed over and over again then we're |
| 3414s | doing it wrong so there you go |
| 3419s | woo what else we got that's it for now |
| 3422s | yeah I I've just answered a few of the |
| 3424s | outline questions but awesome we're good |
| 3426s | we're good no thanks for that all right |
| 3428s | um Gary why don't you go ahead and |
| 3429s | vanish and I'm going to show you guys a |
| 3431s | fun little thing um which is mainly just |
| 3435s | having a better understanding of what |
| 3437s | your controls look like from the |
| 3439s | inventory screen all right um a lot of |
| 3442s | you guys oh my gosh I we we'll start at |
| 3444s | default here um I watch I watch a lot of |
| 3447s | streams from you guys and this is kind |
| 3449s | of the default view uh um actually it |
| 3452s | starts with latest I think this is the |
| 3455s | default view of what your inventory |
| 3456s | looks like and as you can see it's just |
| 3458s | kind of a a mess of things right um it |
| 3461s | starts off with these categories to your |
| 3464s | left that you've maybe never even |
| 3466s | scrolled over in your entire life but |
| 3469s | these things help organize what you are |
| 3471s | looking at in the cargo this is the |
| 3475s | latest tag that means it's in order of |
| 3479s | when you picked it up that's the easiest |
| 3481s | way to respond I normally play with |
| 3483s | value because that helps me understand |
| 3486s | what I can sell for the greatest amount |
| 3488s | and I can scrap other things that are |
| 3489s | kind of lesser value or I can find a |
| 3491s | nice mixture uh across them but you also |
| 3494s | have the means to organize by item type |
| 3496s | so if you were ever like man |
| 3497s | everything's just like too much of a |
| 3499s | clutter but I need an energy core well |
| 3501s | boom you hit that and look at that we |
| 3503s | have all our energy cores nice together |
| 3504s | you can do some quick comparisons super |
| 3507s | duper easy peasy still more based on |
| 3509s | Rarity if you just straight up don't |
| 3511s | care about the uh cash value of the item |
| 3514s | you're just like what's the highest |
| 3516s | what's the lowest boom you can also do |
| 3517s | that uh I tend to use this from time to |
| 3520s | time as well just because I like that |
| 3521s | structure and then last but not least |
| 3523s | you have level which is only relevant |
| 3526s | from your experience from the beginning |
| 3528s | all the way to the end of the campaign |
| 3530s | because normally when you're finished um |
| 3532s | you will be close to level 30 and then |
| 3535s | from there everything is going to stay |
| 3536s | level 30 cuz it's not going to be less |
| 3538s | and it's not going to be |
| 3539s | more um so yeah um another another thing |
| 3544s | there are actually controls um how to |
| 3546s | change this um on Console um I believe |
| 3552s | it's uh let me see if I |
| 3554s | can yeah there it is it's going to be |
| 3557s | your left thumb stick so if you're on |
| 3559s | console and you're like I don't have |
| 3561s | access cuz I can't click on it yes you |
| 3562s | can just hit the the left analog stick |
| 3565s | and that will cycle for you now you |
| 3567s | might also be wondering well you know |
| 3569s | I've also seen that there's been similar |
| 3570s | stuff like in a |
| 3572s | shop yes and it's the exact same way |
| 3575s | that you can interact with it now as you |
| 3577s | see we've got value item type Rarity and |
| 3579s | level we also have Reby I'm going to |
| 3581s | talk about this one a little bit more um |
| 3584s | and then we also have these two sort of |
| 3586s | uh displays here this is what it looks |
| 3588s | like standard but you can also shrink |
| 3591s | this down by pressing this |
| 3593s | one to give it all strong down into |
| 3597s | these little squares to make it a bit |
| 3599s | easier uh to pick really fast but of |
| 3602s | course if you want more of those details |
| 3604s | like this you can have it listed like |
| 3605s | that and just scroll through it of |
| 3607s | course um and of course when you have |
| 3609s | this open whenever you have the shop |
| 3611s | open the Sorting is now going to affect |
| 3614s | the shop instead |
| 3617s | okay so we can cycle around that |
| 3620s | way another quick thing to point out |
| 3623s | sometimes you guys will sell something |
| 3625s | you're like crap I sold it I'm looking |
| 3626s | for it I'm looking for it I'm looking |
| 3628s | for it guess what it's not here the item |
| 3630s | you sold isn't there it's |
| 3633s | here the Reby button you can go pick it |
| 3636s | up and you get exactly what you sold it |
| 3639s | for back no |
| 3641s | sweat no problem whatsoever this has |
| 3644s | been in the game for since 1.0 release |
| 3647s | this is not something we added it's |
| 3649s | always been there uh but now you know |
| 3652s | all right last but not least let's go |
| 3654s | into some more of those added little |
| 3655s | details here we have the level |
| 3659s | show and demand so let's talk about that |
| 3662s | ever so briefly you can see these little |
| 3664s | dots you can see these numbers if we |
| 3666s | don't have that you don't see them you |
| 3667s | just see the icon in the upper left |
| 3669s | showing you what it is um I almost |
| 3672s | always turn this on as soon as I can cuz |
| 3674s | whether it is an item it shows the level |
| 3677s | or a commodity it shows the Rarity of |
| 3679s | where you are currently at so you can |
| 3681s | get the best sales very quickly you go |
| 3684s | over to the shop and be like oh yeah |
| 3685s | these are these are orange that one's |
| 3687s | red you know what why not I'll just go |
| 3689s | ahead and sell the orange ones which |
| 3692s | brings me to the next one how did I |
| 3693s | multi select there oh that seems so |
| 3696s | convenient yes so there's a quick little |
| 3698s | shortcut for PC players where if you |
| 3701s | hold the control button down and you |
| 3703s | click it selects multiple things now |
| 3707s | this can also be done by expanding your |
| 3709s | view expanding your view is right |
| 3712s | here you just hold the button down and |
| 3715s | boom now it goes up here the same way to |
| 3718s | uh to multi select is now you can see |
| 3720s | it's underneath the item it says Mark |
| 3723s | and you just push |
| 3725s | R and this does the exact same |
| 3729s | thing if you are also |
| 3732s | wondering yes this also works on Console |
| 3735s | so very briefly just going to show this |
| 3737s | um if you need to expand your view you |
| 3739s | expand it holding in that L3 and then |
| 3742s | once you're in here look all you have to |
| 3744s | do is start marking stuff look I'm on |
| 3747s | I'm on Console baby I'm on console and |
| 3749s | I'm able to mark this stuff and you can |
| 3751s | sell it all immediately uh it just like |
| 3755s | get get rid of it boom no problem easy |
| 3759s | peasy it's all there for you we've done |
| 3762s | this for you because we love you um but |
| 3765s | sincerely so that's that's a crash |
| 3768s | course on how you can use this space |
| 3770s | your inventory in ways that you may not |
| 3773s | have thought you can actually use it so |
| 3775s | I hope that this short demonstration of |
| 3778s | everything that we've plugged into this |
| 3779s | space has given you a bit more of an |
| 3781s | advantage in sorting through your cargo |
| 3784s | and the shop in your future |
| 3787s | runs um we could actually keep going but |
| 3790s | we're going to we're going to end it |
| 3791s | there um I think that equipment itself |
| 3794s | is a whole another sort of experience |
| 3796s | with all of these different things for |
| 3798s | example um but we did Implement these |
| 3801s | systems for an ease of comparing your |
| 3803s | equipment to one another um so if you |
| 3806s | want to spend the time of searching |
| 3807s | around you're just like I only want to |
| 3808s | look at Primary Weapons you choose a |
| 3810s | primary and go through that and it has |
| 3812s | all of these listed for your convenience |
| 3815s | giving everything from weapon energy and |
| 3818s | kinetic damage to the range to the value |
| 3821s | to the item type to the Rarity to the |
| 3823s | level I said I wasn't going to do it and |
| 3825s | I just did it really fast boom um you |
| 3827s | can also see this um pertaining to your |
| 3830s | ship versus |
| 3832s | everything um and when you're in the |
| 3834s | home base this also allows you to cycle |
| 3836s | between every single one of your ships |
| 3837s | in the |
| 3840s | hanger lots and lots and lots of UI that |
| 3845s | uh you no excuse me ux that you guys |
| 3847s | maybe didn't even know |
| 3849s | about but it's all there for you to |
| 3852s | participate with to enhance your |
| 3855s | experience all right so we have uh |
| 3859s | pushed through a couple of uh |
| 3861s | segments here uh but let's get right |
| 3864s | back on track um from here we are going |
| 3866s | to go right back into some gameplay what |
| 3868s | I'm going to do because we have |

| 4007s | individuals guessing what Hive means |
| 4010s | okay yeah so wizard Jerry does |
| 4012s | know wizard Jerry of course the legend |
| 4015s | himself interface virtual entity yes and |
| 4018s | now I'm going to embarrass you all cuz |
| 4019s | you know what you could have you could |
| 4020s | have used cheat codes you could have |
| 4022s | used cheat codes all you had to do all |
| 4025s | you had to do is go over here look right |
| 4027s | here and it says it says right here it |
| 4030s | says uh um uh where does it say right |
| 4033s | the it's a where's it oh right there |
| 4035s | right at the top at the very top of |
| 4037s | course it's super obvious how could you |
| 4039s | miss |
| 4040s | that uh perfect human interface virtual |
| 4043s | entity right there |
| 4046s | very very good there's a lot of detail |
| 4048s | in these uh these codexes by the way I |
| 4050s | spend a lot of time for you guys uh as |
| 4054s | well as other team members it wasn't |
| 4055s | just me goodness it wasn't just me but |
| 4057s | we we spent a lot of time enriching |
| 4059s | these character descriptions and whatnot |
| 4062s | um and some of that carried over from |
| 4064s | everspace one um some of it you get some |
| 4067s | new information um there's a lot of fun |
| 4069s | to be add in here we had some great |
| 4070s | writers uh plugging in some clarity and |
| 4073s | some fun um which we also were very |
| 4076s | dedicated by the way to ensure was lore |
| 4079s | accurate and made sense for the times |
| 4082s | that they were um there were a couple of |
| 4084s | times in the freaking uh freaking team |
| 4086s | can actually attest to this where we |
| 4088s | would plug something in um you know I |
| 4090s | would sort of tweak it a little bit they |
| 4092s | would tweak it a little bit uh new |
| 4093s | additions were added um and then it |
| 4095s | would be like oh hang on a second those |
| 4097s | dates don't line up with the events that |
| 4098s | are happening in the |
| 4101s | world yeah we would do stuff like that |
| 4104s | that's actually the process of how we |
| 4107s | write these events and these stories and |
| 4109s | these characters and having purpose to |
| 4111s | them I mean and I I hope that this comes |
| 4113s | true I mean we spent how long talking |
| 4115s | about aahar and how it's related to the |
| 4116s | oakar um but like these are important |
| 4119s | details to us these are very important |
| 4121s | details and if we have something where |
| 4123s | like um say we have dates on the timings |
| 4128s | of when certain things happened we |
| 4131s | ensure that those dates are accurate in |
| 4134s | fact we had a fun little situation I |
| 4137s | don't think Michael's going to mind me |
| 4139s | revealing this we actually had a full |
| 4140s | stop the presses moment with the art |
| 4142s | book because we had a date wrong for one |
| 4147s | of the characters it might have actually |
| 4148s | been Dax and we're like we've got to fix |
| 4150s | this because it's not |
| 4152s | correct so we fixed it and then started |
| 4155s | the presses back up with a a new file um |
| 4160s | but uh yeah there's there's that's how |
| 4162s | much we care about these details being |
| 4164s | correct guys like it's it is important |
| 4166s | to us that the world uh truly does make |
| 4168s | sense as it's kind of operating by |
| 4170s | itself and you're in it |
| 4173s | right and uh also that's how |
| 4177s | storywriting should always |
| 4180s | be all right |
| 4184s | cool quite the tangent but uh I think it |
| 4187s | was worth |
| 4189s | it all right let's trigger this um we're |
| 4192s | going |
| 4194s | to uh I I think I'll start the |
| 4196s | leviathans cuz I I really like the |
| 4197s | Leviathan Quest chain um I mean |
| 4200s | dreadnots the dreadnots fun too I think |
| 4203s | personally I |
| 4205s | prefer I think I prefer going through |
| 4207s | the Leviathan replay like replayable |
| 4210s | missions a little bit more than the |
| 4211s | dreadn ones |
| 4213s | dread but ironically I think I like the |
| 4216s | equipment that drops from the dreadn |
| 4217s | more |
| 4219s | so that wasn't there a moment before you |
| 4222s | guys are still commenting on what Hive |
| 4224s | could would stand I love it I love it |
| 4227s | it's great oh that's so |
| 4232s | good so |
| 4236s | good oh yeah I see K uh kazah I almost |
| 4239s | said Kyle what kazah um got to do a raid |
| 4242s | in Destiny with Michael uh yeah every |
| 4245s | now and then that that that stuff can |
| 4248s | happen uh yeah we had a number of other |
| 4250s | team members that would do that with uh |
| 4252s | with Michael as well and here and there |
| 4254s | but he's a very busy man so let me tell |
| 4256s | you guys it's not like he's playing |
| 4257s | Destiny every single night he he ain't |
| 4259s | got time for that all right he's too |
| 4261s | busy making a freaking stellar game for |
| 4263s | you |
| 4264s | all but uh I digress heard about any |
| 4268s | monsters out here in the Belta a monster |
| 4270s | is typically an un try to get I don't |
| 4273s | know why I keep going through super |
| 4275s | light when I have fast travel guys why |
| 4277s | do I keep doing this |
| 4280s | ridiculous you think that humans are the |
| 4282s | only species to delute themselves |
| 4284s | doesn't that say something about their |
| 4286s | power of imagination it says more about |
| 4288s | confirmation bias you are familiar with |
| 4291s | the flat sunners of Earth's home |
| 4294s | system flaters I forgot about |
| 4298s | this of the and desp exploring and |
| 4301s | colonizing half the known Galaxy they |
| 4304s | continue to have a strong |
| 4307s | membership so |
| 4310s | good so so good all |
| 4314s | right let's get right over over here |
| 4316s | keep asking those questions um they are |
| 4318s | not getting lost into the pool of the |
| 4319s | Abyss we are cataloging them we will be |
| 4322s | answering them here in a little bit um |
| 4325s | I'm trying to get over to this segment |
| 4328s | of |
| 4329s | the the game playay I want to I want to |
| 4332s | see if I can at least start the the |
| 4334s | Leviathan I'm probably not going to have |
| 4336s | enough time cuz I do want to jump over |
| 4338s | and have enough time to also give you |
| 4339s | guys um the dev interview um in fact |
| 4344s | from a timing standpoint it might just |
| 4346s | be best to cut to that right now so let |
| 4349s | me do a stopping point |
| 4351s | here and I want to introduce you to a |
| 4354s | completely new segment of our streams |
| 4356s | from here on out that we would like to |
| 4359s | do a little bit more of um and these are |
| 4361s | called internal interviews they don't |
| 4364s | necessarily have to be Rockfish |
| 4369s | employees interesting uh but they do |
| 4372s | need but they do need to be a |
| 4374s | conversation with individuals that maybe |
| 4377s | you haven't met before to give you some |
| 4379s | insight into spaces that you never |
| 4381s | thought of so let's get to this |
| 4383s | abandoned jump gate I'm going to save |
| 4385s | and I'll have you guys meet a pretty |
| 4388s | awesome individual of our |
| 4391s | team now um I am going to show you |
| 4394s | everything that was uh taken is |
| 4398s | pre-recorded um and the other detail to |
| 4402s | that there's going to be di I'm skipping |
| 4404s | it nope skip skip skip all right Dev |
| 4407s | cheats I'm using Dev cheats fully |
| 4409s | admitting cuz I want to get through this |
| 4411s | you know it's fine we'll just we'll just |
| 4412s | stop right here fine it was fine |
| 4415s | um cool I want to introduce you to Yan |
| 4419s | all right introduce you to Yan um keep |
| 4422s | in mind that when this was recorded um |
| 4424s | we were having some audio issues so my |
| 4427s | voice is a little bit lower than it |
| 4428s | probably should be you should be able to |
| 4430s | hear everything just fine though so |
| 4431s | without further Ado check this out |
| 4438s | so hello Yan how's it |
| 4441s | going good how are you oh I'm just |
| 4444s | delightful I have a series of questions |
| 4447s | to ask about your job and and fun things |
| 4451s | like that you are currently our quality |
| 4454s | assurance manager is that correct yes I |
| 4458s | think that's my official title yes |
| 4460s | wonderful there's some big words in |
| 4462s | there I was just kind of wondering just |
| 4463s | to start things off if you could give me |
| 4465s | a very brief description of what your |
| 4468s | title truly means and then we'll start |
| 4470s | getting into some details yeah sure |
| 4473s | thing so like quality assurance you're |
| 4476s | often just connected to like actually |
| 4480s | testing Buck reporting stuff like that |
| 4484s | with quality management there's like |
| 4486s | tiny bit more like another layer coming |
| 4490s | to that so maybe like more organization |
| 4492s | of actual like test Cycles or stuff like |
| 4495s | that so pretty much Daily Business uh to |
| 4500s | organize test with the team actually do |
| 4503s | the testing like writing the test plans |
| 4506s | and yeah like testing for balance |
| 4510s | testing if it's even if it's |
| 4514s | fun and then like bug reproduction when |
| 4517s | stuff comes from the community um in our |
| 4520s | forums and um you know writing yeah |
| 4524s | writing Buck reports if if I like happen |
| 4528s | to stumble upon a bug while testing |
| 4531s | that's pretty much like a rough rough |
| 4534s | rough overview about what I'm doing from |
| 4536s | day to day I think so you mean to say |
| 4539s | it's not you're just you're not just |
| 4540s | sitting down in the office and playing |
| 4542s | video games that's that's not what this |
| 4543s | is sadly sadly not sometimes that is |
| 4546s | actually what I'm |
| 4547s | doing like especially if there's like uh |
| 4551s | uh if we're going like more of the way |
| 4552s | of expl explorational testing so so um |
| 4556s | there are like new features or there's a |
| 4558s | new location that the team buildt |
| 4561s | and sometimes it's beneficial if you go |
| 4565s | in there without any knowledge uh |
| 4568s | beforehand so you're not like prejudiced |
| 4572s | to like oversee some stuff or um yeah or |
| 4577s | you think this works like that and that |
| 4580s | why I interact in that way with it um so |
| 4583s | this can be beneficial just going in |
| 4586s | blind so to say yeah ni and and that's |
| 4590s | those are the times when I actually just |
| 4592s | sit down with a game and try to play it |
| 4595s | as if I would play any other |
| 4597s | game that's awesome so just the way that |
| 4600s | you'd play any other game so it |
| 4603s | definitely seems that diving into such a |
| 4605s | role you're going to have to have some |
| 4607s | type of experience so let's just roll |
| 4610s | that into the next question of what is |
| 4613s | your experience what's your background |
| 4614s | where did you come from and how in the |
| 4616s | world did you wind up |
| 4618s | here yeah I mean a little bit of luck is |
| 4621s | always part of it but like to my |
| 4623s | background think like first and foremost |
| 4625s | I've been a gamer all my life I think |
| 4627s | that's |
| 4628s | not like necessary to fill in this |
| 4632s | position but it definitely helps when it |
| 4635s | comes to my like educational background |
| 4638s | I studied something called media |
| 4641s | computer science it's pretty much |
| 4643s | computer science with like |
| 4645s | some more creative stuff on the side |
| 4649s | during my studies I also had like my |
| 4652s | first internship um at a gaming company |
| 4656s | uh that was called good game studios um |
| 4659s | and there I already worked in QA and |
| 4663s | like near the end of my studies me and |
| 4666s | two my friends we um we funded our own |
| 4670s | game studio um and because we wanted to |
| 4673s | create games and we were Crea like tiny |
| 4676s | mobile games stuff where you like could |
| 4679s | do like one input and tried our luck |
| 4683s | with that and because we would need to |
| 4687s | earn money on the side we all worked in |
| 4689s | different places or different areas and |
| 4693s | for me it was uh web development I |
| 4696s | started to work for an agency that would |
| 4699s | build like websites and they I also |
| 4702s | worked in QA and then after some time in |
| 4705s | qm when the team and our processes got |
| 4709s | like more complex or bigger um yeah and |
| 4713s | now I mean I'm still pretty fresh to the |
| 4717s | rfg family so for the last one and a |
| 4720s | half years I've now been working here I |
| 4723s | had no idea that you were a part of a |
| 4726s | small couplan group you said you just |
| 4728s | with your friend you started up your own |
| 4731s | how long were you doing that before you |
| 4733s | kind of transitioned more into the |
| 4734s | gaming industry yeah we did that for I |
| 4736s | think like five years five to six years |
| 4740s | um yeah because it was not like full |
| 4743s | time and mostly on the |
| 4746s | side like besides our actual jobs um |
| 4751s | yeah but I think we pumped out I if I |
| 4755s | remember correctly I think like four |
| 4757s | projects or four titles in the end that |
| 4760s | we released to IOS and Android during |
| 4763s | that time I thought I I don't want to |
| 4765s | spend like all my life or like my whole |
| 4768s | day just with game development and |
| 4772s | therefore I thought it would be a good |
| 4774s | idea to actually do something different |
| 4776s | and therefore I went into like web |
| 4779s | development and after it stopped and |
| 4782s | after I've been working in Vib |
| 4784s | development like for seven to eight |
| 4786s | years I thought I really would like get |
| 4790s | back to uh to to game development |
| 4792s | because come back how come back that's |
| 4795s | that's kind of where my passion lies so |
| 4797s | yeah um so that was one of the reasons |
| 4801s | um I ended up here I guess that's great |
| 4804s | wow that's that's a a pretty remarkable |
| 4806s | story honestly and yeah I mean even with |
| 4809s | over or around five years of doing that |
| 4812s | you say that there was limited success |
| 4814s | there but man that had to have been a |
| 4816s | lot of experience under your belt in |
| 4818s | order to bring you to Rockfish games |
| 4821s | today so with that being said I am kind |
| 4823s | of curious what were some of those more |
| 4825s | challenging aspects of uh not only what |
| 4829s | you're doing here at Rockfish but what |
| 4831s | you were even doing in this learning |
| 4833s | process to get here yeah I mean when it |
| 4837s | comes |
| 4838s | to like QA or qm in general I think it's |
| 4845s | mostly with this line of work it's a |
| 4848s | it's kind of a big information game like |
| 4850s | the more information you have the the |
| 4852s | better you can actually like |
| 4855s | test something because you know the |
| 4857s | interactions and with a game like |
| 4860s | everspace 2 I mean we are such a small |
| 4863s | team with such a big and complex game so |
| 4868s | pretty much the most challenging thing |
| 4870s | about us is like how complex it is and |
| 4873s | to actually try to |
| 4876s | foresee every connection there is when |
| 4879s | you like integrate a new attribute for |
| 4883s | one weapon and you think yeah that |
| 4884s | should be fine and then you like oh no |
| 4886s | wait there was this this other thing |
| 4889s | that we need to think about and that's |
| 4891s | pretty much just just one yeah just one |
| 4895s | yeah and I think oh yeah that would be |
| 4898s | that would be quite all right but like |
| 4900s | if you write it down and then you have |
| 4902s | like I don't know like 15 test cases for |
| 4904s | just one thing and you're like that's a |
| 4906s | lot and so that's pretty much I think |
| 4909s | like one of the most challenging things |
| 4911s | like in in this line of work those were |
| 4915s | the most challenging aspects of diving |
| 4916s | in what have been some of the most |
| 4919s | rewarding aspects of diving into this |
| 4922s | rule in this case for me it's like |
| 4925s | there's a bug popping up um that's |
| 4929s | really obscure you have no |
| 4932s | idea where it comes from or what's yeah |
| 4935s | how how can this happen and then you |
| 4938s | like going step by step and you figure |
| 4941s | out what the actual cause is and where |
| 4944s | it comes from from that feels very |
| 4947s | satisfying yeah especially if you have |
| 4949s | like situations where there's like one |
| 4951s | like this one bit of info coming from |
| 4954s | the community that somebody for some |
| 4956s | reason like found out this tiny thing |
| 4959s | and then you like my God everything |
| 4961s | makes sense |
| 4964s | now oh yeah yeah yeah that sounds about |
| 4968s | right that's great oh that's that's |
| 4969s | awesome so what's the best thing about |
| 4972s | working here at Rockfish games I I'm |
| 4976s | currently working on a title that I |
| 4979s | would personally play um I also before I |
| 4983s | started working at Rockfish I uh I |
| 4986s | already purchased the space to so uh I |
| 4989s | already put my own money down so to say |
| 4992s | um you were already in and it's I was |
| 4995s | already invested and it's really really |
| 4997s | really really satisfying and just really |
| 5001s | cool to work on on a title like that |
| 5005s | where you like where you are passionate |
| 5007s | about where that matters to you and I |
| 5010s | think that's like one of my favorite |
| 5012s | Parts like except for all the other good |
| 5015s | stuff like working with extremely |
| 5017s | talented and nice people and like having |
| 5023s | having people like sitting on top yeah a |
| 5027s | lot of freedom in our decisions and how |
| 5029s | we want to create the game and also a |
| 5032s | lot of trust which is also super awesome |
| 5035s | with this being this workspace |
| 5037s | environment that has been so |
| 5040s | um powerful for you that has enabled you |
| 5043s | in such a way um now I want to take even |
| 5046s | one more step back and looking at this |
| 5050s | bigger picture of where you came from |
| 5052s | what type of games were you actually |
| 5054s | playing at that time and are even |
| 5056s | currently playing now |
| 5060s | H like at that time um if I think about |
| 5064s | at that time time like I had a |
| 5066s | especially like during my studies I had |
| 5068s | a really intensive like uh League of |
| 5071s | League of Legends phas where doesn't |
| 5076s | everyone but it was it was |
| 5079s | unhealthy |
| 5083s | does yeah but currently um currently I'm |
| 5088s | playing uh World of Warcraft uh the war |
| 5091s | within which just released a month ago |
| 5094s | but |
| 5095s | kind of getting to the point where I've |
| 5098s | seen all the content um done everything |
| 5100s | there is to do so that's starting to |
| 5103s | fade out slightly uh I actually started |
| 5107s | yesterday |
| 5108s | playing Diablo 4 vessel of hatred um so |
| 5112s | far so good also like World of Warcraft |
| 5114s | and probably like Path of Exile one of |
| 5117s | my like most played games um ever uh |
| 5123s | also very much looking forward to The |
| 5125s | Path of Exile 2 Early Access release uh |
| 5127s | next November this is also not super |
| 5130s | small but like C of the lamb for for |
| 5133s | example um I I just got because like |
| 5137s | some of my colleagues are like huge |
| 5139s | puzzle uh Enthusiast I just got into |
| 5142s | like Baba ISU that I checked out like |
| 5146s | Dave the diver which was also probably |
| 5148s | like relatively big same goes for |
| 5151s | hardest too um yeah I don't know there |
| 5156s | lots of stuff excellent okay yeah you're |
| 5159s | definitely showing that you're very well |
| 5161s | seasoned so with with all of these games |
| 5163s | in mind including ospace 2 which you |
| 5165s | know you invested your time in you made |
| 5167s | that purchase and you know afterwards |
| 5169s | you then joined the team um here's a |
| 5171s | here's a more direct question for you if |
| 5174s | you could have only worked on just one |
| 5178s | game what would that have been I think |
| 5181s | on an like on a level of what do I play |
| 5186s | myself then the question or then the |
| 5188s | answer would Pro probably be something |
| 5190s | like Path of Exile or Diablo but when it |
| 5193s | comes |
| 5195s | to um my professional work like in QA or |
| 5200s | qm then I would probably |
| 5204s | choose some like really big open world |
| 5208s | title like something like The Witcher or |
| 5212s | like any Rockstar game just because I |
| 5214s | would be very curious how they approach |
| 5218s | like testing games of that magnitude of |
| 5222s | that |
| 5223s | complexity um ever Space 2 is already |
| 5225s | very complex but yeah these these are |
| 5229s | like even bigger and like have even more |
| 5233s | details you have to look into so yeah |
| 5237s | that would be probably very |
| 5239s | interesting that I think that would be |
| 5241s | really interesting especially with |
| 5242s | everything that we've learned about you |
| 5244s | through this little interview um just |
| 5246s | how detail oriented you are and how you |
| 5248s | love cracking open the problems of a of |
| 5252s | a game and then finding solutions to |
| 5254s | them whether it's a couple days later or |
| 5255s | even months it sounds like such a huge |
| 5257s | success so I understand why you would |
| 5259s | choose something like you know a |
| 5261s | rockstar game um but also it's great to |
| 5264s | see you being able to put your efforts |
| 5267s | into this rock uh rock fish team ah um |
| 5270s | for our quality assurance uh managing |
| 5274s | because through you we've been able to |
| 5275s | really re in a lot of these components |
| 5277s | for a large space of everspace 2 so |
| 5282s | thank you for all of the work that |
| 5283s | you've done and thanks for letting me |
| 5285s | ask you a bunch of questions and just |
| 5287s | responding to them on the Fly I really |
| 5288s | do appreciate that Yan I mean thanks for |
| 5291s | having |
| 5291s | me it's my pleasure it really is it's my |
| 5294s | pleasure it's been so much fun so well |
| 5297s | that's all I have for you did you want |
| 5299s | to have any uh any closing sort of |
| 5301s | statements or anything that maybe I |
| 5303s | didn't ask that you wanted to just share |
| 5305s | before we go no I mean pretty much just |
| 5309s | maybe to our community like thank you |
| 5311s | for your continued support for playing |
| 5313s | the game for leaving |
| 5316s | comments um for putting the time in and |
| 5320s | enjoying it hopefully so yeah that's |
| 5324s | that's it I guess yeah that's great that |
| 5327s | is absolutely incredible well once again |
| 5329s | Jen thank you so much for uh giving us |
| 5332s | your time to answer these questions |
| 5335s | um and don't stop being |
| 5337s | awesome yeah so there you guys go that |
| 5340s | was our little fun interview with Yan |
| 5342s | I'm goingon to have Gary on the screen |
| 5343s | here for just a moment um but yeah Yan |
| 5345s | what a remarkable lad uh he's freaking |
| 5348s | awesome I mean you heard you heard it |
| 5350s | from him directly uh and it was hard to |
| 5352s | hear some of the questions that I |
| 5353s | probably asked him and again my |
| 5355s | apologies about that audio um sometimes |
| 5358s | hiccups happen we had limited time to |
| 5360s | bring the interview together and we're |
| 5362s | really thankful that we were able to do |
| 5364s | that so even though I was maybe a little |
| 5366s | hard of hearing you could directly hear |
| 5367s | him and that was the most important part |
| 5369s | uh Yan if you're watching um thank you |
| 5372s | so much for taking the time to do the |
| 5373s | interview it was a lot of fun uh |
| 5375s | especially to share what you do with |
| 5377s | everybody out here so cool absolutely so |
| 5379s | freaking cool he he has such an |
| 5382s | infectious laugh uh I do get to talk to |
| 5384s | him quite regular because I'm the one |
| 5385s | that brings him all the bugs and say Yan |
| 5387s | look we've got a problem uh and then he |
| 5389s | just laughs his way through the day uh |
| 5391s | I've never known a guy like him he he's |
| 5393s | top top top top to work with |
| 5395s | yes absolutely yeah and and so you guys |
| 5397s | get a little bit more of a sense of like |
| 5399s | how the pipeline of of these bug hunts |
| 5402s | work um whenever you guys post anything |
| 5405s | on Discord on Steam on Twitter on Tik |
| 5409s | Tok what whatever means you're using to |
| 5411s | communicate to us that something's wrong |
| 5413s | um Gary and I sometimes Lee sometimes |
| 5416s | Jeremy will grab that data and then push |
| 5419s | it to the team that's if we haven't |
| 5421s | discovered it already and that's also if |
| 5423s | we specifically like and I also run |
| 5425s | through and do test work as well as many |
| 5427s | other team members of course uh to try |
| 5429s | and find and and squish these bugs |
| 5431s | before they even make it to you all um |
| 5433s | and Jan Champions this process absolute |
| 5437s | Legend completely structures all of the |
| 5439s | reports make sure that every single one |
| 5441s | of them gets addressed and moves that |
| 5443s | through the pipeline accordingly he he |
| 5445s | truly is a legend on our team so uh look |
| 5449s | at me still tired about Yan oh my gosh |
| 5451s | he's so so incredible so but yeah so now |
| 5454s | I'm I've jumped back into the game and |
| 5457s | um we have yet another new segment that |
| 5460s | we want to bring to the table here and |
| 5462s | this one's going to be um interesting |
| 5465s | probably um I haven't ever actually |
| 5468s | completed this part of the Daredevil |
| 5470s | challenge in the upper left corner it's |
| 5472s | Daredevil complete a high-risk area |
| 5474s | without firing a primary weapon um in |
| 5476s | this segment it's basically the streamer |
| 5479s | in this case myself completing a |
| 5481s | challenge inside of the game these |
| 5483s | challenge segments by the way are going |
| 5484s | to evolve over time and sometimes we'll |
| 5487s | even have uh recommendations that you |
| 5489s | guys make we've seen that before in the |
| 5491s | past but now we're making an official |
| 5493s | segment for it all right um so starting |
| 5496s | things off um I want to see if I can do |
| 5499s | this and I intentionally made it more |
| 5501s | difficult for myself because why |
| 5502s | wouldn't I do that um with the Sentinel |
| 5504s | I'm not allowed to use the alt either |
| 5506s | since that is considered a primary |
| 5509s | weapon so I'm gimped in more than one |
| 5512s | way uh but we're going to see what we |
| 5514s | can do here so Gary thanks for having |
| 5516s | your presence here as we're in the dock |
| 5518s | um go ahead get in your hidey-hole |
| 5520s | that's perfect excellent um let's try to |
| 5523s | complete this challenge uh we've got |
| 5526s | about 20ish minutes on the clock I'm |
| 5529s | looking at to see if we can complete |
| 5531s | this |
| 5533s | task um so yeah I'm sure that there's |
| 5536s | been a lot of you guys out there who |
| 5538s | have done this multiple times you're |
| 5539s | like really this is the first time |
| 5540s | you're ever doing it yeah fully |
| 5542s | admitting I've never actually completed |
| 5544s | this challenge before um but I had to |
| 5546s | make it a little bit harder so let's see |
| 5549s | what we can do it this uh this Save By |
| 5551s | the way uh this is actually a personal |
| 5554s | save of mine why I've actually completed |
| 5556s | the entire game from start to finish |
| 5557s | every single challenge everything uh no |
| 5560s | saves you can believe me or not I don't |
| 5562s | care um I've unequipped my primaries for |
| 5565s | this um which I was using viscous and |
| 5567s | entt and XM 426 um I really like the |
| 5570s | combination they they have together um |
| 5573s | but otherwise our equipment our main |
| 5575s | sort of source of damage we're going to |
| 5577s | be using is going to be through our |
| 5578s | devices here so we have Force Forge um |
| 5582s | uh so this is going to use all three of |
| 5584s | the modifications of of the |
| 5589s | um uh magnetic Repulsor and then in |
| 5593s | addition to that we're going to be using |
| 5594s | EMP generator as well as corrosion |
| 5597s | injector to add more of that lasting |
| 5600s | damage and we also are using Parting |
| 5602s | Gift uh arguably uh |
| 5605s | underused uh device um mode honestly |
| 5609s | like these things can can dish out a |
| 5611s | pretty decent amount of |
| 5612s | damage and considering we're not allowed |
| 5614s | to use primaries I figured that this |
| 5616s | would be the direction that I would go |
| 5617s | in uh you know what |
| 5619s | let's let's make this a little bit more |
| 5622s | in our favor it's not going to do much |
| 5623s | but you know why not so uh here we go |
| 5627s | we're going to get right back into |
| 5629s | things this is our |
| 5631s | challenge we cannot use |
| 5634s | primary weapon I can't push the G button |
| 5639s | so don't tempt me it'll it'll ruin the |
| 5642s | run you don't normally press it anyway |
| 5645s | so what |
| 5646s | did nailed it oh my gosh oh all right so |
| 5651s | we've already getting some some crazies |
| 5654s | in here oh Parting Gift has connected |
| 5656s | really well I just tried to fire my |
| 5657s | weapon I'm glad that I unequipped them |
| 5660s | oh my gosh this is going to |
| 5662s | be this is going to be tricky |
| 5668s | uh that's a drone let's destroy it good |
| 5670s | good let through that corrosion real |
| 5675s | bad do we get him oh oh good good got |
| 5679s | the |
| 5686s | mine all right see if we can get him |
| 5690s | knocked out of here like that good got |
| 5692s | our corrosion injector back |
| 5695s | back big thing that I'm trying to do |
| 5697s | here is kind of Stack that corrosion |
| 5700s | injection cuz if we can take foes out um |
| 5704s | then we get it |
| 5706s | back and oh no a Teleport drone new |
| 5710s | primary target oh where did he go where |
| 5712s | did he go |
| 5715s | shoot did we hit him we missed |
| 5718s | him ah we got him nice oh that feels |
| 5724s | good H honestly those are like my |
| 5726s | biggest threat in this game I don't know |
| 5727s | about any of you folks out there like |
| 5730s | what enemy is like really causes you |
| 5733s | trouble but those teleport |
| 5735s | drones they can be they can be very |
| 5739s | devious okay now we've got an elite |
| 5743s | torment oh come |
| 5749s | on do I have enough time to grab and |
| 5752s | throw please say yes |
| 5757s | doesn't look like I connected here let's |
| 5759s | mess you up and then mess you up some |
| 5762s | more I missed oh goodness |
| 5769s | gra |
| 5771s | boom didn't hit as hard as I would have |
| 5777s | liked but something that's really nice |
| 5779s | about the other equipment on this ship |
| 5781s | is that even though I can't fire my |
| 5784s | primary weapon you can probably tell |
| 5786s | I've been boosting almost the entire |
| 5787s | time um just to make it to where I'm |
| 5792s | safe um there's a lot of instances |
| 5796s | where I've tried this sort of in the |
| 5799s | past if you will where running out of |
| 5802s | energy just it it just it's a it |
| 5805s | completely destroys |
| 5808s | you so the Sentinel here is kind of nice |
| 5811s | in the sense that the the |
| 5816s | um the energy benefits When picking up |
| 5820s | these |
| 5821s | orbs are giving me that energy that I |
| 5827s | need oh man I I don't know if I'm going |
| 5829s | to beat this timer this is going to this |
| 5831s | is taking a |
| 5833s | while I really want to really want to |
| 5835s | see if I can pull this |
| 5839s | off I've never ever attempted this so uh |
| 5843s | any of the pilot there they've actually |
| 5844s | done it fair play yeah I'm doing it so |
| 5846s | inefficiently and I know that some |
| 5848s | people are dying inside but uh orbs are |
| 5852s | orbs are op I see from Kaza yeah orbs |
| 5854s | are the bread and butter when you're |
| 5855s | trying to stabilize and get back into |
| 5858s | the back into the |
| 5860s | fight it's so |
| 5863s | important oh no we we are actually |
| 5866s | taking damage we we got to figure out a |
| 5869s | better means to accomplish our task here |
| 5870s | cuz it's not looking good |
| 5874s | I missed those mines completely that was |
| 5877s | really |
| 5882s | bad at least we got a little bit more |
| 5886s | energy orb for us oh that's not going to |
| 5888s | work on you oh goodness |
| 5892s | gravy we got him oh we took him |
| 5895s | out that uh ramming speed Collision was |
| 5898s | totally |
| 5899s | intentional yep pled oh my gosh I'm |
| 5903s | actually really happy that that happen |
| 5905s | no okay let's try and get some of these |
| 5908s | uh weaker guys also push them around cuz |
| 5911s | they'll explode all over the |
| 5914s | place really need this guy |
| 5917s | gone here come over here let's let's |
| 5920s | just dance you and me just you and |
| 5924s | me this should be enough see you |
| 5927s | later a a I forgot how strong their |
| 5931s | Shields |
| 5932s | are oh GR |
| 5934s | erion it's okay armor gen armor regen is |
| 5937s | okay |
| 5940s | so all right let's see let's get back |
| 5943s | into The Fray a little |
| 5945s | bit honestly I'm surprised these Elite |
| 5948s | GMB Fighters are still |
| 5951s | going I feel like normally when I try um |
| 5955s | high-risk AR and you guys correct me if |
| 5957s | I'm wrong but when I try high-risk areas |
| 5959s | and there's gmbb they tend to die really |
| 5962s | fast um some surprised they're actually |
| 5964s | still alive |
| 5974s | here come on we can we can get you there |
| 5976s | we go |
| 5978s | nice one more in range oh come on oh you |
| 5982s | were so |
| 5984s | close how are you not in |
| 5989s | range that'll be |
| 5992s | enough three Elites oh |
| 5997s | gosh orbs orbs orbs we |
| 6004s | go uh go to the asteroid please thank |
| 6014s | you go you come over |
| 6018s | here Bonk I love that so much oh my gosh |
| 6022s | if if magnetic repul isn't your favorite |
| 6025s | device how I just I need to know what I |
| 6029s | gosh I just love this device so much it |
| 6031s | is so incredibly |
| 6035s | satisfying |
| 6040s | oh oh I used on a Viper corrosion |
| 6043s | injector doesn't work on |
| 6045s | vipers oh an outlaw drone carrier could |
| 6049s | be fun |
| 6058s | I can use |
| 6060s | secondaries and I save some specifically |
| 6063s | for events like |
| 6070s | this there we |
| 6072s | go probably don't want to fly through my |
| 6074s | own |
| 6079s | Minefield it's fine |
| 6086s | being a bit riskier than I ought to |
| 6089s | be that's what makes the challenge fun |
| 6091s | right |
| 6093s | right |
| 6097s | probably oh wow look at all these guys |
| 6099s | all right let's try to collect some |
| 6102s | kills good oh that was that was really |
| 6106s | good we're about halfway through oh my |
| 6108s | gosh our timer oh we got to speed things |
| 6111s | up oh this is tricky |
| 6114s | how in the world are we going to defeat |
| 6116s | the the boss oh no I didn't think this |
| 6121s | through oh jeez I got to save I got to |
| 6125s | save some of my missiles and |
| 6128s | stuff see if we can uh close the gap |
| 6132s | there we |
| 6140s | are it's kind of funny cuz I've seen |
| 6143s | some of you guys do some of these |
| 6145s | challenges in like |
| 6149s | seconds and it just it's it blows my |
| 6152s | mind like obviously I know you guys have |
| 6153s | spent a lot of time maximizing your |
| 6155s | builds and this build isn't really |
| 6156s | optimized this was this was a sort of |
| 6159s | hey let's see if we can accomplish this |
| 6162s | as a challenge Just for kicks and |
| 6165s | Giggles maybe we will maybe we |
| 6171s | won't I should have spent time |
| 6173s | optimizing |
| 6175s | but uh but here we |
| 6177s | are all right that should be enough for |
| 6180s | him o he's almost gone that should be |
| 6184s | enough |
| 6186s | nice no energy or there we |
| 6196s | go there we go |
| 6210s | Dam |
| 6213s | boom those Proto Scouts man their |
| 6215s | Shields are crazy I don't think I think |
| 6218s | he's going to survive but oh the mine |
| 6220s | got him oh nice it got him right before |
| 6221s | the corrosion injector went off so I got |
| 6223s | it back that is |
| 6229s | satisfying that was really sticking |
| 6231s | satisfying |
| 6233s | what's my greatest weapon right now |
| 6235s | asteroids asteroids are my greatest |
| 6244s | weapon that should be enough there |
| 6246s | usually my greatest adversary to be |
| 6249s | fair fair that's fair oh my gosh uhoh |
| 6254s | uhoh there we go that's good that's good |
| 6257s | everything's |
| 6261s | fine let's try to get over I I'm seeing |
| 6264s | that gmbb has been slowly getting killed |
| 6267s | off like I'm not I'm not surprised hang |
| 6270s | in there little buddy I need you to to |
| 6273s | pull them off of |
| 6274s | me oh this is this is a this is coming |
| 6277s | down to the wire |
| 6283s | honestly let's |

| 6861s | jeez this a great tutorial on how not to |
| 6863s | do these challenges yeah you're right |
| 6865s | you're right but you know what I pulled |
| 6867s | it off and therefore it's satisfying |
| 6869s | because I accomplished it in a way that |
| 6871s | wasn't meant to be done I'm gonna have |
| 6873s | Gary join me back on this the screen oh |
| 6876s | my gosh that is truly that was |
| 6879s | incredibly satisfying to accomplish so |
| 6881s | uh I am happy with |
| 6883s | that next time that well done that man |
| 6886s | next time I'm doing a different ship |
| 6888s | that I can use an alt and like dish outs |
| 6890s | and insane amounts of Damages uh |
| 6893s | second yeah yeah doing doing this one in |
| 6895s | a bomber is it's like the best way um |
| 6898s | doing a sentinel is basically the worst |
| 6900s | because you can't even use the ult oh my |
| 6903s | gosh so now a racing challenge no no no |
| 6905s | that was the one challenge for the |
| 6906s | stream that was the one challenge for |

| 6909s | quick break both Gary and I um and then |
| 6912s | we're going to come back and we are |

| 7012s | by us um and we went through and we rid |
| 7016s | them um the entire team voted on their |
| 7018s | favorites so here we have Lord Kaine |
| 7022s | this image comes from Steam you took |
| 7024s | 10th place so very well done well |
| 7027s | accomplished uh there were a lot of you |
| 7029s | that submitted but only the top 10 have |
| 7031s | made it in the Stream today so nicely |
| 7034s | done love that dreadn action shot next |
| 7038s | up we have uh me needing to select my |
| 7041s | monitor uh we have fat cat this also |
| 7044s | comes from Steam um and a nice little |
| 7049s | Adventure into the cayet nebula um |
| 7051s | actually I think that's Kay is that Cay |
| 7054s | that could also be Union uh that might |
| 7057s | be union now I'm looking at it a little |
| 7058s | bit more um but regardless wherever he's |
| 7061s | off exploring uh fat cat we really liked |
| 7064s | that shot so nice composition a nice way |
| 7067s | to compose it um I'm already going way |
| 7069s | too fast because in this segment we also |
| 7071s | want to be answering any of those |
| 7072s | questions that we've been calculating oh |
| 7074s | my gosh sorry Gary uh so go ahead and |
| 7077s | throw me a question um we'll Linger on |
| 7079s | this image and then we'll jump suit |
| 7080s | through some more uh I've just got one |
| 7083s | question lined up so if you do have any |
| 7084s | more do send them in um this one's from |
| 7086s | nomad's uh 2K over on Twitch first one |
| 7089s | of the night um he's just wondering part |
| 7093s | of the line is Venture inside |
| 7095s | procedurally generated living leviathans |
| 7097s | to reclaim lost technology and discover |
| 7100s | unique items and he's wondering does |
| 7103s | that mean every time you do this it |
| 7104s | changes I think he's asking about proced |
| 7107s | generation yes and yeah the answer to |
| 7109s | that is yes um we wanted the Leviathan |
| 7111s | to be fun and interesting and in order |
| 7113s | to make that happen from a replayable |
| 7115s | standpoint that means that it needed to |
| 7117s | be a unique experience every time that |
| 7119s | you go back through it um I can't |
| 7120s | remember how many different chambers we |
| 7122s | have in the Leviathan um but it's it is |
| 7125s | not a small number like it's not huge |
| 7127s | either it's not like we have thousands |
| 7129s | of different chambers um but the number |
| 7131s | goes into the tens like um and we have |
| 7134s | different little objectives and |
| 7135s | challenges that can occur throughout it |
| 7137s | and mixing between the different |
| 7139s | challenges and the mutators that we |
| 7140s | chose as well as the environments can |
| 7143s | create some uh unusual and some |
| 7145s | interesting spaces to be challenged by |
| 7148s | um so yeah we're pretty happy with how |
| 7149s | that's uh come around um but yeah that's |
| 7152s | that's what you would be getting if you |
| 7153s | go into the Leviathan um in that |
| 7155s | replayable um experience uh as well as |
| 7158s | being met with the uh different loot |
| 7161s | that drops unique to the Leviathan |
| 7164s | itself this next shot comes from morning |
| 7166s | night this one is from Discord um had a |
| 7170s | couple of votes this is our seventh |
