51s	doesn't sound weird
55s	[Music]

69s	hundred percent the chair
75s	goodness High barf quit dropping

281s	hello
284s	greetings
286s	welcome to everybody out there
290s	to the official Rockfish games stream I
293s	am your host Eric Schrader the community
296s	Ambassador for Rockfish games I will be
299s	guiding you through everspace 2 all the
302s	shenanigans that we've been up to
304s	including but not limited to in today's
307s	stream
308s	some new organic level design assets so
312s	we're going to be taking a venture into
314s	the authorian rift
316s	we've got a couple more riftings to do
319s	we're going to collect some random
320s	legendaries uh and we're gonna be
323s	talking about a couple of tweaks and
325s	modifications that if you guys have been
327s	talking along through the most recent
329s	streams uh are going to be adjustments
331s	pertaining to some of that stuff that
333s	you have seen also just a couple of
335s	things just to know are up and coming so
338s	that if say your Vindicator player
341s	you'll be even happier with more news
343s	that I share today gosh I feel like
346s	Vindicator players getting all the love
348s	and all of our balancing passes but uh
352s	I digress so uh yeah without further Ado
354s	we're gonna go ahead and just start
356s	diving right into this we will also have
358s	Community screenshots ah we'll also have
359s	Community screenshots at the end I don't
361s	have a tremendous number so I think
362s	we're going to reserve just the last 15
364s	minutes uh that way we can focus in on
366s	like the gameplay content and all that
368s	type of stuff also
370s	just a random ask how is the volume of
373s	the game in comparison to my voice is it
376s	yay or is it Nay please respond in the
380s	chat
381s	um and while you're answering that also
383s	note that geekbite has a bit of a sore
385s	throat situation thing going on so
388s	instead of joining me in the
389s	communications uh he's just gonna be
391s	counting your questions sending them
392s	over to a document that I have available
394s	right now so whenever we get to that
396s	question answer phase I will awkwardly
398s	be reading the question to myself and
400s	answering aloud kind of like we did uh
402s	back in the before times and it should
405s	be should still flow just fine it should
407s	still flow just fine I'm seeing lots of
408s	yays all right that's fantastic so with
413s	that being said we're gonna get right on
415s	in this do we want to do a rift first or
418s	do you guys want to see the bio samples
420s	first one or two
422s	Rift is a one bio sample Assistant two
425s	what do we want
426s	letting you start it off
433s	choose
435s	[Music]
438s	just I'm fully letting you in
442s	you determine the stream today sort of
445s	laughs
448s	okay I'm seeing I'm seeing really good
452s	variety here lots of people wanting
455s	riffs lots of people wanting the new bio
457s	samples I am going to actually tally
459s	this up because this is close uh one two
461s	three four five six seven eight nine ten
465s	eleven twelve thirteen fourteen
468s	that doesn't constant double post 13.
471s	versus one two three four five six
476s	seven
479s	so the bio samples has it let's take a
482s	look at what the team's been working on
485s	in regards to the level
488s	visuals that's what this is it's going
491s	to be a visual tour
492s	of asset updates
495s	that we've been going through the course
497s	of the game we just want to add a lot of
498s	that polish that nice clean feeling
500s	towards uh you know everything that the
504s	game has to offer and as such you know
507s	uh those visualizations are super Keen
509s	super important
511s	so we're going to uh run into this wall
513s	first then we're going to figure out
516s	where did we go okay excellent
518s	we're gonna fly right in here and just
520s	take a little tour
522s	stuff that you've seen before is right
524s	here but then we have some new sort of
526s	decorations and I'm going to be really
528s	quiet turn off my HUD and just kind of
531s	do this for a moment
545s	all right
563s	so as you can probably see and probably
565s	make out a lot more detail work has been
568s	applied
569s	to various parts of these
574s	sites
575s	look at that
579s	just to give it a more lifelike feeling
581s	and yes there are some placeholders yes
584s	because we're not done there's still
586s	going to be a couple more improvements
590s	but overall you can see just how
592s	transformative
594s	this little bitty addition these little
596s	wisps in the air as well start floating
599s	in your face
602s	we looped around I'm gonna go over here
604s	as well just to highlight the fog effect
607s	too
610s	some sort of like odor or chemical agent
612s	that these plants are releasing perhaps
617s	and this is just about one one space of
619s	mini that's getting this style of
621s	treatment
623s	revamping a lot of that original look
627s	that we had
628s	to make things stand out quite a bit
630s	more
643s	a lot of lights updated as well
646s	in fact I think that this pulsates a
648s	light yeah
649s	so pulsating lights
659s	this is kind of fun just kind of
661s	cruising just looking seeing seeing what
663s	we've been up to
666s	pretty happy with these results of
667s	course there's still a little bit more
668s	to come
674s	let me tell you what it has been a blast
677s	looking at how our assets have been
680s	coming together this is placeholder by
681s	the way you can tell because of the way
683s	it is
684s	um
686s	just looking at how the game has
687s	developed from where we started from
690s	like even doing that side-by-side
691s	comparison of Prescott Starbase I think
693s	a lot of you uh guys could see
696s	truly just how much
698s	has been changing
702s	and
704s	I want you guys to know like a lot of
706s	this a lot of these polishing passes
709s	these will continue from this point
713s	through to full release
716s	this isn't just um
718s	excuse me excuse me I'm gonna take care
721s	of this worm
724s	this is not just a matter of this coming
727s	update like we want to have uh a number
731s	of visual improvements like across the
733s	board so you're going to be seeing this
735s	scattered throughout the game
738s	and different forms
746s	could even show up in places that you
748s	least expect
754s	what do you guys think
757s	feels underwater-ish I see oh
759s	interesting
761s	we're gonna sneak on out just for a nice
763s	little breather
766s	nice little breather ah yes open space
771s	looks very nice I like it okay all right
773s	good please no odors though oh don't
776s	worry we are not using the advanced
778s	technology of piling allowing smells in
782s	a game be smellable outside of it
788s	but for the low low price of 9.99 you
791s	could purchase the smellometer attach it
793s	to your computer
800s	don't worry guys that's not a thing I'm
802s	going to clear out these redeemers just
803s	because I can
807s	and then we are going to fly into a
809s	different cave for a little bit more uh
813s	visualization of what's been going on
818s	if I remember where it's at
827s	a lot of the critters however I want to
830s	also State this just make sure that the
833s	expectations are aligned here most of
835s	these redesigns and implementations
838s	revolve around the structures of the
841s	level okay so that means like your walls
844s	and your doors and your you know some
848s	interactables on that front
850s	but stuff like the critters have not
852s	received any additional passes
855s	at this time they could there's not a
858s	guarantee
862s	but a lot of what we do actually this
864s	those might have received another pass
865s	but um my point is
868s	that a lot of what's coming to these
871s	like little like when I'm talking about
872s	a level design sort of overhaul like
875s	this
876s	that comes in a lot of different forms
878s	because as you can see we're still not
879s	done with it we're still applying more
883s	but you can see like very visible
886s	differences between where it was at last
888s	time right
890s	very visible differences
892s	the growth is now matching with and
895s	feeling like it's obscured obscuring the
897s	wall because it's growing on it instead
899s	of just kind of like an asset that's
900s	plastered on it
902s	like it's connected
907s	look at that oh
910s	is this one pulsate yeah it does
913s	pulsating lights
917s	excellent
923s	completely different feel I think from
925s	uh like what a lot of the standard
928s	gameplay looks like right
931s	you're so used to just jumping in and
933s	like blasting things to Smithereens and
935s	here we've got uh
938s	you know very dark scenes with you know
943s	who's a what's it's lurking around the
945s	corner and we're happy with the results
946s	thus far
948s	more tweaks and additions to come
952s	you can see far more you can see our
954s	vision getting realized
956s	and how we want these spaces to be
959s	presented
961s	to the player
962s	providing a certain feel
969s	we certainly don't want it to seem like
971s	you're just flying through more space it
974s	needs to stand out
976s	and so far a lot of you guys are it
979s	seems like most of you guys are
980s	satisfied
982s	is this procedurally generated I see
985s	that question I'm going to answer it
986s	right now
987s	um no it is not so our levels are
989s	actually handcrafted
991s	all of our levels every single one
994s	every single one is handcrafted
999s	with only a few exceptions that are
1003s	actually still using handcrafted
1005s	locations
1006s	but are randomly generated
1009s	for uh varying results
1013s	so what I mean by that is like there's
1015s	certain jobs and unknown signals that
1018s	can occur
1020s	that will generate
1023s	locations that you tend to not see very
1025s	frequently I think there was some goop
1027s	no no this is the wrong time
1029s	there's a goopy thing over is that over
1033s	here nope I think I've turned around
1037s	that might be all on this particular
1039s	showcase because I think I'm gonna get
1040s	lost this place is big
1044s	yeah I'm definitely lost
1046s	but you can definitely see lots of
1049s	definitely
1050s	that
1052s	there's a huge difference between where
1054s	we are at before
1055s	and where we are at now in terms of just
1058s	the biological state of everspace 2.
1075s	so yeah
1081s	isn't this nice
1083s	I could just like fly through this all
1086s	day
1089s	what I need I need an animated gift with
1091s	this actually
1095s	it's flying through the space and then
1096s	just like put that as my wallpaper
1099s	we have the technology we can do it
1104s	I also love just the light coming
1107s	through
1110s	whoo
1112s	it gives me tingles doesn't always get
1114s	tingles and you look at that oh my gosh
1116s	all right anyway
1120s	so that's our nice little Adventure
1121s	through
1122s	these new Organics
1125s	helping distinguish this space
1128s	just from especially from its exterior
1130s	like looking at these asteroids from
1131s	afar let's just do this real quick I
1134s	mean who would have expected that to be
1136s	inside of this very almost like
1139s	sandstone-esque looking Rock right
1147s	it's always more to explore
1152s	and we're happy with how it's all coming
1153s	together I hope you are too
1155s	so far results seem good
1159s	but it's been a lot of fun
1161s	um there's one other little side it's
1163s	going to be similar assets but yeah you
1165s	can see like even the entry points in
1169s	it's like you're trying to get in here
1171s	definitely has a different look
1174s	and in order to get the acid pouches you
1177s	have to go over to these little bits
1180s	if I understand it correctly these are
1183s	also going to get tweaked a bit further
1185s	so they mesh into the environment
1187s	further
1190s	and then we're going back wow look at
1192s	that
1195s	almost looks like a heart
1203s	so yeah
1204s	foreign
1209s	hello everyone entering into the stream
1211s	right now we're taking just a little
1212s	visual tour for some updates we've
1215s	applied to our space 2. anybody's
1217s	wondering why I'm kind of being more
1218s	quiet
1219s	there's not a lot to say it's just stuff
1221s	to show
1227s	mushroom
1229s	kind of
1238s	you're gonna need to get out of here
1239s	here we go
1241s	give me
1243s	there we go
1251s	and away we go
1254s	excellent we can revisit that a little
1257s	bit later in the Stream
1259s	uh but yeah overall
1263s	more work
1264s	more stops lots of things happening
1268s	if I recall correctly we also did some
1271s	tweaking to a Thor as well I didn't
1273s	actually look at this before the stream
1275s	so uh maybe this will go completely
1277s	wrong and terrible but we're gonna look
1279s	anyway
1280s	because I want to
1285s	also get to listen to some snazzy super
1287s	live music
1294s	you may also be noticing little tweaks
1297s	and UI components on the screen here and
1299s	there
1300s	at least the clever eyes out there will
1302s	that is because there are a lot of
1304s	improved systems that we have been
1306s	tweaking and refining since even last
1309s	week
1311s	we'll have more information on what
1314s	those things mean in the future
1316s	but there will be some that I can talk
1318s	about soonish
1328s	still working on more of the biology
1332s	yep
1337s	but a big goal of how we're applying
1340s	this is to make locations just a bit
1343s	more distinct from one another and
1345s	hopefully and going from
1348s	the previous a Thor location to this one
1351s	you'll see that we have entirely
1353s	different meshes set up entirely
1355s	different assets that will be using
1357s	similar
1359s	I suppose you could call it Flora
1362s	to bring everything together see look at
1363s	all this stuff that's getting prepped
1365s	all of these things
1372s	to make every location just stand out
1374s	just a little bit further like look at
1376s	these guys oh my gosh these are like
1379s	these are like my favorite things that
1380s	we've added
1382s	foreign
1400s	were you
1417s	neat
1420s	oh this is always just kind of fun to
1421s	pass through
1425s	a lot of lighting adjustments have also
1427s	been made on a lot of these assets too
1429s	so you'll see probably it looks like
1432s	there's more detail
1435s	on a number of bits that you've seen
1438s	before
1440s	just because of those additions in fact
1442s	let me uh let me get out my cheat sheet
1444s	really quick
1459s	goodness there's there's so much to talk
1461s	about
1464s	there's a lot that's been adjusted just
1466s	from a a standpoint of the the visual
1468s	side and this also comes at a uh
1472s	convenience
1473s	a lot of these instances that are being
1476s	applied a lot of these tricks that we're
1478s	utilizing not only is this making the
1481s	game look prettier at least we think so
1485s	this is also reducing that overarching
1489s	load on your machines that's right these
1491s	These implementations are actually more
1495s	optimized
1497s	than what you currently have
1500s	crazy
1501s	crazy how this works
1508s	crazy how it works and all comes
1510s	together
1514s	all right
1522s	foreign
1524s	texture on the mushrooms uh yeah some of
1527s	the some of the detail work is not final
1530s	um this is mostly a showcase like
1532s	especially the ones that don't have
1533s	textures on them at all right
1537s	mainly showing just how much additional
1540s	attention we are providing
1542s	to these layouts
1546s	to make them pop even more and while
1549s	this particular showcase today is
1551s	primarily on the organic side of things
1554s	I can absolutely assure you that there
1557s	are a series of passes going across the
1562s	mechanical of everspace 2 as well
1565s	and that's not just limited to
1567s	environments either
1569s	that's not just limited to environments
1573s	so yeah
1574s	I do see a couple questions coming in
1575s	that's great keep asking those questions
1577s	we will answer them uh probably here in
1580s	about 10 minutes
1583s	probably in about 10 minutes I'm gonna
1584s	go back over uh
1586s	over here because I think there was
1587s	another site that has a little bit of
1589s	uniqueness I want to see if I can
1590s	remember where it's at
1598s	maybe take out this Redeemer Inquisitor
1600s	because I can
1606s	yeah he's gonna he's gonna fall pretty
1608s	fast I think
1611s	I hope
1615s	there's no maybe
1637s	that moment when the music lines up with
1639s	your shops
1642s	all right
1647s	anyway
1649s	let's grab some stuff
1651s	now I'm completely turn around I'm not
1652s	gonna find this anyway you guys get the
1654s	gist we've added a lot of biological
1656s	assets we wanted to make sure that the
1658s	game Space just feels really good
1659s	standing out uh we ventured in here
1662s	already but that's fine just one more
1664s	quick pass and kind of see where it's
1666s	all at
1667s	yeah don't bite me please
1670s	here we go
1674s	feeling good about it
1681s	and more to come
1684s	more still coming
1686s	neat
1694s	plus 25 damage and Rhythm oh my god
1698s	well that just gave us a pretty quick
1701s	idea on a legendary
1703s	I'm sure Gyro's gonna be like uh we
1706s	can't Implement that
1710s	that's just asking for a number of of
1713s	troubles from a technical standpoint we
1715s	can dream but uh probably not gonna
1717s	happen sorry
1719s	oh my gosh
1723s	rhythm-based legendary weapon
1727s	sounds awesome but what a nightmare to
1729s	implement
1735s	you guys are fun I like you
1741s	foreign
1745s	over here yes yes no no wrong cave
1750s	I have a little bit
1753s	a little bit over here
1754s	and this is the jellies yeah
1757s	hello jellies
1765s	excellent
1770s	so yeah
1772s	quite a bit on that front to look
1774s	forward to and um you know just as since
1776s	we're kind of like talking about
1776s	Organics as a whole like of course a lot
1780s	of kite nebula is going to receive uh
1783s	those updates but uh we are planning on
1786s	revamping you know the biology
1788s	throughout the game at a series of other
1790s	locations too so
1792s	just because uh I'm only showing it here
1795s	in The Kite nebula it doesn't mean it's
1797s	exclusive there we at Rockfish do use
1801s	the asset production very efficiently so
1806s	that way we're not wasting time and
1808s	development and what I mean by that is
1811s	it comes down to a lot of asset reusing
1814s	right
1815s	but we can stylize it in unique ways you
1817s	know as you can kind of even see from
1819s	that point
1820s	um the planet athon versus the authorian
1822s	fault they still have unique stylization
1825s	even though they have similar biology
1828s	and that's how we kind of approach all
1830s	aspects of the game so even stuff like
1832s	the tutorial for example
1835s	you'll see these new updated assets
1838s	appearing all over the place
1840s	all over the place just given a much
1842s	greater feel
1847s	yeah
1848s	I might start the questions early
1849s	because I see a couple in and what we
1851s	could do here is we can answer those
1854s	questions specifically about this
1855s	biology
1857s	and then we can dive into rips which it
1860s	does seem like lots of you guys are
1862s	interested in guys and gals
1866s	so let's get just a nice little visual
1869s	look staring at uh some biology here
1873s	because that's always fun
1881s	we'll probably get a bug or two on
1883s	screen
1890s	all right so
1893s	I've got a couple questions here
1895s	starting with Bill Farson
1898s	from YouTube the question is given that
1902s	okar frigates aren't making a comeback
1904s	in everspace 2 who says
1907s	could we get the cad files for those
1909s	awesome ships for 3D printing
1911s	um that's an interesting question
1913s	on a number of accounts uh because first
1916s	off we are not completely finished with
1918s	the game so uh
1921s	they might appear they might not who
1923s	knows I certainly don't I don't have a
1926s	clue and regarding CAD files this is
1929s	something I've seen come up a number of
1931s	times
1932s	uh allow me to defend myself hang on
1935s	we've seen this we've seen those
1937s	questions a number of times not like a
1940s	like a crazy amount but still like there
1942s	are some of you guys out there who are
1943s	like really tech savvy with 3D printing
1946s	and stuff and it's cool
1948s	don't get me wrong
1950s	there are some
1953s	we'll just call it some legal aspects of
1956s	that whole process that would be rather
1959s	challenging to push through the doors
1963s	and as such it is not likely that we
1966s	would be passing off any sort of CAD
1967s	files for 3D printing of the everspace 2
1970s	assets that being said please note that
1974s	this is something of a conversation
1976s	we've had in the past internally so it
1979s	could change like maybe there's going to
1982s	be new opportunities down the line with
1983s	merchandising I don't know and
1985s	legitimately I don't we legitimately
1988s	don't either that's going to come down
1989s	to
1990s	a lot of
1992s	deal making and Logistics sparing
1996s	nightmares uh so yeah I would absolutely
2000s	not expect that whatsoever from our team
2004s	but I do love the question I love the
2005s	design so thank you thank you for asking
2008s	that question
2009s	all right so question from twitch T3
2012s	Cube are you guys thinking about adding
2014s	liquid balls of water into the areas
2016s	with plant life
2018s	that's a curious question I mean it
2020s	would make sense for there to be some
2022s	sort of liquidus byproducts or just
2026s	inherent sustenance for this type of uh
2030s	you know existence to occur so you know
2033s	it's not necessarily on the table but I
2036s	could see something like that occur so
2040s	can't really say that it's going to
2041s	happen
2042s	but I like the thought YouTube Bearded
2045s	Frog asks speaking of a Thor 1 is there
2048s	any plan to reduce the scanner clutter
2050s	uh actually yes there is
2053s	um having the spores show up as
2054s	containers on the scanner makes it
2055s	insanely annoying to find resources
2057s	puzzle stuff there
2059s	yeah so there have been additional
2061s	tweaks to the scanner clutter and while
2063s	it's not uh necessarily visible
2066s	um in our current stream not because I
2068s	have a disabled but like you can see the
2070s	Clutter here like this is a really easy
2071s	example of showcasing this where you
2074s	have like deposits you've got spores
2076s	you've got shipwrecks and you can't tell
2077s	the difference between a Spore and a
2078s	shipwreck and I think that's something
2079s	that you all would like very much like
2081s	to have we recognize that
2085s	um and
2087s	a number of the tweaks pertaining to
2090s	the UI here and what's being shown when
2093s	it's being shown you know we've done a
2096s	number of passes already to the game
2097s	like for example this titanium deposit
2099s	we know is not inside of this cave
2102s	because it's lighter right and if we zip
2105s	out of this cave just to show for
2107s	anybody who doesn't know this when we
2109s	zip out watch the UI change
2113s	most of the UI turned gray because it's
2116s	inside so we do have this visualization
2119s	of knowing what's inside versus outside
2124s	and uh more tweaks like that are
2126s	absolutely on the way and I can say that
2129s	because we've even had internal
2131s	discussions pertaining to this style of
2134s	clutter you know if we made a lot of
2135s	adjustments to like neutral enemies
2139s	um the old car that are patrolling
2141s	lots of that it's both based on our
2145s	desire to make sure this clutter doesn't
2147s	become overwhelming which it can at
2149s	times
2151s	as well as the player feedback we've
2153s	received pertaining to this club
2157s	oh yeah I think that's
2160s	this is just going to be one of those
2162s	elements that's a kind of a growing pain
2164s	where you have to deal with it until we
2166s	get some more tweaks done to it
2168s	but there will be more tweaks there will
2171s	be more adjustments
2173s	so good question
2176s	next question we have comes from Wizard
2178s	Jerry on YouTube speaking of The
2180s	Inquisitor did he get any weak points
2183s	now no he has not received any weak
2185s	points uh at this time that is something
2187s	for those of you who missed this point
2189s	of conversation and wondering wait which
2191s	one's the Inquisitor that's the uh
2193s	that's the big Redeemer vessel that we
2196s	saw earlier that we took out
2199s	those guys at one point we'd mentioned
2201s	that we would love to add hardpoints to
2203s	them and technically speaking we still
2205s	would
2206s	but we also have to make sure we're
2208s	hitting other Prime categories of uh
2211s	gameplay features first before we go
2214s	back and add a lot of those fun ones
2217s	the presentation of level design is
2219s	incredibly important to us and obviously
2221s	the gameplay experiences too uh the
2224s	process of going through each one of
2226s	these aspects
2228s	you know it takes time we still have
2230s	said time before the 1.0 release so I
2234s	hope that you guys will be as excited as
2235s	I am when we continue navigating that
2237s	space and applying those elements
2240s	accordingly
2242s	YouTube we've got from Excelsior as well
2244s	who is creating the Unreal Engine for
2246s	material Assets in the team they are AAA
2248s	Plus quality
2250s	um that is a fantastic question I know
2252s	Tony's had a lot of uh experience
2255s	working on those assets I would have to
2257s	uh
2258s	I'd have to like Grill some team members
2260s	to know who else has been uh touching
2263s	their hands on everything because
2264s	there's you know it's not just a matter
2266s	of like we give something to one person
2267s	on a team so like you're the only one
2269s	who's gonna do this good luck right like
2271s	we we trade hands we are wearing a lot
2273s	of hats around here uh just to make sure
2275s	it all comes together nicely
2277s	so it's hard to just give one person all
2280s	the credit in fact it's impossible to do
2282s	so
2283s	um especially in terms of like how we're
2285s	bouncing off feedback between one
2286s	another uh to bring it all together
2289s	but uh I do think that Tony would be the
2293s	uh the big dog if you will in regards to
2296s	a lot of these asset changes and and uh
2299s	revamps
2303s	but yeah
2306s	we have a couple more questions that I'm
2309s	going to knock through and then we will
2311s	go into a rift
2314s	I know that realism isn't a focus but is
2318s	there any explanation as to how these
2320s	creatures and spores Etc do survive
2322s	function in space how does their biology
2324s	function
2325s	um that also comes from Bearded Frog and
2327s	let me tell you what I would love to
2329s	tell you more about like the various
2330s	data that we'd have on say something
2333s	like uh I don't know maybe systems or
2337s	conditions or resources and
2341s	and just you know little things like
2343s	that but um definitely
2347s	that's definitely something that we want
2348s	to ensure you know makes a cohesive
2350s	whole
2351s	with this world building it like with
2354s	everything that's added there needs to
2356s	be some semblance of uh making sense of
2360s	it right
2361s	and so through that process we of course
2364s	want to make sure that these creatures
2366s	these spores you know all that type of
2367s	stuff do make sense
2370s	um and the coyote nebula has always been
2371s	a space that's teeming with life from
2375s	the very beginning of its finding
2377s	through the colonial exploration and
2380s	encountering the okar
2382s	always been a rich source of biological
2385s	nightmares and fuel
2388s	if you uh if you will
2392s	we have I'm going to do one more
2394s	actually we're gonna do two more
2395s	questions and then we will move on so
2398s	this next one comes from Tavis YouTube
2400s	from YouTube
2402s	and the question is what are the chances
2404s	of implementing a vampire survivors or
2407s	avoid Scrappers type game node it seems
2409s	pretty quick to implement and would be
2411s	insanely fun
2420s	respectfully
2423s	I don't think it would be very quick to
2426s	implement I think that if you have a
2429s	desire to go for survival horde
2434s	gameplay you'll want to look towards
2437s	those styles of games that provide it
2440s	everspace 2 has never had the intention
2442s	to be designed in that sense survival
2446s	horde games have existed for a very long
2448s	time far before vampire survivors
2451s	um and you know if vampire survivors
2453s	kind of got you on that kick I just look
2455s	up what those uh seem like and dive into
2459s	that it's just not something you're
2460s	gonna get from the everspace 2
2462s	experience and it's not something we
2464s	desire to add as either a mini game or
2467s	add a challenge or anything we do have a
2470s	couple of challenges where you have to
2473s	defeat waves after waves after waves and
2474s	stuff you know kind of like riffs for
2476s	example but unfortunately that
2479s	implementation especially regarding
2482s	an upgrade tree formula and then also
2486s	restarting all of that that could be
2489s	yeah like you're
2491s	that's more going into the everspace one
2493s	formula so yeah I would say if you like
2497s	the closest you're gonna get to it that
2499s	style of formula to everspace two uh
2502s	it's gonna actually be overspace one
2506s	um
2507s	but yeah that's uh that's still a bit of
2510s	a long shot I'm sure you know that so
2513s	all right uh last question comes from
2517s	Tomas papaj I think
2521s	also from YouTube If I butcher that
2523s	username feel free to let me know I love
2525s	it will there be more friendly creatures
2526s	like Shadow creatures oh I love this
2528s	question let me tell you what I would
2531s	love to share with you uh uh like all of
2534s	the creature ideas that we've had since
2536s	the beginning versus which ones are uh
2540s	you know have made it in and the ones
2541s	that we would potentially like to still
2543s	include you know we have tons of them
2545s	out there
2546s	we really do and more friendly creatures
2550s	is always fun it's always Pleasant you
2552s	know cute little fluffy things that
2553s	bounce around you know whatever
2556s	um I think everybody everybody likes a a
2559s	tamed round boy just you know in their
2563s	presence
2565s	fluffy kitty whatever
2569s	but uh at this point in time
2571s	if we will be adding more Critters
2574s	those will be more in like a Content
2578s	pack style of reveal sort of thing
2581s	as opposed to uh something I could
2584s	really talk about uh either in shorter
2587s	at length here
2589s	so there's definitely the potential for
2591s	more especially as you know
2593s	there's more environments to build upon
2596s	that we've showcased
2599s	among other things
2600s	and uh
2603s	yeah we'll just see where it goes
2605s	we'll just see where it goes all right I
2607s	believe that's the last question to
2609s	answer for now yes
2612s	so that is good love those questions
2616s	keep up the questions
2618s	um if you have any whatsoever
2620s	go ahead and shoot it right into the
2621s	chat I'll try to to pick it up as best I
2624s	can and then I'll also you know
2626s	facilitate these responses and we do
2628s	have a couple team members in chat
2629s	including but not limited to our CEO
2632s	Michael in the chat pretty freaking
2636s	awesome who is also going to be
2637s	answering questions here and there
2639s	because sometimes I don't give exact
2641s	responses or it just needs a little
2643s	addition and he's the dude to do this
2645s	right because he's the boss in fact he
2648s	has one piece of clarity for uh the
2650s	environment materials uh and so I'm
2652s	going to read this aloud he says that
2654s	the environment materials are mostly
2656s	made by Marco so I was off uh he's
2659s	Marco's our lead technical artist and
2661s	malty who's our senior 3D environment
2664s	and props artist
2666s	Tony is our lead level designer so he's
2669s	going to be the one who more uh sculpts
2672s	how these environments need to uh
2676s	feel and flow for the player to
2678s	encounter
2679s	um
2680s	and then together with marf he puts all
2683s	the Assets in place and Designs all the
2685s	puzzles too so there you can see like
2688s	just a simple quick understanding of
2691s	like we have the asset generation on one
2693s	side we have the level generation on
2695s	another we have props and yet another
2697s	one like all of these things coming
2699s	together to enrich that experience as a
2701s	whole
2702s	and we have the level design associated
2705s	with puzzles which I think is incredibly
2707s	important to do for all of you
2709s	developers out there that way that the
2711s	levels are designed for the puzzles as
2713s	opposed to designing a level and then
2716s	shoving in a puzzle that might may or
2718s	may not really fit like it needs to be
2720s	worked in Tandem and that's how we kind
2721s	of operate on that front so thank you
2723s	for the clarity on that Michael I really
2725s	appreciate it so without further Ado
2727s	let's dive into some riffs and see if we
2729s	can find some more legendaries
2734s	I keep looking there's this button on my
2736s	shirt that keeps popping off
2738s	whew
2741s	so if you're wondering why I'm doing
2742s	this somebody said he adjusts his tie
2744s	not really adjusting the tie it's a
2746s	button silly button
2748s	so this is the ship that we did have
2750s	from last week
2752s	um with relatively few changes a couple
2755s	of UI improvements that you can see here
2757s	so I'm diving into the whole Rift
2760s	conversation we will start bleeding into
2762s	legendaries as well but first let's put
2765s	all of our Focus
2766s	on these refs because we have a new
2768s	little system to highlight
2771s	so you all understand more of the vision
2774s	we have
2776s	for these riffs unlock to level 25. that
2779s	was just added to the build today
2780s	perfect
2782s	so our level is too low
2785s	to open these riffs
2788s	so you know what that means you all need
2790s	to look away as I do absolutely nothing
2793s	uh into the game Space I'm just gonna go
2795s	grind really quickly I got a nice space
2797s	in the game to do so so one second
2799s	everything's great
2800s	everything's perfect
2803s	no big deal
2807s	also it's a great time to mention that
2809s	we are on a number of social media
2811s	platforms so if you have an interest in
2815s	following us from other locations other
2817s	than just like watching YouTube you want
2819s	information as soon as it drops you can
2822s	of course follow any of those places
2825s	that are appearing on screen right now
2827s	before you
2829s	it is a good old time
2832s	good old time
2836s	one second we're almost done
2839s	[Music]
2854s	and we're back oh my gosh guys that
2857s	grind was insane I went and did 70 000
2861s	jobs I am just really impressed with
2863s	myself
2864s	um so anyway speedrun strats aside
2867s	um let's go ahead and grab our level 25
2869s	for hmm
2872s	I do like reflecting damage I think
2875s	we're gonna go ahead and fly in the
2876s	striker for at least the first one and
2877s	then we can change ships around
2879s	uh let's see
2881s	nope never mind we're doing exploitation
2883s	increase critical hit chance when
2885s	attacking enemies whose movement is
2886s	impaired and the reason for that is
2888s	because we have a natural impedement to
2891s	movement right here
2894s	30 increased boost speed while under
2895s	missile lock and our Precision is okay
2898s	it's not the most amazing thing ever
2901s	but it should work we do have two
2904s	legendaries on we have the same ones
2906s	that we had before the toxic Revenger
2909s	which adds stacks of corrosion the more
2911s	damage our Shield takes and eye of the
2913s	storm which makes all of our secondary
2915s	weapons critical hit while our alt is
2918s	below 50 percent
2921s	neat
2922s	now
2924s	let's do a raft
2932s	you'll see a couple of tweaks from last
2935s	week's stream
2937s	the most important one to talk about is
2940s	this well it's kind of hard to read here
2944s	but also just to talk about it you
2948s	probably are noticing differences in
2949s	values this is going to be something
2950s	that's constantly tweaked and adjusted
2952s	for you know until we hit the update and
2955s	probably even after the update based on
2956s	player feedback and whatnot because you
2958s	know that I have expressed very
2960s	sincerely that we want the highest level
2962s	lunacy to be a major challenge to you in
2966s	the game
2967s	a major challenge so lots of tweaking to
2971s	still go through those
2973s	so here this little tears of the Mad
2976s	used thing
2978s	if we read this line it says use tears
2980s	of the mat to increase the chances to
2982s	100 this is referring to finding a
2985s	legendary item so as you're going
2988s	through these locations you have a
2991s	chance to gain tears of the map from
2994s	various enemies and if you add the tears
2996s	it completely changes legendary
2999s	equipment from whatever it's at to
3001s	guaranteed
3002s	absolute guarantee
3005s	so we are going to be running this at
3006s	250 I should be fine especially with two
3009s	legendaries equipped
3010s	um
3011s	and we're going to ensure that we get a
3014s	legendary item to drop
3015s	because that's fun
3018s	right getting legendaries is fun
3021s	and yeah so we're gonna go ahead and
3023s	open it up
3030s	away we go
3044s	foreign
3048s	as a reminder whenever you enter a rift
3050s	everything on your ship becomes locked
3055s	all becomes locked so even if you were
3057s	to find something that was incredibly
3059s	useful and you're like oh man I want to
3061s	cycle that over you can't
3063s	you you can't do it it doesn't allow you
3065s	to
3067s	and you can't until you are kicked back
3069s	out of the rift
3071s	the good news is that there are
3073s	literally zero ramifications for failing
3075s	a rift uh other than losing tears of the
3079s	mad that maybe you spent to force a
3082s	legendary to drop
3084s	so uh provided your in the safe Zone on
3088s	that front you'll see that
3093s	there won't be too many issues impeding
3096s	upon your progress
3102s	the intent behind locking these Goods is
3104s	to ensure
3106s	you have intentionality behind your
3108s	build
3111s	because if you don't it can
3114s	it can hurt you can hurt you quite a lot
3116s	especially the higher lunacy that you go
3118s	to
3141s	stocks of corrosion all right all right
3145s	I should top him off
3153s	some really good movement speed out of
3155s	that all right
3157s	and we're gonna spread the love with all
3159s	of our devices which should for the most
3162s	part disable
3164s	bulk of these foes
3173s	good good
3181s	ouch
3194s	this might be a short-lived Rift all
3196s	right
3203s	I found that these tormentors are
3207s	rather dangerous as of late I think we
3209s	may have bucked them
3211s	Maybe
3213s	legitimately not sure I haven't checked
3214s	the patch notes on them specifically
3223s	I'm more drone no thank you all right
3234s	we'll be working in a couple of other
3235s	additions to the riffs including some
3237s	new uh enemies that weren't generating
3240s	before it's nothing that is really like
3243s	crazy and stuff that you probably would
3245s	have expected from the beginning before
3247s	like uh say the oak R Prime for example
3249s	so now we can see the oak R Prime uh
3252s	dive in with us
3254s	we can also see the various
3257s	um oh
3259s	we can also see the various aspects of
3262s	the um
3265s	faction-based support units now apply to
3269s	All Enemies so for example if there's
3274s	like a redeemer
3277s	that is
3279s	um
3280s	a Retaliator Shield drone so they
3283s	provide the uh the shields right to
3286s	Retaliator ships now they can actually
3288s	provide that Frost shield to any enemy
3292s	that's nearby them
3297s	whoo
3298s	that was close
3303s	but we got it
3308s	I'm sure you're also seeing a couple
3310s	other little tweaks that we've included
3312s	so like whenever you're nearing the end
3314s	of the rift you start seeing the rift
3315s	you start to pull back on you uh you're
3317s	gonna see a lot of little UI adjustments
3319s	and tweaks like that as we continue
3320s	through uh the Riff design
3324s	Let's see we got increased movement
3327s	speed that's gonna hurt us enemy drop
3328s	mine that's also going to hurt us every
3329s	time it is destroyed all their enemies
3331s	present are repaired
3334s	I think we have to go gonna take the
3335s	mines
3338s	I think we're gonna have to take the
3339s	mines
3344s	ouch
3350s	excellent
3352s	somebody's making fun of my use of my
3354s	blaster
3355s	um using it against armor
3358s	um yeah that's definitely
3360s	definitely a problematic
3363s	and the scatter guns damaged oh gosh
3369s	this Rift is not looking in our favor
3372s	but we'll see how it goes
3384s	seeing some unique questions being asked
3387s	but I will get to those questions in our
3388s	next question segment
3390s	um
3391s	I'm hoping to complete this run uh
3394s	maybe we won't maybe our build is not up
3397s	to stuff
3400s	and it's not going to go in our favor
3402s	like I was hoping it would
3408s	try and get this Raider down
3411s	don't particularly want to be Weber
3414s	missiled
3420s	good
3426s	foreign
3443s	I think I would have died if I would
3444s	have stayed there yikes that was close
3457s	who is shooting at me so rapidly a drone
3460s	get out of here goodness
3463s	I was that was pain
3480s	my goodness
3486s	wow
3496s	yeah I've been uh I've been sneaking in
3499s	a rift run here and there for work uh
3501s	not necessarily because I have to but
3503s	just because I want to
3504s	the state of our Rifts has become more
3507s	and more pleasant with each pass we've
3509s	done
3511s	and I hope that we'll get to a state
3512s	where our team is very quickly
3514s	distracted by our own work because that
3516s	means it's ready for deployment because
3519s	we want you all to get sucked into these
3522s	like not just from a literal standpoint
3524s	because that's what they do but like
3526s	we want them to be very replayable
3527s	that's a big focal point and I've seen a
3529s	lot of questions surrounding that
3530s	already just through the presentation
3532s	we've had on these and uh just note we
3536s	are absolutely not done there's still a
3538s	lot more to come to these
3541s	in regards to not just balance but uh
3544s	performance
3545s	to uh
3547s	that enjoyment factor to drop rates
3549s	[Music]
3552s	yeah
3553s	foreign
3557s	on the edge of that explosion oh my
3561s	goodness
3566s	but like if it's not feeling good then
3567s	we haven't done our job right
3569s	like we want these to be tense and what
3572s	you're seeing here
3573s	right now this is the middle ground of
3576s	challenges you'd face inside of these
3578s	riffs
3583s	lunacy 250 that's to say if we end up
3586s	working with just a 500 Max
3593s	foreign
3596s	rather confident that as we go through
3599s	uh
3600s	the fall update which has got to be soon
3603s	right It's gotta be it's gotta be safe
3605s	rather confident that the feedback we'll
3607s	be receiving on this front is going to
3608s	help us iron out those additional Kinks
3610s	and I'm sure a fun time can be had for
3613s	both the more casual player as well as
3616s	The Confident Die Hard
3619s	uh
3621s	completionist player if you will
3626s	really don't want my stuff overheated
3629s	I also don't want enemies to get
3630s	stronger
3632s	and movement speeds is gonna kill us so
3634s	I'm gonna do a randomly overheat I think
3638s	all right
3639s	yeah thank goodness for reactive armor
3641s	for sure for sure
3645s	for sure
3652s	and so just in case all of you guys uh
3655s	don't know please keep asking your
3658s	questions I will be answering a slew of
3660s	them all at once here in the next couple
3662s	of minutes I'm gonna see if I can best
3664s	this Rift first I don't know if we're
3667s	gonna be able to do it this is uh
3672s	goodness I feel like everywhere I go I'm
3673s	just gonna get
3675s	just stomped on
3679s	I don't like that combination of foes
3681s	coming at me
3682s	please go down thank you
3688s	no no no no no
3690s	do we get the Drone I think we did
3698s	I should be thankful that we haven't
3700s	encountered the okar prime very much if
3703s	at all here because they can be
3705s	seriously deadly from long-range
3707s	shooting
3713s	oh come on one more oh ouch gosh dang it
3717s	he shot me before I shot him
3719s	that's painful that's that's problems
3725s	foreign
3748s	whoops
3756s	oh my gosh
3759s	right that scared me more than the
3761s	pumpkin that Andy implemented last week
3764s	jeez
3776s	wow
3778s	I really wish I had a way to repair
3783s	oh this is problems
3790s	that's a focal point
3792s	armor drone get out of here please
3795s	thank you
3809s	it's got a good sense of the lay of the
3813s	land here okay okay all right this isn't
3815s	so bad
3817s	all right
3821s	start with you all right where's the big
3823s	one there you are
3826s	so everyone come over here please
3829s	I have a surprise for you
3832s	looks like we got another weapon oh no
3834s	no no that's just the overheat
3836s	okay here we go
3845s	yeah that was a big damage output that's
3847s	what I needed
3851s	all right I think we're gonna make it
3855s	I was a little concerned there at the
3856s	start but I think we're gonna do it
3861s	yeah so um this is the part where I do
3864s	have to mention uh is not done yeah it's
3867s	not it's it's not done so when we go in
3869s	here and you're like wow that was so
3871s	whatever you think of it
3875s	much more to come to the final part of
3878s	the rift whether it's the fourth
3880s	location or otherwise
3890s	you guys probably remember this very
3892s	similar battle
3894s	from last week
3898s	and that's because it literally it
3901s	hasn't changed it's the exact same
3903s	bottle
3915s	whoa excuse me
3932s	all right yes no maybe come on
3936s	yes please please
3942s	we got him we got him
3951s	all right
3955s	goodness
3957s	maybe next time I shouldn't cheat a
3959s	level 25 build and actually establish
3960s	something that works together who that
3963s	was fun wasn't it
3966s	all right
3968s	so from that because we used our tiers
3971s	of the map which you can't collect
3972s	throughout
3974s	we were able to guarantee a legendary
3976s	and we got pangos Pride
3980s	I love this one I think about a lot of
3982s	you will too
3984s	ironic that we think of a cloak field
3985s	generator right next to it too
3987s	so let's just go ahead and pick up all
3989s	these Goods
3991s	oh I like this one very much
3995s	this one is most excellent
3999s	so uh let's park the ship and we'll
4002s	answer some questions then we'll get
4004s	into our legendary segment oh my gosh
4007s	the t's the t's that was our ref segment
4010s	we're talking about questions you have
4012s	then we'll go into legendaries oh my
4014s	goodness
4016s	yeah I didn't use any of my missiles
4017s	because they Auto fire and I was just
4019s	like you know what let's just let's just
4021s	let them go I was I was scared to use my
4023s	missiles it's partially on me because
4025s	honestly if you want to maximize uh your
4028s	rifting you want to use all of your
4030s	stuff so just gonna briefly show you hey
4033s	I thought that I used my community
4035s	consumables in the rift I did
4040s	everything that you spend inside of the
4042s	rift comes back to you when you are
4044s	kicked out so you'll see that my health
4047s	is full my ALT is full all of the things
4050s	that I had upon entering the rift have
4052s	returned to the state that they were
4053s	prior to doing the rift all right that's
4057s	how that works so
4060s	use your stuff because you even get it
4063s	back afterwards
4065s	uh yeah because I only had one Nanobots
4068s	you bet your butt I used it um but uh I
4072s	was about the most I could do on that
4073s	front all right now we're gonna answer
4075s	some questions let's answer some
4077s	questions tons of questions uh so let's
4081s	do a little bit of a speed round
4084s	and I love you I love the conversations
4085s	going on in the chat you guys are
4087s	wonderful thank you so much for hanging
4089s	out and being here by the way
4090s	um it really means a lot to us at
4092s	Rockfish for you guys to continue coming
4094s	back and also telling your friends that
4095s	we do these development streams because
4097s	we want you to be in conversation with
4100s	us and we want to be in conversation
4101s	with you that's the way development
4104s	should work that's what we believe and
4106s	so being able to just like
4108s	do these streams and engage with you and
4110s	show you what's coming up and hearing
4112s	what you have to say quite immediately
4114s	and sometimes uh you know insanely so uh
4118s	it's a lot of fun so sincerely thank you
4120s	for being here thank you for bringing
4121s	other friends in uh to have this level
4124s	of Engagement so let's answer a couple
4126s	more questions
4128s	rapid fire time YouTube Thunder flame
4131s	asks any chance we will get underwater
4133s	combat or at least underwater tunnels we
4135s	can't explore there are a couple
4137s	underwater tunnels that exist currently
4140s	um as far as underwater combat goes
4143s	that's not something we really want to
4145s	pursue we wanted to make underwater
4147s	distinct from the standard combat from
4150s	above and we feel like negating combat
4153s	and making it only exploration uh is a
4156s	powerful way for us to invoke that level
4158s	of curiosity and what's in the deeps as
4160s	opposed to engaged in more challenges
4163s	below the water as well
4165s	so as an intentional design choice for
4167s	us to not have combat underwater we've
4170s	got a question over on Twitch from Flory
4173s	when there are more bypasses like Union
4176s	will the Rifts be different or the same
4178s	in the same system this is something
4180s	we've been talking about internally and
4181s	I've even answered it a number of times
4183s	both on in the Discord as well as on the
4188s	forums and I just want to be incredibly
4189s	clear here when we are creating these
4192s	riffs we want to make sure that they are
4195s	more or less accessible no matter where
4198s	you are engaging them from so what I
4200s	mean by that is like when you are
4202s	starting a rift from Prescott Starbase
4203s	versus one from your home base it
4206s	shouldn't look that different that's
4209s	what we feel uh that being said if
4213s	this is a big if because this would be a
4215s	lot of a lot more development time on
4217s	our hands but it is something that we've
4218s	been talking about if we were to move in
4220s	a Direction
4221s	where the rift looked different based on
4224s	where you triggered it from and when I
4226s	say look I'm not meaning from a visual
4228s	standpoint I'm referring to a
4230s	gamification standpoint like sedo
4233s	um
4234s	has a tremendous number of blood stars
4237s	in their Rift or something like that
4238s	versus uh kite nebula has like redeemers
4241s	and Oak R Prime you know something like
4243s	a
4244s	if we were to do that we need to make
4246s	sure that they're insanely well balanced
4248s	so that players aren't just doing a
4251s	certain Rift over and over and over
4252s	again because it's easier to have better
4255s	access to legendaries
4256s	to have better in-game content like
4259s	that would be a major problem so what
4261s	instead we would like to do and it also
4263s	frankly saves us time and our
4265s	development schedule allows for it is
4267s	have Rifts more or less the same
4270s	regardless of where you access them from
4272s	but include uh Pleasant challenges
4275s	throughout so because they're so
4278s	volatile and what enemy types you're
4280s	going to get which will be continued to
4282s	refined by the way we're not done on
4283s	that front as well as the mutators that
4286s	you'll select from
4287s	things can get pretty weird pretty fast
4289s	with the nice visualization depending on
4292s	where you go so lots of information on
4295s	that front but sincerely
4298s	we're going more for similar as opposed
4301s	to unique
4304s	we've got fins on YouTube so all of
4306s	these new space life form additions well
4308s	some of them also appear in some riffs
4310s	and if not then why not so these space
4313s	life form additions that you refer to I
4315s	am uh unsure of I showcased the location
4319s	walls and doors being updated in a
4323s	biological sense so the level design
4325s	flows into that more readily right so
4328s	when we were going through the caves of
4330s	the authorian fault for example it
4333s	meshes much better into the environment
4334s	and has that greater wow factor which
4337s	we're looking for as as the Rifts
4340s	themselves go we don't have any plans to
4343s	have creatures inside of them a new
4346s	space life forms as you mentioned so um
4349s	just want to make sure that's very clear
4351s	on Twitch we have Zeo Penny any plans to
4354s	allow reducing or turning off rotational
4356s	dampening it reduces a lot of wrist
4359s	strain flying stick
4361s	any plans to allow reducing or turning
4364s	off rotational dampening
4368s	like this is that what we're referring
4370s	to
4372s	um yeah because the only thing we have
4373s	is that you have you can turn off
4375s	inertia dampeners but this will stay the
4377s	same
4379s	I don't think there are plans
4382s	I don't think there are plans like our I
4385s	want to make sure uh zero Penny if you
4387s	could respond to me in twitch like are
4388s	you asking that you could just basically
4390s	like turn off your inertia dampeners and
4392s	then do this
4395s	foreign
4398s	yes okay
4400s	um there's not the plan to do that at
4403s	this time
4406s	so just want to be clear
4411s	was that a sound yes T3 Cube that is a
4413s	sound
4414s	um whenever you are
4416s	you kind of you kind of missed that one
4418s	but yes um there is a sound now
4419s	associated with turning your lights on
4421s	and off
4424s	as well as inertia dampeners on and off
4428s	foreign
4429s	this was added uh several streams back
4432s	you know there's a lot of subtle little
4434s	additions so don't worry it's no no
4436s	problem that you missed it but that was
4438s	included we were very happy with those
4439s	results
4440s	it's a nice little Snappy editions right
4443s	so I do like that question but yeah so
4445s	there is not a plan to include
4447s	rotational dampening I'm sorry about
4449s	your wrists
4451s	also sorry about my poor driving
4453s	goodness let's dock again
4456s	all right
4457s	and answer some more questions
4461s	two three Cube from twitch how do you
4463s	guys check to see if a drone is owned by
4464s	something like a drone carrier ship or a
4466s	location challenge ah there's basically
4467s	like Flags internally that bind it to
4470s	like how it's created is the big thing
4471s	whether it's warped in whether it's been
4473s	uh whether it's uh a minion to a uh like
4478s	an alpha if you will whether it's uh
4481s	generated by uh drone carriers like
4483s	that's one specific one
4485s	stuff like that
4487s	um versus location challenges we
4490s	basically have to flag each enemy
4492s	independently that way so like if you're
4495s	going to a location challenge it's like
4496s	destroy all Outlaws you're not going to
4498s	have a random number of Outlaws you're
4499s	gonna have the exact same number in the
4501s	exact same positions in fact uh when
4503s	those generate
4505s	um I hope that answers your question uh
4507s	we have Excelsior from YouTube says what
4509s	are the chances for another crafting
4510s	revision before 1.0 uh yes
4518s	in fact I just want to just go right
4520s	here for a brief second oh my gosh
4522s	goodness gravy
4524s	um let's go on to the next question cr0
4527s	from YouTube ask what's the max level
4530s	going to be in the full
4532s	uh Rel
4534s	I'm assuming this one was probably
4536s	answered already from Community persons
4538s	and thank you for that but just to make
4539s	sure everybody uh has the clarity that
4541s	they deserve the max level uh design
4544s	intent is level 30 so that you would
4546s	have six of these perks to choose from
4549s	for Adam as well as a nice number
4552s	regarding upgrading your devices your
4555s	device upgrades here
4558s	um and a slew of other little things to
4561s	boot
4562s	um like ship dealers and purchasing them
4564s	for example
4566s	so uh yeah
4568s	level 30. next one we got another one
4571s	from T3 Cube on Twitch flying by these
4574s	is something going to be done about the
4575s	ability to stun lock groups of enemies
4578s	with webbing Minds plus Repulsor with
4580s	swing together and then EMP generator as
4583s	of now it currently allows you to
4584s	indefinitely uh groups of targets
4588s	I mean that sounds like a wonderful stun
4590s	lock that's consuming uh tools like the
4593s	webbing mines for example so I think
4596s	that's fine
4598s	I don't see a problem if these were
4600s	infinite sources that could chain
4603s	together then I would see a problem with
4604s	that but if you found a great way to
4606s	chain stun lock enemies by using
4609s	resources
4610s	more power to you that's awesome
4613s	that's that's intended
4617s	I don't know if it's intended but
4619s	um stuff like that we're not as worried
4620s	about unless it's like devices chaining
4622s	into devices chaining into devices
4625s	you kind of get that
4630s	uh let's see we got a question from
4633s	Master sheep over on YouTube so many
4635s	questions goodness
4636s	goodness
4638s	are there or will there be any legendary
4641s	flat cannons I would greatly enjoy some
4643s	love for the flat cannons I would too
4646s	you know it's such a shame that we
4648s	completely ignored it on all fronts even
4650s	though it's one of Michael's favorite
4651s	weapons sorry Michael uh the team
4653s	decided you're out uh so uh
4657s	that's that's all there is to it uh
4659s	flock Cannon you know
4662s	it's yes it's very secondary style sort
4665s	of primary weapon anyway you know it's
4667s	not it doesn't really
4670s	foreign
4673s	s Eric just said that if we end up
4676s	working with 500 lunacy Max so I'm
4678s	curious Eric do you like the idea of
4680s	over 500 literacy being a kind of an
4682s	unlockable feature ah do I personally or
4685s	does the team uh because those are two
4687s	different things from a personal level I
4689s	like increasing challenges uh in general
4693s	um but as far as the lunacy goes at this
4696s	time uh level 500 lunacy is not fully
4699s	balanced you guys know that
4702s	um and so it's going to be something
4703s	that's constantly evaluated we might
4706s	have a greater range than 500 as well
4709s	when we reach the update uh this fall
4713s	um but time's gonna tell right time's
4716s	gonna tell on that front we'll just have
4718s	to see
4719s	oh don't worry don't Michael I didn't I
4722s	didn't drop any beans I was just being
4723s	silly goodness Michael's all concerned
4726s	don't worry please continue paying me um
4728s	all right we got uh another question
4731s	from uh cr0
4733s	from YouTube is there an option to have
4736s	minimal HUD without hiding them all
4737s	together there's not this has also been
4739s	something we've talked about on the team
4740s	so um just to kind of uh go over this
4743s	because I know that this is what you're
4745s	talking about
4746s	so like we have all these hot elements
4748s	you know which we're still tweaking on
4750s	the presentation thereof but like you
4752s	can press the H button and everything
4753s	goes away wouldn't it be nice if like it
4757s	only changed to where you still had
4761s	certain details on the screen like your
4763s	crosshairs for example
4765s	um and maybe like just the five nearest
4768s	enemies or something you know uh and
4771s	then maybe another one you change over
4772s	and it's only resources you know
4774s	something like that those would be
4776s	amazing I think I personally think the
4780s	team
4782s	says there's technical issues in
4784s	constructing that type of stuff so
4786s	um it's not uh as desired internally as
4790s	maybe
4791s	um I would personally like and maybe you
4793s	guys would know
4794s	um it's definitely a point of
4795s	conversation we've had
4798s	there's a chance but I wouldn't I
4800s	wouldn't expect it I would not expect it
4803s	it would be so cool though gosh it would
4806s	be so cool
4808s	uh from Fred spect
4815s	um from YouTube I have a question about
4817s	the Vindicator all right yeah The
4820s	Vindicator Vindicator love all right
4822s	last time I played it it started out of
4824s	the hangar without any drones is that
4825s	something intentional or should it
4826s	replenish drones on launch
4829s	um
4830s	I think it's intentional that it doesn't
4832s	have drones on launch
4834s	I think that is intentional pretty
4836s	pretty confident that it's intentional
4838s	actually
4839s	um because we want the generation of
4841s	drones not to be something that a
4842s	station has for you
4844s	um whereas instead it's something that
4846s	you have to go out and find the
4848s	materials to make them the Salvage
4850s	that's floating around
4852s	um there could be a couple alternate
4854s	formats to that in the future but right
4856s	now we're pretty satisfied with how that
4858s	comes together uh Tavis from YouTube and
4861s	my goodness we've been answering
4862s	questions for a while uh we're gonna do
4864s	maybe
4866s	all right we're just gonna we're gonna
4867s	keep going we're gonna keep going Thomas
4869s	from YouTube are the riffs randomly
4871s	generated are they all in space or are
4873s	some land-based riffs as well variety is
4875s	the spice of life variety is the spice
4876s	of life and we've also talked about like
4878s	land-based riffs um and ones that have
4881s	more
4883s	um
4884s	level Design Within them you know
4886s	whether you have like asteroids or like
4888s	internal spaces and stuff like that
4891s	um and we want to make sure that if
4893s	we're going that sort of route that it
4895s	doesn't make the riffs
4898s	um exploitable it's the best way to put
4900s	it
4901s	so
4902s	for the most part we want them to be
4904s	rather consistent uh that being said
4907s	there will be more variety that does
4908s	come to the Rifts in the future
4910s	and that's
4914s	that's the answer
4916s	it's a good question
4919s	um
4920s	excellent twitch try to eat will there
4922s	be more variation in riffs and like with
4924s	everspace oh I see a similar things for
4927s	Sky boxes layout big asteroids very
4928s	close yeah so kind of similar one
4931s	um and yeah as I previously mentioned we
4933s	do want to add more variety not just in
4935s	the level design but also in the enemy
4938s	variety so
4940s	it's all good it's all good
4943s	it's gonna be a blast to bring that all
4946s	together and showcase that when it's
4947s	ready to go I think
4949s	we've got another one from Fred spec
4950s	that we got two from them we're gonna
4952s	rapid fire both of these talking about
4954s	The Vindicator are there still changes
4955s	coming to that ship or are you guys
4956s	happy with where it's currently on now
4957s	we're constantly changing it we're
4959s	constantly improving it um in fact the
4962s	most recent change uh has been buffing
4964s	the natural progression of drone damage
4969s	and hit points alongside the
4971s	vindicator's growth so the drones are
4973s	going to be even stronger now is the
4974s	short of it
4976s	um so we're constantly looking into
4977s	things like that it's kind of ironic
4979s	because if you play The Vindicator
4980s	really well the drones make you nearly
4984s	Invincible it comes down to a lot of
4986s	skill based play in order to outperform
4989s	what you're up against and some people
4991s	have some skillful individuals have
4993s	complained that The Vindicator is too
4995s	good so uh
4997s	balancing is fun
4999s	next question is does using tears of the
5001s	mat guarantee one legendary drop or can
5002s	you still have another one next to that
5004s	it guarantees one legendary drop
5006s	guarantees one legendary drop I'm going
5008s	to show this uh again just so that you
5010s	can see it straight up
5014s	set it on the screen where's it
5016s	there it is
5020s	just so that you can see it you have to
5023s	use a certain number of Tears of the Mad
5025s	based on
5027s	um the lunacy level
5031s	so the higher the lunacy the easier it
5034s	is to uh spend tears on the map the
5037s	lower lunar see the harder it is
5039s	so for example we have 30 tiers of the
5042s	mad right now and in this particular
5045s	version of the game
5046s	numbers are probably going to change if
5049s	you were to do a lunacy zero if you
5051s	wanted to guarantee a legendary you'd
5053s	have to spend
5054s	500 tiers on the map
5057s	and that number decreases as you go up I
5059s	know it's hard to see but now it's 250
5061s	at the 250 rank and all the way up at
5063s	the top 500 you'd only well I mean shoot
5066s	you don't even have to spend any because
5067s	it's guaranteed at the 450 rank you'd
5070s	have to spend 50. in order to guarantee
5072s	a legendary instead of it just being a
5074s	high chance
5075s	so that's how that is currently
5077s	implemented
5080s	and we'll see some tweaks
5082s	so yeah
5083s	[Music]
5086s	does dingo's pride the name come from
5089s	the hacker inside Mission yes Wizard
5090s	Jerry it does uh let's actually get
5092s	ready to transition into the legendary
5094s	conversation because there's there's a
5096s	number of things to go into on that
5098s	um
5100s	I do I do enjoy the connection that you
5103s	guys are making
5105s	and Bill Farson from YouTube asks is
5108s	maester thrawn gonna make it into the
5109s	game before 1.0 or after uh so you are
5114s	assuming that he's going to be in the
5115s	game and I love that because as you know
5117s	we would love to bring everything from
5119s	Aerospace one back into everspace 2 to
5121s	some degree or capacity uh I can't tell
5123s	you if he's going to be in the game or
5124s	not I can't
5127s	so it's possible for sure uh and maybe
5131s	if he were in the game he could either
5133s	be like just a reference or he could be
5136s	an entire side quest thing I suppose
5139s	uh but yeah just know that um
5142s	the main plot line for maester throng is
5145s	accomplished in everspace one I think um
5147s	and but we'll see we'll see
5149s	there's always the hope for more right
5152s	always hope for more uh just like more
5155s	questions goodness gravy all right I
5156s	gotta take them I gotta take a break
5158s	from the questions
5160s	um geekbite we're at 21 so I've
5162s	highlighted it so you can save you can
5164s	destroy all the ones prior you guys are
5166s	asking fantastic questions and I love it
5168s	but I want to show you more content I
5170s	want to get some more content because
5172s	there's lots of other cool things we've
5173s	done a little bit of legendary balancing
5175s	for example we added an entirely new
5177s	legendary that you hadn't seen yet so it
5179s	doesn't feel like it's entirely new
5181s	because you haven't seen it yet anyway
5183s	uh well we've been we've been doing
5185s	stuff we've been making plays so let's
5187s	go in here and talk about it so you
5189s	probably saw me hover over these before
5191s	and you were like oh yeah there's a
5192s	little bit of new UI now
5194s	um so in comparison to like say a
5198s	prototype which has like the circle
5199s	around it I don't have any Star forged
5201s	to show unfortunately
5203s	but the legendary has a unique
5205s	stylization for it as well very bold
5208s	Circle rotating around it make it stand
5211s	out as well as bordered around which is
5213s	that border fully updated that I think
5216s	that border might receive another little
5217s	passive
5219s	um
5220s	is that the one that I was shown I can't
5223s	remember there's you know
5225s	you know what we constantly want to make
5227s	sure that your goods like stand out you
5229s	see additional big border around the
5231s	orange of the legendary too
5234s	um and gameplay tweaks regarding these
5236s	various legendaries like you're gonna
5238s	see that all along the way as we
5240s	showcase them
5242s	um and you know that because you know
5243s	early access and experimental uh from
5246s	the sense of like this is the dev Branch
5247s	right
5249s	so like this stuff isn't even ready for
5251s	to be in your hands yet like that's how
5253s	much this stuff has to change let's look
5255s	at pango's Pride oh
5258s	I love this one so much become cloaked
5263s	after not boosting for three seconds
5266s	foreign
5267s	become cloaked after not boosting for
5269s	three seconds that's it that's the
5271s	requirement and also look at that repair
5273s	per kill difference
5278s	this armor is in fact legendary
5282s	it's insane insanely good
5287s	so let's just go ahead and launch and
5289s	I'll show you exactly how it works
5291s	basically uh if you're looking at the
5294s	screen as you can see uh we closed
5298s	and now that we cloaked
5302s	all enemies
5304s	completely won't know we're there
5306s	right
5307s	so we can we can go harass as much as we
5310s	want
5312s	get as close as we want if you're trying
5315s	to explore a location and just like just
5317s	do puzzles you're like man all these
5318s	enemies are super boring and annoying
5320s	and whatever this is going to be it's
5322s	gonna be fantastic and if you get in
5324s	range of enemies too
5328s	and then you just stop boosting
5330s	you will go cloak and they'll stop
5333s	firing at you that's how it works right
5337s	that's how it works
5339s	the only things that will change this is
5341s	when you fire your weapon so like you
5343s	could charge up your scatter gun like
5345s	this and then
5347s	oh I stayed cloaked
5350s	I think that's actually a bug what if
5353s	it's not let's keep it please that's
5355s	amazing actually
5356s	but still um when you it's I think it's
5359s	supposed to be when you fire and when
5360s	you boost you uncloak
5363s	that might be a little too powerful if
5365s	you don't declote from firing oh my gosh
5370s	sorry guys don't get too excited about
5371s	that pretty sure that's a bug uh but
5373s	still I do love this uh do love this
5376s	armor as well as the fact that it's
5378s	incredibly protective right gaining 15
5382s	on kill back to your armor is
5385s	that's huge
5387s	that is massive
5390s	feels good so pangos probably
5392s	um just a staple for those of you who
5395s	want to stealth in
5397s	quite a delight but that's not all I
5400s	also was hiding another uh another one
5403s	down here this one is interesting
5407s	this is an auto Cannon and I like
5410s	sharing the legendaries for their added
5413s	effects excuse me as I wipe wipe my
5415s	tears of the in excitement we're gonna
5418s	go ahead and plop this one as final
5420s	Reckoning
5421s	does a ton of kinetic damage as most
5423s	Auto cannons do dealing damage with this
5426s	weapon builds up a charge that will make
5429s	your next secondary weapon shot deal 5
5431s	000 increase damage
5436s	dealing damage with this weapon builds a
5438s	charge that will make your next
5441s	secondary weapon shot deal five thousand
5446s	increase damage
5448s	that would be super cool to pair with
5450s	like other legendary effects I think if
5454s	there's a way to like I don't know
5457s	boosts legendaries to where you could
5459s	equip more than one uh oh also that
5462s	reminds me what you see here is a
5465s	combination of multiple legendaries that
5467s	makes me bonkers strong okay the design
5470s	intent what you should expect when we
5473s	get to the legendary phase of the game
5475s	is that you'll only be able to equip one
5480s	you'll only be able to equip one
5482s	legendary at a time I know some of you
5485s	went what that's incredibly deflating
5489s	you can start by equipping one listener
5492s	at a time so as the game progresses
5496s	you're gonna discover new memes and
5498s	tools at your disposal
5500s	in order to uh change them
5503s	and so we do want you to be able to play
5505s	around with a couple of different
5506s	legendaries in your build but also note
5509s	and I said this last stream I'm going to
5510s	say it again I'll probably even say it
5512s	next week legendaries are designed to be
5514s	quite a game changer when it comes to
5516s	certain playstyles and builds like you
5519s	know being able to freaking cloak after
5521s	a mere three seconds of not boosting
5524s	so this comes out of price you have to
5527s	decide what aspect of your build you are
5530s	going to move forward with by choosing
5534s	which legendaries power you're going
5536s	with So to that for example final
5539s	Reckoning
5541s	is fantastic
5543s	for Christmases if you haven't seen
5545s	cruise missiles maybe we can find some
5546s	later I'm not sure
5548s	um maybe we have some it doesn't look
5550s	like we do
5552s	but cruise missiles are insanely
5555s	powerful uh secondaries but they take a
5558s	long time to get their target you build
5560s	up this damage modifier from final
5563s	Reckoning and then you blast it even at
5565s	say a rift boss
5566s	coming soon to you uh you're gonna do an
5570s	absurd amount of damage
5572s	[Music]
5574s	you're gonna do an absurd amount of
5575s	damage and if you were able to pair it
5577s	with other you know specialty things
5579s	like I had a storm making secondaries
5582s	always crit
5585s	when you're below 50 old always crit you
5589s	fire a missile at 500 increased damage
5591s	that crits
5597s	that's a lot of that's a lot of damage
5600s	that's a lot of damage
5604s	but this is also
5607s	pulling a particular play style right
5609s	like it's demanding the use of secondary
5611s	so that means that's going to cost you
5613s	probably
5615s	it's gonna cost you a little bit a
5617s	little bit of management in order to
5619s	bring that together and you're probably
5620s	going to miss out on other opportunities
5622s	from other legendaries so that's why
5624s	we're designing it this way you have to
5626s	pick the right legendary to suit your
5628s	play style okay
5630s	[Music]
5631s	so yeah pangos Prime
5634s	final wrecking also uh let's look at
5636s	what it looks like
5637s	it's still basic oh man that's
5640s	unfortunate I thought we updated all the
5642s	legendary visualizations
5644s	we're not quite there yet
5647s	just a standard Auto Cannon for now
5650s	but uh each one of the legendaries and
5652s	you guys probably knew this but each one
5653s	of the legendaries we do want to stand
5654s	out even if it's like a shield
5657s	that has green it's a green shield
5660s	instead of blue like we want them to be
5662s	able to stand out like this this is the
5664s	toxic toxic Revenger Shield it is a
5667s	legendary Shield so it in fact is a
5669s	different color
5672s	foreign
5675s	let's go to devotion because we can show
5678s	that one when we fire this it also has a
5681s	unique stylization to it
5684s	[Music]
5688s	even has that little wispy effect
5691s	it is consuming our alt but don't worry
5692s	about that
5699s	so you can bet your bottom
5703s	that our legendaries not only provide
5706s	some aspect of gameplay shenanigans
5711s	but also gives you a cool visualization
5712s	to go with most of them most of them
5716s	I'm not really sure how eye of the storm
5717s	could uh change the visualization of
5721s	your scanner your sensor but you know
5724s	most of them have some style some effect
5728s	that they have uh as you are utilizing
5731s	them in game
5738s	and with that and covering these
5742s	legendaries and seeing a lot of these
5744s	little updates I wanted to just kind of
5745s	roll through just a couple other little
5747s	tweaks and modifications that you guys
5749s	can expect
5750s	just kind of like a little conversation
5752s	we'll share with one another here as I
5755s	find a dock let's go back to the
5757s	freelancer hanger so I don't trigger any
5760s	unnecessary shenanigans
5762s	[Music]
5768s	also I'm curious
5773s	okay
5774s	hard to see if the ship would cloak
5776s	while it's in the dark
5778s	oh my gosh
5782s	all right
5790s	just looking around the other ships
5791s	because they're so nice so nice so uh
5794s	yeah we're going to uh answer some more
5797s	questions uh maybe we can just like
5803s	can we can we hover over no I don't
5806s	think we can do that unfortunately
5808s	I can do this actually here I'm gonna
5810s	hover over a couple of lunges as I read
5812s	off a couple other tweaks and
5813s	modifications that we've done
5815s	um because we are still improving like
5817s	tool tips and inventory slot backgrounds
5819s	as you can see here right still tweaking
5823s	more of that type of stuff
5824s	um vignette VFX
5827s	um so you saw that when we were playing
5830s	so when your resolve starts getting
5831s	really low uh the Riff starts creeping
5834s	in on you the vignette
5836s	that border around the screen that's
5838s	what that's called
5839s	um and we like it it's cool and and
5842s	eerie and really uh kicks you into gear
5845s	to save the Run uh we also uh are
5850s	tampering with the tears of the mad now
5851s	you saw that
5853s	um we're adjusting like loot values from
5854s	the riffs as well we want to make sure
5856s	that they are valuable to do in the
5859s	in-game state
5860s	even though you're not gaining
5862s	experience from them I think it's
5863s	important uh that especially depending
5866s	on your lunacy that you are obtaining as
5869s	much goodness as possible uh based on
5873s	your time commitment and your skill that
5875s	you're bringing to the table
5879s	more enemy types that can generate the
5882s	Rifts have been added um tweak some
5884s	setups in the riffs so that they don't
5886s	be weird made the support drones from
5889s	various factions work with any faction
5891s	inside of the Rifts so that can lead to
5894s	some interesting results
5896s	um
5897s	goodness so there are lots of lots of
5899s	little tweaks uh tweaks we also adjusted
5902s	the bomber from a level of the hit point
5906s	and shield uh
5909s	actually whole armor and shield for the
5911s	bomber all all of it let me see if I can
5914s	give an example yeah okay
5917s	um we've adjusted these stats across the
5919s	board and they will continue to get
5921s	tweaked so I know some of you out there
5923s	who like do all the stuff on the wiki
5925s	you're looking at that and be like ah
5926s	yeah more changes of course it's
5929s	happening
5930s	um but also we increased the structure
5932s	attribute scaling for the bomber
5935s	um and reduced the bomber's secondary
5937s	energy consumption
5940s	I'm going to say that again because
5941s	those bomber fans out there gonna be
5943s	like what what did I just hear yes right
5945s	we reduced
5947s	the energy consumption for when you use
5949s	secondaries that means you can use more
5951s	secondaries faster succession
5955s	because bombers like to shoot a lot of
5957s	secondaries and so we're making that
5958s	more possible it just feels better
5960s	honestly
5961s	fire all the missiles
5964s	we have increased the Executioner spread
5970s	the probably the best no the best
5973s	kinetic damage weapon in the game we are
5975s	starting to Nerf oh man oh guys
5980s	we are we're applying the Nerf gun
5983s	we are applying the Nerf gun
5986s	uh we are also reducing its damage uh
5990s	you knew it was gonna happen there's got
5992s	to be some give and take uh we have been
5995s	finding
5996s	ridiculous ways to boost your damage and
6000s	use an executioner to bypass incredibly
6002s	challenging events and that's just
6004s	that's not it needs to be scaled down a
6006s	bit more according to the other elements
6009s	uh and so it is being addressed on that
6011s	level I hope that you're not surprised
6014s	by that
6014s	but um it's something that needs to be
6017s	done and something that needs to be done
6019s	we're also going through and just
6021s	touching up more like marker
6024s	visualizations throughout the game as an
6026s	example like the shadow gradient from
6028s	location riskiness
6031s	um we've also improved the racing UI
6035s	a lot
6037s	which I can't show you
6042s	but it's nice
6044s	and
6047s	this is an ironic one I had no idea this
6050s	was going to be happening uh in the
6052s	space of our game we had a question in
6055s	the Discord
6058s	uh this week
6062s	last week
6067s	two days ago
6069s	two days ago from hatch 22 he had asked
6072s	the question how do you feel about the
6074s	current state of the reflecting panel
6076s	puzzles will it get an overhaul
6080s	so uh
6086s	the panels
6090s	I wonder if I can go find one really
6091s	quick maybe we can just do that
6093s	you guys want to see the panels the
6095s	reflection panels real quick
6097s	maybe we can find one
6100s	here we're gonna we're gonna cheat
6102s	because I think that this is it this
6105s	area there's a reflection panel gosh I
6107s	hope so
6111s	I think it's this one
6114s	yes it's this one
6117s	so don't mind the fact that these guys
6118s	are insanely lower level than us uh what
6121s	we want to do is we want to find oh wait
6122s	no
6124s	yeah there's a there's a reflection
6125s	panel here
6127s	[Music]
6132s	get out of here you freaking punks
6136s	how did you not
6138s	excuse me this is what I wanted you to
6140s	do
6143s	[Music]
6145s	oh really oh really we're gonna just
6149s	bypass
6150s	the geometry is that is that how this
6153s	this is uh guys
6156s	ever Space 2 is a Flawless game with no
6159s	bugs
6160s	all right
6162s	especially our Duff branch
6171s	oh my gosh
6176s	perfect
6177s	exactly as designed all right as
6180s	entirely
6182s	how the game is meant to be played uh no
6185s	problems just exactly shoot where's this
6188s	I I just want to get to the reflection
6190s	panel let's see if I'd find this focus
6192s	in ladies and gentlemen
6195s	goodness I'm all topsy-turvy is it over
6198s	there no it's over
6200s	there's
6202s	am I in the wrong spot let's go to a
6204s	different spot I think there's an easier
6205s	one
6207s	Michael says ship it all right we're
6209s	pushing the launch button guys
6214s	where is this dang reflection I know
6216s	it's in one of these dang
6218s	yes I'm cheating to get there is it the
6221s	no it's the is it
6224s	it's somewhere it's somewhere around
6227s	these parts
6229s	somebody's gonna tell me before I
6230s	freaking find it uh
6234s	where where are you
6236s	where are you my little reflection panel
6238s	near nefty's uh near nafties okay well
6242s	that's that's good to know uh
6247s	it's not the transit Point uh it's the
6250s	refiner it's the refinery
6252s	oh yes the refinery gosh dang it it's
6254s	the refinery gosh
6257s	guys I know this game like the back of
6259s	my hand
6261s	also I haven't seen the back of my hand
6263s	in a while all right
6264s	Let's uh
6266s	let's get there come on there it is
6268s	finally let's look at it if this wasn't
6271s	implemented yet I'm gonna be so upset
6274s	here we go
6275s	reflecting panel
6279s	ready ready
6285s	oh yeah
6287s	oh yeah look at that you see that here
6290s	let me show you
6292s	look at this you know how like it's been
6293s	really hard to like line up and
6295s	everything you're like trying to wiggle
6296s	this incredibly small thing yeah okay
6298s	check this out
6300s	oh yeah that makes things way easier
6303s	look it even slows you down so like look
6305s	at that control that I get on that laser
6307s	getting exactly where I want it to go oh
6309s	my gosh we can fire it straight back
6311s	look at that precision
6313s	how easy is that now oh
6318s	I really like that also this is fun
6323s	there you go wasn't actually planning on
6326s	showing you that today but uh you know
6327s	whatever it was fun that's fun
6331s	lots of little tweaks and additions and
6332s	designs and blah blah blah so uh that
6335s	question from the Discord there you go
6337s	visualization that we are in fact
6339s	improving those mechanics by making the
6342s	um panels actually bearable to use uh
6346s	yeah very very good stuff
6347s	[Music]
6349s	um and then there was a bunch of other
6350s	little things that have been adjusted in
6352s	the game that you'll inevitably see but
6354s	we've spent way too long on this you
6355s	have more questions I want to get to
6357s	them I also want to make sure that we
6358s	show at least a few of your screenshots
6361s	so let's go ahead we're going to
6362s	navigate over to the news page
6365s	um and then we're gonna answer questions
6367s	as we are doing uh the screenshot
6370s	showcase
6371s	that you guys are just you always just
6373s	do such a fan freaking tastic job of
6375s	taking shots
6377s	now I will fully admit you know after I
6380s	say that it's like you guys are so good
6381s	at taking screenshots we got a low
6383s	number of screenshots uh from uh last
6385s	week so it's going to be uh it's a
6388s	little more limited but that's fine we
6390s	can hang out and have a good time
6391s	regardless show off cool fun stuffs and
6394s	uh yeah there we go one second
6399s	foreign
6408s	[Music]
6424s	little interactions in the in the
6427s	Discord regarding
6428s	um
6430s	certain preparations
6432s	if you will for
6438s	the uh the inevitable riffs that are
6441s	going to show up right and Flory was
6443s	having a bit of fun cruising around in a
6445s	high-risk area with inertia dampeners
6448s	off and I just I love this shot so much
6452s	it makes me so happy
6455s	um just plowing through that corrosive
6458s	space no big deal
6460s	and having a blast while doing it I love
6464s	it I love this Dynamic
6466s	um I mean there's a bit of empty space
6468s	in the shot like but let's just focus on
6470s	this right let's just focus on this
6472s	right here
6473s	what a delight what a treat seeing some
6476s	additional Maneuvers I hope that you've
6479s	got something to to take care of that
6480s	damage though because sometimes going
6482s	through the corrosive feels especially
6484s	in this next update
6487s	um they can hurt quite considerably
6490s	so uh nice stuff nice stuff we got Drive
6494s	live here
6495s	send it in a few and it's just nice to
6498s	get a calm photo from time to time
6500s	especially one that observes some of the
6502s	more like Pleasant denizens of everspace
6505s	2 like the ocar for example I'm just
6508s	cruising around and I also like this one
6510s	too because they kind of look like space
6513s	sharks to me I don't know
6515s	they just kind of look like space sharks
6517s	it just it feels it feels good I don't
6519s	know if these guys collided and they're
6521s	stuck or what's going on there I don't
6522s	care so much about that but just looking
6524s	at the pleasantness of these okar
6526s	Fighters it makes me happy love the
6529s	progression into Union let's go ahead
6531s	and answer a question while we're
6532s	sitting on drivelife's Photo here I've
6534s	got a technical question from Finns when
6537s	player ship boosts strictly forward 100
6539s	and then some side strafe pilot input is
6542s	added ship forward speed rapidly
6544s	decreases why is it intentional purpose
6546s	yes it is intentional because the
6548s	direction that you are boosting in is
6550s	where your Boost is being spent so if
6553s	you're boosting forward all the energy
6556s	is moving that direction if you're
6557s	boosting uh forward and to the right for
6560s	example at the same time all of your
6562s	energy is boosting that direction if
6564s	you're boosting only to the right all of
6566s	your Boost is spent in that direction so
6568s	you're no longer going to maximize the
6570s	space that you're boosting in so like if
6573s	you're boosting this direction you're
6575s	not going to move move that direction as
6576s	fast you're going to move this direction
6578s	faster so there will be a reduction of
6580s	speed on that front so yeah that is very
6583s	much working as intended and this is an
6585s	aspect that we change from everspace one
6587s	whereas everspace one you could only
6589s	boost forward now you can boost in all
6592s	directions
6594s	uh next question comes from animated
6595s	Viking will there be hidden secrets in
6598s	the game with good rewards like a hidden
6601s	ship variant or a unique weapon
6605s	I think that would be pretty dope
6608s	wouldn't it we also have this incredibly
6611s	awesome scene from dark chaos showing
6614s	the destruction that has been wrought
6616s	inside of the Drake system and
6621s	man I don't know why but like sometimes
6623s	I forget to just take a step back and
6624s	look at the environment surrounding the
6627s	space that I'm piloting in
6629s	um because that's a really cool shot
6632s	and I don't know why but my brain did
6634s	not put together that this was happening
6635s	in the environment you could see some
6637s	crazy mining operation gone wrong here
6640s	almost like it was originally designed
6644s	to be a mining field owned by the GMB
6647s	far before the colonial okar wars and
6650s	because of their mining interest in
6651s	place it created a mass chaos and
6653s	destruction in the surrounding asteroids
6656s	causing them to go overload corrupting
6658s	all the resources and leaving certain
6660s	pockets of individuals left to scrap for
6663s	themselves inside of a turbulent
6667s	gang-infested
6668s	warfare-fueled rage inside of the DMZ
6672s	that's never really seen Colonial uh
6675s	readmission since
6678s	those times it's wild it's it's pretty
6680s	cool
6681s	that's pretty cool I really like the way
6683s	that it captures the essence of uh this
6685s	space very nice
6688s	very rad
6690s	I dig it we've got this one from crispy
6693s	muffin and I just want to say crispy off
6695s	and I am so thankful that you provided a
6698s	terrible shot because I was really
6700s	concerned that all you were going to do
6702s	is provide good shots in the Discord and
6703s	I was gonna have to catalog every single
6705s	one so this means a lot to me I really
6708s	do appreciate that 10 out of 10. this
6711s	one comes from crispy muffin we'll have
6714s	a look at this one as we answer a couple
6715s	more questions here this one's from
6717s	crispy muffin so you look at a crispy
6719s	muffin shot answer a crispy muffin
6721s	question uh will there be an option to
6723s	scale the intensity of screen shake the
6726s	game does not feel a little less intense
6728s	without it but the default amount does
6730s	not does make it me a tad motion sick
6733s	especially when boosting or shooting
6735s	um I think that this is a solid request
6737s	and something that should actually go to
6739s	the forums and see if we could Garner
6741s	Community responses accordingly this is
6745s	something that I personally don't care
6746s	about I want to be real on that I'm not
6748s	saying that you don't care and that this
6749s	thought doesn't matter because it does I
6752s	think it's great but when I'm generally
6754s	playing the game I turn screen check off
6756s	the second I can I am obligated to use
6759s	it during these streams if anyone's like
6760s	but you've had screen Shake on for this
6762s	entire time yeah
6763s	um it just adds a creative effect
6765s	whenever we are presenting this which is
6767s	why I have it on but generally speaking
6769s	when I play video games like I don't
6770s	want it on at all get out of here thank
6773s	you very much so
6775s	um yeah
6777s	perfect
6779s	oh did I get a little
6783s	oh excellent I think that's a fantastic
6786s	idea uh Michael I think that's a
6788s	fantastic idea
6789s	um so uh let's go to the next question
6793s	as well we've got Destra uh speaking of
6796s	changing HUD any chance of the cockpit
6799s	mode taking all the HUD display and
6802s	putting it on dash kind of like how
6804s	Rogue Squadron does when even enemy
6806s	squadrons show up on their radar only I
6808s	love that reference point
6810s	um
6811s	but yeah I mean this is something that
6813s	we've we you know we talked about that a
6815s	long time ago and the immersion factor
6819s	is probably the most important aspect of
6822s	uh you know flying from the cockpit
6825s	right and so from that we also have to
6828s	make sure through that immersion there's
6831s	still gamification that allows
6833s	successful game play right so there's
6837s	already the Restriction of visual
6839s	impairment when you're going into
6841s	cockpit mode right like you already like
6843s	you have a difficulty seeing a little
6845s	bit more what's around you versus third
6846s	person which you see more of that space
6848s	right it's kind of like adjusting your
6851s	uh depth of field and in any action game
6854s	right
6856s	so
6857s	um on that front we could add more
6859s	immersion like hiding the UI behind the
6862s	bars of the cockpit and stuff like that
6865s	um but that comes at a cost that makes
6866s	it even more difficult to play in first
6869s	person mode which we are kind of against
6871s	so while I love this concept I feel that
6877s	an execution from our own personal
6878s	testing this is not a direction that we
6881s	will be taking the game in
6883s	um just due to that inconvenience Factor
6887s	um but that said you know we talked a
6889s	little bit earlier about like changing
6890s	different HUD types that's been a
6893s	discussion internally
6895s	um probably not going to happen but you
6897s	know there might be a function like that
6899s	I it's it's so hard to say I wouldn't
6902s	expect it
6903s	I wouldn't expect it but uh there's an
6905s	idea there that I do think is cool
6908s	but it is a handicap it's a handicap at
6910s	the end of the day
6912s	so cool question this shot also comes
6914s	from crispy muffin by the way
6916s	um love the way that it's highlighting
6918s	the details within this location and
6921s	there's so many crystals in there too
6923s	like goodness gravy
6925s	I just want to plunder this place this
6927s	is awesome but I love the way that the
6929s	light Cascades downward onto this
6932s	smiling equipment
6935s	um in this sort of desolate mine with
6938s	these Hydra niminis just kind of
6940s	chilling kind of doing their thing
6942s	bobbing around as they do
6944s	great little scene well done but
6946s	together
6948s	I dig it
6950s	next up we've got a shot from
6956s	Thunder flame this was Vindicator reek
6960s	for him and this one's just it's it's
6963s	nice simple Pleasant shot of The
6964s	Vindicator with six drones that's that's
6966s	what it is we're not uh we're not doing
6969s	anything any it's not nothing more than
6971s	that it feels good I like the alignment
6973s	of the Drone so well done question from
6975s	Kaza are riffs going to require a
6977s	resource item to open or are they going
6981s	to be spammable like the showcased build
6984s	so our showcase build is spammable for
6987s	design reasons honestly so that we can
6989s	test it accordingly
6991s	um there there are a number of changes
6994s	still coming to the Rifts and how that
6996s	all comes together much like you saw on
6998s	the stream today how it's restricted
7000s	until you're level 25. so that being
7003s	said I don't think we want to tie a
7009s	resource to it
7012s	um but I know that's also been proposed
7014s	it's hard to say I don't know I don't
7017s	know I should answer that with not sure
7020s	um because there's a number of
7021s	directions that we could take it and
7022s	it's going to depend on how the other
7024s	elements surrounding the Rifts uh comes
7026s	together so but at very least I can't
7028s	assure you you have to be at least level
7030s	25 to start going through them that is
7034s	going to be uh at least the the Baseline
7037s	factor in order to trigger these so you
7041s	can't Speed Run the game and be like
7043s	level nine or ten get kala then start
7046s	doing riffs at level 10 equip a
7048s	bajillion legendaries and you know
7050s	you're not going to be able to
7051s	accomplish something like that
7054s	all right next question uh and next
7056s	screenshot we've got this one from high
7058s	barf who showcased a number of them very
7061s	recently in the Discord I wasn't able to
7063s	catalog them all but this one was nice
7065s	it got a couple thumbs up
7066s	um just solid visual vertical visual
7070s	vertical
7071s	whatever you know what I'm saying
7073s	Excelsior has a question would you
7074s	consider adding a deploy animation for
7076s	Vindicator drones
7078s	um a deploy
7081s	um like a transformation animation from
7083s	the Salvage into a drone is that is that
7087s	what the question is
7093s	I mean that sounds cool
7095s	but um
7097s	I don't that's not on the docket
7100s	um
7101s	that's not something that's imperative
7103s	uh in fact we kind of want to keep
7105s	things pretty Snappy so that the players
7107s	can go right into it and get to that
7111s	needy content
7113s	um
7116s	pop this one on the Forum see what other
7118s	people think
7123s	I think it's cool I think it's a great
7125s	suggestion but um
7127s	time tells elements like this
7130s	as you probably know
7132s	you know this falls under the aesthetic
7134s	sort of like goodness that Will adding
7137s	we're still adding so much more of I
7139s	mean you got to see a little bit of it
7140s	today with the biological improvements
7143s	um in the level design but that being
7145s	said like there's still going to be a
7146s	slew more of those like polishing passes
7149s	um and I know animations are kind of a
7152s	big one on that front like we want to do
7154s	a lot more cool animations to the game
7156s	if we're being if I'm being incredibly
7158s	transparent about this
7160s	um
7161s	but yeah I can't I can't speak directly
7164s	on this one I don't think that one's uh
7165s	on the docket
7169s	so uh Fred spec vet again we got a
7172s	couple of questions from uh thanks for
7173s	answering my questions you're welcome
7174s	I'm happy to be here I'm happy that you
7176s	are here to ask said questions it's
7178s	always a delight to engage with the
7180s	community we got another shot from high
7182s	barf here
7183s	um nice little vertical visual inside of
7185s	Drake
7186s	to be clear there can currently be no
7189s	chance of a rift dropping more than one
7192s	legendary currently
7194s	that is correct currently a rift will
7197s	only drop one legendary
7199s	Thomas
7206s	I remember there were four ship
7207s	attributes on legendaries when they were
7209s	first revealed now all of them have
7211s	three will there be four attributes when
7212s	legendaries are released or will it stay
7214s	three I don't freaking know we keep
7215s	going back and forth ourselves
7218s	it's a balancing act you know
7221s	um the initial intent was to have four
7222s	but we're finding more and more that you
7224s	know the one outstanding trait that
7227s	legendaries have should also kind of
7229s	count as a modifier so
7232s	um it's a toss-up really we'll figure it
7234s	out you just determine you know what's
7237s	the most fun uh because even though it's
7240s	kind of a tear in and of itself it's
7242s	already insanely strong with that trait
7244s	benefit so
7246s	um we'll see we'll see
7248s	uh tanadas
7250s	over on Twitch asks in this example the
7253s	500 damage bonus okay yeah yeah I know
7256s	what you're referring to I do in fact
7258s	know what you're referring to
7260s	um but also High bar for another shot
7261s	here 500 damage bonus doesn't only count
7264s	for damage secondary or every secondary
7268s	um so that particular legendary
7271s	unfortunately I don't have it up on the
7272s	screen but that particular legendary
7273s	requires you to gain a charge in order
7276s	to gain that benefit so when you use the
7279s	weapon you build up a charge you reach
7281s	the charge then you apply it to the
7283s	secondary that you fire so it's not
7286s	constantly it's you have to build it up
7288s	first then you launch it okay
7291s	um so yeah
7295s	so make sure that the Target that you
7297s	use such an empowered shot on requires
7300s	significant damage to break it open
7305s	cool uh and I read the rest of your
7308s	question but that I'm pretty sure that
7310s	clarifies those details so good question
7312s	Bearded Frog
7314s	um asks us oh this is the last this is
7316s	the last screenshot we got today that's
7318s	it we're done that's it that's all the
7320s	screenshots see I said it was going to
7322s	be short and sweet so we're going to
7323s	like start cycling back around I think
7325s	um we only have like three minutes left
7327s	so I'm gonna try to get these questions
7328s	out Bearded Frog so we can't equip more
7330s	than one legendary or is there going to
7331s	be some method to equip more than one
7333s	that we unlock like a perch tree or
7334s	something or is that just not decided on
7336s	yet it's definitely decided on and it's
7338s	definitely uh going to be something we
7339s	talk about more in the future
7342s	excellent uh dragon T the see-through
7346s	reflecting panel was awesome can will
7348s	you make it so other grabbable objects
7350s	become see-through like the panel please
7351s	oh my gosh dude
7355s	ah Marco is dying right now uh with that
7360s	question being asked because this is
7361s	something that we've we've gone back and
7363s	forth with this so many times it's not a
7365s	matter of like we don't want to do it
7367s	it's a technical issue that it creates
7369s	so um because this is something that the
7372s	whole team I think for the most part
7373s	agrees should be done
7376s	um and it's
7379s	there has been time and energy sunk into
7382s	this and the results
7384s	have been a waste of time unfortunately
7387s	so we have to like cut our losses and
7389s	say what needs to be focused on like do
7391s	we need to focus on like these other
7392s	aspects like can we still work around
7394s	this like is this game breaking
7397s	um and based on the feedback that we've
7398s	received as well as our own observations
7400s	internally it's not game breaking it
7403s	sucks we we think that it's it's you
7406s	know
7407s	especially if you're like in the first
7408s	person mode definitely doesn't feel good
7410s	at all times but we don't feel that it
7413s	is game breaking
7415s	maybe this is something we can revisit
7417s	again I hope so I personally hope so but
7420s	uh
7421s	that's not a priority unfortunately
7424s	Excelsior asks any news regarding the
7426s	ghost concept from a while back uh no
7429s	[Music]
7432s	thunderflame from YouTube I wanted to
7434s	ask if you are looking into stopping the
7436s	Flack from triggering because of dead
7438s	enemies for example when you kill them
7439s	they fly by a bit then explode
7443s	that is an interesting observation
7446s	um I haven't that's not been something
7448s	at the top of my mind because I don't
7449s	use Flack because it's a terrible weapon
7452s	thank you
7454s	[Music]
7455s	I think that sounds I think that sounds
7457s	pretty cool I think that sounds like it
7459s	makes a lot of sense
7461s	um yeah I could propose that to the team
7464s	it might be even better so that I don't
7466s	forget and uh you don't get lost in the
7468s	mix if you submit that on the forums
7470s	because I I do like that I do like that
7472s	a lot
7473s	um I don't know what that looks like
7474s	from a technical perspective however so
7477s	it could be very easily shot down uh
7481s	so we'll see some of the weirdest things
7484s	get you on a technical level in game
7486s	design seriously it's nuts like some
7488s	things you're just like it should be so
7490s	easy to just implement this thing it's
7493s	like nah nah dog that's not how that
7495s	works I know there's other things like
7497s	oh man I know this is going to sound
7498s	really complicated but it would be
7499s	awesome if you like revamp the system to
7501s	where it did this thing and it navigated
7502s	the space in a different way and you're
7503s	like oh yeah we can do that boop boop
7505s	done it's nuts it's crazy so uh we
7509s	really do appreciate your guys patience
7511s	as we continue to navigate the
7513s	development of everspace 2. it is a why
7515s	wild ride isn't it there's so much
7517s	content that we've been working on and
7520s	refining and just goodness but I am
7523s	really thankful that you all show up to
7524s	these streams You observe where we're at
7527s	why we're doing what we're doing and
7529s	then you ask these questions so that we
7531s	can refine this experience together
7534s	so important so important I see somebody
7538s	says that I missed a question uh oh oh
7541s	uh what's what's the question that I
7543s	potentially missed because we are
7544s	technically done with questions but I'm
7545s	going to answer it because I love you
7548s	I'm here for you what's the question
7549s	answer ask real quick t3q
7556s	oh you did ask it again okay
7558s	can you can you use
7561s	a weapon that doesn't deal damage like
7564s	destabilizer or Weber that gets affected
7566s	by 500 uh I haven't personally tested
7568s	yet it probably would negate the charge
7570s	I probably would ah but also we haven't
7574s	gone through and fine-tuned every single
7576s	interaction between equipment yet that's
7577s	on the docket
7579s	um and that might even be something uh
7581s	that's kind of pushed off until the
7584s	update even so that you guys can also
7585s	help us catch them because there's a lot
7587s	of varying interactions let's be honest
7590s	but that is a good observation it's
7592s	probably borked right now probably more
7596s	so thank you for that uh very very good
7598s	all right guys that's all the questions
7601s	if you missed uh getting your question
7604s	answered you can head on over to the

7612s	can also hang out with us over there
7614s	um I promise you it's a pretty good time
7616s	we have a lot of chatter around a lot of
7619s	a lot of random things honestly uh but
7622s	it's good it's a good space to just
7623s	chill while you're waiting on things
7625s	um believe it or not the dev team is
7628s	rather active in that space you might
7631s	not see too much of us responding here
7634s	and there but we are constantly Vigilant
7637s	over the conversations had the topics
7640s	being discussed uh and the concerns that
