| 305s | one of the dev team uh I've been trying |
| 307s | to get them not strong arming them or |
| 309s | anything like that but I've been trying |
| 310s | to get them to uh to come on do some |
| 312s | interviews we did have Yan uh previously |
| 315s | and um we've managed to get one of our |
| 318s | other team uh senior gameplay programmer |

| 342s | inertia dampeners at scrapyard yes let's |
| 345s | see what we can achieve there I have |
| 347s | been practicing some failures some |
| 350s | successes but hey we'll give it a will |
| 353s | see if we can do it live on stream it's |
| 355s | always a challenge isn't it h and then |
| 357s | as usual we're going to be finishing up |
| 358s | with our um screenshots um rfg devs have |
| 363s | picked and boy of they picked they've |
| 366s | really |
| 368s | really struggled this week to to choose |
| 370s | their Top Choice it was very very |
| 373s | close you'll have to see who wins out on |
| 376s | this one so um yeah if you got any |
| 378s | questions already do get them fired in |
| 381s | we'll try and answer them the best we |
| 382s | can uh if not then we'll follow up with |
| 384s | you as always uh yeah I think I think |
| 389s | Le's very very uh true there in the |
| 391s | comments yes it can be uh can be |
| 393s | difficult to get the the team to come on |
| 395s | uh we respect their privacy as well uh |
| 398s | and uh we're very thankful for those |
| 400s | that do come on as well so we managed to |
| 402s | have a cracking interview which I'll |
| 403s | show you in a little bit so anyway |
| 406s | without further Ado let's get loaded up |
| 408s | uh my stream save here there is at Kato |
| 412s | Palace yes absolutely we're back there |
| 414s | aren't |
| 416s | we so I hope you've all been playing I |
| 419s | hope you've all been trying to finish |
| 420s | those uh 2,000 lunacy Rifts Adam there |
| 425s | you are come on in Dear Boy actually I |
| 429s | was hoping to see Daryl this time yeah |
| 430s | cuz we just finished and we just sted |
| 432s | when we saved darl is indisposed at the |
| 435s | moment is but I can appreciate you need |
| 438s | some kind of explanation for the |
| 440s | missions he be good Mr will be good we |
| 442s | be good got a bit hot out there I can't |
| 445s | believe I went through all that for |
| 446s | fruit we've known each other a while now |
| 449s | Adam you're like family to me and we |
| 451s | have cause for |
| 453s | celebration Champlain uh was it Jerry |
| 455s | actually good question just about |
| 457s | regarding the in as while Mr kto was |
| 459s | talking there some of them actually are |
| 460s | quite shy and some people just don't |
| 462s | want to be on camera um or just to be |
| 466s | involved in that kind of thing we |
| 467s | totally respect that um you know not |
| 469s | everybody's kind of outgoing um so yeah |
| 472s | sometimes it can be a little bit |
| 473s | daunting because even though being a |
| 475s | Game Dev does mean at times you have to |
| 477s | interact with the public |
| 480s | always do you want to be doing it kind |
| 481s | of on camera or you know uh we could |
| 485s | almost say it's not part of the job |
| 486s | description no we're very thankful for |
| 488s | those that do come on we've got some |
| 490s | more lined up as well and I think even |
| 492s | even the big boss man himself CEO |
| 494s | Michael is uh is going to drop in at |
| 497s | some point so we'll have a good chat |
| 498s | with him about everything to do with |
| 499s | being a CEO and all that kind of |
| 501s | shinanigans which will be |
| 504s | good I risked my life three times for |
| 508s | plushies you did |
| 510s | sorry you RIS your life for |
| 514s | plushies so we know that this quest uh |
| 517s | this Mission rather is going to give us |
| 519s | a nice nice new weapon that we're going |
| 522s | to be slotting in uh so if you ever want |
| 524s | to pick up one of the legendaries very |
| 526s | early in the game or earlyish mid |
| 529s | level definitely get one from this quest |
| 532s | line which is always useful and I did |
| 534s | use it honey previously on one way run a |
| 538s | couple of hours |
| 540s | anyway to love to love indeed love I |
| 544s | guess Maryann will see you out don't |
| 547s | forget to check in with her for jobs |

| 1040s | joining us on these streams uh we do |
| 1042s | like to do them for you for a bit of |
| 1043s | entertainment and obviously for you to |
| 1045s | ask questions and uh and see what's |
| 1047s | happening in the world of development |
| 1049s | um hello what are you doing shooting at |
| 1051s | me that's not very friendly is it go way |
| 1055s | Mr Dr thank you |
| 1059s | go oh containers see containers they're |
| 1062s | a bit like side quests aren't they you |
| 1064s | you see side quest and then you just off |
| 1066s | you go I must stop |
| 1070s | myself |
| 1073s | yeah uh I know the uh the interview does |
| 1076s | run um uh quite a long time uh that |
| 1079s | we've got with to and it's not a problem |
| 1081s | obviously because it was a great little |
| 1082s | interview and we had a great chat about |
| 1084s | all things to do with uh development and |
| 1087s | uh and stuff which you'll see uh I'm |
| 1089s | sure you'll all enjoy it uh so what I'm |
| 1091s | probably going to do pull up blueprint |
| 1094s | is as I see the uh as I see the |
| 1096s | questions that Lee is colleting so if |
| 1098s | you want to tag him I'll probably try |
| 1099s | and answer them on the Fly uh as we go |
| 1103s | so that we get a bit more gameplay and |
| 1105s | uh hopefully no death uh but then we'll |
| 1108s | see |
| 1109s | um uh see if we can answer them as as we |
| 1115s | go I G and oh g& B we leave me alone |
| 1121s | that's just what I need exactly it's |
| 1123s | just what we need right where you are |
| 1125s | our bosss a with you I bet he does |
| 1127s | nobody tells me what to do let's just |
| 1130s | jump away a little bit right where UG |
| 1132s | and |
| 1135s | B oink |
| 1148s | W that did hit hard |
| 1155s | that let's just scoot away let's just |
| 1158s | turn |
| 1159s | around |
| 1164s | okay the lock I gone |
| 1169s | okay that can do a great deal of damage |
| 1171s | but H let's H in hit |
| 1177s | now there we go you some credits we get |
| 1182s | these other the credits as |
| 1184s | well absolutely the accumulation of |
| 1187s | credit seems to make humans happy |
| 1189s | apparently it does o ship wreck let's go |
| 1192s | get |
| 1193s | that let's go get |
| 1196s | that of you hello |
| 1200s | okay |
| 1201s | Ramen everything that you need uh yeah |
| 1204s | um I've just seen a question from deor |
| 1206s | over on Twitch uh just regarding the uh |
| 1209s | track IR uh yeah we did actually fix |
| 1212s | that uh a while ago I believe earlier |
| 1214s | the when we changed from one real Engine |
| 1216s | 4 to one real Engine 5 we we did |
| 1218s | actually fix that so that should be all |
| 1220s | working should be all fixed um so yeah |
| 1223s | there was a glitching especially around |
| 1226s | um uh big settlements like Prescott Etc |
| 1230s | where the the cursor would jump around |
| 1233s | uh quite dramatically or the um |
| 1234s | crosshairs rather so yeah that should be |
| 1237s | all fixed uh if anybody gets a report |
| 1240s | that there's an issue then please as |
| 1241s | always do let us know uh we'll have a |
| 1245s | look Roslin we've intercepted a Mayday |
| 1249s | from a convoy under attack by a large |
| 1251s | Outlaw missile I have another contractor |
| 1253s | responding back them up remember we're |
| 1257s | looking for containment we're looking |
| 1259s | for containment uh so this is obviously |
| 1262s | uh for those of you don't know these |
| 1263s | missions that I'm just starting up with |
| 1265s | cardinas here um he's part of the Titans |
| 1268s | uh specifically this is the Leviathan um |
| 1271s | quest line that we're going to be |
| 1272s | following just for a little bit uh just |
| 1274s | to open this up so if you haven't |
| 1276s | already purchased the Titans DLC you'll |
| 1277s | get to see a little bit um we got a |
| 1280s | question from Flory over on Twitch uh |
| 1282s | since space whales are now alive and |
| 1285s | well how is space cracken |
| 1289s | I think I mean we might as well just go |
| 1291s | through the whole um repertoire of |
| 1293s | different creatures I think you know |
| 1295s | we'll have space Dolphins uh Krakens uh |
| 1297s | shrimp spare shrimp should should we see |
| 1300s | if we can get that uh shoe horned in |
| 1302s | there um how about I don't know |
| 1306s | um space sharks yeah we try that should |
| 1310s | we try |
| 1314s | that um John Tesh over on YouTube uh |
| 1320s | um uh when will we release a PS5 Pro |
| 1323s | patch um we're certainly looking at |
| 1325s | these kind of things and improvements |
| 1327s | that we can make with the PlayStation 5 |
| 1328s | Pro which was obviously I think was |
| 1330s | released yesterday if I remember |
| 1332s | correctly um so yeah if we can make |
| 1335s | improvements on that then we will um but |
| 1339s | uh we can't say anything on that just at |
| 1340s | the moment and typ Kibbles uh will Gary |
| 1344s | beatbox at the end of today's stream to |
| 1345s | compensate you really don't want to see |
| 1347s | my my beatbox in and uh |
| 1350s | yeah not that I've really tried to be |
| 1352s | fair that's probably why it's quite |
| 1361s | horrendous uh I was just going there uh |
| 1364s | sorry how you doing over on Twitch uh |
| 1366s | any plans to uh explain the Leviathan in |
| 1370s | the Drake |
| 1375s | system uh it could be something that we |
| 1377s | could look at um I think that's very |
| 1379s | much down |
| 1380s | to I'd say the rating team um whether we |
| 1383s | kind of put explanation in there um but |
| 1387s | not everything will be explained |
| 1390s | um I'm just going to hold out that now |
| 1393s | one thing I will say is that sometimes |
| 1395s | obviously we put things in and we don't |
| 1396s | always completely embellish the law |
| 1399s | around something because we put some |
| 1401s | things that are really good for game |
| 1402s | play or a good uh fictitious element now |
| 1406s | if we could create an absolutely huge |
| 1409s | huge world and fill it all the law in |
| 1411s | we'd love to but that's going to take a |
| 1413s | very very long time uh sometimes you've |
| 1415s | got to remember it can be just for |
| 1417s | gameplay elements rather than uh |
| 1420s | complete World building however uh if we |
| 1423s | can at some point explain certain |
| 1425s | elements then yes we we would definitely |
| 1426s | do |
| 1427s | that uh demonator um there was a system |
| 1431s | called athon not sure if you got the |
| 1432s | name right you did well done uh is there |
| 1434s | a way to get there um Aon is only |
| 1437s | available through |
| 1440s | um uh some of the main story line uh |
| 1442s | some of you will obviously have got |
| 1444s | there some of you might not have um but |
| 1447s | you only get there during those uh |
| 1450s | gameplay story lines not |
| 1454s | afterwards right last time we came here |
| 1457s | I died I just remembered this is not |
| 1459s | your typical jump gate definitely not |
| 1461s | typical jump indicate that this is the |
| 1463s | gate to the K nebula certain markings |
| 1466s | bear a resemblance to architecture of |
| 1468s | the Ancients however recently let's blow |
| 1471s | some of these things up while hives |
| 1473s | having his little J Jaber there neul it |
| 1476s | is renowned for its inhospitable nature |
| 1478s | due mainly to the dangerous Flora which |
| 1480s | inhabit it there are also of fora unique |
| 1485s | to the area which have yet to be |
| 1486s | entirely what is the range on this 2,000 |
| 1491s | and that's 1,700 okay let's open up with |
| 1493s | you interfere without |
| 1495s | invitation prepare to be met what the |
| 1499s | hey turn down the volume guys yeah turn |
| 1501s | down the volume jeez Surrender Your |
| 1503s | Vessel and Sh yourself of your material |
| 1506s | guard in order to pass through the |
| 1508s | portal of redemption and gain Eternal |
| 1512s | wisdom the good thing we Splash damage |
| 1514s | is when anything has a shield it can |
| 1516s | generally get around it especially if it |
| 1518s | splashes at the side of |
| 1523s | it okay right so |
| 1527s | we okay |
| 1529s | okay we do need to open up some of get |
| 1534s | rid of that hey hold up who are you |
| 1538s | thank you for the intervention but I |
| 1540s | must hurry to save my father they have |
| 1543s | to save father he went through only a |
| 1544s | short time ago whoa whoa wait please you |
| 1546s | are in no way equipped to take on those |
| 1548s | crazies why don't you tell me about your |
| 1551s | situation and what you know about these |
| 1553s | freaks gmbb have abandoned the Kay |
| 1555s | nebula and the redeemers have taken |
| 1557s | complete control over it yep they claim |
| 1560s | to have captured wardens and that they |
| 1562s | can commune with the Ancients themselves |
| 1564s | but I believe they may have become |
| 1566s | possessed by them the black eyes exactly |
| 1571s | and soon unless I act fast they will |
| 1573s | turn my father into one of them why |
| 1575s | would your father have gone there in the |
| 1577s | first place exactly he was Leed there |
| 1579s | with the promise of being able to study |
| 1581s | a warden up close other scientists went |
| 1583s | before him just hold on a minute while I |
| 1586s | think about this try to clear the gate |
| 1588s | for safe passage |
| 1592s | first okay that's that nope they didn't |
| 1595s | come so let's go do the other |
| 1599s | side around here isn't it for that |
| 1609s | one |
| 1611s | go oh go oh it's this one isn't |
| 1615s | it there we go |
| 1623s | anybody can turn up nope I need to |
| 1625s | destroy that |
| 1635s | one there we go you will be crushed into |
| 1639s | submission and your soul fed to the |
| 1643s | ancient all right take it easy |
| 1656s | there we go you were able to just get |
| 1658s | around his shield which made that a lot |
| 1661s | easier a lot easier I really can't let |
| 1663s | you do that not in that craft look why |
| 1666s | don't you let me track him down I'm sure |
| 1669s | he would appreciate your loyalty and all |
| 1670s | he would but he would prefer it more if |
| 1672s | you remain safe exactly I suppose he |
| 1675s | would but time is so short what's your |
| 1678s | name I am imen my father is left lights |
| 1682s | on IM I'll track down your father these |
| 1685s | cultists are seriously dangerous if you |
| 1688s | stay put here I'll be in contact shortly |
| 1692s | thank you please be quick I'll do my |
| 1697s | best I I know you're teasing there b |
| 1699s | frog uh B frog has just asked if I'll |
| 1702s | ever play or feel confident enough to |
| 1703s | play on a proper difficulty setting now |
| 1706s | I play I'm playing on hard uh normally |
| 1709s | most games that I play I play through on |
| 1710s | normal and then if I feel like I can up |
| 1712s | the uh the actual difficulty level then |
| 1715s | then I will um however and this is for |
| 1719s | for all the uh the players out there |
| 1721s | that maybe watch this in the future |
| 1723s | whatever level of difficulty you want to |
| 1725s | play on whether it's very easy to |
| 1726s | nightmare that is um entail it to you |
| 1730s | and it's what the enjoyment you get from |
| 1732s | that game if something's too hard turn |
| 1734s | it down and conversely if it's too easy |
| 1737s | then feel that challenge and tweak it up |
| 1739s | um that's why we have the options there |
| 1741s | uh we do want people to enjoy the game |
| 1743s | um I think if I was dying you know every |
| 1747s | time I was in a in in a battle with |
| 1748s | something then yeah it probably be |
| 1750s | entertaining for for a little while but |
| 1753s | then eventually I think it would get a |
| 1754s | little bit tiresome so uh and plus |
| 1757s | people want to see me flying around and |
| 1758s | that if I keep dying it doesn't |
| 1760s | generally become as much fun uh guess |
| 1763s | they want to see all the combat and the |
| 1764s | various places so uh yeah one day one |
| 1768s | see I might be able to get to uh to |
| 1772s | nightmare and this is one of our most |
| 1774s | wonderful Vistas within the game I think |
| 1776s | anywh uh with the |
| 1779s | jellyfish uh the star in the background |
| 1782s | this is very interesting and |
| 1785s | then is that a warden they really have |
| 1789s | captured a damn Warden the beams appear |
| 1792s | to be draining the entity of its energy |
| 1795s | until now it was not thought possible to |
| 1798s | harness the the power of the Ancients |
| 1800s | what witnessing here however radically |
| 1803s | Alters that assumption I am picking up |
| 1806s | the life signal of the young lady's |
| 1808s | father from a nearby |
| 1810s | vessel keep a trace on it |
| 1815s | hi yeah that death counter is still sat |
| 1817s | there I think we're at 7 or 8 something |
| 1819s | like that around there it could still |
| 1821s | happen your priority is your search for |
| 1823s | Eduardo now you see these redeemers are |
| 1825s | level 19 here that one's a 1718 so this |
| 1828s | is kind of I'd have to be careful with |
| 1831s | that Elite over there that would |
| 1833s | potentially be difficult for for me to |
| 1835s | uh and uh end up in a whole world of |
| 1840s | hurt I may take on |
| 1843s | these just here if we can but I'm just |
| 1846s | going to sweep around pick on these |
| 1849s | level 18s perhaps there another Crusader |
| 1852s | there your impurity must be crushed by |
| 1855s | the indignation of righteousness |
| 1858s | wow these guys aren't playing at |
| 1870s | [Music] |
| 1875s | all okay Purge the trespasser from our |
| 1884s | domain H the E again why I was cloting |
| 1889s | off into the uh Into The Ether there a |
| 1891s | little |
| 1896s | bit okay that's one |
| 1900s | down there we go don't with them okay go |
| 1905s | reactive |
| 1908s | Rader all right |
| 1911s | okay think we'll leave those alone for |
| 1914s | the time being let's just dive out of |
| 1915s | here |
| 1923s | uh sorry just asked another question |
| 1925s | over on Twitch uh did a Dev voice the |
| 1928s | redeemers if so can we get a live demo |
| 1930s | someday I don't believe it was I believe |
| 1933s | it was under the voiceover artist um I'd |
| 1935s | have to double check but I'm fairly |
| 1936s | certain it wasn't one of the devs some |
| 1940s | of the devs do have their voices in the |
| 1941s | game uh specifically um I say |
| 1944s | specifically uh partially in the kind of |
| 1947s | background traffic behavior um around |
| 1950s | Prescott I know that there's definitely |
| 1952s | some in there so um yeah but I don't |
| 1955s | think they they vo the |
| 1957s | redeemers right let's |
| 1960s | just let's just check so uh so go to |
| 1964s | ulanov Rift okay just sh |
| 1970s | there oh we just jumped through didn't |
| 1972s | we I need to go back |
| 1973s | again I forgot I came in |
| 1976s | here let's just go |
| 1978s | about I went through the gate and I was |
| 1980s | like no I don't need to go through |
| 1989s | that let's just |
| 1995s | H boink thank |
| 1998s | you there we go CLE the |
| 2000s | jellyfish yeah we've open that up anyway |
| 2003s | at least we know we can come into here |
| 2004s | now let's get through |
| 2006s | here but yeah I'd have to definitely uh |
| 2009s | double check I'm fairly certain it |
| 2011s | wasn't any of the dev team that did the |
| 2013s | voiceovers for the |
| 2018s | redeemers but I I'll ask on Monday see |
| 2021s | if anybody can remember if they were |
| 2022s | involved in any Shenanigans of |
| 2036s | that oh yeah decean been playing the |
| 2039s | game with a hotas and uh no accuracy |
| 2041s | help makes the game difficult yeah I can |
| 2042s | imagine it would to be fair uh I can |
| 2046s | think that uh it's one of the toughest |
| 2048s | ways to play the game um but then again |
| 2050s | a lot of people like the immersion which |
| 2053s | I'm all for uh sometimes I play with a |
| 2055s | track IR uh which is uh nice because |
| 2059s | kind of head tracking so you can look |
| 2060s | around when you need to similar to |
| 2062s | having you you know holding down the out |
| 2064s | key as such but when you're in the |
| 2065s | combat uh just your head movement allows |
| 2067s | you to do that so at some point I'll |
| 2069s | I'll bring that back out so that people |
| 2070s | can see how we uh how we've utilized |
| 2073s | head tracking I have done it before so |
| 2075s | uh yeah we'll uh we may do that in the |
| 2078s | future good call good |
| 2080s | call right let's get there let's do our |
| 2084s | first part of the Titans CU i' gone off |
| 2086s | in a wrong |
| 2096s | direction where is |
| 2099s | it detecting a large mass |

| 2559s | and dismantle |
| 2560s | here get rid of that Rockets no better |
| 2564s | that's no better uh take that take that |
| 2567s | a job kid I'm already reviewing Mr yun's |
| 2571s | footage good well done looks like gotier |
| 2574s | hired local Outlaws to supplement her |
| 2576s | group but why were they steel Shield |
| 2578s | generators indeed let's not speculate |
| 2580s | over comms Associates of mine will |
| 2583s | debrief the civilians I'll be in touch |
| 2585s | when the target reappears I like it I |
| 2587s | like it right let's just |
| 2590s | check uh that can go as well we will |
| 2594s | activate that cuz that gets out of the |
| 2597s | way sell that that's fine let's open the |
| 2600s | container o |
| 2603s | Blueprints and rakim's foresight and the |
| 2606s | prime Strat of cumulus |
| 2608s | nice |
| 2611s | nice have a look see then oh blueprint |
| 2615s | smoke screen yes uh we did have an |
| 2617s | interesting question actually the |
| 2621s | um uh somebody was asking that they |
| 2623s | hadn't got any drops uh for the |
| 2625s | catalysts Etc from the |
| 2628s | Titans uh now even though you may have |
| 2630s | the Titans DLC installed there are some |
| 2633s | certain prerequisites in terms of |
| 2635s | starting up the missions obviously to |
| 2636s | get uh access to the story line you have |
| 2638s | to be um specific ones have to be done |
| 2642s | uh and also you have to be so many |
| 2643s | missions in before the items start |
| 2646s | dropping such as catalysts now the |
| 2648s | reason for that is that if we don't all |
| 2650s | of a sudden You' be |
| 2652s | dropping potentially kind of spoilery |
| 2655s | weapons |
| 2656s | or um Catalyst that you'd be like what's |
| 2659s | this related to this doesn't sound right |
| 2661s | and then we could have a potential spoil |
| 2663s | so uh if you are playing through and |
| 2665s | you're you may be a bit under level |
| 2666s | maybe around level 12 13 something like |
| 2669s | that and you haven't got to some of the |
| 2671s | specific opening quests or missions then |
| 2674s | that'll be why you're not seeing them |
| 2675s | yet so uh |
| 2678s | yeah uh interesting to see I know Lee |
| 2680s | asked a question and I'll just uh shout |
| 2683s | out for everybody in the chat um if you |
| 2685s | would have someone from the team or |
| 2686s | connected to the game be interviewed uh |
| 2689s | what questions would you have yeah very |
| 2691s | very good uh I know some people were |
| 2692s | saying um you know that they they' like |
| 2694s | to ask G um you know some questions cuz |
| 2697s | they like the |
| 2699s | OST |
| 2700s | um excelia would like to know more about |
| 2702s | the music and sound effect creation |
| 2704s | obviously that was mostly probably in |
| 2706s | G's hands as well um B frogs HC I'd love |
| 2712s | to interview with te's uh not only is a |
| 2714s | great guy would love to talk about the |
| 2716s | future of the UI and large changes |
| 2718s | planned cool cool cool that's very very |
| 2721s | good yeah if you do have any suggestions |
| 2723s | for questions to to put to the team then |
| 2724s | do please uh do please let us know um |
| 2727s | obviously I do the interviews and we ask |
| 2729s | a lot of |
| 2731s | um similar questions obviously CU um |
| 2735s | we're all on the same team but if |
| 2736s | there's any specific that you'd like to |
| 2738s | ask then we may be able to sneak th |
| 2740s | those in now good news for some of you |
| 2742s | guys um obviously mentioned go and |
| 2745s | obviously teas um they both agreed to do |
| 2749s | an interview uh so yes I've managed to |
| 2753s | wangle an interview with those again |
| 2755s | it's something that we need to plan uh |
| 2757s | uh because we're we're head down onto |
| 2759s | working with new stuff obviously as you |
| 2761s | know uh there's a new expansion coming |
| 2763s | out next year not a spoiler obviously |
| 2765s | everybody knows that I always got to be |
| 2767s | so mindful of uh whether I go oops was I |
| 2769s | supposed to say that so um yeah those |
| 2773s | two are going to be lined up as well |
| 2774s | which I think is going to be good uh cuz |
| 2776s | it's not often that you get to um talk |
| 2779s | to the devs and uh ask a question I |
| 2781s | don't always get a chance myself we may |
| 2783s | message Etc and have questions and and |
| 2786s | answers fly playing around uh during the |
| 2789s | day but not we don't regularly sit down |
| 2791s | uh to actually have um any form of uh uh |
| 2796s | conversation Flory that's a sneaky one |
| 2799s | um what is the new expansion called it's |
| 2804s | TBD not telling |
| 2806s | [Laughter] |
| 2811s | you people going to be saying the new |
| 2813s | expansion is called TBD |
| 2815s | yeah to be deter |
| 2819s | mined there we go I I I'm I'm going to |
| 2821s | actually just go into camera mode cuz I |
| 2823s | think this is one of the gorgeous |
| 2824s | environments here and we've had some |
| 2826s | brilliant screenshots as well that we've |
| 2828s | seen uh from players but I just love |
| 2831s | that kind of environment I think it's so |
| 2833s | pretty I mean our game is such a um um a |
| 2839s | wallpaper Creator uh not only is it's a |
| 2842s | um uh a good game obviously very biased |
| 2846s | um but I think he's also if you want to |
| 2848s | create some wonderful screenshots then |
| 2849s | you can and I think this wonderful |
| 2852s | atmosphere here from the art team uh uh |
| 2855s | and I think Tony was involved in all |
| 2857s | this yeah so |
| 2860s | uh so it's starting now everybody's like |
| 2862s | so when's the new DLC going to be |
| 2864s | released uh honestly guys once we have |
| 2866s | some information on that we will be |
| 2868s | letting you know uh but uh yeah not yet |
| 2872s | not yet |
| 2874s | okay I love your enthusiasm uh and it's |
| 2877s | it's always a pleasure to hear you |
| 2878s | because I know that it means you guys |
| 2879s | are stoked for more content for the game |
| 2881s | just as we are for for creating it uh |
| 2884s | and we get to show it off to you all you |
| 2887s | know in the future which I can't wait to |
| 2891s | do right let's get out of here shall |
| 2896s | we |
| 2898s | boom right let's have a little look see |
| 2901s | on the map so there's a hit charer there |
| 2903s | we've got a high risk there oh actually |
| 2905s | that's only level 15 maybe we should ATT |
| 2907s | that cuz we are 16 now but let's have a |
| 2910s | look at |
| 2916s | our mind you that's the auto Genesis |
| 2919s | isn't it so while in combat armor |
| 2920s | regenerates 2% per second so long as the |
| 2922s | shields are |
| 2925s | full um that's a 16 |
| 2930s | rare well Shield is active energy OBS a |
| 2932s | pull from a 2,000 oo see that's that's a |
| 2937s | potentially good swap there I think I'm |
| 2939s | actually going to do it I'm going to |
| 2940s | break the Genesis the autonomous |
| 2944s | set I didn't like doing it I really |
| 2947s | didn't like doing it but I think I think |
| 2949s | it's a possible that I needed to |
| 2951s | do |
| 2953s | um that's the together we |
| 2956s | oh I got two of them I one's fire power |
| 2960s | one structure for the |
| 2962s | censor |
| 2966s | um I I I think I'll swap it just because |
| 2968s | of the increasing range |
| 2970s | uh I got some good |
| 2973s | stuff uh uh UI stands for so Dean UI |
| 2977s | stands for user interface like this is |
| 2979s | what I'm looking at now and then ux is |
| 2983s | the user experience so maybe navigating |
| 2986s | around the user interface how does the |
| 2988s | player experience it that uh you know |
| 2991s | that kind of thing so |
| 2996s | yeah uh |
| 2997s | [Music] |
| 2999s | um cool excelsia I'd like to see an |
| 3002s | interview with Marco Okay is the game of |
| 3004s | so many beautiful environments I'd like |
| 3006s | to know more about the planet creation |
| 3007s | process we'll have to see if we can get |
| 3009s | Marco to come on I shall definitely ask |
| 3011s | him in the future we've got a few lined |
| 3012s | up as well and uh hopefully one or two |
| 3015s | of the voiceover artists as well for our |
| 3018s | [Music] |
| 3020s | characters excellent excellent right |
| 3022s | let's just is there anything |
| 3025s | else oh yeah that's a exactly the same |
| 3027s | isn't it that |
| 3029s | one 4% increase Shield hit points not |
| 3032s | really going to go that I'm actually |
| 3034s | going to dismantle |
| 3037s | that uh do I do I dismantle it that's |
| 3040s | the question I'm kind |
| 3043s | of okay I've got the blueprint on lot |
| 3045s | for that I may just sell it I may need |
| 3047s | to just go somewhere and just sell some |
| 3049s | stuff let's just sell some stuff shall |
| 3051s | we vzna let's go to vzna let's go to |
| 3054s | that wonderful place of vzna uh another |
| 3057s | wonderful |
| 3066s | [Music] |
| 3075s | environment oops didn't even see that |
| 3077s | ship there as I was flying in I thought |
| 3080s | could have been a bit of an accident in |
| 3083s | an increase in our insurance premiums |
| 3085s | there for def it |
| 3088s | let's sell some stuff let's sell some |
| 3090s | stuff we need some repairs as well uh |
| 3094s | okay so what can we get rid of see that |
| 3096s | auto Cannon see that's 10% experience |
| 3099s | per kill that's actually quite |
| 3101s | nice |
| 3103s | uh let's |
| 3105s | s uh while we're just doing this couple |
| 3108s | of questions um davinator is asked any |
| 3111s | co-op hord mode multiplayer for the |
| 3113s | future um no uh this question has come |
| 3117s | up quite a lot uh and it's still |
| 3119s | something that we've not got planned now |
| 3122s | the reason behind that is that we would |
| 3124s | have to significantly rewrite the game |
| 3126s | to um plunk in uh for for one of a |
| 3129s | better phrase um or Implement uh co-op |
| 3132s | mode or multiplayer uh |
| 3135s | specifically uh the reason for that is a |
| 3137s | lot of our environments are made for |
| 3140s | kind of single player um so whilst it |
| 3145s | sounds easy and I know the games have |
| 3146s | maybe created a multiplayer mod and Etc |
| 3150s | it is actually quite difficult to |
| 3151s | implement correctly into our game um so |
| 3154s | no not for um for ever Space 2 that is a |
| 3159s | fact um followup question when can we |
| 3163s | get a female voice for Hive now there is |
| 3165s | a tiny little bit in the game if um if |
| 3169s | you've heard um there is a hive female |
| 3174s | uh voice for however that is the only |
| 3177s | time that it's going to appear now again |
| 3180s | the reason behind that is that when you |
| 3183s | consider already that we have fully |
| 3187s | voiced German and fully voiced English |
| 3190s | um the game you know so all our |
| 3192s | characters have um uh voice over in |
| 3195s | those |
| 3196s | languages now if we were to introduce a |
| 3200s | female Hive we would have to record all |
| 3203s | the voice lines in two different |
| 3205s | languages and two different genders so |
| 3211s | that would be a Monumental task |
| 3215s | um so probably not uh yes I think you |
| 3219s | correct there Flory yes uh the voice |
| 3221s | over actor that plays um uh the |
| 3224s | wonderful Commander as you said uh does |
| 3226s | do the voice for the hive with a bit of |
| 3228s | modulation so it's very unlikely um it |
| 3232s | voiceover work takes a long time because |
| 3234s | you've got to do a lot of planning a lot |
| 3236s | of writing and and then doing the actual |
| 3238s | voice over is uh especially |
| 3240s | timeconsuming so um yeah it's it's very |
| 3243s | very unlikely and I think that's just |
| 3245s | being honest um it may be disappointing |
| 3247s | because I'm sure people would love the |
| 3250s | the fact of having uh a female Hive um |
| 3254s | equivalent or a different high voice um |
| 3256s | but it does take time to do um and we're |
| 3258s | not a massive team we do keep saying |
| 3260s | this and you know we don't want to labor |
| 3262s | that point but uh the the dialogue um is |
| 3266s | quite extensive within the game um and |
| 3269s | to do that and record even one character |
| 3272s | and he's a hive is a main character |
| 3275s | essentially into uh another person |
| 3277s | having to do that and then having |
| 3278s | another person doing it in German as |
| 3280s | well you can see that just for that |
| 3283s | character alone uh the work has doubled |
| 3286s | so yeah unlikely |
| 3290s | unlikely right let's just sell some |
| 3292s | other stuff yeah you can go yep yep uh |
| 3297s | you can |
| 3299s | go now |
| 3302s | that's I don't know if I really want to |
| 3304s | do that cuz I've only just got the storm |
| 3306s | chest so I'm probably just going to get |
| 3307s | rid of that one uh let's get rid of that |
| 3311s | we'll keep |
| 3312s | that I'm going to get rid of it ah don't |
| 3315s | know if I've done that right |
| 3319s | um okay let's just check that's an Eco |
| 3323s | booster and this is Yun |
| 3327s | [Music] |
| 3332s | um I can't decide whether I should swap |
| 3334s | that one out there's slightly longer |
| 3336s | recharge |
| 3337s | delay uh and energy consumption is |
| 3340s | higher as |
| 3341s | well |
| 3343s | capaity higher accelerations higher yeah |
| 3348s | I see what we'll do we'll actually swap |
| 3350s | it and see how we fair if if I don't |
| 3352s | feel it's good I shall get rid rid of |
| 3355s | that that can go as well keep cell |
| 3359s | placing can go sensor can go cargo unit |
| 3363s | no guess I've got the autonomous set |
| 3365s | there and Rockets maybe because they |
| 3368s | we're going to be a level |
| 3371s | 18 there we go there we |
| 3379s | go uh let just hands up folks who we're |
| 3382s | old enough to recall some of the classic |
| 3383s | bugs I recall a bunch of glitches on the |
| 3385s | Nintendo Entertainment assist on the |
| 3387s | original NES uh yeah I I remember going |
| 3391s | even further back cuz I'm a little bit |
| 3393s | older than Lee and um yeah uh I was back |
| 3397s | into the days of uh tape combo 64 for |
| 3400s | the win uh that was quite painful |
| 3403s | actually if there was ever a problem |
| 3404s | with that that it wasn't in the days of |
| 3406s | the internet so you couldn't fix |
| 3407s | anything uh right let's get out of here |
| 3411s | even though is a wonderful looking |
| 3412s | Planet there we go whoos |
| 3421s | right so we' cracked on with that |
| 3424s | obviously that has kind of disappeared |
| 3426s | uh the earlier time we've done the first |
| 3428s | thing they said that they'll be in touch |
| 3429s | in the future again so we'll see how |
| 3431s | that pans out or on there so let's go |
| 3434s | back and do the convert I am keeping an |
| 3436s | eye on the time another five minutes or |
| 3438s | so so if you've got any more questions |
| 3439s | to dive in with please do throw them out |
| 3441s | away uh probably in about five 5 minutes |
| 3443s | or so we're going to be switching over |
| 3445s | to the interview that we did with |
| 3447s | uh because it's it's a good decent uh |
| 3449s | interview which I think people will |
| 3452s | enjoy um set the way point let's do a h |
| 3455s | CH rare shall we let's do a hit CH rare |
| 3457s | see if we can |
| 3461s | survive dcv I 64 well done that man you |

| 3479s | chance to explore athor system in the |
| 3481s | future DLCs we did have this mentioned a |
| 3483s | little bit earlier um um at the moment |

| 3489s | story line um I don't know if it's going |

| 3867s | gameplay programmer here at Rockfish |
| 3869s | games uh thanks for joining us tolin |
| 3871s | it's great to have you with us um I need |
| 3874s | to kick off with the obvious the the |
| 3876s | question that everybody uh will have on |
| 3878s | their lips is what is a senior gameplay |
| 3881s | program and what does that job |
| 3885s | Ena well hello Gary hello |
| 3888s | Community uh thanks for having |
| 3891s | me um yeah the job of a gameplay |
| 3894s | programmer um |
| 3897s | contains of course depending on the |
| 3899s | company probably but in our case of |
| 3901s | Rockfish um it's quite a big variety of |
| 3905s | things you have to do or you can do um |
| 3909s | because we're a small team um everybody |
| 3912s | got a lot of hats and um there are |
| 3915s | things like you know how the ship moves |
| 3917s | how it shoots um how you come move from |
| 3920s | A to B like transitions |
| 3923s | like how destru is done the missions is |
| 3927s | a big part of it uh saving uh stuff um |
| 3932s | yeah there's like too much too much too |
| 3934s | many things to uh to |
| 3937s | count and um my part was like at the |
| 3941s | beginning when I started I took like |
| 3943s | small things um like the famous the very |
| 3947s | famous shadow creature as a as a very |
| 3950s | small small example um and I tried to to |
| 3954s | squeeze my my way here like find some |
| 3956s | small activities that can be done around |
| 3958s | in the game um The Invisible container |
| 3961s | for example was one very very early |
| 3963s | thing I |
| 3964s | did and that lead to to bigger events |
| 3968s | like the the racing The Wanted |
| 3971s | system |
| 3972s | um but at some point um we had like a |
| 3976s | personal shift in the team and then I |
| 3979s | like move I got moved I moved myself and |
| 3982s | I mean it was totally voluntarily |
| 3984s | honestly no irony yeah um to to the |
| 3987s | narrative side of things I mean I'm |
| 3990s | still programming a lot um but today I |
| 3993s | would see myself more of the mission |
| 3995s | designer but with you know I'm still |
| 3998s | implementing all the stuff like in the |
| 4000s | past we had uh guys that uh were yeah |
| 4004s | designing the missions and designing the |
| 4006s | story behind the mission writing the |
| 4009s | dialogue and all that stuff but somebody |
| 4011s | had to implement them um that was like a |
| 4014s | mixture of Us Gameplay programmers who |
| 4017s | supported our mission designers and |
| 4020s | today it's like pretty much you know we |
| 4023s | have like I don't know two three four |
| 4024s | people now that do both um with like you |
| 4029s | know leaning more a little bit on their |
| 4031s | dialogue writing end and more a little |
| 4032s | bit on the implementing end u i mean |
| 4035s | there was one point in in time where I |
| 4037s | even wrote dialogues um because I had |
| 4039s | like fun with it and cool um yeah like |
| 4045s | like filling a gap |
| 4049s | and yeah and today I'm still doing that |
| 4053s | mostly but of course uh as yeah things |
| 4057s | moved on um with you know the the last U |
| 4060s | the last uh DLC we had with Titans like |
| 4064s | I did a big Chun adic part of the the |
| 4068s | dreadout and I was not alone of course |
| 4071s | and uh like another let's call it small |
| 4073s | team uh did the many most of the in |
| 4076s | thethan but it's yeah I guess due to our |
| 4081s | team size lot of the things you know |
| 4083s | like we we um yeah we we we trade on |
| 4087s | pinions um you know we we uh talk to |
| 4091s | each other we test the we test the |
| 4093s | missions of the others we we um feedback |
| 4096s | each other so it's yeah um it's a big |
| 4099s | interchanging Pro process here with a |
| 4101s | lot of |
| 4102s | iterations um a lot of you know see |
| 4106s | what's what MH cool cool I mean it seems |
| 4109s | like a lot of people because of the size |
| 4110s | of the team we do have to wear many hats |
| 4113s | um even on the community side whether |
| 4115s | you're you know interacting with the |
| 4118s | players on a day-to-day basis doing the |
| 4119s | streams doing the support that kind of |
| 4121s | work so obviously you guys uh in Hamburg |
| 4124s | who I think are their absolute wizards |
| 4127s | of what you can create uh in in the game |
| 4129s | environment um we all do uh so many |
| 4132s | different aspects of um of the job that |
| 4135s | it's there so we we we can now pin down |
| 4138s | who um who is responsible for the |
| 4140s | frustrating shadow creature missions |
| 4142s | there and that well yeah I mean but but |
| 4146s | here you know um that's I mean let's |
| 4148s | take this very small example um for um |
| 4152s | things like like okay I implemented the |
| 4155s | mechanic you know um and but there was |
| 4157s | like a design before that even you know |
| 4159s | somebody had the idea then somebody |
| 4161s | implemented of course we we talked about |
| 4164s | this and we iterated it and then another |
| 4166s | person like you know builds the puzzle |
| 4169s | in the levels like you know that's so |
| 4172s | even that this very very small feature |
| 4174s | of all the features we have is like done |
| 4176s | with you know several people already |
| 4178s | yeah um and of course what I did forget |
| 4181s | to mention is the game design aspect of |
| 4183s | things you know like again we have like |
| 4187s | if you look at our uh our portraits at |
| 4189s | our Rockfish teams games there like not |
| 4192s | really like you know we have of course |
| 4194s | people who have like the drop |
| 4195s | description |
| 4196s | and game designer or lead game design I |
| 4199s | think it's maybe it's I don't know I'm |
| 4200s | not sure yet but we have like not the |
| 4203s | whole department called game design and |
| 4206s | five people working there also so it's |
| 4208s | all of us so you know pretty much |
| 4210s | everybody in the team and and you know |
| 4212s | it I mean you know we got your feedback |
| 4215s | we asked you of your opinion and um you |
| 4218s | not the first one so um that's that's of |
| 4220s | course a big process uh in in the whole |
| 4222s | thing yeah absolutely absolutely yeah |
| 4225s | and uh just to to EO that that I think |
| 4227s | that's one good thing about the team is |
| 4228s | that everybody kind of has a voice uh |
| 4230s | whether it's feedback from the players |
| 4232s | you know which I uh throw over to you |
| 4234s | guys quite regularly or if it's my own |
| 4236s | personal opinion on things and people |
| 4238s | will listen and you know if if there's |
| 4240s | value in the in those discussions or |
| 4243s | changes then you know we're quite amable |
| 4245s | to to those things happening um |
| 4248s | obviously we we've touched on all the |
| 4249s | bit the aspects of your role uh and is a |
| 4252s | m very multifaceted um would you mind |
| 4255s | sharing a littleit about your background |
| 4256s | and how you actually became uh a |
| 4259s | gameplay |
| 4260s | programmer yeah sure um I I come like |
| 4265s | from Province small small town but at |
| 4269s | the very southwestern border of Germany |
| 4272s | and I'm only saying this because like I |
| 4274s | grew up in a in a in a in a a field in a |
| 4277s | family which like viewed at you know |
| 4280s | gaming at this whole thing like as yeah |
| 4283s | that's not a real thing you know you |
| 4285s | shouldn't get a job in in that field |
| 4287s | it's like you know get something serious |
| 4289s | do something for real |
| 4291s | whatever and I mean I I had this kind of |
| 4295s | mindset then as well I adapted this it |
| 4297s | of course I I started like I started |
| 4299s | very on only with gaming like that's why |
| 4303s | I this this idea even came up as a |
| 4305s | little child like my grandfather was |
| 4307s | responsible for this he like brought |
| 4309s | very early like you know um discs and |
| 4312s | and whatnot to our very old desktop |
| 4316s | computers he brought into into the |
| 4317s | family okay yeah but it was always like |
| 4320s | you know fun for the kids and nothing |
| 4322s | nothing more so when I Grew Older and I |
| 4325s | had like a bunch of ideas what I might |
| 4328s | became I mean I think a lot of people |
| 4330s | don't know it you know after after |
| 4332s | school they're like okay I don't know |
| 4333s | maybe maybe that maybe that and change |
| 4335s | it later and I always had this idea to |
| 4339s | maybe you know this this could still |
| 4341s | could be a cool thing and I made like a |
| 4344s | like a com with myself to say okay let's |
| 4348s | go for programming because you know this |
| 4350s | will won't ever bore me like computers |
| 4352s | won't ever bore me and this is very you |
| 4355s | know pragmatic to say like yeah this |
| 4358s | earns money like you know they the |
| 4360s | Internet won't die tomorrow uh computers |
| 4363s | won't won't die tomorrow it's not a |
| 4365s | bubble obviously like we that couple of |
| 4368s | decades ago so but you know if it still |
| 4372s | works it might be some kind of back door |
| 4375s | you know um because game Gamers games |
| 4378s | need programmers so that was kind of my |
| 4380s | idea which I had in the back so I |
| 4382s | started it and um in the middle of the |
| 4387s | of of my studies there was like an an |
| 4389s | mandatory internship you had to take in |
| 4391s | in the company of your choosing you know |
| 4393s | and then I said well why not use this |
| 4396s | time of 6 months um and look for an |
| 4399s | internship in a gaming company because |
| 4401s | you know nothing to lose here no |
| 4402s | definitely not um and in in Germany is |
| 4406s | like the industry is I mean it's of it's |
| 4409s | kind of not small but it's very small if |
| 4411s | um I was not too interested in doing |
| 4413s | mobile games so um I look for titles |
| 4416s | first of all I look for titles I know |
| 4418s | mhm and when you have titles you do know |
| 4422s | and they have to be in Germany then was |
| 4424s | like hard to to to find something and |
| 4427s | Hamburg is one of the not too many |
| 4430s | cities in Germany that's have like more |
| 4433s | than one Studio at all yeah that's like |
| 4436s | you know you can five six seven towns or |
| 4439s | cities in in in Germany that host more |
| 4441s | than one Dev developer like big |
| 4443s | developers like developers you would |
| 4445s | know MH and uh there was another problem |
| 4448s | I mean um I don't know how it is today |
| 4451s | but uh back then it was like um it was |
| 4454s | really hard to get into into the |
| 4456s | industry like um the the internship |
| 4458s | requirements were like you know um three |
| 4461s | three years background of working um at |
| 4463s | least one finished project and you were |
| 4465s | like |
| 4466s | I thought this is like an |
| 4467s | internship |
| 4469s | um but I got lucky and the company I |
| 4473s | worked for hired like the the bar was |
| 4476s | not that High um for this company |
| 4478s | especially and they did uh cool games so |
| 4481s | it was a perfect match and then I took |
| 4483s | the uh the opportunity moved 1,000 km uh |
| 4488s | to the |
| 4489s | north um and and kind of stayed I mean |
| 4493s | after the internship I finished my |
| 4495s | graduation |
| 4496s | um my brother convinced me to to like |
| 4500s | try it in in regular field first but |
| 4503s | after six six months trying um I decided |
| 4506s | to no no I realized you know this six |
| 4509s | months showed me okay this is it I I I |
| 4512s | like it here that's that's my that's my |
| 4514s | jam um I want to stay yeah so uh yeah |
| 4518s | and I mean this yeah and thanks to the |
| 4523s | to this internship um it was easy to get |
| 4526s | back to it I could like call completely |
| 4529s | you know simple via Skype I didn't have |
| 4532s | to like um do the whole process again of |
| 4536s | yeah yeah riding my CV and stuff um I |
| 4538s | just could call people I knew then and |
| 4541s | then I was like yeah you know um I'm |
| 4544s | working here and I'm doing fine but do |
| 4546s | you have like you know uh an open an |
| 4550s | open uh job for me and yeah and again I |
| 4554s | got kind of L because another uh |
| 4557s | programmer at the time another lead |
| 4558s | programmer even um was about to leave |
| 4562s | and they looked for somebody and then |
| 4563s | was like yeah well I mean um I said like |
| 4566s | no I can't do lead because you know |
| 4568s | that's why my first job here uh but then |
| 4572s | they had me convinced they were like um |
| 4574s | you |
| 4575s | know uh we trust you that was one thing |
| 4578s | and then um they they said like okay you |
| 4581s | know it's our responsibility we uh have |
| 4583s | a lookout for you we see how it goes um |
| 4585s | but you know if you're ready to to come |
| 4588s | up come to us then let's try it um and |
| 4592s | then I did and and I worked there for |
| 4594s | four years um a little more than four |
| 4596s | years yeah yeah actually and but a whole |
| 4599s | other J um that's was point and click |
| 4602s | adventure The Pillars of the Earth um |
| 4604s | maybe some people know the book the game |
| 4606s | isn't too got too got hasn't got too |
| 4609s | popular mhm um out there and back there |
| 4613s | there was like this is um the company |
| 4615s | used a an engine it was not created by |
| 4618s | them but um it is not used on a white |
| 4623s | you know in a in a wide field uh and it |
| 4626s | is only used for it's like a one purpose |
| 4629s | engine it's only for pointing tick |
| 4630s | Adventures so I was like a lot of L |
| 4632s | coding back then with a little bit of |
| 4635s | python and when the project was finished |
| 4637s | it was like an in between time where the |
| 4640s | company um looked okay where we can put |
| 4642s | our you know human resources and this |
| 4645s | project is about to start here is a |
| 4646s | pitch me there's another pitch but |
| 4649s | pretty much everything was UN Unreal |
| 4650s | Engine so yeah yeah um I mean a lot of |
| 4654s | these project didn't see daylight but um |
| 4658s | it was of course it then it was like an |
| 4660s | advantage for me to have like this one |
| 4662s | almost one year experience working with |
| 4665s | unreal and um that helped me getting to |
| 4669s | Rockfish then |
| 4670s | eventually um because I um moved with |
| 4674s | another colleague |
| 4675s | um to Rockfish at that time um and he |
| 4679s | like he was he was first and showed me |
| 4682s | where he where he is about to go and I |
| 4685s | just looked at the jobs and saw hey |
| 4687s | they're looking for someone like me mhm |
| 4689s | um let's try that oh and yeah here here |
| 4692s | I am five years later no six years later |
| 4695s | now six years wow well congratulations |
| 4698s | uh I mean obviously you've already |
| 4699s | touched on kind of what you did in your |
| 4701s | kind of early career um you we're |
| 4705s | talking about Pillars of the Earth uh |
| 4708s | and other games but is there anything |
| 4710s | outside of those that you worked |
| 4712s | on yeah there was like uh another |
| 4716s | project I think it's kind of official |
| 4718s | now um the devil's man back then it was |
| 4720s | another Point click adventure but that |
| 4722s | that never saw daylight and this was a |
| 4725s | really really tough one it has a lot of |
| 4727s | ups and downs it was like you know |
| 4729s | announced it started then um the market |
| 4733s | happened the budget happened |
| 4736s | then a lot of people had to leave I was |
| 4738s | lucky I was the lucky one who didn't um |
| 4741s | then like other projects came around for |
| 4744s | me it was The Pillars of the Earth and |
| 4746s | then at some point the idea was to |
| 4748s | revive the project again and it even had |
| 4751s | like a small community it even had an |
| 4752s | art book oh and like and like merge it |
| 4755s | was like you know there this was about |
| 4757s | to happen and everybody thought this is |
| 4759s | about to happen and then when it started |
| 4761s | the second time then it was like you |
| 4764s | know uh same same again you know Market |
| 4767s | happened budget happened um things |
| 4769s | happened and then it was like okay now |
| 4771s | this is um not going to happen probably |
| 4774s | uh anymore or at least I don't know um |
| 4777s | if or when yeah yeah yeah but yeah |
| 4779s | that's that's obviously a frustrating |
| 4781s | experience um I mean these days I guess |
| 4784s | a lot of developers in the industry are |
| 4787s | experien similar things yes yeah yeah |
| 4790s | definitely um I think we've seen over |
| 4793s | the last couple of years how kind of |
| 4794s | vola the industry is and uh in a way I |
| 4797s | think we're we're very lucky how kind of |
| 4799s | stable we are here at at Rockfish um |
| 4802s | exactly yeah um I think it's um |
| 4805s | Testament to the team overall how |
| 4807s | they're you know diligently uh |
| 4810s | navigating the the video game industry |
| 4814s | um looking at what you've kind of done |
| 4817s | in your role here um uh at Rockfish |
| 4820s | obviously everything kind of um every |
| 4823s | role has a challenge or it has you know |
| 4825s | uh rewarding Parts what would you say |
| 4827s | has been uh for you anyway the most |
| 4830s | challenging uh thing that you've had to |
| 4831s | deal with and conversely uh what element |
| 4834s | has been the most |
| 4836s | rewarding yeah I mean um in general |
| 4840s | that's guess a general answer that |
| 4842s | doesn't doesn't um is has nothing to do |
| 4846s | with the job I think um and that would |
| 4849s | be to say to make everybody happy um I |
| 4854s | mean that's that's like so General I I |
| 4855s | get it |
| 4857s | but when I when I hear that question it |
| 4860s | it's really my like my first answer |
| 4862s | because in my day-to-day job it's um I |
| 4864s | have on some Dames it's very complex |
| 4867s | stuff some day it's easy um you know |
| 4869s | work it work it through |
| 4872s | um and like in most cases especially in |
| 4876s | the complex cases it's like I I sit in |
| 4878s | front of it and I try to come up with an |
| 4881s | idea is it I don't know if if it's game |
| 4883s | design related is it probably related or |
| 4885s | if it's whatever related and to to uh |
| 4890s | come up with the idea to pitch it to |
| 4891s | others to discuss it with others and of |
| 4895s | course a lot of people in our team have |
| 4897s | a lot of strong opinions and valuable |
| 4900s | opinions of course and I would never say |
| 4902s | like I have you know the the best ideas |
| 4906s | um but yeah pitching your ideas in and |
| 4909s | we're not talking big ones it's not |
| 4911s | always big system it's it's small |
| 4913s | features every day everyday stuff um |
| 4916s | pitching them to others and then get |
| 4919s | feedback back and now no maybe you |
| 4920s | should try this and whatnot and I don't |
| 4922s | know and then at some point you know you |
| 4924s | get the results um you're hoping for mhm |
| 4928s | so this this kind of struggle especially |
| 4930s | in the in now in the narrative |
| 4933s | Department um there there is like |
| 4936s | everything coming together similar to |
| 4938s | the level design you know there as the |
| 4941s | there there's the author there's the |
| 4942s | creative director there's there's me |
| 4944s | there's another uh you know Mission |
| 4947s | designer so a lot of different |
| 4949s | departments and a lot of different |
| 4951s | perspectives on one issue and to to find |
| 4955s | a way like you know here's the the |
| 4957s | vision Here's the the story and here's |
| 4960s | the implementation of things and to to |
| 4962s | get this in into one so that's like the |
| 4966s | the biggest struggle every any time from |
| 4969s | Big to small yeah um and in like more of |
| 4973s | a direct thinking to my job description |
| 4976s | it's um it's it's similar like having |
| 4980s | the the problem in front of me and then |
| 4982s | thinking about something that lasts long |
| 4985s | that you know creates as as less bucks |
| 4988s | as possible as few bucks as possible |
| 4990s | that's a big big thing and of course |
| 4992s | that's flexible like game development |
| 4996s | one one thing about it is and I I can |
| 5000s | only assume because I only worked so |
| 5003s | short in another field but |
| 5005s | uh it's it's very volatile like you you |
| 5009s | have an idea you implement it of course |
| 5012s | maybe you discuss it with other before |
| 5014s | but at some point it uh goes out to the |
| 5017s | world and the world means our team first |
| 5019s | and then you get a lot of ideas and then |
| 5023s | realize or whatever happens okay this is |
| 5026s | bad I have to rethink everything that's |
| 5028s | like the worst case and another like |
| 5031s | default case would be okay this is not |
| 5034s | bad yet but it needs a and c and then |
| 5038s | you have to have like a system that is |
| 5040s | able to provide a and C or you have to |
| 5042s | you know start from scratch again so um |
| 5046s | and of course everything has to be done |
| 5048s | fast it might I mean I can say it's not |
| 5051s | like you know Michael is not breathing |
| 5054s | our neck like yeah have to get this done |
| 5056s | or anything yeah um but we have |
| 5058s | deadlines of course you know there's |
| 5059s | releases and and um we have our own |
| 5062s | goals and say like okay this has to be |
| 5064s | done until then |
| 5065s | so I cannot like yeah sit around and and |
| 5068s | think all day about the best solution so |
| 5071s | I have to you know go for the best that |
| 5073s | comes up not first but you know yeah |
| 5076s | second or third absolutely yeah I'd like |
| 5079s | to delve a little bit just a little bit |
| 5081s | personally in terms of your gaming uh |
| 5084s | because you obviously mentioned earlier |
| 5085s | that you you've been a gamer since you |
| 5087s | were you were young uh I think as we all |
| 5089s | have um so what games do you currently |
| 5092s | play now and what games have you played |
| 5095s | in the past and how do you think you've |
| 5097s | kind of changed in your playing style |
| 5099s | over that |
| 5101s | time yeah I mean feels like this could |
| 5104s | be you know go on for hours and not not |
| 5106s | really really not to |
| 5108s | brag um when yeah when you start early |
| 5110s | but but yeah I think everybody who who |
| 5112s | listens or you um we we all know how |
| 5115s | this goes and we all have this pile on |
| 5118s | on I mean mostly steam but on any |
| 5120s | platform I don't know um so yeah today I |
| 5124s | what what I changed um and it's kind of |
| 5127s | maybe you know a part of I don't know a |
| 5130s | getting old or B um try to live a more |
| 5133s | healthy lifestyle something about that I |
| 5135s | don't know um so I changed from a lot of |
| 5138s | competitive stuff um to more like single |
| 5142s | player laidback stuff I mean I still uh |
| 5146s | try a love a good challenge with Elden |
| 5148s | ring um but um that's kind of the |
| 5152s | exception because you know back in the |
| 5154s | day I um like Le of Legend was maybe the |
| 5158s | the longest of them all but Counter |
| 5159s | Strike was also the Call of Duty I even |
| 5162s | tried fortnite you know just for the |
| 5164s | gist of it and see what what's what's |
| 5166s | that about yeah yeah |
| 5168s | um and uh I don't know Starcraft 2 or |
| 5172s | pretty much every Blizzard game I mean |
| 5175s | you know they they made great games so |
| 5179s | um but yeah of course also um any |
| 5181s | Nintendo stuff and and all so yeah and I |
| 5185s | mean the last game I I played as cross |
| 5186s | code which is like a small Indie uh |
| 5189s | title I had like I don't know for how |
| 5191s | many years now on my PC and and as |
| 5195s | sometimes maybe we maybe you know the |
| 5197s | feeling that you the urge to have okay I |
| 5200s | have this big pile it needs to get |
| 5202s | smaller and then you pick like one game |
| 5204s | out and I honestly thought this would |
| 5206s | take a few hours because I just knew |
| 5208s | about the game that this was like a |
| 5209s | small Indie title and then it turns out |
| 5211s | to a full-fledged 60 hours plus jrpg |
| 5216s | so um yeah that's that um and before |
| 5220s | that I I played like animal well um um |
| 5224s | or yeah well I played h 2 but I don't |
| 5228s | see that as an as an you know |
| 5229s | competitive game that's still like but |
| 5232s | also I I like the Zelda not not the the |
| 5235s | the latest installment I want to play |
| 5238s | that that I think this might be the next |
| 5240s | title I'm going to but I'm talking tear |
| 5242s | of kingdom and of course before that |
| 5243s | breath of the wild and stuff |
| 5245s | yeah I know definitely talking to some |
| 5247s | of the team members I think it was |
| 5249s | during our um recent Rockfish uh day um |
| 5253s | the |
| 5254s | offices Zelda games and Nintendo games |
| 5257s | do come up quite a lot and I think he |
| 5259s | saw lot of his down to the game design |
| 5261s | um as well although I've never been a |
| 5263s | I've never played a Zelda game I have to |
| 5265s | admit you know but yeah I mean I mean |
| 5268s | the the at least for me I mean of course |
| 5270s | it's always like a personal opinion but |
| 5273s | um uh when you when you when you game as |
| 5276s | a child like you know every world you |
| 5277s | encounter every level every feature is |
| 5279s | new every game you put in your hands is |
| 5281s | like totally exciting and it with over |
| 5284s | time you have seen stuff and you just |
| 5286s | you know yeah I have seen this kind of |
| 5288s | game you know um |
| 5291s | um and the the last installment like |
| 5294s | breath of the wild the like you know the |
| 5296s | open world set up all of a sudden I was |
| 5299s | I was very skeptical about that because |
| 5301s | I you know okay I don't know is this |
| 5304s | Nintendo able to to to do this pull this |
| 5307s | off and they did and it's uh quite |
| 5309s | honestly for me like a 10 of 10 game you |
| 5311s | know um this was like the first time in |
| 5313s | I don't know what 10 years or so uh |
| 5315s | which got me excited like you know have |
| 5318s | to have this feeling again that that you |
| 5320s | that you have as a kid so H yeah that |
| 5323s | that's like a big inspiration and a big |
| 5325s | you know um I'm glad they did what they |
| 5328s | did um when they decided to to be like |
| 5331s | Brave and and try something else and and |
| 5335s | and not not not copy another you know |
| 5338s | open world out game that is already |
| 5340s | existing out there so yeah cool was |
| 5343s | refreshing yeah yeah I mean that's |
| 5344s | that's High Praise I mean a lot of |
| 5346s | people do speak highly of that and uh |
| 5348s | you know giving their 10 out of 10 uh |
| 5350s | you can tell they've done some uh some |
| 5352s | good work on that now final question I |
| 5354s | promise uh but I know this one is a is a |
| 5357s | difficult one to answer because there's |
| 5358s | an absolute plethora of of games out |
| 5360s | there that we've even just touched on |
| 5361s | ourselves um if you had to pick one game |
| 5365s | and know this is difficult you might |
| 5366s | have two um which game would you like to |
| 5370s | have worked on and is there any |
| 5371s | particular reason |
| 5373s | why yeah um I probably would pick uh |
| 5378s | World of Warcraft okay um that's maybe |
| 5382s | that's mostly |
| 5383s | Nostalgia um I mean I I stopped playing |
| 5386s | years ago and I mean I I I play I like I |
| 5390s | you know sucked every news I could get |
| 5392s | about this game when it was about to |
| 5394s | release you know I I I don't know joined |
| 5397s | several communities fan sites and and |
| 5400s | whatnot to to get any anything and and |
| 5403s | then when it like you know pre-release I |
| 5405s | don't know two weeks pre beta or pre |
| 5407s | whatever they they called it back then |
| 5409s | before the actual release um I started |
| 5412s | like playing every day and and then when |
| 5415s | it released I started like the same |
| 5417s | class and everything from new because I |
| 5419s | had so much fun I was like sure coming |
| 5421s | from I don't know Balo gate and other |
| 5423s | RPGs I knew back then I I know myself |
| 5426s | and when I play one class for about a |
| 5429s | period of time then I get like bored and |
| 5431s | try something else and this was just so |
| 5434s | good I had to like okay this makes so |
| 5436s | much fun I you know I do all all the |
| 5439s | stuff again yeah and it this was like |
| 5442s | you know this this this world they they |
| 5444s | created this was this a Fascination |
| 5447s | never uh yeah never never reached again |
| 5450s | let's say that I |
| 5452s | mean a lot of a lot of developers try it |
| 5455s | um yeah and this this kind of magic so |
| 5459s | when I had the chance back then I mean |
| 5461s | today I you know honestly would not to |
| 5464s | be too interested but back then this |
| 5466s | would be probably an awesome experience |
| 5469s | to to see how this all comes together |
| 5471s | all these different aspects and of |
| 5473s | course the servers and then the |
| 5475s | multiplayer aspect of it that's what |
| 5476s | like I imagine this very exciting mhm |
| 5480s | cool cool cool I mean obviously it seems |
| 5482s | like you're you've been a big Nintendo |
| 5484s | fan |
| 5485s | uh would that be something kind of you'd |
| 5488s | like to to look at how they kind of um |
| 5491s | work for example as a company Studio |
| 5495s | yeah AB absolutely that's um I mean if |
| 5498s | yeah if if I had to pick another one |
| 5500s | that would probably be uh maybe any |
| 5503s | Nintendo title um I mean of course bre |
| 5506s | the wild would be exciting but again |
| 5508s | like with but of Warcraft what was it |
| 5510s | back in the day like how did they work |
| 5512s | then but |
| 5514s | yeah and how do they work today I mean |
| 5516s | there's only so many documentaries out |
| 5518s | there um and behind the scenes stuff um |
| 5521s | and of and at the end a documentary or |
| 5523s | whatever is still something different to |
| 5526s | work actually there and live there dayto |
| 5528s | day so um this is kind of still for me |
| 5531s | like not not directly a blackbox but in |
| 5533s | in a kind of way um how how the |
| 5535s | processes are how the hierarchies work |
| 5538s | how which which or who who does what who |
| 5541s | decides what um that that just would be |
| 5544s | out curiosity MH cool cool yeah I mean I |
| 5547s | think um even though I've worked in many |
| 5549s | different Industries um every company is |
| 5552s | different so I can imagine even in the |
| 5554s | the game development world that would be |
| 5556s | uh very similar uh thing that would |
| 5558s | happen um just before we we we end is |
| 5562s | there anything you'd like to say to our |
| 5563s | players the community the viewers of |
| 5565s | this um from from your point of |
| 5569s | view yeah uh thanks for foremost that's |
| 5573s | like uh the biggest thing because uh all |
| 5576s | all uh all I said I mean it's maybe it's |
| 5580s | it's comes between the lines that I'm |
| 5583s | very grateful to to be uh here in at |
| 5585s | Rockfish and in this in the industry and |
| 5587s | it's wouldn't be possible without our |
| 5590s | community so that's the greatest thing |
| 5594s | and another is um you know seeing not |
| 5597s | not the world as a as a big thing but |
| 5599s | the the gaming industry and the |
| 5601s | communities out there from other games |
| 5603s | other Developers mhm um I think we can |
| 5605s | call ourselves quite lucky you know um |
| 5608s | have like a lot of very nice people |
| 5611s | engaged people um so yeah that's that's |
| 5615s | the |
| 5617s | fuel um we love to to keep on working so |
| 5621s | absolutely yeah yeah we we do and we we |
| 5623s | do this mention this we we have a |
| 5624s | passion for this and uh you know without |
| 5627s | you boys and girls out there uh buying |
| 5628s | our games and and interacting with us we |
| 5630s | wouldn't be able to do it and it's uh |
| 5632s | sounds very cliche but it is it's very |
| 5634s | very true we we do love what we do uh |
| 5637s | we'll keep on doing that as long as you |
| 5638s | love what we produce uh so anyway thank |
| 5641s | you to uh for joining us for this |
| 5643s | interview uh myself and obviously |
| 5645s | everybody's watching uh I really |
| 5646s | appreciate you taking time out of your |
| 5648s | day and your busy schedule because you |
| 5650s | so multifaceted and having to do so many |
| 5652s | things uh just to have a little chat |
| 5654s | with us and uh let us peek me out the |
| 5656s | curtain of game development uh as we |
| 5658s | have with um some of the other |
| 5660s | developers um we're going to do more of |
| 5662s | these in the future um we've got some |
| 5664s | more lined up uh yes they not not |
| 5666s | everybody in the team has run away and |
| 5667s | said no not doing that we've got some |
| 5669s | more lined up and uh hopefully we have |
| 5671s | some of those in the near future but uh |
| 5673s | with that I'll say thank you to tolbin |
| 5675s | and uh I'll hand you back over to myself |
| 5677s | and we'll see you soon thank you |
| 5682s | bye there we go how cool was that |
| 5686s | wonderful chat with Tobin and uh I hope |
| 5689s | you all enjoyed that as much as I did |
| 5690s | when we recorded it I did see some |
| 5693s | questions at um went through the chat um |
| 5696s | I didn't want to kind of interject and |
| 5698s | and voice over on top of the uh the |
| 5700s | interview but um uh I know one of the |
| 5703s | questions was about having the the devs |
| 5705s | come on onto the live stream on an |
| 5707s | evening um there's a couple of |
| 5709s | logistical problems with that um purely |
| 5712s | because it eats into their free time |
| 5715s | specifically um and you know we kind of |
| 5717s | do a snapshot during their day um where |
| 5721s | we can fit some time in and literally we |
| 5723s | like okay you've got free time yeah |
| 5724s | let's let's do it so sometimes it's uh |
| 5727s | it's a little difficult and we we |
| 5729s | definitely don't want to impinge on |
| 5730s | their free time so when they knockof |
| 5733s | clock off on on a Friday evening um |
| 5736s | after their day at work then you know uh |
| 5739s | it's nice that uh they just have that |
| 5741s | free time so whether we get them on live |
| 5744s | would be very very difficult and um so |
| 5747s | doing the pre-record also does help us |
| 5749s | do sometimes editing that video that |
| 5752s | that I recorded with toin it was a |
| 5754s | lovely conversation was actually a |
| 5755s | little bit longer uh but we just had to |
| 5757s | trim uh some bits here and there and it |
| 5759s | does allow us as well if anything kind |
| 5761s | of slips out that maybe shouldn't slip |
| 5763s | out because people aren't used to being |
| 5765s | on camera for example uh then we do have |
| 5768s | that second chance to go whoops we need |
| 5769s | to cut that out so uh yeah uh very very |
| 5772s | difficult um asking about the questions |
| 5774s | and stuff yeah we we'll be open to that |
| 5776s | I think that's probably a good idea I'm |
| 5778s | sure myself and Lee will discuss this in |
| 5780s | the future about how we can kind of |
| 5781s | incorporate specific questions to the |
| 5783s | the develop us um and how it is um so |
| 5787s | yeah we'll definitely look at that in |
| 5789s | the near future and uh yeah maybe we can |
| 5791s | uh get some very specific questions um |
| 5794s | obviously we'd have to kind of moderate |
| 5796s | them and see whether they can be apt to |
| 5799s | uh to talk about things H Flor is asking |
| 5803s | over on Twitch what did slip out want to |
| 5805s | see the |
| 5806s | outtakes they are on The Cutting Room |
| 5808s | floor and that's where they're |
| 5810s | staying now to be fair a lot of the time |
| 5813s | it doesn't the devs are very very aware |
| 5815s | of what they can say and what they can't |
| 5816s | say but just in case of any kind of oops |
| 5820s | um you know we don't want to do it now |
| 5822s | if we do get Michael on who has |
| 5824s | volunteered to to come on for for an |
| 5826s | interview regarding being the CEO of the |
| 5827s | company um we may be able to do that one |
| 5830s | live because sometimes he is here on on |
| 5832s | an evening we'd have to find out on that |
| 5834s | one because that would be very very |
| 5835s | interesting and cool to to dive into but |
| 5837s | again we've just got to be mindful of |
| 5839s | their their free time so uh yeah I'm |
| 5842s | glad you enjoyed it as I said I |
| 5844s | thoroughly enjoyed it so uh on the floor |
| 5847s | in Hamburg no it's definitely I I did |
| 5849s | the editing on that video so yeah it's |
| 5851s | definitely on my my Cutting Room floor |
| 5853s | but glad you enjoyed it anyway so here |
| 5856s | we |
| 5857s | are it's the time to put it to the test |
| 5861s | uh some of you boys and girls did know a |
| 5863s | little while ago that I was trying to |
| 5865s | get through this Monumental task of U |
| 5869s | flying a bomber through scrapyard race |
| 5872s | with no inertia dampeners |
| 5875s | and the last time I got so close so |
| 5878s | close uh but failed miserably and um |
| 5882s | I've been practicing I I've had a few |
| 5884s | practice sessions uh this week just to |
| 5887s | try and do it and ironically the first |
| 5890s | time uh I tried I did it it just went |
| 5893s | Boop and I did it first time after that |
| 5896s | not so not so good uh but then tried |
| 5898s | again and I did it about three times |
| 5899s | today within the time limit um although |
| 5903s | a couple of runs were disrupted by Elite |
| 5905s | gmbs um uh who thought it was funny just |
| 5908s | to jump in and start hting me when I'm |
| 5909s | trying to navigate the car so they kind |
| 5911s | of P me off I'm not making excuses |
| 5913s | because if they do jump in |
| 5915s | then um oh first person oh yeah I forgot |
| 5918s | about first person that might be a |
| 5919s | struggle was it first person are you |
| 5921s | sure it was first person I don't |
| 5923s | remember it being first |
| 5926s | person I remember oh if it was first |

| 5932s | person so this could be um this could be |
| 5936s | painful anyway right let me get the we |
| 5939s | are loaded up here anyway and uh we |
| 5942s | shall see so um did did I really do |

| 6184s | [Applause] |
| 6191s | applause about blooming |
| 6194s | [Laughter] |
| 6198s | time ah damn it I just needed to |
| 6201s | practice but first person yeah I done it |
| 6204s | in third person but I just hadn't been |
| 6205s | able to do it in first person oh dear |
| 6208s | but I managed to get bronze yeah and I |
| 6211s | think as well um I did notice if I can |
| 6214s | get through the first sector now for |
| 6218s | platinum I could get through the first |
| 6220s | half of it and I had like maybe 40 |
| 6223s | seconds left then I knew I was okay it's |
| 6225s | just that second sector oh I hate the |
| 6228s | second half of that race I need to have |
| 6230s | a I think I don't actually know if it |
| 6231s | was tolbin that actually implemented |
| 6233s | these races I need to have a |
| 6235s | word now to be fair I I could do do the |
| 6238s | races with normal you know inertia |
| 6240s | dampeners on and in third person that |
| 6242s | would be a lot easier but that was uh |
| 6245s | that was quite horrifically hard and I |
| 6246s | didn't really enjoy that and I actually |
| 6248s | thought I'd do it didn't do it as uh |
| 6250s | sorry I did it quicker than I expected I |
| 6252s | was expecting about four or five gos I |
| 6254s | didn't honestly think I'd get it on the |
| 6256s | uh on the second go but then |
| 6259s | redeemers they kept jumping in on me |
| 6261s | earlier on my test as well and also the |
| 6263s | Elite g&b and I was like you are not |
| 6265s | helping here at all at all uh what I |
| 6268s | want to know is have you guys actually |
| 6270s | tried this have you you know done the |
| 6273s | the the deed of flying through a RAC |
| 6276s | track with your Reesa dampers off in a |
| 6278s | bomber with the first person have you |
| 6280s | tried it it's actually see B bed frogs |
| 6284s | like hey yeah well done oh but you did |
| 6286s | the easiest one to be fair probably |
| 6290s | did but uh yeah speaking of these |
| 6292s | challenges by the way and it was |
| 6294s | something that I did promise I'd come |
| 6295s | back to if you do have any reasonable |
| 6298s | ones um that you'd like me to attempt um |
| 6302s | then please do um uh put them in the |
| 6305s | Discord and let me know uh because I |
| 6307s | will definitely look at the feasability |
| 6309s | of doing them um and see if we can |
| 6313s | actually do them and isn't that a |
| 6314s | wonderful screenshot I me come on how |
| 6318s | can you not like that let me just go |
| 6320s | there I mean look at that look at that |
| 6321s | structure I feel like I'm spoiling it by |
| 6324s | being in the way I really do I I think |
| 6326s | he's a wonderful uh a wonderful |
| 6328s | screenshot now that's a hell of a |
| 6330s | segueway into the next thing that we're |
| 6333s | going to look at and that is the uh |
| 6336s | screenshots that you boys and girls have |
| 6337s | been producing over the last couple of |
| 6338s | weeks and there's been some absolute |
| 6340s | doozies so let's uh let's just do let me |
| 6343s | just go back to here let's just pause |
| 6344s | that I don't need to save it uh just |
| 6346s | give me a couple of minutes while we get |
| 6347s | these things set up and then I shall be |
| 6348s | back don't go nowhere |
| 6355s | [Music] |

| 6393s | that in let's do |
| 6395s | that and then uh yeah let's uh let's |
| 6398s | look at some |
| 6400s | screenshots there we go here we are here |
| 6405s | we are let me just drag that out of the |
| 6407s | way cuz I don't want that there I just |
| 6408s | don't need that anymore uh |
| 6412s | right that |
| 6413s | time to find out the winning DMZ lottery |
| 6416s | numbers yeah if you don't if you don't |
| 6417s | never notice down there at the bottom we |
| 6418s | do have some information that Scrolls |
| 6420s | through and then we have the DMZ news |
| 6422s | including the winning lottery numbers if |
| 6424s | you are in the uh future |
| 6429s | uh but right anyway first off we have a |
| 6432s | wonderful shot um from Discord uh this |
| 6436s | is hair kex and they managed to well if |
| 6439s | you don't know what this wonderful um |
| 6442s | Disco f fantasticness is um then have |
| 6446s | you have you have you ever played the |
| 6448s | game I mean it's a wonderful shot and uh |
| 6451s | uh funny enough all these screenshots |
| 6453s | did have the devs saying look we need to |
| 6455s | kind of collect a a kind of best of the |
| 6458s | best and uh it's getting tougher for |
| 6460s | them to choose uh honestly I I have to |
| 6463s | choose 10 every week and then I put it |
| 6465s | to the team uh for the best shots that I |
| 6468s | kind of find in the in the last two |
| 6470s | weeks uh from any social media where |
| 6473s | ever it is um whether it's steam whether |
| 6475s | it's Discord whether it's Twitter we're |
| 6477s | getting them on Blue Sky as I've said um |
| 6480s | it's very very difficult for me to |
| 6482s | narrow them down uh and then they have |
| 6484s | to narrow them down even further uh and |
| 6487s | choose the the best that they're like uh |
| 6489s | but this one uh it's a it's a web of |
| 6492s | Destruction as as we know um and it |
| 6497s | was a lovely a lovely screenshot bit of |
| 6499s | corrosion going on there but that poor |
| 6501s | uh that poor Fator in there is uh is |
| 6503s | going in for a bit of pain I think uh I |
| 6506s | would want to be the that one uh but |
| 6508s | yeah that was herex over on the Discord |
| 6511s | next up we have this a beauty uh from |
| 6514s | open scev and this one came from Reddit |
| 6518s | so uh I do uh scour everywhere so uh if |
| 6523s | you put them on the Discord if you put |
| 6524s | them on Reddit if you put them on the |
| 6526s | social media wherever it is even Lee um |
| 6529s | because he does a lot of the social |
| 6531s | media uh he looks out for wonderful |
| 6532s | screen shots as well so do uh do take a |
| 6535s | good interest uh on on all the platforms |
| 6538s | because I'll be scaring them as well as |
| 6540s | the rest of the team and if there's any |
| 6541s | suggestions for wonderful screenshots we |
| 6543s | will be uh we will be pointing them out |
| 6546s | to the team to have a look at uh but |
| 6548s | yeah this one's from Reddit from open SC |
| 6550s | Dev now initially um I was so focused on |
| 6553s | the Sentinel I didn't actually realize |
| 6556s | um that it wasn't that ship or his ship |
| 6559s | that was actually doing the the jump uh |
| 6562s | you can see the Y car Corvette |
| 6564s | underneath |
| 6566s | um and uh uh then I realized that that's |
| 6570s | the ship that's actually jumping out not |
| 6572s | his so yeah it's yeah Ben frog when I |
| 6577s | saw that you put 1 2 3 4 56 I thought |
| 6580s | that is quite close to be fair to the to |
| 6582s | the |
| 6583s | [Laughter] |
| 6586s | numbers but yeah uh the winning lery |
| 6589s | numbers will be coming through uh for |
| 6590s | anywhere uh I I kind of uh |
| 6593s | I was a little bit naughty with that one |
| 6595s | cuz everything was like 2 4 6 8 10 and |
| 6597s | everybody was expecting 12 but no |
| 6599s | unfortunately it was |
| 6602s | 13 oh dear but uh next up we have one |
| 6607s | from Discord um let me just double click |
| 6610s | into that one so we can get to see a |
| 6611s | little bit better uh this one is from |
| 6614s | Adam GD uh one of our very regular um |
| 6619s | screenshot uh people uh Galactic well |
| 6621s | not Galactic photographer cuz we only |
| 6623s | dish those out to the exceptional shots |
| 6625s | uh if you've noticed uh but they do take |
| 6628s | some uh uh wonderful screenshots and uh |
| 6631s | they do share them so check out our |
| 6633s | screenshot channel on on Discord um |
| 6637s | wonderful lighting um the ship just |
| 6640s | perfectly positioned well nearly |
| 6642s | perfectly remember I I I try it's kind |
| 6645s | of an OCD with me I can just say that |
| 6647s | it's slightly offc Center uh but you |
| 6649s | know hey it's difficult to do I |
| 6651s | appreciate it's difficult to do |
| 6654s | uh so yeah the Fibonacci |
| 6658s | sequence definitely um but I I I do like |
| 6661s | the lighting um and the textures that |
| 6663s | the the team put into these uh these |
| 6665s | screenshots uh I do think they're |
| 6667s | they're fantastic and you know we we |
| 6669s | always try to improve them the best we |
| 6671s | can it's just a shame actually sometimes |
| 6673s | the pictures that we grab um we lose a |
| 6676s | bit of fidelity because they might be |
| 6677s | compressed uh from wherever we get them |
| 6680s | uh you know some social media sometimes |
| 6681s | compress them so uh uh I may actually |
| 6684s | reach out to some of the people and say |
| 6685s | hey do you have the original so I can |
| 6686s | really show it off uh as high quality as |
| 6689s | possible CU we do like to see the really |
| 6691s | really good shots in in the highest |
| 6693s | definition next up uh another one's from |
| 6696s | social media the uh which this time over |
| 6698s | on Twitter or x uh as uh it's kind of |
| 6701s | called These Days uh and this was from |
| 6704s | mind Jacker uh and I like this one uh |
| 6707s | cuz it really stood out because of a the |
| 6709s | power of the the star there but then |
| 6712s | some he's plunk the striker right in the |
| 6714s | middle of it uh in the way and uh you |
| 6717s | can see he sat there creating the uh the |
| 6720s | Rays uh through the wings and uh the |
| 6723s | different coloration uh like the the you |
| 6726s | you wouldn't believe the spectrum of uh |
| 6728s | of colors that are available you can see |
| 6730s | the purples the blacks uh the Browns the |
| 6732s | Reds uh and then you've got the green |
| 6735s | kind of Corona uh uh around the the star |
| 6739s | there in the middle uh and they're |
| 6740s | always interesting and uh I think |
| 6743s | sometimes when you're just playing |
| 6744s | through the game naturally you might see |
| 6746s | a a situation that you've flown into or |
| 6749s | um a scene and you just think that looks |
| 6751s | so good I need to remember that and come |
| 6753s | back and I think a lot of people do that |
| 6754s | they just realize or just on the spare |
| 6757s | of the moment they just go wow that |
| 6759s | looked really |
| 6760s | cool yeah B frog here's Michael uh just |
| 6764s | sneaking in uh welcome welcome welcome |
| 6767s | so those of you don't know uh Michael is |
| 6769s | the CEO of the company uh and he likes |
| 6772s | to drop in and say hello to all you fine |
| 6774s | uh Pilots uh that follow us whatever |
| 6778s | we're doing uh but yeah this is a |
| 6779s | wonderful shot uh definitely Thor of |
| 6781s | Asgard over on YouTube as just said and |
| 6784s | yeah definitely concer on that one uh |
| 6786s | well positioned and well created uh |
| 6789s | that's what we always like to see next |
| 6792s | up is a classic I think this is an |
| 6795s | absolute classic uh I really do like |
| 6797s | this one and this one's from Steam uh |
| 6800s | sorry no I like yeah sorry is from Steam |
| 6802s | but this is Gordon adgf um and their |
| 6805s | take on this wonderful background um and |
| 6810s | then I think they just so accentuated |
| 6814s | with the ship down here uh it's complete |
| 6817s | contrasting uh with the blue really |
| 6819s | stands out obviously we kind of got the |
| 6822s | almost like corrosion and destruction |
| 6825s | and whatever gas elements have come from |
| 6827s | the breakdown of this ship that are kind |
| 6830s | of just seemingly encircling this planet |
| 6833s | it yet it is just from the uh from the |
| 6835s | ship and the destruction there but um no |
| 6838s | I thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed this one |
| 6840s | just because of the contrasting and uh |
| 6842s | yeah well done to Gordon over on Steam |
| 6847s | um oh Michael Michael's definitely their |
| 6850s | um B frog there we go uh but |
| 6855s | yeah he's jumping around he's jumping |
| 6857s | around he's jumping around yeah |
| 6859s | everybody wants to see Michael when he |
| 6861s | comes in so yeah there will well done on |
| 6863s | that shop next up uh another very |
| 6866s | obviously we've just been there we've |
| 6867s | just been there um uh with the wonderful |
| 6871s | background of the scrapyard you can even |
| 6872s | see in the far Corner uh part of the |
| 6876s | abandoned gate there but you can see the |
| 6878s | the sun and the star in in in the |
| 6881s | distance a great shot and this one again |
| 6883s | comes from Steam uh from frag site um |
| 6887s | interesting name I was trying to |
| 6888s | pronounce it p h r a g c YT um uh a |
| 6893s | wonderful shot and the team really liked |
| 6895s | this one but there was even better ones |
| 6897s | that they liked more and uh to be fair |
| 6900s | again nice Sentinel uh just bursting |
| 6903s | with speed there with the the nice |
| 6905s | bubble in front of the ship which I |
| 6907s | think is uh uh a nice effect I do like |
| 6911s | that effect and uh I hope you do too B |
| 6914s | frog we get some premium Michael select |
| 6916s | again someday we will we'll definitely |
| 6918s | uh um like I said we've got a lot to fit |
| 6921s | in uh especially with the the interviews |
| 6924s | and everything else so uh but yeah |
| 6926s | getting the whole Dev team involved now |
| 6928s | and they do all get involved um for for |
| 6930s | the screenshots is uh is is very very |
| 6933s | cool because it just means they take a |
| 6935s | little bit of the time out of the day to |
| 6936s | appreciate the work and uh uh and the |
| 6939s | Creations that the the viewers and the |
| 6942s | players have created for us so uh yeah |
| 6944s | fair play to them for taking the time |
| 6947s | but that was another shot from Steam now |
| 6950s | switching back we're getting close we're |
| 6952s | getting close |
| 6954s | this one you may have seen if you're on |
| 6956s | our Discord and this is another shot |
| 6958s | from Adam GD um again they produced some |
| 6962s | wonderful shots and it's so difficult so |
| 6967s | so difficult to to pick their best uh |
| 6970s | and uh everything's so subjective as |
| 6972s | well let's be fair um what one person |
| 6975s | thinks is you know a great screenshot |
| 6977s | some people might go me uh but uh |
| 6980s | generally the team thought this was one |
| 6981s | of the best this week uh one of the best |
| 6983s | anyway uh we're very close to the top |
| 6986s | but uh uh fair play to Adam uh is making |
| 6988s | some good uh good stylish shots every |
| 6991s | week and uh we hope you guys and girls |
| 6994s | can uh can create some as well just to |
| 6996s | compete with them you know let's let's |
| 6997s | help the anti let's see what you can |
| 6999s | bring we may even |
| 7001s | um uh possibly try some themed ones |
| 7005s | again um just to see if anybody can kind |
| 7009s | of hey uh hn in on what we would be um |
| 7013s | suggesting that would be quite cool we |
| 7015s | did have some fun with them earlier in |
| 7016s | the year and last year so uh keep your |
| 7019s | eyes peeled for that as |
| 7020s | well uh and |
| 7022s | then third place technically uh in the |
| 7026s | list is this one from Rolling to the |
| 7029s | Grave which I believe is Sorry's |
| 7032s | username on Reddit if I remember |
| 7035s | correctly um and this one is a great |
| 7039s | shot and I'm sure if they're still with |
| 7040s | us uh they'll be able to tell us a |
| 7042s | little bit about how they plan the shot |
| 7045s | Etc but we've got the jellyfish we've |
| 7048s | got the sun with the the the bright star |
| 7050s | in in the middle uh and the forward |
| 7053s | Shield I don't know if they've just got |
| 7054s | the front shield on just to whack the uh |
| 7056s | the jellyfish to be fair |
| 7058s | but you know little bit of of extra |
| 7061s | protection that's definitely for sure uh |
| 7064s | as they're flying through there and uh |
| 7066s | yeah another great a great shot which |
| 7069s | was uh chosen third now you thinking |
| 7072s | hang on this is a good shot who's going |
| 7074s | to beat it well that was uh rolling to |
| 7076s | the Grave from Reddit just uh for making |
| 7081s | sure on that this was second place and |
| 7084s | this comes from Vortex lash on |
| 7087s | Steam and I thought this would be the |
| 7089s | one that would win to be fair I really |
| 7091s | did um I'll just zoom out to the proper |
| 7094s | the proper size of it uh CU it's not uh |
| 7096s | 16 by9 but um the bomber there is |
| 7101s | pounding away onto to that Beacon and uh |
| 7105s | yeah I I thought this one would uh would |
| 7107s | win to be fair but hey I don't get to |
| 7109s | vote in these I just provide the shots |
| 7111s | and uh the team voted this one is second |
| 7114s | uh but I do like it uh if you taking on |
| 7118s | uh the |
| 7119s | incursions then you'll know the the this |
| 7122s | moment when you're absolutely hammering |
| 7123s | away to the shields are down and the |
| 7126s | vulnerable and you it's just just about |
| 7128s | to explode and crack and be destroyed uh |
| 7131s | it's such a good feeling and then you |
| 7133s | get to see what it reveals if it's the |
| 7135s | last one now this like I said it was in |
| 7139s | second place it wasn't even the |
| 7142s | winner and that one goes to somebody |
| 7145s | from Twitter from X uh which I picked up |
| 7149s | uh I think earlier this week and I'd |
| 7152s | seen it and this one's from jazara over |
| 7155s | on Twitter and it is this shot right |
| 7158s | here and I think that to be fair it was |
| 7162s | going to if it going to be anything that |
| 7163s | would beat the previous shot from Vortex |
| 7165s | lash it was going to be this one uh the |
| 7167s | engines swooping from The Outlaw |
| 7171s | there it's so iconic and as magic and |
| 7175s | Sparkle just put there very striking |
| 7176s | indeed uh they the dreadn the minow in |
| 7179s | the background and the dreadn there uh |
| 7183s | sorry the outo Scout just swooping |
| 7185s | around with its Trails behind behind |
| 7188s | it ah I I it was always going to be very |
| 7191s | very difficult and fair play play to |
| 7192s | them um for creating such a wonderful |
| 7195s | screenshot and uh I think there's the |
| 7197s | challenge I really do I think there's |
| 7199s | the challenge can you create something |
| 7202s | as striking and as wonderful as this |
| 7204s | screenshot so I kind of throwing down |
| 7206s | the gauntlet to you all there uh to to |
| 7209s | really bring your air game uh to the |
| 7211s | screenshots so usually what happens just |
| 7214s | so you're all aware is on the Monday |
| 7217s | before the stream so like the Monday |
| 7219s | that's just gone I will pick out across |
| 7221s | all the different social medias and all |
| 7223s | the different places that we have the |
| 7225s | steam forums you know on the uh |
| 7226s | screenshots on there Discord social |
| 7229s | media I will go through there on a |
| 7230s | Monday before the stream and pick out |
| 7232s | the ones that I want the team to take a |
| 7235s | look at and narrow down to their |
| 7236s | favorites so if you have any get them in |
| 7239s | the Monday before the stream uh and then |
| 7242s | you may have a chance uh of being |
| 7244s | featured so uh yeah but yeah fair play |
| 7246s | there to jazara over on Twitter for |
| 7250s | creating a wonderful shop now they do do |
| 7252s | other um um virtual photography as well |
| 7256s | so they're very practiced at the art uh |
| 7259s | and uh so you've got some competition |
| 7261s | there boys and girls uh this is why we |
| 7263s | need nian CAT engine Trails I thought |
| 7266s | somebody might mention that to be fair |
| 7268s | but yeah uh very great shot very great |
| 7270s | shot so while we get to just close to |
| 7273s | the end of the stream um a couple of |
| 7276s | things that I kind of just want to talk |
| 7277s | through just so that you boys and girls |
| 7279s | are kind of up to speed with everything |
| 7281s | as I just bring my my notes swooping |
| 7283s | across the screen there um couple of |
| 7285s | sales are going on at the moment which I |
| 7287s | think uh you obviously want to know |
| 7289s | about it maybe you're new to the game |
| 7291s | you've maybe been trying the demo uh |
| 7293s | maybe you've got it on one platform but |
| 7295s | you think hey I'd like to buy another |
| 7296s | one uh currently uh ever Space 2 is 60% |
| 7299s | off yes 60% off you didn't hear that |
| 7302s | wrong over on Playstation so if you want |
| 7304s | to try that out uh so if you've got a |
| 7306s | PlayStation 5 perfect time for you to |
| 7309s | dive in on there uh Humble Bundle also |
| 7313s | has got a wonderful |
| 7315s | uh bundle Humble Bundle bundle uh for RO |
| 7320s | robots Mech machine Sal and that's again |
| 7323s | 60% off that's for PC uh so if you want |
| 7326s | it on there you can grab it there also |
| 7328s | you can obviously um uh give some cash |
| 7330s | to charity through there and that's what |
| 7332s | they do a wonderful thing uh I've also |
| 7334s | got something to ask of you boys and |
| 7336s | girls if you can um obviously you know |
| 7338s | that we every other stream now we're |
| 7341s | going to be featuring um another fellow |
| 7344s | Indie developer uh just to help them |
| 7346s | push through the the noise uh that is um |
| 7350s | the the gaming world uh and how |
| 7352s | difficult it is especially for Indie |
| 7353s | devs to uh to be seen um you know we've |
| 7357s | uh we've been in this situation for many |
| 7359s | many years and we still find it |
| 7361s | difficult especially when the big boys |
| 7362s | are spending so much on marketing um but |
| 7365s | what I'd ask you to do is that if you |
| 7367s | haven't already uh it'd be thoroughly |
| 7369s | appreciated if you could leave us a |
| 7371s | review uh for forever space too if you |
| 7374s | already have that's perfectly fine but |
| 7376s | what we would like you to do is go find |
| 7379s | an indie Dev whose game you've played uh |
| 7381s | and if you can leave them a review on |
| 7382s | steam it could be one that you've maybe |
| 7385s | played years ago one that you've maybe |
| 7386s | played recently just go give them a |
| 7389s | review if it was a game you enjoyed |
| 7391s | reviews really do help push through that |
| 7394s | noise I know we keep saying that but it |
| 7396s | is um getting more and more congested |
| 7399s | and it just gives everybody a nice |
| 7402s | little boost and a little leg up and |
| 7403s | said hey look at me you can see me and |
| 7406s | positive reviews are one of the best |
| 7408s | ways to do that so if you're on steam or |
| 7410s | even any of the other storefronts if |
| 7412s | you've played an indie game that you've |
| 7413s | never left a review for um please do |
| 7415s | take just 5 minutes out of your day if |
| 7417s | you can uh and then take a look and |
| 7419s | leave a review because we'd appreciate |
| 7421s | it immensely and I'm sure others will |
| 7424s | too uh so next time next time which is |
| 7427s | going to be in 2 weeks time which is |
| 7429s | going to be the 22nd of November when we |
| 7431s | have our next stream uh we're going to |
| 7433s | be looking at obviously more a space um |
| 7436s | as |
| 7437s | I carry on through the Bel of grid um |
| 7440s | trying not to die in my hard playthrough |
| 7442s | but we're also going to be looking at |
| 7443s | another fellow Indie Dev which hasn't |
| 7444s | been decided uh just yet we need to look |
| 7447s | at that as well and we're going to be |
| 7448s | working on more Rockfish games Dev |
| 7451s | interviews again as we said if you have |
| 7453s | any questions that uh or people that |
| 7455s | you'd like to specifically interview |
| 7457s | maybe we could arrange that but again |
| 7459s | not everybody's wanting to do them uh we |
| 7460s | do respect that as well because takes |
| 7462s | time out of their busy schedules and uh |
| 7465s | on an evening a Friday evening here uh |
| 7467s | in the UK and in Germany uh we don't |
| 7470s | want to imp and John anybody's family |
| 7471s | time uh we're very very mindful of that |
| 7474s | um family we are a family and family |
| 7476s | comes first as well so uh but yeah do |
| 7478s | send us some questions uh we can see if |
| 7480s | we can col collect some for the other |
| 7482s | interviews as well uh and I know as I've |
| 7485s | said Michael is willing to hop on for an |
| 7487s | interview as well which would be really |
| 7489s | really cool uh so we'll be looking |
| 7490s | forward to that uh when we get round to |
