338s	going to keep it nice and simple I want
339s	to make sure that you guys understand
341s	all of these awesome moments that we
344s	have shared together this was our launch
346s	year it's crazy in the gaming industry
349s	this year holy cow I mean if if anybody
351s	has been paying attention to all the
352s	moving Parts it has been wild and we are
356s	so appreciative of having the support
357s	from you guys being able to continue
360s	doing what we're doing like we're in a
362s	we're in a pretty decent spot for uh
364s	where all things considered uh and we're
366s	happy to be able to pump more juice into
368s	ever Space 2 not only with the recent
370s	free update but with another one that's
372s	coming around the corner uh and then
375s	last but not least uh we'll talk about
377s	uh what that future looks like so we can
379s	kind of you know iron out some of those
382s	sort of thoughts that you might be
383s	curious about and uh um we'll go over
386s	the timeline a little in a little bit
388s	more detail not much more uh just to
391s	bring that all together so cool
395s	excellent I'm looking over at the chats
397s	right now and my goodness there's a lot
398s	of people I see them Happy New Year's
400s	and merry Christmases and uh so good oh
405s	goodness I I it would take a long time
408s	to read all of these names thank you so
410s	much for coming back for like so many
412s	names I'm reading that are fresh and new
414s	and I'm seeing a few uh newcomers that's
418s	great I love it I love it so welcome to
422s	everybody let's get into this nightmare
425s	play session we are in the Clone carrier
428s	we're basically like in the the loading
431s	area of everspace one right now where
433s	we're choosing our ship uh looks a
435s	little different cuz we have a different
436s	perspective but I think that's kind of
438s	fun and we are going to try and uh do
442s	some fun stuff in the rest of this
444s	Mission
446s	chain and remember during this session
449s	and show casing what the game has to
450s	offer we will be answering
454s	questions so by all means shoot them
457s	towards us we'd love to help provide any
461s	Clarity that you may or may not
463s	have EMP will Resto
471s	re right out of the gates Oar Prime
473s	Fighters over here my
478s	goodness
491s	excellent
495s	go all right so I'm going to explore the
498s	down carrier for just a little bit there
500s	are a couple fun secrets in the area one
503s	that's kind of beautiful so I want to
505s	just show that
508s	off and then we will keep moving on with
510s	the story for those who kind of missed
513s	how we got this part far and like where
516s	we're at and everything uh obviously
518s	spoilers for both everspace one and two
520s	honestly um but uh yeah this is uh this
524s	is definitely the origin point of where
526s	you would be starting your runs from
528s	everspace
530s	one and
532s	um I love how my ship matches this
535s	location too that was
537s	completely not almost w it it really
540s	wasn't planned I uh I actually need to
542s	unlock more engine colors but that's
544s	kind of funny how uh how it kind of
546s	comes together at times but I love this
549s	I love this scene honestly like where
550s	you just you're underneath the ice and
553s	you see all of this I just I love this I
556s	love these large open yet interior
560s	spaces where you have to explore and
564s	navigate just adds a lot of depth I feel
566s	like to um what we try to accomplish
569s	with
571s	uh the level design as a whole I think
574s	Tony's done a really good job of
576s	bringing this all together honoring a
579s	lot of classic games you know I mean I
580s	could honestly go into so many games um
584s	the first one that comes to mind for me
585s	though is
587s	descent any big descent players out
589s	there I want you to raise your
591s	hand cuz man I played the heck out of
594s	that game when I was
596s	young when I was a lad
606s	so bright all
609s	right Eric is going to try and do
611s	puzzles look
613s	okay all
615s	right I I I can I believe I can
618s	accomplish
620s	tasks I've done it before in the past I
623s	can do it
627s	again there's not much
630s	that's just a nice little area I feel
631s	like we want to get that sealed um uh
642s	container but yeah really really happy
645s	with how a lot of our worlds have come
649s	together honestly feel really good about
653s	them now if I recall correctly is it up
657s	I
657s	can't maybe it's up here
663s	oh yeah oh goodness yeah the slow down
666s	oh let's try again I think it's through
671s	this guess no
683s	maybe man I don't know about you but
685s	like hearing the wind and looking at
687s	this envir I'm like actually getting
688s	colder
690s	how is that even possible that's
693s	weird oh there it is
696s	goodness I stopped and turn around I was
698s	almost
709s	there all right I read the comment about
712s	you can only investigate things by
713s	shooting them well I mean there's also
715s	the interact button which is rather
716s	important too I mean don't don't neglect
718s	that
720s	it's not just about shooting
725s	things uh
729s	wait I'm missing a slot there you are
732s	flew right by it my
735s	gosh right by
739s	it all right now we just have to set up
742s	the right
746s	symbols I think it's actually in the
748s	structure in the middle
758s	Gary I think I haven't done this puzzle
759s	in so long it's almost like I'm doing it
762s	for the first
764s	time jeez it's it's a good experience to
767s	show honestly it kind of is though so
770s	you know for newcomers who are like
772s	coming into the experience of ever Space
774s	2 um we are in more of a late game
777s	situation here um we've completed most
780s	of the story uh we're starting to uh not
783s	just have
784s	to uh blow stuff up and level up I mean
787s	there's still that aspect of it but now
790s	we also get to be a little bit more
791s	thoughtful in these locations and uh
793s	poke around a little bit and explore
795s	what nuances there are in these
797s	handcrafted environments all of these
800s	locations and these structures
801s	everything was put here with great
803s	intent with great
805s	purpose and um I can't remember at all
809s	even where the hints are for it it's
811s	awesome which is great um so there's
815s	that it's
816s	[Laughter]
818s	good I think I've already done that but
820s	definitely can faster uh I'm probably
824s	reading that out of context but if
825s	you're referring to the puzzle here and
826s	doing it faster I am confident that you
828s	probably could I might just uh leave
831s	this area if I can now remember how to
832s	get out of
833s	it which I think yeah that totally
835s	wasn't the the context that was in was
838s	question from another about doing a
840s	speed run ever space one to wizard Jerry
843s	perfect oh here we are here we are I
845s	found them this is what I was looking
846s	for and then there's the one that fell
849s	and it's the I okay so it's SD i
854s	z there we
858s	go there we go and of course we have the
862s	crystal here so that means this is the S
865s	cuz the pattern is you know there's a
867s	crystal in the middle of it
873s	just got to keep your eyes peeled it is
875s	meant to take a little bit it requires
879s	thought and
880s	exploration it's not meant to just be
882s	like push the colored buttons in a
885s	sequence red blue green no it we we want
888s	you
889s	to we want you to really put together
891s	some thought
892s	here all right s
894s	[Music]
895s	d this one's I the last one is z
911s	almost
912s	done and for some reason this doesn't do
915s	it I'm going to uh blame uh
919s	Michael we'll just move on there we
924s	go Michael's like what oh ah I'm just
928s	being a butt all right all right now we
930s	get to shoot this
932s	laser rebuild this orb glowing thing and
936s	everything around
938s	us
943s	taada solar particles and dark energy
946s	that's going to help establish more of
947s	our
948s	um uh jump
951s	points now next up is figuring out the
954s	way that we came in which I know is like
956s	around a
958s	corner
961s	there was a glowy bit wasn't
966s	there wait I'm not upside down in this
968s	cave am I oh my gosh I'm questioning
972s	everything Gary what is
973s	[Laughter]
976s	happening
987s	woo a door
990s	no goodness
992s	[Music]
995s	gravy wonderful great so yeah I guess
999s	what I'm explaining today is that when
1000s	you get into an exploration Vibe
1003s	sometimes you're going to get lost which
1004s	is fine it's
1007s	good
1009s	jeez here I thought oh yeah I'll just do
1011s	the cave at the opening it'll be super
1014s	fast barely an
1017s	inconvenience my
1034s	gosh like holding my breath right
1037s	now so everybody else I think yeah I
1040s	think so but uh I mean I think right now
1041s	is a really good time um for a lot of
1044s	questions to actually come out I mean
1045s	obviously we're showing a little bit of
1047s	a slower pce section where we are
1049s	literally we're exploring right we're
1050s	trying to figure things out um and this
1053s	is going to be part of the experience
1055s	and it's very much intended to be uh we
1057s	wanted to bring to light a lot of
1059s	different aspects of everspace 2
1061s	together not just go blow stuff up like
1064s	that's a big part of it don't get me
1066s	wrong we absolutely want to honor that
1068s	audience and we want to do a lot of fun
1070s	things on that front but in regards to
1073s	um like the space shooter as a whole
1076s	like any if you guys have played any
1077s	sort of like space shooter in the past
1080s	to any semblance of a degree you'll know
1083s	that the environments surrounding where
1085s	you're going have to be executed
1087s	decently well too good place to use the
1090s	markers yeah oh no I I complet
1092s	completely agree I should have dropped a
1093s	marker when I entered uh would have made
1095s	a lot easier to to
1099s	exit I
1101s	wonder I wonder I'm curious if I do
1105s	something like this no we don't have a
1107s	follow-up marker unfortunate
1112s	we do have uh some clever systems where
1114s	Whenever you set a marker it will show
1116s	you the next point where you need to
1117s	move to wait is that a is that a hole or
1120s	is that a crystal that's a
1123s	crystal it's got to be around here
1125s	somewhere I need somebody to backtrack
1127s	in the Stream tell me where I came
1132s	in oh my gosh across the slowy bits is
1136s	it
1137s	seriously
1150s	that does make sense because it would be
1151s	an entry into
1156s	things this is going
1160s	down we need
1162s	to go
1167s	up
1170s	this is going this is going into no we
1173s	need go out need to go out
1176s	of where you at oh my
1179s	gosh guys if I can't figure this out
1181s	like the next 5 minutes I'm just going
1183s	to reload my save we're not going to do
1184s	this but this is uh this is
1187s	ridiculous I can't believe it and I'm
1189s	only saying that for the stream sake
1191s	only saying that for the stream
1194s	sake with the ancient Cube
1197s	thing this SP no we were already we
1201s	already came over
1205s	here
1207s	no joining the stream Eric is lost oh my
1210s	gosh hi Casper I can't I can't believe
1213s	I've done this this is this is uh my
1221s	goodness hello everyone welcome to the
1223s	stream where the developer doesn't know
1225s	how to play his own game wow um this
1229s	does not happen like hardly ever and uh
1231s	how did I get turned around in
1242s	this so much how I move you'd get it
1244s	turned around too all right that's
1245s	probably
1246s	Fair all right we're going to look in
1248s	this direction and then we're going to
1250s	have uh Casper guide me home so while
1253s	I'm staring at this globe waiting on
1257s	instructions imagine being a Dev I know
1260s	right oh gosh um I just want to talk to
1263s	you guys about uh this year cuz I mean
1266s	it really has been a an interesting Year
1269s	all things considered I mean we had over
1271s	a 2-year Early Access
1274s	period that um you know got so much more
1280s	attention to all of its systems through
1284s	a number of worldly
1287s	events and through that process we got
1289s	so much additional and invaluable
1298s	feedback wait a second if the if the if
1302s	the runes make a big square and the
1303s	globe is on one side go to the opposite
1306s	side of the square and look
1309s	up so over
1315s	here geek bite you're laughing am I
1317s	doing something wrong
1319s	is this incorrect no no you do anything
1320s	great oh my goodness it's like it's been
1323s	here this whole time mocking
1326s	me no that was just the chance excellent
1329s	but um but sincerely um it has been one
1333s	heck of a year for us getting a I
1336s	suppose you could say extension to Early
1338s	Access was at first something that was
1341s	uh very frustrating for us and probably
1343s	I imagine for a lot of our backers too
1345s	and it ended up being quite the blessing
1347s	because through that time period we were
1349s	able to do so much more with all of you
1354s	we were able to receive so much more
1355s	feedback and criticism of what was
1358s	working what wasn't we were able to see
1360s	the praise what you guys were
1362s	enjoying uh we were able to see uh what
1365s	simply was not
1368s	working um there there have been a lot
1370s	of various details
1373s	throughout this process and we owe so
1377s	much credit to you guys for not only
1380s	your support through backing us but then
1383s	also through the support of Early Access
1385s	itself um in the form of not only
1389s	finances but also through your voice
1392s	just sharing the game with others uh
1394s	telling us your thoughts your feelings
1397s	your very heavy laden
1399s	opinions it's been good it's really good
1403s	and we were able to bring to light so
1405s	many unique aspects of the game that we
1408s	actually didn't know we needed so thank
1413s	you thank you so
1415s	much thank you so much getting us this
1418s	far into these new
1420s	territories and now you know with the
1423s	armed and dangerous update expanding the
1425s	itemization and with the incursions
1427s	update around the corner where we were
1429s	talking about legendaries and uh uh
1431s	revamping and in-game system I'm just
1434s	really excited for what's going to be
1436s	next for for uh
1438s	for you guys and for us the whole the
1441s	whole kit kat and kadoodle or whatever
1443s	that statement
1447s	is words yeah words I like this cut
1450s	scene I'm just going to watch
1454s	it but
1461s	uh man I'm seeing a lot of I'm seeing a
1463s	lot of interesting questions coming in
1465s	uh maybe we should just start answering
1467s	some questions right away what do you
1468s	think
1469s	uh I've got a couple lined up yeah let's
1471s	do it why not uh first up we've got uh
1475s	deian over on YouTube uh they want to
1478s	know uh in ke where did the Bas
1481s	environmental effects and Hazards come
1483s	from uh how much is science and how much
1485s	is kind of gamification oh my gosh well
1489s	I think from the
1490s	um I'm here hang on a second I'm going
1492s	to uh drop the audio of these voice
1496s	talkers voice talkers
1499s	man we are winning today with words um
1502s	but uh yeah so when it comes to how we
1506s	want to bring everything together in the
1507s	world of everspace and this started from
1510s	everspace one the first rule of thumb in
1514s	any game ever is that you have to make
1518s	sure that the gameplay experience is
1520s	going to be satisfying right so
1522s	regardless of realism there has to be
1525s	this aspect of because it's fun
1529s	only then you're bringing in that other
1531s	aspect of realism to make that immersive
1535s	experience come together right so um and
1538s	I say gamep play and then I was saying
1541s	realism it's not really one before the
1543s	other they really have to work hand
1545s	inand okay you've probably heard me in
1547s	the past say in the streams where I was
1549s	like gameplay is more important than
1551s	story in most cases yes but there are
1554s	exceptions and because we have a a
1557s	narrative driven experience here we do
1559s	have to put a lot of focus on how the
1561s	story comes together and how the world
1564s	makes sense to the
1568s	player with something like the uh ke
1571s	system here and having been the after
1574s	effects of a
1579s	um uh what's it called when the star
1581s	explodes oh my gosh words the supernova
1585s	supernova thank you there's there's the
1587s	um the aftermath of a supernova there's
1590s	like residual energies here we played
1593s	around with what that would feel like
1595s	how the player would interact with that
1596s	and what it would look
1598s	like and we had fun with
1602s	it it's not meant to
1605s	be a
1606s	simulation of what it would actually
1609s	be but rather we used those tools in
1612s	order to create an interesting
1614s	environment and some unique challenges
1616s	for the player uh to go after
1620s	those that completionist nature that's
1624s	burning in your
1628s	blood so yeah good
1632s	question good question what's the next
1634s	one done um same from deian again on uh
1638s	YouTube um just wondering if we're going
1641s	to get any kind of sneak peek later on
1643s	uh about anything that might be coming
1645s	next year oh absolutely yeah we're going
1648s	to we're going to talk about um what's
1650s	to come and uh so yeah there's we're
1652s	going to probably address that a little
1654s	bit in the latter half of the stream but
1657s	yeah we this is something like just
1659s	going through the year as a whole we
1661s	also want to talk about you know next
1664s	steps right what's around the corner I
1666s	think it would be a disservice if we
1668s	didn't honestly so yeah we we'll touch
1671s	on that at the very least a little
1673s	bit very least a little
1677s	bit
1678s	can't remember where this anent room
1680s	goes all right go for it uh just last
1683s	question really um and this one's come
1685s	from Wizard Jerry uh but it kind of ties
1687s	in with all our uh physical reward
1690s	backers who back to own Kickstarter he
1692s	was just wondering how the art book Etc
1695s	and everything was going to be delivered
1696s	uh specifically in the UK um but I can
1700s	answer that one obvious I live in the UK
1702s	um so uh obviously we've sent the items
1705s	out via DHL uh originally
1708s	uh Etc but for specifically for the UK
1711s	it'll probably get handed over to either
1712s	parcel force or the Royal Male in the UK
1716s	other countries wherever you are you'll
1718s	probably still be handled by DHL
1723s	directly that's a good answer cool what
1727s	other questions we got uh nothing
1730s	currently oh okay cool um and just kind
1732s	of talk on the front of like um art
1735s	books um we did have a statement was it
1740s	yesterday even I think it might have
1741s	been yesterday um just talking about how
1744s	um we will have a limited copy of art
1749s	books to be sold um so if you want a
1752s	physical art book we will let you know
1754s	when those are available for purchase
1757s	and send you the appropriate links
1758s	thereof um it's we're going to need a
1761s	little bit of time like we're we've uh
1763s	only just recently shipped uh and moved
1766s	a lot of
1768s	pieces around to bring everything
1771s	together and it's a it's a process it
1773s	takes a while it takes a while I feel
1776s	like I'm looking at the end of the
1777s	puzzle I'm remembering I'm remembering
1781s	um there's a lot that has to be done at
1784s	the beginning Ah that's it that's it
1785s	okay where the cube goes yep that is
1788s	where the cube goes thanks
1790s	Adam um but
1795s	yeah let's go get the cube glad it's
1803s	marked one question that's just com in
1806s	on YouTube um from dance over on there
1810s	uh just wondering is there any chance of
1811s	seeing black holes entering into the
1814s	game I mean I suppose there's a chance
1817s	um but that's not really like we could
1819s	entertain that idea but it's not really
1822s	I don't think there's a fruitful
1823s	conversation there me just saying
1825s	there's a chance isn't you know
1827s	indicative of it actually happening or
1829s	not like it there's a chance yeah maybe
1833s	um I think what a better question would
1836s	be um and a better answer that I could
1838s	give you is are we trying to expand
1841s	everspace 2 with a few new unique
1843s	challenges and events um and things to
1846s	just generally do in the gamees space
1848s	for its future and the answer to that I
1850s	can say soundly is yes we want to bring
1853s	more um more fun into the gameplay
1856s	experience and we're looking at a lot of
1857s	different ways that that could happen um
1861s	and I also do want to stretch that this
1863s	is not me like saying oh yeah this I'm
1867s	answering your question indirectly
1870s	because I can't say the black holes are
1871s	going to come to the game no no no I'm I
1874s	I'm I can't even speak on black holes it
1876s	is not something that um we are really
1879s	focused on so truly when I say there's a
1883s	possibility I suppose that's literally
1886s	the response like everybody on the team
1889s	would like well uh
1892s	maybe yeah lots of factors there isn't
1894s	that fun is not a fun
1896s	answer but yeah so wish I could be more
1899s	detailed but uh but do know regardless
1902s	of that question uh we would like to
1904s	bring a little bit more to the table of
1905s	whatever Space 2 has to
1907s	offer
1911s	so ah fun so
1915s	good all right now we're almost almost
1917s	done with this puzzle cuz this one's
1919s	actually the easier one in the
1924s	area this is fine released the warden
1927s	where did it go it seems to moved to
1930s	that lens and activated it let's see
1932s	where it needs to be
1934s	pointed oh whoops
1938s	nope forgot to move things around how
1941s	dare
1942s	I yeah see this is where just shooting
1944s	stuff isn't applicable there was that
1946s	conversation earlier nope you have to
1947s	you have to to interact with things and
1948s	it's fun who doesn't like knocking
1950s	things around in space physics in games
1953s	is almost always like a yes please I
1955s	enjoy
1960s	this and it's no different
1965s	here honestly one of the most enjoyable
1967s	things that I do that is incredibly
1969s	difficult and hard to pull off during a
1971s	stream which is why you probably never
1972s	seen me do it I love throwing debris at
1977s	enemies during combat and watching them
1979s	explode that way it is hard to pull off
1981s	especially if you're like lining up a
1983s	shot as they're flying in the same
1984s	direction but man when you do it gosh
1986s	dang is it
1988s	satisfying if you've never done it
1990s	before try it cuz it cuz like it it is
1994s	it is yeah it just feels good it feels
1997s	good for for all the right reasons
2006s	honestly
2010s	time to put your ancient soul to
2015s	rest it's Music Man speaking of music I
2019s	wish the OST had um more tracks in it
2023s	that would be super great what's that g
2026s	you just added 27 new tracks to the OST
2029s	for completely free so users who had the
2031s	OSD purchased to have access to 27 new
2034s	tracks that's pretty impressive all
2036s	right that's pretty
2042s	neat pretty
2045s	awesome get on
2048s	that 57 tracks total I think it's
2051s	somewhere is it is it close to 4 hours
2053s	or 3 hours shoot I can't remember now
2056s	all I know is that I'm dying to this
2058s	Warden
2066s	yikes this heal me up please a little
2068s	bit
2073s	more it's like one of my favorite tracks
2075s	in the game though it's just so so
2081s	good yeah Le just confirmed it's nearly
2084s	3 hours 170 minutes music nice thanks
2089s	Lee tickle your yeah I appreciate that
2092s	I'm glad somebody's not scatterbrain in
2094s	the Stream
2096s	today let's head the structure and
2100s	check not appear to have resulted in
2103s	theed effect no portal is
2110s	materialized uh let's see the only
2113s	reason I remember how to go into these
2114s	structures is honestly because of how
2116s	it's designed in everspace
2121s	one so good I imagine somebody who
2123s	hasn't played everspace one they might
2125s	actually find some challenge getting
2126s	into it cuz this this is a this is a
2128s	little secret a little secret hole there
2130s	you know you know but is labeled like
2133s	there are unique attributes to this we
2135s	got that glowing
2137s	crystal in general most of the level
2139s	design does hearken back to those
2141s	classic roots of the breadcrumbs path
2145s	right so if you're seeing something that
2147s	looks interesting unique or otherwise
2149s	curious uh it's probably relevant to
2152s	what you're trying to
2156s	accomplish
2159s	I had to unify the number a little no no
2162s	no minutes and numbers are the same
2164s	between America and Germany that's that
2165s	that doesn't change no we're
2167s	[Laughter]
2170s	we're I think you might be thinking
2172s	about like Imperial to
2174s	metric but uh you know it's it's all
2176s	good all right we're gonna we're going
2178s	to get out of the coyote system for now
2181s	I definitely want to go back and
2182s	complete some more fun stuff there but
2184s	uh we're going to do this first
2198s	um I didn't see another question that
2200s	I'm just going to I'm going to answer it
2201s	anyway cuz this is normally the question
2203s	answer period and uh we didn't get too
2205s	many so sneaking this one in the
2207s	question from noad Nomad over on Twitch
2211s	um says are there any hardware
2212s	optimization issues at the moment not
2214s	that I have any um we have been tracking
2217s	uh certain locations and events that
2220s	occur inside of everspace 2 um and we're
2224s	not going to say we're fixing everything
2226s	cuz that's that would be a very arduous
2229s	task for us to take on but we are
2232s	looking into seeing what is possible
2234s	what we can tweak and refine as we
2236s	continue creating new content both the
2239s	free content that will be available um
2241s	next year as well as the
2244s	DLC I don't think it would be wise of us
2246s	to not try and tidy up some details um
2250s	as we continue to develop into the game
2252s	um that would that would be a shame on
2254s	us moment so those of you who are still
2256s	getting plagued with certain issues
2259s	regarding like Gilbert Naval base for
2261s	example we hear you we know it's
2264s	frustrating to a degree uh some more
2266s	than others I suppose and it's something
2268s	that's still on our radar and if we can
2270s	tweak it and refine it a little bit more
2272s	uh we will find ways to do that um
2274s	accordingly but do not expect miracles I
2276s	got to say say that I got to put that
2278s	down as well it's not going to just
2280s	magically go away I wish that's how it
2283s	worked but unfortunately it is not all
2286s	right we need to go oh back to oh we
2289s	have to go back to our base our home
2290s	base silly me why did I go to
2294s	Prescott
2297s	goodness my
2302s	gosh what about solar versus side real
2305s	time oh my gosh spoot Knight get out of
2311s	here that's so good all right let's get
2313s	back to our home base here we
2329s	go I just read the chat from YouTube
2331s	that says it's important Eric doesn't
2333s	get YouTube in full context you guys we
2336s	just P him up looks like
2345s	gout we are absolutely going to need to
2347s	craft some material before this
2349s	engagement otherwise we are going to get
2352s	screwed and I am intentionally saving my
2356s	um G
2358s	key for set
2360s	engagement you punks cuz I know you're
2363s	all thinking it oh maybe I need to use
2365s	it oh gosh I am a
2369s	win let's just use one of these that
2371s	should that should clean up a little bit
2377s	yeah oh blueprint
2384s	nice that was a lot easier when we use
2387s	the tools that are at our
2391s	disposal all right uh base is over here
2395s	wow
2399s	a blaster that could be kind of
2404s	fun let's
2406s	see yeah both of these items they're
2408s	just they're just too under we're only
2410s	level
2410s	21 really shoot we're in a mission chain
2414s	that I think is like level 25 aren't we
2416s	that was level
2418s	24 maybe we shouldn't trigger this yet
2420s	maybe we need to let's let's get level
2422s	22 really quick let's go let's go
2425s	complete a task
2427s	some random task
2435s	jeez I look over at twitch and says Eric
2437s	is severely lacking in DPS yes I am but
2441s	so long as the stream is not dropping
2443s	frames everything's fine so my brain can
2446s	be slow that's not a problem but if the
2448s	stream is slow we got to fix
2452s	it have I mentioned it's been a crazy
2455s	week on top of just the fact that the
2456s	the year has been wild my
2460s	goodness level
2463s	16 all right hang on that's not even not
2466s	even worth
2471s	it let's take a quick look at looks like
2474s	we got a lot done in cedo did we
2477s	finalize no we did not
2480s	okay um I'm confident that we've got a
2482s	number of locations that we can cruise
2484s	through here to just
2488s	we haven't ever been there oh my
2492s	gosh okay no we need to we need to go
2495s	back to base and you
2498s	use our Rift uh not Rift the
2503s	um fast travel
2506s	system why has it been a crazy week a
2508s	lot of moving parts right like there's
2510s	like I feel like anybody who has any
2513s	sense of a moderates to high level of
2517s	demand for their work and getting things
2519s	accomplished before the end of the year
2521s	generally there's a little bit more
2523s	stress than not I think um you know that
2526s	being said it's not like I say stress
2528s	that make that makes it sound bad it's
2530s	not really stress there's just a lot
2531s	that we've been able to accomplish um
2533s	this month um and wrapping it all up in
2536s	a nice neat little bow before uh we
2538s	depart for break is
2540s	um not simple right there's a lot of
2543s	details in that so yeah team's been
2546s	hammering away at a lot of different
2548s	projects from a lot of different angles
2549s	it's rather impressive to see how much
2551s	we've still accomplished even right
2553s	before but um yeah it's been a it's been
2557s	a b
2559s	busy busy
2564s	week all right yeah let's let's do this
2567s	location challenge cuz we get to go
2569s	through the biomes and that's kind of
2572s	fun and also destroy this
2575s	guy
2585s	let's hop to get those Shields down
2587s	first rip do a lot more damage had
2596s	I a little closer all
2599s	right are they not close enough ah dang
2603s	it that's a shame
2609s	but effective
2620s	nonetheless lot of blueprints oh my gosh
2623s	I'm loving
2624s	it what is look at all
2628s	this this that poor freelancer oh shoot
2631s	now poor me all right hang
2634s	on if only we had a an ultimate
2638s	yes
2640s	yes oh
2643s	satisfaction and the JK oh
2649s	yeah
2653s	ah all
2655s	right all right all right I look over
2658s	the chat I see Inquisitor bug still
2659s	isn't fixed I see ah well I am not
2661s	actually running in a Dev build today um
2665s	because
2667s	a number of reasons
2670s	actually but uh I'm actually pretty sure
2674s	that we haven't addressed that yet it's
2676s	still on our to-do list but we do have
2679s	it uh we do have it
2684s	listed that's
2691s	funny yeah a lot of tasks we've been
2693s	handling as of late it's been good
2697s	all right let's do this this is
2702s	fun actually while I'm doing this I kind
2705s	of have a general question for all of
2707s	you watching and the question is what
2709s	are some of your most memorable SL
2712s	favorite side missions or even
2714s	full-blown missions from everspace 2
2718s	like what stands out you
2720s	know and I asked that question because
2723s	uh notably I actually really enjoy these
2726s	little drone challenges these little
2728s	navigation challenges this something
2729s	that I particularly enjoy but I want you
2732s	guys to tell me what has stood out and
2734s	you were like I wish there was more of
2736s	this or I really liked that let me
2739s	know the first thing I see is killing
2744s	jellyfish all
2747s	right I see Fallon Pango Quest chain
2750s	hands down oh yeah the um the
2755s	parasite yeah that one that one's
2758s	fun
2760s	F but keep sharing I want I want to hear
2762s	from all of you every single one of you
2763s	if you're in the chat tell me what has
2766s	been something you've really enjoyed
2768s	something that has stood out to you and
2770s	you're just like man I just loved this
2772s	bit in ever Space 2 and I just wish
2773s	there was
2777s	more
2780s	no Ah that's going to hit me yeah all
2784s	right all
2785s	right
2787s	no I didn't say I didn't say this is a
2790s	request for more of what we're going to
2792s	add I'm legitimately just asking you
2794s	guys what you
2796s	enjoyed this is not a tell me what we're
2798s	going to add more into the game no no no
2800s	that's not how this works y'all are
2802s	jumping the gun on that front
2805s	woo but I it is good to hear that you
2807s	guys did enjoy the parasite chain we did
2809s	have a lot of fun uh putting that
2815s	together
2818s	let's try a different strategy
2821s	here please and thank
2825s	you all right working where's the
2827s	where's
2828s	the okay all right get under the ledge
2831s	thank you perfect one
2834s	more oh don't you dare Jeff don't you
2837s	dare Jeff
2839s	Jeff gosh dang it
2841s	Jeff Jeff Jeff's off the Christmas card
2845s	list you know Cole for him one job
2854s	Jeff let's dra oh my
2858s	goodness see Larry understood the
2860s	assignment maybe not all right
2863s	Larry all
2865s	right
2870s	jeez but I it's it's great to see how
2872s	many Chatters there are today like holy
2874s	cow my my entire
2876s	right side of my monitor is just full of
2880s	of chat it's it's wonderful thank you so
2883s	much for everybody participating in this
2885s	question this is great I see I see gang
2887s	wars in
2889s	there um where they're impersonating
2891s	them to start a conflict uh is that the
2894s	gang wars one oh yeah
2899s	okay yeah that's a oh he's on the
2902s	freaking I got too close that's my that
2903s	was my bad skill issue
2909s	you just kind of like being on your own
2911s	and exploring new places and finding new
2913s	ways to play the game dude seriously
2916s	that's where I get a lot of enjoyment I
2917s	just try not to do too much of that
2919s	during the streams cuz I know that
2920s	sometimes that can be a little bit uh
2923s	not fun to watch right like it's so much
2925s	better to experience for your own as
2927s	opposed to watch somebody try over and
2930s	over the same exact dang thing because
2933s	they keep
2934s	failing so uh we're going to give this
2936s	like a moment or two longer and if we
2938s	can't do this we're going to bounce to
2939s	the next thingk
2942s	goodness uh but yeah I I definitely feel
2945s	that and I definitely agree there's I I
2947s	have so much fun in uh just going around
2951s	and and just doing stuff and not really
2953s	even being bound to like a story Mission
2955s	or a side mission even just like doing
2957s	my own thing um like the um unknown
2962s	signals for example oh man I I really
2964s	enjoy just cruising to random places and
2967s	seeing what generated what challenge it
2970s	is and then accomplishing the tasks at
2972s	hand just feels good it's just fun all
2976s	right I need to I need to not go that
2978s	direction okay good awesome we keep
2981s	moving in that same
2984s	direction all right good no
2990s	okay
2994s	no no oh my gosh get away
2999s	from oh jeez we're on the opposite side
3002s	please
3003s	no we're so
3006s	close that was so dumb but we made it oh
3010s	my
3014s	gosh Ah that's what we're here for right
3017s	that's the content we're looking for I
3019s	could have kissed those I could have
3022s	just smucker up and plopped them right
3024s	on the forehead that was
3027s	ridiculous all
3034s	right oh see what you have to look
3036s	forward to you try this game and you
3039s	want to go after some of these little
3041s	side challenges sure you can you can fly
3044s	around and blow stuff up all the time
3047s	but look what else the game has to offer
3049s	we got these fun little challenges that
3052s	everyone can make fun of if you're doing
3054s	a live stream
3057s	oh gosh it's so
3060s	good oh
3062s	whoops the the wind caught the Drone and
3066s	pulled it all right there we
3070s	go all
3080s	right let's top off these
3084s	fools
3092s	should be more than enough just from our
3094s	legendary alone to handle
3097s	this yeah there we
3102s	go we are so close we need like half an
3105s	experience Point come on come
3108s	on give it to
3114s	me
3116s	of course they got their Shields
3121s	up yay oh and we got a legendary drop oh
3127s	that's actually really good for us we
3129s	seriously needed
3131s	something oh that's great we did get one
3135s	that's unfortunately not paired well
3136s	with the Sentinel um we got the sh
3141s	8495 from Matt buck one of our backers
3144s	thank you Matt Buck for your legendary
3146s	creation here um basically it removes
3149s	the shield itself but then gives you
3151s	ionized
3152s	carrus um and this thing is actually
3155s	super powerful um
3160s	man I
3162s	uh we can't use it on Sentinel though it
3164s	just just not it's not applicable for
3166s	this particular build and and the
3167s	features that the Sentinel has but uh
3171s	you know what we got the level that we
3172s	wanted so now I'm feeling a bit more
3174s	confident moving into to that uh Mission
3178s	which will probably still not end well
3179s	and that's fine we got to do it at least
3181s	once and then we can move into more
3183s	questions and also the retrospective
3186s	from the year I think that would be
3189s	fun so here we
3192s	go oh I missed the first person mode
3195s	question I will give a a
3198s	[Music]
3200s	demonstration absolutely give a
3202s	demonstration of
3204s	that
3207s	to
3210s	theology excellent Adam beautiful
3214s	[Music]
3215s	beautiful so this is the first person
3217s	mode um and it does take into account
3220s	all of the actual positioning of the
3222s	ship and everything in fact the cockpit
3225s	is rendered even when you are in third
3229s	person uh so like it's all actually here
3231s	it's it's all there and based on what
3233s	ship you are in and the the like the
3237s	modules that you're using you will see
3238s	them in kind with where they're at so
3241s	it's a pretty it's a pretty fun feature
3243s	um the way I'm looking around is by
3245s	holding the alt button but there we also
3247s	do have track IR support so uh your
3249s	camera would know that you're moving
3251s	your head and you could you know do the
3252s	whole thing like that um I guess I
3255s	should also mention we do not have and
3256s	will not be uh doing VR for the game
3259s	though um but yeah track IR support
3262s	holding the alt button you can get that
3263s	bit of additional immersion from that
3267s	point uh but yeah can swap your
3269s	viewpoint on the fly as well um and
3272s	there's the far away this is this is far
3276s	from your ship this is close to your
3278s	ship so you can see it's much much
3280s	closer kind of gets it out of the way of
3283s	combat a little bit more but does take
3284s	up more of the bottom of the screen
3286s	obviously first person with cockpit and
3287s	then first person
3291s	without like true descent mode right
3293s	here all right
3300s	all right look who's back look who's
3303s	back
3305s	skip quick restock give me those cruise
3308s	missiles
3315s	um what are explosions like in the
3317s	cockpit is that the follow-up question
3319s	is there a self-destruct button nope
3322s	well actually there is um if you press
3325s	Al F4
3327s	um completely wipes uh and you have to
3330s	reload your save by loading the game
3333s	back up that's the
3335s	uh oh and Bearded Frog also commented
3338s	the same but yes obviously being cheeky
3342s	so um let's see let's mark all is scene
3347s	um tidy up our inventory a little bit
3350s	here got to get a game plan on how we're
3352s	going to overcome this next challenge
3354s	cuz this this challenge is actually
3356s	doozy when you're underleveled on
3358s	freaking nightmare mode uh so let's see
3361s	what we can accomplish here corrosion
3364s	missiles are not actually a bad option
3366s	um we need to compare with
3368s	the EMP cuz that's not fair to compare
3372s	with these with the freaking cruise
3374s	missiles um but there's a I feel like
3377s	there's a good idea here so we can just
3378s	kind of Hit and
3380s	Run shamefully we have not purchased any
3383s	other ships like we are stuck with this
3384s	we can't change uh but thankfully we
3387s	also were able to uh navigate this
3390s	situation we Upon Our Own play testing
3393s	we recognized that if we triggered the
3395s	event from launching from your hanger
3397s	that it would suck greatly cuz then when
3400s	you reload your save from The Hanger
3402s	you're forced and locked into this
3404s	Mission chain we did not want to do that
3405s	so that is actually why when I launch
3408s	here the mission does not start it
3411s	requires us to do this very simple drag
3414s	and drop
3416s	thing which starts the mission
3418s	chain so um I
3423s	am yeah let's just let's try it let's
3425s	just try it once let's try it once let's
3428s	we'll see how bad it is spoiler alert we
3431s	are going to
3434s	die well let's embrace it let's embrace
3437s	the death embrace the
3439s	challenge all right I'm also going to
3442s	increase audio here a little bit cuz
3444s	it's this is fun watch this cut
3448s	scene this is
3450s	fun I need to place turrets oh shoot I
3452s	did I should have Place turrets killing
3454s	me damn they're here and they brought
3456s	the big
3458s	guns I have to take I like how all of
3460s	you are observing the things that I
3462s	should be doing as my big focus is just
3465s	making sure your comments are being read
3467s	and your questions are being answered
3469s	we're put into motion long before you
3470s	decided to interfere and we won't be
3473s	stopped prepare to pay the price for
3476s	your actions units shoot the external
3478s	defenses while we target the base woo
3482s	sir yes sir now this was a good Mission
3484s	hey great to hear that I also enjoyed
3487s	this one um I don't necessarily
3491s	know um the direct inspiration for this
3494s	Mission but
3497s	um I have I get some Star starf Fox
3500s	vibes from this like if you go back to
3503s	Star Fox 64 do you remember def uh I
3506s	think it's what is it called it's the Z
3508s	location it's like sector Z or something
3511s	where the great fox is in the middle and
3514s	then there's these massive missiles that
3515s	are coming at you and you're your task
3517s	with like fighting the enemy and then
3518s	bringing down the missiles like
3520s	basically on a timer those are the Vibes
3523s	that I get with this and I I love it and
3527s	the music oh my gosh hang on a second
3529s	I'm going to you know what we're going
3530s	to shut up and we're just going to let's
3533s	just Embrace this okay
3551s	is powered
3564s	up
3577s	turrets powered up how is everybody
3580s	these cows do not fight with honor this
3583s	is our advantage right
3588s	on scam you scrapping tools your
3591s	resistance is Spirited but your downfall
3594s	inevitable
3605s	mive projectiles were just fired from
3607s	the carrier those are mining
3610s	Torpedoes they could shatter this
3612s	asteroid to pieces I need to intercept
3614s	them
3624s	fast
3631s	I stay
3640s	it move move
3644s	[Music]
3645s	move all turrets powered
3654s	up
3656s	everyone okay I'm doing fantastic how
3659s	are you buddy well I suppose I've been
3662s	in more intense situation but I can't
3664s	think of it right now more Torpedoes
3666s	were just
3673s	fine you are only prolonging the outcome
3677s	you will soon be consigned to
3682s	history one of the turrets has run out
3684s	of energy you may want to consider me
3686s	Charing it don't get too close they will
3689s	blow you
3696s	up the big detail here is not holding
3699s	still because if you hold still just
3702s	like that all your Shields and armor
3703s	will evaporate just like they did for
3710s	me Torpedoes were just
3713s	fine
3721s	are you old enough IED
3730s	Miss I've had enough of this all Reserve
3733s	torped oh shoot

3745s	intercept as many of them as you can or
3747s	we won't withstand the combined impact
3750s	on
3762s	it several Torpedoes are incoming your
3766s	feeble defense is only an irritation
3768s	soon to be
3771s	removed

4007s	worse let's meet
4008s	inside goodness we have there there are
4011s	just these oh gosh it's it's hard for me
4014s	to compliment the game cuz obviously
4016s	like I I work
4019s	here gosh I love some of these little
4021s	moments that we have ah kind of a big
4023s	moment sure if we'd be able to survive
4025s	another assault like that I'm sorry Ben
4026s	it's my fault I let him through isible
4029s	my apologies people in the there was a
4031s	chat I was answering
4032s	questions we can get the Min on on our
4036s	easily there's a British person in my
4037s	ear it's what about this guy you sure
4041s	about him I want to know he's been mid
4043s	of mostly Alum I was I was going to say
4046s	he's probably fixing some aluminium
4047s	elements that were busted because of me
4049s	but you
4051s	know oh my
4056s	gosh guys if you are enjoying the
4058s	content by any stretch of the
4060s	imagination we do actually appreciate if
4062s	you thumbs up the video you like us you
4064s	follow us all that type of stuff we
4065s	don't do this to these streams for
4067s	monetary gain uh it's more just exposure
4071s	so that we are able to continue doing
4073s	what we do to serve you the community we
4075s	do these streams for you we do this to
4078s	answer questions to make sure that your
4080s	queries are getting responded to to make
4081s	sure that you know what's going on
4083s	through our development cycles and also
4085s	to have some fun I didn't exactly mean a
4087s	lot be here like of mine used to say
4090s	plans are for fools we're about as
4093s	random a group as the belt of greates
4094s	has to offer heck yeah we are all
4096s	different backgrounds all different
4098s	races some of us are outcasts some are
4101s	screw-ups some are lost with no way home
4103s	and some told they don't belong but we
4105s	all found our way to each other and we
4107s	all belong here we have this base thanks
4110s	to a man named Dax Bashar he died before
4114s	most of you arrived but he taught me a
4116s	lot about trust and esteem that's our
4119s	strength the respect we have for each
4121s	other because the enemy we're up against
4124s	has no regard for anything but profit
4127s	and power let's teach them a lesson and
4130s	make the DMZ a better place are you guys
4134s	in
4135s	H you know I'm totally behind you let's
4138s	KCK some g&b butt it is the righteous
4145s	thing
4148s	fun all right I think this is a good
4151s	pause moment um so that we can't answer
4153s	a slew of new questions that have been
4155s	coming in um and uh we might also take
4160s	this
4162s	moment Wise It's fine yeah we'll also
4165s	take this moment to whenever we're done
4166s	with the questions we're going to jump
4168s	over and do a little bit of a
4169s	retrospective of the year and how
4172s	Rockfish has uh really kind of come a
4174s	long way um not only because of our
4177s	incredible team of course but also
4180s	because of you because of your support
4182s	because of
4183s	your thoughts considerations concerns
4187s	all of that
4188s	stuff been one heck of a
4191s	year
4193s	has
4195s	important words are being shared it's F
4199s	excellent so let's go ahead and save our
4205s	game and uh let's uh let's start
4207s	answering some questions so Gary what do
4209s	you got for me and specifically um if
4212s	you could really quick see if there's
4214s	any questions that I could give a quick
4216s	demonstration in game to be able to
4218s	answer if you don't
4219s	mind
4222s	um I haven't got any that's specific uh
4226s	in game that you could show currently uh
4229s	although one question kind of does
4231s	relate to when we're holding the energy
4233s	spheres that you've just been doing in
4235s	the in the big battle there yeah um this
4237s	from thoric Theory over on Twitch uh
4241s	he's just wondering is there any way
4242s	that you can do to help with the
4243s	visibility when carrying an energy
4245s	sphere or an ancient room for example it
4247s	was the only truly frustrating
4249s	experience they had with playing the
4250s	whole game in first person perspective
4252s	wow that was the only thing wow that's
4255s	that um that's pretty crazy but also
4257s	pretty understandable um so uh so you
4260s	are aware it's not necessarily something
4261s	I can really show uh too much cuz I'm
4264s	not really near anything of that nature
4266s	but um what I can say is that this was a
4269s	topic that we had internally um during
4272s	early access and whenever we were going
4274s	through ways to help make it easier for
4276s	the player to understand what they're
4277s	looking at or where they need to go
4279s	using any type of ux at our disposal
4282s	whatsoever including but not limited to
4284s	uh various new iconographies and
4287s	highlighting objects orange I'm sure
4289s	you're familiar with that um we also
4292s	evaluated the state of holding on to
4294s	objects when you are looking directly
4296s	out of the ship um there was a lot of
4300s	different ideas as to what we could do
4304s	and all of them were incredibly heavy
4307s	when it came from a technical standpoint
4309s	because of the foundations that we'd
4311s	already set regarding many other
4314s	technical details that were coming
4316s	together at the time so had we redone
4320s	that entire process would have been
4323s	unfortunately a very long time to fix
4326s	just one element of the whole of the
4330s	game and when you're on a time crunch
4332s	well I shouldn't call it a crunch that's
4333s	a really bad word to use actually when
4336s	we have very specific deadlines that
4338s	we're trying to hit right we could not
4341s	deviate from those specific tasks that
4344s	we had to hit the promises that we made
4346s	that we had to ensure that the game was
4348s	going to be at the Quality that we
4350s	wanted it to be at and to also make sure
4352s	that we were taking care of the
4353s	community in the majority of those
4355s	requests and unfortunately that one did
4358s	have to get cataloged into it's not
4361s	going to have that much effect based on
4364s	the amount of energy that we'd have to
4365s	put into it and I'm really sorry to have
4367s	to vocalize that to you because you're
4369s	right it is a little bit of a
4370s	frustrating experience um and should we
4374s	have the means to crack that door open
4377s	um as we continue to work on everspace 2
4379s	it is technically known listed and
4383s	something we would like to do if we
4385s	should find that extra time to do it and
4388s	it's one of a lot of different things
4390s	that are kind of like that in the game
4392s	because there's so much to this so I do
4395s	appreciate your patience and
4397s	understanding as you played the entire
4399s	game through first person dealing with
4401s	that like wow that's amazing
4404s	um and I'm also glad to know that it's
4406s	more than possible to play the game like
4408s	that and still not have to deal with a
4412s	tremendous uh gameplay experience that
4415s	fails right like it's they still very
4417s	succeed um but yeah it's definitely one
4420s	of those things where I think everybody
4422s	wishes like the team and in the
4424s	community wishes could be tweaked a
4425s	little bit further uh it comes down to a
4428s	lot of those technical details um so yep
4432s	one of those things
4434s	all those things
4440s	unfortunately YouTube again sling Teton
4443s	uh would like to know ever space one had
4446s	one expansion pack um has there been any
4449s	consideration for being more than one
4451s	for ever Space 2 yeah there's been
4453s	consideration yeah I mean we we want to
4456s	we want to do you know what we can to
4458s	everspace 2 but um regarding what those
4461s	plans are going to look like because we
4463s	haven't locked anything in place on that
4464s	front um we'll make those announcements
4467s	when we get there cuz right now I mean
4469s	what we've communicated is what we're
4471s	doing so what is around the corner is a
4473s	free update this next year and then we
4475s	have DLC premium DLC planned for
4479s	indiv territory okay so uh should more
4484s	show up into that picture we'll let you
4487s	know maybe it will maybe it won't we'll
4490s	play it out together all right good
4492s	question though
4494s	next question wizard Jerry uh over on
4497s	YouTube would like to know is there a
4499s	particular location you like the most in
4502s	the
4506s	DMZ particular location I like the most
4511s	man you know there's a number of
4513s	locations that I think Tony did just a
4514s	fantastic job
4517s	delivering a visual just beautiful
4521s	experience to to behold um let me uh let
4524s	me go back go to the map really quick
4526s	and just kind of evaluate and maybe pick
4530s	out a
4531s	couple I think the Kay nebula um aor one
4536s	with how rich the biology life is and
4540s	how detailed the environment actually
4542s	became um that's one that I really enjoy
4546s	it's uh there's a lot of Secrets there I
4548s	mean you can even see on screen I've got
4550s	9% and I like I barely touched anything
4552s	but it is so different from a lot of
4557s	what the rest of the game is it just
4558s	feels like you're into this new world
4561s	and exploring something uh you know
4565s	that's truly unique I love the way that
4567s	that one does come together um I think
4569s	Kos orbit is an easy one like it's it's
4572s	you know you're also getting to see
4573s	something pretty new there um regarding
4576s	the vortex um I'm actually a big fan of
4579s	just like the outlaw stronghold in this
4580s	massive base in the middle of this
4582s	asteroid field um with various little
4585s	floating bits surrounding it div AAS
4589s	orbit the Sky Box is pretty um let's see
4592s	a couple other highlights I mean I think
4594s	Prescott is incredibly noteworthy I
4596s	think a lot of people are going to like
4598s	they remember Prescott because of how
4600s	detailed it is because how much stuff to
4601s	do there um so it's it's got to get a a
4604s	unique sort of mention in all of this uh
4607s	but I am also a fan of Noah dear
4609s	starport I think that it's the the scope
4611s	of this just makes me very pleased um
4615s	it's a lot of fun first time that you go
4617s	to cus Downs is also really cool too
4620s	Going Underground and exploring those
4623s	bits uh Drake I think has a couple of
4626s	really good points but I'm a big fan of
4628s	letho starport as a whole um I think
4631s	that both um Mota and Gilbert are
4636s	fantastic locations right because you
4639s	get this very rich impactful environment
4642s	that you have to navigate around too um
4645s	so Gilbert naal base as well as Gilbert
4647s	shelf um the motor Rift and the alpad
4650s	Draco thermal plant all all four of
4652s	those locations are just so pleasing to
4654s	the eye the final location um I also
4658s	think is uh very visually pleasing and
4662s	then Keon um I do like the way that the
4665s	vapor Cloud um looks and feels and going
4669s	through those challenges but honestly my
4671s	heart goes to uh the one with with the
4673s	research station over here next to zthis
4676s	um I think it's this
4678s	one the lighting in this area is just
4683s	chef's kiss like I love how it comes
4685s	together um you just like fly by that
4688s	station and the lights just hitting it
4689s	and you're seeing like all these
4690s	asteroids and and it's like shrouded in
4693s	this sort of like gas gaseous area yeah
4697s	I I could speak I could speak on areas
4700s	that I love for a very long time cuz
4701s	like even when I said that then I'm
4703s	going back I'm like man but also zarov
4705s	border patrol like am I right like
4706s	goodness gravy that
4708s	one's it was too good of a question I'm
4711s	going to cut myself off let's get some
4712s	more questions accomplished but the
4714s	short of it is there's a lot of
4716s	favorites I I think that Tony and the
4718s	rest of the team has truly brought
4720s	together some impressive uh
4725s	areas cool right uh I've got a question
4728s	again on YouTube YouTuber flying in with
4730s	a questions tonight twitch they're
4732s	putting you to shame
4735s	gxl over on YouTube I would like to know
4738s	what made you originally decide to
4740s	deviate so heavily from the everspace
4743s	one style with the Rogue light uh and he
4745s	how did the scope idea of everspace 2
4748s	come to be yeah no I think I think
4750s	that's actually a really uh really
4752s	beautiful question to ask and um the
4754s	answer is is relatively simple
4756s	surprisingly simple and it's that
4760s	everspace 2 is much more in line with
4763s	the vision of the game we wanted to make
4766s	when Rockfish games was
4768s	established there's a long story as to
4771s	why it didn't happen first though um
4773s	mainly because there was literally no
4776s	funding at all to make a game um and
4780s	there was a very limited team um the
4783s	start of Rockfish was around 8 to 10
4785s	individuals um and Michael poured his
4788s	own money into the company in order to
4791s	establish anything at all from that
4793s	point it was kickstarted uh by many
4795s	supportive backers like yourselves
4797s	giving us the ability to make everspace
4799s	possible at
4800s	all and that moved us into um the
4806s	territory of the franchise where we
4808s	wanted to make this like sort of nice
4810s	arcadey poppy experience that could be
4813s	played over and over again so Rog likee
4814s	fit the formula where we could also
4816s	reuse assets save some money since we
4818s	didn't have a lot right um and build
4820s	ourselves up strengthen um our forces
4823s	there because we are these veterans are
4827s	coming together in this industry like
4829s	doing powerful things on the PC and
4831s	console side having left the mobile
4834s	industry so we had all these tricks and
4836s	tools of the trade to bring forward to
4838s	heavily optimize some beautiful looking
4840s	ships um and that was the starting point
4842s	of everspace 1 and from there the the
4845s	the success of everspace 1 uh moved it
4848s	into this territory of now we can pursue
4851s	this massive Vision Michael's vision of
4855s	having a an open world space game where
4858s	you can pick your ship you can customize
4860s	it you can fly out wherever you want you
4862s	can have these Space Battles you can do
4864s	jobs you can do some commodity trading
4866s	you've got this uh narrative design
4869s	that's going to guide you through a lot
4871s	of different things so if you're a story
4872s	person you're going to be able to do
4874s	that if you're a completionist we're
4875s	going to have lots of stuff to do
4876s	scattered all over the place uh and then
4879s	if you like customization and
4882s	itemization and you know making things
4884s	your own a lot of emphasis on this
4886s	territory as well so really big answer
4889s	for you from such a simple question even
4891s	though I said the answer was relatively
4892s	simple there's just a lot of details
4894s	there so uh but yeah that's that's the
4897s	long and the short of it I suppose so
4899s	good
4900s	stuff right answer uh sticking with
4904s	YouTube uh J panoti would like to know
4907s	how high does the credit counter
4912s	go
4915s	is Andy in the chat by
4917s	chance I don't know I I don't have a
4920s	clue I do not have a
4922s	clue um I don't know if there would be
4925s	any sort of limitation cuz I mean this
4927s	is built out in Unreal Engine
4929s	4 and yeah I I don't know the technical
4932s	side of
4933s	that the answer is hi yes that's that's
4936s	a good response Flor the answer is
4939s	hi it is more than
4942s	zero
4944s	but yeah uh what else we got what's
4946s	another question right we've got one
4948s	from user new user called Daniel over on
4951s	YouTube now I've had to translate this
4953s	one from German so I do apologize if
4955s	this translation is a little bit wonky
4958s	um they said that it's if it's a great
4959s	game and they would love some more DLC
4962s	and let the quality of life continue to
4964s	take care of the the game uh they do
4966s	feel like the HDR function is
4969s	particularly just a gimmick and it's not
4970s	recommended to switch on um are we
4973s	looking to see like HDR obviously it's
4976s	experimental Etc but right is it just
4978s	going to stay that way yeah and we made
4980s	a statement on it too um so maybe
4982s	Michael could even find the statement
4983s	and Link it to you but uh the the short
4985s	of it is that HDR is uh experimen of in
4989s	uh Unreal Engine 4 and it it yeah it
4993s	doesn't go beyond that it is not
4994s	complete it does not have everything
4996s	panned out in the way that a developer
4998s	uh really needs it to be um and we've
5001s	done what we can with it and then we had
5003s	to make some decisions of uh where we
5005s	had to move forward with it and it was
5007s	not worth the time and energy to pursue
5010s	that route uh if we're going to do
5012s	something we do want to do it well and
5014s	it's not something that we could do well
5016s	so that's kind of hopefully the short of
5018s	it um Michael might have an additional
5021s	de uh Diddy on that um but uh overall
5024s	yeah that's going to be uh that's going
5028s	to be it so yep uh let's do one more
5031s	question and I'm going to pan over to do
5032s	a little bit bit of a
5033s	retrospective okay okay um I know this
5036s	one's been kind of answered a little bit
5037s	earlier but I think SWAT B2 over on
5040s	YouTube joined after we' obviously
5042s	answered it uh but last a question
5044s	anyway is there any chance that you guys
5045s	could bring back the natural hazards
5047s	from the first game like the darkness
5048s	black pole stuff like that uh because
5050s	they really enjoyed the random element
5052s	of that first in the first game yeah I
5054s	mean it's it's definitely like I I love
5056s	that question I think it's a it's a good
5057s	question and there's clearly a desire
5059s	for that um we've seen that question
5061s	come up you know here and there from the
5063s	community um at varying intervals and
5065s	you know through the Early Access phase
5068s	there were a lot of reasons why we
5069s	didn't want to pursue those directions
5071s	with having specific handcrafted
5074s	locations that you're traveling back and
5076s	forth to um creating sort of like random
5079s	environmental hazards in that process
5081s	means that they are no longer random
5083s	they have to be very intentionally
5085s	placed and while we could do that that's
5087s	opening up a pathway to even more errors
5090s	concerns technical challenges limit
5092s	limitations of this overarching Vision
5094s	that we have and that is ultimately why
5097s	we opted to navigate around that and
5099s	instead focus on proper and uh
5102s	streamlined level design that's bringing
5104s	you through uh these you know fairly
5107s	Rich environments I would say over 100
5110s	handcrafted
5112s	locations um and uh through that there's
5115s	a lot of challenges to be had just from
5117s	a navigation side and if uh you need a
5120s	reference point just go back to the
5121s	beginning of the Stream
5123s	um so yeah it's a kind of a big answer
5127s	there as well um these are great
5129s	questions thank you so much you guys are
5131s	you guys are all kind of awesome today
5133s	it's a beautiful way to close out the
5134s	year with you all it's really good and
5136s	speaking of the Year let's go ahead and
5138s	uh take a quick break I'm going to pull
5140s	up some uh notes uh and we'll be able to
5143s	follow along actually so if you're
5145s	interested in seeing what I'm seeing I'm
5146s	going to give you some links uh well
5148s	maybe not links I'll just tell you where
5149s	you can technically go cuz it's not that
5151s	hard
5153s	um and then we're going to we're going
5154s	to just talk about some stuff and uh
5156s	yeah it'll be good it'll be
5164s	good and here we are really what didn't
5167s	take that long at all didn't even take
5169s	that long at all so if you want to
5170s	follow along um I'm actually inside of
5173s	steam the announcements you can scroll
5177s	all the heck down to when everspace 2
5179s	was released information the release
5182s	information
5183s	uh was released on January 30th this was
5186s	the first messaging that we had uh for
5190s	everspace 2 uh this
5193s	year and I'm not going to play like all
5195s	the videos and stuff
5198s	um but wow if you guys don't remember
5201s	this teaser um it was so short and
5205s	barely revealing of anything and then we
5207s	start getting into these details of the
5211s	1.0 release date announcement with Keon
5215s	as the Highlight we had the release date
5217s	reveal and the story trailer we had the
5220s	Visions price changes like there was so
5223s	much that came with just ironing out the
5227s	details of 1.0 there was so much of the
5231s	game that hadn't even
5233s	been
5235s	teased that when we ended early access
5238s	and jumped into 1.0 the the game was
5241s	just transformed
5243s	and I think a lot of you actually a lot
5245s	of those in the chat uh can probably uh
5249s	relive that experience as I'm kind of
5250s	like scrolling through this and like oh
5252s	man I remember whenever we were hearing
5253s	about these things and they were so
5254s	curious and it was so interested and
5256s	just like and how it just moved forward
5259s	so fast oh my gosh I remember like we
5262s	had this release date announcement and
5265s	then in the studio we're just like
5266s	frantically putting things together like
5268s	okay what has to be done what has to
5271s	what's what what is no longer like on
5274s	the table we push everything off the
5275s	table like is this finished no no get it
5278s	finished is this finished yes next is
5280s	this finished and it was just oh my gosh
5283s	it was it was crazy it was crazy and I
5287s	remember you know about the save game
5289s	wipe and there was a little bit of
5291s	controversy around it I suppose uh you
5294s	know the Linux and Mac support you know
5296s	and everything that's happened from that
5298s	um lots of of hard decisions being made
5302s	just the start of the Year this the
5304s	beginning of this year already and then
5307s	you see this huge this is just what
5310s	these are all the bug
5312s	fixes these are all the tweaks these are
5316s	all the features that were implemented
5319s	between Early Access to look at this
5322s	nonsense what Hans Christian I'm so
5326s	sorry but you did a great job powering
5329s	through so many of those bugs like
5331s	insane
5334s	absolutely insane and lots of details of
5337s	you know potentially what's to come too
5339s	that and just gosh so much news just
5342s	shared in such a short amount of time we
5344s	were been talking about what comes next
5346s	all the way back at the beginning of the
5347s	year and you know what now we're here
5349s	now we're here like look just all of
5351s	these incredible things and systems and
5353s	like even going back look this a it's
5356s	literally called looking back oh whoops
5358s	um literally called looking back from
5360s	the kickstarter um um in watching the
5364s	very initial Kickstarter video which I
5366s	think I want to do I can't believe I
5368s	collected it to lose that I'm so sorry
5370s	um let's just let's watch this let's
5372s	let's watch this together
5380s	[Laughter]
5383s	um maybe not blow our ears out
5390s	though uh no sound a
5393s	a now I I could have sworn I set this up
5395s	correctly whenever I prepped the stream
5398s	ah well all right well if there's no
5399s	sound no big deal uh basically uh
5402s	Michael you look great man goodness
5404s	gravy um talking about everspace 2 and
5407s	the project thereof bringing things
5409s	together close captions available we
5411s	could do that jumping ahead we got like
5414s	we got Kevin here uh talking on the
5417s	front of like our beautiful missions and
5419s	the world that you're going to be
5420s	invested in and then these crazy like
5422s	quences and and then Casper where
5425s	where's Casper Casper where are you at
5427s	look at this guy look at this man this
5429s	project manager now C producer senior

5435s	latest information on what unreal and4
5437s	had to offer we're going through all
5439s	these details um and just this still of
5443s	a screenshot I mean you can even still
5446s	see how much has changed from a single
5449s	shot from so long ago is crazy like the
5453s	night and day difference absolutely
5457s	absurd absolutely absurd oh I just saw
5460s	hunt Christian say I also did a good job
5462s	of putting the bugs in in the first
5464s	place oh my gosh look it's it is well
5467s	known that for every bug that is
5469s	squashed five new bugs emerge that's H
5473s	the process oh my gosh uh words spoken
5477s	by this guy uh look at The Hanger even
5481s	jeez
5483s	oh my gosh how far things have
5486s	come
5488s	crazy crazy to think about I am so sorry
5491s	that's not an attractive photo of you UA
5493s	you deserve better than that there we go
5495s	that's much better UA creative
5498s	director helped iron out uh and guide a
5501s	lot of the narrative uh design process
5504s	uh building out the world a lot of the
5506s	lore oh my gosh so many details and then
5510s	this was memed I think uh by some
5512s	community members as well um if I'm not
5515s	mistaken and this was also this was the
5517s	first reveal too this little snippet
5520s	right down here in the
5521s	end this was the first reveal of any
5525s	land oriented territories that could
5527s	also be uh ventured to um nobody knew
5531s	that we were going to be going Planet
5533s	side at all and and you know it's crazy
5536s	crazy how we were bringing all this
5537s	together just from a freaking YouTube
5540s	video super cool
5543s	super stinking
5546s	cool um we have the PC launch Trail here
5549s	don't worry we're not going to watch all
5550s	the
5551s	videos and yet even still like after we
5554s	got through these I'm going to call them
5558s	hurdles to bring this all together we're
5561s	slapping things down with tweaks and Bug
5564s	fixes just like moments like just
5567s	literally moments uh bringing things
5570s	together this was April 18th this is
5572s	just a couple of weeks after full
5574s	release and look at the stinking list
5576s	that is not a small list and we're
5579s	talking about the impr progress stuff
5580s	and the more that we're doing and the
5582s	freaking bringing everything to Game
5584s	Pass accordingly for a parody and the
5586s	legendaries and the ancient Rifts and
5589s	it's insane absolutely
5592s	nuts and as we progress through um as we
5596s	progressed through the year I mean we
5598s	had we had various events too um for
5601s	example we
5602s	had um GDC I'm going to sneak Lee over
5607s	here say hi Lee um this is Lee this is
5609s	over in GDC where we had uh a little
5612s	booth to share uh in the little maen
5616s	Germany section while Michael was
5619s	greasing some Palms behind the scenes
5621s	uhhuh good stuff uh solid solid material
5626s	um going all the way back there we had
5628s	PAX East as well um uh here's a great
5632s	shot of Gary honestly look at that look
5634s	at this man look at that joy we need to
5637s	celebrate this this is beautiful what a
5640s	great CH after a very long first day if
5643s	I remember correctly oh yeah goodness
5645s	gravy this this this gives you some
5647s	sense of my height I know a lot of you
5648s	guys might not understand what uh 6'9
5651s	means uh uh cuz I don't know the true
5654s	conversion that is into meters um but I
5657s	am I am a large man uh and we had a
5659s	great booth and we had so much fun this
5661s	is this is Roy right here he goes by the
5664s	handle 31 Fox definitely helped us out a
5666s	ton as well uh bringing everything
5669s	together but we had such a large Booth
5671s	um I'm doing quick maths right now 12 we
5675s	had 12 slots and we had this really cool
5679s	uh location which I don't think I
5681s	included the photo shame on me now um
5683s	but we had this really cool location
5685s	where when you were actually entering
5687s	into packs you could see the everspace 2
5689s	Banner like it was awesome so so good so
5693s	good and this was this was a fresh new
5696s	Banner
5698s	too so there's a lot of excitement on
5702s	that lots of
5704s	excitement um and then we kept you know
5706s	moving forward through uh the year more
5709s	things happened lots more bugs uh
5711s	squashed and created I
5715s	suppose um and we started getting into a
5719s	lot of the details that we recognized
5722s	were needed into the experience based on
5725s	your community feedback like a lot of a
5728s	lot of this material a lot of these bug
5730s	fixes and tweaks well mainly tweaks bug
5732s	fixes were just kind of necessary but a
5734s	lot of the tweaks um we were actively
5737s	receiving you and a lot of these figures
5740s	and these these changes that you're
5742s	seeing on screen it's because of
5744s	you it is because of you and how we got
5748s	everspace to the point that it needed to
5750s	be this is insane this the these are not
5753s	short lists okay the the tiny text on a
5757s	screen um that that is covering so much
5761s	content that we were continually
5764s	adjusting tweaking changing to everspace

5856s	update a lot of this content like we had
5859s	a lot of powerful suggestions internally
5862s	and from you guys a lot so many to bring

5870s	package to deliver and we were able to
5872s	get it out the door both for PC uh
5876s	players as well as the console audience
5878s	and a fairly timely
5880s	manner you

6663s	just a natural just calming agent it is
6667s	nuts this guy is brilliant um and
6670s	there's a lot of credit to give him um
6672s	on the front of bringing all of the
6674s	various uh development processes
6677s	together uh according to the vision that
6680s	that's a lot of the team put together
6682s	you know obviously directed by Michael
6685s	um and goodness gravy what a team what a
6691s	team that these those were all photos
6694s	from the backer party um I do have a
6696s	couple more photos to share I still
6697s	don't know why that was in uh White
6699s	sorry about that um I did ask the team
6701s	to share me just a couple other photos
6703s	if they could and this one I believe was
6705s	shared from Marco um if Marco's in the
6708s	chat I would love to know a little bit
6709s	more I'm assuming this is his cat it's
6713s	just an assumption I'm assuming I maybe
6716s	it's yeah I I don't know I don't know if
6717s	this is his home I don't know if this is
6719s	in the office you know but regardless I
6721s	think it's a great shot I think it's
6723s	awesome I think it's really good um and
6726s	of course there's a lot of stuff on the
6727s	screens in the background so I'm fully
6729s	expecting you all to like zoom in and
6731s	figure out what are all the details
6734s	sorry I already scrubbed it um but uh
6736s	just what what a great way to work
6739s	honestly I love it
6740s	I love the way it comes together uh this
6742s	shot actually has a great importance to
6746s	me um oh yeah yeah this this was so good
6750s	um uh over here this is Hans Christian's
6753s	family um actually wait I don't see okay
6757s	well this is this is his girlfriend at
6759s	least um then obviously you've got Hans
6761s	Christian you have Andy uh you have
6763s	Emily uh which I don't actually think I
6765s	use that word uh that name um so
6768s	hopefully that's fine to use Gary uh
6772s	okay cool that's Emily that's Gary's
6774s	wife that's Gary and then there's that
6777s	weird guy over there who keeps showing
6778s	up um and this was a way that we were
6781s	topping off uh a lot of the adventures
6783s	that we had over in Hamburg um after the
6786s	backer party um and seriously every
6789s	single individual at this table is so
6792s	important to Bringing to light the
6796s	entire experience of Rockfish uh from a
6798s	level of just being there for
6801s	you and I think that's really the beauty
6804s	that we offer here at Rockfish games is
6806s	that we're not just operating like some
6809s	ragle Tagle team but we're rather we're
6813s	we're operating like a family unit like
6815s	we've got each other's backs if there's
6817s	a struggle like we're there for each
6819s	other like if like we're going to make
6820s	fun of each other too and you know like
6822s	the the rough Parts I fully expect some
6824s	team members to talk about how I
6825s	couldn't remember how to navigate around
6827s	that tunnel in the beginning of the
6828s	stream like this is the things that that
6830s	we do um it's it's incredible these are
6834s	the people that you are supporting when
6838s	you are diving into conversations with
6840s	us when you are playing our game when
6841s	you are supporting our game um yeah so
6846s	good um this is a photo of somebody I'm
6849s	not going to mention I forgot that I had
6850s	this one in sorry uh but I just thought
6852s	it was nice with the wall in the
6853s	background and me sitting I guess uh
6855s	we'll just move on it's fine uh last but
6857s	not least uh yeah I don't know if I
6859s	mentioned this but I love this man I
6861s	love this man Casper oh he's so good
6863s	just a nice little uh conclusion to uh
6866s	the the photos so yeah that's that's
6869s	really a pretty massive retrospective I
6873s	I pulled so much more to show and we
6875s	just don't have time for it guys um but
6877s	like there are so many moments from the
6879s	streams for example that uh happened
6882s	that were just so much fun they were
6884s	brilliant they were hilarious they were
6886s	embarrassing for me uh but who cares uh

1341s	worry you and I have the same goal here
1344s	but first we need to find a military
1345s	override to get past the jump gate you
1348s	got a plan for that actually we might
1351s	Adam have you ever heard of Theo
1354s	ghosto
1356s	ghost it's a graveyard of old war wrecks
1359s	hidden by those Blood star idiots it's a
1362s	treasure Trove of scrapped military Tech
1364s	bunker casings Cruiser engines sounds
1366s	like a place we need to head
1368s	to exactly problem is it's hidden by
1372s	distractor Tech so no one ever found it
1375s	so more bean bags no that's not out
1378s	Outlaw style they're more like fortified
1380s	bases that'll make it but a hell a lot
1384s	tougher to take down where do I start
1386s	looking in the Deep Fields I already
1389s	uploaded some cords to your map he's
1390s	handy as D he knows all the places down
1393s	the ghost Fleet will make it grand
1394s	entrance and present us with our ticket
1396s	out of cedo well I do beted frog I
1399s	definitely do enjoy the dialog some data
1401s	on my patient while you free agents get
1405s	busy raiding bases we're really not boss
1409s	and I really don't care we're good as
1412s	long as you uphold your under the
1414s	bargain there we go yeah de is a
1417s	brilliant character obviously once you
1418s	acquire the companions then you can now
1421s	go into your perks and you can see that
1422s	she gives us some options with
1425s	regards certain perks that she'll give
1427s	you if you can obviously give her the
1428s	required uh items such as for energy
1432s	orbs Flawless aium credits and supergel
1434s	which kind of just hidden behind me here
1436s	but um they will help in collection
1438s	initially of destroying ships will set
1440s	free some energy OBS all these things
1442s	are very very handy so don't discount
1444s	them do keep an eye on them uh either
1446s	like tractor beam range Etc can be very
1450s	very beneficial for your playthrough so
1452s	uh yeah don't uh don't ever forget about
1455s	your companions uh We've unlocked some
1457s	blueprints as well craft anything just
1460s	yet so I think we'll just uh we'll just
1462s	crack on we'll get we'll get out there
1464s	and go find some things keep those
1466s	questions coming in uh another 5 minutes
1468s	of and then we shall uh dive into some
1473s	questions sure we've got a few we've
1475s	mentioned in the whole um unre engine
1478s	five
1479s	upgrade we've got tons it's great and uh
1483s	I am cataloging multiple questions that
1486s	have been asked uh multiple times rather
1488s	I should say um so I'll read off
1491s	everybody who asked a similar question
1493s	when we we're getting through that too
1495s	so lots of
1497s	fun includes not revealing to her that
1499s	you're a clone I know by now you're just
1502s	a regular dude n but there's a lot of
1504s	resentment against clones in the
1505s	colonies you don't have to remind me not
1508s	even Ben knows better keep it that way
1511s	Ben knows oh
1513s	[Music]
1522s	no let's have a little look see at the
1524s	distress Co shall we oh we what could go
1527s	possibly wrong going into random
1528s	distress
1530s	call nothing I'm
1535s	sure can you help me fix the damage to
1537s	my craft I'll take a
1539s	look okay you're way over there that's
1542s	fine that's cool get away with this one
1545s	we might just get away now it is very
1547s	tempting freelance feta stuck in the
1549s	middle of
1553s	nowhere it's just a saying you might not
1556s	want to transfer the item you know but
1557s	you know you might not want to help them
1560s	anyway I can thank you just pass it on
1563s	maybe we can make the DMZ a better place
1566s	indeed maybe we
1569s	can yes there is a a slightly dubious
1572s	option that we could have done that but
1574s	we didn't we did yeah I know I know what
1577s	you mean they bed frog it's
1579s	um those frers those pesky frayers that
1583s	killed me the last play through
1587s	yeah
1590s	aming now people remember when you
1598s	die here we are into undiscovered site
1609s	one siren SE very
1612s	murky so much fog it'll be hard to find
1616s	a base in This MC
1618s	okay The Duchess is there as well for
1620s	the beacon okay so let's get rid of
1623s	these cuz otherwise I will probably wall
1627s	straight into
1629s	them they also do give you a decent hint
1632s	as well if you're ever looking for
1633s	anything just have a little look see
1635s	around and just go why would there be
1637s	some mines there oh there is a little
1640s	hint there let's have a little Lo
1643s	bulletproof
1644s	container grab some debris pump that out
1646s	of the way yep
1648s	there we go boink
1652s	there let's open so the annihilator
1655s	virus nice device and a main frame
1658s	component as well should look at
1668s	that okay there's a beacon bleeping over
1671s	there so let's head
1675s	there again visual hint okay they okay
1681s	they're range that's
1685s	cool so they are level six we are level
1688s	four so this could get
1691s	tasty we are going to need to take out
1693s	the drones first cuz we don't want
1702s	boy is
1706s	his
1716s	can do this oh the Viper came in as well
1720s	typical oo
1726s	hello what I really didn't want is
1728s	anything else to join the party but we
1730s	shall
1735s	see my aim appears to be way
1739s	off probably going to die that
1747s	yes we died to the Drone well that
1750s	actually means we've got a very good
1752s	point to stop and answer some
1754s	questions absolutely and we've got a lot
1757s	of really good questions um so I think
1760s	that we should just crack right into it
1763s	um excellent the very first question uh
1767s	comes from a number of individuals comes
1769s	from late volley on Twitch from Wolfie
1771s	harll on Twitch from GT on YouTube and
1775s	uh GT Again on YouTube in two different
1778s	capacities um the question is and
1781s	surrounding um what benefits will we see
1785s	through the migration to Unreal five
1789s	that are either exciting um or
1792s	appreciated or
1795s	otherwise right okay um as think with
1799s	regards um what people are expecting
1801s	from our migration to real Engine 5 uh I
1804s	think it's something we need to kind of
1806s	lay out and we did in the blog uh quite
1808s	significantly I know Lee uh wrote a
1810s	fantastic blog uh post up on Steam uh
1814s	the reason the main reason that we're
1815s	doing the whole um upgrade to un real
1817s	Engine 5 is simply for maintainability
1821s	um we know that un real Engine 4 that
1822s	we're currently on isn't supported any
1825s	longer we're you know any issues that we
1827s	have with have to find Works Etc so in
1830s	the time that we have between um uh
1834s	armed and dangerous which obviously was
1836s	our previous free update and incursions
1838s	which is going to be our next free
1839s	update sometime in the spring of this
1841s	year then we're going to be um we've got
1844s	given the time uh to do the transition
1847s	um we're hoping to support EV Space 2
1850s	for a long long time um it's something
1852s	that the team are very keen to do um the
1855s	tools that are available within real
1856s	Engine 5 um we need to investigate them
1859s	we need to look at everything that they
1861s	can give us that we can bring them to
1863s	the game and that takes time when you
1865s	working in a certain engine for any
1867s	length of time and the team have been
1868s	working with Unreal Engine 4 for a long
1869s	time they know it very very well but
1871s	Unreal Engine 5 even though it's the
1873s	same company it's made by epic there's a
1876s	lot of nuances to it and the team have
1877s	to learn those so for the maintained
1881s	ability being able to support our
1883s	product for a lot lot longer we want to
1886s	be able to be on the most prominent and
1888s	current engine which is onreal Engine 5
1891s	now I know a lot of people are looking
1893s	at certain features that can come with
1895s	Onre Engine 5 there's a lot of talk of
1898s	lumen which is the lighting and then
1899s	nanite which is to do with the whole uh
1903s	surface and terrain Etc the team are
1906s	going to look at all those things uh
1908s	whether they can be utilized uh better
1911s	than what we've already got implemented
1912s	but again it's no promise that those are
1914s	going to come um it's something that the
1916s	team are very very mindful that if they
1918s	don't give a better option um in terms
1920s	of performance then we're not going to
1921s	use them if they do then possibly we'd
1924s	have to look at it um but overall the we
1927s	we do see the the update to un real
1929s	Engine 5 is a massive step in a Forward
1932s	Thinking Direction because not only for
1934s	over Space 2 but anything beyond that uh
1936s	but just overall just to hammer home the
1939s	point for everyone it is about
1941s	maintainability and a maintenance
1943s	upgrade for the engine and the game so
1947s	if we can bring good things to uh to the
1949s	table then we will but again there's
1951s	there's no promises on that
1954s	score fantastic response and to add just
1957s	a little bit more to it um there is a
1960s	question from De camper X which was
1962s	wondering if there was going to be a
1964s	difference that was noticed once we move
1966s	over to Unreal Engine 5 and much as
1968s	you've answered the question quite uh
1971s	directly there um even though there are
1974s	opportunities that we may or may not
1977s	take
1978s	um it's pretty clear that we want to be
1981s	keeping the game very similar to if not
1984s	exactly to where it was at from Unreal
1987s	Engine 4 as we move into Unreal Engine 5
1991s	if we are taking any of those directions
1993s	just reiterating what Gary said here a
1995s	little bit if we're taking any of those
1997s	directions it is to be for your benefit
2001s	okay we don't want to go super crazy
2004s	with all this experimental stuff that we
2006s	have opportunity with this is for
2009s	maintaining the game and making it the
2012s	best experience it can possibly be while
2014s	also still being serviced
2017s	accordingly absolutely yes
2020s	indeed so the next questions coming
2023s	around are focused around uh what it
2026s	looks like once Unreal Engine 5 is going
2029s	to get into the hands of the players so
2031s	sline tutson asks will this require a
2033s	full download of the game with the
2035s	spring update
2039s	hopefully um it won't require much of a
2042s	difference um we'll have more news on
2046s	what that's going to look like uh as
2048s	soon as we get closer to that time of
2050s	delivery to you boys and girls now
2052s	obviously we work on the dev build that
2054s	gets updated uh quite regular um but
2057s	that's obviously a separate build
2059s	hopefully uh the team will be able to
2061s	tell us more of that towards the like I
2063s	said the release because we won't want
2065s	to say no you won't need to update
2067s	massively or not you will we don't have
2069s	those technical details to hand as yet
2071s	but as always as soon as we know then we
2074s	will let you know because you know we
2075s	want to get the information in your
2076s	hands because then you're informed and
2078s	then you're aware if we held it back and
2080s	all of a sudden you've got a you know 30
2082s	gig download to do you'd be like oh why
2084s	didn't you tell us this was going to
2085s	happen because we are aware that some
2086s	people are on slower connections maybe
2088s	have any kind of limits to their monthly
2090s	downloads so we we'll see we as soon as
2093s	we let it know then you know we we'll do
2095s	uh in due course
2099s	great
2100s	response next question also kind of on a
2103s	similar level comes from desra on Twitch
2106s	it's grind 887 on YouTube turtle on
2109s	Twitch and sine tson again from YouTube
2111s	asking about what about the system
2114s	requirements is this going to change is
2116s	it going to be like wildly
2119s	different hopefully not that's that's
2122s	the aim for the team um again we've got
2125s	extensive testing to be done done um we
2128s	want to basically keep the game as
2130s	similar in terms of performance as it is
2132s	now if we can improve it that's even
2134s	better you know because that's the game
2136s	as well um but we just don't know yet
2138s	we're in the very very early stages of
2141s	um the work on the game in terms of the
2144s	update so fingers crossed uh it will be
2148s	the same um but again it's one of those
2151s	things that we have uh more information
2153s	closer to the release again hopefully
2155s	sometime later uh in the spring of this
2158s	year so yes we've just got to wait and
2159s	see we we should let you know we should
2161s	let you
2163s	know good good great to hear that we'll
2166s	have more information to share once we
2168s	have more information to share so good
2172s	all right so a couple of uh more unique
2175s	questions which I appreciate we've got
2177s	one from late volley on Twitch who asks
2180s	Gary does Hive approve of the Unreal
2182s	Engine 5
2185s	migration I would probably expect to be
2188s	fair that he's probably very sarcastic
2190s	about it because he likes to be uh
2192s	updated to the latest but obviously we
2194s	know that Adam intervene said don't
2195s	don't update no no we don't want you to
2197s	be on the latest Turner system and he's
2199s	like why why would I not be uh so yeah
2202s	probably a bit of a mixed bag with uh
2204s	with hve but I think he he would
2205s	probably approve greatly in the end
2207s	because you know if if it makes him run
2209s	better makes him look better why not why
2211s	not I love that question awesome Stevie
2215s	D from YouTube are there any plans to
2217s	add a pilot model to each craft while in
2220s	cockpit
2222s	view ooh that's a very good question I
2224s	don't think in cockpit view because I
2227s	mean we do have a model in the actual
2230s	yeah answer is no
2232s	yeah um we do have a model when you can
2235s	look into the ship you will see a model
2237s	of of the pilot there but obviously in
2239s	you know cockpit view in kind of the
2241s	first person view then no you don't see
2243s	that it's a lot of work to model um a
2246s	movable
2247s	pilot as such you know where you'd see
2249s	the limbs and it would articulate on the
2251s	controls Etc so probably not as as Eric
2254s	says uh yeah it's it's a lot of work and
2257s	we don't see the potential value in
2259s	doing that
2261s	so solid yeah um okay so two more two
2265s	questions that uh I'm going to kind of
2267s	wrap up into one we've got jahun cross
2269s	on YouTube and dvan uh from I didn't
2272s	write I think they're on YouTube as well
2275s	they both are asking about um New
2278s	Opportunities from Unreal Engine 5 one
2281s	of which being for example HDR another
2284s	one being uh any elements pertaining to
2286s	hotas support okay um I think that kind
2290s	of falls back to a similar question uh
2293s	answer that I gave a little bit earlier
2295s	if we can and uh were able to then we
2298s	would look at that as an opportunity um
2301s	we can't say for definite yes uh you
2303s	know now because literally we're
2305s	starting work on the engine an update if
2307s	we're able to and we get value from it
2310s	and we know that the players would get
2311s	value from it then you know we would try
2313s	to do it but please it's not a guarantee
2317s	I don't want anybody to misconstrue that
2319s	and say yes they're going to do it as
2321s	always if we can and we are able to then
2323s	we would like to then we would but
2326s	there's no guarantees on that so maybe
2329s	um but yes we'll have to wait and see
2331s	wait and see turns out that migrating an
2334s	engine has a lot of moving parts so just
2336s	as we are reconfiguring everything we
2339s	ask for your patience as we figure out
2341s	um fully what that's going to look like
2343s	for all of you as well um but you know
2345s	as Gary is preaching as soon as we have
2347s	more information to share on this front
2349s	we will share that um but for the
2351s	expectation as a whole we want to keep
2354s	the game in the exact same capacity that
2357s	it was before to win it's through this
2360s	migration process so that's the general
2365s	general rule of thumb here the last
2367s	question I have for you all is v x over
2371s	on YouTube asking about if we will be
2374s	adding the Ukrainian
2377s	language uh I'd have to probably refer
2379s	to the team on that one but we do have
2381s	an option for players to uh give
2385s	additional um translation support um if
2388s	you go on to our Discord I'm sure we may
2391s	have that in the FAQ somewhere if not we
2394s	can get it added um languages can be
2396s	very very very difficult to add because
2398s	there is a lot of translation work to to
2401s	do to that and it does mean you know
2403s	usually paying an external company to do
2405s	that so it's probably a no but um if
2410s	there was enough you know people
2412s	requiring something uh added then we
2415s	could look at it for example but again
2416s	it's not a guarantee that that would uh
2418s	that would uh all of a sudden appear in
2420s	the game but it there's always the
2422s	possibility depending upon the the
2424s	responses that we get but we do listen
2426s	and I think this is what me and Eric do
2428s	like to preach as well um you may not
2430s	get a direct response from uh either
2432s	myself or Eric or some of the other
2434s	development team when you put these
2435s	suggestions forward but we do read them
2438s	we do like to take note of them we do
2440s	like to collect the evidence every month
2443s	for the hot topics and things like that
2445s	that we kind of need to you know relay
2447s	to the rest of the team and say look
2449s	this is what the players are talking
2451s	about you know um can we consider it so
2454s	you like I said you might not get a
2456s	response but we are listening to
2458s	everything that you put across all our
2460s	discussions whether it's Discord steam
2463s	uh social media wherever it is we do
2465s	listen we do read and uh we do take note
2468s	so yeah we shall see and just one more
2471s	addition to that um in regards to uh
2474s	localization uh I was a little bit a
2476s	part of this um last year and trying to
2479s	in seeing how the processes came
2481s	together and I will say just based on
2483s	how this process comes together just
2486s	adding one new language to the game is a
2489s	rather timely and costly Endeavor for us
2493s	so we are using crowd in right now for
2496s	all of the active languages that we have
2498s	for individuals if they're catching any
2500s	sort of um errors within them you can
2503s	report them to us directly and we can
2505s	tidy those up um we do not have crow in
2507s	available for you guys to just jump into
2510s	and add whatever language you want
2511s	though that that is not how the service
2513s	works we did not design it like that so
2516s	for any requests of new languages they
2519s	are very much going to be on a per basis
2522s	uh categorization for us um and I really
2525s	want to make sure that everybody knows
2527s	it is not likely at all for us to add
2531s	more languages at this time thank you
2534s	for your
2535s	understanding excellent that the last
2539s	question that is the last question fly
2541s	on pilot excellent excellent right
2543s	because we're uh talking about Unreal
2545s	Engine 5 I've got a a few screenshots
2547s	just to show you from uh uh the blog uh
2550s	some of you may not have seen it some of
2552s	you may not have have read it so just
2553s	before I restart my play through after
2555s	that impending death um we're just going
2557s	to talk a little bit more about uh
2559s	Unreal Engine 5 and the things that
2561s	we're seeing uh of the team is certainly
2563s	seeing when they're um doing the
2565s	migration and now some people think oh
2568s	it should be an easy step to go from
2570s	Unreal Engine for to1 real Engine 5 it's
2571s	just pressing a few buttons it
2574s	definitely isn't we've had so many
2575s	issues in in terms
2578s	of um you know things in the wrong place
2581s	things have moved UI has shifted we've
2584s	had a variety of things I'm just going
2585s	to show you a couple of screenshots uh
2587s	that you're going to see on screen now
2589s	now some people love this effect I think
2591s	it's uh an absolutely wonderful thing
2594s	with the the tron-like kind of lighting
2597s	but this is not how it's supposed to go
2600s	let's be fair it's it's definitely not
2602s	how it's supposed to go um some people
2604s	have requested it as an alternative mode
2606s	obviously we hear you probably not going
2607s	to happen but we think it's fun anyway
2609s	we do like it but yeah these are the
2611s	kind of things that need to be fixed um
2613s	we know that they are not um something
2617s	that we need to leave in the game uh and
2620s	then we need to figure out what's
2621s	causing it and then the the guys uh in
2624s	Hamburg need to then fix those issues so
2626s	you can see it's find the problem find
2628s	the cause of the problem and then fix it
2630s	and again it'd be wonderful if you could
2632s	just go right there we go into a real
2634s	Engine 5 yay it all works sadly it
2637s	doesn't work like that so this is one of
2639s	one of a couple of instances of things
2641s	that have have gone wrong another
2643s	thing there we
2645s	go you shoot from one place and your
2648s	laser beams come out of another as well
2650s	and I mean it shouldn't happen but you
2652s	know it does and then again it it all
2655s	rolls back to why did it happen what do
2658s	we need to fix it you know and can we
2660s	make sure that it doesn't happen again
2661s	because you know things break you know
2663s	bugs do get introduced um but you know
2666s	we'll do our due diligence uh across the
2668s	board to make sure that these things uh
2670s	are fixed and sorted uh and tested um
2674s	but you know bugs do happen and you know
2677s	game development isn't easy if it was
2680s	everybody would be doing it you know
2682s	let's be fair uh and the guys are very
2684s	very talented they've worked with Unreal
2685s	Engine for a long long time so it'll
2688s	just take a little bit of a while to get
2690s	these things fixed up uh one of the
2692s	screenshot hang on that one there we go
2695s	um yeah okay okay so the pipe work
2698s	shouldn't really have a glow around it
2702s	you know it shouldn't be highlighted uh
2703s	we usually see things like that in the
2705s	editor as such because that highlights
2707s	the actual thing but yeah it sneaked
2708s	into the the build so yeah things like
2711s	that are not what uh what we want to see
2715s	uh and it does take a time and it's
2716s	meticulously going through you know
2717s	these things could be missed in in this
2719s	kind of environment you would see it and
2720s	be like whoa hang on why is that you
2722s	know got the glow around it you know so
2725s	it is going to take a while so just
2726s	please be patient
2727s	now obviously for the the
2729s	maintainability side of uh Unreal Engine
2732s	5 you know it means that we can uh
2735s	hopefully look after everspace 2 for a
2738s	lot longer by being on the more modern
2740s	engine but where does that leave us in
2743s	terms of what's coming uh in this year
2746s	so I'm just going to show you another
2747s	little slide and here we are and this is
2749s	obviously our part of our road map okay
2752s	for for the year okay now winter 2023
2756s	yes we are kind of in 2024 but this is a
2758s	kind of crossover of this period from
2761s	the end of last year into New Year so
2762s	the art of everspace 2 I'm sure some of
2764s	you have seen uh the physical art books
2767s	that we've been sending out to our
2769s	backers um some people have requested
2771s	can we buy them yes you will be able to
2773s	buy them however um they're making their
2777s	way to the various Outlets so as soon as
2779s	again we have details on when you can
2781s	purchase them we will let you know um
2784s	again uh we want you to get your little
2786s	m on those books cuz they are fabulous
2788s	looking uh my copy is marvelous it's a
2790s	pride of place outside of me as well and
2792s	you do like to look at these things you
2794s	know the guy did a wonderful soon Very
2797s	Yes rfg Lee soon we need a little
2799s	trademark on that as well so uh but
2802s	moving on whilst all the work for Unreal
2805s	Engine 5 is being done by the team back
2807s	in Hamburg you will see that we've got
2809s	another free update coming your way
2812s	later uh in the year okay it's around
2815s	springtime it's very vague because we
2817s	know that dates can shift problems can
2819s	be hit you know as soon as we have a
2822s	date we will let you know so uh at some
2825s	point it will carry on uh so what we got
2828s	we've got incursions that is going to be
2830s	the name of the free update um you may
2832s	have seen a tiny little bit of it from
2834s	the last stream where Eric did just give
2837s	you a little Glimpse there just a little
2839s	Glimpse uh of what that may entail we've
2842s	got new legendaries coming as well as
2844s	well as front and engine ship modules so
2846s	they're coming in revamp to the end game
2849s	M again nothing we can show you yet so
2853s	uh those will be coming much further
2855s	down the line and then obviously plenty
2856s	of bug fixes and more on top of
2860s	obviously the work that we're doing to
2861s	Unreal Engine 5 so uh it's a busy time
2865s	it might not look like we're doing a lot
2867s	but a lot is going on in the background
2869s	and uh we thank you very much for your
2871s	patience uh and we you know we wouldn't
2873s	be endeavoring to do this work if we
2875s	didn't think it was worthwhile for not
2876s	only us but for you guys as well so uh
2878s	do stick with us um and hopefully we'll
2881s	bring some nice things to you uh this
2883s	year so we shall see we shall see but
2885s	let's fly on after that let's just
2888s	remove that yes that pesky Outlaw drone
2890s	we need to um I did think I was going to
2892s	struggle a little bit here I'm only
2894s	level four and now level six
2899s	and right there we
2902s	go for component hello hello we put that
2905s	there
2906s	oh that saved it right under there okay
2909s	right o main frame
2911s	component there we go so we got an
2914s	expansion point we got three of those
2916s	now now I'm going to defer to Eric for
2918s	this as as a little question uh playing
2921s	a striker what is a good attribute to
2923s	start putting the points into oh my
2926s	goodness that's that's a fantastic
2928s	question honestly and the striker um in
2930s	general this is a fighter craft that is
2933s	designed to get up in the face
2936s	of your enemies so uh mid game I would
2940s	say that it's a pretty good direction to
2943s	go to stabilize your build with
2947s	resistance and um I know I know it
2949s	sounds kind of strange a lot of people
2950s	are like what why would you ever go
2951s	defensive you always want to go
2953s	Firepower just more damage CU you kill
2956s	them faster they can't do damage to you
2957s	well yes this is true but the striker
2959s	does have some inherent benefits to uh
2962s	it already whenever it's getting in
2964s	close quarter combat through its
2966s	um that help it take that advantage in
2970s	its defensive capabilities so I always
2973s	like to take whatever a benefit a ship
2975s	has and Elevate that further and as
2978s	opposed to just go one particular
2980s	direction that could also work yes but
2984s	is generally not paired with the style
2986s	of play of the ship so my recommendation
2989s	in a space like this would either be
2991s	structure utility or resistance I might
2994s	recommend resistance it's not going to
2996s	matter too much being at the low level
2998s	of four but as you're moving into mid
3000s	game that will matter a bit more there
3003s	we go some s advice from Eric there so
3005s	he know he knows his stuff he knows his
3007s	stuff so yeah we'll put a point into
3009s	resistance uh do you know it would have
3011s	been funny to actually hear Eric say all
3013s	that and then just put something into
3014s	Firepower and just go no I'm not
3016s	listening to
3019s	you there we EXC me
3022s	yeah right so let's try and find things
3026s	and we got some stuff there let's grab
3028s	that some scrap metal what we can
3030s	actually do is get rid of that thank you
3034s	is just to head over here I could always
3037s	blame all my deaths on it being the
3039s	Unreal Engine update you know on the dev
3041s	build and you know it's a bit wonky and
3043s	you know all that kind
3046s	of right let's just speak to the Flying
3049s	Duchess keep those questions coming in
3051s	I'm sure you got many many more
3053s	regarding what we've shown what we've
3054s	talked about Etc uh but yeah if uh if
3057s	there's anything we can't answer we can
3059s	always follow up on the Discord you can
3061s	always ask the questions in uh in our
3063s	support Channel you can put it in a
3065s	question there right let's see what the
3068s	lovely ladies got so corrosion injector
3070s	tuned energy
3073s	call a a possibility what we got the
3076s	moment we got a three okay I might need
3079s	to hopefully come back actually once
3082s	I've actually
3084s	increased my level if I can get through
3087s	there L if I can get
3089s	through
3093s	yeah okay that's good L we can sell we
3095s	can sell these for
3097s	credit of
3099s	that Blaster see that's only a two
3102s	that's not really helping us is it I do
3105s	like the auto calar I tell you what
3106s	we're going to do we going to switch to
3107s	the Blaster we may just take off the
3109s	calibrated coil for the time being
3111s	because I just don't think it's doing us
3113s	any favors so between the beam laser and
3116s	the Blaster we'll have to try and get up
3118s	close and personal what we may do is
3121s	just have a little look at the
3122s	we've got the EMP and we've got the
3124s	energize
3125s	boost
3129s	um
3134s	yeah yeah I think we'll stick with that
3137s	I think the energized boost is good to
3138s	get out of Dodge if we need to so let's
3141s	see if we can find it and not
3144s	die
3147s	now we need to try and find that Beacon
3153s	again there it
3157s	is all right was another group over
3160s	there that Viper level six
3166s	pain if we do find it too tough uh as
3169s	always there's variety of options that
3171s	you can do with the game you could
3172s	either lower the level difficulty the
3174s	difficulty level down to some something
3175s	more suitable if you find that you're
3176s	getting a bit overwhelmed or you could
3178s	go off and just get that A Little Bit
3180s	Stronger there is that option you can
3181s	get out of here go earn some more
3183s	credits ear the level
3186s	Etc missiles you can go
3190s	down base any clues I should look out
3192s	for if it's a beaning it should have
3195s	some doik structure attached to it there
3197s	we go but even then you'll need to blow
3199s	the whole thing up to be certain all
3201s	right this one looks
3203s	promising all right okay we do need need
3205s	to get rid of him though don't
3230s	we there did he
3232s	go and we don't want to be flying off
3234s	that way I'm just going to give us
3235s	myself some
3236s	room myself a bit of breathing space cuz
3239s	I don't we get swarmed and overwhelmed
3242s	and if you do need to back off that's a
3244s	perfectly good tactic so there's more
3246s	turrets and
3248s	missiles they're still staying over
3250s	there which is good it's a very good
3251s	tactic even for ever space one is to
3253s	just evaluate before you go into the
3255s	fight um you know if you boys and girls
3258s	that have been playing ever space one if
3259s	you're familiar with it uh when you dive
3262s	into a sector it can be all a little bit
3264s	you know overwhelming because you think
3265s	where do I need to go where do I need to
3267s	head and and you know all of a sudden
3268s	you can be uh
3279s	struggling can you just not do that
3291s	please there we go yes thank you
3306s	right okay the friends are coming in
3308s	aren't they they're going to be saying
3309s	hello in a second so let's just back off
3313s	out lar run send a rocket at him there
3317s	we
3320s	go one we got the lock oh okay
3337s	Viper is not what I want in my face at
3340s	the moment there we go yay player perks
3343s	so every five levels set of new player
3345s	perks get unlocked so we can get to
3347s	choose that g me a bit of corrosion
3350s	which is
3351s	nice let's just grab
3354s	those well hello I can't this moments
3363s	peace right so another Blood star
3365s	protect uh prospector rather has just
3368s	come
3373s	along right let's just head down
3376s	here yeah we will probably find that
3378s	some of our gear is now a little bit
3380s	outdated but still
3384s	still
3394s	wow I got obliterated
3399s	again I'm going to blame my a blame me
3402s	my a that time let's get dive back
3406s	in it happens it does at least it wasn't
3410s	a
3410s	mine yeah that' be embarrassing not like
3413s	we've ever done that before wor oh
3420s	course this could be a sticky situation
3444s	here m dodg
3468s	in there we go you much better there we
3473s	go nice people
3476s	do with all bases everything kind of
3479s	starts to respawn after a little while
3481s	so
3491s	problem let's get this
3498s	P oh hello put the asteroid
3502s	there wasn't a good idea
3506s	I can do this yeah I've got
3516s	this
3518s	damn out of thein showing me another
3521s	death yeah B frog it is proving
3524s	problematic I think my gear may need
3526s	what we uh calling the trade a bit of an
3532s	upgrade let's just see can I understand
3535s	the struggle there we go
3539s	that as some of the Chatters just wanted
3541s	to read off there is a uh a comment from
3544s	Gordon Holland who said I found out that
3546s	mines can destroy bases quite fast so
3549s	when I did this Mission chain I used
3551s	those and beat it quite easily just a
3553s	just a little point from a from a fellow
3556s	viewer and I have to agree mines are
3559s	pretty powerful when it comes to
3560s	clustered up enemies and bases generally
3563s	have them mhm
3566s	those an arc 9000 that
3567s	[Laughter]
3572s	works let's just check
3575s	this that slightly above my
3594s	level
3604s	get
3610s	there I keep jumping
3624s	in
3647s	all right let's
3654s	hopefully
3662s	every time I go past they're just that's
3666s	spawning just there which is causing me
3669s	an issue oh now two others have jumped
3672s	in as
3673s	well right here what we're going to do
3676s	is I think we need to do as I
3677s	recommended get out of Dodge get
3679s	repaired come back sort that one out
3681s	with a bit more gear
3683s	hopefully
3688s	right then so
3690s	where we got flying Dess if we go back
3694s	there let's go to Union Bridge let's see
3697s	what he's got at the trading Place let's
3699s	go see let's go
3702s	see there never a problem if you need to
3704s	get out of there can someone tell you no
3707s	we don't use ult here late volley we
3708s	never use alts you should know these
3710s	things by
3712s	now uh and yeah top marks to bided frog
3714s	for uh his um keyboard setup that he
3718s	showed us over on uh on a Discord with a
3721s	absolutely huge G key right in the
3723s	middle of uh of the keyboard for some
3727s	people to use I'm not entirely sure who
3729s	you know maybe just myself and Eric you
3733s	know there there's always good funing
3737s	dying run away is a valid option valid
3740s	option so um yeah we'll get to Union
3743s	bridge and then we may have some more
3745s	questions we may have
3750s	more see what we can buy see what we can
3752s	purchase see what we can upgrade here to
3754s	make us a little bit less hell of a
3758s	setup they have here
3761s	dying there we go it over there heyy I
3764s	have a quick
3766s	question um what is the first letter of
3768s	your
3770s	name it's a it's a g funny enough yeah
3773s	oh that's crazy it is yeah never
3777s	remember writing a note and I just I
3779s	just needed to know how to that's that's
3782s	completely coincidental to anything
3785s	else I'm fair game today because
3787s	normally I'm having the little sarcastic
3789s	CPS when when Ione comes with with Eric
3792s	so I'll give I'll give him his chance
3794s	I'll give him his chance it's always
3795s	good to get you on that from time to
3798s	time uh I feel like my ship's made of
3800s	aluminium that's my
3803s	excuse all right okay energy socket and
3806s	a secure container I wonder where one of
3807s	those could be let's just see what we
3809s	can buy if there's anything here
3811s	hopefully we shall see we shall see
3814s	right
3816s	um so we did upgrade that part The Blood
3819s	star which is good nice little bonus
3822s	plating have we got any plating we got
3824s	Cruise
3825s	boost
3827s	um it is an upgrade that will take it
3830s	we'll swapy we we'll sell that
3833s	off uh the Boost that's okay that's
3838s	that's worthwhile got enough credits for
3840s	this we got enough credits for this buy
3843s	and sell and just these little things
3845s	that can give us a little bit of a
3847s	boost uh
3850s	Shield again it's a it's a little bit of
3852s	a boost so I I'll take it I'll take it
3855s	and we'll sell everything else on there
3857s	teleporter now I do like the teleporter
3860s	it is one of my favorite devices I I'm
3862s	going to use uh get that I'm going to
3864s	grab it and then we're going to stick in
3865s	on our ship straight away we're going to
3867s	swap it out for the energized boost
3870s	because that is quite handy and I'm
3872s	going to use it as an upgrade as well so
3874s	I'm going to use my upgrade point on
3876s	that we shall do a little bit of a
3878s	repair yes and a little bit of a restock
3882s	let's check out our
3885s	perks now I get this funny feeling that
3889s	um with the way that I'm dying at the
3891s	moment close call might be a good option
3896s	uh close call does instead of taking
3897s	lethal damage a shield deploys that
3899s	grants invisibility and lasts for 10
3901s	seconds uh the ship must be dock to make
3903s	the shield available again after use
3905s	that could be quite handy in in that
3907s	specific area that I need to go where I
3909s	keep dying and you know then I could
3911s	always scoot off to to get to uh um to
3914s	meet our helpful lady at the duchess uh
3917s	that could be quite useful so we we
3919s	we'll stick with that I think we'll go
3920s	we'll go for an activate on the close
3922s	call uh a lot of people may choose
3924s	something different um in terms of like
3926s	defensive Massacre but for me currently
3929s	uh I'm just going with it as uh as as
3931s	necessary which is close call so Eric do
3934s	we have any more questions lined up I've
3937s	got just a couple of them I got some
3939s	good questions that came out of them so
3941s	very appreciative of that the first one
3944s	we have comes from Wizard Jerry over on
3946s	YouTube who is an absolute Legend at
3949s	this game for the record yeah sorry
3951s	wizard Jerry I feel like I'm letting the
3952s	side down a little bit here oh it's
3955s	great it's great so his question is very
3957s	simple but a great question it is can we
3959s	continue with our save game after this
3962s	migration yes absolutely yes uh I know
3966s	there'll probably be a fear from some
3967s	quarters like oh no you know we're going
3969s	to have a game save wipe no no you're
3972s	just going to be carrying on uh with
3974s	your save game as normal it won't be
3975s	affecting those whatsoever um so yeah
3978s	just uh don't fret don't worry on that
3981s	score you'll be able to continue your
3982s	saves Wherever You Are up to whether
3985s	you're grinding the Rifts or whether
3987s	you're part of the way through the story
3988s	you're just going to carry on as normal
3990s	so yeah don't don't don't fear we're not
3993s	going to get rid of anything on that
3996s	score wonderful next question comes from
3999s	Gordon Holland over on YouTube and asks
4003s	uh you know a playful question but a
4005s	great question nonetheless will there be
4007s	any new categories of devices we already
4010s	have Warfare and support but maybe a
4013s	third
4015s	that'd be nice to have wouldn't
4017s	it we'll have to wait and see we'll have
4019s	to wait and see I know it's vague uh
4021s	we're always like to be vague until
4022s	we've got some concrete information we
4024s	try not to get your hopes up in case it
4026s	doesn't happen or if you know we like to
4028s	tease you and reveal things uh but yeah
4030s	as soon as again one of those uh as soon
4032s	as we have some information on that
4034s	whether it's a good or a bad positive or
4035s	negative then we'll let you know so yeah
4037s	at the moment nothing to say on that
4040s	score so um I have a followup question
4043s	to that Gary um you know I I I heard
4046s	that there's supposed to be like a free
4048s	update this year could you at least tell
4049s	me a little bit more about like maybe
4051s	when that's going to happen and what
4052s	that's focused on really we've got a
4054s	free update coming I know it's crazy I
4056s	think so anyway can you tell me more
4058s	yeah maybe maybe yes we do uh you will
4061s	have just probably seen it for those of
4062s	you didn't I shall just bring the
4064s	graphic back up uh just down here this
4067s	side this side down here uh we've got a
4069s	free update called incursions coming uh
4071s	sometime in the spring okay spring are
4074s	very obviously uh a few months so no
4078s	specific date but we're going to see new
4079s	legendaries we're going to see front and
4082s	uh engine ship modules as well uh
4085s	revamps end game content and Bug fixes
4087s	and many many more as I mentioned before
4089s	it is a free update it's not going to
4090s	cost you anything uh further out we've
4092s	got a DLC uh in the works but that's you
4095s	know we're not talking about anything on
4096s	that score just yet um but yeah this
4099s	incursions will be coming out sometime
4101s	in the spring um hopefully with the
4104s	update on real Engine 5 as well so uh
4106s	yeah fingers crossed lots happening
4108s	again as I said lot going on behind the
4110s	scenes you might think that we're not
4112s	doing a great deal but we are trust us
4114s	we are doing a lot uh there's a lot to
4116s	bring to the table and uh hopefully you
4118s	can uh all join us in the spring for
4122s	stuff stuff thank you for that added
4125s	information wow that is incredibly
4127s	exciting for more content coming to
4128s	everspace 2 this spring don't miss it
4131s	next question comes from late V
4135s	over on Twitch they ask what's one thing
4138s	for everspace 2 that is made possible by
4141s	Unreal Engine 5 that wasn't possible in
4144s	Unreal Engine 4 I do know that this is a
4147s	rather difficult question for us to
4149s	answer um I think we've also kind of
4151s	answered this um already so if you want
4154s	to kind of expand on that yeah I looking
4158s	at what Unreal Engine 5 could possibly
4160s	bring to the table is something the team
4162s	are definitely looking at um I people
4164s	have have mentioned we've seen it in the
4166s	comments about Lumen and about nanite uh
4169s	technologies that are are within one
4171s	real Engine 5 um the team are not
4174s	discounting them they they're looking at
4176s	their feasibility but it has to be
4178s	whether um something like that will give
4180s	us a benefit to the game you know is it
4183s	better than what we've already got is it
4184s	worth time developing uh for those uh
4187s	Technologies or you know is it a
4190s	necessity and you kind of got to base
4193s	those needs on many many factors that
4195s	they do um uh need to look out behind
4199s	the team and trust us the team will do a
4201s	very very good job at deciding what is
4204s	best for the game going forward and
4206s	obviously the overarching move to Unreal
4208s	Engine five is one of those such moves
4211s	because they feel it's a necessity with
4213s	Unreal Engine 4 being the old engine and
4216s	epic now focusing on Unreal Engine 5
4218s	then it's a smart move and you know
4221s	luckily we've got the time currently to
4224s	to make that happen so yeah we will look
4227s	at all the fancy tools that are
4229s	available uh will whether we'll utilize
4232s	them is uncertain is uncertain but we
4235s	shall see we shall see so uh excellent
4239s	um the last question um I'm going to go
4241s	ahead and try to answer this one U it
4243s	comes from chatow we um over on Twitch
4247s	and he asks are you guys upgrading
4249s	straight to
4251s	5.3 um chaty I know that you are a
4253s	techie and you've done some pretty cool
4256s	mod stuff for ever Space 2 already which
4259s	was fantastic if nobody knows what I'm
4262s	talking about uh you need to join the
4264s	Discord because holy cow there's some
4265s	fun stuff and shenanigans that can
4267s	happen um but uh chat we I could give
4270s	you a more direct response on that um
4273s	maybe sometime next week because I do
4275s	not know the direct answer nor if there
4278s	is a reason uh if we would be going that
4281s	route or a different uh version or that
4284s	has anything to do with why we're making
4286s	that decision so I can follow up and
4288s	give you more clarity thank you for your
4289s	patience on it um a very curious techy
4292s	question I love it ah igma over on
4296s	Twitch has just dived straight in and
4298s	answered that for you yes we're going to
4301s	5.3.2 perfect thank you igar save me
4304s	some trouble love it igar what a
4306s	wonderful chap there's a there there we
4309s	go thanks imma much
4312s	appreciated excellent right let's have a
4314s	little look see we got anything else
4316s	that we can uh pesky husky says I forgot
4319s	his question hang on a second I need to
4322s	uh let me let me see if I miss something
4324s	or if this is just a troll it's a famous
4328s	firewall I normally have a firewall that
4331s	uh that gets raised from time to time
4334s	so I I'm not seeing any valid
4340s	questions so I think we can fly on
4344s	if you did sincerely ask a question that
4346s	we missed please go ahead and ask it
4348s	again um otherwise it looks like you're
4351s	just having fun in the chat and that's
4352s	great it's it's beautiful you guys keep
4354s	having fun and we will keep answering
4356s	questions as we can excellent excellent
4358s	cool good to see good to see right so
4362s	let's
4363s	see I think that was everything that we
4365s	were going to purchase here um we'll
4369s	break that down uh we dismantle it just
4371s	so we can start the blueprint process on
4373s	that
4376s	sensor
4377s	actually yeah less fire post we'll break
4380s	that one down we'll keep that energy
4385s	injector yeah we keep them energy
4389s	core we'll just sell cuz we don't need
4391s	that do we and we've got pulse list
4393s	ready uh for when we get to level six
4396s	hopefully without dying too often yes
4399s	to right
4401s	let's oh I see this question I it okay
4404s	he was he he was wondering and I I don't
4406s	know if you have the the concept art on
4409s	hand or not but his question was
4411s	pertaining to um elex's Windswept Wings
4415s	on his vessel uh he was wanting to know
4418s	a little bit more about those I
4422s	filmed I know i' got it here I know it's
4424s	reversed because my camera is reversed
4425s	but I do have the artbook to hand and
4426s	I'm not too sure if it was actually in
4428s	in there or not it probably is somewhere
4431s	but I don't know the background I mean
4433s	the the the artwork is is phenomenal
4435s	from the team to be fair um if you do
4437s	manage to get your hands on on the
4439s	artbook uh in
4441s	um now it is probably reversed but I
4444s	think that's the image that you are
4446s	referring to um it looks very much like
4449s	a a kind of a Mustang um fighter plane
4453s	from World War II the very du nose yeah
4456s	yeah yeah and actually you're correct in
4459s	its inspiration it did take inspiration
4461s	from uh I I believe World War I
4464s	um I can get additional Clarity from UA
4467s	and Matias on that actually I don't
4468s	think Matias worked on that or maybe he
4470s	did regardless uh there's been a lot of
4474s	inspiration from a lot of war planes uh
4476s	within IR Space 2 that's probably uh a
4479s	parents but if it's not well there you
4481s	go there's some more information we do
4482s	like um military designs and uh there's
4485s	a slew of them that have entered into
4487s	everspace too M cool cool very very nice
4490s	yeah I know it's reverse like say the
4491s	camera is is is flipped um but this uh
4495s	is the physical art book you can see
4497s	it's a chunky boy um it is going to be
4499s	available soon um trademark as soon as
4503s	we have details on when this is going to
4504s	be available to purchase we will put it
4507s	up um in a blog in a notification for
4510s	you all uh it is worthwhile having I'm
4512s	not just saying that because I've worked
4513s	work on the team but it is a phenomenal
4516s	art book you've got to remember this was
4518s	originally supposed to be 52 pages and
4521s	then uh over time we decided no what the
4524s	hell let's go 280 pages of absolutely
4528s	stunning shots and background about the
4530s	game so very worthwhile uh grabbing if
4532s	you
4533s	can so let's uh let's continue our
4536s	journey of dying to uh
4539s	drones let's just kill
4543s	some there we go I feel a bit bit
4546s	stronger here mind you these are oh mad
4548s	caps I would love these they always tend
4551s	to kill me let's just get out I wanted
4554s	I wanted to mention that I am incredibly
4556s	excited to take one of our art books and
4559s	set it down on a table and watch the
4561s	table crumble underneath it because of
4563s	how meaty that thing is goodness gravy
4566s	you could build a house of that
4570s	strong right so let's head back then
4573s	to siren C where would be before so
4576s	let's just dive over there before I get
4577s	shot by anything actually you know what
4579s	I'm going to do you know what I'm going
4580s	to do I'm going to find the energy
4582s	dispenser I've just remembered
4584s	let's get some resources here as
4586s	well collect those resources collect
4589s	collect
4591s	collect always
4596s	good right you are down underneath are

4611s	thing there we go did you guys hear that
4613s	all right let's head back
4620s	up there we
4623s	go 18 seconds cool not going to bash
4626s	into anything there we go right so bash
4629s	into anything he says there's plating I
4632s	just bought some plating how

4644s	to this but that's good that's
4648s	good excellent right let's dive out of
4651s	there so we've upgraded our things

4954s	I need to I need
4955s	[Laughter]
4957s	to who need Shields you never need
4965s	Shields almost seems like your armor is
4967s	made out of aluminium or
4970s	something let's see what you did there
4986s	there we go right ship module did we get
4990s	a rear
4992s	six calibrated scatter gun I know this
4995s	is one of your favorites as well the
4997s	scatter
4998s	gun never been a fan but it may work on
5001s	this needing to be up close and
5014s	personal we need two fuel tanks 11 coils
5018s	a couple of turrets that turret I just
5020s	you know every time I take it down and
5021s	then it's just the respawns that are
5022s	getting me they just they don't like me
5025s	being
5027s	here that other R set is very very close
5032s	around the side
5038s	wow let's do this it just popped in as
5042s	well I'm going to say that the uh the UN
5046s	Engine 5 update has put everything to
5049s	nightmare
5050s	mode it's a bug we need to
5055s	fix
5061s	yeah
5070s	okay and ene
5081s	in oh who put that asteroid
5091s	there
5115s	I see some comments over on
5118s	um YouTube is what it's called Uh
5121s	talking about how the early game uh is a
5124s	little bit of a struggle and I wanted to
5126s	comment on this just as you know you're
5129s	you're championing things the best way
5131s	you can um in the balance of ever Space
5135s	2 and the progression thereof we did
5138s	take notes on how the early game is
5142s	actually not as bad as the mid game the
5147s	mid game is actually the
5149s	hardest state of the game when it comes
5153s	to sheer
5155s	balance and believe it or not the end
5158s	game as you go through the mid game and
5160s	into the endgame it starts getting a
5162s	little bit easier again so um this is
5165s	something we've looked at and have had
5167s	conversations about from a development
5169s	standpoint um and while there aren't any
5172s	plans of like especially any types of
5175s	overhauls we are keeping in mind the
5178s	satisfaction that you guys have as
5180s	players as you're building yourself up
5183s	uh into that mid game learning about
5185s	most of the systems and then expressing
5187s	yourselves with these beautiful builds
5190s	into that late game experience um and if
5193s	there's any way that we can heighten
5194s	that even more by tweaking anything on
5196s	the balancing side uh we may take that
5199s	dive and adjust some
5203s	elements excellent always going to use I
5206s	mean never never be afraid I know some
5207s	people uh in the various discussions on
5209s	Steam that I've have been involved in
5212s	Etc people do find sometimes normal is
5214s	too easy so there's the option to ramp
5217s	up the difficulty which is you know a
5219s	good thing also some people struggle
5221s	with normal which what you know the team
5223s	consider is a normal level of difficulty
5226s	um but there's nothing wrong with
5228s	tweaking the level down even if it's
5230s	only temporary uh you can you know push
5233s	that level down for a little while if
5235s	you find your things are a little bit
5236s	stressful for you Etc don't be afraid to
5240s	do that um we encourage you to enjoy the
5243s	game to the maximum if that means that
5244s	you tweak the level up or level down
5247s	then do it it's for your own
5248s	satisfaction not for anybody else you
5250s	don't need to worry about you know being
5252s	an an Uber pilot or anything like that I
5254s	mean I'm dying I could tweak the
5256s	settings down but I want to challenge
5258s	myself and it's down to me if I was
5260s	struggling and I wasn't enjoying it then
5261s	I would tweak so please don't ever have
5263s	a fear of tweaking one way or the other
5266s	uh it's entirely your playthrough and
5268s	how you enjoy gaming uh and that's what
5270s	we want people to do is enjoy the game
5272s	[Music]
5276s	do that
5278s	one
5280s	that and then that one there we go
5286s	blink and what did we get what do we get
5289s	what do we get ship
5290s	module rockets and a Mainframe component
5294s	ni main frame component just a ticket
5297s	just a ticket see what we got anything
5299s	good we got that down there that's good
5302s	that's up there we'll swap those Rockets
5304s	out you
5306s	know bit of power we'll keep hold of
5309s	them temporarily just as Spar in case uh
5313s	so yeah that's that's good at least we
5315s	managed uh the good thing was I actually
5317s	went to what I would consider the
5318s	correct place to start with didn't have
5321s	to go to the others which is
5323s	good right let's grab that so hello can
5327s	you just do one thank you while I just
5329s	get out of there thank
5331s	you let's go to see our lady friend over
5335s	here and see if she's got anything for
5339s	us always good always set the
5341s	opportunity cuz sometimes you might find
5343s	this something that will just help you a
5344s	little bit
5345s	more um in terms of devices or weapons
5349s	uh even your repairs you know if you
5351s	find that you're a little bit beat up
5352s	then head back
5354s	here to various places
5357s	maybe maybe oh good right let's see what
5361s	she's got so she did have that I don't
5363s	think we upgraded anything particular
5365s	from her did we no nothing there
5369s	uh actually we'll dismantle them that's
5374s	nearly they're marks ones another little
5377s	tip uh if you find that you're very
5380s	close to completing a blueprint uh like
5383s	I've got two of three for a blueprint of
5385s	the of the Rockets uh these are
5387s	obviously the powerful or the maxman so
5389s	they're a slightly different variant if
5391s	they have them in a store you could
5394s	purchase them and then dismantle them
5395s	straight away to get the blueprint so
5397s	just worthwhile obviously you'd be
5399s	considerate about the money aspect uh
5402s	but you do find that you will uh make
5404s	quite a bit of money as you uh travel
5406s	through the game anyway so uh yeah keep
5408s	those questions coming uh we're going to
5410s	have um a few more questions coming up
5412s	when we transition to the screenshot uh

5938s	there there we go that's the one yes so
5941s	this one is from Speedy Sam over on our
5944s	Discord uh it's a wonderful effect I
5946s	think he's taking this just as he's
5948s	going
5949s	into possibly super light I think he
5951s	might have just caught it just perfectly
5953s	as he's leaving Prescott um very
5955s	intriguing ring of color around him
5957s	there with Prescott in the background
5959s	but it is a very nice screenshot to to
5961s	kick off so uh well done to Speedy Sam
5963s	we've got a few from him as well and the
5965s	a few of the other legends that keep
5966s	popping in with our great screenshots
5969s	every week so uh yeah some wonderful
5971s	stuff some wonderful stuff so Eric hit
5974s	me with those questions not literally uh
5977s	yeah of course of course so this one's
5978s	going back to the art book really quick
5980s	but just wanting to uh provide the
5982s	answer to all our folks at home uh
5984s	Gordon Holland asks on YouTube how much
5987s	is the art
5988s	book I don't believe we've set the price
5991s	yet yet um if we have I'm unaware of it
5994s	but um we haven't no uh as soon as we
5997s	again have the information when it's
5998s	available we'll be letting you know the
6000s	price and everything um it's excellent
6003s	thing I mean I'm just showing it off I'm
6004s	not trying to you know entice you with
6006s	it or anything you know obviously not
6008s	but yeah there's some there's some
6009s	wonderful concept art uh in the book you
6011s	know all wonderful done by various
6013s	concept artists in the team breakdowns
6016s	of all the various ships and their
6018s	various tiers um even the gunship one of
6021s	my favorites obviously and then all the
6023s	different Interiors of various things
6025s	that we worked on all the different
6028s	characters all the different cinematics
6030s	it breaks down so many wonderful things
6033s	uh how you see that they developed from
6034s	concept art onto uh your screens uh from
6038s	the various team I'll try not to do too
6040s	many spoilers but it even goes through
6042s	all the systems as well so you can see
6043s	all the various stuff on there so
6045s	definitely worthwhile 280 plus of a
6049s	art book worthwhile but as soon as we
6051s	have detail will let
6053s	you thank you I'm not on commission by
6055s	the
6057s	way next question comes from late volley
6061s	over on Twitch okay and a period
6063s	jam-packed with huge space game releases
6066s	like Starfield Elite dangerous no man's
6068s	Sky Etc how does it feel to know that
6070s	you and your team outdid them all oo
6074s	that's a very B claim I mean some of
6076s	those games I mean um some people don't
6079s	like them some people think they're
6080s	great we have a lot of love for the
6082s	space genre in in general whether it's
6084s	elite dangerous uh no man's Sky
6088s	Starfield Star Citizen we just love that
6091s	there's focus on Space games um there
6094s	was a period quite a little while ago
6097s	where it wasn't a a genre that people
6100s	were producing but to see so many games
6102s	focused on uh expansive worlds outside
6106s	of our solar system it's it's great
6108s	because it's not only for oing you could
6110s	say oh but that game game's going to
6111s	over Shadow yours it actually brings
6113s	Focus to us as well because it's another
6115s	game within that genre for people to say
6118s	that they really like our game best out
6120s	of everything
6123s	it's an amazing feeling to be fair and
6127s	you know we get the praise on the
6128s	streams and I'm sure people like ingar
6130s	and U and uh Casper and teas and
6134s	everybody else that works on on the team
6136s	and I mean there's a plethora of people
6138s	to hear um the prayers that we receive
6141s	from you guys we do pass it on by the
6143s	way we do post it up into our internal
6145s	discussions so we get to see or they get
6148s	to see what you guys are saying so thank
6151s	you very much uh for for the whole team
6153s	for for what you praise us with and
6155s	we're very very receptive to that praise
6157s	and this is why we work so hard and so
6159s	diligently to produce a very very good
6162s	game um we think it is anyway some
6164s	people will disagree but you can't
6165s	please everybody but that's that's our
6167s	aim anyway so um thank you very very
6170s	much from from the bottom of our hearts
6172s	I feel like this is an Oscar ceremony or
6174s	something but yes very much well
6176s	received thank you very much yeah and
6179s	just to add to that I mean you said te's
6181s	a number of times I just wanted to
6182s	elevate te's for a moment um because
6185s	that man truly has done incredible work
6187s	on the side of ux and UI design so
6191s	that's going to be all the user
6192s	interface this this man is an absolute
6194s	Legend he's the one who's making it so
6196s	easy for you to understand just by
6198s	seeing a symbol on the screen what that
6202s	does and how that conveys to uh the
6207s	message that's needed for all other
6209s	aspects of the game like this this man
6210s	is is an absolute Allstar so just want
6213s	to raise tease up um he he's fantastic
6217s	and of course all of our our team
6219s	members are great but I just wanted to
6220s	to honor him in particular in this
6223s	moment um just the number of
6224s	conversations I've had with him and and
6226s	bringing all this together it's it's
6228s	really good um I also wanted to mention
6230s	as as well and you kind of touched on
6232s	this we are so appreciative of other
6236s	Sci-Fi games because they all feed into
6239s	each other they all will it's a it's a
6243s	call back right and so um you know even
6246s	even when Starfield was coming out um
6249s	you know at first we were a little
6250s	hesitant cuz you know it's like Bethesda
6252s	big title blah blah blah like what's
6253s	this going to look like how's this going
6254s	to do and a lot of eyes just went over
6257s	to space games in general right like
6260s	where where can get my space game kick
6262s	and people went to Starfield some people
6264s	loved it some people hated it um and
6267s	that gave us attention it's it's
6269s	wonderful it it truly is a blessing to
6273s	be able to work alongside these very big
6276s	names in some cases uh to keep doing
6278s	what we love and to produce content that
6281s	really there isn't a lot of out there
6284s	space games are a bit of a niche and
6286s	we're thankful for the support that you
6288s	guys have given us to do what we do yeah
6291s	absolutely absolutely it's it's a kind
6293s	of a dream come true for for a lot of
6294s	people me especially uh to now work in
6297s	uh with the games company that produces
6300s	a space game you know my earliest Years
6302s	of Gaming is you know predominantly
6304s	around the original Elite yes you know I
6306s	was around in 1984 and and everything
6308s	and that's that dragged me in you know
6311s	uh and now to work with uh with Rockfish
6314s	uh of all what Rockfish making a game
6317s	that is so popular we you know it's a
6319s	dream come true so uh Absol absolutely
6321s	uh we we appreciate your um your input
6324s	your responses and everything else so uh
6326s	yeah hopefully we shall carry on for
6328s	much longer much longer and I shall just
6330s	switch to the next screenshot which is
6332s	from uh the wonderful XL now if you know
6335s	xl's
6337s	work phenomenal when it comes to
6340s	Galactic photography um that's why he is
6342s	one of the galactic photographers on our
6344s	Discord um you can see the effort and
6347s	the uh position that he puts into his um
6352s	his screen captures uh of the game um
6355s	you have the dramatic effect of the
6356s	redness of the ship you know
6358s	supplemented by the the the piercing
6360s	yellow of the star of the system um and
6363s	definitely pesky I can see the light at
6365s	the end of the tunnel so absolutely a
6367s	very uh very very good one I'll just
6369s	flick through to the next one which is
6372s	again from Exel uh and I think Eric H
6374s	chose this one simply because of the
6376s	work that he's put in here uh to try and
6380s	get thatx matched up with the looping of
6382s	that ship perfectly oh yeah with the uh
6386s	with the asteroid belt around the the
6389s	planet I mean that is some work to do
6391s	that that is some work um and they've
6395s	taken time to to create this and show it
6397s	off so we're very appreciative of of
6399s	even things like this people might not
6401s	think oh screenshots it's screenshots
6403s	but these things do take a lot of work
6405s	for a lot of people and we're very very
6406s	thankful on that so uh yeah it's it's an
6409s	amazing screenshot so I'll just
6411s	transition to the next one they can fire
6413s	another question at me this one's from
6415s	Speedy Sam
6418s	again love it so I got a question from
6421s	Flory over on Twitch with everspace 2
6424s	evolving and new content in the future
6426s	is it likely that there will be uh
6428s	everspace 2 artbook 2 and in the realm
6431s	of only new stuff or rather an even
6433s	larger version than the one now this one
6436s	was answered by Lee so I'm also going to
6438s	read this response too so everybody kind
6440s	of understands Lee says we'll see if we
6443s	blow through the first printing of the
6444s	art book and there is still demand if
6446s	something it's something we can look at
6448s	depending on the amount of content we
6450s	may also consider doing a digital only
6452s	version alongside the expansion it's too
6455s	early to say but if we go either of both
6457s	routes we'll be sure to shout about it
6460s	from the
6461s	rooftops wow that that would be quite
6463s	cool that really would be nice to see if
6465s	we could do it but again um it's it's an
6467s	if it's a big if you know we'll we shall
6469s	see it as Le's quite R said there but uh
6472s	you know that would be a cool thing to
6473s	have you know we shall see in the future
6475s	we never know what it holds but uh fers
6480s	crossed yeah so this one's from Speedy
6482s	Sam wonderful shot he's having issues
6484s	with some Webber drones by the look of
6486s	it um but yeah very good perspective um
6489s	of that it's not one that you normally
6491s	see but a great shot from him I'll just
6493s	transition over to uh this one's from
6496s	another one of our Galactic
6497s	photographers a wonderful Talent called
6499s	the chemical bro
6501s	um that's a very shiny ship very shiny
6504s	ship I'm loving the Chrome and again
6506s	just the the detail with the different
6508s	ship engine colors great that looks like
6511s	nefty as well uh or around there
6513s	anywhere great place uh for for your
6515s	screenshots as well so anything else
6518s	anything
6520s	else we've got a question from Stig
6523s	three on Twitch what's the biggest thing
6525s	you guys can promote for early players
6527s	to return for new
6529s	content
6532s	bit of a pointed question but you know
6534s	yeah well I think we we're with our
6538s	focus on updating to Unreal Engine 5
6541s	we're not abandoned in the game um we
6544s	wouldn't be putting in this work if we
6545s	didn't feel that there was um a good
6549s	basis for more content to come in the
6551s	game um we've obviously got the the
6554s	update the free update coming um in the
6557s	spring called incursions so we're
6559s	already telling you that that's coming
6561s	um and you know people know that there's
6563s	going to be a premium paid DLC or sorry
6566s	an expansion uh down the line as well um
6570s	so yeah I think it's the the work that
6572s	we're putting in now it just shows that
6574s	we're planning to stick around we're not
6576s	going to be one of those here's the game
6578s	we're done with it say yeah we've got
6579s	your money we don't want to do that we
6581s	we've got a good product here ever space
6583s	one was fantastic everspace 2 is great
6586s	it's fantastic as well and then we want
6588s	to build on that so absolutely we are
6590s	not um we're not disappearing anytime
6593s	soon so content to come what that looks
6595s	like you'll have to wait and
6599s	see right so great work there from
6602s	chemical bro next up flicking back again
6605s	to the wonderful
6606s	EXL he can do wonders uh in uh composing
6611s	a great screenshot again I loving the
6613s	colors of the ships with the red and the
6615s	the light blue I think that's is that
6617s	the sky blue engine color I'm trying to
6619s	work out what he got on the thrusters uh
6622s	from the various um drops that you can
6625s	get uh for the engines which is by doing
6627s	the challenges uh as well so uh great
6630s	shot there we'll progress on
6633s	to winged nightmare uh he loves his
6636s	collage um of very nice uh ships and
6640s	he's got his wonderful collection in a
6641s	variety of places from various angles
6644s	and uh a great collection from Wing
6646s	nightmare very very very nice very very
6648s	nice another question do we have
6651s	comes from Stig three again on Twitch
6654s	and the question is
6657s	um uh do you have an opinion
6662s	on hang on a second I kind of had to
6664s	translate the question um so I believe
6667s	it's asking um if we have an opinion on
6672s	how early access um created hurdles for
6677s	the game or
6678s	not I think we we've always seen Early
6681s	Access as a very positive um because it
6684s	has allowed us to develop the game in
6688s	conjunction with our player base and
6690s	which isn't a bad thing um you know some
6693s	developers won do it we see it as a um a
6696s	good thing you know the input from the
6699s	community um has been great all the way
6702s	through it's like oh yeah we think this
6703s	is good we think this is bad and and you
6705s	hear that feedback yes sometimes the the
6709s	I think the downside would be B players
6711s	would potentially think oh you haven't
6714s	listened to me um but we do listen but
6717s	we can't always Implement everything
6718s	that is put forward from uh a player it
6721s	might not be just technically possible
6723s	for the team to do or something like
6724s	that so sometimes you have to manage the
6726s	expectations about what can come from
6728s	Early Access but I think overall I don't
6730s	know if Michael was here he'd probably
6732s	say the same is that he would feel that
6733s	early access is a good tool for a
6735s	development of a game um I know Eric
6738s	you've been around uh uh here a lot
6740s	longer than I have and you've seen how
6742s	we've developed through Early Access uh
6744s	so I think seen
6746s	things so I I think it's it's a good
6749s	tool for us to um to work with and uh
6753s	you know develop the game with the
6755s	community's help and that's you know
6757s	something also we're very very thankful
6759s	of it has helped us immensely
6762s	immensely beautiful I shall switch on to
6766s	the next screenshot and this one is from
6768s	grindle uh our wonderful um I think this
6772s	is one of the cargo drones that appears
6774s	from time to time um that you have to
6776s	chase down if I remember correctly
6778s	they're very distinct um look out for
6781s	their red trails and if you can catch up
6784s	with them and if you can take them down
6785s	you may get something decent from them
6787s	you'd have to uh you'd have to see so
6791s	yeah very nice shot from grindle another
6793s	one from XL and I think this is a
6796s	brilliant one it was a very uh festive
6799s	themed I think it just popped just
6801s	before uh we broke up for the Christmas
6803s	period or just afterwards and uh
6806s	yeah if that doesn't look like a a
6809s	Nordic Christmas tree then I don't know
6811s	what does a great piece of artwork from
6813s	EXL again they do great work and it does
6816s	take a good amount of time to compose
6818s	these get the right colors get the right
6820s	shape get the perspective right um but
6824s	you guys can take wonderful screenshots
6826s	even by just going into photo mode uh
6828s	with your your zedk wherever you are uh
6832s	perfect perfect um yeah wonderful
6833s	screenshot so as a transition onto the
6835s	next one which we'll talk about in a
6837s	second if you have a question for me
6840s	Eric next question comes from late
6843s	volley on Twitch will we ever get to see
6846s	outside the DMZ or is Adam forever
6849s	trapped
6850s	inside that would be very telling
6852s	wouldn't it who knows um we've got a lot
6855s	planned um but that would be for the
6859s	future again very very vague uh I think
6861s	everybody's appreciative yes I'm sure
6863s	you all want to know what's going you
6865s	you want to know because you're
6866s	interested and we're very appreciative
6867s	of that however we can't always tell you
6869s	what's coming because either it hasn't
6871s	been created or we're not at Liberty to
6873s	say just yet so who knows we shall we
6876s	shall
6878s	see uh this qu sorry this screenshot was
6881s	from uh Adam GD over on our
6885s	Discord now as you can see they had a
6888s	bit of an oopsy uh just a small one uh I
6891s	think they took 11 B
6893s	67878 416 damage to the ship I don't
6897s	think any um Shield or aluminium Hull
6900s	would survive that unfortunately so uh I
6903s	think it was I think they flew into the
6907s	uh uh the planet poon's
6910s	wound just you know just just for
6912s	science I think it was and uh yes uh I I
6916s	think the planet won to be fair on that
6918s	one so yeah he didn't uh
6920s	he didn't uh come out with that uh
6923s	battle unscathed unfortunately he
6925s	definitely um definitely lost that war
6927s	so yeah next up is one that we've uh got
6931s	from Steam uh demon um over on there uh
6936s	fabulous shot I thought this one I love
6938s	the contrast between the red coloration
6940s	of the ships and then obviously if you
6942s	know the story where this was the
6944s	screenshot was taken then you know the
6946s	uh the instance that they're in uh but
6948s	it's a very very cool screen shot and I
6950s	like the fact that it's not just
6952s	straight top down that it's actually
6954s	angled at about 45° as well so it gives
6956s	a very cool element uh or an emphasis on
6960s	the speed uh and there the area that
6962s	they're in very very cool shot very cool
6965s	shot anything else anything else we've
6968s	got last question comes from Sasha h on
6972s	YouTube If is there any way to transfer
6975s	a PC save file to PlayStation
6979s	5 fortunately on that no um the only
6983s	option of any form of transfer between
6986s	game saves and that is between the Xbox
6990s	and the PC game pass because they share
6993s	the save files it's there in close
6996s	system on Xbox so it's a game pass
6998s	variant uh a play Anywhere title which
7001s	means that the saves are compatible with
7003s	PC game pass and Xbox uh sadly outside
7006s	of that we can't transfer any form of um
7010s	game save between the various uh
7012s	platforms it's just not possible for us
7014s	to do that unfortunately so if you are
7016s	playing through on PlayStation 5 then
7018s	that's One Singular save and then if
7020s	you're playing on PC that's going to be
7021s	a separate singular uh game save as well
7024s	so uh yeah unfortunately not I would
7027s	like to would like to add one little
7029s	tidbit to that um so uh just for the
7032s	folks out there like if you're using
7034s	good old games Gog or steam um and then
7037s	you wanted to cycle to like PC Game Pass
7041s	um you actually can manually move save
7044s	files around uh to do that but as Gary
7048s	mentioned we do not have like cross-
7051s	saave compatibility across like all of
7053s	the different platforms that is not
7055s	something that we are in the business of
7056s	doing it can get very messy very fast um
7059s	if you are operating almost exclusively
7061s	from a PC though and say like you you
7064s	got Steam and then you're like oh man I
7065s	want to get this on on PC game pass um
7068s	poke around the forms a little bit but
7070s	you'll see that someu Community persons
7072s	um have found some uh little tricks uh
7075s	and ways to uh transfer that over but
7077s	again it's not uh keeping the saves on
7080s	both sides you're basically putting it
7082s	from one to another so we do not have
7085s	any type of cross- save compatibility
7087s	which I think is the bulk of the
7088s	question um just making that very
7090s	abundantly clear yeah very very much so
7093s	yeah right next up uh a great shot from
7096s	Kooker over on Steam um initially I just
7100s	thought oh this is just a planet but
7101s	then you realize that they're using the
7103s	structure as almost like uh a holding
7106s	point for like it's some kind of globe
7108s	or some kind of a desktop kind of
7110s	ornament thing uh that's really really
7113s	cool shot um I'm trying to actually work
7115s	out where it's actually taken because it
7117s	seems to have one of the special
7119s	bypasses there uh but yeah wonderful
7121s	shot there from crookers if you do have
7124s	any more questions dive in with them cuz
7127s	we a few minutes out from the end of the
7129s	stream and you want to get them answer
7130s	if we can uh next up uh a couple of all
7133s	of screenshots again from Steam but this
7135s	time from
7137s	alaram um I just love the swirling and
7140s	then we've got the Outlaws coming after
7142s	I think it looks like elic in the
7144s	distance I'm not entirely sure I think
7145s	is elic by the looks of it um so yes I I
7149s	just love that the your attention is
7151s	drawn to the uh to the shots fired um
7155s	over on your left and then we've got a
7157s	kind of webbed um uh Outlaw Scout
7160s	chasing you down as well so uh yeah very
7163s	very nice and then our last screenshot
7165s	of the day again comes from alaram uh we
7168s	did feature this on one of our
7170s	screenshot showcases which we put out on
7172s	the social media which is a selection of
7174s	screenshots um from the community that
7177s	we put onto our social media uh this one
7179s	looks a hellishly messy um screenshot
7183s	but it's the void swarm in action um it
7185s	looks like somebody's just thrown
7186s	Barbarians at the screen but yeah this
7188s	is this is the void swarm uh in action
7191s	doing its damage to that poor Outlaw
7193s	Scout I don't think he's realized what
7194s	hit him there but yeah it's uh uh a
7197s	wonderful screenshot from alaram again
7200s	over on there do we have any more
7202s	questions Eric or we all done I've got
7205s	one more question came from husky over
7207s	on YouTube asks when will the art book
7210s	be available in more countries
7212s	worldwide um I'm not entirely sure on
7215s	that um Lee maybe I'll transfer that at
7218s	a certain point um if we can have it
7221s	available as far as wide as possible
7223s	then we will as soon as we can get it to
7226s	uh the various places that going to be
7227s	selling them for us but we're still
7230s	waiting on those to get there again uh
7233s	just keep your ear to the ground we will
7235s	give you information as soon as we're
7236s	able to once they're available once
7238s	they're ready to be on sale for you all
7241s	then we'll be notifying you uh singing
7244s	it from the rooftops because we do want
7246s	you to get your hands on it again I'm
7248s	just going to show it one last time time
7250s	it is a fantastic book yeah I know just
7252s	it's backwards but you know flip screen
7255s	but it is a fantastic art book it's not
7257s	one of those you know I think our
7259s	original designer 52 um page booklet
7263s	wouldn't have done the the game justice
7265s	so I think uh what we see uh within the
7268s	Out book um is fantastic with all the
7270s	concept stuff uh and looking at things
7273s	such as ships and Equipment I'm moving
7275s	myself out the way but yeah you can see
7276s	it's it's a double page uh you could
7280s	almost call it a bit of a leviathan
7282s	because it's big and heavy um and with
7284s	the developer stor is in there from
7287s	myself Eric's in there Lee's in there
7289s	Hans Christian's in there uh lots of
7292s	people in there telling their story
7293s	about everything uh to do with every
7296s	space to the development and also
7298s	obviously the the the main focus of the
7300s	art book so yeah uh as soon as we get to
7303s	or Le just put in on the twitch aming to
7306s	get the book out to the major hubs like
7307s	USA Canada Germany UK France Etc and it
7310s	should be available soon after that
7312s	we'll see what it'll take to make it
7314s	available any places we've missed so
7317s	hopefully that kind of gives you a
7318s	little bit more information um on uh on
7321s	where it's going to be available when
7323s	that is we we will definitely get you
7325s	notified and get you all um up to speed
7328s	on where you can grab it but we shall
7331s	see uh so before sorry sorry quick quick
7334s	comment I I I noticed well he said that
7337s	we're aiming to get to the major hubs
7338s	but then he listed Canada that's kind of
7340s	that's kind of strange I feel oh there's
7342s	a North American fight going on in a
7344s	second yeah there may be some Bloodshed
7347s	the North Americans are going to be
7348s	fighting you know we get to be we're all
7352s	Canadian by the way for anybody who
7354s	doesn't know is fired yeah we had it at
7357s	first he's
7358s	[Laughter]
7362s	gone you see what you started you say
7364s	you you take all those Canadians W they
7368s	they have to deal with those polar bears
7370s	uh but yes um we're going to wrap it up
7373s	there uh just a reminder if you are on
7374s	PlayStation 5 there's a current sale on
7376s	now where you can grab the game at 30%
7379s	discount if you are indeed a PlayStation
7382s	Plus subscriber then you can get an
7383s	extra 10% off on top of that so you get
7385s	a nice discount of
7388s	40% on uh on the PlayStation 5 which is
7391s	very very nice um so yeah we're doing
7395s	some diligent work on our upgrade to
7397s	Unreal Engine 5 it's going to take a
7399s	while we've got lots of bugs we showed
7400s	you some of those bugs always good fun
7403s	but uh I hope you realize that we're
7405s	doing some great work behind the scenes
7407s	uh to benefit the game and in the long
7409s	term benefit you boys and girls because
