| 0s | today i'm here with anton how are you |
|---|---|
| 2s | doing today anton hello ben said thanks |
| 4s | i'm doing good and you i'm doing well as |
| 6s | well it's just a super hot day here in |
| 8s | frankfurt but we are here to talk about |
| 11s | our upcoming event serpent moon and tell |
| 13s | you a bit about our highlights for the |
| 14s | event uh as you know the serpent moon is |
| 17s | coming and probably it will be our |
| 19s | biggest and longest event so far yeah |
| 21s | and the event will also feature brand |
| 23s | new mechanics and systematic changes as |
| 25s | well to progression and we will also |
| 27s | have a developer live stream later today |
| 29s | so make sure to tune in to that for more |
| 31s | information and to ask all your |
| 33s | questions but without further ado let's |
| 35s | dive into certain moves but before we |
| 37s | dive into all the changes let's talk |
| 39s | about how these events are made could |
| 40s | you tell us about them basically it's |
| 42s | quite you know long and interesting |
| 44s | process between many different |
| 46s | departments so uh like let's say we have |
| 49s | a game design we have live design we |
| 51s | have narrative we have artist coders and |
| 53s | you know like every people who are |
| 54s | involved in the development so uh like |
| 57s | how it usually works is that you know we |
| 59s | came up with a like specific concept |
| 61s | about the event and well as you can see |
| 64s | recently we had this uh like moon theme |
| 67s | you know like it started with the |
| 68s | previous event so basically the |
| 71s | narrative came up like with the concept |
| 73s | and then we |
| 75s | developed that further with the |
| 77s | live design and game design to you know |
| 79s | basically cover all the parts uh |
| 81s | regarding this event community has been |
| 83s | asking for new gameplay changes during |
| 84s | events so could you tell us why we |
| 86s | haven't changed anything so far and what |
| 88s | we can expect from serpent moon |
| 90s | the thing is that uh developing the |
| 92s | whole event uh it might seem as a you |
| 95s | know like very easy thing to do but in |
| 98s | fact it's required a lot of people you |
| 100s | know like just to sit together and work |
| 102s | together so it's a in fact it's a very |
| 104s | massive process you know sometimes we |
| 105s | just have you know like other priorities |
| 107s | or maybe like another other features to |
| 110s | develop so it's all about the team |
| 113s | bandwidth and stuff |
| 115s | but we |
| 116s | always considered our events as a you |
| 118s | know like as a some kind of a playground |
| 120s | or something where we can you know |
| 122s | experiment and try something out so you |
| 124s | could see that you know like from the |
| 126s | live design perspective maybe with the |
| 127s | past events now we are like finally at |
| 130s | this point when where we can uh you know |
| 132s | try and experiment maybe more with the |
| 134s | gameplay changes as well as uh on with a |
| 138s | live design changes i'm really happy to |
| 140s | hear that and i'm sure the community |
| 142s | will appreciate as well but then could |
| 144s | you tell us about the new gameplay |
| 145s | changes in this event a lot of our |
| 147s | players are already familiar with the |
| 149s | concept that we had in a previous event |
| 151s | when you basically where you basically |
| 153s | had to you know collect stuff and |
| 154s | destroy this object so with this event i |
| 157s | wouldn't say that it's completely |
| 160s | different from that but we added one |
| 162s | very interesting feature in there that |
| 165s | hopefully will change the gameplay |
| 167s | perception and you know like the way how |
| 169s | people do play the game instead of uh |
| 171s | this uh like standard objects that you |
| 174s | know people are used to destroy we will |
| 176s | have uh snake dance |
| 179s | so it's like uh snake baskets or |
| 181s | something with the snakes inside players |
| 184s | will have to |
| 185s | communicate or interact maybe with these |
| 188s | snakes and |
| 190s | they have to approach them very |
| 191s | carefully you know like just not to |
| 193s | scare them because if you approach them |
| 196s | really fast they work you know somewhat |
| 198s | similar to horses or maybe crows so you |
| 201s | need to do it you know like very very |
| 203s | sneaky in a sneaky way so this snake |
| 206s | basket sounds really cool and very |
| 208s | interactive for the players but could |
| 209s | you also tell us how you actually earn |
| 211s | points in this event as i mentioned with |
| 213s | this snake dance or snake baskets uh |
| 216s | basically you need to approach them and |
| 217s | you know interact them with like very |
| 219s | carefully because they actually can bite |
| 221s | you and |
| 223s | you can get poisoned if you carefully |
| 225s | approach them and interact with them you |
| 227s | can get event points as usual but uh |
| 230s | this uh like poisonous effect it's not |
| 232s | like the only gameplay thing that we |
| 234s | have |
| 235s | so uh together with the event points you |
| 238s | also can get snake tokens snake tokens |
| 241s | uh okay that sounds completely new uh |
| 243s | what can you do with the tokens that you |
| 245s | get so with this snake tokens uh |
| 248s | basically you cannot just extract from |
| 250s | the mission with them because in this |
| 252s | case you will just like lose them to get |
| 254s | event points out of the sneak tokens you |
| 257s | need to deliver them to the altars |
| 259s | and sacrifice the snakes on this altar |
| 262s | these altars they are placed |
| 265s | very close to the |
| 266s | boss compounds boss layers by doing this |
| 269s | we are trying to |
| 271s | influence the core gameplay a little bit |
| 274s | everything is designed in a way to kind |
| 276s | of |
| 277s | navigate people through the level |
| 278s | towards the final goal and basically the |
| 281s | final goal for the game is to kill the |
| 284s | boss get the bounty and extract from the |
| 286s | mission by collecting the snakes |
| 288s | basically our players will |
| 290s | have to go towards the boss layer and |
| 293s | potentially |
| 294s | you know fight meet other people it will |
| 296s | be very fun to see how it changes the |
| 299s | whole flow of the game and how it |
| 300s | creates more encounters uh close to the |
| 302s | boss compounds but what about pvp so how |
| 306s | can players earn points by |
| 308s | interacting with each other for example |
| 310s | if |
| 311s | you are killed |
| 313s | and |
| 314s | another hunter tried to loot you he will |
| 316s | get not only event points but also all |
| 319s | the snakes that |
| 321s | you collected before by doing this we |
| 323s | also try to you know spice up a little |
| 325s | bit this interaction between players |
| 327s | yeah this definitely encourages more pvp |
| 329s | in general to get all the tokens you can |
| 330s | get yes yes that's true but uh yeah |
| 333s | again it's like not the only to sold |
| 336s | snake baskets and uh enemy hunters they |
| 338s | are not the only |
| 340s | sources for event points as usual we |
| 343s | will have our classic clues |
| 345s | and for killing bosses for example you |
| 348s | also will get event points and snakes as |
| 350s | well all the gameplay changes sound |
| 352s | really fun and i also can't wait to try |
| 354s | them out myself but for more detailed |
| 356s | insight please tune in to our devstream |
| 358s | later where we'll explain everything and |
| 360s | show examples of each of these mechanics |
| 362s | anton just mentioned but that's not the |
| 364s | only things we changed with this event |
| 366s | we also overhauled the whole progression |
| 368s | so could you tell a bit about that and |
| 370s | how that works this time so yeah that's |
| 373s | true the gameplay is like not the only |
| 375s | thing that we changed so |
| 376s | for the first time ever in hunt we are |
| 380s | introducing the battle pass system |
| 382s | and uh yeah this thing is kind of new |
| 385s | for us we never tried that but uh |
| 388s | well that's also kind of experiment for |
| 391s | us and yeah we will see how it works but |
| 394s | uh basically so to explain a little bit |
| 396s | how it works uh we will have two |
| 399s | different progressions one is free and |
| 401s | other one is gilded path everyone can |
| 404s | get all the rewards from the free |
| 406s | progression for free just by playing the |
| 409s | game so they collect event points they |
| 411s | progress so at any point like within |
| 415s | your progression for example you are at |
| 417s | level 10 in the progression |
| 419s | you can just purchase the gilded path |
| 422s | access |
| 423s | and with this gilded path |
| 426s | access |
| 427s | you can unlock everything |
| 429s | that you already get from like previous |
| 433s | levels so if you're on the level 10 you |
| 435s | can get everything from level 1 to level |
| 438s | 10 basically |
| 439s | that's how it works the gilded path |
| 442s | battle pass system sounds very |
| 443s | interesting and we are excited to hear |
| 445s | your feedback as well as we mentioned |
| 447s | this is our biggest and longest event so |
| 449s | far so players will have actually 60 |
| 451s | days to complete the progression so |
| 453s | you'll have a bunch of time during the |
| 455s | summer to finish this event and i also |
| 458s | heard that there's a lot of rewards this |
| 460s | time could you tell us about that well |
| 462s | event will be you know quite long and |
| 465s | it's actually our first take so where |
| 467s | maybe we're trying to go towards you |
| 469s | know season system or something like |
| 470s | that it's a little spoiler but |
| 474s | uh yeah so uh yes for this event uh well |
| 478s | first of all we will have two brand new |
| 480s | weapons |
| 481s | uh the sparks pistol and the |
| 485s | romero 77 alamo uh we will have more |
| 489s | than 1000 blood bones in this |
| 491s | progression also we will have uh nine |
| 495s | uh new legendary items like weapons and |
| 498s | uh tools and consumables so a lot of new |
| 502s | stuff to play i think i think we |
| 504s | never had that many you know for the |
| 505s | event and we will have the first |
| 509s | evolving hunter it has uh four different |
| 512s | stages you just like play the game |
| 514s | normally you progress through the event |
| 516s | to unlock these stages and every stage |
| 519s | of this hunter looks you know more and |
| 521s | more badass it actually you know |
| 522s | corresponds a little bit with the story |
| 524s | itself because uh we also have a |
| 528s | big story for this event and well i know |
| 532s | that we |
| 533s | had the story in a previous event so |
| 536s | this story is kind of you know |
| 537s | follow the same uh |
| 540s | the same idea and uh yeah probably will |
| 544s | know more about you know like characters |
| 545s | that you already know and maybe about |
| 547s | the mr cherry himself i can already hear |
| 549s | that the new hunter will be called viper |
| 552s | and they are super cool so it's going to |
| 554s | be a lot of fun to play with them and |
| 556s | try them out in the bayou and yeah the |
| 558s | story is going to continue the story of |
| 560s | the previous event traitor moon and the |
| 562s | serpent moon will be here we'll have |
| 565s | actually a lot of videos to show you |
| 566s | guys explaining the story as well so |
| 569s | please check that out and also within |
| 572s | the game read the lore because we have a |
| 574s | lot of great stories to tell homes so |
| 576s | now we have learned all about the |
| 577s | gameplay changes the progression changes |
| 579s | in the serpent moon but hunt always has |
| 582s | some sort of booster mechanics added to |
| 584s | its events so could you tell us about |
| 586s | how these will work in serpent moon |
| 588s | yeah so uh for this event uh i mean |
| 591s | everyone who played our previous event |
| 592s | the trader moon uh there is like not |
| 595s | that many changes |
| 596s | in terms of you know boosters and stuff |
| 598s | so we will have our standard classic |
| 600s | cherries contract |
| 602s | and we will have four |
| 605s | hunters for legendary hunters to boost |
| 608s | your event points even more two of them |
| 611s | will be dlc hunters the first one would |
| 613s | be the witch hunter from the they came |
| 616s | from selling dlc and another one would |
| 619s | be the prescient from depression night |
| 622s | dlc which will be released together with |
| 624s | the event but we also will have two |
| 627s | bloodborne hunters |
| 628s | and |
| 629s | these two blood one hunters would be the |
| 632s | knights here who was i think one of the |
| 634s | first our bloodborne content right yeah |
| 637s | if i'm not wrong i think uh he was |
| 639s | released with the 1.0 uh |
| 641s | yeah and the second one would be hail |
| 644s | mary so with uh these hunters you will |
| 647s | get some extra points what else uh we |
| 650s | will have signee trait uh also like some |
| 653s | of our players are already familiar with |
| 655s | that it's just a special event trait |
| 658s | which will be available only during the |
| 660s | event and it will also |
| 662s | boost your event points and |
| 665s | will increase the dark side range a |
| 667s | little bit so you will |
| 669s | find uh you know the event objects a bit |
| 672s | easier |
| 673s | and |
| 674s | beside that we will have three more uh |
| 678s | event uh |
| 680s | not really event unique but uh |
| 683s | three traits that we usually have in |
| 685s | game but they will be boosted for the |
| 687s | event so these traits would be the |
| 690s | serpent rate |
| 692s | and it will help you to sacrifice your |
| 695s | snakes to the altars you know from the |
| 697s | distance |
| 698s | the other one would be the poison sense |
| 702s | which will help you to track enemy |
| 705s | hunters uh poisoned enemy hunters from |
| 708s | bigger distance |
| 709s | and the last one would be the beast |
| 711s | phase and the beast face will help you |
| 713s | to approach the snake dances you know |
| 716s | much faster and you know maybe with a |
| 719s | less chance |
| 720s | of like |
| 722s | being uh poisoned i'm kind of seeing a |
| 724s | theme here all these traits are |
| 725s | connected to the poison thing so yeah |
| 727s | that is definitely very fitting for |
| 729s | serpent moon so we heard all about the |
| 731s | serpent moon event now how the |
| 733s | progression works about all the gameplay |
| 735s | changes all the cool rewards is there |
| 736s | anything else you would like to add |
| 739s | uh actually yes so uh some of our |
| 741s | players they're already familiar with |
| 743s | this like overspill system basically |
| 745s | when you complete the event and you get |
| 748s | all the rewards from the event you could |
| 750s | still play to you know get a bit more |
| 752s | event points and get some home dollars |
| 755s | in return |
| 756s | so for this event we decided to make |
| 758s | this thing a little bit more challenging |
| 760s | and maybe competitive |
| 762s | so uh we introduced this uh cherries |
| 766s | hunter thing basically it works as a |
| 769s | leader board and you need to earn event |
| 771s | points to you know like get higher so |
| 773s | basically there are like different uh |
| 776s | tops for players like top one top five |
| 779s | top 25 to 50 top 75 but depending on |
| 782s | like how many event points you have |
| 784s | you can be in a you know different top |
| 787s | so uh we're using this system to |
| 790s | basically give some extra rewards for |
| 792s | players and uh it's you know like |
| 794s | in-game currency like uh hund dollars |
| 796s | and a little bit of blood bones as well |
| 798s | but we deliberately didn't add any |
| 802s | uh you know unique extra content there |
| 804s | because we still want to keep this |
| 807s | leaderboard as you know like just the |
| 809s | optional thing for these people who |
| 811s | maybe you know like want to challenge |
| 813s | themselves and yeah challenge other |
| 815s | people and uh yeah to |
| 818s | you know be in this little important |
| 819s | yeah that sounds great it's an actual |
| 822s | layer of challenge for some people that |
| 823s | are interested in after completing the |
| 825s | event of course |
| 826s | but with that being said we came to the |
| 829s | end of this video thank you anton for |
| 831s | joining me and explaining everything |
| 832s | about evan and make sure to leave your |
| 834s | questions in the comments below and all |
| 836s | your feedback as well we'll have the |
| 837s | dutch stream coming up very soon and we |
| 839s | will try to answer as many questions as |
| 841s | possible we will also have a more |
| 843s | in-depth insight for all the gameplay |
| 845s | changes and mechanics as well and you |
| 846s | can take a closer look at the rewards |
| 848s | too and we will have a q a section at |
| 851s | the very end too where we can go into |
| 853s | details about your questions as well |
