---|---|
2s | um oh shoot |
5s | oh I just like the you you find a bad |
9s | guy at the end yeah I really like how |
12s | that turned out |
14s | [Applause] |
17s | too all right well welcome everyone to |
20s | forged in eternum the show where we talk |
22s | about All Things New World I'm James |
24s | Wong narrative designer for new world |
26s | and I'm joined today by Brian and |
28s | valyria you guys want to introduce |
29s | yourselves I'm Brian patod season's art |
32s | art lead and uh including season 4 hey |
35s | I'm valer and I'm environment artist on |
37s | season's team total rock stars and today |
40s | we're going to be talking about uh the |
43s | story for season 4 Eternal Frost um so |
47s | season 4 uh you know in in New World in |
50s | general I'd say we've met a handful of |
52s | characters from King artorius Court um |
55s | and in season 4 I think we have a lot of |
56s | fun diving into the story of one |
58s | particular night of the round t |
61s | who had a falling out with king artorius |
63s | during the wars of crimson Madness extra |
65s | points if you guys know what listeners |
68s | at home if you know what that is um and |
72s | so he's uh doing everything in his power |
74s | to take down everything that artorius |
76s | loved Humanity |
78s | puppies snowflakes no I don't know |
81s | anyway so uh we're chasing him uh across |
84s | aternum as he tries to recover these |
87s | powerful artifacts um that were used |
90s | long time ago by one of the Ancients to |
93s | create uh Amara or or in their attempts |
96s | to create Amara which are basically like |
97s | trying to deify regular human beings and |
100s | give them god-like Powers um so we go |
103s | into some pretty fun and unique |
105s | locations I'd say in season 4 um so if |
108s | you guys want to share maybe what some |
110s | of the favorites uh that that you worked |
112s | on were yeah without going into too much |
114s | detail or spoiling um I suppose um I I |
118s | worked on a lot of the different quests |
120s | and everything but uh Quest 6 was uh |
122s | pretty special to me um I got that off |
124s | the ground and there was a big uh |
125s | traversal section where we were able to |
128s | kind of dive into one of the existing |
129s | locations in the world and get more |
131s | gameplay out of it instead of just a |
133s | facade and the Vista um we get to to |
136s | kind of get up and interact with it and |
137s | it leads us to a a new location um and I |
142s | won't go into any details well so so |
145s | Quest 6 is is basically where it's it's |
147s | towards the end of the the the story |
149s | line where you're trying to chase after |
152s | um this night of the round table and |
154s | he's he's he's I don't want to spoil |
157s | anything either but um but I think one |
159s | of the things that I liked about that |
161s | that we talked about before is that |
163s | you're basically you're you're breathing |
165s | new life into an existing location uh in |
169s | great cleave can I spoil that I think |
170s | that's |
172s | okay and made it really fun yeah yeah um |
176s | yeah I really enjoy it um because it's |
178s | just again it's something you pass by |
180s | um in last season now it's it's integral |
183s | to the to the actual game yeah and I and |
185s | I feel like there's just so many places |
187s | in eternum that like you know the |
188s | corners of the map that like some some |
191s | Adventures are out there exploring but |
192s | like it it's cool because like you know |
195s | think oh I've been there before like you |
197s | know I I didn't know this was like this |
198s | up here so yeah it's always fun it's |
201s | it's it's fun finding new purpose and |
203s | you know like the entrance to five as |
205s | well just making use of that nice sort |
208s | of composition and that that area |
210s | uh so what are your what are your |
212s | favorites I just like you work in |
215s | multiple areas but um most of the time I |
218s | spent on daichi Quest like okay yeah so |
220s | let me yeah so daichi um daichi Saito is |
224s | a new member of the silver crows uh that |
227s | we recruit in this um in this storyline |
230s | and he's really fun um I you know this |
232s | is like my personal like passion area is |
236s | like Japanese feudal ERA this is like |
238s | the fun of a tourn I think is cuz we can |
240s | bring all these really interesting |
242s | historical you know groups and cultures |
245s | into our stories like you know King in |
249s | the same storyline we have someone from |
251s | king artorius court and then also |
253s | someone from the Japanese fial era yeah |
255s | yeah that's really fun it's awesome to |
256s | have so so few sort of constraints and |
259s | yeaha did a fantastic job in the in the |
262s | quest yeah it's yeah I really like how |
265s | it turns out especially in the beginning |
267s | comic list no spoilers of course but um |
271s | after you enter the area you get into |
274s | another one which is quite um quite |
278s | different comparing to the rest of the |
280s | quest and I think this is what I like |
282s | the most because it still fits the tour |
285s | as in a world but it's a little bit |
287s | different and it portrays the character |
290s | daichi really really nice and unique way |
293s | yeah I think so and I think we can we |
295s | can talk a little bit about the detail |
296s | of that space so like people don't know |
298s | what we're talking about um |
300s | uh it's so we get actually an invitation |
303s | to daichi's Dojo um and so like I think |
306s | yeah you just just knocked it out of the |
307s | park with that one like I didn't even |
309s | realize that we could do were asking for |
312s | hey we'd like to have a dojo like I was |
314s | just picturing like oh it'll just be |
315s | like this like wooden blocks Jenga kind |
319s | of it I decided to it UNL movie and it |
324s | just it it it it gave sort variety to to |
326s | season 4 as well I mean obviously we're |
329s | indexing on the the Frost sort of |
330s | aesthetic and everything but yeah I |
332s | think that that really mixed it up and |
333s | it was just it was a lot of fun to to |
335s | get the variety in yeah and I should say |
337s | that we're we're actually um recruiting |
339s | him partly because he happens to have |
341s | really powerful Fire magic like so he's |
343s | a ronin um that came to aternum and like |
347s | once he got to aternum he studied um at |
350s | a fire temple on AUM and learned Fire |
352s | magic um so I think you know we're we're |
355s | recruiting him for that so that's the |
357s | tie into the to the frost element and |
359s | that reminds me of the the the third |
361s | Quest as well like that was just it came |
363s | out of nowhere it's it's amazing and um |
367s | yeah I'm just I'm super excited to get |
369s | everyone yeah in there yeah so um I and |
372s | you know I feel like we should we can we |
374s | can get into that a little bit as well |
377s | the details I don't want to spoil |
378s | everything but um so so in our um in |
382s | that part of the story basically we're |
384s | going after one of the artifacts that |
386s | that um a king has recovered and it's |
390s | such a powerful artifact that it's |
392s | basically it's and it's centered on the |
394s | power of frost um so that it's driven |
396s | him mad but it's also sort of iced over |
399s | his entire domain like it's basically uh |
402s | you guys created like an |
404s | amazing um island of ice |
408s | essentially credit to tza credit to |
412s | thank yeah what's your favorite uh area |
415s | within that Island um I really liked the |
417s | approach I think she did a bang up job |
419s | there um so many aspects of it honestly |
422s | um and again I just like I don't know I |
424s | guess they can cut it uh spoil which I'm |
427s | known to do but um yeah the approach to |
429s | the castle the the traversal up and in |
432s | and it's just um yeah it's just it was |
435s | yeah it's it was from scratch in in such |
438s | a short amount of time and turned out |
440s | great it looks amazing yeah um yeah I |
443s | think we got a lot a lot of the people |
444s | who' have been play testing even in |
445s | house are just like wow you know like |
447s | I'd like to hang out here yeah you know |
450s | if I could charge charge him a ticket |
452s | fee or something yeah or in real life |
455s | I'd like to hang out in some of these |
456s | things yeah I know how about you Valia |
458s | what was uh what was your favorite space |
460s | on that on that island uh on the island |
463s | it's um it's probably inside of the |
466s | castle the room that you worked in yeah |
468s | of course the room I work on but not |
470s | only uh I actually really like the |
472s | throne area right I don't like the |
475s | lighting there and just in general the |
477s | whole stuff is happening there so yeah |
479s | yes I have a question like for you guys |
481s | so like and and sorry total totally |
483s | didn't prepare |
485s | you but um when you when when we say |
489s | something like hey we'd love to have a |
490s | space where like this or that event |
493s | happens right like how do you guys even |
496s | get started on like what to do you know |
498s | well if we're lucky enough I always uh |
500s | when we can manage concept it's it's |
502s | nice um you know we we always we always |
505s | fight for it and we get we get less than |
506s | we'd like um but yeah um as far as the |
509s | the new spaces it's it's one of my |
512s | downfalls too is is I I love so many of |
514s | the ideas that you guys come up with |
516s | that it's hard for me to start making |
518s | Cuts you know to like hey keep keep |
521s | everything no no no I I I'm like love |
524s | all of these and I want to do them all |
526s | and so it's it's a balancing act trying |
528s | to keep everyone happy um and also just |
531s | um yeah bu building the like helping |
533s | realize you guys' Visions on the from |
535s | The Narrative perspective um I don't |
538s | know if I answered your question |
540s | no but like you know what's the what |
542s | sparks your creativity you know I mean |
544s | would you take a shower I think never um |
548s | no I think pulling rough too like I I've |
550s | traveled a bit and and it's always fun |
552s | to kind of um pull pull reference and |
555s | ideas from that um so I don't know I |
558s | think it really depends on what exact |
560s | location is in in any of the Season |
562s | stories is there any places for I my my |
564s | my head just went to the the castle in |
566s | salsburg which I just love so um that's |
569s | cool |
570s | yeah and like some of the areas on the |
571s | the castle on the island and everything |
573s | kind of reminded me of that as far as |
574s | the open Vistas and everything ni so |
576s | yeah um yeah everything is inspiration |
579s | how how about you what where do you get |
581s | inspiration I'm getting inspiration from |
583s | the story behind you put it so I read |
585s | quite a lot what exactly you put in the |
587s | character I'm trying to kind of reflect |
590s | their I don't |
592s | know their character into the |
594s | environment out this is what happened |
596s | with the for example because ially get |
600s | yeah in terms of the Dodger he is a |
603s | traveler it is his place he's training |
605s | there sometimes he's you know growing |
607s | his uh little bons yeah yeah yeah but in |
611s | general he's not really spending a lot |
612s | of time there so you are supposed to |
616s | notice it and this is the reason why I |
618s | made it I I'm not sure can I share it no |
621s | I think it's okay so I decided to make |
623s | it like overgrown area because he |
626s | doesn't really have a lot of time to |
628s | spend there because I it's huge so he's |
631s | just like our players traveling around |
633s | fighting yeah know I love that I love |
635s | that and like I feel like you know the |
637s | work that you guys do adds back into the |
640s | story especially yeah now that you |
641s | mentioned the dojo I did I really |
643s | appreciated the amount of like effort |
644s | and like story and and everything that |
646s | you again it just sort of cyclical how |
649s | you you the idea comes back and it it |
651s | sort of enhances over time yeah I agree |
654s | I agree okay so I have another question |
656s | for you guys |
658s | like |
661s | what's uh what's a favorite uh Story |
664s | part of the story or favorite character |
666s | that you have that we told so far in |
668s | Seasons I think the the battle at the |
671s | end with um oh shoot |
674s | oh I just like the the you you fight a |
678s | bad guy at the end yeah I really like |
681s | how that turned out too and I I got that |
682s | off the ground and Carlos took it over |
684s | and he just really it's it's so it's so |
687s | fun and sorry this is indexing more in |
689s | the the environment than the character I |
691s | really love the character but just when |
693s | you're you hit a place and I had to go |
695s | off and do this and that and and and |
698s | they kind of like they take it and run |
700s | with it and the collaboration I just I |
703s | just love yeah um yeah cuz it was just |
706s | took it to this level and then he he |
707s | pushed it further so yeah I just I guess |
710s | I love that no I I agree with you no |
712s | like the back and forth that we have on |
714s | our team uh between you know narrative |
717s | and art is just awesome I think like we |
719s | just feed each other like what about |
721s | this yeah that' be great yeah and then |
723s | um papova and tza went into like the the |
726s | part of uh Quest 62 and just hit it with |
729s | like some of the you know the the decor |
732s | and the lighting and the V effects and |
733s | everything and it just yeah it just yeah |
736s | I don't know it's Collective |
739s | work um how about you Valia uh I would |
742s | agree with Brian about like the last |
745s | part of the season but I also really |
747s | like the location prior to that right |
749s | because it's so deep it's so amazing all |
753s | right well that that pretty much brings |
754s | us to our community question and I'd |
757s | like to ask you guys if you could see |
759s | more of Any Given character that's been |
761s | introduced in season so far which one |
