| 0s | silent death team |
|---|---|
| 2s | those are really dark and greedy but |
| 5s | believable yeah I'd say our artists |
| 8s | really love the dark and pretty stuff I |
| 10s | don't know if we've done as much of it I |
| 11s | think we want to do a lot more of it in |
| 13s | the future |
| 13s | [Music] |
| 15s | [Applause] |
| 20s | unfortunate tournament the show where we |
| 21s | talk about all things new world today we |
| 24s | thought it'd be great to talk about |
| 25s | outfits and skins and some of the |
| 26s | process behind that so I'm joined today |
| 28s | by sojin and Gabby so we're going to |
| 31s | talk about skins |
| 33s | so maybe to kick it off I think it'd be |
| 35s | great to talk about maybe just some of |
| 36s | the process like what are the steps we |
| 38s | go through when we're designing skins |
| 39s | like who looks at them what kind of |
| 41s | stuff do we talk about when we are |
| 43s | designing skins we want it to be |
| 45s | something unique and interesting so play |
| 48s | it when players can be really proud of |
| 53s | um and we also understand how important |
| 55s | it is for players to customize their own |
| 59s | characters absolutely we have like a lot |
| 61s | of different kinds of players right like |
| 63s | different things always resonate with |
| 64s | different people I think that's always |
| 66s | interesting when we're coming up with |
| 67s | ideas because we're thinking about like |
| 69s | okay there's this group of people and |
| 71s | they're really into this stuff but |
| 72s | there's this other group of people and |
| 73s | they hate that stuff and they're really |
| 75s | into this stuff and like so we have to |
| 76s | come up with a lot of different ideas so |
| 78s | we're always trying like new and kind of |
| 79s | unique stuff with the skin designs or |
| 81s | with the outfit designs trying to come |
| 83s | up with something special trying to push |
| 84s | the envelope I think that's like our our |
| 87s | aesthetic in general is we're always |
| 88s | trying to like figure out what's the new |
| 90s | push try trying to push the envelope and |
| 93s | like get sometimes we get into |
| 95s | interesting spaces that way yeah |
| 97s | um and not just pushing the envelope on |
| 99s | on these signs but also on our like |
| 103s | um |
| 103s | limitations and how we can improve and |
| 106s | evolve our systems to keep growing and |
| 109s | make new ideas out of the current ones |
| 112s | that we have or like new ideas |
| 114s | completely with different |
| 116s | um I don't know ways of |
| 118s | owning something or having a weapon or |
| 120s | having a skin in like an armor yeah |
| 123s | stuff like that it's funny I'm seeing |
| 125s | the game a lot people mix and match gear |
| 127s | a lot too or we design we usually design |
| 128s | things as sets so we're like okay this |
| 130s | is a full outfit top to bottom it's |
| 132s | boots gloves helmet and chest pains it |
| 135s | all kind of goes together but then we |
| 136s | see a lot of players are like Oh I like |
| 138s | that helmet but I like these pants and I |
| 140s | like this chest piece and there's a lot |
| 143s | that forces us to think about a lot too |
| 145s | like how do these sets go together we |
| 147s | have all these metrics about like where |
| 150s | the pieces fit like how does the helmet |
| 152s | fit to the neck okay well what if you |
| 153s | put a different helmet there oh no it |
| 155s | clips and like okay let's make sure that |
| 156s | it doesn't clip yeah those are the type |
| 158s | of limitations that we need to always |
| 160s | take in into account when we create |
| 162s | designs and um different type of funny |
| 166s | because um when we are communicating |
| 169s | with concept artists we always encourage |
| 171s | to shoot for the stars |
| 174s | it can cause yeah some issues that we |
| 177s | always sometimes we have to dial back |
| 180s | but luckily we have really talented Tech |
| 185s | art and in engineering team they are |
| 188s | always working to improve our tools and |
| 190s | such yes as like as a mantra that's |
| 193s | always we would push like let's just |
| 194s | shoot for like let's make something |
| 196s | really cool and interesting and then we |
| 198s | get into the nitty-gritty of like okay |
| 200s | how do we make this actually work well |
| 202s | there's like oh this is like too many |
| 203s | texture sets and like oh my goodness |
| 205s | well we have to figure out how to like |
| 206s | balance that all like oh now there's the |
| 208s | scene with like 100 players all at once |
| 210s | and it all adds up and like okay how do |
| 212s | we make sure that the game is still |
| 213s | performant and so there's all these |
| 215s | things we're thinking about but I don't |
| 216s | I think our goal is that like that's all |
| 218s | kind of under the hood we're peeling |
| 220s | back the curtain a little bit here but |
| 222s | the players they should never even have |
| 224s | to think about that they're they're |
| 225s | focused on like how do I look cool |
| 226s | what's an outfit how do I express myself |
| 229s | I I was going to say for me this time |
| 231s | period the game is set is always really |
| 233s | interesting because we're pulling |
| 235s | reference from Real World cultures all |
| 237s | over the world we want a tournament is |
| 238s | this like island where all these |
| 240s | cultures all come together and clash and |
| 242s | then they they sort of evolve and have |
| 244s | different looks and there's like |
| 245s | Supernatural stuff so like I think an |
| 247s | example really early on that I really |
| 249s | liked was how we designed the Roman |
| 251s | outfits that came in Brimstone Sands and |
| 253s | we hinted at this even way before |
| 254s | Brimstone Sands came out but like what |
| 257s | do Romans look like because they came to |
| 259s | a tournament they encountered you know |
| 261s | these various Supernatural things and |
| 264s | like how did their gear evolve what did |
| 266s | it look like over time did they have to |
| 268s | like do stuff to like I gotta reinforce |
| 270s | because there's like a horrible monster |
| 272s | that's attacking me so my my plate isn't |
| 274s | really gonna like defend against that |
| 276s | that was the point where it it's still |
| 280s | based on historical elements but we made |
| 284s | reimagining |
| 286s | um what's going to happen between a |
| 288s | tournament |
| 289s | I think there was a pivotal point point |
| 291s | yeah reimagining the current designs or |
| 294s | like the current cultures that we have |
| 296s | but making them work into a tournament |
| 298s | like |
| 300s | work in the world yeah in the designs |
| 303s | and in the type of like |
| 305s | um |
| 306s | culture that actually eternum is yeah I |
| 310s | think that's something I bring up a lot |
| 312s | with the art team as a whole they're |
| 314s | like oh that's a cool design what what |
| 317s | makes it new world designs how do we |
| 319s | make sure that it feels like it's ours |
| 320s | that it like fits in the game that |
| 322s | people understand it it's not going to |
| 324s | feel out of place |
| 325s | I think we experiment a lot with like |
| 327s | what does that mean but we're always |
| 329s | evolving that trying to grow it maybe we |
| 331s | can talk about what is even the |
| 334s | um New World look yeah what's our |
| 337s | signature I think there's there's a |
| 339s | bunch of aspects to it I almost want to |
| 341s | hear both of your take but I know for me |
| 344s | we always think about like what's the |
| 346s | story what's the name of the tournament |
| 347s | is this like mythical Island it's it's |
| 350s | all these different cultures coming |
| 351s | together it's supernatural stuff there's |
| 354s | the loss and the angry Earth and |
| 355s | Corruption so there's all these like |
| 357s | primordial forces that are all sort of |
| 359s | butting up head to head against each |
| 361s | other |
| 363s | um and I that obviously like factors |
| 366s | into the outfits you know do outfits fit |
| 368s | into each of these different themes are |
| 369s | they part of the lost or is it something |
| 371s | else entirely so I think we're always |
| 373s | trying to tell a story with the outfits |
| 375s | but then even a layer deeper than that |
| 377s | there's like trying to put the eternum |
| 379s | twist we call it like made in eternum |
| 381s | what's an outfit it's made in a |
| 383s | tournament how did it evolve |
| 385s | um it's kind of like it also putting |
| 387s | into the age of exploration like we |
| 390s | can't yeah we have magic and stuff like |
| 392s | that but also many of the outfits and |
| 395s | are more well weapons as well they are |
| 398s | made by hand they are made by people |
| 401s | actually in the world of eternum and |
| 403s | it's just not like it popped in there |
| 405s | all of a sudden so everything needs to |
| 407s | be also grounded and um into the time |
| 411s | era yeah I think the key is grounded |
| 414s | with some magical touch yeah yeah |
| 417s | there's like we really we put a ton of |
| 419s | effort into like trying to make |
| 420s | everything look handcrafted because we |
| 423s | want to in players because there's a lot |
| 424s | of crafting is a huge component of the |
| 426s | game right so we want players especially |
| 427s | when they're crafting gear to feel like |
| 429s | oh I like made that thing and it looks |
| 431s | like I made it and yeah it has that |
| 433s | evidence of craftsmanship but then |
| 435s | there's the supernatural aspect of like |
| 437s | okay if I had this magical gem and it |
| 439s | gave me super powers like how would that |
| 442s | affect my outfit I'd probably feature |
| 443s | that in some way and so then that goes |
| 446s | into the gear too |
| 447s | I think there's there's all these like |
| 448s | layers of thought process when we're |
| 450s | picking themes and outfits like what's |
| 453s | gonna resonate and what you know what |
| 455s | what makes sense in the world what tells |
| 456s | the story yeah it kind of all fits |
| 458s | together makes them look realistic as |
| 460s | well yeah yeah I think it's really good |
| 464s | important to be keep in mind diversity |
| 468s | and we are also trying to introduce a |
| 471s | lot of different culture but there's |
| 474s | always challenges because we want to be |
| 477s | respectful we want to represent the |
| 480s | culture the correct way so there's a lot |
| 484s | of research going into it yeah what kind |
| 487s | of research stuff are we doing when |
| 489s | we're making some of these sets or |
| 490s | looking at even outside of outfits just |
| 492s | we're digging into some of these |
| 494s | cultures |
| 495s | um we look at a lot of books and |
| 498s | of course Google but |
| 501s | um yeah it's just talk to a lot of |
| 504s | different people from different culture |
| 506s | we have a lot of people working in the |
| 510s | company who's from different parts of |
| 514s | the world so we are engaging a |
| 517s | proactively engagement conversation with |
| 520s | to really dig into that culture and get |
| 524s | more information yeah yeah we normally |
| 526s | also have like this meeting with a |
| 530s | couple of people in the team that will |
| 532s | let us know if like we're doing |
| 533s | something that may not be the best right |
| 537s | now or the best at all and then we can |
| 539s | move on from there and try to look for |
| 543s | other paths yeah that's more we're |
| 545s | trying to like you know we only know so |
| 547s | much about the world individual people |
| 548s | we're always trying to like let's find |
| 550s | experts let's make sure that our our |
| 553s | assumptions are correct or like making |
| 555s | sure that we're representing this |
| 556s | correctly and I think sometimes they |
| 558s | point out stuff that were like oh I |
| 560s | didn't even think of that like yeah and |
| 562s | I think we get idea from that too we're |
| 564s | like hey have you looked at this this is |
| 566s | how they actually do this in this |
| 567s | culture I'm like oh that's really cool |
| 568s | let's make sure that we like bring that |
| 570s | into our world because we want to make |
| 572s | sure that cultures is really represented |
| 574s | correctly |
| 576s | um but yeah I think any favorite outfits |
| 579s | are like designs you guys really liked |
| 580s | as we went along stuff that stands out |
| 583s | to you well |
| 584s | there's a lot but um |
| 587s | 10 tours of |
| 589s | um favorite more greedy and dark outfit |
| 593s | but actually there's a lot |
| 596s | um in new content coming up but we can |
| 599s | talk about that |
| 600s | but if I have to pick one from previous |
| 604s | release |
| 606s | um I think the silent death team |
| 610s | especially the light one and light set |
| 613s | and medium set those are yeah yeah |
| 618s | um those are really dark and greedy but |
| 621s | believable yeah I'd say our artists |
| 623s | really love the dark and pretty stuff I |
| 625s | don't know if we've done as much of it I |
| 627s | think we want to do a lot more of it in |
| 628s | the future yeah we're experiencing uh a |
| 631s | lot of that |
| 633s | of those type of themes so we are trying |
| 636s | to move forward into making more of |
| 638s | those any favorite thing you who you saw |
| 640s | come through there is one which I know |
| 642s | the internal name of it but it's not the |
| 645s | external name of it |
| 647s | um it's the |
| 650s | um describe it paint a picture with your |
| 651s | words yeah it's called Invasion invasion |
| 654s | is curvisher but I think outside in the |
| 657s | game it's called Champion Defender and |
| 661s | um it's the one that they use for a lot |
| 662s | of promos |
| 663s | the one with the spikes in the shoulders |
| 665s | and the spikes in the helmet yeah I like |
| 668s | I like that one |
| 670s | I think it's it has very like dark |
| 672s | colors but it's I don't know the |
| 674s | materials are pretty cool yeah something |
| 676s | you said I want to touch on like I think |
| 678s | we're always looking at you know what |
| 681s | since resonate with people what things |
| 683s | they react to there's a lot of like |
| 686s | there's skins that drop as rewards and |
| 688s | their skins that drop you know through |
| 690s | MTX and some of this other action and |
| 692s | there's like just gear that you get in |
| 693s | the game I think we're always trying to |
| 695s | like find a nice balance to like all |
| 698s | both of those those categories are |
| 699s | really important to us but I think we're |
| 701s | always looking at their feedback trying |
| 703s | to see like what kind of sets sort of |
| 705s | gravitate towards people and coming up |
| 707s | with new and interesting sets is like |
| 709s | that's the new thing I want to chase |
| 710s | that's you know end game MMOs it's |
| 712s | fashion this is this is all about |
| 714s | fashion right Cosmetics yeah |
| 717s | I mean |
| 719s | um |
| 721s | the armored armors that creation it |
| 725s | doesn't always process doesn't always |
| 727s | end up the same way but |
| 730s | we sometimes we Face challenges and |
| 732s | sometimes we make mistakes but what's |
| 735s | most important thing is we always learn |
| 738s | from the mistakes and try something new |
| 743s | the whole game as well I think we're |
| 745s | always looking at like how do we grow |
| 746s | what's the next cool thing we can add |
| 748s | what are players asking for what are |
| 750s | they looking for |
| 751s | so I think that's important but it's |
| 754s | important like you said not just for |
| 756s | um |
| 757s | the the store but also for like the |
| 759s | drops we just try to see it as a whole |
| 762s | and not necessarily like all the coolest |
| 765s | things for here or the coolest things |
| 766s | for there it's just like everything as a |
| 769s | whole and we try to go and learn through |
| 771s | the process of what the players like and |
| 773s | then we move from we we move towards |
| 775s | there on both sides drops and stores as |
| 778s | well do you guys have any thoughts on |
| 780s | cosplayers like like people taking your |
| 782s | art and uh making it real like have you |
| 786s | seen any cosplayers that you really like |
| 787s | you yeah I've seen a few of cosplayers |
| 791s | uh there's actually one person in the |
| 794s | team that did a cosplay of a very cool |
| 797s | outfit and I'm very excited when I see |
| 800s | those yeah when I see that it's always |
| 802s | exciting yeah like wow how did you put |
| 805s | that up you know I'm not cosplayer |
| 806s | something you uh your contact comes to |
| 808s | life in in the game but and then you see |
| 811s | it in real life yeah amazing it's very |
| 814s | exciting it was very fun yeah I think we |
| 816s | even some of the outfits I know some of |
| 818s | our signature characters we were in |
| 819s | thinking about like we've had the design |
| 822s | and we're like this is going to be a |
| 823s | little complicated if someone tries to |
| 825s | make this as an outfit maybe we should |
| 826s | make this a little a little clearer yeah |
| 828s | because it seemed like we wanted people |
| 831s | to do that like we want to encourage the |
| 833s | community to get involved yeah you know |
| 836s | um so how about we talk about dice yeah |
| 838s | yeah I think that's an interesting part |
| 840s | of outfits as a whole is players get |
| 842s | these dies in the game they can apply |
| 844s | them to their gear I've seen some crazy |
| 846s | colors in the game but in a good way in |
| 849s | a good way I think it's it's just like |
| 850s | another layer of player expression and |
| 852s | like right along with that transmog is |
| 854s | our upcoming feature you know soon to be |
| 856s | coming to the game I think I'm super |
| 857s | excited for that because there's so many |
| 859s | outfits that players have especially in |
| 862s | early levels that they just sort of like |
| 863s | they wear it for an hour a couple hours |
| 865s | and then they get another piece of gear |
| 867s | and that Gear's gone but there's a ton |
| 869s | of really cool looks in that early stuff |
| 871s | that now I think we can see players can |
| 873s | express themselves even more they can |
| 875s | swap out what their visual is and not |
| 877s | worry about what the stats are so much |
| 879s | yeah I know that there's a lot of um |
| 882s | skins in the store too that we have that |
| 885s | are not currently dietable and I know |
| 886s | there's a lot of desire for this so |
| 888s | that's something we're looking at for |
| 889s | transmogous can we get all the Skins to |
| 891s | be dyable so that it's a sort of full |
| 893s | expression across all the set which I'm |
| 895s | pretty excited for we'll see I remember |
| 898s | are seeing a player with the boy band |
| 900s | armor some time ago and everything pink |
| 902s | I'm like that works that kind of works |
| 906s | it looks cool |
| 908s | um yeah definitely looking forward into |
| 911s | how we we are |
| 914s | experimenting about the dice and the |
| 916s | transmog for the things in the store I |
| 919s | think I think it'll players will be |
| 920s | excited for that |
| 921s | so that brings us to our community |
| 923s | question of the week and what we want to |
| 926s | know is are there any themes or outfit |
| 928s | ideas that you have that you'd love to |
| 929s | see in the game what kind of outfits do |
| 931s | you want to wear what kind of outfits do |
| 932s | you like to wear on your player |
