| 0s | The Chameleons are really a standout for |
|---|---|
| 3s | me yeah they're very fun yeah and |
| 6s | they're very chameleony they actually |
| 7s | disappear |
| 9s | [Applause] |
| 14s | hi and welcome to fortunate eternum the |
| 16s | show where we talk about All Things New |
| 18s | World I'm Rosie the associate art |
| 21s | director on new world and this is Darren |
| 23s | hi I'm Darren I'm the design lead on |
| 25s | Expeditions and we're going to talk |
| 27s | about Savage divide the Expedition for |
| 29s | our new territory Elysium Wilds I know |
| 32s | Elysium Wiles is a big takeover for |
| 34s | First Flight first light was literally |
| 36s | taken over by invasive growth right so |
| 40s | we had to take |
| 42s | the existing art and just completely |
| 44s | take it over but also make it look |
| 46s | totally unique and feel unique too as |
| 48s | well so the Expedition itself is |
| 51s | um composed entirely a beast to that |
| 53s | present any challenges on the art side |
| 56s | I think so because the beasts don't |
| 58s | actually make anything so that makes it |
| 61s | easy because there's something to work |
| 63s | with there's you know their architecture |
| 65s | but they don't have that so we had to |
| 67s | use the invasive growth which actually |
| 71s | like the team worked really hard to make |
| 72s | that look totally new and fresh but also |
| 75s | like it's part of the world of new world |
| 77s | and and |
| 79s | um but like it's taken it over from |
| 81s | within so and then we also had to |
| 83s | distinguish the different areas for each |
| 85s | Beast type there's several different |
| 87s | Beast types so we were going to talk a |
| 90s | little bit about the story yeah Mahatma |
| 93s | the mammoth Lord has retreated in Savage |
| 96s | divide |
| 97s | in Madness and players have to go into |
| 100s | Savage fight to throttle the Beast |
| 101s | Lord's power each of the beasts are |
| 103s | represented in Savage divide it's the |
| 105s | first expedition that is entirely |
| 107s | composed of beasts which presented a lot |
| 110s | of challenges from a design standpoint |
| 112s | right and an art standpoint and an art |
| 115s | standpoint do you want to talk a little |
| 116s | bit about the art sure we wanted to have |
| 119s | something completely unique but we also |
| 121s | needed to make sure that all the |
| 123s | different areas in the Expedition looked |
| 125s | unique from each other because otherwise |
| 128s | players would just get lost |
| 130s | and then also the invasion is is totally |
| 134s | organic so there's a lot of organic you |
| 136s | know plants and and Bramble and Invasion |
| 139s | that's taking over so we picked |
| 142s | different rooms sections of the |
| 145s | Expedition and made them look more |
| 148s | specific by taking you know parts of the |
| 151s | different foliage and and Flora that |
| 155s | we'd made for the invasion itself often |
| 157s | sir this is sort of like the culmination |
| 159s | of the whole uh Invasion look and feel |
| 163s | every area looks different and has a |
| 167s | different one of the plants that's taken |
| 169s | over talking about the zone for and the |
| 171s | Expedition together right and the |
| 175s | Expedition being kind of a culmination |
| 177s | of all the work that's gone into the |
| 179s | Zone exactly yeah and trying to build |
| 181s | out each specific area in the Expedition |
| 184s | to have its own sort of postcard moment |
| 187s | if you will exactly it's got yeah that |
| 188s | Kodachrome moment where you can get a |
| 191s | screenshot if you're not being attacked |
| 193s | if you're not being attacked by the |
| 194s | Beast something that design and art have |
| 197s | in common here is that there were |
| 199s | multiple iterations right oh yeah to get |
| 201s | to these points yes it's it takes a lot |
| 204s | of work and a lot of collaboration to |
| 206s | get these expeditions |
| 208s | fun and that ultimately we want them to |
| 210s | be fun do you want to talk about some of |
| 212s | the unique fun things about the |
| 214s | Expedition there are some unique things |
| 216s | so |
| 217s | um this is kind of Hub design so there's |
| 220s | actually multiple paths that are viable |
| 223s | in this Expedition which is kind of new |
| 225s | for us |
| 226s | there's a secret that is findable in the |
| 231s | Expedition which is entirely new we |
| 232s | haven't actually buried something like |
| 234s | this before aside from that I think the |
| 237s | big standout is it's the first |
| 239s | expedition that's actually just all |
| 241s | beasts that was a huge Challenge from |
| 243s | the combat standpoint there was a ton of |
| 245s | work that went into |
| 247s | iterating on the both the combat of the |
| 250s | individual creatures and the combat in |
| 253s | the sense of the encounters and the |
| 255s | density and which pairings worked and |
| 258s | which pairings didn't work so and |
| 260s | there's a lot of creatures in the expert |
| 262s | and they're all new not only are there a |
| 264s | lot of creatures like the gorillas the |
| 266s | mammoths the armored dragon and the |
| 269s | chameleons |
| 270s | but there are also variations of them on |
| 273s | different elements we have also new |
| 277s | technology for them to pounce down from |
| 280s | Ledges so you'll see some of that in the |
| 282s | Expedition and it's also highlighted in |
| 284s | the zone I really like the the throwing |
| 287s | the grill is throwing yeah that's really |
| 290s | cool |
| 291s | um and the elemental attacks by the |
| 293s | mammoths are really cool yeah the whole |
| 295s | uh the room where the gorilla is is like |
| 298s | attacking you and charging up at the |
| 300s | different Spirit shrines the boss fight |
| 302s | yeah the boss fight is amazing yeah both |
| 305s | boss fights I think are um really over |
| 307s | the top Mahatma the mammoth Lord boss |
| 310s | fight is |
| 311s | um also featuring some new technology |
| 314s | where there's a secondary creature on |
| 316s | top of him that's like lasering you down |
| 319s | and it's it's a crazy scene what's your |
| 322s | favorite uh encounter The Chameleons are |
| 325s | really a standout for me yeah they're |
| 328s | very fun yeah and they're very |
| 329s | chameleony they actually disappear yeah |
| 333s | super cool and um and they are kind of a |
| 336s | difficulty Spike too so you know when |
| 339s | you're you're fighting them that was |
| 341s | kind of a challenge getting it just hard |
| 342s | enough right for players the Expedition |
| 345s | should be a lot more approachable than |
| 348s | previous Expeditions and the reason for |
| 350s | that is that we're doing tuning across |
| 351s | the board on the expeditions to make |
| 354s | them more approachable |
| 355s | so I think in normal mode players are |
| 358s | going to have a lot easier time getting |
| 360s | in and and through this Expedition which |
| 363s | is intended and that will be true for |
| 367s | all Expeditions in the game we're going |
| 369s | to save the really hard gameplay for |
| 371s | mutators we're also reducing mutators to |
| 374s | three levels of difficulty in the |
| 376s | expansion and that is a big change we're |
| 379s | trying to um reduce the number of |
| 381s | different mutators so that players can |
| 384s | get into games faster and easier well |
| 386s | talking about all the Expeditions what's |
| 388s | your favorite of all of them I have |
| 390s | favorites in in different ways I I think |
| 393s | yeah that's fair I think yeah Tempest |
| 396s | heart is |
| 397s | um part of the original story and I've |
| 402s | been around for the whole a pretty good |
| 406s | chunk of the development so like seeing |
| 408s | that culmination in Tempest heart was a |
| 411s | really meaningful moment for me and then |
| 414s | our last Expedition Imperium Forge I |
| 417s | think is super fun I love part of the |
| 420s | art |
| 421s | in the background with all the gears |
| 423s | moving animation in the uh background |
| 426s | and the sound design on it is just |
| 428s | phenomenal how do you think that |
| 430s | compares to |
| 431s | um The Savage divide there is such a |
| 434s | cool contrast between them that it's |
| 438s | it's really neat to see like how |
| 442s | different Imperium forges from Savage |
| 444s | divide yeah right that's something that |
| 446s | we really wanted to get like different |
| 448s | totally different feeling different |
| 449s | temperatures different sort of energy in |
| 453s | each one and we really want players to |
| 455s | feel like they're getting something |
| 457s | really new with the uh with the whole |
| 460s | new Expedition that brings us to our |
| 462s | community question |
