| 1s | hey all I'm mod nin joined by mod Elena |
|---|---|
| 5s | to give you a first look at our early |
| 7s | exploration into sailing Tech |
| 9s | as you hopefully know by now the old |
| 12s | school team is working on a brand new |
| 15s | skill and shaping it with the community |
| 17s | during refinement |
| 20s | sailing was taken forward as the first |
| 23s | skill we'd like to refine further so our |
| 26s | first step will be nailing down the |
| 28s | navigational mechanics of sailing |
| 31s | before we get started Please be aware |
| 33s | that this demo is purely a technical |
| 35s | showcase there are no gameplay mechanics |
| 38s | here and the art is far from final but |
| 41s | this video is intended to show you more |
| 43s | about the tech and challenge some of the |
| 45s | misconceptions players might have around |
| 47s | what is technically possible for us to |
| 49s | do so let's jump into it |
| 52s | boats are a familiar Concept in old |
| 55s | school they're all over the place once |
| 58s | you start looking from Tiny row boats to |
| 61s | freminic longboats to huge Merchant |
| 64s | vessels that travel continents |
| 67s | you've seen them you've boarded them |
| 69s | you've smuggled rum on them so |
| 72s | captaining them shouldn't feel out of |
| 74s | place as a skill you could master |
| 77s | sailing in Old School needs to feel well |
| 80s | integrated intuitive and familiar and |
| 84s | that's where our technical exploration |
| 86s | started |
| 87s | we already have boats we just need to |
| 90s | make them move |
| 92s | here you can see a small boat with a |
| 94s | body and a sail and a player stood |
| 96s | inside |
| 97s | that player is able to do regular |
| 99s | interactions while on the boat and see |
| 101s | other players doing activities on the |
| 103s | dock this player is also in control of |
| 106s | the boat and can use point-and-click |
| 107s | movement to Traverse the waters please |
| 110s | note this movement and control scheme |
| 112s | are not final but we're using it here to |
| 114s | demonstrate how a player can be part of |
| 116s | a moving entity |
| 119s | that boat's a little cramped though |
| 121s | let's give our guy a bigger vessel |
| 124s | this one's got quite a bit more room |
| 127s | maybe to carry a treasure chest or some |
| 130s | fishing supplies or enough space to |
| 133s | bring your pants |
| 135s | maybe this boat is a bit more durable or |
| 138s | can carry more cargo |
| 141s | the specifics of what utilities boats |
| 143s | will have is not decided yet but they |
| 147s | can contain interactable objects like |
| 149s | anywhere else in the game |
| 151s | we also think sailing could make for a |
| 154s | fun group activity we want to let you |
| 156s | invite your friends aboard so you can |
| 158s | sail the high seas together |
| 160s | on even larger ships you might need a |
| 162s | whole crew working together to man the |
| 164s | Cannons Hoist the sails keep look out |
| 166s | and stay safely through the waves we're |
| 169s | able to have groups of players aboard |
| 171s | boats which could open up lots of |
| 173s | gameplay opportunities for multiplayer |
| 175s | sailing content |
| 177s | what did you guys think we'd love to |
| 180s | hear your feedback in the comments below |
| 182s | or if you're watching this live tell us |
| 185s | in the chat we'd once again like to say |
| 188s | that this video footage is purely a |
| 191s | technical demo |
| 192s | the core gameplay details art rewards |
| 196s | basically everything that makes a skill |
| 198s | a skill is still to come |
| 201s | knowing how navigation works at its core |
| 204s | is really important as it feeds into all |
| 208s | the other aspects of the skill |
| 210s | we know how important it is to ensure |
| 213s | that navigation feels fun engaging and |
| 216s | intuitive across all devices so now that |
| 220s | you're able to visualize yourself on a |
| 222s | ship with your homies what kinds of |
| 224s | feedback do you want to send our way |
