| 0s | hey guys we've got a ton of stuff coming |
|---|---|
| 2s | in this next beta season 2 update coming |
| 4s | on june 2nd |
| 6s | and to talk about the update happening |
| 8s | with map creator i've got the man |
| 10s | himself steve the dev behind map creator |
| 13s | can i call you the map creator creator |
| 15s | is that is that a fair title |
| 17s | yeah that works yeah all right cool well |
| 20s | let's just get right into it um first |
| 22s | tell us everything that's planned for |
| 24s | the beta season 2 map creator feature |
| 26s | what what's what's going to be added to |
| 28s | the game tell us some of the new |
| 29s | features one of the major things we have |
| 31s | planned is a first version of a file |
| 33s | sharing system you'll be able to back up |
| 35s | your existing maps to our back end after |
| 38s | which you'll get back a 12-digit sharing |
| 40s | code that you can pass around to us to |
| 43s | your friends post on your twitter and |
| 45s | then with that sharing code people can |
| 47s | enter it in the game and it'll download |
| 49s | the map corresponding to the sharing |
| 51s | code yeah it'll allow us to do things |
| 52s | like maybe eventually put it in a |
| 54s | featured playlist stuff like that |
| 56s | another big thing we did is magnets so |
| 58s | there's a first version of magnets in |
| 60s | beta season two magnets is basically a |
| 62s | system by which if you |
| 64s | hold an object and get close to another |
| 66s | object it'll kind of align the rotation |
| 69s | and position to snap to an object so |
| 72s | let's say i have a block here then it |
| 74s | could like come up here and then just |
| 75s | like snap to the other object so you |
| 77s | don't always have to rely on your snap |
| 78s | settings and instead you can just turn |
| 80s | on magnets to really make your workflow |
| 82s | a lot easier especially when things are |
| 84s | off grid for example and you're trying |
| 85s | to align them another feature is we're |
| 88s | now allowing you to overlap all game |
| 89s | mode objects and then there's a bunch of |
| 92s | small quality of life things hiding kill |
| 94s | zones and thumbnails like stuff like |
| 96s | that a bunch of small things and then uh |
| 98s | i guess yeah i didn't talk about our new |
| 100s | map yet which we have a brand new map |
| 102s | wet ocean so yeah i'm glad you brought |
| 105s | that up because what ocean we already |
| 106s | have a canvas map in flat earth |
| 109s | why are we adding a new one what's |
| 111s | what's its purpose |
| 113s | i guess i'm just really excited to see |
| 115s | map screenshots that aren't orange but |
| 118s | no jokes aside we love uh flat earth but |
| 121s | this is a great successor both |
| 123s | aesthetics wise and gameplay wise it's |
| 125s | basically a little island and a big |
| 127s | ocean surrounded by mountains in the |
| 129s | distance with trees on them and that |
| 131s | should be really exciting it will create |
| 133s | a completely different aesthetic and |
| 134s | look for some of the maps even if you |
| 136s | build the same ones that you built on |
| 137s | flat earth on this map should look |
| 139s | different which will be cool gameplay |
| 140s | wise what's cool is because it's in |
| 142s | water it kind of gives you this natural |
| 145s | kill zone at the water level so what we |
| 147s | decided to do is place an interactable |
| 149s | like kill zone at the water level so |
| 151s | that there's like a natural like if you |
| 153s | fall into that the player dies but you |
| 155s | can also choose to remove it if you do |
| 156s | want to build underwater we've also |
| 158s | decided to make it twice as big as flat |
| 160s | earth which should open up the |
| 161s | possibility to create massive maps and |
| 163s | i'm really excited to see what people |
| 165s | end up doing with that well i'm going to |
| 166s | build some underwater bases i think you |
| 168s | can go underwater right yeah you can |
| 170s | yeah yeah i'm not sure if it's deep |
| 172s | enough to build a base but you can |
| 173s | definitely build some stuff down there |
| 175s | yeah it wouldn't be a map creator update |
| 177s | if we didn't add objects new objects to |
| 180s | play around with what uh what kind of |
| 182s | objects have we added a lot of like |
| 183s | foliage and greenery so we added trees |
| 186s | grass ferns flowers a couple of variants |
| 189s | of each of these things and then we also |
| 190s | there was a big demand for kind of these |
| 192s | larger environmental pieces so our team |
| 195s | did some really cool work with houdini |
| 197s | creating these like big uh cliffs that |
| 200s | should be really nice to place on your |
| 202s | maps and then we also made some crates |
| 204s | my personal favorite is a scalable cube |
| 206s | object which this scalable cube is |
| 208s | specifically made so it'll be really |
| 210s | good for filling up like tiny spaces or |
| 212s | really large spaces just kind of to fill |
| 214s | in anything where you feel like you |
| 215s | didn't have a block to place before yeah |
| 218s | so here's a fun little question i know |
| 220s | you go out in the community and see what |
| 222s | people are saying about about the game |
| 225s | has there ever been a suggestion |
| 227s | that you didn't really consider that |
| 228s | idea before and then because you've seen |
| 230s | that suggestion it actually made it into |
| 232s | the game for map creator yeah definitely |
| 234s | this is actually a really big one that i |
| 236s | don't know why i didn't think about it |
| 237s | like the way i built season one map |
| 239s | creator was i required every map to have |
| 242s | all of the gamemode objects and someone |
| 245s | immediately right off the bat people |
| 246s | suggested like why can't i delete these |
| 248s | things and i guess i just didn't really |
| 250s | think about that because i figured like |
| 251s | you would probably want most maps to be |
| 253s | playable for all modes and if you |
| 255s | wouldn't you would just place the ones |
| 257s | you didn't want in like a corner and |
| 259s | just kind of ignore them what i ended up |
| 260s | doing is i |
| 262s | only require two initial spawns to be |
| 264s | there for both teams and you can just |
| 266s | choose whichever gamemode object you |
| 267s | want to support certain game modes and |
| 269s | then the game modes will be grayed out |
| 271s | in the custom games lobby if you don't |
| 273s | have the required object so final |
| 275s | question you know what's what's it been |
| 276s | like being the main dev behind map |
| 278s | creator i'm really happy like with the |
| 281s | state that it's in and where we're going |
| 283s | with it i personally get to touch a lot |
| 285s | of different systems which is a lot of |
| 287s | fun it's never boring it's very varied |
| 289s | to step back a little bit i think what |
| 291s | it's like right now it's kind of like |
| 293s | we're trying to build this very robust |
| 295s | map creator system that we can just add |
| 297s | content onto instead of like necessarily |
| 299s | having to refactor a lot of the code so |
| 301s | i'm constantly like going back and |
| 302s | refactoring a little bit to make it more |
| 304s | robust and then adding new content as |
| 306s | well and we're really trying to just |
| 307s | like build out this machine where when |
| 309s | people ask us things like it'll be |
| 311s | pretty easy to like actually implement |
| 312s | them and most of the work will be |
| 314s | content instead of like heavy lifting |
| 315s | engineering and the file sharing is a |
| 317s | really big step towards that i would say |
| 319s | and then |
| 320s | uh |
| 321s | it's been super fun like seeing the |
| 324s | crazy things people are making and i |
| 325s | mean i love that it's like this tool |
| 328s | that i made and everyone that we made |
| 330s | and that everyone is just using and |
| 332s | making these crazy maps it's awesome |
| 334s | seeing the community yeah thanks for |
| 336s | your time steve and for everyone out |
| 338s | there remember |
| 340s | beta season 2 comes out on june 2nd so |
| 343s | on that will be on xbox playstation and |
| 346s | of course steam pay attention on all our |
| 348s | social media channels we'll be posting |
| 350s | updates and teasers every single day |
| 352s | leading up to the launch so you'll know |
| 354s | exactly what's going to be in it before |
| 355s | it even launches |
