Gerald also known as fgs Gerald Gerald |
| 12s |
of trivia I'm the comms guy when you're |
| 14s |
engaging on Reddit going to our |
| 16s |
communities you're talking to me and |
| 18s |
this is where we make stormgate |
| 21s |
[Music] |
| 24s |
show you around give you a taste of what |
| 25s |
it is that we're building |
| 28s |
let's go |
| 34s |
[Music] |
| 37s |
hey Jesse how's it going good how are |
| 38s |
you doing good good what are you doing |
| 39s |
today uh today we're reviewing uh some |
| 42s |
infernal assets that we have in the game |
| 43s |
and working on materials and textures |
| 45s |
right now we're really focused on the |
| 47s |
infernal faction and constructing a lot |
| 49s |
of the models materials and stuff from |
| 51s |
the concept art that we've created |
| 52s |
previously we've shown Concepts art |
| 54s |
already but uh this is what internally |
| 56s |
we call this spriggan so we kind of do a |
| 59s |
blend of the idol animation where he's |
| 61s |
swaying back and forth and then the wing |
| 62s |
flap animation that we kind of layer on |
| 65s |
top and unreal and so this allows us to |
| 66s |
kind of decouple the two animations and |
| 69s |
control one differently from another and |
| 71s |
so this unit flies around and is able to |
| 73s |
attack pretty quickly and we're just |
| 75s |
kind of still dialing in the balance and |
| 76s |
everything for that one |
| 79s |
we do what we call a visual development |
| 81s |
time of about six weeks when we start a |
| 83s |
faction the concept group works together |
| 84s |
they have several weeks of just |
| 86s |
exploring and having fun and during the |
| 88s |
course of that six weeks we hone it down |
| 89s |
more and more so that by the time we're |
| 91s |
done everybody has an understanding of |
| 93s |
what the Core Concepts of a faction |
| 96s |
would be the Imp is a great example of |
| 98s |
that was part of visual development and |
| 100s |
the second we saw that everyone on the |
| 102s |
team was like we're making that and |
| 103s |
putting it into the game and that |
| 105s |
happens quite a lot we have a pretty |
| 106s |
amazing concept team and so we we're |
| 108s |
just getting tons of ideas as we as we |
| 110s |
jam through things |
| 113s |
[Music] |
| 116s |
thank you |
| 117s |
[Music] |
| 120s |
hey Paul have you interrupting Oh Hey |
| 122s |
Joe how you doing good good what are you |
| 124s |
doing these days right now just running |
| 126s |
some quick tests to see what's happening |
| 127s |
with some of the buttons but other than |
| 129s |
that I've been working on score screen |
| 130s |
trying to get you know number of units |
| 132s |
killed the resources gathered things |
| 134s |
like that thanks to the power of unreal |
| 136s |
five we're using that mvvm pattern which |
| 139s |
is a model view view model pattern |
| 143s |
it disassociates the data in the |
| 146s |
background from the UI so that we can |
| 148s |
throw up multiple uis using the exact |
| 150s |
same data we can just work on the views |
| 153s |
and the view models to have it drive |
| 155s |
multiple screens so we'll be able to |
| 156s |
iterate and do some really cool things |
| 158s |
with that |
| 160s |
foreign |
| 164s |
what you working on looking for cool |
| 167s |
opportunities for cosmetics and various |
| 169s |
customization we want the players to be |
| 171s |
able to personalize their own experience |
| 173s |
and have a lot of self-expression |
| 175s |
we have talked about Army skins in the |
| 177s |
past but one thing that I'm really |
| 178s |
excited to share is that we are looking |
| 180s |
at pets we all have pets here at the |
| 182s |
office we have dogs that run around and |
| 184s |
we all love pets and we think they're |
| 185s |
really fun so we hope that you'll enjoy |
| 187s |
what we're working on |
| 188s |
thematic wise I think we want to stay |
| 190s |
grounded within the lore and setting of |
| 192s |
The Game initially but as we go on in |
| 194s |
the future you know we're happy to |
| 196s |
explore various things and does that |
| 198s |
include maybe Easter eggs or anything |
| 199s |
funny |
| 200s |
yeah so if you've been following us |
| 202s |
since the beginning uh there might be |
| 203s |
some Easter eggs that you might notice |
| 205s |
we like to keep it light-hearted and |
| 207s |
throw in some fun things |
| 208s |
we've been heavily inspired by lizard |
| 211s |
RTS and expansions and epic stories that |
| 213s |
they've told here at Frost giant we want |
| 216s |
to be able to tell that story seasonally |
| 218s |
and be able to deliver that content on a |
| 220s |
much regular Cadence of players so they |
| 222s |
can enjoy that content for many years to |
| 224s |
come |
| 229s |
can you tell us a little bit about what |
| 230s |
you're working on mostly production |
| 232s |
tasks but I would say the most exciting |
| 233s |
thing is working on the next iteration |
| 235s |
of our war chest similar to what |
| 237s |
Starcraft has |
| 239s |
so the idea is you'll have some cool |
| 241s |
missions different quests ways for you |
| 243s |
to earn really cool cosmetics in the |
| 245s |
game totally optional but we hope |
| 246s |
players find it be a lot of fun we just |
| 248s |
got to show the game at Gamescom and had |
| 250s |
a really great showing everyone who's |
| 252s |
played the game really enjoyed the game |
| 254s |
we're really hyped to get the gaming |
| 255s |
players hands you know we want to get |
| 257s |
the game in your hands so thanks for |
| 258s |
supporting us we don't really have a |
| 260s |
dedicated marketing team at Frost Giant |
| 264s |
we decided to invest everything into |
| 266s |
just making a great game so please bear |
| 268s |

| 269s |
