| 20s | two fantastic companies |
| 22s | dreamhaven and epic games dreamhaven is |
| 25s | an amazing new team |
| 27s | founded by some friends and former |
| 28s | colleagues from blizzard many of them |
| 30s | were pivotal |
| 31s | in shaping the real-time strategy genre |
| 34s | dreamhaven is going to be advising the |
| 35s | frost giant team |
| 36s | as we build our new rts and we're |
| 38s | extremely grateful to have them in our |
| 40s | corner |
| 41s | epic games has been setting the bar for |
| 43s | game engines for many years now |
| 45s | and their upcoming unreal engine 5 is |
| 47s | going to be another giant lead forward |
| 49s | frost giant will be using unreal engine |
| 51s | 5 to build our new rts |
| 54s | next you'll hear some thoughts and maybe |
| 56s | some updates |
| 57s | from our game director our art director |
| 59s | and our chief architect |
| 61s | thanks for watching one of my first |
| 64s | experiences |
| 64s | working at blizzard was when i joined |
| 68s | warcraft 3. |
| 69s | i remember one day that i was working on |
| 71s | an early |
| 73s | night elf mission i hear a little chair |
| 76s | wheel in behind me and somebody sit down |
| 77s | and |
| 78s | i hear a voice hi i'm mike i'm i'm here |
| 81s | to help with the scripting in your level |
| 84s | and it was mike morheim he took time out |
| 87s | of his schedule as the head of the |
| 88s | company |
| 89s | with all the business responsibilities |
| 92s | that he had overseeing everything |
| 94s | to always stay connected with the games |
| 96s | that he was building and the teams that |
| 98s | he had working on them the people at |
| 99s | dreamhaven |
| 100s | are proven in the games industry |
| 104s | i've known mike morheim for almost 30 |
| 106s | years now |
| 108s | people like chris cigity who is the lead |
| 110s | for starcraft 2. |
| 113s | i'm excited to have their input on what |
| 114s | we're building and to reconnect with |
| 116s | them lots of memories working with |
| 117s | dreamhaven folks |
| 119s | uh it wasn't long after i started at |
| 122s | blizzard that i was invited to poker |
| 125s | game |
| 126s | and mike was there and i thought it was |
| 129s | really impressive to me that |
| 130s | that with such a big company he was |
| 132s | still just hanging out with new |
| 133s | employees um playing poker and it was |
| 136s | awesome i had a great time that night |
| 137s | i lost but i had a good time the benefit |
| 140s | of having dream haven as advisors is |
| 142s | going to be |
| 142s | huge not only are they game developers |
| 146s | that are advising us but |
| 147s | most of them work directly on starcraft |
| 149s | and they have a passion for rts just |
| 151s | like we do |
| 152s | unreal engine 5 represents bleeding edge |
| 154s | technology that offers us as developers |
| 157s | tools and capabilities that we just |
| 159s | plain didn't have access to before |
| 161s | to realize the vision for gameplay and |
| 163s | storytelling that we aspire to |
| 166s | i think unreal gives you a huge head |
| 168s | start making a game |
| 169s | you're basically productive from day one |
| 171s | unreal 5 gives us a |
| 173s | best-in-class rendering that enables our |
| 175s | game to look as good as possible |
| 178s | i think the main features of unreal 5 |
| 181s | that is going to be |
| 182s | most impactful for the art will be lumen |
| 184s | their new lighting solution |
| 186s | the fact that we can change lighting in |
| 188s | real time without having to bake out |
| 189s | maps and everything |
| 190s | could be pretty massive and nanite's |
| 193s | also going to be pretty massive i think |
| 194s | for us |
| 195s | maybe not so much on the game side |
| 197s | because we still need to keep everything |
| 199s | pretty clean and readable but in cut |
| 202s | scenes and in cinematics |
| 204s | the fact that we can just throw so many |
| 206s | polygons at it and it'll be performant |
| 208s | will be pretty huge i love it the tools |
| 213s | the pipeline the technology |
| 214s | is a staggering foundation upon which |
| 216s | we'll be able to build the gameplay that |
| 218s | really advances the rts genre to the |
| 220s | next level |
| 228s | one of the biggest challenges and |
| 229s | exciting aspects of building a new ip |
| 231s | is really being able to define your |
| 233s | setting the universe that players are |
| 235s | going to explore |
| 236s | finding the creative home for your game |
| 239s | and this is something that i'm pleased |
| 240s | to report that we've made some great |
| 242s | headway on |
| 242s | we've worked for months now with some |
| 244s | really experienced |
| 246s | talented writers we've churned through |
| 248s | dozens and dozens of ideas |
| 250s | for different types of settings that are |
| 252s | wildly diverse |
| 254s | and i'm really pleased to say that we've |
| 256s | selected one that i think you're going |
| 258s | to be really |
| 259s | really excited about it's |
| 264s | giant that are says |
| 273s | and i think you're gonna love it |
| 276s | so please let us know what you think |
| 278s | about our setting on the frost giant |
