| 91s | even angels of the zeraman quest just a |
| 93s | heads up but speaking of the new word |
| 96s | quest did you guys know that over one |
| 98s | million players have started playing in |
| 101s | work west and we're actually nearing |
| 103s | we're very very close to one million |
| 105s | players having actually completed the |
| 106s | quest wow that's awesome |
| 108s | i just learned this the other day |
| 109s | actually from pascal |
| 111s | that's cool yeah actually that's my |
| 113s | first question how does that make you |
| 114s | guys feel knowing that the quest you |
| 116s | created has been played by so many |
| 118s | people |
| 119s | amazing yeah it feels amazing and |
| 121s | surreal i'm scared |
| 124s | i mean we don't have to go into every |
| 125s | libya |
| 127s | so it's a great quest it's awesome |
| 129s | it's just really cool that everyone's |
| 130s | getting to see all that work and it's |
| 133s | it's kind of uh hard to believe because |
| 134s | it was released last december it feels |
| 137s | like so long yeah it honestly does 2021 |
| 140s | so |
| 141s | yeah thank you to everyone who's who's |
| 143s | played it uh i think also just the |
| 145s | triumph of |
| 146s | doing that quest in kind of the covid uh |
| 149s | remote situation was yeah |
| 152s | was really daunting and the team just |
| 154s | kind of killed it totally really |
| 155s | impressed we're going to go through some |
| 157s | of the art for the new war that you guys |
| 159s | wouldn't have seen yet um but uh so on |
| 162s | our path to very we released the new war |
| 164s | of course which |
| 166s | as you all agree was probably the |
| 168s | biggest is the biggest cinematic quest |
| 170s | to date and a huge effort from the whole |
| 172s | team |
| 173s | and um i thought we'd kick it off with a |
| 176s | look at some of the animation work |
| 178s | went into that so let's have a look at |
| 180s | that |
| 182s | hello he's seen better days |
| 186s | [Music] |
| 198s | that's great |
| 202s | oh no he's that big nerd |
| 205s | i just stand around and |
| 208s | throw him you're like i want to be lotus |
| 219s | this especially is just so good |
| 223s | yeah this is a lot of fun |
| 230s | each of those guys had to do that fall |
| 232s | probably a dozen times |
| 233s | so |
| 234s | you've been stuck here |
| 236s | this whole time |
| 239s | not here exactly |
| 242s | but yeah stuck |
| 244s | you got bigger problems right now at |
| 246s | least |
| 250s | this one was cool i think we actually |
| 252s | ended up using the free very first take |
| 254s | they just acted out really the entire |
| 255s | thing on the first go we ended up using |
| 257s | it |
| 258s | tim even ad-libbed the hands on the head |
| 260s | yeah that's great which is such a good |
| 263s | fan moment |
| 267s | that's full of spoilers eh yeah i told |
| 269s | you |
| 270s | i said baby we're spoiling some stuff |
| 272s | today |
| 273s | [Laughter] |
| 278s | dean i think we'll have to put a big |
| 280s | banner that says spoilers throughout the |
| 282s | whole stream |
| 283s | yeah |
| 286s | oh yeah especially |
| 288s | we'll see more of him a little bit later |
| 293s | [Music] |
| 300s | those mats come in handy |
| 303s | the amount of fall animation |
| 307s | so that was just two minutes |
| 309s | just two minutes of animation work |
| 311s | and i'm curious in total |
| 314s | how much mo-cap footage you guys you |
| 316s | think you think you got for the new war |
| 319s | i don't know i can't i couldn't even |
| 320s | tell you honestly like i um |
| 324s | yeah because we record so much and we |
| 326s | kind of cut up and splice uh |
| 329s | different parts of it except like i said |
| 330s | that that dinner for two of those guys |
| 332s | did it we just used the one take they |
| 334s | did which is amazing |
| 337s | um it was |
| 339s | i don't know i can't like i just the |
| 341s | sheer amount of animation that the team |
| 342s | did |
| 344s | like to get it out was |
| 346s | i'm still kind of like in awe of it to |
| 348s | be honest so yeah i don't i don't know |
| 351s | the actual i'd be curious to find out |
| 352s | actually yeah maybe maybe we can find |
| 354s | out when dean can put it as a ticker |
| 355s | that goes about the actual |
| 357s | minutes of recap we have because i would |
| 359s | be kind of |
| 361s | fascinated to find that out i do want to |
| 362s | point out that i did originally credit |
| 365s | jeff in the video when i first edited it |
| 367s | and i showed you as a mocap actor |
| 370s | i think you called me a performer i did |
| 372s | well |
| 373s | you made a great lotus so i felt like i |
| 376s | should still credit you i just i'm just |
| 378s | a big prophet |
| 380s | i need to hold on to something i get |
| 381s | thrown around |
| 383s | so i don't know if that's really fair |
| 384s | i'm just i just like a i get paid to be |
| 386s | a bully during mocaps it works |
| 388s | it works |
| 389s | um |
| 390s | it's interesting too because it's clear |
| 392s | our animators are not just animators as |
| 395s | you saw there's jason and tim and |
| 397s | they're are on our animation team but |
| 399s | they're also performers they're actors |
| 402s | so how does that ultimately |
| 404s | affect the final product of a project |
| 405s | like the new war |
| 406s | um |
| 408s | it helps a ton and |
| 409s | moving forward we've actually even had |
| 411s | more of the animators step up and do |
| 412s | more of the acting themselves which is |
| 414s | really cool |
| 415s | um |
| 416s | yeah it's it's hard like a lot of people |
| 418s | think um you do the mocap and you're |
| 420s | done but |
| 423s | the amount of animation and key framing |
| 425s | work that goes into it to make the |
| 427s | performance have really good pacing and |
| 429s | exaggerations |
| 432s | they usually end up key framing the |
| 433s | hands entirely by hand same with the the |
| 437s | face animation |
| 438s | um but there's so much editing and and |
| 441s | like kind of artistry that goes into it |
| 443s | it's just it's a really good template |
| 444s | for a foundation to build on |
| 447s | um |
| 448s | but yeah the the amount of key framework |
| 450s | and artistry that goes into it to to |
| 452s | kind of get the performance out of it as |
| 454s | well yeah it's impressive going back to |
| 456s | kind of speaking on characters we of |
| 459s | course |
| 460s | in the mid section of the quest are |
| 462s | greeted with the drifter so uh we don't |
| 466s | know who this character is initially and |
| 468s | then all of a sudden |
| 470s | we're playing as them |
| 472s | so we have some early concept actually |
| 474s | eric this piece here |
| 477s | um so what were the early thoughts on |
| 479s | the drifter's overall appearance |
| 482s | well i spoke to jeff about this of |
| 485s | course in depth and uh we're in the |
| 487s | kamiki brothers too which you'll see |
| 489s | some of their stuff too coming up |
| 491s | just kind of like a haphazard collection |
| 493s | of parts uh because we didn't want it to |
| 496s | you want it to feel like you're playing |
| 497s | a grineer |
| 498s | but |
| 499s | not like kind of pieces of it so |
| 502s | so yeah i just try to grab like |
| 504s | like the knee pad for the helmet and |
| 506s | stuff and i was like oh well actually |
| 508s | that was the original idea that we |
| 509s | picked because um steve ended up liking |
| 512s | the |
| 514s | the kind of the the the main drifter |
| 516s | look yeah more than so the original idea |
| 519s | was um to start this quest out as |
| 522s | uh the the grineer cosmetic set oh right |
| 525s | which we actually yeah and then we were |
| 526s | gonna do the opposite oh yeah yeah we're |
| 528s | gonna do the opposite we're gonna offer |
| 530s | the other one later as an option |
| 533s | but we reversed it when like steve liked |
| 535s | the impression we made but we thought |
| 537s | when you start the mission you'd be |
| 538s | playing like as eric's |
| 540s | right um a grineer i do want to point |
| 542s | out that the the melee weapon strapped |
| 545s | in the concept here was swapped out with |
| 547s | the sheave a ferocious melee weapon as |
| 550s | we all know um |
| 552s | any creative |
| 554s | decision making there |
| 556s | the creative decision |
| 560s | hey look this exists |
| 566s | and then this next one here is |
| 567s | ultimately what we are familiar with so |
| 570s | um the poncho the poncho |
| 575s | also the uh i see some uh little facial |
| 578s | hair here in the concept art that wasn't |
| 581s | me |
| 582s | i might have inspired them because you |
| 584s | know they saw me and they're like yeah |
| 586s | he's pretty cool |
| 587s | let's put that in the game right it's |
| 588s | probably not what happened though |
| 591s | but it brings me to another question we |
| 592s | talked about this on the live stream |
| 594s | the beards the facial hair are we doing |
| 597s | are we still doing is this still planned |
| 598s | uh yeah there was actually an update |
| 600s | going in when we filmed do we say when |
| 602s | we're filming this yeah i mean it's it |
| 604s | is pre-recorded we are filming this what |
| 606s | is the date june 22nd |
| 608s | just a few days ago i saw someone check |
| 610s | it continuing on with key characters |
| 613s | our friend era |
| 615s | well |
| 616s | turned friend i guess you could say |
| 617s | because when we're on pragasa in the new |
| 619s | war quest uh |
| 622s | era seemingly saves us as we're going on |
| 624s | to the last arkhan fight he seemingly |
| 627s | perishes |
| 629s | at least that's what we think happens |
| 630s | under some debris and rubble |
| 633s | um but |
| 634s | he will be returning in some form but uh |
| 637s | maybe not the form that we are seems |
| 639s | like he really lost his head |
| 642s | oh carrie you're there |
| 649s | so we have this uh new arc on very cool |
| 652s | uh concept here which is just i |
| 655s | i mean what can you say about it it's |
| 658s | just it's kind of unreal yeah um we also |
| 661s | have the the model for it as well |
| 664s | um if you want to go to the next one |
| 665s | there sarah yeah |
| 667s | uh teeth lots of teeth |
| 670s | uh terrifying |
| 672s | is there anything we can say about this |
| 673s | without really saying anything i think |
| 676s | it's pretty clear |
| 679s | no but um i do i do remember |
| 682s | and i |
| 683s | appreciate it also that some people were |
| 685s | a little disappointed with era's |
| 686s | resolution in new war and |
| 688s | a lot of that decision was around scope |
| 691s | and time um |
| 692s | unfortunately because we did you know it |
| 694s | was it was a hard cut we had to make so |
| 696s | um but yeah we're trying to |
| 698s | fulfill that right |
| 700s | so we're bringing him back in a big way |
| 702s | awesome and uh you'll get to get to see |
| 705s | more of this new archon |
| 707s | in the future but yeah getting back to |
| 709s | the quest after we defeat the final |
| 711s | arcon we get to the final showdown |
| 714s | um this is at the of course the climax |
| 717s | of the quest um |
| 719s | it's surreal honestly craig did a great |
| 722s | job yeah |
| 723s | just an insane stage um and when it |
| 725s | comes to such like big stage moments |
| 728s | what are some of the goals and the |
| 729s | environment art to evoke these very |
| 732s | powerful emotional scenes |
| 734s | well i think there's a bit of like a |
| 736s | hierarchy to the whole experience you |
| 737s | know like there's egyptian pyramid vibes |
| 740s | which ties into a lot of what he has |
| 741s | going on as a character at that point |
| 743s | um you want like some connection to what |
| 746s | we've shown in the previous sets with |
| 748s | the sentient surround but then he's made |
| 749s | it his own |
| 750s | which is i think you know pretty |
| 752s | important for a character to get the |
| 753s | opportunity to put a stamp on the world |
| 755s | and then you're going to be blowing it |
| 757s | up so that's kind of an important thing |
| 759s | to try to factor in there somewhere too |
| 760s | so how celebrates will go as it gets uh |
| 762s | pulled into a black hole |
| 764s | kind of a bit of a thing yeah spoilers |
| 766s | right yeah spoilers yes again huge |
| 768s | spoiler warnings for this spoiler yeah |
| 771s | but uh it was funny sarah and i were as |
| 773s | we were putting the panel together we |
| 774s | had a discussion about how |
| 776s | it just feels like as the stage is |
| 778s | crumbling around you so are the |
| 780s | relationships that are playing out in |
| 782s | front of you with like ballast and lotus |
| 784s | yourself as either the operator the |
| 786s | drifter with lotus and ballas and it's |
| 788s | just utter chaos |
| 790s | it's a lot it is a lot yeah |
| 792s | it was very heavy |
| 793s | and just very cool and i this piece here |
| 796s | is just it's stunning of course craig |
| 798s | just yeah doing incredible this really |
| 800s | helped with the production because it |
| 802s | was it was a hard thing to figure out |
| 803s | like everything that all the motifs that |
| 805s | you kind of listed off was intentional |
| 807s | and just kind of figuring out how to |
| 808s | best kind of stage that |
| 809s | and have the progressive |
| 811s | kind of collapse of this you know while |
| 813s | you were |
| 814s | playing was it was pretty hard to |
| 815s | implement it came in |
| 817s | pretty late |
| 818s | yeah |
| 819s | but considering lots of people doing |
| 821s | really hard things yeah that one was |
| 822s | late actually but yes considering that |
| 824s | it was such a stellar moment and uh but |
| 827s | that moment was not over |
| 829s | you know we defeat ballas and we have |
| 831s | this almost moment of relief with her |
| 833s | we're like oh like it's over |
| 835s | and then the air gets sucked out of the |
| 837s | room and the man in the wall appears |
| 839s | and we're just kind of like |
| 841s | uh there's a little bit of a company |
| 843s | history of one more thing so |
| 845s | i would do the one more thing this would |
| 847s | be the one more thing |
| 848s | um i'd also be lying if i said i didn't |
| 851s | specifically look in the animation |
| 852s | folders for tim being hoisted up on a |
| 855s | plank by you in the way that the man in |
| 857s | the water was holding him i was like |
| 860s | like baby |
| 863s | yeah because that moment is just so |
| 865s | like it's completely unreal and um daryl |
| 868s | keyframed all that i was gonna say that |
| 870s | that would have happened it was like the |
| 873s | you know he's a pretty limited character |
| 874s | like |
| 875s | for what he can do mobility-wise |
| 879s | yeah yeah but uh |
| 882s | um yeah you know the new war was kind of |
| 885s | closure of a lot of things and we wanted |
| 887s | to make sure that we kind of um |
| 890s | gave players a taste of what the future |
| 892s | paths could be and i think carrie you |
| 894s | bring up a good point of like when we |
| 896s | first spoke of or said the name the man |
| 899s | in the wall and quest like the chains of |
| 901s | hero um i don't think people literally |
| 904s | meant |
| 904s | thought we meant a man in a wall i think |
| 907s | actually that concept has been hanging |
| 909s | around for a while so in our minds it |
| 911s | has literally been yeah |
| 913s | but to be fair and usually keith is on |
| 914s | these panels but um uh |
| 917s | you know and it's people can see it was |
| 919s | his concept that he did and |
| 921s | uh we just kind of like we're talking |
| 923s | this is years ago so we were just kind |
| 924s | of talking over the idea and how to |
| 926s | explore it and |
| 927s | he just tried one literal and it was it |
| 929s | was it was amazing so you guys had the |
| 931s | idea and then he kind of brought it to |
| 933s | life and then it just stopped it was |
| 935s | actually fun that a lot of players |
| 936s | noticed the |
| 938s | missing portion of him as well oh yeah |
| 941s | i wasn't gonna i wasn't gonna mention |
| 942s | but if you do look this is giving you a |
| 944s | really good look at |
| 946s | him as a whole because at the moment in |
| 948s | the quest it's very quick it's quick and |
| 950s | people picked up on it i was actually |
| 951s | really pleasantly surprised |
| 953s | so from the time that the concept |
| 954s | existed to actually seeing him in the |
| 957s | quest there was there's a lot of lore |
| 958s | that kind of happened in between that |
| 960s | point so |
| 961s | you know the red veil calling him like |
| 963s | the lidless eye and albert and trotty's |
| 965s | stories of or his encounters of the men |
| 967s | in the wall so |
| 969s | from those aspects did the concept to |
| 971s | the actual creation of the men in the |
| 973s | world did that change at all with those |
| 975s | in mind i think |
| 976s | i don't want to speak for them like but |
| 978s | i feel pretty comfortable saying that |
| 980s | that stuff like we had we had committed |
| 982s | to this i see okay so we committed this |
| 984s | so they used it as inspiration for a lot |
| 985s | of those ideas the only thing that |
| 986s | changed um |
| 988s | which i think we're going to get to |
| 989s | later but um you know the original idea |
| 992s | that keith pitched this was that |
| 994s | he kind of formed his wall of if you go |
| 996s | back to the original sketch you can see |
| 997s | a grineer ship in there |
| 999s | he kind of had collected lost |
| 1002s | ships in the void and made this form |
| 1005s | um |
| 1006s | so when we when we built it in 3d though |
| 1008s | we wanted to kind of tie it closer to |
| 1011s | how the void represents diviri and right |
| 1014s | uh things you see in which speaking of |
| 1017s | which |
| 1018s | speaking of which since we're on the |
| 1019s | topic of uh duvery the void kind of the |
| 1022s | unknown this is a really |
| 1025s | uh intriguing piece of concept art |
| 1027s | because it's not something that we |
| 1028s | actually complement the title of this |
| 1029s | card |
| 1033s | sarah |
| 1034s | sarah yes |
| 1035s | well done the grasp of the void really |
| 1038s | grabs you really it really does it |
| 1040s | really does uh but it's not something |
| 1043s | we've actually like experienced in the |
| 1045s | game |
| 1046s | at any point so |
| 1048s | when i saw this we're like is this more |
| 1050s | symbolic than anything else is this like |
| 1052s | quite literally what the void looks like |
| 1054s | is this just an interpretation of how |
| 1056s | much |
| 1057s | it's affected the zeraman like what we |
| 1059s | saw in angels of the ceremony and how is |
| 1061s | it one of many pictures that informed |
| 1062s | what the skybox decisions were |
| 1066s | yeah which we actually will see another |
| 1068s | picture |
| 1069s | and uh yeah speaking of kind of the |
| 1070s | skybox uh art |
| 1072s | that was put together for specifically |
| 1075s | angels of the ceremony um i think quite |
| 1077s | a bit of people noticed this when they |
| 1079s | were playing the quest as you load into |
| 1081s | the missions or even if you're just |
| 1082s | playing in the xero missions period um |
| 1086s | when you load into the ship you see the |
| 1088s | skybox and there's this |
| 1090s | kind of picturesque situation behind or |
| 1093s | i guess maybe beyond is maybe the better |
| 1095s | word of the ceremony but before we get |
| 1097s | into that before we dive deep into |
| 1100s | duveri which i'm sure a lot of people |
| 1101s | are very excited for we're going to do a |
| 1103s | quick intermission |
| 1105s | and look at some really incredible |
| 1108s | concept art so here's just a look at the |
| 1111s | concept work that went into by the |
| 1112s | incredible chomeki brothers and i think |
| 1114s | this was totally their pitch as well i |
| 1116s | don't know yeah yeah i don't think they |
| 1117s | were given any kind of |
| 1118s | like that's kind of the cool thing with |
| 1120s | deluxe's is that it kind of lets the |
| 1122s | internal artists um and sometimes |
| 1123s | external artists which is cool too uh |
| 1125s | just kind of |
| 1127s | do like here's our take on a here's our |
| 1129s | unique take on a warframe idea yeah |
| 1130s | right whenever we have some time just |
| 1132s | not very often but if we're waiting on |
| 1134s | feedback or something i tell the team |
| 1135s | hey if you have a if you have a deluxe |
| 1137s | idea you've been playing around with for |
| 1138s | a while or sitting on a shelf uh bring |
| 1141s | it back and so |
| 1142s | because ray sent me a big list of like |
| 1144s | these are all the ones we can have for |
| 1145s | uh deluxe option options so yeah they |
| 1148s | had this and i was like oh yeah i just |
| 1149s | run with that that looks amazing it's so |
| 1151s | good i uh i did actually have a chat |
| 1153s | with the |
| 1154s | tomekee brothers and they said they were |
| 1157s | really inspired by yoreli's kind of like |
| 1159s | playful |
| 1160s | anime style animations which i know |
| 1162s | pablo was was gunning for and i want to |
| 1165s | read this word for word |
| 1166s | the way that they described her |
| 1169s | they said that they have a passion for |
| 1170s | edgy tech and they wanted to propel |
| 1172s | titania's design into a and i quote |
| 1175s | dangerously pointy aerodynamic high-tech |
| 1178s | butterfly cyber night |
| 1180s | that's amazing well they really nailed |
| 1181s | it successfully they did right they did |
| 1184s | we also have her of course her |
| 1187s | exalted weapons the dex pixia |
| 1189s | just |
| 1190s | bringing in that like high-tech style |
| 1192s | again |
| 1193s | and her duwatta |
| 1196s | uh very cool |
| 1198s | i love that that's |
| 1200s | amazing they touched on uh on every |
| 1202s | aspect of her like even her razor flies |
| 1205s | in her razor wing got the treatment as |
| 1207s | well so her our cute little fairy |
| 1211s | fairy lads are rocking the tech as well |
| 1214s | yep amazing work yeah and then of of |
| 1216s | course the sign donna as well |
| 1218s | very very cool um |
| 1221s | the next uh |
| 1224s | deluxe we've already shown so cool so |
| 1226s | this is really just um a reminder of |
| 1230s | liger's zaku deluxe which we showed in |
| 1233s | the first dev stream at the beginning of |
| 1235s | this year i believe oh man we did i yeah |
| 1239s | i know it feels like a lifetime ago but |
| 1241s | um |
| 1242s | this |
| 1242s | i think it was the what is it uh the |
| 1245s | kitsugi that's right the konsuki method |
| 1247s | japanese method of um |
| 1249s | putting running together with gold right |
| 1250s | repairing broken things yeah |
| 1252s | so |
| 1253s | now |
| 1255s | i said this was a spoiler-filled stream |
| 1258s | and it continues to be but for the sake |
| 1260s | for the sake of salvaging a major moment |
| 1264s | in the new war quest i'm not gonna say |
| 1265s | anything beyond just for those of you |
| 1268s | who know you know so sarah you can uh |
| 1271s | show this next |
| 1272s | slide here |
| 1274s | so for those of you who know |
| 1276s | you know |
| 1277s | but this uh specific cosmetic will be |
| 1279s | coming in the zaku deluxe very cool |
| 1282s | collection which of course again uh by |
| 1285s | liger it's |
| 1287s | just i'm so excited yeah and this was um |
| 1290s | lager getting inspired uh |
| 1293s | to offer this kind of cosmetic choice |
| 1295s | based on how things go |
| 1299s | yeah i made this pitch and then they |
| 1300s | they killed it that's awesome amazing |
| 1302s | and |
| 1304s | liger also let me know that uh it |
| 1306s | was |
| 1307s | there was a lot of inspiration from the |
| 1308s | kind of duvery stylings as well |
| 1311s | um so really lovely plays into that |
| 1313s | theme this isn't the next deluxe coming |
| 1316s | out just to be clear |
| 1318s | this is just some progress on zaku |
| 1320s | deluxe stuff since everyone was very |
| 1321s | excited about that you know it wouldn't |
| 1323s | be a |
| 1324s | art panel stream without announcing the |
| 1326s | next prime warframe |
| 1328s | so |
| 1329s | cora prime |
| 1331s | is our next prime warframe good to steal |
| 1333s | all of them |
| 1335s | i'm only showing the concepts yeah just |
| 1337s | a little just a little bit again 10 0 |
| 1339s | live 5 p.m you'll get to see more of |
| 1341s | that but uh |
| 1343s | it was only fitting that skyers uh put |
| 1346s | together core prime because as we know |
| 1348s | or maybe you don't know |
| 1349s | skyers is the creator designer of cora |
| 1353s | and venari from top to bottom with of |
| 1355s | course the help of the team so he put |
| 1357s | together |
| 1358s | core prime so we see some early concepts |
| 1360s | here and she's just so cool regal really |
| 1363s | great vibe yeah |
| 1365s | beautiful very neat |
| 1366s | uh and then of course her venari her |
| 1368s | little furry companion is also getting |
| 1371s | the prime treatment not so furry not |
| 1373s | yeah actually |
| 1376s | we've gone away with the fern we've |
| 1377s | replaced it with pointy golden things |
| 1379s | but uh very exciting really cool yeah |
| 1383s | so that was our little uh i think i got |
| 1385s | everything for our intuition so we're |
| 1387s | gonna go back let's go back let's go |
| 1389s | back to some we've had our off dove |
| 1392s | we're going for the for there's no |
| 1393s | pressure in the intermission |
| 1395s | there is no pressure in the intervention |
| 1396s | now you guys got to be on your a-game |
| 1398s | because we're at a main course situation |
| 1400s | here now |
| 1401s | so would you guys say that the new war |
| 1404s | was like the first big step towards |
| 1407s | duveri from like a player perspective |
| 1410s | when you're working on it was to very |
| 1412s | kind of in the back your mind like are |
| 1413s | we |
| 1414s | kind of |
| 1415s | not mine |
| 1419s | was pretty much all-encompassing yeah |
| 1421s | we knew it was the next step of course |
| 1422s | yeah yeah and the thing that's some of |
| 1424s | the things we were introducing here we'd |
| 1425s | um |
| 1427s | kind of revisit i guess yeah and then |
| 1429s | thematically you have parts of degree |
| 1431s | for sure |
| 1432s | and then of course with angels of zeramy |
| 1434s | we literally |
| 1435s | get even closer to that point which is |
| 1438s | why we're bringing the skybox back here |
| 1441s | and uh it only makes sense to uh go back |
| 1444s | to 2019 |
| 1446s | when skybox guys don't get enough call |
| 1449s | outs |
| 1451s | yeah they're so good they're incredible |
| 1453s | yeah absolutely yeah and they kill it |
| 1456s | and they often get crazy requests a lot |
| 1458s | of times |
| 1459s | for |
| 1460s | other ideas and they're just the coolest |
| 1462s | guys to work they're so good they're |
| 1463s | super tall |
| 1465s | 2019 was the year tennocon was the event |
| 1469s | and we |
| 1471s | debuted the duvery paradox trailer |
| 1474s | and i just want to go through some of |
| 1475s | the concept art that kind of went into |
| 1477s | yeah |
| 1478s | i really loved working on it so that |
| 1480s | entry scene we have the man |
| 1483s | on the ground we're like |
| 1485s | disorientated we're not sure where we're |
| 1487s | at and then this crazy creature comes |
| 1489s | flying above head |
| 1491s | when i asked you guys |
| 1493s | what the right concept was for this |
| 1496s | so there's actually two |
| 1498s | again works by keith thompson the answer |
| 1500s | is yes and the answer is yes um i |
| 1502s | thought these were completely duke |
| 1504s | different creatures but we have a cat |
| 1506s | dog situation happening here where |
| 1508s | they're it's a double-sided worm that's |
| 1510s | right |
| 1511s | cells are the jet engines on the back |
| 1514s | so is there like a case where like they |
| 1516s | have completely different |
| 1517s | characteristics like are they |
| 1519s | do they have |
| 1521s | like |
| 1522s | purposes for being on one end versus |
| 1524s | like i'm just generally |
| 1526s | curious genuinely there's jet engines on |
| 1528s | one end oh it's you weren't lying no |
| 1531s | yeah one one actually is the back one is |
| 1533s | the back yeah yeah |
| 1535s | okay so we have the propelling yeah yeah |
| 1537s | that's right and then the uh the one in |
| 1539s | the front is the uh i guess the attack |
| 1543s | because it does literally have a the |
| 1545s | previous image was the front the |
| 1546s | previous image was the front yeah |
| 1547s | because it's got a it's got a gun |
| 1549s | underneath it's got a chin |
| 1551s | it's got thingies up above its head |
| 1554s | and it is like it's a it's dragon |
| 1556s | inspired and yeah there's themes and |
| 1558s | diviri that kind of |
| 1560s | are why it's a dragon dragons they're so |
| 1562s | cool |
| 1562s | so we after we get to visit our worm |
| 1565s | friend here we're greeted by maybe greed |
| 1568s | it isn't the right word but like you're |
| 1570s | greeted you know you're on your way to |
| 1571s | walmart you're going to pass by this guy |
| 1573s | you're welcome |
| 1574s | just checking in and seeing what's up um |
| 1578s | soldiers and i had a lot of fun working |
| 1579s | on this which is yeah actually |
| 1582s | i know sorry to the community it's been |
| 1583s | so long but |
| 1585s | yeah but we're here talking about it now |
| 1587s | so it is a couple of years yeah they're |
| 1589s | late than never better late than never |
| 1590s | so we have the doc soldier um |
| 1593s | again another original piece by keith |
| 1595s | thompson and just |
| 1597s | yeah yeah so there's like a bit of an |
| 1599s | incomplete theme that kind of goes on in |
| 1601s | a lot of the davier aesthetics so |
| 1604s | that's why you're kind of seeing |
| 1605s | portions of |
| 1606s | these concepts are kind of exploring |
| 1608s | that which we see a lot of in the later |
| 1610s | concepts we'll show kind of the |
| 1612s | fractured nature of things yeah and if |
| 1615s | people look at the horse again and stuff |
| 1616s | like that |
| 1618s | yeah i guess |
| 1619s | eric from your point of view just being |
| 1620s | working with the concept team |
| 1622s | seems like there's a lot of freedom |
| 1624s | from digital extreme side to let our |
| 1626s | artists kind of |
| 1628s | work off of whatever their comfort |
| 1629s | levels are because they're waiting for |
| 1630s | feedback |
| 1632s | we're waiting for feedback 24 7. |
| 1634s | so lots of iterations happen so much |
| 1636s | exploration is happening no i encourage |
| 1638s | everyone to like what's so great about |
| 1640s | warframe is that we want everyone's kind |
| 1642s | of unique touch and and ideas to things |
| 1644s | so |
| 1645s | um |
| 1646s | as jeff said some some like very |
| 1648s | detailed concepts work from others |
| 1650s | we encourage kind of creative freedom in |
| 1652s | a way right within time frame |
| 1656s | yeah that's always the tricky one yeah |
| 1658s | but it's fun it's it's i always say it's |
| 1660s | the best job in the industry sorry |
| 1662s | you'll get that we get to have a lot of |
| 1663s | fun |
| 1664s | being creative in this game and the |
| 1666s | people here that make it it's awesome it |
| 1668s | works right so |
| 1670s | and uh |
| 1672s | yeah this is this is just so so the docs |
| 1675s | of course riding the case |
| 1677s | are uh |
| 1679s | just we still love this can we get |
| 1681s | sculptures |
| 1687s | you know like the toy uh you put a coin |
| 1690s | in and pony in it rocks |
| 1694s | i don't know if it'd be comfortable |
| 1695s | though but |
| 1696s | no not at all |
| 1697s | um |
| 1698s | so yeah the the mount that the dax is |
| 1701s | riding is this case here and we've only |
| 1704s | seen one variant of it just from the |
| 1706s | trailer itself um there's actually three |
| 1709s | variants there is and uh all beautiful |
| 1712s | they're all just so stunning oh yeah man |
| 1714s | though it's so cool |
| 1717s | it's so interesting that like you see so |
| 1719s | much like like interior anatomy and |
| 1721s | usually that's kind of like like |
| 1723s | horrific you know skeletal and stuff but |
| 1725s | there's such a beauty like a combo of |
| 1727s | the two yeah it's just like really |
| 1728s | blended so well yeah it's amazing to |
| 1730s | watch a look at so that one probably not |
| 1732s | the funnest no it's a little more uh |
| 1735s | intimidating it's a little bit more |
| 1737s | abstract yeah are gorgeous too i guess |
| 1739s | that's another case of when translating |
| 1742s | concept |
| 1743s | over into what could actually you know i |
| 1745s | think these ones are so intricate like |
| 1748s | um |
| 1748s | you'll find the models are very close to |
| 1750s | these concepts yeah i think just because |
| 1753s | the complexity of it and just kind of |
| 1755s | how detailed they are |
| 1757s | um |
| 1758s | sometimes a concept is |
| 1760s | like it's so clear you know and then the |
| 1762s | idea itself is so abstract that they |
| 1764s | just kind of are good to kind of follow |
| 1766s | from right |
| 1767s | um |
| 1769s | so |
| 1770s | when people first saw |
| 1772s | the |
| 1773s | mount in the trailer the first thought |
| 1775s | immediately because we love mounts |
| 1778s | in general or any modes of |
| 1780s | transportation you're really going to |
| 1782s | steal the funnel |
| 1784s | i'm only showing certain aspects of it |
| 1786s | you approved to do all that i i was |
| 1788s | approved i think you snuck all this in |
| 1791s | thank you |
| 1792s | maybe a little bit |
| 1805s | you are |
| 1808s | so yes you will be able to |
| 1810s | ride these beauties ride the beasts |
| 1813s | amazing |
| 1814s | and yeah we have k drives we have arc |
| 1816s | wings and now we have mounts |
| 1819s | now we have mounts 100 credit to just |
| 1822s | how talented |
| 1823s | the animators are fantastic yeah all |
| 1825s | hand uh keyframed animation on the other |
| 1827s | hand jeff was really excited about |
| 1829s | getting a horse into the mocap studio at |
| 1830s | one point but yeah nobody wanted to do |
| 1833s | this |
| 1833s | yeah |
| 1837s | [Laughter] |
| 1842s | yeah like the the animation on that is |
| 1844s | beautiful that's only a snippet there is |
| 1847s | um |
| 1848s | um like any kind of any time i think |
| 1849s | i've talked about this before but |
| 1850s | anytime we do |
| 1852s | mobility animations things that have to |
| 1854s | like have movement driven uh animations |
| 1856s | it's just a huge huge library of work um |
| 1861s | and so that's just the taste but it's |
| 1862s | really how does that go because i mean |
| 1864s | you're making little small snippets that |
| 1865s | gets stitched together in the game and |
| 1867s | like how does an animator do that in |
| 1868s | their head where it like it flows uh |
| 1871s | there's there's a lot of back and forth |
| 1873s | there's some new systems coming in for |
| 1874s | this as well with uh with daniel on the |
| 1878s | side um |
| 1879s | and the animation driven kind of |
| 1880s | movement um |
| 1881s | so it's a lot of collaboration you know |
| 1883s | like like a lot of |
| 1885s | um it's kind of like taking a lot of |
| 1887s | pieces of movement and then in the code |
| 1888s | they stitch it together |
| 1892s | so when we get to the end of the 2019 |
| 1893s | trailer we have the title |
| 1896s | trailer i don't watch it again you |
| 1898s | should it's great you guys did a great |
| 1900s | job |
| 1901s | uh we're met with this very kind of |
| 1903s | shrouded character in the back |
| 1905s | and we're all wondering |
| 1907s | okay who the who the heck is this and we |
| 1909s | have some concept art of this particular |
| 1912s | individual |
| 1913s | who you will learn more about and i |
| 1915s | don't think we will say much more than |
| 1916s | that but diminitus thrax |
| 1918s | is here and uh there's quite a bit of |
| 1922s | significance in the mask like that's |
| 1924s | definitely something that you see often |
| 1926s | like not just only in our promotions for |
| 1928s | duvery and even for this year's tennocon |
| 1930s | the duvery theme is very much centered |
| 1932s | around the mask and was that a |
| 1934s | significance that was pulled from |
| 1936s | keith's concept here that was decided on |
| 1938s | like from the team |
| 1941s | yes yes yes yeah yeah i think i think |
| 1943s | the |
| 1945s | we the kind of ideas that he explored |
| 1947s | that we wanted |
| 1948s | him to help us visualize |
| 1950s | um the mask was all him he kind of threw |
| 1952s | it in there and it was just such a |
| 1953s | strong element that we kind of built on |
| 1955s | it you know we kind of re we kind of |
| 1957s | rethought the the trailer itself |
| 1959s | actually to work around the mask um kind |
| 1962s | of like we were already in progress then |
| 1964s | we kind of pivoted because we like the |
| 1966s | elements so much |
| 1967s | very cool yep so now we get into |
| 1971s | the cool all of this has been cool but |
| 1972s | here's the extra cool stuff |
| 1975s | uh are do very exploration of the |
| 1978s | landscape itself and |
| 1980s | let me tell you this is only a fraction |
| 1982s | of some of the pieces i saw this is so |
| 1984s | old yeah there is so much stuff |
| 1987s | this is the first stuff |
| 1989s | mike's bulge and myself we were |
| 1990s | exploring this stuff as you'll see i |
| 1992s | think the next one is mike's um |
| 1994s | but yeah this is still relevant though |
| 1996s | yeah yeah which is really cool it's been |
| 1998s | i think three years plus right so but i |
| 2000s | remember talking with jeff we you kind |
| 2002s | of explained it to us like you wanted |
| 2004s | the ship to come in and like it would |
| 2006s | build this land out |
| 2007s | like it would kind of spread from it and |
| 2009s | create create land masses and uh |
| 2012s | there were these big tower ideas that |
| 2014s | were uh discussed as well they'd move |
| 2016s | across the land and so like this next |
| 2018s | one i did i just was trying to build |
| 2020s | upon that idea and |
| 2022s | and uh yeah you had some really cool |
| 2024s | ideas for that that i know |
| 2026s | we kind of went away from this i think |
| 2028s | so |
| 2029s | a little bit but uh there's still some |
| 2032s | nuggets in there though yeah yeah i |
| 2034s | think the old idea was because it's um |
| 2036s | a colony ship that it has some emergency |
| 2039s | tech in it and it got stranded that it |
| 2041s | can kind of do its own terraforming |
| 2043s | um which is why it's kind of fractal |
| 2045s | based um it's kind of like this this |
| 2048s | world built on math and uh then it gets |
| 2050s | corrupted by the void as well right yeah |
| 2053s | um |
| 2054s | it's clear as we go through these |
| 2057s | concepts like even this especially wow |
| 2059s | that's right it has gone through so many |
| 2061s | different styles and artists and just |
| 2065s | the feelings that it evokes and the |
| 2067s | questions that you start asking yourself |
| 2069s | like this is i would say pretty far |
| 2072s | from what we saw in the trailer so what |
| 2074s | was kind of the |
| 2075s | the goal with this one in particular oh |
| 2078s | geez i think it was like |
| 2079s | if you can kind of see in the back that |
| 2081s | it's like the big like circular dome was |
| 2083s | like you're close to the ship so things |
| 2085s | that were closer to the ship had more |
| 2087s | like definition and stuff but still |
| 2088s | we're weird and we looked at like dolly |
| 2091s | and these other kind of artists as |
| 2092s | reference and stuff and |
| 2094s | i missed the mark with this one but it |
| 2096s | was it was neat it's going to sound like |
| 2098s | it's going to sound like a dig it's not |
| 2099s | but |
| 2100s | the great thing about honestly the great |
| 2102s | thing about concept though is that |
| 2103s | sometimes you have to see what you don't |
| 2105s | want exactly |
| 2108s | so so i think this is like one of the |
| 2110s | first ones eric did and he kind of went |
| 2112s | off the idea of the |
| 2114s | the the fractal construction and just |
| 2116s | kind of threw this out and we were like |
| 2116s | yeah we'll never be able to make this |
| 2118s | yeah |
| 2119s | for sure it's really good to get that |
| 2121s | down at the viewing stage |
| 2126s | but it also kind of sparks conversation |
| 2128s | and you know gives you get really good |
| 2130s | feedback out of it and you kind of build |
| 2131s | from there so yeah you might take like |
| 2133s | like a corner a little piece of a |
| 2135s | section going that's kind of a neat |
| 2136s | pattern system let's apply it to the |
| 2138s | next thing like legitimate you do in |
| 2139s | concept art you kind of want to see big |
| 2141s | ideas yes you know that yep that you can |
| 2143s | kind of you know you kind of have to |
| 2145s | reject but earlier kind of earlier |
| 2149s | i always say we're very huge big ideas |
| 2151s | way too late while you're waiting for |
| 2152s | feedback yeah while we're waiting for |
| 2153s | feedback obviously you know we're |
| 2155s | sending big ideas i guess that's a yeah |
| 2156s | it's a good question too carrie for the |
| 2158s | environment team when you see these |
| 2159s | concepts and you're going the |
| 2161s | environment team would not see that |
| 2162s | concept |
| 2164s | no there'd be several layers of |
| 2165s | protection |
| 2167s | they're hidden in my folders and |
| 2168s | sometimes sometimes other people get |
| 2170s | them and i'm like why are they building |
| 2172s | from that that's not allowed |
| 2173s | yeah so is there really there's a lot of |
| 2175s | kind of like |
| 2177s | you know seeing these pieces and picking |
| 2178s | and choosing some elements that maybe |
| 2180s | you take chunks of little bits and then |
| 2182s | what we can do and then what evokes and |
| 2184s | then you kind of come back to some |
| 2185s | things much later when it's like okay |
| 2187s | there was a this problem was partially |
| 2188s | solved then right and then you can run |
| 2190s | it down to a degree like you're not |
| 2191s | looking to burn through id after idea |
| 2193s | you're trying to get to one place but |
| 2195s | you know at the beginning you know there |
| 2197s | might be something here here and here |
| 2198s | and then you're kind of going that way |
| 2199s | and then maybe there's a nugget yeah |
| 2200s | from over here yeah and to give those |
| 2202s | guys also their their due like you kind |
| 2204s | of have to rely on their expertise with |
| 2206s | building the stuff yeah to realize |
| 2208s | something that works in a concept |
| 2211s | isn't going to work in 3d and then they |
| 2212s | have to kind of problem solve |
| 2214s | and figure out how to kind of interpret |
| 2216s | it you know and kind of make it into a |
| 2218s | system um here we actually see something |
| 2220s | that is more in line with what you |
| 2223s | actually actually experience in the |
| 2224s | trailer and i think i would say is |
| 2227s | probably we got we're getting a lot |
| 2228s | closer here to what daviri is ultimately |
| 2232s | panning out to be well that's this is |
| 2234s | still old stuff oh is it which is |
| 2236s | hilarious he had this yeah but |
| 2237s | that actually goes back to the prior |
| 2239s | point yeah where it's like this now has |
| 2240s | relevance again right so you get a |
| 2242s | really iconic moment like you can tell |
| 2243s | yourself the hero's journey when you |
| 2245s | look at that yeah absolutely |
| 2247s | and uh yeah again you see kind of these |
| 2249s | now that we're talking about it i am |
| 2250s | seeing these elements being |
| 2252s | pulled in and the of course like the |
| 2254s | idea of the paradox is very clearly |
| 2257s | um communicated here too also just the |
| 2260s | level of kind of absurdity and |
| 2263s | we almost have like an it looks like |
| 2264s | like it's like an elephant graveyard |
| 2268s | like this especially like you know this |
| 2271s | and even when we saw on like the the the |
| 2274s | case mount like we see |
| 2277s | the horse kind of i think with |
| 2278s | yeah the horse kind of like was the aha |
| 2280s | moment |
| 2282s | honestly like before any of this work |
| 2283s | was being done i think is that right |
| 2285s | yeah yeah the horse kind of came in and |
| 2287s | and it kind of dictated a lot of mm-hmm |
| 2289s | we pulled a lot from that yeah |
| 2291s | it's always difficult too how do you |
| 2292s | take something that is that organic and |
| 2294s | that crazy and then take it into the |
| 2295s | size of a world because you know it's |
| 2297s | like it works at this size and then once |
| 2299s | you start to |
| 2300s | walk through it how does it work out |
| 2302s | that's so interesting just from that one |
| 2304s | piece you can build yeah it's about |
| 2306s | language yeah |
| 2308s | yep that's awesome oh speaking of |
| 2310s | graveyards |
| 2312s | uh i don't know how else you could |
| 2314s | well well yeah well |
| 2316s | look at this good stuff yeah |
| 2319s | amazing so bulge did a lot of work on |
| 2320s | this yeah it was so talented yes |
| 2323s | honestly but then there's actually |
| 2325s | vegetation |
| 2326s | um and these studies are so interesting |
| 2330s | to see kind of the |
| 2332s | the nitty gritty elements that go into |
| 2334s | building up |
| 2335s | these spaces that are just so vastly |
| 2337s | different from one another |
| 2339s | yeah and color is a very important even |
| 2342s | though you haven't seen a lot of it |
| 2344s | color is a very important role in diviri |
| 2346s | but even when we were exploring the the |
| 2348s | trailer being heavily black and white |
| 2350s | you're still looking at it in color |
| 2352s | right you know before you yeah so yeah |
| 2354s | and then we have something like this as |
| 2355s | well where |
| 2356s | um i think this is really interesting |
| 2358s | too because even for me as a player this |
| 2361s | for me is the first kind of sign of |
| 2364s | life beyond what we've already seen in a |
| 2366s | way that's so different |
| 2368s | so |
| 2369s | the amphitheater |
| 2371s | wow we are um |
| 2374s | which is a place you guys will be going |
| 2376s | to where carrie starts to shrink |
| 2378s | [Laughter] |
| 2380s | disappears into his chair yeah tenno |
| 2382s | live is the place to be if you're in |
| 2384s | game uh this will be where we have our |
| 2388s | live event moment is that how you spell |
| 2390s | it yeah |
| 2391s | probably not amphib emphy theater oh i |
| 2394s | forgot an age |
| 2395s | empty |
| 2396s | [Laughter] |
| 2404s | yeah again another kind of sign of |
| 2408s | life i guess on duvery or you know |
| 2410s | amphitheaters |
| 2411s | generally a place of culture and |
| 2414s | entertainment and |
| 2415s | presentations which again is a great |
| 2418s | spot for us for our actual presentation |
| 2421s | during uh tenno live at 5 p.m |
| 2424s | and um |
| 2425s | what was the kind of design process for |
| 2428s | like |
| 2429s | building a stage specifically |
| 2431s | for the event is there any like |
| 2432s | particular significance to this location |
| 2435s | as well in the daviri landscape |
| 2438s | wow |
| 2440s | choose your words yeah carefully and i |
| 2442s | am not going to be able to tell you very |
| 2444s | much about it yeah we'll keep our lips |
| 2446s | sealed so they'll just have to wait |
| 2447s | until either we'll be the right one okay |
| 2450s | okay perfect |
| 2451s | bomfestine |
| 2453s | another character uh you will be meeting |
| 2455s | uh won't say anything really more than |
| 2458s | that you'll just have to experience |
| 2459s | bombisteen |
| 2460s | um |
| 2461s | come the live event and just like to |
| 2464s | speak to how long these concepts have |
| 2465s | been going on for i think he was done |
| 2467s | before the horse was oh wow so that's |
| 2469s | why so the the team that's working on |
| 2471s | bombstein now we kind of have to circle |
| 2473s | back and kind of like uh there's they're |
| 2476s | very similar aspects to this design but |
| 2478s | it's um |
| 2479s | it's been updated we see and is this the |
| 2481s | updated uh yeah awesome and then |
| 2483s | there'll be updates to the update and |
| 2484s | then there'll be updates and updates |
| 2486s | yeah nice work by marco again |
| 2488s | and that uh concludes our segment on |
| 2492s | duvery wow so |
| 2494s | i know we kind of blew through it so you |
| 2496s | don't have to watch tenno live anymore |
| 2499s | just i just blew it all out of the water |
| 2501s | we're the new tunnel |
| 2504s | is there anything more you guys want to |
| 2505s | say about the process of |
| 2508s | building something that's been discussed |
| 2510s | and kind of |
| 2511s | thought about from the players since |
| 2513s | 2019 really |
| 2515s | uh just that it's been a lot of work and |
| 2517s | carrie's been a real champ yeah he's |
| 2520s | doing a great job on it and and jeff's |
| 2523s | feedback has been great |
| 2525s | even though you're waiting even though |
| 2526s | we're waiting on it |
| 2527s | when it comes though yeah yeah i think |
| 2529s | it's always just about the team yeah |
| 2532s | the team right now |
| 2534s | you know they're working on it right |
| 2536s | right the second absolutely you know and |
| 2537s | like um if my phone was allowed to buzz |
| 2539s | it yeah |
| 2541s | never at all moment with the team so |
| 2543s | yeah everyone's doing such a great job |
| 2545s | start to finish this amazing stuff |
| 2547s | it's very impressive it's really cool to |
| 2548s | see the process and thank you for |
| 2550s | sharing the concept work and |
| 2552s | approving it which i will say there was |
| 2554s | approval for these things jeff is |
| 2557s | shaking his head but |
| 2558s | sarah just ran through this through me |
| 2560s | when i sat down |
| 2561s | she's hiding she's running out she's |
| 2565s | i don't want anything to do with this |
| 2567s | um we do have |
| 2569s | one last reveal uh-oh but before we get |
| 2572s | into that it is a special segment with |
| 2574s | myself eric and a special guest but |
| 2576s | before we get into that uh i want to |
| 2579s | thank am i getting kicked out |
| 2582s | goodbye |
| 2584s | very well |
| 2589s | but i appreciate you guys coming out |
| 2591s | today and uh |
| 2592s | doing the art panel every year is just |
| 2594s | such a joy and awesome and huge thanks |
| 2598s | to you and sarah sarah of course yeah |
| 2602s | [Music] |
| 2605s | dean and the team |
| 2610s | but all we had to do was show up and |
| 2611s | take credit yes there you go that's true |
| 2613s | there you go but we appreciate it thank |
| 2614s | you for making it easy yes and we |
| 2616s | appreciate all the hard work on the art |
| 2618s | team there is a whole cast of just |
| 2622s | incredible talent |
| 2624s | art team and beyond and it's always such |
| 2627s | an honor to show everyone's work with |
| 2630s | the community and get people excited for |
| 2632s | these things so thank you all absolutely |
| 2634s | and i think we're going to get into this |
| 2636s | one last segment see you all in the |
| 2638s | amphitheater tonight see you all there |
| 2641s | thanks for watching actually keep |
| 2642s | watching we're not done yet we're not |
| 2643s | done we're not done yet oh my god |
| 2646s | what's happening ever since we put out a |
| 2648s | survey earlier this year i actually |
| 2650s | think it was the beginning of this year |
| 2651s | about the warframe experience |
| 2654s | and we had a very specific question in |
| 2655s | there that was uh we have fairies if you |
| 2658s | didn't catch it if you didn't catch it |
| 2660s | we have fairies we have necromancers uh |
| 2663s | would it be nice to have a werewolf |
| 2665s | theme |
| 2666s | and uh unanimously everyone |
| 2669s | said pretty much yes |
| 2671s | so we are here today with a very special |
| 2675s | guest uh a comic book legend a founder |
| 2679s | of airship |
| 2680s | syndicate studios joe we hear him in the |
| 2683s | backpack |
| 2686s | also known as joe madd is here uh |
| 2689s | famously known for your work |
| 2691s | on the marvel comics like uncanny x-men |
| 2695s | the battle chaser series as eric here is |
| 2697s | so proudly displaying |
| 2700s | and the darksiders games and we are |
| 2703s | lucky enough to have joe here today to |
| 2705s | talk about the process of putting |
| 2707s | together a really rad warframe that the |
| 2710s | community has been asking for so hello |
| 2713s | joe welcome thank you for joining us |
| 2716s | thank you it's great to be here thanks |
| 2718s | yeah awesome we're really excited uh |
| 2720s | we're here to discuss the opportunity |
| 2721s | that eric and the team here at digital |
| 2723s | extremes had working with joe |
| 2726s | to bring to life uh a wolf themed |
| 2728s | warframe and we have some concept work |
| 2731s | here uh just kind of some progress shots |
| 2734s | of that whole experience so we're gonna |
| 2736s | go through that today gonna ask some |
| 2738s | questions and we can get started why |
| 2740s | don't we start with uh some early |
| 2742s | work we have here sure sounds good yeah |
| 2744s | i guess joe could speak to these of |
| 2745s | course |
| 2748s | yeah so |
| 2750s | i mean |
| 2750s | from the onset i was super excited you |
| 2753s | know both because i love |
| 2756s | warframe and all the awesome designs of |
| 2758s | the frames but |
| 2759s | i also love |
| 2761s | uh monsters that's really what i was |
| 2764s | drawing when i was a kid i i was just |
| 2766s | fascinated by |
| 2768s | creatures dragons dinosaurs whatever and |
| 2772s | so |
| 2773s | you know werewolves vampires anything |
| 2775s | like that uh it's what i get super |
| 2778s | excited about so obviously this |
| 2779s | combination |
| 2781s | uh was something i you know i was all |
| 2783s | about it but as soon as i heard about it |
| 2785s | i was like i want this |
| 2787s | and |
| 2788s | the tricky part is you know how how |
| 2791s | werewolf to go you know how wolf is to |
| 2793s | wolf uh and he's still fitting within |
| 2796s | warframe and and putting that sci-fi |
| 2799s | spin on it so there was a lot of |
| 2802s | exploration we did eric |
| 2804s | uh contributed a lot as well and kind of |
| 2806s | helped keep me |
| 2809s | in like on the right track uh and so we |
| 2812s | just |
| 2813s | played around for a while and tried |
| 2815s | different things and |
| 2817s | and figured out so cool what worked yeah |
| 2820s | so it's it's been super fun yeah it's |
| 2822s | gone through a lot of changes absolutely |
| 2824s | yeah so and i guess the werewolf theme |
| 2827s | like as a whole has had so many |
| 2829s | permutations over the centuries like a |
| 2832s | traditional like lichen folk you know |
| 2834s | these fantasy stories so what was the |
| 2836s | process of kind of |
| 2837s | you know as you mentioned joe |
| 2839s | reinventing |
| 2840s | this well-known well-loved theme and a |
| 2843s | character into a game like warframe |
| 2845s | which is very |
| 2846s | sci-fi |
| 2849s | yeah so i think |
| 2851s | on the very first few |
| 2854s | we went very werewolf with it you know |
| 2856s | like taking into account |
| 2858s | the the gameplay and design uh stuff we |
| 2861s | we just it helped reign us in and uh |
| 2864s | [Music] |
| 2866s | you know |
| 2867s | it's like how could we turn fur |
| 2870s | into armor how do we it right like |
| 2873s | the shapes that |
| 2874s | will convey sort of like a canine |
| 2879s | creature aspect and then |
| 2881s | yeah the |
| 2882s | i think one of the things that we |
| 2883s | struggled to initially was the claws |
| 2886s | right we were told uh no more claws |
| 2888s | because we had uh |
| 2890s | sevigoth we got um garuda garuda and uh |
| 2895s | well even and valkyrie was kind of like |
| 2896s | the one we had to kind of stay away from |
| 2898s | as much as possible which of course we |
| 2900s | wanted we drew claws and everything we |
| 2902s | had |
| 2903s | but then we started to pull it back i |
| 2904s | did this i did this weird insect thing |
| 2906s | here yeah i think uh there's like a joke |
| 2908s | that i just put faces and teeth on |
| 2911s | everything especially when i was working |
| 2913s | which is literally what we're looking at |
| 2915s | right here lots of faces and teeth yeah |
| 2917s | so i was like let me just uh do my thing |
| 2920s | and put faces and teeth all over this |
| 2922s | thing and then it kind of helped |
| 2926s | you know it's like hey okay what if they |
| 2927s | were more wolf-like faces and you know |
| 2930s | like they they they articulate and the |
| 2932s | mouths open and stuff like that and that |
| 2935s | kind of started to push us in like a |
| 2937s | cool direction right |
| 2939s | again it's always more fun to start |
| 2941s | crazy and then dial it back a little bit |
| 2944s | so i wasn't really taking into account |
| 2946s | like hey is this giant shoulder going to |
| 2948s | block |
| 2949s | getting reticle yeah |
| 2953s | but as we're you know uh |
| 2955s | working the the design aspects in a |
| 2957s | little bit more game design |
| 2959s | uh it's it's helping uh |
| 2962s | take shape a lot as you can see and i |
| 2964s | think we arrived at something that |
| 2966s | hits all the |
| 2968s | the right marks hopefully yes uh at |
| 2970s | least for us but yeah yeah yeah really |
| 2973s | the players that get to decide |
| 2975s | yeah yeah this is going to be dope |
| 2978s | the idea of like |
| 2979s | well i don't think it speaks to the |
| 2981s | abilities we better not but uh still in |
| 2983s | progress so it's a lot of this is |
| 2984s | working for yourself we can talk about |
| 2986s | like the |
| 2987s | the elements of like a wolf or werewolf |
| 2989s | theme that we kind of honed in on in |
| 2992s | terms of design yeah |
| 2994s | specifically the bite and as joe said |
| 2996s | this like mouse and and faces on |
| 2998s | everything so we kept we definitely kept |
| 3001s | this up and uh |
| 3002s | this is really cool so yeah basically |
| 3004s | like |
| 3005s | if you touch any part of her you're |
| 3008s | probably gonna get bitten that's like |
| 3009s | dangerous |
| 3011s | everywhere and |
| 3012s | uh |
| 3013s | like because of her agility and like |
| 3017s | again like leap just things that |
| 3020s | like i i wanted to keep her like agile |
| 3022s | looking and and lean and fast |
| 3025s | yeah like a hunter she she she's very |
| 3028s | much like a hunter type uh character so |
| 3031s | like so cool |
| 3032s | speed and agility and |
| 3034s | stuff like that is kind of what i was |
| 3036s | pushing for and and like threat threat |
| 3038s | level i feel i feel threatened |
| 3041s | and that tail that you've thrown in |
| 3043s | there like that's like an energy tail so |
| 3045s | it's not fur we're allowed to do that |
| 3047s | we're told it's okay |
| 3048s | but energy for energy |
| 3051s | uh yeah |
| 3052s | we're in the clear and one thing we had |
| 3054s | to consider too is that uh this |
| 3055s | character is holding a gun |
| 3058s | and shooting and weaponing so it's like |
| 3060s | that kind of also had to |
| 3061s | informed our the designs yeah right so |
| 3064s | loving monsters and film and like i |
| 3066s | would buy all the fangoria magazines |
| 3068s | when that was a thing like back in the |
| 3070s | day like horror movie like effects and |
| 3073s | stuff like that i've just |
| 3075s | always been like a huge fan of monsters |
| 3078s | so i'm sure all that stuff is is in my |
| 3081s | dna uh and |
| 3083s | and you know a lot of it is |
| 3086s | kind of what uh inspired darksiders as |
| 3088s | well |
| 3090s | back in the vigil days it's like |
| 3092s | you know |
| 3093s | having monsters and demons and like like |
| 3097s | bad guys basically uh leading the story |
| 3101s | versus you know your typical |
| 3104s | happy hero yeah |
| 3106s | yeah like it's just like a theme that i |
| 3109s | i love and i try to i like gray |
| 3111s | characters and evil characters and |
| 3113s | tragic villains and so monsters are just |
| 3117s | my thing |
| 3118s | and so yeah all of it all of it really |
| 3121s | uh inspired this obviously we're not |
| 3123s | going to do a typical werewolf approach |
| 3125s | warframe never does the typical stuff so |
| 3127s | yes the spin on it has been really cool |
| 3129s | and i'm pretty excited to see where we |
| 3131s | go with this so i am very excited this |
| 3134s | is so cool uh it will not be the next |
| 3136s | warframe just to be clear it will not be |
| 3138s | the next warframe it still needs some |
| 3139s | love and uh it still needs to actually |
| 3142s | you know get made |
| 3143s | but uh still work abilities to come but |
| 3146s | those will be future i think future |
| 3148s | devstream conversations that the totally |
| 3150s | the folks can look forward to i think |
| 3152s | once the art team is able to |
| 3155s | really |
| 3156s | attack this they'll just they'll have |
| 3158s | just as much fun as you guys had |
| 3161s | and making it become a reality from like |
| 3162s | the abilities to the effects that go |
| 3164s | into it to the audio the the audio team |
| 3167s | guys they're going to be super stoked |
| 3169s | for that as well we're going to get i |
| 3171s | don't know are we going to get some |
| 3172s | howls yeah sarah do we have some howl |
| 3174s | effects |
| 3175s | [Music] |
| 3176s | perfect i don't know if she's the |
| 3178s | weakest towel i've ever heard oh |
| 3181s | there we go |
| 3183s | yeah so i think not only i think our |
| 3185s | team will have a really fun time with it |
| 3187s | as well well i'm just trying to picture |
| 3188s | like because most times when we release |
| 3191s | warframes there's like a weapon that we |
| 3193s | ship with it true |
| 3194s | an accessory so like one of those things |
| 3197s | look like that i know we tried to play |
| 3198s | around with maybe some weapon ideas in |
| 3200s | the early stages but we were just really |
| 3201s | trying to focus on getting like |
| 3203s | an initial look to get going in but like |
| 3206s | i'm just trying to think like what what |
| 3207s | else are we shipping with this and how |
| 3209s | we can add to all that so so more work |
| 3210s | for joe |
| 3212s | which is what i'm trying to get doing so |
| 3213s | it's gonna be good thanks |
| 3217s | yeah is there anything else you guys |
| 3218s | want to |
| 3219s | talk about for the the process of |
| 3221s | getting here with the werewolf frame |
| 3223s | before we uh no i just want to do this |
| 3225s | more this is awesome like working with |
| 3227s | joe was great uh |
| 3229s | and uh yeah it'd be cool to do more of |
| 3232s | these things yeah so |
| 3234s | unless i ruined it but |
| 3237s | no i you know it was super fun and and |
