75s	who they're not all here but we love our
77s	art team and they do some incredible
79s	work
80s	i also
81s	have to give a massive spoiler warning
83s	we will be going through the new war
85s	quest and spilling all of the beans on
88s	that so if you haven't played the new
89s	war quest yet you have been warned or
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

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
3240s	i'm happy that i got to be a part of
3242s	this and you know thank you guys it's uh
3246s	it's an honor i can't wait to to run
3247s	around the
3249s	first game
3250s	absolutely yeah thank you so much for
3253s	working with us on this and taking part
3255s	of this for our tennocon art panel this
3257s	year uh we thought we'd uh end our panel
3260s	with a bang
