| 114s | essentially whenever that would be |
| 116s | love that Jeff hi everyone um |

| 158s | um Eric better the concept director oh |
| 161s | big concept director big time uh I've |
| 163s | been working on Warframe for |
| 166s | I think 11 years as well 2012. sketching |
| 169s | with minky |
| 172s | all right so as you can tell we have a |
| 175s | lot of very talented artists here on the |
| 178s | stage myself not included but my name is |
| 181s | Megan Everett I'm the community director |
| 183s | on Warframe and I'm very happy to be |
| 185s | here celebrating as best I can a lot of |
| 188s | the art from not only this team here but |
| 191s | also de in general so you're going to |

| 196s | in terms of content oh my I gotta turn |
| 199s | it on guys that's why it's not working |
| 201s | the panel like I said 112 slides and the |
| 206s | goal for this panel was again to |
| 208s | celebrate 10 years of Warframe 10 years |
| 210s | of Art and you can't do that without |
| 212s | going to the past and going to the |
| 216s | Future so we're going to do a little bit |
| 218s | of maybe Dark Sector art stuff like that |
| 221s | but one of the best ways to I think |
| 224s | celebrate the fact that it's 10 years of |
| 225s | Warframe is with the official Warframe |
| 228s | art book please hold |
| 233s | ta-da |

| 249s | was 13 pounds 13 pounds 13 pounds oh my |
| 252s | gosh 30 pages smaller |

| 292s | um but Eric I know you worked very hard |
| 295s | to put this together and it's kind of in |
| 297s | your life for the past couple months so |
| 299s | tell me about kind of developing this |
| 301s | book a little more than a couple months |
| 303s | um about a year and a half I proposed |
| 305s | the idea to the greatest guy I know Jeff |
| 308s | Brooks |
| 310s | um and he's like yeah we gotta do this |
| 311s | we got to push it through so |
| 314s | it's been an insane experience a walk |
| 316s | down memory lane and couldn't be more |
| 319s | prouder of it and all the work that |
| 320s | we've done it's actually crazy how much |
| 322s | you guys have found |
| 324s | like stuff I forgot existed and speaking |
| 327s | of that yeah there's a lot of great |
| 328s | stuff yeah a lot of the art in my 112 |
| 331s | slide panel uh is featured in this art |
| 334s | book so again if you know you want to |
| 336s | tangibly get your hands on some of this |
| 339s | art it is going to be in the art book so |
| 341s | if you're interested you can do that all |
| 343s | right let's get started shall we |
| 348s | oh |
| 350s | yes |
| 352s | yes all right we're gonna do a little |
| 354s | back in time Dark Sector maybe not |
| 356s | everyone here knows what Dark Sector is |
| 358s | Jeff I carry everyone here what's Dark |
| 362s | Sector uh it's not that |
| 365s | um that's what we wanted it to be |
| 367s | and then uh we couldn't get that made so |
| 371s | um but yeah we |
| 373s | man Dark Sector is the seeds of what |
| 375s | Warframe turned into like it was |
| 378s | Steve myself and Mike Brennan minky back |
| 382s | in |
| 383s | 2003 2002 uh just World building sci-fi |
| 388s | Adventure ideas there's going to be a |
| 390s | single player game |
| 392s | um you know and we kind of did just kind |
| 395s | of Concepts building what were the early |
| 396s | grineer |
| 398s | um the early Excalibur suits |
| 400s | um and then when we couldn't make that |
| 402s | we had to Pivot to what Dark Sector was |
| 404s | I can't believe you found these drawings |
| 405s | oh my God I went deep I went into the |
| 408s | archives that's crazy found some gold |
| 409s | yeah so um yeah so this was like I think |
| 412s | even I did some of these sketches just |
| 414s | with animation posing |
| 415s | um because we were trying to figure out |
| 416s | a style so we we built the Prototype of |
| 418s | Dark Sector and Steve uh went on a |
| 422s | journey of rejection for about four |
| 425s | months yes |
| 427s | um it was this thing we passionately |
| 429s | worked on and he just kept getting the |
| 430s | door slammed in his face they didn't |
| 431s | want to make it no one wanted to make |
| 432s | sci-fi |
| 434s | um we've heard that over and over again |
| 436s | just rejecting the Sci-Fi uh uh setting |
| 439s | of The Game and that's what happened |
| 441s | when minky did the pivot and started |
| 443s | exploring what Dark Sector turned into |
| 444s | so we could get it made which turned out |
| 447s | to be a pretty cool like piece of |
| 448s | identity that we're pretty proud of as |
| 450s | well and actually the combination of |
| 453s | those two visions of Dark Sector really |
| 456s | kind of merged to turn into what |
| 457s | warframes are today that is true |
| 459s | inspiration anyone else on this stage a |
| 462s | memory of Dark Sector and it was a long |
| 464s | time ago does those cobwebs carry I mean |
| 468s | as an appreciative audience member yes |
| 469s | well that's about it fair enough fair |
| 472s | enough it was a long time ago and like |
| 474s | you said a lot of Dark Sector art |
| 477s | inspired Warframe yeah so this was minky |
| 482s | minky it was brilliant |
| 485s | um |
| 486s | you know he was planning the idea there |
| 488s | was a an early idea in Dark Sector where |
| 490s | the Warframe or the Dark Sector the |
| 492s | Excalibur suits |
| 494s | it could uh change into different forms |
| 496s | and in a way this kind of turned into |
| 498s | like the Proto design for what uh |
| 501s | Warframe warframes would turn into based |
| 504s | on these early ideas like when we |
| 505s | started kind of kicking throughout the |
| 507s | idea around to kind of get back to |
| 508s | Warframe and build it uh minky went |
| 510s | right back to these sketches to to kind |
| 512s | of start building from I was a little |
| 514s | bit surprised when I saw that |
| 516s | um there was a version of Excalibur that |
| 517s | was actually pretty much Frost all the |
| 519s | way back yeah then yeah there's a frost |
| 521s | and I think even um an old um |
| 524s | uh Ember design from from like like back |
| 529s | when this like that turned into this |
| 530s | yeah |
| 531s | we've had them cooking in the brain for |
| 533s | a while |
| 539s | weird things that he'd written all over |
| 542s | them they're not here but they're in the |
| 543s | art book so you should check it out way |
| 546s | to plug the art book Thank you guys |
| 548s | there's a lot in the art book |
| 550s | um okay so we're taking a little look at |
| 552s | the past and now we're going to move a |
| 554s | little bit forward into the first five |
| 556s | years of Warframe timeline wise that's |
| 558s | 2013 a little bit of 2012 because we |
| 561s | were obviously developing Warframe |
| 563s | before 2013 when it launched uh into |
| 565s | 2018. so we're going to focus on |
| 567s | obviously the launch of Warframe as well |
| 569s | as some big milestones in Warframe that |
| 572s | you may recognize if you were around uh |
| 575s | so like you were saying uh Excalibur art |
| 578s | turned into Excalibur or sorry Hayden |
| 581s | tenno turned into Excalibur here we even |
| 583s | have Excalibur Prime so I mean |
| 585s | obviously at that time did you even know |
| 587s | kind of the iconicness that was being |
| 591s | developed with Excalibur Prime and these |
| 593s | kinds of Concepts |
| 595s | uh I'm trying to I wish I could remember |
| 597s | minky gets full credit for the prime end |
| 600s | goal um I remember even when we went |
| 603s | back this was him kicking the can at |
| 605s | redesigning Excalibur again to be kind |
| 607s | of a a cross design of the old pure |
| 609s | sci-fi take and kind of what was the um |
| 612s | the infestation in Dark Sector and you |
| 614s | kind of wanted to kind of make a more |
| 617s | bio-organic suit |
| 619s | um and then it was the founders pack |
| 621s | that we wanted to do something special |
| 622s | for Founders and minky kind of set |
| 625s | I can't remember if I honestly can't |
| 627s | remember it was Steve or minky that kind |
| 628s | of came up with the idea of the Prime |
| 630s | versions of in the lore like the prime |
| 632s | versions of of what the warframes were |
| 634s | in that design I remember you guys had |
| 637s | this really wonderful animated short |
| 638s | with Excalibur yep and it fought a |
| 641s | jackal on I'm assuming a corpus ship uh |
| 645s | and I got shown that when I got brought |
| 646s | on first |
| 647s | um I'm not showing that yeah oh I'm |
| 649s | sorry uh that was our that was like our |
| 654s | early sci-fi pitch yeah and um that was |
| 657s | in 2004 when we made that and what that |
| 660s | turned that set did turn into the Corpus |
| 663s | the base for the Corpus set that we used |
| 664s | back then yeah so we really went deep |
| 666s | into the mine when we kind of dove into |
| 668s | making Warframe |
| 671s | and speaking of Keith |
| 672s | gearing Keith Tom away with |
| 677s | stuff it was great really fun love it I |
| 679s | believe this is your first maybe concept |
| 683s | for Warframe I think this might be the |
| 684s | first design I started I think |
| 686s | everything was still up in the air I had |
| 688s | some I think I had the short not of not |
| 690s | a lot else so it was really kind of uh |
| 693s | Blue Sky |
| 695s | um and this is Loki basically |
| 697s | um and it was an initial idea where the |
| 701s | warframes could possibly have sort of a |
| 702s | berserk mode |
| 705s | um sort of a werewolf mode so here you |
| 706s | got kind of the base low key with this |
| 709s | sort of Marshall statue I forgot we were |
| 711s | we're thinking about doing that yeah |
| 713s | that's right um yeah |
| 714s | and then it kind of you know the muscles |
| 717s | kind of stretch out |
| 719s | um and you get this underlying structure |
| 721s | that shows |
| 722s | um and of course Loki basically ended up |
| 724s | being emerging of the two the helmet |
| 727s | from the berserk mode and then the kind |
| 729s | of the main body did you design the |
| 730s | glaive on your own were you asked to do |
| 732s | a glaive or did you just do it well the |
| 733s | Glade pre-existed right that's it I'm |
| 735s | wondering if yeah yeah okay I think |
| 738s | yeah I'm not sure actually but it's cool |
| 740s | maybe someone brought up Kroll |
| 742s | and then as well there was a very very |
| 745s | early Rhino and I think this one was |
| 747s | even titled like Legionnaire or |
| 749s | something yeah yeah and he's got a |
| 750s | really weird weapon that I don't think |
| 751s | we've ever brought back kind of a |
| 754s | good on it guys |
| 758s | yeah |
| 760s | at this weapon I'm a fan |
| 763s | yeah so you're you're concepting these |
| 765s | warframes do you remember kind of like |
| 767s | the direction you were given back then |
| 769s | in terms of what to kind of create for |
| 771s | your Concepts I think it was very much |
| 773s | just getting a flavor of the |
| 774s | pre-existing art and and the kind of |
| 777s | assumption was that you know I was a |
| 779s | compliment for that and I kind of just |
| 781s | went to town with it you know strong |
| 783s | formidable elegant |
| 785s | um elegant oh Rhino has never been |
| 787s | called elegant before it's an essential |
| 789s | part now Rhino does have a bit of a |
| 790s | hunch here |
| 792s | yes but uh so we got a little bit more |
| 794s | handsome |
| 797s | but you still got the kind of you know |
| 798s | the nice the nice feet and everything |
| 800s | like that the shoes and I mean really |
| 801s | that's exactly what Rhino looks like so |
| 803s | one to one |
| 805s | uh and then also a couple this might |
| 807s | have been what you're referring to Jeff |
| 809s | with like the really early Warframe |
| 811s | concept well I think this was when again |
| 814s | we're like well how many should we ship |
| 815s | with and I think I think Scott just said |
| 819s | uh |
| 820s | six or eight so minky like it's just |
| 823s | maddening like I think like you can see |
| 825s | he's riffing on um Keith's designs here |
| 827s | to commit to them and then he just |
| 828s | Trinity Trinity was actually an old |
| 831s | sci-fi enemy is in the old sci-fi |
| 833s | setting so he reused that design and |
| 835s | then uh yeah we just kind of and then |
| 837s | like I said he went back to the well for |
| 838s | Ember and |
| 840s | um yeah this was just like I think in a |
| 842s | couple days he put together this for our |
| 844s | starting lineup and then yeah and I |
| 846s | think he had some loose loose design uh |
| 849s | ideas from Scott to kind of build around |
| 851s | oh Scott |
| 855s | be remiss |
| 861s | proud hello is someone home |
| 864s | um thank you Founders thank you Founders |
| 865s | truly without you this would all not be |
| 868s | possible uh because you kept the studio |
| 870s | surviving and thriving so thank you for |
| 873s | that so 2012 and 2013 open Beta huge |
| 877s | time for Warframe more people are |
| 879s | brought onto the team we're making |
| 881s | really cool art uh trying to explain |
| 883s | factions so we're developing some more |
| 886s | ideas we've got grineer Corpus infested |
| 888s | as well trying to tell their story and |
| 891s | then we're fast forward a little bit to |
| 893s | Second dream |
| 895s | which was huge it was huge yeah I think |
| 898s | this is |
| 900s | this is the moment like oh my God |
| 903s | this is Eric this is why Eric this one |
| 905s | we're like okay Eric needs to be concept |
| 907s | director |
| 911s | yeah that's awesome but it was |
| 914s | frightening like for us to do uh story |
| 916s | quests in this like uh kind of like |
| 919s | looter shooter that we were that we put |
| 921s | out and we were really nervous that |
| 922s | people would kind of uh be receptive to |
| 924s | it |
| 926s | um and uh I think that's kind of like |
| 928s | when there was a really big pivot in the |
| 929s | direction of Warframe uh when we kind of |
| 931s | launched that and then art wise I mean |
| 934s | was there a mocap involved in the second |
| 936s | dream did we start that or was that kind |
| 939s | of afterwards |
| 940s | oh gotta go back into the memory what |
| 942s | year was that 2015. there was mocha yeah |
| 945s | it was Tim carrying the operator wasn't |
| 948s | it |
| 949s | oh sorry spoiler |
| 950s | Tim's weather did someone Tim definitely |
| 952s | was carried Tim was carried along as our |
| 955s | operator who did it though but Tim was |
| 957s | carried |
| 958s | um yeah it was it was an old old mocap |
| 961s | system but it was a lot of like credit |
| 962s | to the animators was a lot of key |
| 964s | framework yeah as well so yeah really |
| 966s | really step the art game up for that one |
| 967s | uh Eric do you want to explain what's |
| 969s | Happening Here by the way explain |
| 970s | yourself Eric I don't know |
| 973s | okay but storyboards like do we do |
| 976s | storyboards video games not smiling |
| 979s | Lotus |
| 982s | yeah |
| 984s | yeah she's cute it's like a manta ray |
| 990s | so Eric storyboard what's up inspiration |
| 992s | for the desert skates |
| 996s | this made it into the art book right |
| 997s | what's that this made into the art book |
| 999s | no no no oh |
| 1003s | yeah we can insert it yeah your |
| 1007s | autograph can be the manta ray Lotus |
| 1009s | smiley face we'll just plug that in |
| 1011s | there |
| 1012s | um but speaking of storyboards Eric yes |
| 1015s | um |
| 1016s | part of the development process of the |
| 1018s | second dream obviously helpful like how |
| 1021s | much did this actually one-to-one turn |
| 1023s | into what was the second dream |
| 1025s | I think pretty close I think I worked |
| 1027s | with Jeff on this |
| 1029s | um and like he was saying it's kind of |
| 1030s | our first story moment |
| 1032s | um and it also tied into the other stuff |
| 1035s | like the operator room the chair and the |
| 1037s | reveal oh oh I got that you got my Jiffy |
| 1040s | I got my gift gross |
| 1043s | got your gift yes I do so I presented |
| 1047s | this to Steve uh many many years ago and |
| 1050s | he liked this idea and |
| 1053s | um this was the nursery idea yeah yeah |
| 1055s | and uh I think for the most part it kind |
| 1058s | of stuck to we animated this very |
| 1060s | closely yes yeah and then the actual pod |
| 1062s | design uh the modelers and those guys |
| 1066s | did a great job the one-to-one |
| 1068s | the design of it's amazing and then when |
| 1071s | you see it all put together with the the |
| 1073s | great storyboards I did it just turned |
| 1077s | out really well it was a really special |
| 1078s | moment for myself so yeah um |
| 1080s | and the music |
| 1082s | everything almost makes me cry every |
| 1084s | time I see it oh don't cry I won't in a |
| 1087s | good way right good way good way good |
| 1089s | cry yeah |
| 1091s | remembers their second dream experience |
| 1093s | do you remember it oh look at all those |
| 1096s | hands |
| 1097s | it was a moment it was a moment uh I |
| 1100s | wasn't even working here yet like I |
| 1101s | enjoyed that it's a fan yeah yeah and I |
| 1105s | also got the bug where you hold the |
| 1106s | operator as a gun that was heartbreaking |
| 1109s | that was a heartbreaking yeah we worked |
| 1112s | so hard |
| 1113s | so hard and then shooting the Warframe |
| 1116s | with the operator like a gun yeah there |
| 1118s | was a lot of also face morphing issues |
| 1120s | with the operator you know beautiful |
| 1122s | child to behold they were beautiful |
| 1124s | absolutely beautiful |
| 1126s | um and then obviously second dream is |
| 1128s | I'm telling a lot about the stalker and |
| 1129s | giving him a little bit more of some |
| 1131s | lore and some story |
| 1133s | um I snuck this slide in here because I |
| 1136s | wanted to let you know that the |
| 1138s | stalker's story is not over |
| 1141s | um we do have some plans for a little |
| 1143s | bit of more stalker lore |
| 1145s | um perhaps next year so Keith we might |
| 1148s | have to talk to you about that oh I |
| 1150s | didn't I didn't touch Docker initially |
| 1152s | I'm not sure who did who did stalker it |
| 1153s | was Mickey yeah cool cool of course of |
| 1156s | course uh anyways lots of uh if you're |
| 1159s | interested in stalker more to come on |
| 1161s | his story we're gonna fast forward a |
| 1163s | little bit to 2017 which actually |
| 1165s | happened in this very room with the |
| 1166s | planes of eidolon reveal at 10 alive |
| 1168s | pyra was here fashion frame is here big |
| 1172s | moment over there I remember it sorry |
| 1175s | um Keith |
| 1177s | lovely Concepts |
| 1179s | it's sort of this is sort of grounded |
| 1181s | for me yeah yeah so this is uh we got |
| 1184s | basically the Euro constructures |
| 1187s | and we got the ostron that scavenged |
| 1190s | them |
| 1191s | um and I decided you know these |
| 1193s | structures are still looking pretty good |
| 1194s | pretty pristine they're ancient |
| 1197s | um they're alive |
| 1198s | and uh and that's the valuable stuff in |
| 1201s | them so the Ostrom uh basically make |
| 1204s | their living like Whalers |
| 1207s | um picking apart these ancient ancient |
| 1209s | structures which is sort of in keeping |
| 1211s | with with real history in the sense of a |
| 1214s | lot of the stone gets reappropriated by |
| 1216s | following civilizations |
| 1218s | um and in this case it's it's got a |
| 1220s | certain different vibe and I think for |
| 1222s | that one this would be what I would call |
| 1224s | like an unclenched uh concept this is a |
| 1227s | moment where it's like okay this is |
| 1228s | gonna be okay |
| 1229s | we see a beautiful in a meat building |
| 1232s | sort of way yeah exactly it's one of |
| 1234s | those it's one of those moments where |
| 1236s | like I'll I'll um I'll Define what |
| 1238s | unclenched means for the for the |
| 1240s | audience like when we're I remember we |
| 1243s | were just kind of trying to get over the |
| 1244s | hump of figuring out the kind of like |
| 1245s | what are we gonna center around the idea |
| 1247s | of the astronz and and it was like |
| 1250s | working with Keith and he just kind of |
| 1251s | threw this giant boulder into the into |
| 1253s | the into the into the lake and we just |
| 1256s | it was just too unique not to not to |
| 1258s | commit to it so in the animation on the |
| 1260s | blubber just impeccable just it's always |
| 1263s | a thrill seeing what they do with these |
| 1264s | things yeah who had to do the research |
| 1266s | on that |
| 1267s | I don't see any |
| 1269s | search history for the meatball |
| 1271s | um Eric we have a lovely concept by you |
| 1274s | um |
| 1275s | yeah here we go Eric redeem yourself |
| 1277s | from that storyboard back to the |
| 1280s | storyboards please |
| 1282s | um yeah this was very cool to do I yeah |
| 1285s | I know I had this idea of throwing |
| 1287s | balloons in it and like things floating |
| 1289s | around and I know I remember Steve just |
| 1291s | lost his mind for that he was like we |
| 1293s | gotta do that so |
| 1295s | that's it it was a good way to convey |
| 1296s | scale really well it was a good way to |
| 1299s | convey yeah yeah like me and Kaz yeah |
| 1304s | you got that much bigger than me no of |
| 1307s | course not uh so obviously from concept |
| 1309s | to reality this is obviously what we |
| 1311s | know the planes looks like currently |
| 1313s | it's beautiful |
| 1315s | um we have many inhabitors of the planes |
| 1317s | such as the norg many fishies to be had |
| 1322s | uh and then as well like you were saying |
| 1324s | the auster on scavengers concepting what |
| 1326s | they're going to look like so this is a |
| 1329s | great piece by Raymond to kind of think |
| 1331s | about what maybe they're going to be and |
| 1333s | then weapons this was our first foray |
| 1335s | into modular weapons Kaz Lucas was very |
| 1340s | excited about doing modular stuff |
| 1341s | there's a lot of things in the game that |
| 1343s | are modular that are all due to Lucas |
| 1345s | and he just had so much fun like taking |
| 1347s | stuff from like loose drawings like this |
| 1349s | is pretty early on in the process when |
| 1352s | we get to see these things and then we |
| 1354s | have to make up something too just |
| 1356s | looking off of Keith's early pieces for |
| 1359s | some of the planning for cetus and Lucas |
| 1362s | was able to just create all these |
| 1364s | different new shapes based on just those |
| 1366s | little bits and pieces and he's always |
| 1367s | bringing in a bunch of research from |
| 1370s | like different world cultures and stuff |
| 1372s | so there's some cool shapes in there |
| 1374s | that are kind of based in history so |
| 1376s | it's just really cool yeah it was a |
| 1379s | really cool time to see not only this |
| 1381s | but then obviously when you put them |
| 1382s | together they |
| 1383s | you know put the tape around it and |
| 1385s | you're making a new weapon so the |
| 1387s | weapons team incredible job there on |
| 1389s | that one |
| 1390s | and then we move into Fortuna again |
| 1392s | another 10 o'clock experience |
| 1395s | we love reveals uh we have lovely |
| 1399s | concept art about orvalis and I remember |
| 1403s | the concept are for orvallis was very |
| 1405s | like Keith I know you did a lot of |
| 1407s | orbitalis concept art and obviously |
| 1410s | taken inspiration from it do you |
| 1412s | remember kind of that time yes uh there |
| 1415s | was a lot of really ridiculous out there |
| 1417s | ideas too I had the whole they went |
| 1419s | through these kind of terraforming |
| 1420s | seasons and I was kind of throwing that |
| 1422s | it's like that's a whole game we'd have |
| 1423s | to make a whole extra different game |
| 1425s | differently um but but you had these |
| 1426s | Impressions that that still worked and |
| 1428s | ended up following through so uh |
| 1431s | um yeah it's amazing to see it kind of |
| 1433s | flesh out and come alive |
| 1436s | and obviously we went inside for Solaris |
| 1439s | and doing their kind of story and |
| 1442s | thinking about you know how are we going |
| 1444s | to do this inside space with these |
| 1446s | workers trying to work really hard |
| 1449s | um and then Keith like I said your |
| 1451s | lovely Concepts absolutely love what you |
| 1454s | did with it by keeping it under wraps |
| 1456s | for so long it's such a great way to |
| 1459s | experience a whole people and and kind |
| 1462s | of get that sense that now they trust |
| 1464s | you |
| 1465s | um to show you who they really are and |
| 1466s | like and then they have this dignity |
| 1468s | they're not just this they're not |
| 1470s | they're victimized but they're not just |
| 1472s | victims |
| 1473s | um and there's this integrity and pride |
| 1476s | to them that they have in themselves and |
| 1477s | what they do |
| 1479s | um and I think it was really nice to see |
| 1481s | that kind of civilization come out in a |
| 1484s | game World |
| 1485s | um and I think gives them this this |
| 1486s | really interesting richness and depth |
| 1489s | um it doesn't feel like they're just |
| 1490s | there for the player right feels like |
| 1492s | they're kind of living on their own |
| 1493s | together and then slowly you gain their |
| 1496s | trust and they welcome you in |
| 1498s | yeah you're helping them they're helping |
| 1500s | you it's a beautiful story |
| 1502s | not a beautiful story is getting |
| 1504s | attacked by spiders but every open world |
| 1506s | needs to have enemies |
| 1508s | um and we didn't pick it up at the one |
| 1510s | in the lake really we haven't yeah |
| 1512s | exactly yeah yeah so we got weird |
| 1515s | spiders sorry if you have a fear of |
| 1516s | spiders I remember we had to have a |
| 1518s | Content warning of like there's spiders |
| 1520s | in this game I'm so sorry |
| 1522s | with the Solaris people I remember |
| 1526s | um I had seen the pictures early on and |
| 1529s | um I had been at an event with Jeff |
| 1532s | and he was like are they okay are they |
| 1534s | too weird do you think they're too weird |
| 1536s | he was so nervous about it being too |
| 1538s | weird I was like it's Warframe it fits |
| 1542s | yeah it's the amazing thing about |
| 1544s | working with Keith as well as like you |
| 1546s | kind of give him a nugget like a sedum |
| 1547s | idea we gave him kind of the culture |
| 1549s | idea we were aiming for and |
| 1551s | and then he comes back and there's heads |
| 1553s | and cavities and we're just like okay |
| 1555s | yeah that's like but like you were |
| 1557s | saying it worked so well systemically in |
| 1559s | the game as part of the standing system |
| 1561s | and it being a something you have to |
| 1563s | earn I thought it was incredible yeah it |
| 1565s | all worked out obviously you have |
| 1567s | conservation doing some little little |
| 1569s | traps here shout out to Rosa if you're |
| 1571s | here our conservation Queen pyro and |
| 1574s | then again more modular weapons for the |
| 1577s | weapons team cause was there was there |
| 1580s | like we were able to use obviously a lot |
| 1582s | of maybe what you we learned was zaws |
| 1583s | using kick guns or was it like different |
| 1585s | worlds |
| 1586s | oh it was very similar yeah on the like |
| 1589s | making side of things you just |
| 1591s | create kind of like sockets kind of |
| 1593s | thing and you can just plug different |
| 1595s | things into those parts so these were |
| 1597s | all Lucas again |
| 1599s | um just again taking just from those few |
| 1602s | Concepts that we had at the very |
| 1603s | beginning and being able to extrapolate |
| 1605s | into all sorts of different directions |
| 1607s | with it |
| 1609s | incredible |
| 1610s | obviously there was a lot that happened |
| 1611s | in between that I'm not glancing it over |
| 1613s | I only have 112 slides but we are going |
| 1616s | to go into the next five years of |
| 1618s | Warframe for a timeline 2018 till |
| 1621s | basically now heart of demos again |
| 1624s | another 10 o'clock reveal there's a |
| 1626s | theme happening here that I didn't |
| 1628s | really mean to do but we went weird and |
| 1631s | gross obviously with heart of demos |
| 1632s | being the Entrada family the more |
| 1634s | infested type of Vibes |
| 1637s | um |
| 1637s | what do we remember about I remember I |
| 1640s | remember heart of demos and Demos in |
| 1641s | general being really fast development |
| 1643s | wise we were just like we have this idea |
| 1645s | let's do it tanocon let's make it happen |
| 1647s | does anyone have any kind of like what |
| 1649s | were you feeling during that process |
| 1651s | well and he's throwing lockdown yeah |
| 1653s | into that that was we we got thrown into |
| 1656s | lockdown and we had to kind of do this |
| 1658s | um what setting up like a remote yeah we |
| 1661s | were setting up for mode and the other |
| 1662s | thing is it really wasn't the main thing |
| 1663s | we were intending to do that no it was |
| 1665s | going to be the new war and and oh yeah |
| 1668s | this was more achievable yeah |
| 1672s | the giant fleshscape was more achievable |
| 1675s | Escape oh God you know how many times I |
| 1678s | saw that word trying to find Art yeah it |
| 1680s | didn't work out exactly that way but |
| 1682s | yeah yeah internally it's called |
| 1683s | fleshscape so if you want to start |
| 1685s | calling it that that's I guess fine uh |
| 1689s | but again obviously Concepts fishing |
| 1691s | Spears we give them a whole new look |
| 1693s | with our nasty nasty little fish that |
| 1695s | went along with Deimos uh there's many |
| 1699s | different versions of this red cast yeah |
| 1701s | uh Lucas just goes through when he does |
| 1704s | his exploration so just they just have |
| 1705s | so much character and Life to them it's |
| 1707s | just so cool to see these early |
| 1709s | explorations of these things |
| 1711s | yeah it might be hard to see in the |
| 1712s | audience |
| 1713s | um but yeah there's a whole bunch of you |
| 1715s | know little notes on sticky net and gut |
| 1718s | hanging reference to other Spears sticky |
| 1721s | tongue you know weird stuff that makes |
| 1724s | demos Deimos and then concepted his name |
| 1727s | wasn't originally Lloyd but he had a |
| 1730s | different name I'm not sure what his |
| 1731s | original name was now it was it was so |
| 1733s | long you know I was just like yeah it |
| 1734s | was probably too much yeah |
| 1737s | you pitched originally yes it was yeah |
| 1740s | whatever I sort of explore new new world |
| 1743s | parts of the world yeah I'll kind of |
| 1745s | touch on a bunch of different things |
| 1746s | like operator outfits themed and you |
| 1748s | know weapons and yeah and and things |
| 1751s | like that and yeah yeah this guy was |
| 1752s | going to be a sentinel and kind of went |
| 1753s | to town with him this was interesting |
| 1755s | too because with this whole uh |
| 1758s | um kind of group |
| 1759s | I started to explore the motif of a |
| 1761s | skull and you got to be so careful with |
| 1763s | that because yes skulls are fun but |
| 1764s | they're everywhere and they always have |
| 1766s | a feel |
| 1767s | um so I really went tried to get with |
| 1768s | this with these sort of um really almost |
| 1770s | prehistoric ancient burials so we're not |
| 1773s | going Gothic we're not going kind of |
| 1775s | catacombs we're not going with that with |
| 1777s | that kind of feel sort of try and push |
| 1779s | it back even older whether a little bit |
| 1780s | more suppressed a little bit more hidden |
| 1783s | and this turned into like the seed of |
| 1785s | like the entrati kind of aesthetic as |
| 1787s | well we kind of built around this |
| 1789s | um and kind of put a lot of what you |
| 1791s | were exploring into that into kind of |
| 1792s | like the yeah the feel of the of the |
| 1794s | kind of round bits I think people called |
| 1795s | them corn Max |
| 1798s | it's sort of the idea The Motif is sort |
| 1800s | of like the um like gold coins that |
| 1802s | you'd get in these ancient burials |
| 1805s | um around Chieftains and things like |
| 1806s | that so they'd sort of be surrounded by |
| 1808s | their their riches |
| 1809s | um in this really early way yeah very |
| 1812s | cool that's great and then we've got |
| 1814s | into art guns which was a well necromax |
| 1816s | in general we're introducing this and |
| 1818s | then art guns |
| 1820s | um because in terms of weapons did Art |
| 1823s | guns kind of development differ from |
| 1824s | normal weapons or was it just make big |
| 1827s | gun make big guns yes make big gun make |
| 1831s | work make fire it's beautiful uh we had |
| 1835s | many other weapons as well with a father |
| 1836s | we had uh his version of those weapons |
| 1839s | you remember kind of the development |
| 1840s | process of that Kaz of making these in |
| 1842s | trotty very gold fancy weapons yeah so |
| 1845s | these came from more of Keith's drawings |
| 1848s | and he's got this huge book of a |
| 1851s | description of what they do underneath |
| 1853s | it with this like soul-sucking things in |
| 1856s | there the idea where they would have |
| 1858s | sort of reverse magazines so they'd |
| 1860s | start empty and then they suck a shot |
| 1863s | out of the target |
| 1864s | and and see and then you do kind of this |
| 1866s | life dope |
| 1868s | um you say life dump a life dunk |
| 1871s | you inject their life out of your gun |
| 1873s | like |
| 1875s | um |
| 1876s | we went weird |
| 1878s | I'm weird with this |
| 1882s | fast forward a little bit obviously |
| 1885s | um obviously one of our longest your |
| 1888s | locked in kind of a quest moment but a |
| 1891s | lot of work went into the new war years |
| 1894s | before it came out obviously As We Know |
| 1897s | it was a long road and people were very |
| 1900s | patient thank you very much thank you |
| 1902s | I remember the wallet posting use on |
| 1905s | your office that was entertaining for |
| 1906s | you the wall of Post-it notes yeah |
| 1908s | there's a lot of Puffs and notes on my |
| 1910s | wall yeah the Whiteboard came back |
| 1914s | um so yeah early Concepts hello |
| 1917s | uh Unum Tower which pyra I know you're a |
| 1921s | big fan of Unum Tower |
| 1923s | I'm not saying anything about it but uh |
| 1926s | you know just concepting what that's |
| 1927s | going to look like trying to figure out |
| 1929s | the story uh really love this Narmer |
| 1932s | Outpost trying to figure out what that |
| 1935s | type of grineer on steroids was going to |
| 1938s | be visually to make it kind of spooky |
| 1941s | yeah |
| 1942s | yeah I had to build a new kid right like |
| 1944s | we wanted to kind of make a new accent |
| 1946s | but it was going over top of older stuff |
| 1947s | so yeah we wanted really familiar and |
| 1950s | kind of a needle stretch when you return |
| 1952s | that this is not the same place it was |
| 1954s | so yeah yeah big swings as we like to |
| 1957s | say and then keys I don't know what you |
| 1959s | were eating that day but you came |
| 1963s | on Concepts |
| 1965s | yeah the idea was again they're almost |
| 1966s | playing off of a lot of the modular work |
| 1968s | we were doing there was an idea when you |
| 1970s | have these little sort of vonvalists |
| 1977s | uh and then they kind of you know loose |
| 1980s | them like little satellites |
| 1982s | um and then the actual frame that they'd |
| 1984s | be using as a host |
| 1986s | there was an idea that possibly they |
| 1988s | could be um swapped out modular so every |
| 1991s | time you come across an archon on a |
| 1992s | following Mission you're not quite sure |
| 1994s | what frame is plugged in yeah because |
| 1997s | the archons are these sort of parasitic |
| 1999s | yeah yeah that's disgusting uh and then |
| 2005s | obviously we you know taking the |
| 2007s | concepts from Keith on these archons |
| 2009s | making them their dedicated weapons we |
| 2012s | obviously have I'll go through each but |
| 2015s | Kaz do you remember kind of developing |
| 2017s | these to match and fit these very |
| 2019s | disgusting but beautiful archons oh yes |
| 2021s | those Concepts from Keith are some of my |
| 2024s | favorites from him |
| 2025s | they're all like kind of animal based |
| 2028s | like each one of them of them starts |
| 2030s | with an animal so we wanted to try and |
| 2031s | work that into all of the weapons as |
| 2033s | well |
| 2035s | yeah they definitely they definitely fit |
| 2036s | with who they are we got a mar which is |
| 2039s | one of the scary ones I charge after you |
| 2041s | and then concepting the choice screen |
| 2043s | Eric these are interesting I just stole |
| 2046s | kids starting |
| 2048s | plagiarism thanks Keith thanks Keith |
| 2051s | yeah we I remember when I was going |
| 2053s | through this archive there was a lot of |
| 2055s | different versions of it you had a |
| 2057s | version where it was like almost |
| 2058s | floating on the sky and like it varied |
| 2061s | you know space and then they came into |
| 2063s | this and then it became what it is |
| 2065s | um what was the what was the kind of |
| 2067s | thought process there of like how you |
| 2068s | wanted that to look in the end |
| 2071s | corrected to where it is now but back |
| 2074s | then it was uh they wanted kind of a |
| 2076s | select screen and so like it's coming up |
| 2078s | with all these different ideas stealing |
| 2080s | Keith's art |
| 2081s | but just putting it in you know for uh |
| 2084s | for ideas only and stuff and I just got |
| 2086s | whittled down to this really boring |
| 2089s | selection screen now so no no I'm just |
| 2092s | joking |
| 2096s | War there was a |
| 2099s | what we call Man In The Wall uh little |
| 2101s | teases here and there I won't spoil too |
| 2104s | much I guess maybe maybe not |
| 2107s | um but any anybody want to say anything |
| 2109s | about trying to incorporate a man in the |
| 2112s | wall into the new war |
| 2116s | we just |
| 2118s | knew where we were going so we we just |
| 2120s | wanted to um |
| 2122s | yeah plant seeds like little foreshadows |
| 2124s | of what we're going to be revealed and |
| 2126s | I'm trying to remember like are we |
| 2128s | getting to the man on the wall concept |
| 2129s | is that I I totally looked at the the |
| 2131s | flow before but because it like Keith |
| 2134s | Keith did a crazy one yeah Keith of |
| 2136s | course design yes uh Wally |
| 2138s | um and I'm trying to think when when |
| 2140s | what year was that though like the it |
| 2142s | was ages ago that might have been four |
| 2144s | years ago yeah five years ago four years |
| 2145s | ago so we knew we were getting there |
| 2147s | like for about that long ago and we just |
| 2150s | wanted to start planting the seeds and |
| 2151s | the key the key thing about the man on |
| 2153s | the wall I find is that |
| 2154s | he's still a mystery don't worry it's |
| 2157s | not a reveal it's there's no we're not |
| 2158s | seeing an answer to him there's there's |
| 2161s | a layering that that's underway with him |
| 2163s | so uh try to be sneaky about it you know |
| 2165s | yeah we try |
| 2167s | and then we went angels as a serum in |
| 2169s | and went real crazy finally got to go to |
| 2171s | the zeromon which I think was huge like |
| 2174s | the zairman has been a concept |
| 2175s | throughout Warframe for |
| 2177s | a very long time 2004 2004. literally |
| 2180s | thank you |
| 2181s | um so to finally be able to go there was |
| 2183s | obviously I think huge for the team |
| 2186s | um and Carrie do you remember kind of |
| 2188s | what Vibes you were trying to go for |
| 2190s | when making the Interiors of the ship oh |
| 2192s | abandoned overgrown and uh the presence |
| 2194s | of the void and that gets it into one |
| 2196s | spot and it also kind of shows the uh |
| 2200s | Oregon kind of waslet dominant cast |
| 2202s | above perhaps the people who would have |
| 2204s | been the mere Generation ship uh |
| 2206s | colonists |
| 2207s | and then of course the angels and I know |
| 2211s | based off conversations with you there's |
| 2213s | many iterations of what these Angels |
| 2215s | were going to look like |
| 2217s | um what kind of would be another |
| 2218s | unclenched another one clutch yeah this |
| 2221s | one right here so yeah do you remember |
| 2222s | kind of like how how many iterations and |
| 2224s | like what was what why did we Whittle |
| 2227s | down to to this one our concept art lead |
| 2230s | often has like a number at the end of |
| 2232s | his Concepts I I dare not say like yeah |
| 2235s | it would be high in the double digits |
| 2237s | for us to have uh got to where we were |
| 2239s | going without one yeah yeah |
| 2241s | and but landed on something very |
| 2243s | beautiful very haunting uh sound wise as |
| 2246s | well incredible and then we have some |
| 2248s | characters that we introduced uh into |
| 2252s | the zerman I wasn't really expecting us |
| 2254s | to be able to actually put like the |
| 2256s | little black glasses on that when we |
| 2258s | were first doing it but that worked out |
| 2259s | really well like I like that touch I |
| 2261s | like it |
| 2262s | have our our crew our lovely crew and |
| 2264s | and the early concepts of what they look |
| 2266s | like from the kamiki brothers it was |
| 2268s | really cool to see and again almost one |
| 2269s | to one with how they came out in the |
| 2271s | game which was interesting and then we |
| 2273s | went into incarnence right Kaz oh yes oh |
| 2277s | tell me all about it what do we have |
| 2279s | here with us today uh interesting of you |
| 2282s | to ask me about this |
| 2287s | there you go put the safety on |
| 2289s | yeah this is my favorite gun sure |
| 2295s | oh there you go she does not want you to |
| 2297s | hold the prop here don't don't touch my |
| 2300s | gun |
| 2302s | yeah so um this was a team effort we had |
| 2306s | with it five total incarnations that we |
| 2309s | came up with and of course they've got |
| 2311s | the void form so that's technically it's |
| 2313s | 10 so you know |
| 2315s | um I designed three of them and Nikita |
| 2317s | designed and created the other two he |
| 2321s | did the the dagger and the pistol and I |
| 2324s | I designed the others and I'm so proud |
| 2326s | of my team for pulling off such amazing |
| 2328s | weapons with these Concepts |
| 2331s | this is the only one that I I claimed |
| 2333s | this one for myself I'm like I'm gonna |
| 2335s | be selfish about one |
| 2337s | this guy the full Arc it's beautiful |
| 2340s | this might be beautiful |
| 2341s | and I remember early conversations we |
| 2344s | were talking about these weapons |
| 2346s | um they take attributes of the wood from |
| 2348s | the trees that are in the ziermann tile |
| 2350s | set do you remember any kind of for |
| 2352s | direction for that was there a different |
| 2354s | way you wanted to go or was like yes |
| 2356s | trees love to incorporate that well in |
| 2359s | the beginning we were thinking uh well |
| 2361s | what are these weapons going to look |
| 2362s | like they'd we don't really have a |
| 2363s | defined art direction for the weapons on |
| 2366s | this well maybe they're just security |
| 2367s | weapons or something it's a big ship |
| 2370s | with sci-fi people on it maybe security |
| 2373s | stuff and then Reb came in with a with |
| 2375s | an idea that they were ceremonial |
| 2377s | weapons that they're taking to the the |
| 2379s | new star system and that they come from |
| 2382s | specific trees on Earth and they're like |
| 2385s | just these beautiful pieces of art but |
| 2387s | also weapons |
| 2388s | because why not |
| 2389s | because why not yeah why not yeah a |
| 2392s | crazy school of weapons that we continue |
| 2394s | to add to uh to this day even so your |
| 2397s | team is incredible they keep pumping |
| 2399s | those out so go our team |
| 2401s | and then we got even weirder with the DU |
| 2404s | very Paradox this year took a real left |
| 2407s | turn went uh went to journalism and uh a |
| 2412s | little Dominus uh this was I believe a |
| 2414s | concept for like a Dominus Arena kind of |
| 2417s | vibe |
| 2418s | um but |
| 2419s | where was your head at when you were |
| 2421s | thinking of dude I think originally |
| 2424s | these were going to be in the gases of |
| 2426s | Jupiter so it was very kind of dreamlike |
| 2429s | suspended in in you know I think the |
| 2431s | Horizon was going to curve vertically |
| 2433s | like a crescent moon so you're really |
| 2436s | going to feel removed from the outside |
| 2438s | world and kind of stuck in this massive |
| 2440s | sea of gas with this kind of broiling |
| 2442s | gas and then he's got his own private |
| 2445s | imaginative Kingdom that he's building |
| 2448s | um and he's doing it in this kind of |
| 2450s | model of a type of a broken Antiquity so |
| 2453s | he's got this kind of um you know this |
| 2455s | this Caesar quality to him |
| 2458s | um you know he dreams himself a tyrant |
| 2460s | yeah a child dreaming he's a tyrant |
| 2462s | don't we all yeah we all go through that |
| 2465s | stage |
| 2466s | um and uh and so he runs if you end up |
| 2470s | in his world then you're just another |
| 2471s | play thing except you're real yeah and |
| 2475s | very Echoes to this day what do very |
| 2477s | Paradox is essentially his play world so |
| 2480s | incredible concept and then obviously |
| 2483s | thinking of what dubiri was actually |
| 2485s | going to look like was a huge Endeavor |
| 2487s | not only visually but it's just a |
| 2491s | massive massive world is it our biggest |
| 2494s | open world uh not in square footage I |
| 2497s | don't think but hopefully intensity of |
| 2499s | experience the experience is big but I |
| 2502s | mean it's our first kind of really |
| 2504s | exploring floating islands and having |
| 2506s | that kind of different levels within the |
| 2508s | the environment |
| 2510s | and we went real spooky weird with it |
| 2514s | when we were thinking about it I love |
| 2516s | this one because it it reflects that |
| 2519s | really creepy place that's into very |
| 2520s | with the the waterfall face |
| 2523s | um Carrie do you kind of remember going |
| 2525s | through all these Concepts and and |
| 2527s | critiquing and trying to figure out |
| 2528s | where we wanted to go in terms of when |
| 2530s | you saw this stuff yeah I mean like that |
| 2532s | that one there would be something where |
| 2534s | uh we were playing with a lot of large |
| 2536s | chunks of body parts bluntly in the |
| 2538s | landscape for a while and this was one |
| 2540s | of the things that kind of came out from |
| 2542s | it so |
| 2544s | um you know it is an iterative process |
| 2546s | so you'll have like somebody rough |
| 2547s | something in as a sketch in a crazy |
| 2550s | crazy idea and then somebody else will |
| 2553s | refine and then it'll go in game and |
| 2554s | then it'll kind of do a loop as we go |
| 2556s | and this would be something where you |
| 2559s | know visually that's gorgeous and it |
| 2560s | does exist now so you can kind of see |
| 2561s | how close but I think the very is a |
| 2563s | really good good example of showing how |
| 2565s | concept art starts in one place and |
| 2568s | evolves into something else like the the |
| 2570s | the concepts we're seeing now with the |
| 2572s | ship previously |
| 2573s | you know originally devere was intended |
| 2577s | to be the serum and got lost and had a |
| 2580s | broken technology where it could |
| 2581s | terraform itself in an emergency if it |
| 2583s | needed to so it kind of with math would |
| 2586s | grow its own world around itself you |
| 2588s | know and that's that's kind of what we |
| 2589s | started with you know back in when was |
| 2591s | that very long but then the other thing |
| 2594s | is we wound up shipping zerman first yes |
| 2596s | so that kind of like trips up that plan |
| 2598s | step one step two yeah we made it uh and |
| 2601s | then we you know did The Drifter cave |
| 2603s | with old man tession how well we |
| 2606s | internally call him is old man tession |
| 2608s | um and I I know this one we were was |
| 2611s | really special just because of where our |
| 2613s | heroes were at within the timeline of |
| 2616s | Warframe without spoiling anything with |
| 2618s | teshen |
| 2619s | um so it was really I think important |
| 2620s | for the team the art team to really nail |
| 2622s | the vibe of Tasha and what we were |
| 2625s | thinking about putting him in uh and |
| 2628s | then Kaz I know you designed his lovely |
| 2631s | staff yeah |
| 2635s | looks good matches him looks great he's |
| 2638s | riding on the heels of all the zairman |
| 2640s | stuff so yeah pretty easy to jump into |
| 2642s | that one yeah different vibe of course |
| 2645s | we have mocap oh Elise Elise she is our |
| 2649s | opera singer she's incredible animator |
| 2651s | on the team she's actually also |
| 2653s | babustine as well yeah I couldn't get a |
| 2656s | side by side but Obama scene as well as |
| 2659s | her so some incredible work done there |
| 2662s | Jeff you weren't throwing anyone around |
| 2664s | at that point to throw a lease around no |
| 2666s | no gentle with the least or gentle Tim |
| 2668s | on the other hand Tim's a different |
| 2670s | story Tim we toss around uh more weapons |
| 2672s | as well lager doing an incredible Dax |
| 2674s | bow concept like it just always Nails it |
| 2676s | black girl always Nails it lager is |
| 2678s | lager and incredible uh and then Carrie |
| 2681s | we have a little video here of a |
| 2684s | prototype a very very early version of |
| 2687s | devere and it's kind of like probably |
| 2689s | one of our uh biggest success stories |
| 2691s | because we wound up stopping trying to |
| 2694s | make it at that point and we went and |
| 2697s | did the new uh War instead so quite a |
| 2700s | lot of stuff went into this team came |
| 2702s | together and knocked this out right |
| 2704s | after damos came out |
| 2706s | um just to kind of see what we were |
| 2709s | going to do next and you know obviously |
| 2712s | a lot of rough edges at a time like this |
| 2714s | but um don't look at the Flying don't |
| 2716s | look at it |
| 2718s | things in Gray you know I've got some |
| 2721s | other videos that have flight controls |
| 2723s | that were so unintuitive that I managed |
| 2726s | to mainly bash into things even though |
| 2728s | it was mainly so |
| 2730s | right yeah you can see a lot of the |
| 2732s | factory stuff we were considering |
| 2734s | busting apart buildings and then several |
| 2736s | people talked me down off of the ledge |
| 2738s | on that one |
| 2740s | um |
| 2740s | but yeah there's some uh very very cool |
| 2742s | moments that the |
| 2744s | the early stuff through to the final uh |
| 2746s | would come through and this would be a |
| 2749s | very very long time before that don't |
| 2751s | mind the Sheep |
| 2755s | um |
| 2756s | but yeah this is uh this is like a |
| 2758s | really successful early step for us to |
| 2760s | be honest with you like you can get a |
| 2761s | feel for the place you're walking around |
| 2763s | you can understand how things might wind |
| 2765s | up scaling |
| 2767s | um there was like the the team could |
| 2768s | kind of buy into it at this point yeah |
| 2770s | and we would also know how hard it would |
| 2772s | probably be to do the way that we would |
| 2773s | like to do it you can't do this and a |
| 2776s | new war at the same time basically |
| 2778s | a little difficult yeah and so the video |
| 2781s | we're seeing here |
| 2782s | in here is this kind of how we would |
| 2784s | approach other open worlds as well like |
| 2785s | kind of making this giant playground |
| 2788s | Croc to make and walking around it and |
| 2791s | seeing what works what doesn't work is |
| 2793s | that kind of a normal process for our |
| 2795s | open world it's a relatively small chunk |
| 2796s | but yeah no you do it and you try to get |
| 2798s | it to be the real experience as quickly |
| 2800s | as we can and then that's how you can |
| 2802s | know whether or not it feels like it's |
| 2803s | worth doing because I mean there are a |
| 2805s | huge Endeavor we have a lot of really |
| 2808s | cool ones already so it better be worth |
| 2810s | doing yeah |
| 2812s | I always love seeing work I mean I love |
| 2814s | seeing work and progress stuff but all |
| 2816s | this behind the scenes is really cool to |
| 2818s | see uh you know what what worked what |
| 2820s | didn't work and and how we made it in |
| 2821s | the end so it was very cool |
| 2824s | okay |
| 2835s | all right when we last left are heroes |
| 2838s | uh I don't know where I was going with |
| 2841s | that |
| 2842s | um future of Warframe we're here to very |
| 2845s | Paradox is live obviously what's next |
| 2848s | for Warframe the things we're going to |
| 2850s | show you in this section some of it you |
| 2853s | may recognize a lot of it you will not |
| 2855s | and we're going to be very vague about |
| 2857s | it because you'll you'll learn very soon |
| 2860s | what it is |
| 2862s | um and the first thing I did want to |
| 2863s | talk about which you will recognize |
| 2865s | because they will be going live today |
| 2868s | are our heirloom collections |
| 2871s | yes |
| 2876s | and these are very special to the team |
| 2881s | because for many reasons one of them |
| 2883s | being is that minky came back and he |
| 2886s | concepted these designs for us |
| 2889s | so we have some really cool early whips |
| 2892s | of minky for the frost heirloom and kind |
| 2895s | of the direction that he was trying to |
| 2897s | go with that so cool different versions |
| 2901s | and then we have the Meg heirloom |
| 2903s | concept as well trying to figure out |
| 2906s | what she was going to end up |
| 2908s | a couple different shapes going on |
| 2911s | ultimately we we ended with this |
| 2913s | and it really what these skins emphasize |
| 2918s | for us is a legacy of 10 years of |
| 2921s | Warframe and again really special that |
| 2924s | minky came back and concepted these for |
| 2926s | us and one of the things that I want to |
| 2930s | note here involving in this collection |
| 2933s | is a brand new attachment so if you'll |
| 2935s | notice on the top of their heads you |
| 2937s | know Frost has his little spikies Meg |
| 2939s | has their little squiggles sorry minky |
| 2941s | that was terrible description of your |
| 2942s | art |
| 2943s | um but for a very very long time the |
| 2946s | community has wanted Halos so we have |
| 2949s | made what we're calling cigna's and |
| 2951s | they're a brand new cosmetic attachment |
| 2953s | in a style of a Halo so they're going to |
| 2955s | be coming with the heirlooms they'll |
| 2956s | have their respective ones you know |
| 2958s | fashion frame as you will we love halos |
| 2967s | and these are going live today at 2PM |
| 2970s | yes I know they did leak but they are |
| 2973s | going to be live at 2PM and you can |
| 2975s | check out everything the pack contains |
| 2976s | and all of that and really |
| 2979s | um celebrate 10 years of Warframe they |
| 2981s | are going to be uh you know what I'm |
| 2984s | going to say that for 10 alive anyways |
| 2986s | moving on |
| 2987s | um |
| 2988s | another new thing coming not coming |
| 2991s | today at 2PM |
| 2993s | um we were |
| 2995s | to bring another Warframe sorry |
| 2998s | we're doing another Warframe of course |
| 3000s | we're all about numbers 10 years of |
| 3001s | Warframe 30 years of De 54th Warframe |
| 3006s | this is De goth |
| 3009s | and this is Carson Keith Thompson art |
| 3012s | you got that motif of the Headless |
| 3014s | coming back again ever since I was |
| 3016s | little you gotta play being the Headless |
| 3017s | Horseman and things like that so we've |
| 3020s | got uh yeah dagapp here |
| 3022s | um who also has a distinctive |
| 3025s | Executioner's sort of bearded ax |
| 3028s | um which possibly is connected with why |
| 3031s | he looks that way I guess we'll find out |
| 3033s | well actually someone in a different |
| 3036s | game stole that ax I'm looking at Soul |
| 3038s | frame they stole the ax from us that's |
| 3040s | true I'm not gonna use this ass no okay |
| 3044s | okay she is going to have a different |
| 3046s | weapon |
| 3048s | um first a beautiful uh in-game look at |
| 3051s | what she's looking like right now as we |
| 3052s | continue developing her |
| 3054s | um shout out to obviously Keith for the |
| 3056s | concept model Mike beautiful job |
| 3059s | um and yeah she's giving very |
| 3061s | Headless Horseman Vibes I don't know if |
| 3064s | you can see the horse maybe |
| 3067s | attachments inspiration on her uh we'll |
| 3071s | talk about her more later on but like I |
| 3074s | said she will be coming with a blade and |
| 3076s | whip concept it's been a while since |
| 3078s | we've done a nasty blade and whip uh so |
| 3082s | Nikita fantastic job of matching it to |
| 3085s | her spooky Style |
| 3087s | and this is just a little in-game render |
| 3088s | of what that will look like love love |
| 3091s | love |
| 3092s | and as per usual on these art panels we |
| 3096s | usually reveal our next prime Warframe |
| 3103s | any guesses |
| 3108s | I heard |
| 3110s | Grendel |
| 3116s | it's a Grendel Prime will be our next |
| 3120s | shiny boy in the family of primes uh in |
| 3125s | his thick t-h-i-c-c uh Carrie I know in |
| 3129s | terms of art Direction you can kind of |
| 3131s | see a little bit of bore in his helmet |
| 3134s | can you tell me about kind of that |
| 3135s | choice to go a little animalistic and |
| 3138s | maybe some other options we had or just |
| 3140s | love it |
| 3142s | I mean when you've got a giant stomach |
| 3144s | that winds up essentially eating |
| 3146s | everything you know it's kind of a |
| 3148s | natural thing to play off of in Marco |
| 3150s | ran with things and did amazing with |
| 3151s | that yeah incredible love the boar look |
| 3154s | but of course with every Prime is an |
| 3157s | accessory and if we know Grendel |
| 3159s | Grendel's got the Zumba primes so it's |
| 3162s | going to be or sorry he's got the Zumba |
| 3163s | now he's gonna have the Zumba Prime sign |
| 3164s | Dana so be able to uh fashion frame of |
| 3167s | course |
| 3168s | and then and this is going to have like |
| 3171s | little floating feathers that fall out |
| 3173s | of it too that are kind of ephemeral |
| 3175s | little glowing things that come out like |
| 3178s | he's eating a chicken or something |
| 3179s | delicious the feathers are just flying |
| 3181s | behind him uh and as well his prime boy |
| 3184s | beautiful his prime weapon will be the |
| 3188s | zylock prime if you are a zylock enjoyer |
| 3193s | and as well |
| 3195s | wouldn't be without a melee and actually |

| 3204s | I remember looking at that concept and |
| 3207s | being in love with it because and I mean |
