| 0s | hi Ronan hello and welcome to episode 13 |
|---|---|
| 4s | of the world's rift dev podcast from |
| 6s | boss studios I'm master the messy good |
| 11s | for you guys mouth had the magnificence |
| 16s | what we said last week isn't it and I'm |
| 17s | Charlie Julia I don't know if he said |
| 20s | these names are gonna last anyway yes |
| 45s | are we doing what's going on we're on |
| 48s | episode 13 Matt is that oh if only was |
| 52s | so Halloween podcast you guys and it's |
| 58s | gonna go out under a ladder or in the |
| 62s | bathroom stalls yeah we've been working |
| 73s | pretty hard on getting everything in for |
| 76s | update 29 just hit feature lock put one |
| 85s | come in this morning I've put a couple |
| 87s | in debate today everything that all |
| 96s | players have ever requests yeah |
| 98s | everything you whatever you're thinking |
| 100s | of I must put it in I just did some work |
| 102s | on the damage curve we've had the |
| 112s | masterful Thomas come back in the road |
| 115s | to Grace's of this presentation tom and |
| 117s | it's just okay good there's goodly |
| 118s | literary the tenacious Thomas come back |
| 121s | and he's done some some he's basically |
| 123s | what reworked the damaged system so it |
| 125s | should rather than relying on unities |
| 127s | built in physics stuff it's using some |
| 130s | Irvine sort of systems which should make |
| 132s | it more reliable when you |
| 133s | do you mean player impact image yeah |
| 136s | player impact an object impact damage so |
| 139s | you don't like cannons and boards no so |
| 141s | things like drops should be a bit more |
| 142s | consistent things like getting hit by |
| 144s | things that are flying around should be |
| 146s | a bit more consistent and so I was just |
| 147s | sort of doing some work on that curve |
| 149s | balancing it making it am probably a |
| 151s | little more forgiving than maybe the |
| 153s | first instincts that the numbers of yeah |
| 157s | what is it |
| 159s | true yes some people ask is it true that |
| 164s | dependent depending on what body part |
| 167s | you hit you get more or less damage in |
| 171s | the game at the moment that is true but |
| 173s | this reeve work doesn't have that in say |
| 176s | so it's just consistent damage is it |
| 179s | going to be blessed or more forgiving |
| 181s | it's well it's it's more predictable so |
| 183s | if I fall from a very large height I'm |
| 185s | more likely to die from that but if I'm |
| 188s | sort of just on my ship and things sort |
| 190s | of you know accidentally move all this |
| 192s | of physics bug whatever you should be |
| 194s | less likely to take damage from that I |
| 196s | mean you know the sort of the reason |
| 200s | that it feels unfeeling at the moment |
| 201s | more than anything is cuz you don't know |
| 202s | why you're getting hit like if you know |
| 204s | that if I swing at this at this speed |
| 207s | it's gonna do some damage then you can |
| 208s | plan around that but if you sort of you |
| 210s | know I don't know you climbing something |
| 213s | and you get a bit of a a force that |
| 215s | comes out of nowhere or something and |
| 217s | you just bash into someone and die then |
| 218s | that doesn't feel great and it's that |
| 222s | sort of the big thing you know so you |
| 223s | should be able to start it's not you |
| 225s | know it's not perfect and they were |
| 227s | still so you know just in my bouncing |
| 229s | it's not well I don't like everything |
| 231s | else |
| 232s | unlike everything some of the only thing |
| 233s | that isn't perfect is yeah I mean like I |
| 238s | was I was you know just just messing |
| 239s | around with doing some of the stuff you |
| 240s | know a lot of the things that people do |
| 241s | when they're landing on things is |
| 243s | they'll you know hit rag doll at the |
| 245s | right time and hit things of the right |
| 246s | angle and you know it's still kind of |
| 247s | possible to do some of that stuff so |
| 248s | it's not it's not fixed everything but |
| 251s | it is you know more predictable in |
| 252s | general and I think better yeah yeah if |
| 256s | it's more predictable it's definitely |
| 257s | better yeah yeah I've been working on |
| 260s | the tutorial stuff onboarding for new |
| 264s | players so fans of the game for a long |
| 266s | time |
| 267s | this may not apply to you unless you're |
| 269s | trying to get your friends to play with |
| 271s | you in which case you should have less |
| 272s | explaining to do about how the game |
| 274s | works yeah we're working on building out |
| 278s | the onboarding for post Haven so they |
| 281s | became the start Island we're working on |
| 283s | teaching players how to build and pilot |
| 286s | their ship now what's nice about this is |
| 288s | is sort of a dual features not only do |
| 292s | we get the onboarding and hopefully |
| 293s | allow new players to access the game |
| 296s | more easily we also are building the |
| 299s | foundation for a quest system which can |
| 302s | be used outside of the tutorial and more |
| 304s | general you know adding quests to the |
| 307s | game yeah more detail on that much later |
| 310s | when the actual system is in place but |
| 312s | just know that this is a we're not just |
| 314s | working that early or were laying the |
| 315s | foundation for something much bigger |
| 316s | yeah I think one of the things we like |
| 318s | to do when we're especially you know |
| 320s | when we're planning out feature at the |
| 322s | moment is try and think about ways that |
| 324s | those features can be put in in such a |
| 325s | way that they're sort of flexible and |
| 327s | last do something else later for Less |
| 328s | work because I think in the past we've |
| 330s | been guilty on this project of making |
| 332s | things that are a little bit too bespoke |
| 334s | and a little bit too difficult to use |
| 336s | for other things yeah that's one of the |
| 339s | big lessons we've learned |
| 340s | hmmm what else is going into what else |
| 345s | has been featuring locked all that all |
| 347s | the food stuff I was talking about is in |
| 349s | Oliver just before we recorded this |
| 351s | found an excellent bug where something |
| 353s | that's supposed to increase your sprint |
| 355s | speed by 10% |
| 356s | I actually increases it by a thousand |
| 359s | which is amazing their pleaded with me |
| 364s | to leave in the game but it just looks |
| 373s | like Dex flash found a new new way into |
| 377s | trick-trick made I mean yeah one of the |
| 379s | cool things that warframe did to be fair |
| 381s | was you know when people figured out |
| 383s | glitches with their jumping and moving |
| 385s | system and they sort of made a part of |
| 387s | the game yeah exactly instead of yanking |
| 389s | around maps you can now sort of free run |
| 391s | almost so you know we like to look at |
| 393s | things that are really cool for one |
| 396s | reason or another and find out ways of |
| 397s | implementing some element of that but I |
| 400s | don't think |
| 401s | a thousand percent spring a speed |
| 403s | increase is the is the way the wagon |
| 406s | that they were running they're running |
| 408s | so fast they were taking damage yeah it |
| 412s | was funny so one of my favorite items in |
| 414s | any video game is this is this pair of |
| 417s | boots that you find reasonably early on |
| 418s | in Morrowind basically you just just |
| 421s | after you sort of leave the first time |
| 422s | you're going on exploring if you go to |
| 424s | the right spot you just sort of you know |
| 425s | hear the screaming and there's man pulls |
| 427s | out of the sky and he just crumpled on |
| 429s | the floor in front of you like what the |
| 431s | hell happens here and he got at him and |
| 433s | you know you just loot him cuz you're a |
| 435s | cool person |
| 436s | yeah just leaves random corpses that you |
| 439s | find but if you do that you find he's |
| 441s | got some really shiny boots on called |
| 442s | the can't wonder boots of like high jump |
| 446s | or something and because that worked |
| 447s | well for him environment of storytelling |
| 451s | you see it's very good you put the boots |
| 452s | on he like man this thing will give me |
| 454s | like you know huge amount of high jumps |
| 455s | ridiculous he put them on you jump into |
| 457s | the sky and then they've got no |
| 458s | enchantment of slow falling on them so |
| 467s | except for where those boots are is they |
| 469s | came from a tree we'll never know we'll |
| 471s | never know |
| 471s | what I like to do that sees those beats |
| 473s | and then just have some slow fall |
| 474s | patients or Levitan yeah yeah you can be |
| 477s | pretty smart back yeah it's right there |
| 479s | does not confirm any of that for worlds |
| 482s | of drift know it but we are going to |
| 483s | definitely put boots of blinding speed |
| 484s | in which allow you to run a thousand |
| 486s | percent sevens blind people and blind |
| 488s | everyone in real life through the game |
| 493s | yeah we also oh that's funny actually |
| 496s | you could just increase the brightness |
| 497s | sharply destroy people's monitors oh |
| 500s | yeah yeah swear guys they're not out to |
| 504s | get you the other stuff is gonna wait |
| 509s | we've got some some exciting new |
| 511s | Christmas stuff for the holidays I'm |
| 513s | sorry we have holiday stuff going in it |
| 515s | happens to resemble some similar colors |
| 517s | to wear foundation doesn't have Chris |
| 526s | it's not a religious thing is that they |
| 529s | don't have that to means yeah so it's |
| 534s | we got some holiday stuff coming in for |
| 535s | that including a new ship part which is |
| 538s | I guess we could probably talk about it |
| 540s | it's the it's nothing huge it's just the |
| 543s | Christmas lantern and what's exciting |
| 545s | about that is no god I said it again yes |
| 549s | the holiday lantern and what's cool |
| 553s | about that is that we're also |
| 554s | introducing a new dyeing system to |
| 556s | replace the one that's currently in |
| 557s | there we're sorry more about a new dye |
| 559s | system yeah I can I can do that I can |
| 563s | also apologize to current players who |
| 564s | just got used to the one that we are you |
| 566s | know added in 27 that was added mostly |
| 570s | to try and get this in the game as fast |
| 571s | as we could but then realized that there |
| 573s | were some problems with the way that we |
| 574s | did it to have and adapt to other things |
| 575s | which now that that's been changed |
| 579s | should allow us to do things like dye |
| 580s | ships hate our chips and paint different |
| 584s | ship parts and also horrifically ugly |
| 589s | combinations of colors whenever you want |
| 591s | but mostly pink pink pink is lovely is |
| 594s | Dinkley I don't actually know this is |
| 596s | their pink dye him again yeah it's not |
| 601s | actually pink I'm saving that for a |
| 602s | special occasion I was sort of hoping to |
| 604s | put that in balance exactly but you know |
| 607s | maybe we just slide it in there that's |
| 610s | yeah okay so the rest of the cool thing |
| 614s | about the Christmas Lantern is it's the |
| 616s | first diable white in the game and so I |
| 618s | said Christmas again whatever it's the |
| 621s | first type of light in the game and the |
| 622s | idea was for it to resemble holiday |
| 626s | lights and and now you can play some |
| 630s | around your your chip and create |
| 633s | colorful displays which is I think super |
| 636s | cool I'm excited yeah let's make a ship |
| 638s | with a nice inviting red light yeah yeah |
| 641s | oh we should make a trap |
| 643s | Santa mites yeah like moths to a flame |
| 645s | just like in real red light districts oh |
| 648s | that tractor I didn't pick up on that a |
| 650s | big deal yeah actually no tingly trying |
| 656s | to keep the stomping straight well yeah |
| 660s | no we had we did have a strip club in |
| 662s | Rosa's roof right so maybe the case you |
| 663s | had all the interior lighting in there |
| 665s | for yeah yeah people dancing |
| 667s | you've seen the video where I mean the |
| 670s | adventure but there were people who were |
| 673s | on poles in yeah it was the least erotic |
| 679s | never it never clicked maybe if it was |
| 685s | bathed in red light need to be feather |
| 688s | on that many strip clubs with like a |
| 689s | nice person just playing some gentle |
| 691s | acoustic guitar in the corner I might |
| 693s | not the typical vibe there might make |
| 694s | them better maybe I think one thing I |
| 697s | have mentioned we were trying to do for |
| 699s | this update which we didn't manage to |
| 701s | get in which I think I should mention is |
| 702s | the Marauder instrument stuff which is |
| 703s | gone on the backlog because it got |
| 707s | pushed the next update basically cuz |
| 708s | yeah we have enough are we art assets of |
| 712s | now most of the art is now done but it |
| 715s | took until quite late in the day and we |
| 717s | needed the code support for it and I |
| 719s | think because the you know the one of |
| 723s | the new instruments is a sort of seated |
| 724s | instrument it needs a new system so it |
| 726s | more code than you know how seating |
| 729s | works how where well the house right now |
| 732s | yeah yeah I mean also obviously as as |
| 735s | you got as you guys want well know that |
| 737s | the one thing that didn't think about |
| 739s | when I planned the instrument layout was |
| 741s | that we're using the e key which is how |
| 743s | you get off things that when you're |
| 745s | sitting so just just for that one |
| 751s | exception paragraph in other words what |
| 756s | else is gonna we got we got win over |
| 757s | tying and painting and we've gone over |
| 759s | cooking cooking we have the tutorial |
| 763s | stuff going in and a whole bunch of |
| 765s | other stuff like rarity for the icons |
| 767s | like engines you want to oh right right |
| 776s | yeah over he is being introduced to the |
| 777s | game and with it the material rebalance |
| 782s | as well as the addition of three new |
| 784s | materials tell me the name of the new |
| 785s | material I was gonna pull off actually |
| 787s | even to make it sort of a surprise but |
| 790s | there are two of them have ties to names |
| 794s | in the Lord mm-hmm and one of them has |
| 796s | ties to the name in joke |
| 800s | I actually did I wanted to make one Leo |
| 804s | Miam for her blue okay but he hated that |
| 808s | he hated genuinely hated it actually one |
| 812s | of the one of the foods has a little |
| 814s | rough a little in J references I'm not |
| 818s | gonna tell you what food it is but let |
| 820s | me tell you an unrelated story about |
| 822s | shortbread there was an email a long |
| 827s | time ago used to get we have a biscuit |
| 829s | tin in the office which is a replenished |
| 831s | of the by the benevolence of butter and |
| 835s | as one reasons why I got very very fat |
| 838s | for a while it's a certain point we were |
| 843s | quite regularly getting delicious |
| 845s | shortbread and and I know that it's |
| 847s | obviously a very common thing in this |
| 848s | country I believe Americans do you know |
| 850s | about shortbread we know what about it |
| 852s | yeah but you know it's our bread big |
| 853s | like the rest of America yeah your |
| 856s | biscuits have exited bread as well it's |
| 857s | mad it's mad anyway we what a biscuit |
| 860s | shortbread is a biscuit biscuit deliver |
| 871s | dollar gimme they're very there's |
| 876s | basically they're very sort of buttery |
| 878s | delicious flour sugar its height |
| 885s | challenge and it's yeah so there's a guy |
| 889s | in the office could ian and he sent an |
| 891s | email because we're getting so much |
| 892s | shortbread and not enough the other |
| 893s | stuff for him and he's like you look |
| 894s | look he said look shortbreads not that |
| 897s | good it's not that good and we're |
| 899s | getting phyllo of it and it's just not |
| 900s | worth it because we're all gonna get fat |
| 902s | and he was definitely right about that |
| 903s | yeah we need to get less shortbread |
| 905s | that's we call it shortbread cake and |
| 907s | people never let him forget the father |
| 909s | he's an enemy of shortbread hates fun |
| 913s | and so unrelated there's no shortbread |
| 916s | yeah completely unrelated but mo butter |
| 919s | so actually you know if it's a mystery |
| 921s | how the butter gets in there a butter |
| 923s | later and then lights right so it's done |
| 926s | to my butter don't it yeah you see the |
| 928s | things I did think about that and I |
| 930s | thought about the the idea of any of the |
| 932s | creatures we have in the game producing |
| 933s | milk |
| 934s | that wasn't worth that image so I'm not |
| 937s | adding milk adding butter the wheels |
| 940s | yeah maybe well because some whale milk |
| 942s | what do you mean when we have more |
| 944s | whales when we have whales in the game |
| 946s | I'm item 427 very excited I stumbled |
| 949s | over my words yeah if you guys haven't I |
| 951s | can't wait we've talked about like |
| 958s | [Laughter] |
| 964s | language family podcast obviously |
| 968s | everybody spends so on talking about |
| 969s | strip clubs I really I really enjoyed |
| 972s | actually last week when when we asked |
| 974s | Alec to capture a swear word he pledged |
| 977s | herein when we mention okay so less a |
| 985s | thing that broadly covers that still of |
| 988s | the key points that we've got locked in |
| 989s | for 29 doesn't it oh wait so sorry about |
| 993s | the overheat it sort of skipped over |
| 994s | that with that engine there but yeah |
| 996s | just a little bit |
| 997s | somehow shortbread so overheat is going |
| 999s | into the game with that comes the visual |
| 1001s | effects for that are appropriate for the |
| 1003s | actual system as well as a new it's a |
| 1008s | stat I suppose that it's going to show |
| 1010s | up on your schematics for engines and |
| 1013s | cannons and swivel guns which of the |
| 1015s | three things that can overheat it's |
| 1016s | called the cooling factor it's not a bar |
| 1018s | it's not represented as a bar like the |
| 1020s | rest of the stats that you might see |
| 1022s | it's represented right underneath the |
| 1023s | weight as a number that goes between 0 |
| 1027s | to 100 currently with the materials that |
| 1030s | we have in the game right now it's |
| 1031s | impossible to get a hundred so for those |
| 1033s | of you who really want a hundred but |
| 1034s | can't seem to get it don't fret that's |
| 1036s | how we designed the game and what that |
| 1040s | does is it it should show you how the |
| 1046s | connectivity of your engine is allowing |
| 1050s | it to cool and how efficiently it does |
| 1053s | cool and how quickly it cools yeah it's |
| 1055s | a based on stats that are already in the |
| 1058s | game so nothing is is you know |
| 1060s | specifically changing based on the |
| 1062s | materials that are you know that's that |
| 1065s | the thing does already exists it's just |
| 1066s | a map representing that in a way that |
| 1068s | is understand of what someone who's |
| 1069s | actually building an engine because |
| 1070s | right you wanted things we wanted to |
| 1072s | avoid was having two engines that based |
| 1074s | on the stats that were visible looked |
| 1076s | exactly the same but one of which was |
| 1077s | wildly better at cooling right what I'm |
| 1079s | hoping is that maybe we could have |
| 1080s | another podcast or stream or something |
| 1082s | dedicated to me explaining the system |
| 1085s | because it's it's a little complicated I |
| 1087s | love tuition or I could write a tech |
| 1089s | Tuesday whatever it is when it when it |
| 1091s | goes live well we can do both I think |
| 1099s | when it goes live on pts and people are |
| 1101s | testing yeah yeah yeah we can stream and |
| 1104s | have fun with it and experiment with |
| 1105s | that sounds great yeah without an atlas |
| 1108s | core it's gonna be hard and yeah tech |
| 1113s | Tuesdays are always welcome yeah okay |
| 1115s | very welcome I've got a 16 page document |
| 1119s | outlining all of it so we can just throw |
| 1121s | that in there and let players read it |
| 1123s | sure great joke yeah yeah that's it's |
| 1127s | that's a lot of we have some more stuff |
| 1128s | that we haven't talked about that's |
| 1129s | going in but that's probably enough for |
| 1131s | now right yeah yeah if you guys want to |
| 1134s | throw me some stuff over to the roadmap |
| 1137s | details so we've been doing a thing with |
| 1147s | the roadmap and the thing is we're |
| 1149s | adding more details to some of the stuff |
| 1151s | mentioned on the roadmap some of the |
| 1153s | more no not more exciting some of the |
| 1158s | things that we can actually find words |
| 1160s | to describe such as new features or big |
| 1163s | new changes or anything that has visual |
| 1167s | cues or will actively affect your you |
| 1171s | know and change your gameplay style |
| 1173s | we're adding more details to that |
| 1175s | because a lot of the people say why are |
| 1179s | you sniffing it's fine |
| 1183s | some Alford's actually nochmal for it |
| 1187s | actually you monster yes looks the same |
| 1193s | might have been helping me compile lots |
| 1197s | of |
| 1198s | documents design documents and I've been |
| 1200s | bullying the art MOOC to Lucas i sat |
| 1204s | down with Luke and we went through all |
| 1207s | the history of the stuff that I was |
| 1210s | asking him about what it was like Regas |
| 1212s | grieves and how that came about and now |
| 1215s | it's it's going I'm slowly updating the |
| 1218s | roadmap and you will now see it'll read |
| 1221s | more buttons appearing on most of the |
| 1225s | road map it's very exciting |
| 1226s | it is very exciting and that will let |
| 1228s | you read more if you click those buttons |
| 1231s | that's true it's sort of |
| 1233s | self-explanatory I just wanted to get it |
| 1234s | out there just you know make it very |
| 1237s | clear yeah I suppose I see what we're |
| 1239s | doing with the read more buttons nice |
| 1242s | full circle yeah and you guys can see |
| 1246s | some earlier iterations of some concept |
| 1249s | arts including things like because we're |
| 1251s | rebalancing of redoing whether walls you |
| 1254s | can see how they started and how they |
| 1256s | were initially designed and thought |
| 1257s | through so that's fun yeah but yeah more |
| 1262s | deeps more deeds that we're moving on to |
| 1266s | the community question question right |
| 1272s | community be asking Finn says from the |
| 1276s | blog yeah where's the button that lets |
| 1278s | you skip the tutorial mal for okay so |
| 1282s | the bun yes you've probably heard me |
| 1285s | talking if you're a regular listener to |
| 1287s | the podcast about how we're gonna let |
| 1289s | people who've already completed the |
| 1290s | tutorial skip the tutorial and obviously |
| 1293s | then the update comes out and there's no |
| 1294s | skip button it was it was it was sort of |
| 1298s | that or delay the launch really because |
| 1299s | there were so many sort of weird |
| 1300s | educators and things with the way that |
| 1302s | we were tracking whether or not people |
| 1304s | should be given that tutorial thing and |
| 1306s | also the actual skipping of the steps |
| 1308s | was completely broken so you know it's |
| 1310s | not it's not impossible to do it just |
| 1312s | didn't make it in for the actual launch |
| 1314s | of the feature but we are working on |
| 1315s | putting it back in you know it's it's |
| 1319s | you know it obviously it's annoying if |
| 1321s | you're making lots of new characters and |
| 1323s | you have to keep going through the thing |
| 1324s | again I mean I think it's also important |
| 1327s | that you know I've been guilty in the |
| 1329s | past in when I'm playing games that have |
| 1331s | you know quite a complex systems and a |
| 1334s | tutorial being a donut okay and then not |
| 1337s | name I'm doing and then stopping playing |
| 1339s | the game so you know I think I think |
| 1342s | we're probably gonna make it so the |
| 1344s | people who are just starting the game |
| 1345s | for the first time just go into it and |
| 1347s | it's not you know it's not a |
| 1350s | ridiculously long tutorial but what it |
| 1352s | does do is it makes the first play |
| 1354s | experience for new players a lot |
| 1356s | smoother you know we've done a lot of |
| 1358s | play tests and and just dropping people |
| 1360s | into islands like we used to the rate of |
| 1362s | people giving up his is so high because |
| 1365s | you know you just get dropped into this |
| 1367s | island and because we don't have control |
| 1368s | over what those islands are people don't |
| 1371s | know how to do anything and we can't |
| 1374s | sort of you know show them very easily |
| 1376s | because we have no idea what the island |
| 1377s | that they're on is going to be like so |
| 1378s | that's the big thing that's the reason |
| 1379s | why havens in and that's why it's not |
| 1381s | optional at least for new players but I |
| 1383s | think you know we want to make it so |
| 1385s | that if you're making lots of new |
| 1386s | characters or one thing or another you |
| 1390s | don't have to repeatedly do Haven I mean |
| 1392s | you know it doesn't take that long |
| 1393s | though I can do all those in five |
| 1395s | minutes yeah well I do sort of spawn |
| 1398s | with so potentially you like if if you |
| 1401s | spawn with two or three other people |
| 1403s | you're out of metal you need to run |
| 1406s | around get to the difficult parts oh |
| 1409s | yeah but if you're an experienced play |
| 1410s | you can go into the island yes well |
| 1413s | within the experienced players ideally |
| 1415s | the ones that are trying to skip ya |
| 1416s | tutorial yeah it yeah it doesn't take |
| 1419s | that long but it is something that we |
| 1421s | want you guys to be able to skip it's |
| 1423s | something that was actually taken off |
| 1424s | the table for this next update but I'm |
| 1427s | still trying to get him in um and the |
| 1430s | reason was taken off the table is |
| 1432s | because we're trying to fix other things |
| 1433s | with the tutorial at the moment yeah |
| 1435s | it's like because we're we were changing |
| 1437s | the way there the tutorial prompts etc |
| 1439s | work if we were to have done it before |
| 1440s | now we'd have to redo it anyway so right |
| 1443s | it's the way it's not that we don't |
| 1444s | think it's important it's just that it's |
| 1446s | not as important as having the system |
| 1447s | work correctly anyway yeah yeah and you |
| 1450s | know we need to redo it if we did it |
| 1452s | beforehand so yeah that means yes if it |
| 1454s | needs to be laid down the line oh well |
| 1457s | Freddy's ed says on Steam thank you devs |
| 1461s | oh yeah that was that was a big one who |
| 1463s | was a double comment |
| 1465s | Freddie's ed says on Steam Thank You |
| 1468s | Dobbs for creating this amazing game we |
| 1470s | love you we love that you fixed duping |
| 1473s | and we love lots of content for the |
| 1475s | upcoming patches please give us some |
| 1477s | more in-game items such as weapons and |
| 1479s | allow us to find a blueprint for those |
| 1482s | boots the boots are now yes sir actually |
| 1487s | the reason that there's no schematic for |
| 1490s | the Regas graves is because it's you |
| 1493s | spelled it wrong we didn't fix it we did |
| 1499s | it's coming for this next this nice |
| 1501s | ending yeah oh yeah I think we did we |
| 1503s | have a the boots themselves rarely drop |
| 1505s | or is that they're just not in the game |
| 1507s | the boots themselves are appropriately |
| 1509s | rare yet the schematic for it doesn't |
| 1511s | drop because we accidentally spelled it |
| 1513s | wrong in the loot table so me guess that |
| 1514s | yeah we used an old name for it in me |
| 1516s | yeah we did yeah yeah sorry about that |
| 1518s | guys but that head should be in the game |
| 1520s | and it's coming very soon and thanks for |
| 1523s | the love dude we love hearing the dude |
| 1525s | that you like the game as for new |
| 1527s | in-game weapons or in-game items such as |
| 1529s | weapons there's gonna be a bunch of new |
| 1531s | in-game stuff coming for this this next |
| 1533s | patch none of it is weapons but that is |
| 1537s | soon we're discussing doing a sort of |
| 1540s | combat update where we're gonna add a |
| 1542s | whole bunch of violence and it's a it |
| 1552s | will include weapons so keep your ears |
| 1555s | peeled is a blackjack your eat ears and |
| 1559s | eyes peeled and what a blackjack would |
| 1561s | do is it'll ragdoll plays we went home |
| 1565s | ooh |
| 1566s | that actually sounds pretty cool sounds |
| 1569s | incredibly annoying game design I should |
| 1572s | try it |
| 1573s | plus the 1000 sprint speed and someone |
| 1575s | Sprint's past you like a baseball yeah |
| 1578s | then you have to hit them with your |
| 1578s | blackjack and ragdoll them into the |
| 1580s | stadium cricket if we have rounders back |
| 1592s | around us back then it converts whatever |
| 1594s | motion that they have into the direction |
| 1596s | yeah yeah |
| 1597s | yeah ragdoll then you could round us |
| 1600s | back and then they golf into the |
| 1601s | bleachers this is how our design happens |
| 1603s | yeah live on a podcast inspiration where |
| 1609s | [Laughter] |
| 1610s | it just spills forth a real problem |
| 1615s | frozen waters ask some YouTube what |
| 1619s | password protecting containers ever be |
| 1621s | considered it would be great a great qol |
| 1625s | mechanic and could encourage more |
| 1628s | organic and spread and grouping and |
| 1629s | crewing if that danger of losing your |
| 1632s | stuff to a crew member is mitigated we |
| 1636s | all know how attached folks get to their |
| 1638s | internet stuff is interesting here |
| 1640s | because I guess at the moment you know |
| 1641s | whoever's crude on your ship has access |
| 1643s | to all your stuff so the idea being that |
| 1645s | if you put your sort of nearest and |
| 1647s | dearest stuff in like a special lockbox |
| 1650s | with a personal look then you could be |
| 1653s | feel happier about inviting people to |
| 1654s | occur and not have to worry about them |
| 1655s | just seeing your stuff and leaving yeah |
| 1658s | that sounds like a cool idea I think it |
| 1661s | goes against at least herb and Luke's |
| 1663s | idea of what the game is supposed to be |
| 1665s | which is this like constantly on edge |
| 1668s | who do I trust |
| 1670s | experience of like I know it's a not |
| 1675s | necessarily because it is something |
| 1677s | that's like if you aren't sure who to |
| 1680s | trust then you could still have this I |
| 1681s | mean if you had like one padlock for |
| 1683s | example yeah like some one container |
| 1685s | conceptually I don't mind it but I would |
| 1687s | it's gonna come down to like the |
| 1689s | holistic idea of what is worlds and how |
| 1692s | do we want people to play it in that |
| 1694s | regard it's a conversation very good you |
| 1702s | phrasing waters thank you it's just ice |
| 1705s | so that's what that is |
| 1707s | his name is sure if that's intended to |
| 1714s | be like an ice pun or remove is what's |
| 1717s | something about electricity could be |
| 1720s | electricity is electric water type |
| 1723s | Pokemon maybe the last waters |
| 1727s | what's a reference there's a pop-culture |
| 1729s | reference |
| 1730s | I love that bubble okay anyway right |
| 1734s | Shiraz asks I have a technical question |
| 1737s | how do you build the walls when you make |
| 1741s | a new world do you just have a square |
| 1743s | over you and draw lines or do you do it |
| 1746s | manually in 3d piece by piece |
| 1748s | how does it work Miele Ford well I |
| 1750s | answered this on YouTube as well but I |
| 1752s | will answer again here for the folks at |
| 1753s | home who are not too shy rose so |
| 1757s | basically there's the tool that we have |
| 1759s | is it's a big square and I place down |
| 1763s | the these markers which dictate the |
| 1766s | different biomes and those are used to |
| 1768s | calculate Voronoi cells which are |
| 1770s | basically just automatically generated |
| 1772s | walls and then I encode those points |
| 1775s | with the data of what biome type and |
| 1778s | what cultures out they are and that is |
| 1781s | used to decide what kind of wall type |
| 1784s | they are around there and then I I can |
| 1786s | place islands down from our database |
| 1789s | onto that and adjust the height of them |
| 1792s | as well so I have you no control over |
| 1793s | the sort of longitude and latitude as |
| 1795s | well as the height of all the islands |
| 1797s | but I don't have direct control over the |
| 1800s | walls and I don't have direct control |
| 1801s | over the shape of things I just sort of |
| 1803s | have to move those cells around that |
| 1805s | works which means if I want to for |
| 1806s | example take one by them and make it |
| 1808s | bigger than the others for one reason or |
| 1810s | another I have to do that by moving we |
| 1812s | have the biomes in the map away from it |
| 1814s | so it's a little fiddly a little awkward |
| 1817s | but it's what we've got and you know we |
| 1820s | want to update it to make it a little |
| 1824s | bit more intuitive and do some |
| 1825s | hand-drawn stuffs we can have some |
| 1826s | things aren't straight lines but at the |
| 1829s | moment we can't say we will at some |
| 1831s | point I've been talking about that for |
| 1833s | and how long have I been on this project |
| 1835s | now I think I'll be doing the map for |
| 1838s | three years three years |
| 1840s | damn yeah well one day well here's |
| 1844s | another question about walls and things |
| 1847s | and barriers squall asks would it be |
| 1852s | possible to create a pocket of space |
| 1853s | within a storm sound wall like an eye of |
| 1856s | a hurricane and with that could within |
| 1859s | that there be an island it's not |
| 1861s | possible I just explained it however |
| 1863s | that rad and I |
| 1864s | I asked him when I first got yeah I was |
| 1866s | like hey what if we did this he was like |
| 1868s | hey yeah that'd be cool no we've done |
| 1874s | some experiments with hand-drawn maps we |
| 1876s | have like a quite a sort of it was a bit |
| 1878s | of a technical a bit hard to use system |
| 1880s | that just sort of generated the visual |
| 1882s | patterns so it didn't work as actual |
| 1885s | biome indicator so it would need more |
| 1886s | work for that and to be honest it was so |
| 1889s | long and difficult it wouldn't be viable |
| 1891s | for a proper map but as soon as we had |
| 1893s | that as a system I was able to make |
| 1895s | these sort of pocket plans and so to be |
| 1896s | honest they're like that the way that we |
| 1898s | want to do the whole layout is to have |
| 1900s | you know and we have a biome called the |
| 1902s | expanse but it's no more expansive than |
| 1903s | any others the idea is that the majority |
| 1906s | of the map is expanse and there's not a |
| 1908s | huge amount of walls or barriers there |
| 1910s | and then you have these pockets of other |
| 1912s | Buyten type so remnants would be a small |
| 1914s | biome that's in there and then so you |
| 1915s | have these sort of little pocket ones |
| 1917s | but then we can do interesting stuff |
| 1918s | with weather patterns with that as well |
| 1919s | that's the idea we just can't do it yet |
| 1922s | it just breaks that's not it's not means |
| 1927s | not broken it's just not made yet that |
| 1929s | way it can't that was a reference to the |
| 1932s | make the map bigger yeah no no the size |
| 1935s | it is I mean to be honest like if it was |
| 1937s | less because of the and pandrol maps |
| 1940s | it's possible at the same sort of time |
| 1941s | we'd be able to do a bit bigger maybe |
| 1942s | maybe we'll see because it'd be less |
| 1945s | islands maybe the creature stuff would |
| 1947s | be another point cool |
| 1948s | maybe neon asks neon serious neon what |
| 1956s | happens to your stuff ship inventory |
| 1957s | everything when you delete a character |
| 1959s | if the ship is logged out does it stay |
| 1961s | disappeared forever or does the Reviver |
| 1963s | get cleared in the ship and the ship |
| 1966s | spawns owned by no one this your now |
| 1969s | non-existent character drop a bag or |
| 1972s | whatever your was in your inventory and |
| 1975s | belt when you delete it I have so many |
| 1977s | questions |
| 1979s | he also says loved the podcast keep up |
| 1982s | the great work peeps say hi to leek |
| 1984s | Andheri Luke from me Julia |
| 1989s | so I think actually we're investigating |
| 1992s | a bug right now where the ships do not |
| 1993s | disappear as they should but the |
| 1994s | intended behavior is that when you |
| 1996s | delete |
| 1997s | a character all of your inventory and |
| 1999s | your ship and everything is just removed |
| 2001s | from the service yeah I mean obviously |
| 2002s | if somebody who hasn't deleted their |
| 2004s | character is still playing the game then |
| 2006s | it will stay there it's only when the |
| 2008s | last person is deletes their character |
| 2010s | should happen so say there's two people |
| 2013s | and from one of them deletes it |
| 2014s | obviously dying so character then the |
| 2016s | ships would still be there because the |
| 2017s | other characters still there you inherit |
| 2019s | if they both Anita character I think |
| 2021s | that's only the case if they're |
| 2022s | registered to a Reviver on that ship |
| 2024s | yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so that that's |
| 2028s | what the the people are supposed to do |
| 2030s | right now I think it's a little bit |
| 2031s | different the the character does not |
| 2033s | drop a bag the inventory is just to look |
| 2035s | at setting it down yeah all right thanks |
| 2038s | for love yeah I was I was actually very |
| 2043s | pleased with how sweet episode were nice |
| 2047s | I mean this is what this is why we're |
| 2049s | doing what we're doing for you guys we |
| 2050s | want to help you and we love here in the |
| 2053s | deposit of feedback thank you yeah and |
| 2056s | the questions spend that some of these |
| 2058s | questions are awesome I like this next |
| 2060s | one yeah crazy Savior asks all of these |
| 2064s | buyers away are from YouTube I've always |
| 2067s | been a fan of having to overcome an |
| 2068s | environmental aspect of the game so |
| 2070s | speaking for of new biomes and and a |
| 2073s | little actual player versus environment |
| 2075s | content would we ever get a storm zone |
| 2079s | wait I skipped a life storm zone |
| 2084s | something like a storm wall but scaled |
| 2086s | down and roving lightning areas similar |
| 2088s | how to rain spawns in particular spots I |
| 2092s | feel like the weather is a huge |
| 2094s | environmental aspect that could make |
| 2096s | even the dullest moments of the game |
| 2097s | very exciting yes I think the other two |
| 2101s | on the roadmap biomes that we have |
| 2103s | coming up for the next one would be the |
| 2104s | Arctic biome which will probably have |
| 2106s | some sort of blizzards and the one after |
| 2108s | that the jungle biome and the sort of |
| 2111s | very early designs we have for that |
| 2113s | involve sort of quite a lot more player |
| 2117s | versus environment stuff so you know the |
| 2119s | the sort of I don't know if this is |
| 2120s | where it's going to end up being but |
| 2122s | this is the the plan that I write out |
| 2124s | for it like a year ago was that it would |
| 2127s | have a lot of these a lot of poisonous |
| 2129s | clouds like noxious stuff in it so there |
| 2131s | will be you know |
| 2133s | waise island craters could make things |
| 2136s | that create Julia's laughing I know |
| 2142s | there would be poisonous gases and |
| 2145s | potentially also some interesting things |
| 2146s | like some some different kinds of |
| 2149s | insects that could bite you if you |
| 2151s | walked through them and something that |
| 2152s | they wouldn't be they would be sort of |
| 2156s | well the idea is that it's like you know |
| 2158s | you can get the fireflies which is sort |
| 2159s | of law particles to go around so instead |
| 2161s | of creating a new creature with |
| 2163s | behaviors is this cloud of insects that |
| 2165s | exists on these islands and they would |
| 2167s | you know maybe bite you or or do some |
| 2169s | other interesting things maybe some |
| 2171s | bouncy mushrooms because I love bouncy |
| 2173s | mushrooms I mean weird chock full of |
| 2176s | ideas for different how many ideas |
| 2178s | yeah and none of that is confirmed |
| 2180s | because it's all just written down the |
| 2181s | Google Doc that sounds cool doesn't it |
| 2185s | yeah but yeah like also like storms in |
| 2188s | general I think roving storms is |
| 2189s | something that we would like to do |
| 2191s | anyway and so potentially we'll have |
| 2194s | something along those lines in maybe |
| 2199s | even in an existing biome at some point |
| 2201s | but yeah we need to do more with their |
| 2203s | weather patterns as be as and when we |
| 2205s | can sort of expand that system okay cool |
| 2208s | well on that note |
| 2210s | unfortunately we we are running out of |
| 2212s | time for this podcast because we want to |
| 2216s | keep it short and sweet and sassy and |
