| 52s | once I'm not coughing very good I was |
| 56s | speaking of coughing we had a really |
| 57s | good stream last week yeah it's highly |
| 63s | in focus stream yeah but people seem to |
| 69s | really like the technical talk that |
| 71s | Silvan gave so ideally we'll be doing |
| 74s | more of that in the future |
| 75s | he's a beautiful man he is yeah and he's |
| 78s | you know he gave me a little kiss right |

| 87s | his first podcast maybe as we continue |
| 89s | forward lips will do the more French in |
| 96s | a podcast streams right when the world |
| 98s | is watching yeah well you guys don't |
| 101s | know is that once the once the audio |
| 102s | cuts out me and muster it's just just |
| 106s | get it yeah is this a family podcast I |
| 110s | will personally send something awesome |
| 114s | for whoever writes a fanfic about these |
| 116s | two great that's what I want to see your |
| 118s | fan art you know what better yet found |
| 120s | art ah quit my job |
| 121s | [Laughter] |
| 125s | like so why did you leave your last job |
| 128s | well let me just show you actually okay |
| 134s | anyway things are going well I I will do |
| 146s | so at work I will if they ask me about |
| 153s | it I'll definitely throw you into the |
| 154s | bus after twenty eighths coming and do |
| 157s | you want to tell us something about it |
| 159s | okay well yeah it's a lot of it is bug |
| 162s | fixes and performance improvements which |
| 163s | is great so I understand that some |
| 167s | people out there have noticed that there |
| 169s | are one or two performance issues on |
| 171s | 27th oh yeah I saw that on every 4th |
| 174s | communication we have that's it yeah |
| 176s | yeah I woke up in the morning and it was |
| 178s | just painted on my wall yeah there's |
| 183s | been some issues with that stuff which |
| 184s | we are working on have worked on so 28 |
| 188s | should have a bunch of improvements to |
| 190s | that stuff some but not all not all more |
| 193s | down the line I think it's gonna be |
| 196s | noticeable though I mean we we have |
| 198s | definitely heard the feedback from |
| 199s | people of being very upset about this I |
| 204s | really do want more feedback because I |
| 206s | want to keep hearing from our community |
| 207s | but I don't want people to think that we |
| 209s | don't care and hopefully they see like |
| 212s | we worked as quickly as we possibly |
| 213s | could after 27 to address on these |
| 215s | issues what was weird really weird is |
| 218s | that we weren't seeing almost any of |
| 220s | this stuff in the studio and we weren't |
| 222s | even seeing a lot of it on the pts so |
| 225s | something must have happened well we've |
| 227s | learned some lessons about how to test |
| 229s | around this stuff to do with because |
| 231s | obviously there are certain things that |
| 233s | you know being in being in Britain we |
| 237s | see different leads of people who are in |
| 238s | other parts of the world even though the |
| 240s | servers are in America there are still |
| 242s | sort of we are very generally high speed |
| 244s | internet here in the office so we have |
| 245s | to sort of manually throttle things to |
| 248s | test low speeds and latency and that |
| 250s | kind of thing so we've been putting some |
| 253s | work into improving how way were the |
| 255s | test that kind of stuff on the flip side |
| 256s | we didn't have somebody was running |
| 258s | faster |
| 259s | to cancel my issues with some beefy |
| 263s | computers I think people within the |
| 268s | community know a fella named atratus who |
| 270s | comes here kept telling us that his |
| 274s | frame rate was was terrible and it |
| 276s | turned out that this pc was way too |
| 279s | strong compared to our pcs in the office |
| 283s | we've got one compared to that so yeah |
| 287s | that was a little awkward so we're gonna |
| 289s | take a look at upgrading some of our |
| 290s | equipment realizing now that it we |
| 292s | didn't really think having two good |
| 293s | equipment could be an issue but yeah we |
| 296s | try to have quite a sort of even spread |
| 298s | of different equipment types in QA so |
| 302s | there's you know a range from from |
| 303s | really quite low and some reasonably |
| 306s | high-end machines there but yeah I mean |
| 307s | you certainly we've never we've never |
| 312s | tried to have this almost |
| 313s | balls-to-the-wall |
| 314s | break for QA because usually that you |
| 317s | know things run best on those sorts of |
| 319s | machines so what we'll do is we'll get |
| 320s | you know to 2080s |
| 324s | we'll sling them in there a couple of I |
| 328s | 9s yes got two processes why not no yeah |
| 330s | it's very CPU heavy game 300 gigabytes |
| 332s | of RAM yeah I mean and maybe like a |
| 336s | power supply that runs off of source 2 |
| 341s | yet want to send us your cells will use |
| 346s | those to power a new suite gaming rig we |
| 349s | also were we were gonna water cool it |
| 350s | but we just figured forget it this is |
| 352s | thrown in a pool yes and that way it's |
| 355s | all water weight it could be one of |
| 356s | those ones this in a fish tank lightest |
| 360s | tech tips today okay that's that's |
| 363s | really cool so unnecessary but really |
| 365s | cool well think about it think about the |
| 367s | benchmarks the sweet sweet benchmarks |
| 369s | you kick off that yeah but you wouldn't |
| 370s | to sit on a bench if it was under all |
| 372s | that oil can you imagine getting a crack |
| 374s | all that oil going everywhere but then |
| 379s | also consider this right on the flip |
| 381s | side |
| 381s | uh-huh say I'm you know downstairs I'm |
| 384s | you know I'm frying up some steaks right |
| 387s | and you know I just realized I'm out of |
| 390s | oil crap so what am I going to do I |
| 392s | don't know |
| 393s | if only you had a vat of it somewhere |
| 395s | okay straight up to my sweet game skim |
| 398s | off some oil it's definitely still fun |
| 400s | to eat splash it on the pan I don't that |
| 406s | is a benefit that's yeah that might be |
| 409s | the only benefit I don't even think you |
| 411s | get that much of a quality booster hey |
| 413s | you know what let's get back to topic so |
| 418s | stuff to talk about right yes |
| 421s | speaking of terrifying concepts |
| 424s | Halloween is around the corner |
| 426s | oh that's right happy when I came out to |
| 429s | England I didn't realize that people |
| 431s | outside of America really celebrated |
| 432s | Halloween |
| 433s | in the same way you guys know that's one |
| 436s | for the best |
| 437s | to be honest my Italian none I used to |
| 439s | get very annoyed their Halloween though |
| 440s | you're telling none none now is that |
| 443s | Grandma I mean is grandma okay yeah cool |
| 445s | she used to get she was absolutely |
| 447s | feeling about because she's less |
| 448s | religious festival right shouldn't be |
| 451s | about costumes and ghosts and all this |
| 453s | pagan stuff oh you're very upset what it |
| 456s | all the time what else is it well it's a |
| 458s | it's a festival that celebrates the the |
| 461s | people who've died and in the next life |
| 465s | Oh like Day of the Dead style yeah |
| 468s | Dia de los Muertos which is another sort |
| 470s | of compromised religious right yeah |
| 472s | which is sort of been cool compromised |
| 474s | compromised yeah no I mean there are |
| 478s | people out there who you know celebrate |
| 480s | it and it's it's all folklorist thing |
| 481s | that's become there isn't it well I |
| 483s | wouldn't say it's compromised it's it's |
| 484s | actually to two religions have evolved |
| 488s | into one I'm gonna say compromise what I |
| 491s | mean is like this the there's a lot of |
| 493s | sort of holistic overtones there's a |
| 496s | picture from the Mexican government to |
| 499s | to put more emphasis on it and to |
| 501s | publicize it more to make it more of a |
| 503s | tourist thing is that what Coco happened |
| 505s | a big movie I think it's been going on |
| 507s | probably that is so good I think that's |
| 509s | what we like grandpa and mango has been |
| 511s | deco it's a great and you know what I |
| 516s | got all of that information from a |
| 518s | podcast with Tim Schafer from four years |
| 520s | ago |
| 522s | he's a good guy good car it's actually |
| 525s | the reason I got a video |
| 526s | hey guy yeah we'll talk about that at a |
| 528s | different podcast okay let's talk about |
| 530s | the lack real quick listen okay yeah |
| 532s | yeah tell me about the lag I mean we |
| 535s | just I mean I sort of already said it we |
| 537s | are hearing you guys we are I mean I'm |
| 539s | sorry I don't know I can't speak right |
| 541s | but I'm sorry that you guys are Devin to |
| 542s | deal with this excuse me personally do |
| 545s | the logins yeah I just added 500 |
| 547s | milliseconds of latency to somebody's |
| 549s | choice to do anything yeah sometimes in |
| 552s | design you just try stuff out see if it |
| 553s | works that's true yeah no that's for you |
| 556s | but yeah you about to raid YouTube with |
| 559s | upset comments that's not what happened |
| 561s | we made a mistake in not testing it in |
| 564s | all the ways we could have I guess and |
| 566s | release something that we needed to |
| 568s | double back on and fix and we've now |
| 570s | done so unfortunately it was it |
| 573s | coincided with our big push to get new |
| 575s | players into the game so I think a lot |
| 576s | of people who tried it out the first |
| 578s | time gods the game and were like this |
| 580s | just isn't ready to play yet and on the |
| 583s | you know one of the nice things has come |
| 586s | out of this is we've seen even in the |
| 588s | negative reviews that we've received |
| 589s | we've seen a lot of people saying this |
| 592s | is a really cool idea for a game I |
| 593s | really like what's going on here but you |
| 596s | know I can't it doesn't run right now my |
| 598s | PC that sort of thing but it's nice to |
| 600s | have that people clearly see the vision |
| 603s | they clearly see that it's it's good |
| 605s | it's worth playing yeah we want to make |
| 608s | it they were very like a lot of the |
| 611s | negative reviews were quite positive and |
| 615s | the positive reviews were like reviews |
| 620s | were mixed both review both types of |
| 626s | reviews aware we're always like it's an |
| 629s | awesome it's an awesome concept love it |
| 631s | to bits for some people that would run |
| 633s | smoother and like and both types of |
| 635s | reviews would acknowledge as Kay there's |
| 636s | like right now and as we discussed on |
| 640s | the stream last week we've broken down |
| 645s | the different types of lag and oh yeah |
| 648s | that's right did we do a write up about |
| 649s | that yes we did and it was published in |
| 652s | the tech Tuesday awesome which is today |
| 655s | instantly so talking I'm talking about |
| 656s | right now yes |
| 660s | yeah so that's gonna be really helpful |
| 662s | for people trying to continue to report |
| 664s | different lag things right because |
| 665s | they're gonna be able to figure out |
| 666s | what's every words we need to hear |
| 669s | exactly everybody's been using lag as an |
| 671s | umbrella term and that's that kinda |
| 673s | doesn't really help us in a you know in |
| 677s | in in forms of a complaint |
| 679s | well it's laggy we how what exactly are |
| 683s | you saying because it helps us to |
| 684s | pinpoint yeah where to actually be |
| 686s | looking for the issues because you know |
| 688s | there's so many things that can cause |
| 690s | the thing that appears to be lag you |
| 694s | know the thing that that resembles in |
| 695s | every way lag that you would expect come |
| 697s | from one source might come from a |
| 699s | different source so like a couple of the |
| 701s | examples that solving gave on the stream |
| 704s | where so chests not being alright like |
| 706s | inventory taking a few seconds to |
| 708s | respond is one type of lag stuttering |
| 711s | within the world is another type of lag |
| 713s | and a K or a latency and then |
| 718s | client-side like is anything your |
| 720s | character is experiencing directly so |
| 722s | when your screen your view isn't turning |
| 726s | great and they all have solutions but |
| 729s | they're all different solutions and we |
| 731s | need to implement all those solutions |
| 732s | and investigate them separately so we |
| 735s | have more about that in the blog post or |
| 738s | you can re-watch the stream which is |
| 740s | hella informative we also discuss NPCs |
| 744s | and different creatures and how that |
| 746s | works because sylvain is actually from |
| 751s | his his background as npc design for |
| 753s | what Rossella yeah yeah a couple of |
| 755s | things - yeah worked on some really cool |
| 757s | peers who worked on black which is a bit |
| 759s | yeah not the most well known title but |
| 762s | one of the most well respected title is |
| 764s | that as such it was such a good shooter |
| 766s | yeah yeah it's the most sort of solid |
| 768s | especially for the time there's the most |
| 770s | sort of solid like tight feeling sheet |
| 771s | or they'd ever been I think I wonder |
| 773s | where there wasn't a sequel I'd I maybe |
| 776s | we could ask him maybe we should throw a |
| 781s | link to the stream underneath the |
| 783s | description great now we briefly touched |
| 786s | on Halloween but we didn't actually say |
| 788s | anything about what we're doing with |
| 789s | Halloween what we decided are we doing |
| 791s | this attention about there really |
| 795s | are you dressing up as first and |
| 797s | foremost well I'm trying to go as |
| 799s | waluigi but yeah like I mentioned I |
| 802s | don't have my costume yet but why not |
| 804s | Luigi |
| 805s | because I am tall and gangly and evil |
| 808s | next question currently in a green shirt |
| 813s | that's more of a more of a Luigi well |
| 817s | you know I think that there's probably |
| 819s | more to Luisi than the color shirt he |
| 821s | wears he's dead |
| 824s | full cannon like you guys saw and your |
| 833s | self Alfred well I'm currently homeless |
| 835s | so I don't have any costumes but then |
| 841s | here comes the skeleton Vanessa oh wait |
| 842s | I've never to put anything so I'll just |
| 848s | so I got places to sleep then just think |
| 851s | technically live in any of them if you |
| 854s | wanna be a skeleton I just have what |
| 874s | happened was it was gonna do this whole |
| 878s | thing with getting a new home and then |
| 880s | deal fell through now to think that |
| 884s | we're not paying no I have enough money |
| 889s | to buy a to buy a flat actually to buy |
| 891s | one yeah that's crazy |
| 892s | and so I'm trying to do that and they |
| 895s | sway let me well if there's one thing |
| 900s | that the people at home should take away |
| 902s | from this is that the that the law that |
| 905s | we have for buying properties in this |
| 907s | country is a mess so yeah basically no |
| 911s | weapon was the seller wanted to sell it |
| 912s | to me I wanted to buy it but there's a |
| 914s | guy who owns the walls called a |
| 916s | freeholder and he didn't want to do |
| 919s | anything about it he'd written some bad |
| 921s | paperwork so it was a bad idea to buy |
| 925s | trees |
| 927s | yes a Halloween is its gonna introduce a |
| 932s | couple new things it's one of our it |
| 936s | says it's a seasonal update it's it's |
| 938s | not meant to add in any huge new |
| 940s | features but one of the coolest things |
| 941s | going into it is we've added a new |
| 944s | recipe for cooking called the witch's |
| 947s | brew which you can craft of let's see if |
| 950s | I can remember |
| 951s | I think it's bear koi spices nor |
| 954s | conductive tissue neural something it |
| 957s | brains some sort of plant some sort of |
| 960s | brains right in and worms cool I |
| 964s | shouldn't have done this because my |
| 966s | camera what it actually is pumpkin maybe |
| 968s | - I don't remember |
| 973s | ratting pumpkins in and we're adding the |
| 976s | jack-o'-lantern yes a new ship part |
| 978s | where you can it's essentially like a |
| 981s | lamp but it's shaped like a |
| 981s | jack-o'-lantern also side note we tested |
| 984s | this out of the studio if you attached |
| 986s | Atlas lifters to the jack-o'-lanterns |
| 988s | it's the spookiest thing in the entire |
| 989s | game so doing that floods the caves with |
| 992s | them yeah make the game lag even worse |
| 994s | that's the cool thing though is the wall |
| 999s | I think one of the cool things is the |
| 1001s | witches brew which if you craft and |
| 1003s | drink it it changes some of the sound |
| 1006s | effects in the game for the duration of |
| 1008s | the of the buff so it lasts for about |
| 1010s | six minutes and I don't really want to |
| 1013s | say too much but hopefully people six |
| 1017s | minutes spooktacular and I hope people |
| 1022s | find it cool because it really what it |
| 1024s | was is for for us is a test to see if we |
| 1026s | can do things like that work we |
| 1028s | dynamically change some of the audio |
| 1030s | based on buffs and other things and do |
| 1033s | it worked that's really cool that you |
| 1035s | mentioned that because I'm pretty sure |
| 1036s | that there will be someone out there |
| 1038s | who's like but why are you fixing the |
| 1039s | thing yeah like it's it's a seasonal |
| 1043s | it's a seasonal little feature but it's |
| 1045s | also a learning curve for us of like |
| 1049s | what we can or cannot do with certain |
| 1051s | features right also a future we are |
| 1053s | including a ton of fixes in this update |
| 1055s | the whole even more so for 29 yeah but |
| 1058s | for 28 we have all the holo |
| 1060s | stuff plus all these fixes so fixes were |
| 1062s | the main focus up we've done in terms of |
| 1064s | the you know the items they're all |
| 1065s | reasonably quick and simple to do yeah |
| 1068s | so you know you've been working hard on |
| 1070s | it but it hasn't taken up a huge amount |
| 1071s | of code resource away from the |
| 1074s | optimizations our audio guy wasn't going |
| 1076s | to be doing a lot of fixing for |
| 1077s | optimization so we had a free resource - |
| 1080s | yeah I mean which once again today but |
| 1082s | you know what speaking of Ali just |
| 1089s | yesterday I was with Ali doing some |
| 1091s | recording for our |
| 1092s | marauder guitar I'm not going to say too |
| 1094s | much but I'm going to say that it |
| 1096s | absolutely rips rock super oh it's gonna |
| 1101s | sound good so when players played in the |
| 1104s | game they're gonna hear your anyway okay |
| 1106s | yes they will yeah though here my power |
| 1109s | cord |
| 1109s | this is loud loud power cords a little |
| 1112s | piece and you know what the guitar |
| 1114s | you're gonna hear is either going to be |
| 1115s | the Epiphone Nighthawk with a custom |
| 1118s | hand round bridge pickup or it's going |
| 1120s | to be a 1979 Yamaha Superfly tur 1000 |
| 1125s | well that's not a Stratocaster no it's |
| 1128s | not it's a Yamaha super flight a 1000 |
| 1131s | Superfly tur |
| 1132s | it's as if this game is about flying |
| 1134s | almost yeah it sounds like Harry |
| 1136s | Potter's first broomstick it does - |
| 1138s | think it's a rad as hell guitar older |
| 1142s | than me oh that's pretty cool |
| 1144s | Ally's got it down in the studio that's |
| 1146s | mine oh but it's my fuse you own it but |
| 1149s | it's all of the new yeah I didn't buy a |
| 1151s | new that's gone for Halloween and for |
| 1160s | the is there anything else going in for |
| 1162s | Halloween there's a couple of things |
| 1165s | yeah I mean the pumpkins the |
| 1166s | jack-o'-lantern we're adding another new |
| 1168s | food recipe that allows you to it's |
| 1171s | called pumpkin curry and allows you to |
| 1173s | delicious run faster and jump higher |
| 1176s | it's the first buff that we're putting |
| 1178s | into the game it has a dual effect it's |
| 1180s | actually totally o-p-s but it's a it's a |
| 1183s | Halloween only thing so something to |
| 1186s | mention with this update is we're at a |
| 1189s | certain point we're gonna shut off the |
| 1191s | Halloween items |
| 1192s | so those are seasonal right that's see |
| 1194s | that's the word I was looking for so |
| 1197s | those who can gather them now fantastic |
| 1200s | if you get a schematic for a Halloween |
| 1202s | item it will stay with you after we shut |
| 1206s | them off from the loot tables going |
| 1207s | forward but at a certain point you won't |
| 1209s | be able to loot them anymore so so hold |
| 1211s | those pumpkins if you can also use them |
| 1214s | think about this right you make a |
| 1215s | jack-o-lantern right somebody damages |
| 1217s | your jack-o'-lantern you need pumpkin to |
| 1219s | repair don't think the birds that is how |
| 1229s | it work have you tried that imagine this |
| 1239s | thing where you have like this sort of |
| 1240s | you know you extract a pumpkin from this |
| 1243s | thing and then you're like enjoy this |
| 1245s | battered one to go back to your home |
| 1248s | pumpkin yeah okay so yeah that's some of |
| 1253s | the cool stuff it's going there's also a |
| 1254s | new clothing item called the horns of |
| 1257s | olk it's creepy as heck it is creepy as |
| 1260s | it doesn't look like you're about to |
| 1262s | sacrifice a human I want to say is |
| 1265s | people hiding in dark places wearing |
| 1267s | this mask went yeah it's a view the eyes |
| 1270s | well I don't see too much but he talked |
| 1273s | about the eyes in the game see if you |
| 1275s | can find this schematic will drop as |
| 1277s | well as the actual item itself but if |
| 1278s | you get this schematic that means you |
| 1280s | can dye the cloth that is associated |
| 1282s | with it and which is a great segue into |
| 1286s | saying that there's also a new dye color |
| 1288s | pumpkin to orange that'll be found in |
| 1291s | loot ruins loot chests and luke |
| 1293s | containers for a limited time only and |
| 1296s | then after the holy an update I think |
| 1297s | we'll just take out the no just your |
| 1300s | it's it's a finite resource |
| 1302s | yeah right oh it should probably say we |
| 1304s | did I just took that in the Marauder |
| 1305s | guitar that's not coming in for 28 right |
| 1308s | it's just just yeah just yeah it's just |
| 1309s | cool it sound I'm excited about it just |
| 1312s | [Music] |
| 1313s | don't people get excited about it |
| 1315s | for makes up pay soon TM we don't have |
| 1318s | any animations for it yeah but that's ok |
| 1321s | because one of the discussion points is |
| 1324s | 28 and 20 |
| 1325s | what are the things that are ready or |
| 1328s | not ready what are the things that are |
| 1330s | going into 29 because we're still kind |
| 1332s | of working with that you're not feature |
| 1333s | locked yet no and won't be for a while |
| 1336s | so there's stuff that can still go in we |
| 1338s | just today finalized a list of all the |
| 1341s | features that we're putting over 29 I |
| 1342s | don't think we should say them no I mean |
| 1345s | because the thing is it's a list of all |
| 1347s | the things we're gonna try and get in |
| 1348s | for 29 right some of them are quite big |
| 1350s | some of them are small so it's safe to |
| 1352s | say that some of the smaller stuff will |
| 1353s | get in but it's hard to you know to know |
| 1356s | exactly what we're gonna get done |
| 1358s | basically we've just laid down this list |
| 1360s | and we're just gonna get as much of it |
| 1362s | as we can right we have three weeks so |
| 1365s | we're going to do as much as we can in |
| 1366s | three weeks and then we're gonna have to |
| 1369s | feature lock and are see it and test it |
| 1372s | test the hell out of it so yeah do as |
| 1375s | much as we can try to add some cool new |
| 1376s | stuff and we've got a pretty good plan |
| 1378s | but yeah we can't can't share specifics |
| 1381s | of it quite yet I can tell you that |
| 1384s | players are gonna be thrilled and I can |
| 1387s | also tell you about during if that's |
| 1400s | that's handed the dance there's one |
| 1407s | other thing I should mention there will |
| 1409s | not be a wipe for Twentynine yeah as far |
| 1412s | as we're aware right now there's no |
| 1413s | reason to do so yeah so we will not be |
| 1415s | wiping anytime soon hear that that's the |
| 1419s | crowds cheering yeah right hopefully yes |
| 1424s | that's what's going up for tonight yeah |
| 1427s | yeah I'm working on some some cool stuff |
| 1430s | for that and some medium stuff for that |
| 1433s | and so exciting yeah all that's bad for |
| 1436s | you guys yeah I tell you what actually |
| 1438s | there's one thing that um that could be |
| 1441s | useful for you guys for something I'm |
| 1444s | working on at the moment if you guys |
| 1445s | have any titles of books that you really |
| 1448s | like just like you know anything I |
| 1451s | thought just yeah leave them in the |
| 1453s | comments or even tweet them at me write |
| 1454s | my twitter handle be in the car I know |
| 1456s | one that I |
| 1457s | like vic viper RX mods and a couple of |
| 1461s | other community members are big fans off |
| 1463s | yeah what's that the storm light series |
| 1465s | the storm light series it's it's very |
| 1467s | apt for a world of drift actually okay |
| 1469s | yeah just because I'm doing some stuff |
| 1471s | that it requires sort of a bunch of semi |
| 1474s | generic book titles that say I'm not |
| 1478s | gonna be more specific than that but |
| 1479s | just sort of if there's any crowdfunding |
| 1481s | or crowdfunding crowdsourcing I could |
| 1483s | get for Ender's Game |
| 1484s | and this game cool okay Game of Thrones |
| 1490s | yes awesome |
| 1493s | that is pretty thrilling alright yeah |
| 1498s | yeah so should we move on to some |
| 1500s | questions from the community yeah yeah |
| 1502s | so the first one hears from negative |
| 1504s | ions it says what about doors where are |
| 1506s | the doors that we were shown in the |
| 1508s | Marauders cartoon yeah man a winky face |
| 1511s | yeah you guys folks at home can't see it |
| 1513s | but we're all winking right now you |
| 1519s | maybe you can't but I'm winking at the |
| 1521s | microphone anyway yeah so this is yeah |
| 1526s | we want to add doors to the game for |
| 1527s | sure but yeah I don't know maybe we |
| 1531s | shouldn't put that in the trailer |
| 1533s | people got most excited by this maybe |
| 1536s | weeds fire sized doors a little bit more |
| 1537s | yeah why they focus on that but maybe |
| 1541s | balls first or destructible ship frames |
| 1546s | or windows there's so many things in the |
| 1551s | trailer control they immediately I was |
| 1554s | there during the stream and people were |
| 1555s | immediately going bananas for doors yeah |
| 1558s | so it's not just the doors it the trap |
| 1560s | doors like the doors are some |
| 1564s | interesting there's a piece of law |
| 1565s | that's gonna go in about doors that it's |
| 1569s | not about doors but it is about |
| 1571s | intercepts and traps in it so I wonder |
| 1574s | if maybe we can get some of the traps |
| 1575s | that are in that law and see if we can |
| 1577s | figure out a way of implementing some of |
| 1578s | them at some point I don't know be |
| 1579s | exciting but know this this it's very |
| 1583s | interesting that isn't it yes just like |
| 1585s | the things that people won you can't |
| 1586s | necessarily predict water indoors or |
| 1589s | indoors here |
| 1590s | the there's a really good article about |
| 1593s | implementing doors and using doors as a |
| 1596s | this finally England is it |
| 1598s | I don't remember whose favorite those we |
| 1600s | put that video resource in the class |
| 1601s | okay should link to that as well yeah |
| 1603s | all right yeah it's it's a fascinating |
| 1605s | piece this was one that puts uses doors |
| 1608s | to describe every game developers title |
| 1611s | and job role that's them that's the one |
| 1612s | and then there's another one that talks |
| 1614s | about why doors are so complicated which |
| 1618s | isn't to say well do them but it's it's |
| 1619s | kind of a hilarious piece to think of |
| 1621s | like it's just a door hoping that closes |
| 1622s | why is that so hard yeah I mean don't we |
| 1624s | have island doors I suppose it would be |
| 1626s | everything is 50 times more difficult on |
| 1629s | a floating ship yeah there's my answer |
| 1633s | but the doors that we have on Islands |
| 1635s | there's no interaction with them |
| 1637s | necessarily that is open when people are |
| 1639s | near them so we could it's easy to do so |
| 1641s | my bad there needs to do something you |
| 1642s | have to interact with you know you go |
| 1645s | yeah that's the answer your question |
| 1647s | negative ions they're common there's |
| 1651s | quite a long one next-gen say initially |
| 1653s | thanks us for answering his previous |
| 1656s | question on the previous podcast and mal |
| 1659s | furred you're a great reader can you do |
| 1661s | this the whole okay yeah here's another |
| 1664s | question for you what are your thoughts |
| 1665s | on bouncing ship speed weight and armor |
| 1667s | are there any plans for this what I mean |
| 1669s | is some have suggested in the feedback |
| 1671s | forum that a small ship with a few good |
| 1673s | engines should be faster than a heavy 20 |
| 1675s | engine monstrosity there isn't much of a |
| 1677s | benefit currently to building big |
| 1679s | heavily armored ships because there |
| 1680s | isn't much get to gain in protection and |
| 1682s | it's not worth sacrificing with the |
| 1684s | speed they also isn't much of a costs |
| 1686s | are loading up tons of engines on |
| 1688s | nothing but a large frame thanks in |
| 1690s | large part to indestructible frames this |
| 1692s | is some of the reason why medium-sized |
| 1694s | box ships with minimum amount of |
| 1695s | paneling and the mass amount of engines |
| 1697s | is the current mess of a PvP it wins on |
| 1698s | all fronts protection maneuverability |
| 1700s | speed and firepower |
| 1701s | one of the ideas I saw involved giving |
| 1703s | pounds of boosting resilience for every |
| 1705s | other panel place next to it thus making |
| 1708s | a ship's Armour more interconnected once |
| 1710s | destructible flames frames are |
| 1712s | implemented detectable flames would be X |
| 1713s | and it's not always asking several |
| 1716s | frames are implemented this could also |
| 1717s | be incorporated and have a beat brave a |
| 1719s | play on this two more panels equals a |
| 1721s | bigger boost to frame resilience credit |
| 1723s | goes |
| 1723s | to @l whoops the idea for scaling ship |
| 1726s | size and armor yeah I took a look at |
| 1730s | this question before the podcast started |
| 1731s | and I was thinking about for a little |
| 1733s | bit and I don't think that the |
| 1735s | interconnected panels actually goes that |
| 1738s | far of a way balancing speed weight and |
| 1742s | armor it is a nice way to increase armor |
| 1745s | and is an interesting interaction but I |
| 1747s | don't think it will actually prevent |
| 1748s | players from continuing along the path |
| 1750s | that they're on I was still trying to |
| 1752s | make the fastest ship possible and |
| 1754s | because of how we calculate speed which |
| 1756s | is all physics based the more thrust |
| 1759s | you're producing the more speed you can |
| 1761s | get out of something that's similar |
| 1763s | weight to something that has hundreds |
| 1767s | it's just how it is right now how we're |
| 1771s | planning on balancing that in sort of a |
| 1774s | more roundabout way is with parts of |
| 1776s | overheat so if you have a ton of engines |
| 1779s | and they can't all be burning fast all |
| 1784s | the time you'll have to manage your heat |
| 1786s | and therefore even the fastest ships |
| 1788s | will have to slow down and and figure |
| 1791s | out how to best manage their heat and |
| 1795s | then after that is proximity heat which |
| 1798s | is if you have a bunch of engines on |
| 1801s | your ship and they're all so close to |
| 1803s | each other that they are radiating heat |
| 1805s | to each other they're gonna heat up |
| 1806s | faster than engines that are further |
| 1808s | apart and that on its own I think is |
| 1811s | going to change the ship met in a big |
| 1812s | way the the armor and the resilience and |
| 1816s | the panels and that not being a big |
| 1817s | boost and not being not feeling like |
| 1820s | there's a reason to build super heavy |
| 1822s | ships I think is I think there's two |
| 1826s | things there number one is sort of |
| 1828s | player preference I know that there are |
| 1830s | players who do play with big ships it's |
| 1832s | the players who want to min/max you know |
| 1835s | all of those speed think about so we get |
| 1837s | and all the resilience and all that |
| 1838s | stuff that choose to go the the |
| 1840s | mid-range box routes but there are |
| 1841s | definitely players who maybe they have a |
| 1844s | big crew and they want everybody have a |
| 1846s | role and they want to be able to fit a |
| 1848s | lot of booty in it they get over to the |
| 1851s | big ship and I don't know why I said I |
| 1854s | they get really big ship and they use |
| 1856s | that to fight and it's not that it |
| 1857s | doesn't work it's just a bigger target |
| 1859s | so the other thing that leads me into |
| 1862s | number two is that a smaller ship is |
| 1864s | harder to hit so as we move forward with |
| 1867s | some of the ideas that we have for |
| 1868s | combat which to be honest we haven't |
| 1870s | really talked that much about on the |
| 1872s | podcast things like I'm just gonna throw |
| 1875s | an example out here when it comes in |
| 1877s | it'll be big but I'm not I can't promise |
| 1879s | it'll come in any time particularly soon |
| 1881s | but the idea of being able to put |
| 1882s | harpoons on your ship connect to another |
| 1885s | ship and slow them down or drag them in |
| 1887s | that would be a much easier process if |
| 1890s | they are a lighter ship if they are yeah |
| 1894s | if there are a lot of ship that means |
| 1895s | you can drive them in a lot easier so by |
| 1897s | having a heavier ship you then combat |
| 1899s | the inherently combat the harpoons |
| 1902s | there's a lot of different factors that |
| 1904s | we can put into here to try and balance |
| 1906s | it out it's definitely something that |
| 1907s | that I in particular I'm trying to do |
| 1909s | and the design team as a whole has been |
| 1911s | talking about we're taking one step at a |
| 1914s | time and we are aware that everything |
| 1916s | that we change with ships sort of throws |
| 1920s | a big you know anything would change |
| 1921s | those a big spanner in the wrench and |
| 1923s | the workings who would can't talk the |
| 1925s | big spanner into the workings of |
| 1928s | currently active players and people who |
| 1930s | have spent so much of their time trying |
| 1932s | to figure out how ships work and our |
| 1934s | engines are calculating all that stuff |
| 1935s | so we want to be delicate with it we |
| 1937s | don't want to add everything in all at |
| 1938s | once we want to go slowly but it is |
| 1940s | something that we want to address and |
| 1941s | the interlock panel idea is interesting |
| 1944s | but I don't actually think it'll go that |
| 1946s | far to finding that right balance I hope |
| 1949s | that answers your question and if you |
| 1953s | want to talk about it further I'm on |
| 1954s | discord muster you can just write to me |
| 1960s | so yeah I don't take a I want board |
| 1963s | people who will listen as progress and |
| 1965s | don't care about this so interested |
| 1970s | enough on worlds adrift to listen to the |
| 1972s | dev podcast every no interested enough |
| 1975s | to hear someone talk about |
| 1981s | yeah fair enough |
| 1984s | well if they regard that said they do |
| 1985s | want to continue to talk to me about |
| 1987s | directly we can be chaired some more |
| 1988s | specific ideas on discord |
| 1990s | come find me or on Twitter come find me |
| 1992s | there too |
| 1994s | but it is something we want to address |
| 1995s | yeah okay I think that just about covers |
| 1998s | it for this week you guys think of |
| 2000s | anything else to say I could talk all |
| 2003s | day about stupid stuff no if you if you |
| 2009s | do have an interest like a hardcore |
| 2011s | interest in the game and you want to |
| 2012s | understand more about either why the lag |
| 2015s | is such a problem or why it's difficult |
| 2017s | for us to address some of the issues |
| 2018s | quickly the the podcast we did just once |
| 2022s | again the pockets we did a couple weeks |
| 2023s | ago with so Vaughn is implementable |
| 2024s | informative podcast stream Thank You the |
| 2027s | stream we did with Sivan is incredibly |
| 2031s | informative and helpful they na |
| 2032s | explaining some and it covers it covers |
| 2035s | I know that there will be a follow-up |
| 2036s | question to the PvP ships and it's like |
| 2039s | what about PvE elements and we talked a |
| 2042s | lot about that on the stream as well and |
| 2044s | it's it's not a gameplay stream you |
| 2046s | don't really need to watch it you can |
| 2048s | have it playing in the background and |
| 2049s | it's it's very very important yeah as to |
| 2053s | why certain things take long or what we |
| 2055s | are planning on doing or certain |
| 2058s | solutions for future animals and |
| 2060s | creatures in the game and ships and so |
| 2064s | on so forth so yeah do definitely check |
| 2066s | that out and I think that's that's about |
| 2070s | it for today all right shall we sign off |
| 2072s | then yeah that's all right cool well |
| 2075s | thanks for listening to episode 10 of |
| 2077s | the world's adrift podcast it means a |
| 2078s | lot to us that you're here listening to |
| 2080s | our voices will write the way to the end |
| 2083s | so if you did enjoy this please give us |
| 2086s | a rating on wherever you listen to your |
| 2088s | podcasts exaggerating yes we do accept |
| 2091s | ratings we accept them gladly and you |
| 2095s | can also get in touch with us at Worlds |
| 2096s | adrift comm forward slash wait no just |
| 2102s | come for such words adrift I'm trying to |
| 2104s | do this without reading it which was |
| 2106s | foolish it turns out today |
| 2108s | let's go in a second again welded riff |
| 2109s | calm there's forbs on there you can go |
| 2111s | to they're very good |
| 2112s | that wasn't written down on face food I |
| 2114s | compost as well as a drift on Twitter at |
| 2116s | Worlds a drift we're also in discord and |
| 2118s | all sorts of places really so please get |
| 2122s | in touch and tell us what you think yes |
| 2125s | the last thing I'll add to that is if |
| 2127s | you are enjoying the game at all not at |
| 2131s | all if you're enduring the game in now |
| 2132s | yeah sorry if you're enjoying the game |
| 2134s | enough that you want to tell people |
| 2135s | about it jump on to steam and throw us a |
| 2138s | positive review because that is |
| 2141s | incredibly beneficial to us and it would |
| 2143s | mean a lot yeah and if you hate the game |
| 2145s | stay away what do you like you I don't |
| 2157s | know anyway so thanks for listening you |
| 2162s | can find out whit sandals in the |
| 2163s | description so with that I have been |
| 2165s | malfete and my man or a master and I am |
| 2169s | Julia cool all right bye guys |
| 2176s | ah |
