Transcript[edit]

0:06 hey everybody happy Fridays this is
0:09 Varrick Mathu Anderssen community
0:12 manager here at portal area and on
0:14 Charlotte a petard
0:16 I always make these introductions really
0:18 official everybody knows who we are now
0:20 and I've got Christie Wolf Wolf that's
0:24 really confusing so we just probably
0:25 said feeble Zoobles fun yeah I think we
0:27 cleared that up the last time you were
0:29 on the the live stream here and this is
0:32 our weekly Friday community livestream
0:35 exclusive to the community we actually
0:37 need to do more community stuff which we
0:40 will probably next week actually we have
0:44 some things planned and then of course
0:45 release 43 is coming up or deep end of
0:48 release 42 right now but we have a lot
0:50 of really cool stuff to show you guys in
0:52 the next couple weeks as released 43
0:55 gets closer and closer including some
0:57 really cool artwork by the way by
0:59 Fletcher Kinnear one of our character
1:03 artists here at portal Aaron who is
1:05 putting some things into the weekly
1:07 update for you guys and I was working on
1:09 that just before this livestream kicked
1:11 in so I really would like to see what
1:14 you guys think of it because this is
1:16 something that we've done a little bit
1:17 differently including one piece that I
1:20 don't know if we've actually announced
1:22 just to the community the shroud of the
1:24 avatar the shit out itself the shroud
1:27 itself yet that is not cool we're not
1:29 talking about the game name at the
1:31 moment here but the shroud of the avatar
1:33 or the avatar shroud or however you can
1:36 say that that it's not confusing so the
1:38 shroud of the avatar for shroud of the
1:40 avatar is going to be in the game I
1:43 think it's released 43 is what we're
1:46 targeting but there's some other cool
1:47 stuff that he's also working on - that
1:49 one being the highlight Richard was
1:52 going to join us here he is deep into a
1:55 bunch of other stuff so I was just going
1:57 to go over a couple of quick things
1:58 a couple reminders we've had this
2:02 announced for a couple weeks now but the
2:04 seedinvest campaign has been something
2:07 that you guys have seen in emails over
2:09 the last couple weeks in social updates
2:11 and I expect most of the community knows
2:16 about it by now but it's something we're
2:18 very excited by
2:20 and usually Richard and others you know
2:22 jump on and talked about it including
2:24 you know trying to you know get other
2:27 ways I've reached out to the community
2:28 as much as possible to answer their
2:30 questions about things like our last
2:33 this past weeks Q&A webinar with
2:38 seedinvest itself they helped host a
2:40 webinar where we we were seeing a lot of
2:42 questions from the community on what
2:44 would it seem that so I understand
2:46 that's why how do you invest what is
2:49 investment mean what what are the you
2:53 know any concerns that they have and
2:54 clarifications in general so we
2:56 hopefully got to most your questions
2:59 there's I know there's an I know there's
3:01 some more to be answered in general in
3:03 the community we only had so much time
3:04 alone and I where I think it was but the
3:07 recording is now available we've
3:09 announced that or on social and on the
3:11 website you can check it out it'll be in
3:13 the weekly update and in the email of
3:15 the weekly update so if you want to
3:17 catch up on what Richard said he talks a
3:19 little bit about the company talks about
3:20 the game talks about where we're heading
3:22 with everything and gives you some some
3:25 good information is it's a solid
3:27 presentation it's not overly long I
3:29 actually want to say that his
3:30 presentation was about 20 minutes and
3:32 the rest was QA
3:35 let's see what other news we have well
3:39 you know we introduce you and
3:41 everybody's probably thinking what are
3:43 we going to show actually here I see
3:45 boats and water and the pretty cool
3:47 scene and now some of the what we're
3:49 going to show today is a team called
3:52 Celeste assess are we on the game right
3:53 okay so he's driving around on that
3:56 right now will I go off on the list of
3:59 news items here for you guys so we'll
4:01 get back to this celesta scene shortly
4:03 but if you want to also check out a
4:05 little bit more about it after this
4:07 livestream the weekly update has a
4:09 recent sneak peak video of the scene
4:12 that we put out on yesterday maybe what
4:16 it was yesterday yeah yesterday so it's
4:19 fresh still hot on YouTube check it out
4:21 there youtube.com slash portal areum and
4:24 we'll have more in the weekly update
4:26 regarding the scene as well so some
4:29 other news around seedinvest
4:32 actually we
4:33 have a reddit AMA with Richard Garriott
4:35 himself and probably star who's going to
4:38 be back in the offices this Monday we're
4:41 hoping that yeah he had a little bit of
4:43 a sickness and then vacation yeah and
4:48 then I pause there because I'm like I
4:50 guess it's a sickness or we recall it
4:53 but he is humanly very ill and then I
4:55 didn't keep it on vacation right he was
4:57 down for a couple weeks on that and went
5:00 on a bit well-deserved vacation so
5:01 anyway I've mentioned that last time but
5:04 he's going to be back next week so
5:05 you're gonna see posts by him and he is
5:08 also going to be participating in the
5:10 reddit AMA the details of the reddit ami
5:12 are on the front page of the website
5:13 it'll be in this weekly update coming
5:16 this Tuesday well I say this to you know
5:19 how many people I know that say you
5:22 gotta correct me when I say this Tuesday
5:25 and they're like what you mean yesterday
5:26 and I'm like no next next next week this
5:29 next whatever so the next the Tuesday
5:32 that hasn't arrived yet but will shortly
5:34 it's on reddit.com slash are slash we're
5:41 promoting it on soda underscore official
5:45 which a little clarification there from
5:47 what that means from slash are slash
5:50 throughout the Avatar subreddit Shradha
5:53 Avatar subreddit is the community
5:55 subreddit so where the anybody who wants
5:58 to talk about the game in general goes
6:00 to that subreddit community-controlled
6:02 they talk about all things seem best
6:05 game Richard Garriott star sometimes
6:10 they talk about me I find that it's too
6:12 certain I see no makes me feel good
6:14 always positive 100 percent positive and
6:17 other stuff too around the game so
6:20 that's the place to go and check it out
6:22 and hang out also there are a couple of
6:25 new sub reddits that I just saw one this
6:27 morning actually that was created that's
6:29 specific to the game now what I mean by
6:32 that is they don't talk about seed
6:33 investor the company or anything like
6:36 that it is specific to if you have like
6:39 a question about a scene or you want to
6:42 join others in PvP or something like
6:44 that
6:44 completely game focused no politics
6:48 knowing none of the other stuff and so
6:51 that's very cool so it's great to see
6:52 you guys create new sub reddits back to
6:55 soda underscore official the reason we
6:57 created that well that's been actually
6:58 created for a few years now I think it's
7:00 been four years since that sub ride has
7:02 actually been up and we just decided to
7:05 restart it because we saw that there was
7:07 a really kind of a lack of reach out to
7:10 the community yes we have been trying to
7:13 post in the communities subreddit or the
7:16 avatar
7:16 Chris Matt you use the other Chris Chris
7:21 speier's has been heavily involved in
7:23 there we post on the official portal
7:25 areum account and just try to get
7:28 involved but there's so much going on
7:30 there that we want to make sure that
7:32 when we are involved in something on
7:34 reddit it's more noticed and so the
7:38 subreddit soda underscore official SOT
7:41 Hagen is just the place for us to
7:44 organize news really
7:45 so it's announcing things like the
7:47 reddit AMA will the reddit AMA actually
7:50 take place on there we're looking at
7:52 having that actually on there we were
7:55 looking at working with the moderators
7:57 and community at large on the shroud of
8:00 the avatar subreddit to put it on there
8:02 but it's this is mostly going to be
8:05 focused on seedinvest yes we're going to
8:07 take questions about the game as well
8:09 but we we have a lot going on and we
8:11 want to make sure that nothing is missed
8:13 there and that it's focused does that
8:17 mean some more moderation yes that needs
8:19 a more in moderation but we can't have
8:21 it be completely chaotic and overtaking
8:24 and other stuff so just for this one I
8:27 think we're going to keep it focus - so
8:29 it official but we definitely want to
8:31 work with the moderators and the team
8:33 over at the subreddit sure the avatar
8:35 for other stuff so we'll have reddit AMA
8:38 is over there - don't worry about that
8:39 we're not looking to like drowned it out
8:43 and take it over or something that's
8:45 been rumors in the community so just
8:47 trying to organize you guys know me in
8:49 the forms organizing things left and
8:51 right all the time to make it easier for
8:52 you guys to find stuff so that's
8:54 the goal so enough of that let's see we
8:57 have one more announcement that I wanted
8:58 to put out there in an advance of the
9:00 weekly update Comic Con I have not
9:03 actually been to comic-con but I hear it

9:44 his space adventures and some other
9:46 things at Comic Con first and then that
9:49 will be followed up with a panel with

9:55 will have general details of what those
9:57 panels are the times in the location
10:00 there you have to be determined those
10:01 usually come a little bit closer to the
10:03 event so watch out for those if you get

11:11 Celeste as' all right so so what do you
11:15 what do you got for us we're gonna get
11:16 prizes the way to guys so stay tuned for
11:18 that but let's see what see will tends
11:20 to roll in here I'm going to start off
11:22 the beginning with just a disclaimer
11:23 this map is still being worked on so if
11:26 it looks unpolished it's because it is
11:27 looks really great to me yeah I only got
11:30 about another day to work on it if you
11:32 guys have any questions for Seawolf here
11:34 on this theme please ask them may be a
11:36 good thing to start with actually is
11:38 where is Phil Estes in so it's near like
11:42 right across the lake from salon yeah
11:44 it's in a perennial Coast area hence the
11:48 the sort of Asian deco and this is a not
11:55 a player around Elia 2-player not a
11:57 clear hometown guy run time a player run
11:59 town and it's also an NPC town there
12:02 currently aren't any NPC's here that are
12:04 noteworthy but according to loan there
12:07 there will be in the future
12:10 so yeah I'll start off this is kind of
12:12 the Townsend definitely a huge overhaul
12:16 from what it was before it was very flat
12:17 anytime I see something flat I like to
12:19 make it on flat I love the reality just
12:22 it gives you cool side lines just it's
12:26 just prettier it gives it more dynamics
12:28 and yeah why not just making things
12:29 vertical I mean I try to do that in my
12:31 house it's like pile stuff in corners
12:34 and sis better than so over here we have
12:36 a little market probably what would be
12:39 worn to vendors over here that'll be up
12:41 to Dan that's usually the last thing
12:43 play yeah all right and under yeah and
12:48 that would be somebody else doing that
12:49 but up here how to be cool to kind of
12:53 have a stage where players could you
12:56 know do plays or even have like a dance
12:58 floor and you can't may not be able to
13:01 see it
13:02 oh wow it's seamless almost seamless
13:05 right there is a trapdoor and I don't
13:08 have it working yet probably have it
13:09 working snowed on Monday but rides right
13:11 on its feet oh yeah right here you see
13:14 that scene right there yeah so that is
13:16 either going to be a trapdoor or an
13:18 elevator
13:18 and the idea I thought it would be cool
13:21 to have a chapter with Hutch suggested
13:22 maybe an elevator that way I think that
13:23 would be more use I think it should be a
13:25 spring launcher like step on it launches
13:27 you to somewhere I mean the idea is that
13:31 you know actors or whatever could enter
13:33 the stage through that or exit the stage
13:35 through you know the middle so that's
13:38 kind of cool for know or you know Kabuki
13:41 theater a lot of this is culturally it's
13:45 inspired by Japan you know I definitely
13:48 had Japan in mind when I when I place
13:50 the structures that the terrain is
13:54 inspired by the limestone mountains in
13:57 Japan which are in a park that I can I
14:01 can't pronounce the name I can't speak
14:03 Chinese so Japanese no no the terrain
14:06 the terrain is Chinese oh so I wanted to
14:09 go with the Knicks
14:10 oh oh that's culturally Japanese but I
14:14 wanted you know those kind of is higher
14:16 this tall amounts could make them too
14:18 tall
14:18 I would I would call them earth stuff
14:21 because like you know to call it calm
14:24 Ellen you know a anyway I'm getting into
14:28 philosophical stuff we nobody want to
14:30 hear about that right now we do have a
14:32 kind of a comment from Marin raucous
14:37 where did where did it go Baron you type
14:40 too much I lost it already
14:41 oh yes he says it should be a burning
14:46 pit of fire the trapped thing I think or
14:48 an ass and acid scorpions that are it's
14:54 a - acid or something it's not supposed
14:56 to be or maybe go trapdoor might be a
14:59 little misleading it's supposed to be a
15:02 tool that you know people can use if
15:06 they want to roleplay a play or they
15:10 just want to mess with people that are
15:11 dancing I don't know
15:13 so over here I have a little Zen garden
15:15 Rob girl we put this in a Utica screech
15:18 out of this for the weekly update yeah
15:19 yeah so I created this little are you
15:21 supposed to smell mom laughs and you're
15:23 probably messing it up yeah you know it
15:24 should be but we don't you walk
15:26 don't have footprints yet but there you
15:28 go cross my fingers one day okay so yeah
15:32 you're supposed to go on the pad over
15:35 here we have a little koi garden or koi
15:37 pond two frogs and things like that you
15:40 know frogs and I think we have frogs no
15:42 I have yeah we don't have frogs but yeah
15:45 there's some koi in there can kind of
15:46 see them floating kind of inactive any
15:48 that crank their speed up a little bit
15:50 sort of lazy sending Gardens so people
15:53 are asking I want to then garden maybe
15:54 for their castle water or all the way
15:58 down to non-role probably would fit
16:01 whatever that would be cool also not my
16:03 department
16:04 so I either even possible this is all
16:07 this is all dreaming from people who
16:11 don't decide these things yeah how about
16:14 we get some prizes away sure should
16:16 throw some in there so we've got the
16:20 list of three items we got just so you
16:23 guys know and I'll let Seawolf your pick
16:25 two leather guard armor so love the
16:30 guard armor in the these are all by the
16:31 way items found in the add-on store so
16:35 you go to the website main menu all the
16:37 way to the right store click go down to

19:30 exclamation cloak guys and then we will
19:33 award those I hope that whoever lives
19:39 here like this it's actually a available
19:42 lot yeah Wow I think this is a lord of
19:44 the manor I'm correct looks like a lord
19:48 tells me to I'm going back for a moment
19:51 this scene ever
19:53 buddy can check out the scene in the
19:54 game but it's still a clone scene for
19:57 them yeah so you're working on uncoiling
19:59 in it polishing it up making it look
20:01 like the perennial closed area of the
20:03 game which is just a starting area of
20:05 the game where you start basically of
20:07 your new player you'll be able to visit
20:09 this scene pretty comedians on which
20:12 which questions you be yeah and so
20:15 either we have these spaces for Lots and
20:19 houses to be placed are they available
20:22 in the current scene or is it like is
20:25 there houses there now and then I don't
20:27 know they're there probably I assume
20:29 that they're all purchase is you I don't
20:33 know if anybody's built anything yeah
20:34 see that what we the reason I mentioned
20:36 it is what we try to do when we unclean
20:39 scenes there's a lot of scenes that are
20:41 have kind of a generic copy to them so
20:45 that we can get some other basic things
20:47 and as we develop the game because the
20:48 game is still in early access and all we
20:50 make it making tremendous progress on
20:52 getting those cloned scenes unclosed
20:56 unique with a style to those areas
20:58 quests MVC's and lots and if there is a
21:03 scene that's clone that has lots in it
21:05 already you have a nice house you have
21:07 that lord of the manor house and you're
21:09 wondering what okay I heard the scene is
21:11 going to be on cloned of what happens to
21:15 my house nothing happens to the house
21:17 because we don't really touch those lot
21:22 areas we decorate and move in adjust
21:25 things around them and because that's
21:27 the general land you yeah and I also try
21:30 hard not to you know change anybody's
21:33 view cuz I know a lot of people will
21:36 pick a place you know specifically
21:38 because it has a nice view so if
21:41 anything I'll try to improve the view
21:43 that a you know the stuff that we try to
21:46 take in consideration sometimes if I
21:49 notice that like a lot is placed in an
21:53 awkward area that's sort of difficult to
21:55 get to I'll make it easier to get to
21:57 like this lot for instance there's a lot
21:59 up here this trail was here before but
22:01 there's no trail on the front on the
22:03 front side which is closest to the town
22:05 center
22:06 if I met the right lot man thinking else
22:08 is still real quick so I added a little
22:13 trail to it I'm gonna run with this one
22:18 so I added a little trailer here just to
22:21 make it easier you know for them to
22:25 travel you know either way just little
22:28 things like that you know what I try to
22:30 you know help players out in that regard
22:32 and you do me a favor click on Chrome
22:36 sure we don't know what's going to pop
22:39 up here so okay you guys can see it
22:41 that's good drag that over to the left
22:45 of excellent we're doing some
22:47 post-production some production work

24:18 one of these days I'm going to troll
24:20 them and I'm going to go yeah we got all
24:22 these items to give away and then we
24:24 don't give anything away it's not one of
24:26 those you guys I don't know why I would
24:28 do that like why why do trolls do
24:31 anything like that that's a good
24:33 question so we've already seen this area
24:37 so I will go something else the town
24:41 center crows interesting spot there
24:43 there are so you guys know there are
24:46 five Easter eggs throughout this map I
24:50 turn them off so that I don't
24:51 accidentally show them but they're all
24:53 sort of cultural references to basically
24:57 old Japanese samurai selects to your
25:00 Kurosawa fan or guys that you'll you'll
25:02 probably recognize some of these things
25:05 also I got to give a shout out to
25:07 Fletcher for helping me with that for
25:08 some of the hour
25:09 I can't say any more than that well he
25:14 didn't want to give too much away but he
25:16 created some kind of cool to players not
25:18 just stuff that not the character stuff
25:20 that were showing weak no no no it's not
25:22 care to relate well it's yeah it's not
25:25 that I see a path going up there did you
25:29 show that already like there's a yeah I
25:31 can show the go to you I don't know
25:32 where doesn't I'm just I'm as curious as
25:34 they are because I guys I don't get to
25:37 see the scenes in this detail usually
25:41 until we show it on livestream so these
25:44 guys are working on it furiously over
25:45 the week or the last few weeks but
25:48 touching it up usually on the last week
25:50 before we show it to you guys and so
25:52 it's just exciting to see those changes
25:54 yes we'll go to I might actually make
25:56 this bigger so it's a little bit more
25:58 instead it really dominates the the
26:02 horizon but got secona in here still
26:07 working progress it didn't have closure
26:08 this so I'm not going to go over there
26:10 triangles I can show you there's a
26:12 couple of koi ponds I did revamp one of
26:14 the waterfalls and come take a look at
26:16 that real fast
26:17 oh yeah oh there's those castles again
26:18 oh that's a cape I think right I keep
26:22 the other ones Catholic and so on it's
26:23 Isaac Lee for your wonderful what's that
26:27 behind it
26:29 return turn yeah oh this is just a lot
26:32 that you purchased and it becomes nine
26:34 and sell water a lot yeah so water lots
26:36 or two of it I remember where my
26:39 waterfall is maybe they dried out where
26:42 here it is here here okay
26:45 this should look a little nicer the last
26:47 one was a kind of hard to see I'm going
26:51 to put some koi in here to you I think
26:55 the treasure like they're like a von der
26:57 the waterfall no nothing that alive this
26:59 is an adventure scene so well you know
27:02 there are the Easter egg that you can
27:04 kind of look for and if you're a fan of
27:06 old samalex epic you like that and if
27:09 you're not then you should go watch them
27:11 and then you will be how old as course I
27:17 was 60s I think a clown and so they're
27:20 good movies but so the number more
27:23 recent like thought to be cheese for
27:25 using whatsapp about like a book they
27:31 play from the scene somewhere maybe
27:33 under the waterfall but that won't make
27:35 any sense but somewhere else and it has
27:38 like a list of like of course I'm going
27:41 to do that but you know like hints of
27:42 like yeah let's do some stuff I don't
27:45 know you know a secret book I like
27:47 reading huh yeah well we do use water
27:49 falls as secrets to death in other words
27:52 we were constantly using that side of
27:54 death secrets that was a confusing
27:56 sentence right what I mean is that we
27:58 often use waterfalls as secret you know
28:02 points of interest so I try not to use
28:04 that too much because we have Mac I
28:08 don't want every single waterfall to
28:11 have a secret yeah yeah that make sense
28:16 kind of loses the impact so sure Macklin
28:21 notes says we should where do they go we
28:26 should give away wishing well that
28:28 actually gives anything of value yes
28:30 that's that's an interesting idea
28:33 so basically you but you get a wishing
28:35 well and then you can get whatever
28:37 you want the games professionally just
28:39 keep clicking on it and out pops some
28:41 random stuff I like the idea of
28:43 randomness I do have to say that so
28:45 maybe if it was random that'd be pretty
28:46 cool like you could get a random thing
28:51 yeah unusually plot summer you'd have
28:54 character what I'm going to use is
28:55 different
28:56 sure as fast as you can click the
29:02 Wishing Well of books all pops tons and
29:04 tons of books that haven't been written
29:05 yet so that you can actually that you've
29:06 written them in until because I haven't
29:10 really shown the horror yet it's like
29:11 let's go buy another set of prizes
29:13 everybody we've got two sets up okay
29:18 let's do the leather garter leather
29:20 guard alright and this is also again in
29:24 the store so you can check it out see
29:26 what well in this case it's just the
29:28 leather guard armor so this is the not
29:30 your choice choice we've given away two
29:33 of these type exclamation armor in these
29:36 are discord or twitch if you want to win
29:38 one of those I should we need to take
29:43 more time on these and I need to set up
29:45 the game with these items so that we can
29:48 show it off in the game it's a really
29:50 cool armor and I didn't think of that
29:51 until just now yeah well you know we did
29:53 have him set up with the shroud earlier
29:55 but somebody killed the Hanalei
29:59 inheritor so it's not on his character
30:01 anymore yeah I mean I don't worry I have
30:03 it I don't have anything flop is empty
30:09 care drink it might be bored behind on
30:11 board - can't you go to decoration
30:16 station you know I could I don't know if
30:19 I don't know where it is I mean I have
30:21 to look for it I don't know if we have
30:23 that you want to show we can't make it
30:24 in oh look do we have anything else to
30:25 show we'll finish showing this stuff
30:27 often and I'm just curious so let's see
30:29 if we can find it
30:36 yeah we added a little Oracle can't
30:41 think of the word right now confirmatory
30:43 sure how building at request that things
30:48 at lungs request that we do yeah so
30:50 little could be nice for players
30:52 yeah the harbor here is really nice yeah
30:55 it still has to be properly and I had
30:57 created make it look like people
30:58 actually do things here but yeah I
31:01 wanted it to be a major update and the
31:04 other part was a little underwhelming so
31:09 you guys have any questions let us know
31:13 one more minute for exclamation armor
31:16 the English or I should say the United
31:21 Kingdom English that version of armor
31:24 does I clogged one but it may not catch
31:27 in our system here armoire is definitely
31:29 not right so make sure you set bail at a
31:32 RM o our for to catch
31:36 otherwise you may not get into the spin
31:39 of win it's pretty much it I'm going to
31:45 showed most of the highlights no 0 I'll
31:48 review of the math we've got a big
31:50 changes in terms of terrain in terms of
31:52 obviously the architecture but also the
31:54 vegetation you know going for someone
31:56 swampy ER feel but also not not too
31:59 swampy i this is supposed to be sort of
32:01 the nice community like the gated
32:05 communities close that add the entire
32:10 location not that one if that one just
32:12 close that on the corner you know other
32:15 down yep okay so yeah lots more you know
32:22 lots of bamboo a couple cherry blossom
32:24 trees any sort of these things are
32:27 called Banyan's or something but they
32:29 kind of remind me of weeping willows
32:31 even though they're not weeping those
32:33 weak yeah oh really this is the nice you
32:37 said not really an adventure scene but
32:39 it we really venture just walking three
32:41 yeah I want to make it interesting at
32:44 least yeah I want people to want to live
32:45 here so I want to live back this is cool
32:48 thank you so
32:50 I'm going to scoot over to the other
32:52 scene yeah let's do it
32:54 why don't you go over there I am given
32:56 well we have a question exit before I
32:57 give away those prizes question from
32:59 crazy Phil nothing to do with your theme
33:04 sorry I don't think any way is north
33:08 Lloyd on schedule forum : soon that that
33:10 is a good question that is a star
33:12 cluster that is a star question that is
33:14 that is the one question in the universe
33:16 we can't actually answer I'm sorry it is
33:19 probably going to be I assume at some
33:22 point I mean if you know every all the
33:24 clone scenes are on schedule to be on
33:26 cologne but I couldn't tell you in what
33:28 orders there we'll get them on Friday
33:31 make sure you join in for the livestream
33:33 next Friday same time and we'll get star
33:37 in here and ask your question now send

33:46 make sure he gets Jen well we have our
33:49 42 here wouldn't be under there would it
33:52 no that's our an hour 43 chest I don't
33:55 see one so this is they may not have
33:58 moved it in there yet turn around
33:59 sometimes he throws it in like over
34:01 there nebula night racing so this is our
34:04 what we call decoration station at a
34:06 test scene if you will where we can
34:08 create all the items that are created
34:11 can be placed here we can test them all
34:13 make sure they work and also use them to
34:16 take screenshots for the updates and
34:19 such and it looks like that's just the
34:23 regular leather guard armor but
34:24 something is on our loading tool chest
34:27 that's weird well it don't want in our
34:31 43 chests I don't know where it see what
34:35 it looks like
34:37 this is not the armor this is that oh
34:40 okay no no but let's get a good look at
34:44 it because this actually this is armor

35:44 of some of that yeah there's a code that
35:48 we can use if we knew the code but we
35:50 don't know the code so that doesn't help
35:52 all right well there you go we try yeah
35:55 we try sometimes takes you know two more
35:59 days to get stuff for us in there before

36:48 what you won what I just mentioned and
36:51 that what your code name is so that we
36:55 can remember so that when I'm screaming
36:57 out of here at the end of the livestream
36:58 it don't forget although it may take a
37:01 couple of days we usually you know maybe
37:03 if we proceed to Thursday we get bill
37:06 items to them by Friday but you know
37:09 it's usually pretty late for us to do it
37:11 before the weekend
37:12 so we'll have that to you Monday to
37:15 today soon as possible there you go
37:17 Congrats guys very exciting some cool
37:19 stuff I don't even have a load of the
37:21 guard it's like all the stuff we give
37:22 away I never like I don't have in the
37:23 game because I try not to like you know
37:25 it's better
37:26 why do I get to cheat well you know
37:28 unless I'm representing and showing you
37:30 know I'm not going to bike start
37:31 hoarding on my order all right what else
37:35 we have one more set of prizes sigil set
37:39 of your choice that was confusing sigil
37:41 set go to the add-on store front page
37:44 you'll see all the sets of residuals
37:46 very cool both walls and floor
37:50 decorations where we going - back -
37:55 solicitous sounds good again you don't
37:57 have to look at deco station right yes
37:59 we as much as there is for decoration in
38:03 deco station we don't have a lot of you
38:07 know it's just throw wherever you can
38:09 find it I'm going to go once you just
38:11 keep walking around I'm going to go
38:12 check with Rick see if there's a code to
38:14 get that trial the avatar see we can
38:17 show that to the community here hunger
38:33 so some of the feedback I got on this
38:35 level was something that I really want
38:38 to see which is junks or spam chemicals
38:43 of asian-inspired so loved it loved to
38:48 have some to put in this hardware
38:49 unfortunately to your head right now I
38:52 think we go perfectly here so all the
39:00 same NPCs will be here all the same
39:06 resources and things like that this is
39:09 actually going to be the crafting
39:10 Pavillion so you'll still have a
39:12 crafting pavilion for those that live
39:13 here they can may be concerned about
39:15 that kind of thing you still have your
39:17 bank your tavern fact this is going to
39:20 be the tavern right here I'm not sure
39:23 that makes going to go ahead probably
39:24 our building so I didn't bring the
39:35 shroud but I brought somebody else
39:41 all right way back here yeah well you
39:44 had this table set what I think was you
39:46 that had to set for the Tech Talk and I
39:49 thought you know what that's actually
39:51 not a bad idea because they don't have
39:52 to turn the darn thing every time the
39:54 only problem is the cables are super
39:56 short or to the computer to the monitor
39:59 here so we need to like 20-foot DVI and
40:02
20-foot power cables without take care
40:04 of it or even 10 feet where you guys
40:07 going to live over arguing yeah we're
40:10 live now Hey yeah we're walking around
40:14 so let's just the unclean scene here and
40:18 get away some prizes nothing you want to
40:22 get away you're sure yeah we'll ship it
40:25 there sunglass me get some extras okay
40:28 this will be a tavern when I've done a
40:30 bit on the decorating gear and the other
40:34 thing people should be noting here is
40:36 the silky smooth frame rate and
40:39 performin oh yeah that's right I heard
40:41 someone else tweaking that I just
40:43 actually just now
40:44 yet another one that will be in the next
40:46 bill that probably not even on this bill
40:48 so we're going from like 30 frames per
40:51 second to like anybody that's a 200
40:53 Hertz monitor right that'll work oh yeah
40:55 okay cool just so people know we were I
40:59 actually downgraded my video card to a
41:03 task top from the QA department which
41:07 was a AMD 460 which is like it's a
41:13 fairly new card but it's like the bottom
41:15 end and is it's a give you an idea of
41:19 how weak it is it does not have a power
41:24 attachment like you don't have to do the
41:26 extra power it gets all this power from
41:27 the PCI slot so it's been a long time
41:31 since I've seen one of those but I was
41:33 testing in arters today I'm still
41:35 getting after my changes what's getting
41:37 up in the 50 frames a second greige
41:40 gonna be awesome you know we've made a
41:43 lot of progress with the performance and
41:45 you know it's it does get slow when
41:48 there's a lot of characters on the scene
41:50 at one time or no really so that's
41:53 parties are gonna be better
41:54 it'll be better it'll be better yeah the
41:56 characters did not get much touching
41:58 this time just so people know so high
42:00 character scenes will probably still
42:03 have some performance issues but they
42:06 should have a lot more read before they
42:08 start getting bad it will be much better
42:09 well people want you're like why you
42:12 know why isn't this game as silky smooth
42:15 hundred frames per second or even 60 as
42:18 other games and you know there's for one
42:22 this is an MMO with a lot of stuff in it
42:24 but even so there's like you know we're
42:27 in development it takes a long time
42:29 another way about it might be a negative
42:31 attention exactly why our game isn't as
42:34 smooth as other games I am a comment on
42:37 it like I'm disrupted don't shoot the
42:39 messenger now our game is so slow look
42:42 at this is so smooth are not MLM talk
42:44 about yeah it's doing good that actually
42:46 should be much better than actually the
42:48 I just fixed an inch or an issue that
42:51 all those trees that you see or we're
42:53 not instancing until just
42:56 ago and that is a massive performance
42:58 difference on the CPU which is really
43:00 where we needed for you I think we have
43:02 somebody else hello in just you know
43:08 what I owe everything so I think they
43:10 yeah I could probably see it was a
43:12 Richard Garriott's on his robot from
43:15 where you are now
43:16 New York New York
43:19 so communicates regularly one out he is
43:22 not here right at portal area because he
43:25 I think you work boy you put in a lot
43:28 years for for everybody through or daily
43:31 hours a day working with just about
43:34 everybody at the company constantly to
43:35 look at all I never said whenever a lot
43:39 Lobby you guys doing the only dream to
43:40 meet another port employee that I live
43:42 in a robot body well you think you know
43:44 I'm a huge negative I must say of you
43:47 scrolling around what the robot is you
43:49 don't get our wonderful Friday claw
43:51 cheese that was Brooklyn I'm looking at
43:53 work hard I can trying to figure out
43:55 that technology to really want them
43:57 figured out about teleporting I'm
44:02 watching the chat and some of that skin
44:04 is this smoothness on live and no this
44:06 will be in the next release which is two
44:11 weeks from yesterday so you got you got
44:15 to wait two weeks and again we should
44:17 see we're not claiming it's perfect but
44:20 we have made huge leaps and bounds on
44:22 performance considering we just did it
44:24 this one release and we also got tons of
44:26 other text so basically they should
44:27 notice a difference they should notice a
44:29 significant difference especially gentle
44:32 on Lauren and what I me I'm one of the
44:33 frontline testers is some of you know
44:35 and I came out for the sampling on them
44:38 already and I've been shocked at how
44:41 speedily have been able to get in and
44:43 out of a variety of what used to be
44:45 pretty painful maps and and also the
44:49 smoothness been moving around is to
44:51 dramatically improve so anyway I hope
44:53 you guys alike
44:54 far fewer hitters we're still having a
44:57 problem with pretty loading shaders so
44:59 there's still going to be some pitching
45:01 but we've picked a number
45:02 the bigger pinching issues that we used
45:05 to have so it'll be better it's not
45:08 going to be perfect again this is will
45:10 be a big jump but don't think that we
45:12 really yeah well you know although with
45:15 performance we can point out it's one of
45:18 the things we pretty much try to improve
45:19 every single release isn't it I know
45:21 some way in some way
45:22 now here's I wanted to be negative we
45:25 normally just shovel more and more crap
45:27 into the end of the bag and then that
45:29 resets our progress players upper yeah
45:32 so you guys are wondering why do I only
45:34 have what is the limit on external
45:36 lights for a house well we raise that
45:38 limit at some point and then performance
45:40 goes back to what it was before and in
45:42 that cycle rinses are repeat so that's
45:45 why if we gave you more lights we gave
45:47 me more things at once it if we would
45:50 not be happy with it as much as
45:51 decorating limitations kick in right
45:53 away so there you go now we're in the
45:56 zanga where you go is then out here in
45:57 fact I'm ready for a Zen weekend tinges
45:59 or meditate is there meditate evil I
46:03 don't know but there's some other yoga
46:06 morning yeah there's other there you go
46:08 look at that don't get sand in your
46:12 shorts all right let's give away that
46:17 last set of prizes sigil said if your
46:20 choice right that's the last one I
46:21 missed yeah it's awesome right so we've
46:24 got to schedule sets if you want to see
46:26 what we're talking about with sigil sets
46:28 there's several in the add-on store of
46:30 the Sequoias main website all the way to
46:32 the right of the main menu store click
46:34 on that click on add-on in the drop-down
46:36 and the front page of that what loads
46:39 you'll see a bunch of sigil sets pick
46:43 your choice which one you want and let
46:46 us know on disk or torch which type well
46:52 you guys once again a head of 8 here
46:55 this is great you guys chose correctly
46:57 exclamation sigil
46:58 so if you want to win one type that will
47:02 give it a minute walk around a little
47:04 bit more here and we'll don't let me
47:07 forget we will to actually pick two
47:10 winners before we log off okay why have
47:13 you done this but I have
47:16 okay he's just keeping them for himself
47:36 so how long does it take to get from one
47:41 side of the island to the other
47:42 maybe clocked in a second I have not
47:44 clocked it in science the terrible game
47:47 designer reason if it was easy to you
47:52 you would be maybe a terrible game
47:53 designer if it was that easy to actually
47:55 like yep it's 15 seconds or well that
47:58 would be really trying to try to figure
47:59 that out well I know it's about I think
48:01 it's about 800 meters across it wouldn't
48:03 be very dynamic if you had to like if
48:05 you were very consistent on that like
48:06 you want to really said you like to
48:08 heighten the twists and turns and stuff
48:10 so I don't want to know where the other
48:13 side is frankly I want to have a little
48:15 mystery there at least the first time
48:16 walk it through
48:18 counting entrances are in the scene well
48:22 it's an island so there's no gates
48:24 infinity okay so you can exit anywhere I
48:28 think the entrance though is the there's
48:35 a boat teleport but yeah that makes my
48:37 coming see you basically come in from
48:39 all over and you can act at the heart of
48:42 the whole but I'm pretty sure if you
48:44 swim out far enough there should be exit
48:46 I haven't placed those yet but I'm
48:49 pretty sure the previous designer didn't
48:51 put an invisible wall there yeah I would
48:53 hope yeah you got some did we show the
48:58 world houses they're the ones on the
49:00 left on the left over the hill through
49:02 the woods through the that way we showed
49:06 that right though the building oh yeah
49:09 those just some row houses there's there
49:11 right next to the town centre
49:12 oh right yeah so the row houses are the
49:17 well for the first level of being able o
49:20 at home so we're all houses are the
49:22 smallest yeah and we have a agen variant
49:26 of this so if you live here don't be a
49:29 jerk take your house to asian-style area
49:31 I don't already got to be consistent
49:34 it's an it's not an HOA if it still yeah
49:37 we don't have a choice
49:39 alright so let's give away those two
49:41 vigils settle sets we have one going to
49:45 rut so rut some new
49:47 and so lazier congratulations to you
49:51 both for winning a sigil set message me
49:54 barek if you're in discord I think it
49:56 looks like both are in discord on this
49:58 one let me know what you won which one
50:01 you want and your company a floating Zen
50:08 garden would be sweet like slowly bow
50:10 says yeah it just floats around or
50:12 something like I could see that for you
50:15 can we can actually like a shark fall
50:16 I'm not allowed to make floating things
50:18 in this beautiful well yeah because it
50:20 has to do with the short fall magic that
50:21 makes rocks float I could well add some
50:24 rocks at the bottom of the Zener boy
50:26 then Gardens have rocks usually anyway
50:28 don't they right right I think your
50:30 donkey meter like a I don't these I
50:33 don't think he needs floating on the
50:34 water I think he needs a coating in here
50:36 yeah it's floating with the rocks I'm
50:39 sitting in right or what you say kind of
50:40 rocks yeah you've seen em soon the
50:43 shortfall price neon rocks yeah yeah
50:45 yeah I can't add short full stuff in
50:47 here not a lot so the answer is yes we
50:51 can do that too they'll yell at me
50:52 whether it happens not our call yes but
50:56 a lot of possibilities but that's the
50:58 one thing with the game development is
50:59 we kind of series note here we get a lot
51:03 of feedback from you guys and try our
51:05 best to evaluate what can we do here
51:08 trying to remain you know consistent
51:11 especially if you know something's been
51:13 planned for a while does it can we still
51:16 do it is it possible from you know
51:18 that's a feature that was suggested a
51:20 while back
51:22 but you know this is complicated game
51:24 and things don't always it's like a
51:26 puzzle you know it doesn't always fit
51:28 perfectly when the pieces you know are
51:31 not always determined right away yeah I
51:34 don't know that I always call do
51:36 terrible and oh sweet maybe that's okay
51:38 7 anyway there you go all right so I
51:44 think while we take a rest stop at one
51:46 of the somewhere wherever you want to
51:48 leave off here and then we will depart
51:51 for the weekend we hope you guys are
51:53 enjoying the game and having fun and
