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 9:05 f is amazing today so I ever believe I 9:09 have not been to one yet either this 9:10 thing the cause a million inventions but 9:12 I've never been oh yeah there's new TV 9:15 shows that are being announced and all 9:17 sorts of crazy stuff including including 9:19 I'm not just saying that because I'm 9:21 excited about Comic Con Richard Garriott 9:23 and star long are both going to be there 9:24 they're going to be there what was the 9:26 date July 20th to 23rd 9:28 so which comic-con is San Diego okay 9:31 yeah the the main want to get one real 9:33 cutting on me bitch comic-con San Diego 9:36 International I think is less called so 9:38 we're gonna have to I think they're 9:40 panels so Richard will actually Richard 9:42 I think is speaking a little bit about 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 9:51 Richard Starr and I believe there might 9:54 be somebody else but the weekly update 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 10:04 a chance to go to comic-con first 10:07 congratulations second I want to see 10:09 some really crazy photos that you take 10:11 there but we'll cover those panels and 10:14 give you some details of what they 10:16 talked about I think they may be 10:18 recorded if they are we'll have those in 10:20 the recordings and a weekly update as 10:23 well so very cool on that I didn't write 10:27 it in here but again SOTA Khan is coming 10:30 up this fall I believe the dates I 10:33 didn't write those down either obviously 10:35 October 13 through 15 somebody yell at 10:37 me if that's wrong so check out the 10:39 website the weekly update has the 10:40 calendar for that as well and we're 10:42 really excited about so to come because 10:44 it's here in Austin and I want to 10:46 mention that each time on this community 10:48 livestream because not everybody watches 10:50 it if you're just you know catching up 10:51 on your eating you're a new player and 10:54 you're wondering you know hey I want to 10:55 meet Richard I want to meet Starr I want 10:56 to talk to the team I wanna see what 10:58 Barracks up to and hang out with them 11:00 for a day or two 11:01 well Shotokan the the next thing to do 11:04 that was so we're very excited to have 11:05 that in Austin 11:06 going to get some tours of the studio 11:08 and just hang out with you guys it's 11:09 going to be really a lot of fun 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

another round 18:54 that came in over the last few days of 18:56 people asking where's my prize I haven't 18:59 received my prize and maybe we're not 19:01 doing that great of job with the 19:03 hecticness of the telethon announcing 19:06 that you need to please let us know if 19:08 you like these details are so you can 19:11 win a prize please do that if you 19:12 haven't received a yet and you haven't 19:14 actually talked to us yet if I've said 19:16 yes this coming will then just you know 19:18 please be patient we've already talked 19:19 with you but sometimes these do take a 19:22 while partly for that reason and we 19:24 apologize for that but prizes are on the 19:27 way I give it another minute 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

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

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 34:49 that is in maybe do a slew or something 34:52 you know face the Sun and then you 34:54 okay salute this armor is one of the 34:57 armor sets that Fletcher is working on 34:59 and I believe since it's an hour for you 35:02

message short of the avatar with 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

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 51:56 released 42 as Chris 51:58 popped in for a second to mention 51:59 release 43 is coming out 52:01 in just
