 10:03 appropriate and then that following
 10:05 Friday we will reveal the winners on
 10:07 that community livestream the reason we
 10:10 extended it a week was because of the
 10:13 jacket yeah so the craftable
 10:16 jack-o'-lantern and the previous year's
 10:19 jack-o'-lanterns had an issue with them
 10:22 that we thought we'd fixed but we
 10:25 unfortunately hadn't fixed where they
 10:28 can't be placed outside so because of
 10:30 that bug which isn't going to be fixed
 10:32 to our release goes live next week we
 10:34 decided to extend the contest so those
 10:37 of you who want to use those
 10:38 jack-o'-lanterns are able to use them
 10:41 contest yeah so that's there's already a
 10:45 lot of submissions that have have been
 10:47 coming into the submission thread on the

 11:29 up to the events this weekend in
 11:32 something interesting so there's a lot
 11:34 of going on for all of you guys there
 11:36 and I think that concludes our community
 11:38 news segment I know we went into a
 11:41 little bit of your other stuff there but
 11:42 yeah and so let's see the stuff to talk
 11:46 about I'll try and keep it short so
 11:48 Hutchins come on and show you the
 11:50 amazing stuff he's been working on let's
 11:52 see so so diccon happened last weekend
 11:55 and it was incredible so this was our
 11:59 first so we we've actually had two SOTA
 12:01 cons the first one was in Baltimore last
 12:04 year but this was our first Civic on
 12:06 here in Austin and it was amazing and we
 12:11 had a lot of fun we had a bunch of
 12:13 panels and what was really great about
 12:15 it was because it was in Austin the
 12:18 entire team was able to participate and
 12:21 the entire team was able to give panels
 12:23 we had two days of panels and it was so
 12:27 usually at these things it's you know
 12:30 just me and Richard because that's kind
 12:32 of though we we can only afford to send
 12:34 so many people to events like Dragon Con
 12:36 or you know GDC or things like that but
 12:40 because it was here in Austin the entire
 12:42 team got to go the entire team got to
 12:44 get panels so the actual world builders
 12:47 got to give panels about world building
 12:49 that you know the story guys got to give
 12:53 up panels about story the QA team got to
 12:55 give panels about QA we didn't talk
 12:57 about astronomy for a while there and
 12:58 I'm really cool stuff it was it was
 13:03 really just really really really
 13:04 incredible and just reinforced what an
 13:07 incredible credible community because
 13:08 the community organized and ran this
 13:10 whole thing and they did an amazing job
 13:13 economically because one of their goals
 13:16 for the con was that they were gonna do
 13:19 a really good job economically and give
 13:22 money back to the project and they did
 13:24 so between the funds raised for the con
 13:30 and a drawing that they did during the
 13:32 con they were able to and after all
 13:36 expenses were paid for
 13:37 for the hotel and catering all that
 13:39 stuff it's they manage to send back nine
 13:45 hundred dollars to the project so it was
 13:46 amazing
 13:48 it was really really really really
 13:49 really great and I can't wait for next
 13:52 year it's gonna be a yearly thing and
 13:54 we're gonna be posted an update in the
 13:57 weekly update today but it was really
 14:00 really really really an amazing time so
 14:03 loved loved getting to participate
 14:06 getting to meet some new there were some
 14:08 community members that I had met before
 14:10 but I got to meet a lot of new community
 14:13 members as well and yeah quite a few new
 14:15 ones and we had several take photos so
 14:18 if you happen to have been to soda Con
 14:19 there is a forum thread with the
 14:23 community posting their own photos and
 14:25 even videos I hear at some point so
 14:27 we'll be watching that and you know
 14:29 sharing more of those but yeah the
 14:30 weekly update has something let's see we
 14:34 had our released 46 telethon right
 14:37 before so diccon literally the day
 14:39 before so the carded and it was
 14:42 incredibly successful like our you know
 14:45 so we moved to a monthly format for our
 14:48 telephones and you know we were a little
 14:51 nervous to see how that's gonna go so
 14:52 far it's been incredibly successful you
 14:55 know both from the amount of interaction
 14:58 we're getting with you guys you know
 15:00 doing four hours every month so we get
 15:02 to spend a lot more time answering
 15:03 questions every month and from what
 15:06 amount of funds raised it's great I mean
 15:08 we raised $80,000 I really think it was
 15:11 because you know you guys really wanted
 15:13 that nightmare mount and what was
 15:15 amazing was you guys organized ahead of
 15:19 time and you set that goal that you
 15:21 really wanted to reach $80,000 so you
 15:23 could get the nightmare amount so okay
 15:27 we have to stop now because I keep
 15:28 seeing everyone asking about my risk
 15:30 okay so this is a handmade bracelet that
 15:35 my sister-in-law gave me from it's an
 15:38 artist in Lafayette Louisiana who makes
 15:41 metal and leather works and so that's
 15:44 it's copper and weather so there you go
 15:48 all right now you guys can stop talking
 15:51 my wrist alright so thank you thank you
 15:55 thank you for another amazing telethon
 15:56 it was fantastic and speaking of the
 15:58 telethon we answer as many questions as
 16:01 we could and then afterwards
 16:05 yesterday I managed to finish off with
 16:08 some help from Chris and B and other
 16:10 team members managed to answer all the
 16:12 missing questions that we didn't get to
 16:13 in the telethon as we do every time and
 16:16 those are now posted in the forum so if
 16:18 you didn't get your question answered
 16:21 then that's now answered and posted in
 16:24 the forums and but we just fit it feels
 16:28 like we just finished 46 and now we're
 16:29 doing 47 so 47 is coming next week
 16:32 it's already on QA so thank you
 16:34 everybody who's jumped on QA and already
 16:35 started testing you can get a sneak peek
 16:38 in to see what's gonna be coming in next
 16:41 release there's a lot of really cool
 16:44 stuff coming in next release so we've
 16:47 got three new scenes we've been doing a
 16:49 ton of polish on the story there's a
 16:52 bunch of new side quests coming in so
 16:53 it's really really getting fleshed out
 16:55 as you move through the story there's
 16:58 lots of little interesting little side
 16:59 quests you can take now we're just gonna
 17:02 continue adding those as well we've done
 17:04 a ton of optimizations on load times you
 17:07 know we you know our first goal was to
 17:09 try and get load times around 30 seconds
 17:10 we still had some outliers of scenes
 17:14 that were a little bit of 30 seconds
 17:16 maybe even some that we're still around
 17:18 40 now we've got everything 30 or below
 17:24 and and our goal is to get down to 15
 17:27 and so we've got a bunch of scenes now
 17:28 down to 15 because we did a major
 17:29 optimization to AI this this time around
 17:32 so we're getting we're getting closer to
 17:34 the goal so it's it's amazing and we've
 17:37 started adding some unique components so
 17:41 there's open bowstrings and elven hilts
 17:43 so if you salvage some elven bows and
 17:47 elven swords you can get these unique
 17:50 components and the what we've done to
 17:54 support that we've increased the rate
 17:58 that you get patterns out of Salvage so
 18:00 that's kind of a synergistic effect
 18:01 there and there's going to be some new
 18:04 facts as well so that's just a that's
 18:07 just a sample and plus some holiday
 18:10 content and telefon content and seaton
 18:13 best content so there's a there's a
 18:17 bunch of new stuff coming in so but I
 18:20 for me one of the most exciting ones was
 18:22 upping the percent chance that you're
 18:23 gonna get patterns out of salvaged
 18:24 because one of the things we saw was
 18:27 that you know we looked at the data and
 18:30 we wanted patterns to be rare but they
 18:33 we went a little too far they are
 18:35 incredibly rare like no one no one's
 18:38 really doing Salvage because it's you
 18:40 know it's it's just the amount of item
 18:42 you know the amount of gear that you
 18:44 have to get to get a pattern out of them
 18:46 just wasn't wasn't worth it so we've
 18:49 upped that percent we're gonna see if
 18:51 that percent is enough if it's not once
 18:54 we look at the data will up it again but
 18:56 it's gonna get better let's see
 19:01 soda BAP Oh huge announcement we made
 19:03 this week as well so soda map is now
 19:08 official part of the project we we've
 19:12 been in discussions with Jacob white and
 19:15 we have acquired soda map it is now part
 19:20 of the project we will be incorporating
 19:22 it optimizing it and adding features to
 19:25 it now as an official feature of shroud
 19:28 of the avatar so thank you thank you
 19:31 thank you thank you thank you Jacob
 19:32 thank you community everyone who worked
 19:34 on the project with them it is a great
 19:38 great great feat great application it
 19:43 makes playing the game better people
 19:45 want to know where that they want to
 19:46 where they need to go next and so having
 19:48 a map in the game and having maps having
 19:51 a tool that the community participated
 19:54 in creating is start started in creating
 19:57 in the term of Jacob creating this and
 19:59 then the community elsewhere
 20:01 contributing and and some of that I
 20:05 think as I understand it when we get it
 20:07 all finalized here integrated and set up
 20:11 possible opportunities for the community
 20:13 to still be involved yeah absolutely so
 20:15 just like we've done crowds
 20:17 in the past anyone who's contributed to
 20:21 making maps or assisting with that in
 20:23 the past we're gonna open that back up
 20:25 again and we're actually gonna offer
 20:28 bounties for that like we've done in the
 20:30 past with other crowdsourcing stuff like
 20:32 we've done for music and art and things
 20:33 like that so stay tuned for more
 20:35 information about that yeah I think I
 20:37 actually am tasked with that
 20:39 announcement so yeah yeah so it's it's
 20:42 gonna it's gonna be great so we're
 20:44 really really it's and it's going to run
 20:46 much better we're gonna be moving it to
 20:48 an Amazon Web Services instance so it's
 20:51 gonna load much much much much faster
 20:54 than it has and that's just in phase one
 20:58 and phase two will be doing further
 21:02 optimizations that's gonna be but that's
 21:04 not going to be until the beginning of
 21:06 next year but in the beginning of next
 21:07 year we'll be optimizing it further and
 21:10 we'll doing be doing caching a lot of
 21:12 that data locally in fact in offline
 21:15 mode it'll all be cached locally so it
 21:17 can run in offline so this is a month
 21:19 long like this can be for the
 21:22 foreseeable future that we're gonna be
 21:23 improving this making it better yeah I
 21:25 mean it's a six month long yeah so
 21:27 process but this but you can read it all
 21:30 about in the post and look at the
 21:32 different phases alright just a couple
 21:34 more things to mention right now we have
 21:38 a couple of bonuses running so cyber
 21:44 monday running through cyber monday
 21:46 which is a november 27th any purchase
 21:49 you can you make you'll get a bonus of
 21:53 crowns you can read about that on the
 21:55 website and this weekend we are our sale
 22:01 is all about the trees because we we put
 22:05 the reaper in this release you know the
 22:08 tree creature which we affectionately
 22:12 called the tree cur for a while so but
 22:15 no it's called the reaper so in honor of
 22:18 that all the trees and the bushes and
 22:20 the cacti all the plants all the things
 22:23 that the reaper protects those are all
 22:25 on sale this weekend including the make
 22:29 a difference yeah all the Autism
 22:31 Awareness
 22:31 trees stuff too too so that's all that's
 22:35 all on sale this weekend and so and I
 22:38 see some people mention mentioning you
 22:40 know we think we've been addressing load
 22:42 times but they're talking about hitching
 22:43 and other performance stuff so as soon
 22:45 as we get the load times down that's our
 22:47 next priority is to get client frame
 22:49 rate and hitching so we're gonna get it
 22:52 to it but first we're getting our load
 22:54 times down and then we'll get teaching
 22:56 although some of the optimizations we've
 22:58 made to AI this release should help with
 23:00 with some of the hitching issues not all
 23:02 of them but some of them so we have
 23:04 another community question here Chris
 23:07 pallid yeah does your Salvage skill make
 23:09 a difference in pattern drop numbers yes
 23:11 it does absolutely so the higher your
 23:14 salvage guild the higher percent and so
 23:16 the percentage change that we made this
 23:17 release affects both effect it changed
 23:21 the percentage rate across the board at
 23:25 lower levels and at higher levels okay
 23:27 all right I'll go get hutch yes awesome
 23:31 thank you all right how about we get
 23:35 away one of those prizes we have the
 23:38 ornate prison cage the Viking merchant

 25:58 a lot of these items are there's
 26:00 craftable versions in the game yeah for

 27:11 anything like that I'm just going to be
 27:12 showing the visual aspect of the the
 27:15 completed Oracle temple room this is
 27:18 something that has been a very very long
 27:22 time in the making and I'll kind of get
 27:24 into a little bit of the history of that
 27:26 if which hopefully you guys will find
 27:30 interesting but yeah major spoilers if

 27:42 warning all right so I think we have it
 27:45 ready to go we're going to I actually
 27:47 was going to add another scene button
 27:50 here on on our system to allow you guys
 27:54 to more smoothly see the transition from
 27:57 our full screen to unity didn't get a
 28:01 chance quite to do that so we're just
 28:03 going to do kind of a manual little
 28:06 shrink down here which is once again the
 28:10 wrong thing before we actually go into

 28:21 quite yet but there's other things I can
 28:22 show oh I had a show and most of this is
 28:25 has already been seen it's some concept
 28:29 art shots from updates and things like
 28:34 that I just want to sort of talk about
 28:36 you know how we ended up where we are
 28:39 now with the Oracle temple and all the
 28:40 things that were made all along the way
 28:43 so some of these things that you're
 28:45 going to show now have been shown in the
 28:49 past in the game for years in some cases
 28:51 you know things like the Oracle Watchers
 28:52 and things like that but you know I want
 28:54 to talk about the you know the visual
 28:57 development of the Oracle temple and as
 28:59 part of doing that I want
 29:01 I want to sort of go back and do a
 29:03 little history okay okay so we have
 29:05 before we unveil it at the end so so we

 31:14 front just like I'll got we're back clue
 31:17 that okay let me let me shrink us down
 31:19 no that's a screen again I always do
 31:21 that every time this is why we need that
 31:23 extra button I was talking about don't
 31:25 worry we will improve that process I
 31:28 think this is more nobody cares about
 31:29 what's going on over here I think this
 31:35 is this large as we can make it yeah
 31:38 that's that's great
 31:39 okay there you go yeah so like I said a
 31:42 lot of these are just gonna be concept
 31:43 piece is a concept art that were made
 31:45 and a lot of work in progress shots that
 31:49 have been taken over the years you know
 31:53 as we're getting close to the release of
 31:56 our forty seven one of our major goals
 31:58 for our forty-seven was to was to
 32:01 complete the Oracle temple room and that
 32:03 that involved tying up some of the loose
 32:05 ends that that were existing a lot of
 32:08 visual effects a lot of room props and
 32:12 animations that were missing and so as I
 32:15 as we started preparing for this release
 32:19 I started thinking back and looking back
 32:22 at sort of how we got here and realizing
 32:27 that this scene the Oracle temple scene
 32:30 probably more than any other in the game
 32:32 has involved the contributions of
 32:37 virtually everybody on the team everyone
 32:39 doing their part because it's not just
 32:43 that one temple room that that we're
 32:45 talking about it's all the other things
 32:46 that sort of lead into it a temple room
 32:50 itself did require you know did take a
 32:52 lot of different individuals to to
 32:56 contribute to it to complete it but so
 32:59 is it is it because this is a little
 33:02 side damage and I suppose but I'm
 33:04 curious on the design of it and as we'll
 33:07 see it later the are we talking with
 33:10 size as the time being considered oh
 33:13 it's actually it's actually a very small
 33:15 room it's a very visit it was always
 33:18 intended to be an intimate encounter
 33:20 with the the Oracle herself a private
 33:23 audience
 33:26 you know we didn't so it had to be its
 33:28 own scene instance because it's just you
 33:31 and the Oracle at the end and so this
 33:37 the room itself is about it will it's
 33:40 actually the exact same size as what you
 33:44 would expect the interior to be based on
 33:47 the exterior of that temple building
 33:49 that you can see in central Brittany so
 33:53 it's a small space but the the level of
 33:57 finish on it and the level of interest
 34:00 in it is right up there with any of the
 34:04 other things that we've done there's
 34:05 there's a lot of really cool things in
 34:07 there that required a lot of different
 34:08 people to to help make very cool by the
 34:13 way everybody if you have a question for
 34:15 hutch here and we're walking you through
 34:17 then please message you can post it in
 34:20 twitch or shroud of the avatars discord
 34:25 Channel and we'll try to get to that I'm
 34:27 manually monitored so I may miss it
 34:30 we're not as aggressive on the questions
 34:32 here is we usually are on the telephones
 34:35 so apologies if we miss it you can
 34:37 always message hutch in the forums after
 34:39 the live stream if you didn't get your
 34:41 your question answered he's popping in
 34:43 there and often for posting things right
 34:48 so okay so you know like like anything
 34:53 else you know something like this always
 34:56 just starts with an idea you know in the
 34:58 idea of course started with Lord British
 35:00 Himself creating this this world and
 35:04 these characters and this sort of
 35:06 omniscient Oracle figure who is keeping
 35:11 tabs on on what everybody in new
 35:14 Britannia is doing watching everybody
 35:16 watching everyone you know through the
 35:18 through the eyes her eyes on the ground
 35:21 are the little watchers the little
 35:24 spider creatures and little fly
 35:26 creatures that you're going to see in
 35:28 the game in cities and in Crossroads and
 35:33 they're everywhere everywhere they're
 35:35 watching you yeah so it's a little
 35:37 creepy it's a little
 35:39 big brother but that's part of that's
 35:43 part of what the Oracle is it's meant to
 35:46 be sort of a and you're supposed to have
 35:51 a feeling of money's like you're being
 35:53 watched because you are so you know it
 35:59 started with the idea and the idea of
 36:00 was was Richard Richard's idea over time
 36:07 he developed you know all the lore that
 36:11 goes into the Oracle herself the minions
 36:17 the little Oracle Watchers we're talking
 36:19 about the Watchers and menus and things
 36:20 I don't know actually what the
 36:22 screenshot is that's coming up next year
 36:24 but do we have others - yeah we do so
 36:26 this is what you see on the screen here
 36:29 is some very early visual development
 36:31 that was done by our concept artist
 36:33 Stephen Denali and this was him working
 36:36 with Richard to develop the sort of the
 36:41 initial appearance of the Oracle
 36:44 you know heavily influenced probably by
 36:47 the Morea the metropolis robot in there
 36:51 were the robotropolis unquestionably
 36:55 influenced by that but our very first
 37:01 glimpse of anything related to the
 37:03 Oracle in the game now this is going way
 37:04 way back this is December of 2013 this
 37:07 is original screenshot you see yes Paris
 37:10 are from what the game looked like back
 37:12 in 2013
 37:13 okay so just for you know context here
 37:16 everybody some of these because we're
 37:17 going through the history here of the
 37:19 Oracle this screenshot is over four
 37:21 years old so this is not current yes
 37:24 right that's right so yeah we'll get
 37:25 there we'll get there but this is what
 37:27 you see here this Oracle statue head
 37:30 relic was actually one of the first if
 37:35 not the first item in this family of
 37:38 things related to the Oracle in shroud
 37:42 of the avatar this was a statue prop
 37:47 that was made by
 37:49 former team member named J Weichmann and
 37:52 again this was four years ago the next
 37:55 things that we started working on were
 37:59 the Oracle Watchers this again is a
 38:03 concept piece of concept art by Steven
 38:05 dinelli these things were brought into
 38:08 the game shortly after that first Oracle
 38:11 statue had was made they were brought
 38:13 into the game I think in February of
 38:19 2013 so just a couple months later after
 38:21 that first that first teaser that you
 38:25 got with the Oracle statue had they were
 38:30 created by our character artist Isaac
 38:35 oyster who's who has moved on to a
 38:37 different company but also Kevin wells
 38:39 our very own Kevin Wells who was still
 38:42 here and still cranking out great art he
 38:45 also he made the Oracle fly while Isaac
 38:47 made the Oracle spider and these things
 38:49 are kind of the first indicator these
 38:53 are the kind of the first mechanical
 38:55 things you encounter and try the avatar
 38:57 they and they sort of were one of the
 39:00 initial indicators that you know there's
 39:02 something different about new Britannia
 39:04 it's and it's a mystery that is going to
 39:09 would be unfolding over time now they
 39:14 they were initially brought into the
 39:17 game I think probably in release three
 39:19 that's how back three Wow that's about
 39:21 everybody how far back we're talking you
 39:25 know a little bit later you know
 39:27 probably five months after that you know
 39:30 we started working on some of the other
 39:32 things you know and you know our
 39:34 production method isn't that we you know
 39:37 just tackles one thing and just do it
 39:38 all at once you know we we have to you
 39:41 know think about what when is the right
 39:44 time to work on something and so create
 39:48 you know getting the the Oracle watchers
 39:50 in the game was a good first step in
 39:52 getting something unique into the game
 39:54 that was uniquely shroud of the avatar
 39:55 and sort of helped establish you know
 40:00 create a benchmark for what
 40:02 you know further development is going to
 40:04 be you know a few months later we
 40:07 started working on some of the Oracle
 40:10 architecture and at least these are all
 40:12 it was a concept art that Steven came up
 40:15 with working with Richard know this we
 40:18 have I see here labeled the ruins and
 40:21 the shrine and the shrine is very well
 40:23 known by the community they well mostly
 40:25 you know many of the community members
 40:27 that have played did a story have you
 40:30 know come across these buildings or
 40:32 maybe called monuments or I don't know -
 40:35 but buildings the shrine is well known
 40:38 and has been included in several of the
 40:40 trailers that the community has created
 40:42 so it's definitely one that's
 40:44 distinctive building yeah you're gonna
 40:46 see this throughout the lands of new
 40:49 Britannia as as we continue to expand
 40:53 into other areas past novia and hidden
 40:56 veil but you know you're gonna find
 40:59 these in major cities and also some some
 41:02 small smaller remote towns and this is
 41:06 they were originally created as you know
 41:11 almost like confessional chambers okay
 41:14 maybe we can zoom in on that zoom in on
 41:16 this guy that'd give them a little bit
 41:18 of mouse wheel doesn't work yeah there
 41:20 we go
 41:20 so hopefully you guys can see that so
 41:23 this is initial concept art of what the
 41:25 interior would look like and you wasn't
 41:26 you you'll get your first sort of look
 41:29 at what the Oracle in the confirmatory
 41:33 was meant to look like you know it was
 41:35 supposed to be a you know basically just
 41:38 her face we reserved the the full-body
 41:44 version in all of its glory for the for
 41:47 the finale
 41:48 I see also even right there is I see a
 41:52 watcher watching whoever enters the
 41:56 though there's a couple yeah there's a
 41:58 few yeah there's one climbing out of
 42:01 here so so you can see how you know
 42:02 Steven when he was developing these
 42:05 items he thought about not only what
 42:09 they would look like but how they worked
 42:11 together and the fact that they belong
 42:14 together
 42:15 and so it became really important for us
 42:17 to make sure that you know what we did
 42:20 looked like it was it existed in the
 42:23 same family of objects and that it all
 42:25 belonged together and so here's a shot
 42:30 of the interior again Oh in about let me
 42:36 see if I can find it here you know with
 42:40 release eight now we're talking about
 42:42 July of 2014 we're getting up there and
 42:45 right now we're in what really this one
 42:47 place 46 so don't don't worry this isn't
 42:49 gonna take all we're not going to yeah 8
 42:51 - 9 - all the way to 46 okay release 8
 42:54 you know we started development on the
 42:58 architecture you know we already had
 43:00 sort of a glimpse of what the Oracle
 43:02 might look like in the game through that
 43:04 statue head and we had the watchers and
 43:06 they are already walking around the game
 43:08 and people had been experiencing them
 43:09 for a few releases now we got to the
 43:14 point where we needed to introduce the
 43:17 Oracle herself in the in the context of
 43:20 the Oracle confirmatory which is the
 43:22 small version and again it was
 43:26 originally called the Oracle affirmation
 43:29 shrine but it became known as the Oracle
 43:32 confirmatory later this is what you'll
 43:35 see in the game this was the first model
 43:37 that we made for the Oracle confirmatory
 43:41 based this is Bob Cooksey working on it
 43:44 and I did I did a little bit of work on
 43:48 some other aspects of it as well so it
 43:50 was kind of a collaboration but this is
 43:54 the the building that we made based off
 43:59 of Steventon Ellie's artwork yeah
 44:01 somebody asked
 44:01 oh it's ambereen amber rain ask is that
 44:06 dinelli's work this looks like Denalis
 44:08 work hi I'm brain oh yes it is this is
 44:11 Steven dinelli's concept art and you're
 44:13 gonna see a lot of that through here I
 44:19 tend to murder people's names so that's
 44:21 the 3d asset that we that we average
 44:23 that we initially
 44:28 the first place that we put it was an
 44:30 artery saying it stands there to this
 44:32 day to this day still there so you got a
 44:35 little bit more let's give away another
 44:37 prize to keep that going good idea we
 44:39 got two more we'll give away one right
 44:41 now and then one at the end and don't
 44:43 forget we got the Twitter Prize 2017
 44:45 spooky decoration repack just tweet out
 44:47 something about the game at Charlie
 44:50 avatar shrine of avatar because the
 44:52 thought it's not in the app part because
 44:54 Twitter has a character limit and or
 44:58 hashtag lbs OTA and do that on a weekly
 45:02 basis or do that whenever you have
 45:04 something to share
 45:05 like cool screenshot of your adventures
 45:07 the game because I watch that I'm the
 45:09 community manager here and I watch their
 45:11 social channels for any cool stuff that
 45:12 you guys are putting on will retweet it
 45:14 perhaps don't always have to do that all
 45:17 right we have the ornate prison cage and
 45:19 the Day of the Dead mass six-pack let's
 45:22 give away the let's give away that's Day
 45:25 of the Dead mask six packs so if you
 45:28 want to win that whether you're on
 45:29 discord or twitch type exclamation mask
 45:34 and we'll give that a few minutes and
 45:37 then we'll pick one winner all right
 45:39 sounds good so the next thing that
 45:42 needed to be done is now that we had the
 45:45 structure for the Oracle we needed to
 45:49 actually create the NPC an NPC that you
 45:52 could interact with inside the Oracle
 45:54 temple so there are a first pass the
 45:56 first you know version of the of the
 46:00 Oracle in the confirmatory came with
 46:04 release 10 in 2014 so you know September
 46:08 2014 so three years ago almost so this
 46:11 Oracle has been I mean we just we didn't
 46:14 just design in three releases and then
 46:16 we're done no no no it's been there a
 46:19 sequence of objects and sequence of
 46:22 development events that led to where we
 46:24 are the initial idea for the Oracle
 46:30 herself in the confirmatory was kind of
 46:33 like a screen of pins and we called it a
 46:38 pin
 46:38 we don't have a screenshot of that do I
 46:40 couldn't find one the only one I could
 46:42 find was was very old and it didn't
 46:46 really show it the way I want to shove
 46:47 I'll try and locate another one but it
 46:52 was in vision that's like a mechanical
 46:54 construct of primitive pegs that would
 46:59 sort of extend and retract to create the
 47:03 face of the Oracle when you sat down
 47:05 some of our long-term players may
 47:08 remember that it became clear pretty
 47:12 soon after that that it really just
 47:14 wasn't well and it wasn't that engaging
 47:17 you know it it felt too impersonal and
 47:22 it didn't really succeed it sort of
 47:24 eliciting an emotional response from the
 47:28 player it was it was just kind of like
 47:31 looking at a painting all right well you
 47:35 don't sometimes I like doing that stare
 47:37 at it for like days on it is it a
 47:38 screenshot so we decided that we were
 47:50 going to change the the look of the
 47:52 Oracle to the automaton face no because
 48:02 it would it would feel more personal and
 48:04 it you know you'd be able to relate to
 48:06 it a little bit better and it would also
 48:08 make it easier to animate the the pin
 48:11 plate proved to be really restrictive
 48:13 for animation and that was kind of the
 48:15 source of our feeling that you know it
 48:17 just wasn't doing the job that we wanted
 48:20 to do so we started thinking your
 48:22 Richard started thinking about other
 48:25 approaches and he remembered that we had
 48:29 done some concept art this is a Scott
 48:32 Joan a piece of Scott Jones concept art
 48:34 from long long ago you know a version of
 48:41 shroud of the avatar that wasn't try to
 48:43 the avatar yet it was a sort of a
 48:45 prototype game I think this is the
 48:48 ultimate RPG phase of
 48:51 and also game development but it was
 48:54 envisioned as you know sort of the Great
 48:57 and Powerful oz or you know the the Oz
 49:00 from the stage play wicked well which
 49:04 looks like that this is your actually
 49:06 yeah that's creepy Wow
 49:07 so these are actually I remember that
 49:10 these are quite appropriate to what
 49:13 we're giving away right now that they
 49:14 have dead masks well sort of I guess you
 49:16 know their masks or their faces you know
 49:19 I minor association I suppose it's a
 49:22 face it's a face there we go
 49:24 so the Day of the Dead mask six-pack
 49:26 we're giving away right now and we have
 49:28 a winner
 49:28 Congrats to interestingly Robin Hood
 49:31 Robin with an O why why Robin Hood I
 49:36 don't know joke everybody can laugh that
 49:39 one if they want or not Robin Hood
 49:41 Congrats on winning the head day of the
 49:43 dead six-pack and we have one more prize
 49:46 we'll give away loss of Twitter prize at
 49:49 the end of the livestream here great so
 49:52 yeah so congratulations on that the so
 49:56 back to our new approach to what the
 50:02 Oracle was going to look like we decided
 50:03 that she was going to look like
 50:07 basically herself but a smaller version
 50:10 of herself in the Oracle confirmatory
 50:14 now the Oracle you'll recognize a lot of
 50:20 design influences with this isn't that
 50:24 the let me guess I haven't seen this so
 50:26 let's listen fun trivia for the
 50:29 community here on discordant which what
 50:32 is this I assume they can guess
 50:36 theoretically what this where this photo
 50:39 comes from yeah everybody's saying
 50:40 everybody knows where this comes from my
 50:42 the only one is like 90% sure right
 50:46 where where does it come from everybody
 50:47 we saw this is this is the machine the
 50:49 Mensch from Fritz Lang's film metropolis
 50:52 Oh actually I was I was gonna guess
 50:55 Doctor Who yes
 51:00 oh yeah start learning correct yeah yeah
 51:03 so this is Maria from metropolis which
 51:09 was a very early film and sort of a
 51:14 benchmark film but you'll notice a lot
 51:17 of design influence from Maria to our
 51:21 Oracle and those are deliberate you know
 51:25 so when it came time to start building
 51:27 the Oracle you know it's sort of to
 51:30 expedite that one here's here's our
 51:33 Oracle this is another Steven dinelli
 51:37 concept very early and this we've
 51:43 promoted recently on some of the weekly
 51:45 updates and so you can see here that she
 51:48 has you know countless wires and inputs
 51:54 and things like that that are almost
 51:57 there are you know literally enslaving
 52:00 her to this to her throne to her chair
 52:04 these cables are are essentially the
 52:10 data feeds from throughout new Britannia
 52:14 of the Watchers and everything yeah
 52:16 exactly
 52:17 she's keeping track of everything I
 52:19 wonder what her fan was this that's a
 52:23 good question we may never know so the
 52:30 next you know the next thing that we had
 52:32 to do was start building it so you know
 52:34 to to expedite the production of the
 52:39 Oracle
 52:40 I bought a full body model of a of a
 52:46 robot that resembled the metropolis
 52:48 robot Maria and I proceeded to you know
 52:52 make some revisions to it you know
 52:53 particularly in areas of the face this
 52:56 is very very early work-in-progress
 52:59 stuff this is the initial result of that
 53:03 work but our Oracle evolved beyond this
 53:11 in in recent month
 53:13 and that's what we'll get to shortly
 53:16 we're getting close very close so the
 53:21 next the next thing that we needed to do
 53:24 and we weren't really time it wasn't
 53:26 really time at this stage to create the
 53:30 Oracle encounter because you know by
 53:32 this time we're talking you know this is
 53:35 2015 when Bob Cooksey started making the
 53:42 oracle temple structure we didn't get
 53:45 this building into into the game until
 53:49 maybe about a year later than that but
 53:52 we really didn't have a need to get to
 53:54 the interior of it until a year later
 53:56 than that it wasn't until this year 2017
 54:00 that we really had to get to the point
 54:03 where we needed to have the interior of
 54:07 the structure completed so that we could
 54:10 you know create the finale of the game
 54:13 with the audience with the Oracle so
 54:17 what before that what was there like it
 54:20 could could anyone even visit the
 54:21 chamber they could see the exterior the
 54:24 exterior was present in in brittany but
 54:28 you could never get into it there was
 54:30 never any way to enter into the into the
 54:33 building that became so it was it was
 54:38 sealed yeah and as time went on we got
 54:42 to the point in the story where we were
 54:43 able to to finish it and so the next
 54:51 series of things that we did is we
 54:53 started going back to the original
 54:54 concept art here's some piece of
 54:57 beautiful concept art that was made to
 54:59 show some of the details of the Oracle
 55:02 temple interior so we made sure to
 55:05 include this in in the revision to the
 55:11 interior we also had these monitors that
 55:16 serve as the visual displays that the
 55:21 Oracle is keeping track of so this this
 55:24 is kind of one of those almost
 55:26 steampunky displays that's right yeah we
 55:31 want you know we've always wanted to go
 55:32 was sort of a antique or old-fashioned
 55:37 technology you know a lot of clockwork
 55:42 gears a lot of you know brass and gold
 55:46 type of materials and things like that
 55:48 to make it feel you know a little an
 55:51 Akron is dick for you know it's not your
 55:53 standard medieval fantasy game right
 55:55 yeah we have a question here from Paulie
 55:57 walnuts what about the other sealed
 56:00 building across from the Oracle so that
 56:04 that is a I think that's a either a
 56:08 Coliseum or a theater has not it's not
 56:12 associated is it no it's not associated
 56:14 with the Oracle but that is also
 56:18 something that doesn't have an interior
 56:20 currently and will eventually hopefully
 56:23 be a place that you can get to for
 56:26 performances and other types of things
 56:28 like that but that is that's in the
 56:31 future okay very cool so this is what
 56:39 the concept of the Oracle temple
 56:41 interior looked like finished you know
 56:42 this incorporates all the different
 56:44 aspects that's that that we've talked
 56:46 about the spiders the Oracle herself the
 56:49 monitors that the room details basically
 56:51 I have one question here yes I'm putting
 56:57 you on the spot touch the monitor is
 56:59 behind her why are they behind her
 57:01 because she can't see them their monster
 57:03 that we can see so you'll see in the
 57:06 when we get to the room itself in just a
 57:09 minute you'll see that these monitors
 57:12 are animated they don't just stay static
 57:14 like that they move around okay they
 57:15 swing around and everything oh that's
 57:16 cool okay so you know you can only watch
 57:20 so many TVs at one time right so sure so
 57:24 some of them have to be behind while
 57:27 others kind of come to the forefront you
 57:29 know we may not literally see them swing
 57:32 around and from but that's the
 57:34 suggestion that that that that is how
 57:37 they function
 57:38 so once the model was complete or once
 57:44 the proxy model was complete I gave it
 57:45 to Fletcher to finish and he's the guy
 57:48 who created the the Oracle in her throne
 57:52 with the cables all over her he also
 57:56 created a great support structure above
 57:59 he created the monitors once those
 58:04 things were complete it got handed over
 58:06 to Matt Schmitz who's our animator and
 58:08 he brought it all to life with motion we
 58:13 have a comment from ekam on Kandra on
 58:17 conned us I think is roughly how I
 58:20 pronounce that sorry I thought I heard
 58:21 your name there the Oracle is a prisoner
 58:24 it looks like well she definitely
 58:27 doesn't look like she can go anywhere
 58:30 she's and it seems like she's been there
 58:33 for a long long time which is part of
 58:36 the mystery of new Britannia but yeah
 58:40 you're right she's not gonna get up and
 58:41 go anywhere out of that chair she's over
 58:46 time new feeds have been plugged in and
 58:48 she's you could say that she's a
 58:50 prisoner there an interesting
 58:54 interesting question I suppose yeah once
 59:01 the animation was done the next thing we
 59:02 had to do was create the via the visual
 59:05 effects for those screens now that's
 59:07 that's where daemon Waldrop comes into
 59:09 the picture and he peonies are he's our
 59:14 he's our lead visual effects effects
 59:16 artist and what he did I told him that I
 59:21 wanted to make sure that we showed sort
 59:24 of a chronology of all the scenes that
 59:27 you've had visited throughout your
 59:29 travels in new Britannia so that you
 59:32 know where you start with you see her in
 59:36 the or in the Isle of storms from the
 59:38 very first scene and you'll see her at
 59:40 the end and there's a long string of
 59:44 adventures that you go through
 59:46 throughout the game and I wanted the the
 59:49 images on the screens to be recognizable
 59:52 locations to sort of be a review of how
 59:56 flash ended here how far you've come
 59:58 you know that's neat so he did that and
 60:01 he created these great slide visual
 60:08 feeds and then we I think it's probably
 60:12 time for us to show it so I'm gonna give
 60:14 that the you sure this so we're done
 60:17 with the screenshots and you're gonna
 60:18 show the big reveal it will show it in
 60:22 the game in the game alright so let's uh
 60:24 let's give away that last prize here
 60:26 we'll let that run and then we'll award
 60:27 the winner at the very end of the live
 60:29 stream the I think we're at the ornate
 60:32 prison cage my favorite I said the
 60:35 Viking merchant outfit was my favorite
 60:36 before but now I think I've switch to
 60:39 this prison cage because it looks so
 60:40 darn cool so if you want to win the
 60:42 ornate prison cage type exclamation
 60:45 prison and since we're kind of on that
 60:50 theme I suppose but the comment of the
 60:52 Oracle is a prisoner it looks like well
 60:54 type exclamation prison if you want to
 60:56 win it both on this court and twitch and
 60:59 we'll give that until the end here as we
 61:01 show spoiler alert spoiler alert alert
 61:04 alert spoiler alert if you're just
 61:05 joining us here we're giving away prizes
 61:08 we're also showing some really awesome
 61:11 history leading up to the the end of the
 61:15 the story for the game at the finale of
 61:19 the game an ally of the games so the
 61:21 finale of the story element of the game
 61:22 okay yeah oh yeah I should be clear
 61:24 there that you don't nee only the story
 61:26 not the family of the game yeah
 61:28 so if you don't want to know it you can
 61:31 turn off the live stream right now we
 61:33 won't be sad that's totally
 61:34 understandable because we are giving
 61:36 away a little bit of some of what you
 61:38 will see as you adventure through this
 61:40 so let's go to so NYX I think you just
 61:46 bring up unity and it should pop up to
 61:48 the screen there it is and we got a can
 61:55 you here let me do this real quick
 61:57 so we're double you know technical Oh
 62:00 everything's perfect
 62:02 you know right to teleport our IT
 62:03 department we're
 62:04 do we have an IT department there we go
 62:10 okay so let me do a little tweaking to
 62:13 this window so everybody can see it
 62:20 and I believe we are good to go all
 62:25 right so here we know the the the last
 62:30 thing that had to be done was to add
 62:31 some of the Oracle bugs in there
 62:33 Travis cholesky Oh roll builder senior
 62:37 roll builder went in there and did that
 62:39 for us and so grab those grab the
 62:43 keyboard here so here we are
 62:51 looks like I'm being scanned by one of
 62:53 those already just got Watchers
 62:56 there it is moving around and so here
 63:11 you can see how it all came together the
 63:17 model of the finished model of the
 63:19 Oracle herself the animations of her
 63:22 twitching and her chair almost like
 63:25 she's got some well if I was sitting in
 63:27 a chair for decades or whatever long
 63:29 it's been I'd be twitching - well not
 63:30 really but what Matt really captured
 63:32 here was you know she's getting
 63:34 electrical input constantly and and it's
 63:38 almost like surges of information yeah
 63:41 and the monitors come down to show her
 63:47 things that are going on and we can
 63:51 watch a couple of them you can see
 63:53 sukwon a statue there so again you're
 63:57 gonna get sort of a little tour of your
 64:01 where you've been in novia got the
 64:06 watchers in here who never rest
 64:10 they're always watching so these
 64:13 Watchers they'll they'll visit her Oh
 64:18 and then leave and go of somewhere into
 64:19 one of the scenes she's watching her
 64:21 they are they always like these two here
 64:23 that we're seeing they're always in the
 64:26 chamber and then the ones outside are
 64:27 always outside well in this case you
 64:29 know these are the ones that kind of are
 64:32 always in the chamber hanging around the
 64:33 suppose I suppose you could you know you
 64:36 could suggest that you know they they
 64:39 you know maybe they go out but I kind of
 64:42 like the idea that these are almost like
 64:43 you know the Queen's attendants and
 64:45 these are though these are the ones that
 64:48 that are in the Oracle temple because
 64:51 even still they're doing their job you
 64:56 know so there it is you can see the
 64:59 great work that so many different people
 65:02 have done from you know our animators to
 65:07 our 3d modelers to visual effects to you
 65:14 know world building yeah it's really
 65:19 it's a really I really do feel like this
 65:23 scene was the greatest team effort that
 65:28 we've that we've had in the game there
 65:31 because it required so many different
 65:34 people for it to come together story
 65:37 people conversation sorry okay way to
 65:40 make sure it's all working the way it
 65:41 should yeah you know the tech team to
 65:46 who you know gave us all the shaders and
 65:49 lighting support and AI that needed to
 65:54 be president if we go and look if we go
 65:58 and start speaking with her we'll get to
 66:00 our conversation camera and so this is
 66:03 how you'll encounter and we wanted we
 66:06 wanted this camera angle to be low as if
 66:09 you were seeing it from the Watchers eye
 66:12 view yeah and you might even get a
 66:14 watcher coming into your into your field
 66:17 of vision here if we wait long enough
 66:19 but this is how you will how you will
 66:25 reach the the end of your story a long
 66:29 journey through new Britannia
 66:32 and all of the things you've experienced
 66:35 and can see hints of on the monitors
 66:38 here and really even though it's you
 66:41 know like you said just a minute ago
 66:42 this is the climax the end of the story
 66:46 currently for the game there's much more
 66:50 to explore throughout the game after
 66:54 you've been in this chamber you can go
 66:56 back out and hey Sarah
 66:59 so we're rushing crashing the stream the
 67:03 party love this scene I think this is
 67:06 probably one of the best things we have
 67:08 in the game it's just like I think
 67:11 people are gonna be taking screenshots
 67:13 of this and putting it all over the
 67:16 Internet to be like look at this amazing
 67:18 game yeah we want to see your
 67:20 screenshots because we want to see who
 67:22 it was who got to this point who
 67:25 completed the story and what your story
 67:27 was based on what you experienced
 67:30 leading up to this moment
 67:31 yeah and I'm seeing all that which I'm
 67:32 seeing on the comment stream here I did
 67:34 misspeak a little daily it's not the end
 67:35 of the story it's the end of the story
 67:38 in episode 1 episode 1 yeah that's how I
 67:40 was yep so very cool us and thank you
 67:44 Sarah for stopping in ah is there
 67:46 anything else you wanted to say to the
 67:47 community everyone have a good weekend
 67:51 everybody all right so we have the photo
 67:54 bomb yeah we always have special guests
 67:58 on livestream and maybe next week and in
 68:01 the weeks ahead we'll bring on other
 68:03 devs to to you know reflect back to the
 68:06 Oracle chamber and you know they will
 68:08 talk about their experience in designing
 68:10 because we just had hutch here today and
 68:13 like you had mentioned hutch there's so
 68:15 many that had a chance to work on this
 68:18 scene and leading up to what we're
 68:21 showing right now that there's more
 68:23 stories to tell so you know we're a
 68:25 pretty small team you know and but in
 68:28 all in all about 15 at least 15
 68:32 different individuals contributed to you
 68:35 know half of our process of leading up
 68:38 to this yeah and as I understand it you
 68:41 what we show today you're gonna write a
 68:43 little bit
 68:44 for the community that's true and I've
 68:46 gonna go in I'm gonna make a post I hope
 68:51 to get that you know posted for a post
 68:55 suite probably on Monday yeah early next
 68:58 week

 69:00 bit of additional detail for those of
 69:02 you that might be interested in and in
 69:05 what we talked about well what we'll do
 69:06 then for you community is will normally
 69:09 have this live stream on YouTube usually
