store but this 05:14 one is heart-shaped and yes you can sit 05:19 in it I have tested it many times and 05:22 it's like it's pink and a darker kind of 05:26 reddish pink it has miles yeah tiles so

and riffs and somebody 05:55 had the hot tub the heart tub oh yeah 05:57 sure you can see my heart tub in my 06:01 house in Veritas sanctuary it is just to 06:06 the right of the docks it's the first 06:09 blue tile row home about sarafina's 06:16 boutique and take a look-see so but the 06:19 upstairs is adults only no cooties I 06:24 would prefer the basement by design but 06:26 anyway I like it out in the open that's 06:29 good to know 06:30 interesting more prizes so we have the 06:34 heart tub the Valentine's Day gift boxes 06:37 the obsidian obelisk yes that's really 06:42 cool 06:43 if you have kind of a darker themed town 06:48 or a darker themed lot in the obsidian 06:52 series this is a really cool Egyptian 06:55 inspired obelisk think like the 06:59 Washington Monument shape almost but it 07:03 was slack 07:06 I'll black yeah and it has been really 07:08 cool actually designs on inside and it's 07:10 huge it's like your characters like this 07:13 and it's like this pause yeah it 07:15 dominates a little thin on a village or 07:18 larger yeah and you can put I forgot 07:23 which lot I had when I took the 07:24 screenshot for it but it comfortably it 07:27 must have been bigger I think but it had 07:29 a village house and had the nice obelisk 07:31 right next to it so anyway give him one 07:34 of those away and then as always we're 07:36 doing the Twitter giveaway here where 07:38 we're gonna give you a choice again and 07:40 it's going to be the choice of one 07:43 expiring item on the front page as a 07:46 store $49 or less which basically means 07:50 there's one item that doesn't count 07:52 that's on the front page which that's 07:54 expiring the funny you should ask I 07:56 think no the Obsidian obelisk got moved 08:00 off so that's not there anymore I was 08:01 going to make a joke about that but it's 08:03 actually the 08:06 you know I forget the whole one of the 08:08 houses I think that's expiring on the 08:11 front page 08:12 no it's $50 anyway that one doesn't 08:17 count 08:20 unless we get like maybe under different 08:21 everybody in chat tweets us and that's 08:24 how you win this choice here of your one 08:28 expiring

starter 19:50 scene polish we like rebuilding seems 19:53 like you sunless Barron's soundtrack 19:55 called spur refining skills new recipes 19:58 and patterns like over 30 recipes and 20:01 patterns

gotten to try it 21:28 out just have said like having a great 21:32 time so if you haven't patched up and 21:34 try and release 50 please do give us 21:37 your feedback you know we've already 21:39 been doing a few patches already it's 21:42 games get better that's and that's the 21:45 goal to make it better it really 21:46 released 51 it's gonna have a bunch of 21:49 cool stuff in it too but it's gonna be 21:51 not quite as monstrous in gigantic as 21:55 released 50 because it's gonna be a 21:57 short release because February of course 21:59 is a shorter month and the other months 22:01 of the year 22:01 so it's gonna be a little smaller so 22:04 don't you know that your expectations 22:07 properly in scope but more performance 22:10 we're going to be finally moving to a 22:12 newer version of unity that's got a lot 22:15 of stuff that's gonna unlock some CPU 22:18 upgrades for us the final pieces of the 22:21 virtue armor so now you'll have to be 22:22 able to have a complete set of those 22:24 it's gonna be the leggings the lost veil 22:27 and oh my god I can't wait for you guys 22:29 to see some of the cool stuff we're 22:31 doing waz bail so loss bail is something 22:34 we promised her in the Kickstarter and 22:35 it's going to be a scene that you can 22:38 only access during select certain 22:40 celestial alignments so kind of think 22:43 like how the sieges happen during 22:46 celestial alignments but it'll literally 22:48 only be able to turn on when things line 22:52 up and it's cool it's like in its own 22:55 sort of pocket dimension it's it's super 22:59 it's cool 23:02 we're finally everyone have a moment of 23:04 silence for the harvestable trees that 23:07 have been in since the prototype we did 23:10 for the Kickstarter is there going to go 23:13 away and we're gonna finally get 23:17 trees to chop down that actually look 23:19 like pine and maple so alright and bores 23:25 the wild boars that we put in our 50 23:27 they're gonna be tamable in our 51 and 23:30 just like we replaced the wolves in our 23:35 50 and our 51 the Bears are going to be 23:39 replaced we're gonna have new bears and 23:42 a moment of silence or the really shitty 23:46 ugly bears that we have that have 23:48 pouches and a big hole in the armpit 23:51 when they raise their arm so the Bears 23:54 ugly bears 23:57 the Bears are gonna go away so that's 24:01 what my family says when they talk about 24:03 football Doug bear is a bear sub Bears 24:05 the Bears the new bears heraldry so new 24:15 new hair alba so you'll be able to build 24:17 your family crest and you'll be able to 24:20 display it on those of you who had that 24:23 pledge award you'd be able to display it 24:24 on a kite shield and there's gonna be a 24:27 special chess a pattern for the 24:31 different types of armor for a chest 24:33 piece of armor and there'll be some 24:35 banners that you can hang up on your 24:36 wall - and everyone 24:42 I hope everyone's sitting down because 24:44 the other thing that's that we're going 24:46 to start in our 51 and we're also going 24:48 to do some work on this in our 52 is 24:50 we're going to do some 24:52 bender polish on the visuals for vendors 24:56 so they're not they don't all look the 24:58 same 25:00 and repeat that we're going to do some 25:02 vendor polish so vendors don't all look 25:05 the same 25:05 now this isn't bull customizability for 25:08 vendors is that we don't have time for 25:10 that 25:13 not by release that's going to come 25:14 later but 25:17 so so don't get your hopes up too much 25:19 but we're gonna give you some new we're 25:21 gonna give you a bunch of options so 25:23 you'll at least be able to pick like a 25:25 female vendor some different outfits and 25:29 we're also gonna make it so you can you 25:32 use a instead of like if you want 25:34 instead of a human vendor you can set up 25:37 a cash register and use that as a vendor 25:39 as well so and also continue continuous 25:44 progress on the physical goods so we'll 25:45 get all those up final production on 25:48 those which we're gonna talk about in a 25:50 minute with Scotty yes guys gonna come 25:51 in and show that so lots of

and hearing the tunes from DJ a 31:54 darkstar's list though if you were in 31:56 the game at-risk end and in the dance 32:00 party type it in chat we want to see who 32:02 was able to make it to that let's see 32:06 here at this done 32:10 one more 32:13 person there okay so we've got all right 32:18 so we've got green shots oh yeah I have 32:22 a bunch of stuff to show you guys and 32:24 most of it is weird kind of behind the 32:26 scenes stuff to give you all a 32:27 perspective of sort of what I go through 32:30 as I begin to create things because a 32:32 lot of the stuff that you all see just 32:33 appear magically oh that feels better 32:35 and oh that's nice especially when it 32:37 comes to things like icons stuff like 32:40 that just you you have no idea what what 32:44 you know I have to go through to make 32:46 sure that all those things are accurate 32:47 and that they all sort of correctly 32:49 reflect things that are going on in the 32:50 game oh but you will you will see that 32:52 today you know the theme is nobody knows 32:55 the troubles I've seen well you're gonna 32:59 get to see them in just a few moments 33:01 let's see if we can find that stall 33:03 right so we've got I think it popped up 33:04 here so we have your folder the 33:06 removable disk you plugged in yes 33:08 telephone and livestream images and look 33:11 behold the new folder 2018 go and just 33:15 pop one up and then I'll give this prize 33:17 away and then we'll plug it in so 33:18 everybody can see it here okay okay 33:20 we've got we've got our winner here 33:22 Congrats to elusive underscore illusion 33:25 ALL u.s. I owe an elusive illusion like 33:29 the name is very nice Lucia Lucia 33:31 Congrats to winning a 2018 Valentine's 33:33 Day gift boxes we explained those gift 33:35 boxes are containers so you can place 33:37 them in your home or in your town as 33:39 actual containers which is very nice 33:41 which by the way I'll have to say that 33:43 it was either read rollover or Hutch who 33:46 ended up creating these versions this 33:49 year for the Valentine stuff normally 33:51 I'm always the one that touches the gift 33:52 boxes but the reason why I didn't this 33:55 time is because of all the stuff you're 33:56 about to see I've been so under the gun 33:59 with this kind of stuff that there's 34:00 been no chance for me to actually 34:02 produce those physical in-game objects 34:04 so hutch was kind enough and so is Reed 34:06 I believe to jump in and grab all the 34:08 stuff that I'm in for the past gift 34:10 boxes to create these new versions 34:12 actually so thank you very much to hutch 34:14 and Reed for that this will work here is 34:17 let's see if we can maximize this I have 34:19 to keep myself from looking up yeah so 34:21 once you get to controlling this 34:24 now also we should be able to do for 34:26 that folder alesis right click to the 34:29 next of your screenshots oh good and 34:32 they get to see what's there so Oh 34:33 fantastic um again congrats to Eldrick 34:36 Bret raccoon and elusive underscore 34:38 illusion let's we have we do Twitter 34:41 prides every time and I explained to 34:43 them that we're expediting this a little 34:44 bit because as usual Starr and I talk 34:47 forever and make you wait and apologies 34:50 for that it's okay and so now we're 34:52 rolling on this and we're gonna be 34:53 showing you some of this stuff but let's 34:55 say I actually start the process for 34:56 giving away that hard tub I love it 34:59 whoever wins it hard tub here it comes 35:01 everybody exclamation art type in HEA RT 35:05 I don't know why I had to spell that but 35:07 just in case there you go discord into 35:10 which and we'll let Scotty take it away 35:12 okay so what you're seeing we're gonna 35:15 start off we're gonna start off with 35:17 just some of the basics as some of you 35:19 will leave noted as you've been playing 35:20 recently some of the potions have been 35:23 updating now there are certain ones that 35:25 you won't necessarily see update because 35:27 the decision was made we can't make an 35:29 individual icons for every single thing 35:30 because literally there are so many 35:33 icons that if we made something for 35:35 every little bit of food or every you 35:37 know a unique one for all the food and 35:38 unique ones for every single obsidian 35:40 potion or unique ones for every single 35:42 of opposing poison poison potions 35:47 forgive me then it would just fill up to 35:51 capacity our ability to actually you 35:54 know 35:56 wasn't the game in a way that was 35:57 actually fast I mean seriously memory 36:00 issues are concerned so even icons add 36:02 up over time but what I did try to do is 36:05 to make sure that we made very careful 36:07 choices in a variety of different 36:08 situations to determine what you know 36:11 what what players might most be confused 36:14 by if they don't have a graphic for it 36:16 that has sort of individualized and so 36:18 for the potions what you see here are 36:20 very distinct choices these these are 36:23 the results of those choices and those 36:25 distinct choices help to kind of 36:27 determine oh I see this is the potion 36:30 that I put in there there's four 36:31 different kinds of heels let's say well 36:33 you want to know what you're going to 36:34 use the the healing potion that gives 36:37 you everything back or or gives you just 36:39 a little back over the top over time or 36:41 gives you a small amount or a lot at 36:45 once all these different choices had to 36:47 be sort of made and of course the 36:49 characters are making these choices your 36:50 players are as they're playing the game 36:51 so to not know which suddenly out of the 36:54 four that you have on your bar which of 36:56 the one is going to do what you wanted 36:57 to do at that moment it's not so nice 36:59 it's not so happy making and so that 37:01 seemed kind of same concern was shown 37:03 for all these so let's see there we go 37:06 so you can see all these here if you 37:07 look through you'll notice a lot of the 37:09 new art that is that is appeared in game 37:11 to let you see in your hotbar what 37:14 potion you have and and you know you'll 37:17 see though that that exact same kind of 37:19 thing translated over to the icon that 37:21 you'll see in your inventory so you'll 37:23 be able to see if the heat if a potion 37:25 of healing is imbued which you can see 37:27 that kind of mystical glow blue glow 37:29 around it or whether it fuck is one of 37:32 the other three tiers of potions which 37:33 does a little bit of heals a little bit 37:35 of damage a middling amount of damage or 37:37 a lot of damage and so it's really good 37:40 to be able to see these now I kind of 37:41 played with the idea of the shape of the 37:43 bottles as well so it wasn't just all 37:45 same exact shape now you'll see brown 37:46 bottom say the triangle and I think I 37:51 see a little bit of different one the 37:53 blue glowing the red and the purple seem 37:56 to be oh maybe it's because of oh 37:58 because they're glowing yeah they're 38:00 glowing they're imbued but you'll also 38:02 see that on some of the bottles they'll 38:03 be little symbols on the side too that 38:05 indicate what those specifically 38:07 why'd you go ahead and expand that a 38:09 little bit just hit the plus sign there 38:11 see you then you it'll come up with the 38:12 crank though oh yeah okay it'll give 38:14 them a little bit more yeah hopefully 38:16 that's a little bit easier for you guys 38:18 to see yeah now of course you are 38:19 looking at very tiny little icons right 38:21 and so so we couldn't really go too much 38:24 closer to it without it just kind of 38:26 falling apart and becoming sort of 38:28 digitized looking but nonetheless it 38:30 gives you a little bit of a visual cue 38:32 and that's what we were going for over 38:33 over time your eyeballs will get used to 38:35 those visual cues and you'll be able to 38:36 you know detect what's going on with 38:38 these things we've got we've got the 38:40 discussion about the potions in chat 38:41 here we've got P Bo soda I don't use any 38:44 of the lesser potions I only sell them 38:46 to vendors so you can save on those but 38:48 wait we have a goblin hooker who was 38:50 talking stare earlier I use a lesser 38:52 focus every day so you got to make sure 38:55 it covers our room it does need to cover 38:56 everybody and Plus you know if you're 38:58 looking in the inventory and you you 38:59 know you're uh let's say you're one of 39:01 those folks who loves to use the actual 39:03 what we call the dump inventory or the 39:05 bag mode inventory where you literally 39:07 love to just place the little icons 39:09 around doing it by visual means that 39:12 you're you know kind of more easily able 39:14 to see the bunch of the ones you want to 39:16 sell to a vendor or the ones you want to 39:17 throw away or whatever anyway so that's 39:20 some of the smaller changes you may have 39:22 noticed recently but to give you an idea 39:24 and we're going to go now into some 39:26 other icons that have changed you also 39:29 see that you may have noticed the 39:30 changes in some of the crafting icons 39:33 now for a while they're here let me go 39:35 ahead and make that thing bigger yeah 39:36 sorry about that way out there we have 39:38 to do this each time that's yeah that's 39:40 kind of a bummer 39:42 another plus and yeah I fear I fear 39:44 hitting buttons to make it happen so so 39:46 you can see there that's in my little 39:48 test screen area I've brought up my 39:50 skills and you can kind of see that the 39:52 skill tree has started to be filled out 39:53 now with more you with individual and 39:55 unique icons for each of the different 39:57 skills and of course you can see this if 40:00 I flip through a couple of these screen 40:02 and you can see a couple examples of 40:03 these and you know of course the goal in 40:07 this case is just to let people kind of 40:10 again have a nice visual differentiation 40:13 between them not necessarily these will 40:14 appear on your hotbar most these are 40:17 innate so you'll never drag them over 40:18 but when you're looking at the tree it's 40:20 it's nice to kind of see different icons 40:22 to represent sort of a different 40:23 understanding of what each of power does 40:24 you know just so it doesn't look like me 40:26 just pasted the same thing over and over 40:28 again I haven't gotten to the mall yet 40:30 there are still some refining skills or 40:33 I should say some yeah some refining 40:36 skills that need to have new icons for 40:37 their tree - that's the last task I have 40:40 for these particular icons before we end 40:42 up calling you know sticking a fork in 40:45 it and calling it done now if anybody 40:47 has any questions for Scottie here we're 40:49 talking about the the icons right now 40:51 all the work is done on that we've got 40:53 some more things to show you as we 40:55 mentioned earlier in the live screen so 40:57 if you're just tuning in this is Scotty 40:59 and Scotty what we didn't actually 41:01 really do an introduction of your title 41:04 oh I'm just kind of a general artist I'm 41:06 I'm one of the senior artists at portal 41:08 areum I've worked with Richard for years 41:10 and years even long before tellurian was 41:12 formed I used to work back in the old 41:14 days back when I was doing the same kind 41:16 of work and and interface worked for 41:18 Ultima Online so so yeah I've been kind 41:21 of I'm an old dog in the industry man 41:23 been doing I as you were talking I was 41:26 tempted to press these - implements - 41:29 see what happens here yeah diddling with 41:35 that little slider I was annoying but 41:38 but anyway so so this is just example of 41:40 what you see as the tree begins to fill 41:42 itself out with the new icons I've made 41:44 you'll be able to take advantage of 41:46 those in the game so these are just 41:47 little things but here's the funny part 41:49 that I will explain as I show you what I 41:52 mean by that and here here's some better 41:53 better example you feel free 41:55 yeah feel free to do it as we go through 41:57 here so now you can look kind of a 42:00 little more closely these things as I 42:02 said as you get closer you can start 42:03 seeing a little you know non raster I 42:06 sort of looking edges to these they're 42:09 never meant to be seen this huge but you 42:11 can kind of look through them and see 42:12 some of the old ones that are already 42:13 there mixing with some of the new ones 42:15 that were made to allow you to recognize 42:17 that oh I'm making plate male versus 42:19 chainmail and you know these have been 42:21 endowed with certain properties and all 42:22 that kind of good stuff now all of these 42:26 icons are wonderful jewel like little 42:28 colorful things and they they seem very 42:30 simplistic on the outset you can look at 42:32 them the reality is they're made of 42:34 files that have multiple layers in 42:36 Photoshop to allow for glow effects and 42:39 other things that I decided upon since 42:41 long ago we made the decision for me to 42:43 not hand paint these things in other 42:45 words they weren't going to be these 42:45 little paintings they were instead going 42:47 to be some icons that were sort of 42:49 generated through the use of symbols and 42:52 and such again and again to make sure 42:55 that the sort of the family 42:56 quote-unquote of these icons I was 42:59 recognizable and that includes things 43:00 like you know the the same school of 43:03 crafting say for instance has the same 43:05 kind of color in the background so if 43:07 you look down here at this butchery icon 43:08 all the icons pertaining to butcher meat 43:11 will have the same kind of color and 43:13 we'll have a variance on the same sort 43:15 of theme also all the crafting icons are 43:18 different from the magic and the combat 43:19 icons and that these things have sort of 43:22 a silhouette of the icon in the center 43:25 as opposed to the stuff that looks like 43:26 either gold when you're dealing with 43:28 magic icons or silver when you're 43:30 dealing with the combat icons you know 43:32 so a different treatment for all the 43:33 different types of icons so if we go to 43:35 the next page here you'll see more of 43:37 these icons right you know the odd these 43:41 obviously this one obviously it has to 43:43 do with tailoring and even though this 43:45 has a hammer anvil this is talking about 43:47 a repair this is a repair icon so you 43:49 get a family of repair having to do with 43:51 the hammer you know the the different 43:54 work hammers on the gear in the 43:55 background but it's color identifies it 43:57 as dealing with tailoring so you know 44:00 this kind of thing is it deals with sort 44:02 of pinpointing accuracy when you're 44:03 dealing with these different things so 44:05 again the same kind of symbol used in 44:07 relation to 44:07 different symbols for the different 44:08 schools means specific things I stare at 44:11 that scissors and now all I can think of 44:12 is don't run with scissors 44:13 yeah otherwise that happens you break 44:15 whatever you're doing your body but yeah 44:17 so you see kind of the way I'm kind of 44:19 handling all this stuff right now all 44:22 this seems very simple until you begin 44:24 to realize what it takes for me to be 44:27 able to make these icons accurately and 44:29 properly every time because you see I 44:31 get handed a list of icons and this list 44:33 of icons doesn't necessarily indicate 44:35 things like the school so now you get to 44:37 see where the woh behind the scenes is 44:39 this is a spreadsheet it's a spreadsheet 44:41 that I made to keep track of every kind 44:43 of icon that I do and all the different 44:46 icon changes that I've made recently to 44:47 just the crafting icons alone you can 44:50 see on page after page 44:55 age of painstakingly you know written 45:01 down ideologies about how these icons 45:04 must be made everything from an 45:05 indication to what kind of icon will be 45:08 in the center of it what kind of little 45:09 symbol to the color background of the 45:12 individual school itself to the category 45:14 that it falls into meaning that it's an 45:17 eight so it has a gray sort of cast to 45:20 the icon itself the border of the icon 45:22 and all of these things are color-coded 45:25 to indicate how I have to build these 45:27 icons including the proper name that 45:30 it's saved under including what the icon 45:32 does so I don't get them confused with 45:33 an icon with a different property or 45:35 what it indicates all of this has to be 45:38 done before I can really start working 45:40 on the icons to make sure I don't make 45:41 mistakes and I have to manage this this 45:45 table and believe me if you look down 45:47 here see down here at the bottom all 45:49 those numbers those are numbers 45:51 representing every release with any 45:53 icons I've ever made for all the way 45:55 back to the very beginning or at least 45:58 as far back until I started touching 45:59 these icons and realize they need to be 46:01 ordered in a certain way for me to not 46:03 go insane while creating them yeah that 46:07 is a big someone someone said that's a 46:10 big spreadsheet yes yes it is and and 46:14 and and so within the realm of that kind 46:17 of pain just so you can understand let's 46:19 move to a different spreadsheet because 46:20 now let's jump to a different topic you 46:23 saw what I did for the icons that's the 46:25 only thing I've been able to work on 46:26 that's actually in-game content recently 46:28 because I've also been preoccupied by a 46:31 whole new slew of things I'm working on 46:33 which is the physical goods the physical 46:37 goods that go to our Kickstarter backers 46:40 in the form of the collectors box that 46:43 those who were involved in the 46:44 Kickstarter get and you can see that we 46:47 have eight thousand three hundred and 46:49 ninety two such game boxes that we have 46:51 to make filled with all manner of these 46:55 let's see what are the 18 different 46:57 items that may have to go in there 46:59 depending upon what level of backer you 47:01 were and what rewards 47:03 got and all of this has to be managed 47:05 individually both on-site with me and 47:08 then me you know talking with all the 47:09 managers and then off-site with a fella 47:11 by the name of Ben Richards Richard who 47:13 you know of from perhaps relics by will 47:16 who handles a lot of our goods and 47:19 salesmen who and he's also - yeah we 47:22 actually just retweeted him I retweet 47:24 him a an hour before this livestream 47:27 because he was proposing and he wanted 47:29 to reach out to the community on a new 47:30 design for some particular item yeah and 47:32 so I thought it helped yeah that's 47:34 awesome so we work very closely with 47:36 ruled and then in addition we also work 47:38 with people like Dennis lebay and Sir 47:40 Frank who end up providing this with 47:42 cool designs for things including art 47:44 for the interior or something like the 47:45 manual coming up which I'll show you in 47:47 a few moments as well as the Queen's 47:49 that we're producing which again the 47:51 coin that will come in this box for 47:52 those who get the coin is that one 47:53 designed by Sir Frank and so we're 47:55 honoring him by you know kind of making 47:58 sure that we we interface with him as we 48:00 make changes or mean we make additions 48:02 so you can see it starts with this this 48:04 is the simple spreadsheet now now we go 48:08 to what I had to do to make sure that I 48:10 could see the interdependencies between 48:12 all of these tasks before we even began 48:15 them and all my little notations that 48:17 this shows you the level of complexity 48:19 before we can even begin the process of 48:21 creating the physical goods now a lot of 48:24 you for instance I've heard like you 48:25 know you're chomping for your champ a 48:27 bit you really want the goods and we 48:28 want to give them to you but it's not as 48:31 easy as just producing them and sending 48:32 them to printer so many eyes have to be 48:35 dotted so many T's have to be crossed 48:37 before we can even get to the point of 48:39 properly sending anything to the printer 48:41 and then of course we have to wait for 48:43 the production process to occur in the 48:44 manufacturers to do their job but this 48:46 right here gives you an idea of just 48:48 what I have to go through to help 48:50 arrange and manage the process before we 48:52 can even begin creating the files that 48:55 produce the digital goods that the 48:58 manufacturers then turn into physical 49:00 goods 49:02 so what are these physical goods we've 49:04 been working on well the cloth map is 49:06 one of them the cloth map is really 49:08 important to Richard and obviously so 49:09 all the past products he's worked on 49:11 have had cloth maps and he really really 49:14 loves engaging in the idea of creating 49:15 these little relic and artifacts that 49:17 people can actually hold in their hand 49:19 and look at and enjoy or maybe hang on 49:21 their wall we you know we'll be 49:24 providing this not really in a digital 49:25 form but also in a physical form too 49:27 which is really cool so by the way uh 49:30 hello to everybody who's just now 49:31 joining hopefully you're enjoying seeing 49:33 this we're actually in the physical 49:34 goods part of this little discussion 49:35 showing you the kind of stuff that we're 49:36 making and by the way this map is really 49:38 cool it's cool for several reasons not 49:42 only does it go back from you know to 49:43 the earliest days of us planning out 49:44 what this game was going to be and then 49:46 how slowly being iterated until it is 49:48 what it is now just recently we went 49:50 through a pass where we released the 49:52 information to uh to some of our backers 49:54 and our fans members of the community 49:57 who are interested in seeing the map be 49:58 a perfect success and from them we got 50:01 all kinds of awesome feedback which 50:03 allowed me to go in and make all these 50:04 little final map tweaks and such now we 50:06 could incorporate everything I believe 50:08 some fellow wanted us to you know said 50:10 oh you left out the little degree marker 50:11 in this corner for this 25 degree marker 50:13 here well I just couldn't put it in 50:15 there it's just too close to the other 50:16 number of wentest it'll totally but but 50:19 then there are loads of things I was 50:21 able to fix including into the 50:22 indications of like the ruins being on 50:24 the wrong side of the river does this 50:25 map went through an iterative process 50:27 long before we started to build the 50:28 world and then we built the world 50:30 certain decision to remain to change 50:32 where things were and you know we didn't 50:35 always catch when we had to make changes 50:37 on the map to to account for that but 50:40 there are so many great areas on this 50:42 map now that look even better because 50:44 we've got me input from me know you so 50:46 for all those who were responsible for 50:49 that thank you so much for giving us 50:51 your feedback now but that's not all 50:53 that had to be done this is what the 50:54 digital file looks like if you're 50:56 looking at the coolness of the map 50:57 itself but for the manufacturers to be 50:59 able to print it I had to go in and out 51:01 a whole bunch of other stuff including 51:02 what's called bleed and slug edges / 51:04 bleed to allow people to cut this stuff 51:06 down you can see printers marks up here 51:08 which are like the little color-coded 51:10 things that make sure that the printer 51:11 when they actually print the 51:13 always print in consistent color of 51:15 course it had to be switched to CMYK if 51:20 you explain real quick for those who you 51:23 know don't understand that that one and 51:26 honestly I'm not sure I quite understand 51:29 still to this day is the print colors 51:31 are different than they're your regular 51:33 Photoshop online web image colors and if 51:36 you cross them they could look very bad 51:38 in print 51:39 yeah they you know you have something 51:40 that looks wonderful in RGB and then you 51:43 convert it to CMYK which is the CMYK 51:45 reverts to cyan magenta yellow and K 51:49 meaning black and the CMYK colors are 51:53 specifically referring to the colors 51:55 used in the ink for print and so RGB 51:59 usually is it's red green blue but it's 52:02 really referring to essentially the 52:04 colors used to project color from a 52:07 screen using using light whereas CMYK is 52:11 referring to the colors that are you 52:13 know essentially varying degrees of 52:14 opaque or not on layered on top of white 52:17 paper to create the colors with ink so 52:20 those two those two thin systems are 52:23 very different so for instance I had to 52:25 go in and normalize colors that changed 52:29 in their value to the eye the moment it 52:31 went to the CMYK and then same goes not 52:34 just with this but with nemesis dennis 52:35 lebay is painting the need to digitally 52:37 for the cover of the box itself which 52:39 we'll be seeing in a few minutes 52:41 well the the vibrant blues that were 52:43 used in that but when I turn them to 52:45 CMYK turned weird and drab and strange 52:48 they weren't the same whereas vibrant 52:50 beautiful like the color believe that 52:52 you look right this yeah it does pop 52:55 when it's digital but what I wanted to 52:56 see him wake hey I had to go in and 52:58 actually turn Dennis's physical painting 53:01 into a multi layered Photoshop file so I 53:03 can take all the colors individually and 53:05 tweak them in CMYK until they can became 53:08 as close as they could the RGB values to 53:11 my eye 53:11 we've got element in discord chat he 53:14 says don't cross the color streams 53:17 that's right well you'll get you'll get 53:20 found this happen in fact I mean even 53:23 computers sometimes freak out when you 53:24 try to share CMYK 53:26 as it blows the mountain some kind of 53:29 crazy ungodly colors if you try to mix 53:31 media there so because it wants RGB but 53:34 printers want CMYK and that's what 53:35 you're seeing right there those others 53:37 printers marks 53:38 now the next one of the next objects 53:40 like I said was Sir Frank wing design 53:43 which he helped to provide us with sort 53:45 of a visual sample of what it might look 53:47 like once it was changed to the specific 53:50 one that we promised for ours which 53:51 contains Lord British's forsaken virtues 53:53 and then says founders Edition on the 53:55 bottom this is a Photoshop mock-up but 53:57 to make this possible I had to then 54:00 create a word with Frank to take the 54:02 actual design used for the printer and 54:04 then change the words because that had 54:07 not been done yet 54:08 change the words to allow for the 54:09 printer themselves or I should say the 54:11 coin manufacturer to then create the 54:14 upraised bits of the design which are 54:15 represented in black here when they 54:18 actually produced the coins themselves 54:19 and so Frank actually just sent me 54:22 recently a little mock-up that they did 54:24 showing that oh you might want to change 54:26 a little bit on the lettering just to 54:28 make sure that all these little parallel 54:30 lines on the letters have a little bit 54:32 more space to them so they don't manage 54:33 together when they get essentially 3d 54:35 created and metal so I'm about to go in 54:38 and do that maybe later on today but you 54:40 see the process that kind of goes behind 54:42 all this to make sure that these things 54:44 work out when they're turned into real 54:45 physical goods now the next thing I'm 54:48 going to show you is the manual work on 54:50 the manual that we're doing so you're 54:51 actually seeing me in a screenshot from 54:53 an interface in InDesign where I'm kind 54:56 of showing you the individual pages and 54:59 then spreads of the manual itself I'm 55:01 only going to show you a few of them 55:02 because it's still in process there's no 55:04 reason to go through the whole thing but 55:05 what you see right there by the way is 55:07 the cover page of it and the little kind 55:10 of dark area around the edge 55:11 that's the bleed that I'm kind of 55:14 blacking out there using a thing called 55:16 over print preview that just shows you 55:18 what you'll really see on the cover so 55:19 you ignore the little dark line right 55:21 there that's the part called bleed or 55:24 over bleed that gets cut off by the 55:25 manufacturer we have a couple of 55:27 questions from the community I think 55:28 going back to the other things real 55:29 quick huh 55:30 will these be available to others or at 55:33 price as well I think he's referring 55:35 ohlike the cloth map and some of the 55:37 other object points 55:38 yeah yes oh so the answer to that in 55:40 general is yes for many things for 55:45 instance Dennis obey is is you know 55:49 potentially going to be providing us 55:50 with a design that we may end up using 55:52 for the for the ankh but that will go 55:56 inside of the of the game you know our 55:58 little our little trinket and we're 56:00 still kind of throwing around ideas 56:02 about whether it will be that trinket or 56:04 whether it will be a little obsidian 56:05 rock or whatever we're playing around 56:07 with that still but if we go with Dennis 56:09 lebay the Dennis obeys even though the 56:13 people can get the box we'll have for 56:14 free that little trinket included in it 56:16 that are of that proper backer level 56:20 anyone who did not get one that has it 56:22 you know from inside the box and still 56:25 if they wish 56:25 buy one from Dennis labayda's own son 56:27 and have that same design themselves 56:30 just you know essentially for free in 56:33 the box and we also a question from 56:35 Tebow soda who asks what will the 56:37 dimensions be I believe it's referring 56:39 to the cloth mat perhaps Oh the possibly 56:43 so well the dimensions of the cloth map 56:45 are going to be 18 inches wide by 15.3 56:50 six inches tall I believe if I'm with my 56:52 memories are threating good size yes 56:54 it's a really nice big cloth map it'll 56:56 be really great and of course for those 56:58 of for those of you all who will be 57:00 getting a PDF copy of it as well if you 57:02 wanted to print your own on paper you'd 57:04 be able to take it directly to a place 57:06 and print it out for yourself as well I 57:07 think so uh so yeah so this is the first 57:11 page of it and then here now you can see 57:14 a two-page spread the two page spread 57:16 kind of shows you how I'm sort of laying 57:17 it out we don't have a table of contents 57:19 yet because the interior of it isn't 57:21 isn't complete we haven't you know we 57:23 haven't signed off on the final text yet 57:25 JoEllen well mystery of what came before 57:29 me tell you a story well and that's the 57:32 cool part about this is at first I was 57:34 like oh so it's just gonna be like a 57:35 manual to show you how to operate the 57:37 game but but eventually it was assigned 57:39 upon to have a little bit of nice Lord 57:42 and fiction beginning as well it talks 57:43 about a little bit of the history of the 57:45 game and such which I always loved and 57:46 of course which always suits like 57:48 drawings and Dennis low base artwork 57:51 so so if we look at another page for 57:54 instance this kind of shows a we have 58:00 other folders to show things to write 58:02 well this is this is the folder and 58:03 we're almost to the end but we do 58:05 surprise okay short so we have a winner 58:09 for our heart tub Congrats to dark swirl

really intricate design and 60:28 we already saw one actually somebody 60:29 bought it there's like new members who 60:32 will watch the storefront on Thursday 60:35 mornings of releases and see when at the 60:38 moment of popping things you know think 60:40 that things could become available don't 60:42 go and grab them because they know about 60:43 these things in our release instructions 60:45 on Wednesday they totally get a little 60:48 sneak peek you guys get a sneak peek of 60:49 what's uh what's being put into the game 60:51 on Wednesdays with our release 60:52 instructions of contestant fantastic 60:55 okay well here we'll go through a few of 60:57 these final items then and then my tasks 60:59 will be done so so you're looking at 61:02 here for instance another page spread 61:04 inside of the manual that we're thinking 61:05 about to make sure that people can see 61:07 what the user interface and the hotkeys 61:08 are and things like that and so that you 61:11 can kind of I chose this page simply 61:12 because it shows how like some of the 61:14 tables and charts kind of look like in 61:16 the in the manual itself or at least our 61:18 ended up right now the next page I 61:21 wanted to show simply because the fact 61:23 that it shows you I have a lot of 61:25 placeholder art in here and you'll 61:26 notice if you're familiar with with with 61:29 Dennis labayda art this placeholder art 61:31 is art that he made for for the the sort 61:36 of interest book and I took it and just 61:39 kind of recraft it for the purposes of 61:41 showing where art may exist inside the 61:43 the manual it allows the text that I'm 61:47 placing it to flow around that artwork 61:48 and it enables me once the text is in 61:51 place to know that okay here's what I 61:53 want to let Dennis know to draw for us 61:56 based on the theme of whatever text is 61:58 surrounding the the particular image on 62:00 that particular page and it's in fact 62:02 I'm going to be doing that today because 62:03 we're hopefully did hoping to nail down 62:04 the last bit of text for the manual 62:06 today and then get Dennis for working on 62:08 these Richard really wanted Dennis 62:10 lebesgue to be involved in this and so 62:12 did I because I mean his illustrations 62:14 like this honestly helped define the 62:17 look and feel of the books of all the 62:19 you know the old manuals and users 62:21 guides from all the old Ultima games and 62:23 in this particular case 62:24 since this is you know when to kind of 62:26 live on in spirit of those old days 62:28 Denis LePage just had to be involved in 62:31 the artwork for the for the new manual a 62:33 good one there where to purchase where 62:35 to find purchase items yeah that's a 62:38 good section yeah we added that section 62:40 to simply to make sure you know a lot of 62:42 people don't know where do I find my 62:43 stuff when I buy it 62:44 speaking of that we actually I think you 62:47 don't about to Scottie we've worked on 62:48 over the last couple of months 62:50 if we created and then ran a contest 62:53 that asks the community come up with 62:57 some videos that show new players and 62:59 existing players where to find things 63:02 Tomica started and tips and tricks on 63:04 combat and and harvesting and everything 63:08 in the game you went through a bunch of 63:09 those regional agent all 200-plus oh wow 63:12 your eyeballs looked at them all that's 63:14 great for 200 videos we went through 63:16 every single one there was a lot of them 63:19 that were created by an individual so an 63:22 individual of several created ten or 63:25 more as a series and gave it like a step 63:29 one step to kind of process because we 63:32 limited the time form so they're nice 63:34 little sound bit or video bits for you 63:36 guys two minutes long at most 63:38 that's all most of them in regards to 63:41 you know finding things in the game and 63:43 so you know that's just one of the 63:46 community things that I was seeing and 63:48 in just one of those that we we look at 63:52 to find out what do you guys really want 63:55 to know and what do you think new 63:57 players want to know and then you know 63:59 in part at least take a little bit of 64:00 that and or perhaps a lot I don't know 64:03 on you know making these physical goods 64:06 really be as informative and useful for 64:10 you as possible 64:11 yes absolutely and in fact by the way in 64:14 spirit of that here you could see more 64:17 of Dennis's placeholder art but as we go 64:19 through this whole process and start 64:22 filling in these blanks one of the 64:24 things we definitely wanted to do and we 64:26 had an excellent opportunity to do this 64:27 when a bunch of our guests were here 64:29 during our holiday party I'll tell you 64:32 this you know a little story Richard 64:35 ended up introducing 64:37 to one of the one of our one of our 64:41 backers and a longtime fan who is 64:44 producing a website or has produced I 64:46 should say already already authored it 64:48 and is now continuously filling it with 64:50 more and more data and information about 64:52 pertaining to the the crafting system 64:54 really really great useful stuff now I 64:57 didn't even know about this I wasn't 64:58 even aware of this I don't play the game 65:00 enough to be able to actually know a lot 65:01 about the crafting system other than of 65:03 course what I designed interface for and 65:04 things like that but if you if you'll 65:07 notice down here at the bottom of this 65:09 image right here and I can there we go 65:13 you see a little image presented by 65:17 oaken hammer and for those of you all 65:19 who don't necessarily know who he is 65:21 he produced a site called soda Smith 65:24 calm and soda Smith calm just gives 65:29 great love to the crafting system he 65:33 provides all kinds of amazing 65:34 information on that site and up to and 65:37 including like where to find things and 65:39 how to craft things and what materials 65:41 are used to do all that and one of the 65:43 newest things he's beginning to implant 65:45 is essentially a flow chart an assembly 65:49 train that shows how you put together 65:52 these items for all the different 65:54 recipes in a wonderful visual context 65:57 and Richard was so impressed by this 65:59 that he's like me we really need to 66:01 include this an image of that in our 66:04 manual to show the process of doing it 66:07 and so in addition to like you know all 66:09 the icons you can see here to talk about 66:11 the different categories of crafting 66:13 right here we see a wonderful paragraph 66:16 that I added to indicate what this image 66:20 is all about the cropping part the 66:22 crafting process follows a series of 66:23 steps as illustrated in the above 66:24 example raw materials Deen by harvesting 66:27 or individually worked using recipes 66:28 tools and other expendable resources to 66:31 craft them into more refined items but 66:33 like the base raw materials these 66:35 refined items may be bought sold or 66:37 traded individually or be combined using 66:39 further recipes tools and Expendables to 66:42 create a final item of even better and 66:44 workmanship and so we really don't have 66:48 any place in our own game where we show 66:50 this process so clearly as oaken hammer 66:53 has done for his site and so there is no 66:55 reason not to include this in the manual 66:57 because you know and and most likely 67:00 eventually it will end up in the online 67:02 even more expanded players you know 67:05 guide as well to help people understand 67:07 how the process works this is just 67:10 beautiful elegantly done very well done 67:12 oaken hammer and as a result of that 67:14 we're putting it right in the manual for 67:16 everybody to take advantage of and so 67:17 fun to sight yeah very well done and I 67:20 was impressed when I first saw your site 67:21 open hammering and there's a we have 67:23 sodas mint calm and there's a few other 67:27 crafting sites and services that the 67:29 community has listed in our resources 67:32 tab on the website of the website if you 67:35 go to the community tab right in the 67:37 middle of the main menu and drop that 67:39 down there is the event calendar and the 67:44 resources and a bunch of other things 67:45 but the resources tab you go there beau 67:47 Smith comm is listed there right next to 67:50 several other crafting resources and 67:52 there's a bunch of other general 67:54 resources as well that we've listed and 67:56 speaking of that page we do update that 67:59 when we get a notice from you guys the 68:00 community if there's anything we need to 68:02 update to those outdated information or 68:05 any new sites that you are creating any 68:08 new fan sites and he new crafting 68:10 resources things like soda wiki dotnet 68:12 if you have you're managing a section or 68:15 a page in there on crafting or combat or 68:17 anything else housing whatnot everything 68:20 in the game is useful for the community 68:21 on these sort of website interfaces and 68:25 so let us know and we'll be happy to add 68:27 it yes and and so here let me then move 68:31 forward with the next element here and 68:34 that is the box itself now I haven't 68:37 done the back of the box it's going to 68:39 have screenshots and a few other things 68:40 on it that I haven't had a chance to 68:41 compile but the all of these wonderful 68:45 things that I've shown you up to and 68:47 including the 68:50 the lonely manual that I just got 68:52 finished showcasing are going to go into 68:54 the collector's box and so this is my 68:57 mock-up for the box itself now what 68:59 you're seeing really is only the exact 69:01 top of the box and you even see a little 69:03 sort of an embossed gold seal on it that 69:06 identifies it as a collector's boxed 69:08 edition but what I wanted to show you is 69:12 a little bit more of the 69:13 behind-the-scenes stuff in that the 69:15 image we're giving to the printer though 69:17 has to look like this and the reason why 69:19 is literally it becomes a folded cover 69:22 it's called a case wrap that goes around 69:25 the cardboard box top itself and has to 69:28 be cut in special ways so that it will 69:29 fold nicely and go in and create the 69:32 corners of the box the top bottom left 69:34 and right sides of the box as seen from 69:37 the Shelf that it may be sitting on or 69:39 on your own shelf once you get it and 69:41 then wraps around and underneath in the 69:43 side of the cover itself I've heard that 69:45 and that we have the option of using 69:47 most games I've seen didn't have this 69:49 option before to have an actual the 69:52 cardboard itself that you will be able 69:53 to see underneath when you turn the box 69:55 lid over will be black which is cool 69:58 very stylish and awesome but you can see 70:01 here we have Dennis's art I actually had 70:03 to with Dennis's permission kind of 70:05 repaint and expand the art because 70:08 beyond the edges of the actual box lid 70:10 itself that there is no art that existed 70:12 and I wanted to carry it over into the 70:14 sides nicely and so to do that I ended 70:16 up painting a little bit extra on the 70:17 sides and Dennis was yeah he was very 70:20 congressional to her he's like oh it 70:22 looks like I did it but so I'm very 70:23 happy because I didn't want to look like 70:26 anything but Dennis is lovely art so you 70:29 see how that works 70:30 and now we can go ahead and get a 70:32 close-up now to see that that will that 70:35 foil stamp that foil collector's edition 70:37 box edition stamp or or I should say 70:40 sticker they get placed on on all of 70:41 these had to be designed in the same way 70:45 the Queen does because essentially it 70:47 produces a thing that you've got a 70:48 really lovely roll full of these 70:50 stickers that are also embossed and like 70:52 the coin it's embossed using this sort 70:54 of black and white design to show what's 70:55 ray up raised and what's not so this is 70:58 the what you all are getting to see 71:00 through all of this is the effort that 71:01 it takes to make all of these 71:04 so many so many have so many hours and 71:09 you know be able to fully appreciate it 71:12 you have to kind of get this quick look 71:13 behind the curtain and hopefully this is 71:16 something that has taught you all a 71:17 little bit about the process that we go 71:18 through and in the end that's what the 71:21 actual seal will look like assuming that 71:23 it comes back nicely from the from the 71:26 people who will actually process the 71:28 gold leaf sort of foiled embossed image 71:32 yeah look it looks really impressive 71:33 this is amazing and we use this as part 71:35 of the promotion for the livestream this 71:38 week and you know I'm good I'm glad that 71:41 you know you were able to come on and 71:43 share with this all of this with the 71:45 community because it's difficult for us 71:47 to sometimes reveal to you the community 71:50 the process for the development of all 71:53 these things especially when it becomes 71:55 a especially when it becomes something 71:58 that's going to be handed to you and in 72:02 a physical format there's extra special 72:04 considerations like the printing colors 72:06 the shipping and the process for there 72:08 making sure it's cost-effective because 72:11 you know we're crowdfunding game and 72:12 this is all made possible by you guys 72:15 and I'm personally impressed with 72:18 everything you've revealed today but I 72:20 think you I do I make it a point to you 72:24 know not really review everything that 72:27 body and others present on here because 72:29 I want to be surprised too and I'm 72:31 definitely oh great and we had a few 72:33 questions about it mm is real quick so 72:35 it looks like the black knight a squire 72:37 the top or a right side upside down the 72:39 reason why is you have to think about 72:41 how they will be seen if they're sitting 72:43 on a shelf so if they're sitting on a 72:45 shelf and you're looking at that top of 72:47 that right side or it's sitting like a 72:50 book in your shelf they need to read 72:52 consistently so so if you're seeing it 72:54 you know top on the on it on its bottom 72:57 then the top up is upside down but it's 73:00 right side up when you see it that way 73:02 likewise a few of the other people are 73:05 saying that the the box looks amazing 73:07 these things look amazing and and I just 73:10 want to say thank you very much I really 73:11 appreciate that you know I'd love to 73:15 spend more time talk 73:16 that stuff but I actually need to get 73:17 back to producing it yeah yeah you have 73:20 a lot of tasks and those spreadsheets oh 73:22 my goodness oh my god and only like a 73:24 handful so far have been addressed most 73:26 of it's been you know a large part of 73:28 this kind of process is communication 73:30 that has to happen between myself by 73:32 people like Ben with the managers here 73:33 who have to help make decisions cuz I 73:35 can't make all them nor shit and when 73:37 they something is printed it's printed 73:39 yeah because we want to make sure you 73:41 guys get you know that everything's 73:44 perfect for it if there's a whole 73:45 measure twice cut once kind of rule 73:47 because once it's out there it's that's 73:49 it it's set in stone so to speak and you 73:52 can't take it back so all of this has to 73:54 be correct and then we have to make sure 73:55 that we get everything correct with the 73:57 manufacturers themselves and sometimes 73:59 there's a language barrier 74:00 you know you know some of these things 74:02 you know people in Germany are helping 74:04 selfless so some of the stuff may be 74:05 manufactured in Germany yeah we got it 74:07 we got a great partners though we've got 74:09 a lot of people that are working on it 74:10 and it is going really well especially 74:12 for the timing straight constraints that 74:14 were under oh yeah launched coming up 74:16 and you know the interesting getting 74:18 these to you as soon as possible 74:19 etc so maybe have you on again as things 74:23 progressed and there's more things you 74:24 want to show sure we have our telethon 74:26 like the next week's telethon on 74:28 February 2nd from 3 7 o'clock Central 74:31 Time and and more that is coming up in 74:34 the next couple of months so stay tuned 74:36 for that 74:36 unless there's other questions that you 74:39 see Scotty I think we'll wrap it up yeah 74:41 I'm not seeing much more but again thank 74:42 you all for checking all the stuff out 74:44 hopefully you enjoyed it and we'll catch 74:46 you again on the flip side once we get a 74:48 little bit more stuff done all right 74:49 Thank You Scotty thank you everybody 74:50 take care everyone 74:59 you
