it's safe it's safe is it safe hey hey everybody Welcome to reverse the verse give us a couple minutes to uh get going we had some rather challenging technical difficulties yeah you could say that fancy live stream box that that we've used for our reverse the verse since we've moved into the studio we've used it for uh citizen con presentations we've used we've used it for a lot of our big live streams uh it it took a dive so um we're still adjusting volumes yes yes yes we know just give us a second guys we're still working it all
00:01:02
out [Music] and it's our last Stitch effort to save the show yeah we're still working this everybody saying we're too quiet at the same time does the same thing sign here we didn't have any chance to test or any any chance to work on any of this before because we were all on the other box the fire was put out about 20 seconds ago still some residual burning let's see ah there we go I told y I was going to be weird yep Tyler go and turn yourself down a
00:01:57
bit um just cuz we don't have the mix that we normally have so we got to do it manually give me a second all right how does that sound guys too loud too quiet let me know all right that should be me they said that sounds good I don't know why there'd be Echo I don't hear any Echo well you're
00:02:46
not gonna uh check the broadcast I can't check the broadcast because if I then it will create an echo okay no it's perfect it's perfect we're good all right should never sing hey guys welcome to reverse the verse it is Friday May 6th 6th May the 6th 2016 uh we're are Community managers here at Robert Space Industries and Cloud Imperium games I'm Jared hugy in this box and I'm Tyler Witkin in this box hi guys oh yeah the room has an echo we're not going to be able to do anything about the room having an echo guys we're just not set up for that it's
00:03:33
a big giant room and uh well we're on a budget you know for I don't have I don't have that problem because I'm in a small box yeah you're in a small box uh if you're just joining us and you've never seen reverse the verse before then you won't have any frame of reference for how terrible this is right now uh uh the intro and all stuff it's all we don't we don't have the normal setup guys we are we are gorilla setting up set up today uh because the fancy live stream box decided to go on Siesta about 30 minutes ago are you at the other desk are you actually sitting in the other part of the uh recording studio yes yes I'm s I'm sitting in our in our little green screen area here uh that has no baffling or anything at the moment because that's all set up for the other stage not that the baffling ever did much good
00:04:25
but all right so reverse the verse is cloud Imperium games weekly informal informal informal live stream with the fans uh we're going to talk a little bit about our weekend review uh talk about uh some cool stuff that's happening this week uh take some questions from the RSI chat and then cry ourselves to sleep on our huge pillows because we both have enormous heads like yes this is true this is true in fact I need your help you we after this we need to talk about the whole Hat Thing the Hat is all crooked I'm we're all disheveled yeah you ever notice like my jacket you know I wear this Jack jacket every day it's it's a favor of mine but when I wear it without any proing or anything I got the the the
00:05:14
Kirk and Star Trek 2 collar thing and it just happens that way it's because of my Hunchback neck or something it doesn't happen to anybody else and I even traded I got some's on my shirt and I I even traded jackets thinking you know it was the jacket but no it's something in my physical body that causes this to happen maybe she we big dudes cuz my collar is kind of doing a similar similar effect so yeah so we can review I you in addition to our terrible setup uh you notice that Ben and Alexis are not here with us uh Ben and Alexis are back east on bement leave um Saturday of last week uh Alexis's father passed away rather suddenly uh so they've been back there um the services
00:06:03
were today this morning uh they have completed the services and uh the viewing was yesterday and we want to send a special thanks to uh the members of redacted uh test Inn and um there was one more oh I'm sorry Clifford I think was the fourth one uh for sending flowers to the viewing uh it was very much appreciated uh they were very very touched yesterday and the list the for the actual four people for the fourth person you can check out Ben's uh Twitter uh he thanked everybody yesterday so my apologies for not remembering the fourth person so it's been a rough week uh to say the least uh Ben and Alexis do a lot around here so uh when when they had to take away suddenly um many of that you know falls
00:06:53
on you know Tyler and I because the uh the ship goes on or the show show goes on rather so uh I disc I discovered just how much ben does in a week having to take over his responsibilities this week in addition to all of my regular ones so uh so yeah uh Ben Alexis uh we love you and uh you can't come back soon enough no they'll be back next Friday uh by the way you did nail it the fourth was Clifford the fourth was Clifford see you done good kid the Alzheimer's hasn't gotten me yet um so uh so that's where there are our weekend review um uh the month uh let's see uh Monday we had r10 for the developers with uh Sean Tracy and Forest Stefan and that episode came late uh because with all the push to 2.4 uh we
00:07:41
did not even get it filmed until Monday at about 1:00 in the afternoon so that was a rush uh edit job uh on Justin's half and a Rush film job on Hennessy's half and thank you to both of them so much for rushing to get that done um you know we uh people often ask uh why don't you do this segment or why don't you do that segment every week or every other week or whatever and it's because we do try very hard not to get in the way of development there's no reason to do all of this that we do if we get in the way of development so we uh we work around their schedules and uh it works out most of the times uh the people we work with are uh are gracious and consider it and they make they carve time when they can for our broadcast for the interviews and the lore makers and you know the behind
00:08:29
the scenes stuff and whatnot but sometimes you know game development is all about priority so they have to prioritize the actual game making over our videos so uh 10 for the developers came a little bit late this week but uh but they always come around to us so thank you again to uh forest and Sean for better late than ever uh Wednesday was a bug Smashers uh if you watch it bug Smashers bug Smashers um I have no idea who recorded that who does the BG species oh it's it's it's they who should not be named no it's just um so that was another one we film that Tuesday Morning Hennessy comes in at the at butt cadon and uh they film that they
00:09:17
film that in the morning so that so yeah again around their schedules stuff like that um Thursday was around the verse we interviewed a sociate character artist Shane hesler uh he's a uh a very beautiful man thank you Shane for being on our show and another L maker with Adam Weiser who is also another beautiful man it was a episode of beautiful men and of course Jeremiah Lee uh another beautiful man no it's the hair I like the hair I I'm not I'm not a fan of Jeremiah's hair I know I'm saying this because I know he's watching right now I Jeremiah no I love Jeremiah uh and he Jeremiah Was handpicked by Sandy when we Sandy and I had our meeting Monday morning about who we were going to have a co-host the show we we we definitely we wanted to do something different uh you know and uh
00:10:07
literally the first name out of her mouth was uh Jeremiah so thank you so much Jeremiah for for doing that show for us he was very very nervous and I think he acquitted himself quite well he is a very friendly guy he made me feel very welcome when I uh was visiting you guys a few weeks ago yeah so and then that BR that brought us to uh a Thursday night when uh patch 2.4 went to PTU so this is the point where I tell uh we had all you know we have the boxes for RTV setup so the bo the boxes that would be you know here so like we move down to where's my 2.4 uh 2.4 is currently on the PTU um there are many posts on our website and uh Reddit and on my Twitter that this is a different PTU or the PTU has a p it's
00:10:56
the same PTU as always uh the what we've done uh for those of you who haven't we've talked about it in several places uh there are posts about it uh in the game support section of our forums which is where you go to find out this kind of information if you're curious uh and we've talked about it on RTV before uh but uh it's the same basically the way PTU process works in its most Layman form is we you develop the patch you get the patch to a certain point you know there's always there's always bugs there's always going to be bugs there's you know there's blockers CR you know moderates all stuff we get rid of the blockers you know we try to have you know a threshold on how many criticals there are but we get we get a patched to a certain point in development and then we put it on PTU and then it sits on PTU while you know we continue to iterate on it and then it
00:11:44
gets to a point where we think it's ready to go live you know so so patch you make it it's all mirrored so patch you make it then it goes to the PTU then it goes to life so what we've done is because 2.4 for is such a huge patch uh most there there's lots of front-facing stuff that that that's cool but but most of it is under the hood because it's such a dynamic important change to the under the hood nature of the game uh it was going to take longer getting it to that point where we would think it would normally be ready for PTU now we have some amazing QA folks some fantastic QA folks uh some just phenomenal QA folks and Tyler and so I'm not QA anymore man are you you can't even you can't even can't even do
00:12:33
that anymore can who going to make fun of on QA now all right so we have we have we have some good Bryce Bryce I don't know I don't know who Bryce is but Bryce you're uh underscore he's probably in chat right now underscore is terrible yeah new Target Target above his head he's my new Target I support this so we have some sry we have some great QA folks but we don't but there's only so many of them there's only so many of them and because this patch has so many changes so many opportunities to cause trouble basically what we've done is we've deputized some of our most Ardent you know testers in the past the folks who have who have contributed uh tons of bug reports issue Council things and not not just a Quant a quantity but a quality level you know folks who have demonstrated an AB a a knack and an ability to properly document and and and
00:13:23
Source all these issues so we've taken a bunch of them and we've deputized them as what you what you hear as evocati you know evocati is an old Roman term for uh soldiers who had served their time in the Roman military and then had been discharged and then were invited back by you know to to to serve voluntarily so so we have basically added an earlier stage to the normal proceedings where these evocati guys are basically deputized QA people which is why they're under NDA and stuff so so they're help they're helping us get to that normal point where we would normally release to PTU faster so it's it's basically the same process that's always been in place there will still be an open PTU to everybody with the first wave second wave all that stuff like that and then a live release what we've done is we've
00:14:10
added another intermediate step before all that so so that we can help get to those points faster because if we didn't have this evoc cotti thing going on right now we still wouldn't be on PTU we wouldn't be on PTU for days weeks however long because we we're not at that point where we would normally release to you yet so they're here to try to get us to that point faster so you know not everybody you so please if you if you see one of them thank them they are working there these are these are guys who are volunteering their time to get this patch out to you guys faster than nor yeah and so far it's been really effective I mean we're getting like the amount of output of testing from these people in activity levels that we we used to get from triple or quadruple the amount of invitees and it's just because of of the way that
00:14:57
we'll set it up in order to to to pull these people in and you know there's a lot of factors that go into it but um it's been going really well we've already gotten a ton of stuff on the uh the PTU issue Council we've already gotten a ton of feedback um it's it's actually going really well M yeah but it's not pre PTU or it's PTU it's the same PTU that we've always used it's same server cluster same process same badges all that stuff it's just we just added one more one more group before so the first isn't the first anymore we we made a small group before for the first that's all we did cuz wrangling you guys is tough there's a lot of you there's a lot of you so we made a more manageable group to get started so we can get to the bigger less manageable groups faster yes thank the brave avocados thanks the brave
00:15:47
avocados what's that like an old western avocado all right so so that's on PT now uh so there there were they're working pretty hard uh we we hit a number of unique bugs just last night last night uh you know folks were spawning in the middle of space and just just spawning like and choking and dying and that was that was fun and stuff so so that's the kind of stuff that uh you're missing out on yeah there's some there's some pretty good ones but yeah we'll talk about them later stuff it's not for the faint of heart I mean there's a lot of there's a lot of frustrating and and I mean you you you'll find yourself blocked often so don't always see it as man this group of people is in they're playing 2.4 and I'm jealous it's like while they are seeing the features they're also trekking through the mud and so it's
00:16:35
yeah for everyone out there who is OCA I know we all really appreciate you so thanks yes uh absolutely no part of what I saw last night was fun uh but you know I'm I'm Me Maybe it's fun for some people sadists but I'm glad you people exist the people tell I could never be a QA person ever ever ever ever ever it's one of those one of those areas that is a much better person than I am and cuz I just don't have the uh the demeanor for it so uh let's see what else happened this week did a lot of work on the monthly report hopefully that'll come later today uh it's technically finished it's all wrapped up uh we just need Chris's approval um and that's a process that uh nobody can predict uh he he'll like some things he'll take he'll not like some things um hey Jeremiah come on
00:17:24
our run you got Jeremiah over there yeah we have J we we some technical problems mhm so we not really set up to have any guests right now what you say hi to lean in a little more go Jeremiah this this is the the host of round the verse 2.30 Mr Jeremiah Le you can see yourself on the screen dude right obviously a broadcast professional so I don't know how you don't I don't know how you don't like that hair this close to you how' you like hosting ATV I'm jealous come on come on Clos here that's a little scary get this is the microphone talking it was scary it was scary what was your favorite part when it was over yeah he was really
00:18:16
happy when it was over oh I was he was like like we like we we finished he said the last thing we said that's it and like a waterfall of sweat just came out he was like he was like like it's like cuz you have you have Sandy gner sitting next to you you have three cameras and you have Jared on my left side like literally going like was fun let's do that one more time I'm like jeez I can't handle it you did you did good you did you did really good uh Sandy did really good too actually Sandy stepped your game up I thought yes she she she she was flying she had she had some zingers that didn't quite make it to the to the show because you know they were couched in profanity but uh she was awesome so yeah so we won't ever ask you to do that
00:19:06
again so not CU you were bad but because you did your term we got a lot of people to go through the office so we'll spread the wealth but thank you so much um what are you working on right now nothing you can talk about right squash 42 but but the Marines are all done and approved yeah the new Marines look yeah yeah so Omar and Shane are working on that right now so I'm really excited to see them running around yeah you see that uh the BDU that Shane made in the turn looks so good yes I mean he's he's new he's not supposed to be that good that's so we had him on the interview this week that BDU was I know I know it's just a BDU I know it's just a BDU but for whatever it just looks so I mean
00:19:55
you could swear when you were looking at it you could swear the cloth was moving yeah it's I don't know the technical aspects of it I don't know what goes into actually implementing it in the game but whatever whatever they did was fantastic no I mean like the reason why he had to do that was because we're testing the uh the itemization thing where we just layer stuff on top and put components and stuff and so we needed a base suit and so uh we were like we could use the BD what we already have or we do one that's a more badass looking one I can say badass right this is the internet I can say badass badass badass looking one um and so I actually I think about 3 days or or a day before Shane uh came in the office Omar was like dude this this this looks weird can you just do a concept real quick and so I spent
00:20:44
about a day doing the concept and day one when Shane came in the office I'm like yo do this now it's like oh hi nice to meet you no shut up go on zbrush sculpt this thing and we talked about that in the ATV interview actually so he was like yeah he was he he hit the ground run in day one mhm mhm oh we don't mess around well I'm except for right now yeah we're messing around right now no things are going really well yeah if you guys hope to get any information or knowledge out of this ATV I apologize ahead of time it's not it's not going to be your normal at or RTV oh can disco and jeremi Morphin to one can we do the Dragon Ball Z I've never seen Dragon Ball Z I I know I know two he looks so disappointed from Star Trek Voyager two are you hearing this how do we how do we

00:23:10
but he said no bye so bye Jeremiah under the bus so things are going great Jared this is this is this is smooth this is the best episode of RTV ever um hey where did my logo go I had a logo up here where there it is ah nice we we're in a we were in a hurry guys I I put this together in like three minutes after the show was supposed to already start because the uh the live stream box died this morning so uh pour went out for the live stream box so we'll have to see what we're uh what we're going to do from now on but uh yeah so uh 2.4 is on the PTU uh so they're testing now that's where we left
00:23:59
off uh other than that uh work continues a pace the prospector sale closed up this week uh that was fantastic um it's always nice to you know we have a pretty good we have we have a pretty good we've done this long enough now and done enough of these sales that we're pretty good at at being able to predict ahead of time you know what a thing is going to sell and and whatnot and uh this one was really close to right it was actually it was actually like we we sold I think the the projection was like 2% more than we anticipated so I mean it was really close it was like right on with what we expected the prospector to do so that that's very cool um uh the next uh uh concept sale uh as we mentioned last week will be the buccaneer so the Drake Buccaneer uh will
00:24:48
be later this month I don't have a specific date yet um but that's coming um the concept is pretty much wrapped up we're just uh we're just nailing out some details and finalizing some design decisions but uh I think it's pretty cool it looks kind of like if I had to remember when Ben used to do the drawings of the ships I could do that right now but I don't have a paper just m paint it or or a pen actually I think that'd be hilar I would love to see you Ms paint what you think the buccaneer looks like I'm terrible at Ms paint um yeah so I'm sorry that didn't go anywhere what about the Orion for the Shuan mining uh contest when it's it's obviously we've been sidetracked a little bit with uh
00:25:36
the B the bement leave um uh covering Ben and Alexis right now uh is pretty taxing so I'll be real honest and say I'm not all that anxious to go through it would ended up being nearly 30,000 entries uh so we will get to it uh we're just a little delayed right now guys but we will get to it we want to make sure that we give you know as many people as we can they're due and stuff like that so it is closed uh we have your entries they're they're saved uh we just got to go through and uh pick five winners and the people who who it's not going to be who's best you know that's not a quantifiable thing not we're not going to sit here and say these are the five best it's going to be the five entries that that move the needle for us that Intrigue us that that that that that Peak our our curiosity the ones that
00:26:25
resonate with us it's going to be tough I read I read one page yeah one page and I couldn't I couldn't pick I was just like this is going to be so hard yeah the way it's really going to work is is you know we'll all probably read through and Tyler will pick his one and I'll pick my one and Ben will pick his one and Alexis will pick her one and then you know we'll have a number two and we vote between the number two is probably exactly how that's going to go so and we won't tell you who's was whose favorite because I'm just mean um um what's next uh my week a bye what my week no I don't care um also this week uh geek Domo got out of the hospital yeah so uh uh congrats geek Domo his his uh his uh geek super awesome a
00:27:15
well-known member of our community and a streamer and whatnot and a Creator or co-creator involved in the creation of brainbot which is a very popular twitch bot um he had he had his uh surgery on his heart this week and came out of the other side okay uh so he's uh my understanding is that he's I think he's broadcasting from his couch or something cuz you know can't stop won't stop so uh if you get a chance check out geek Doo and give him your best so yay it's a bit of a Melancholy week guys yeah it was really cool though if you saw the uh his his Twitter on the day that he he went into surgery it was there was so much support and love it was really awesome oh I just realiz I just realize my Mouse shows up here do you have on your nose there what you
00:28:02
have on your nose there what's going on there oh Sor all right so this is the time on the [Laughter] show when we take questions from the RSI chat so if you like to ask a question for either Tyler or myself you can go to robertsspaceindustries.com community/ chat and join the general tab ask your question there preface your question with the word question in capital letter surrounded by brackets and we'll maybe pick it out and answer it um keep in mind we're not surrounded by designers and artists and stuff here so uh uh there's probably going to be quite a bit of questions that we're just not equipped to answer so consider who you're asking when you ask a question and you have a better chance of it
00:28:50
actually getting asked and even answered so question right off the bat from Arthur Dent he says can you put the small subscriber ship models as examples in the ship sales kiosk uh that is actually something we have discussed uh it's obviously you know not a priority uh but it is but you will be able to buy some variant or version of those subscriber models ingame for in-game money uh we haven't decided whether it's going to be the exact same model or whether it's going uh that exact same model with with the same skin or if it's going to be the same model with a slightly different you know coloring or whatnot uh kind of like if you look at the uh the M50 that is a subscriber reward and that is also a stretch goal reward the same ship with different uh
00:29:38
libraries that is probably what we will do the subscribers will have the ship with one library and then you'll be able to go to the store and buy the same ship with a different library now that's been on the plans for quite some time uh just not near ready to implement yet uh elastum asks will Austin Texas be the center for game support agents or will we see them in other Studios uh we already have game support agents in multiple Studios uh we have uh will Levert runs out of the Austin Studio we also have Chris dens uh dens right dens Chris danks yeah right Chris stins uh out of our UK studio and uh you know as as the need arises uh the teams will build up in both places around them uh there's even uh I suppose there's even
00:30:26
room for it to grow in a in uh Frankfurt as well uh as they they just added they're just getting ready to add another they're in the process of adding another floor to that uh Studio because they're growing so fast so probably not here in LA because I don't know where they put they probably put them where I'm sitting right now and I don't want that so I'm gonna fight stay out of my area I just have no idea I have no idea about La but they're already they already exist in Austin and uh the UK I think they're hiring in Austin as well oh yeah we're hiring in all the St we're ramping up so I've had to do I've been one of the things I've been doing this week is interviews for uh marketing artists artists people to help uh uh improve basically our overall presentational list you know one of the
00:31:13
tough things for us is we always get these ideas oh we could do we could do this kind of thing we could add this to this segment or or that to that segment or put this in this post and and the hard part is like well who's going to draw it who's going to create it and it usually Falls to me but I'm not very good I'm kind of an about this stuff so it's the word for it I'm not going to apologize for it nobody's arguing with you so you know you know I do all I do all this stuff you know like the overlays and the Star Citizen graphic there and the in the corner you know was all me and stuff like that but it's a it's not Talent it's sheer force of will and refusing to go to sleep that gets it done so it would be much better if we had an actual artist who had talent and skill and knew what they were doing to do it instead of us um uh just answered questions on the
00:32:03
Orion contest that's what we were just talking about um we'll pick we'll start picking the winners once Ben and Sandy are back or Ben and Alexis are back and they come back Friday next week so we probably got about another two weeks before we start picking the winners for um we're not going to answer questions about content for 2.4 because the folks testing 2.4 are under NDA and uh it's just it's just there's a bunch of stuff in it right now uh but as you know the stuff that they we can make work will be in it for the live release and stuff that we can't make work will come out uh similar to how the you know the Eva system used to be in like 2.1 back in the day and stuff so we don't want to talk about it yet until we know you know definitively what's in there because what's in there now may not be what's in there when it comes time to go to live
00:32:50
so so rather not get everybody's hopes up for stuff this point all right Tyler what did you do this week they apparently care about it all right yeah okay uh you picked it well actually I picked it
00:34:03
no I've just muted you from the moment you started talking your mic's back on now though Tyler tell us about your week Tyler Tyler no don't go don't go Tyler tell us about your week Tyler tell us about your week Tyler Tyler the worst you're the worst you're the worst human I've ever known that's am I still muted no you're life okay I'm kind of happy you muted me because I was you were terrible I was like I didn't know where I was going with what I was saying so that's good so tell us about your Tyler succinctly you know what I don't know if I really was muted now I'm
00:34:50
thinking I wasn't muted and you're trying to make me say everything twice no now they can hear you they could not hear you before okay you tell them about your week or what we've spent so much so much it was it was it was it was a busy week it was an eventful week um I I helped out preparing the monthly report I've been doing a lot of screenshot gathering for marketing for 2.4 for the monthly report um for for various Comm links and and what have you I took over social media this week so now I am running the Twitter Instagram and Facebook which is a lot of trying to be witty when you're not uh which can be a challenge um the ATV intro and the MVP this week uh the the we are we are Voltron by anaros Waka and Jeff Craig um got that already um what
00:35:42
else uh I go through the Forum Bay appeals also other related Community tickets that come in in regards to Studio tours or marketing stuff for what have you um a lot of meetings talking about future plans for Community for for segments for um how live releases are going to affect community and supporting those in any way that I can and uh yeah so just a bunch of you know the normal stuff and bunch of very unsexy stuff that we have to do every single week just for maintenance uh speaking of that Voltron video um uh people often ask you know one of the most frequent questions I guess is how do we how do I get something on ATV you know since we started putting band videos on and my answer is always the same do something
00:36:30
that most other people aren't you know it's it's if we're going to highlight if we're if we're if we're you there's so many videos there's so many videos and if we're going to take one one and highlight it every single week it's got to be A Step Above the Rest it's got to be doing something that's unique something that's different something that not everybody can just log into the game and see so you know if if you went around in an arena commander and you killed and you you cleared bendal in you know in a record time or something that's cool I'm not diminishing your accomplishment it's just we have many videos like that you know of that nature and stuff so we're looking for stuff that's different stu stuff that's unique stuff that uh the term is emergent gameplay you know it's it's it's stuff that we didn't anticipate you guys doing for instance that that's the stuff that
00:37:18
moves the needle for us Sergeant Sergeant Gamble's uh bowling with ships last week I mean there's a there's a there's a lot of cool stuff that people do they find ways to to make fun out of what that what they have and it's that stuff is is awesome like we love that stuff that's that's fast track to MVP we want to see more of that stuff yeah you know Star Citizen when all of a sudden and done you know it's it's a the largest it's going to be the largest sandbox in creation so you you guys are going to be are are going to be what makes start citizen whatever start citizen becomes so we like seeing the stuff that you guys make of it so Perry cat or per per kitty cat five per kitty cat five per kitty cat what asks the election Polo and L piece was cool can we continue with more political lore please and thanks uh
00:38:07
almost certainly um that's entirely up to the writing team um they are uh they're they're a bit uh wrapped up in Squadron 42 stuff at the moment but um we had actually just disc I just discussed with uh Adam and Sherry uh earlier this week on Monday about eventually you know when things kind of settle down for them and all back in one place cuz Dave hadock and the will Weiss bomb are out in the UK as they're getting ready for more pickup shot shooting for squ 42 uh we talked about doing a model un basically where we have uh Sherry Adam uh will and uh and Dave uh all pick a planet a system to represent in a crazy model un and just to show you the different politics that are going on within the Star Citizen Universe uh don't know if it'll ever
00:38:55
happen but uh it's one of those things it's one of those things we're kicking around so I think it'd be fun it's just a question of whether it' be more embarrassing than fun or not because unlike reverse the verse today most things we do we try to make it look at least somewhat presentable in stuff so it's a matter of whether we can pick we can pull it off or not uh hendle asked do you have any more imagery or information about the ATV fast forward Javelin Escape pod uh no more imagery because that was all the imagery I there was like eight or nine photos in that whole montage there um that's all the imagery we have uh that is the escape bot for the uh Aegis uh Javelin um it's just uh they're they're you know the different people on the teams work on on on ships at different points you know so there there there's a group of
00:39:42
people that have moved on from the Idris because their particular work is done on the Idis and they're on to the javelin now uh While others continue their work on the Idris uh so and so one of the things that they've completed was the Escape pod uh it we it was cool it was unique we hadn't seen it before um so you we decided to show it um you know the fast forward that you know the art sneak peak and we'll talk a little bit here about you know the evolution from the art sneak peak to the fast forward the art sneak peak you know was always here's one image two or three images at best you know of some random thing sometimes it was a prop you know it was whatever you know we were you know production had cleared to go out like it's one of those things again people are like why don't you just show this and this because there's a process because uh when we we try to show things that we know are at least close to being
00:40:33
final you know we always put work in progress and all there because nothing is guaranteed you know to be that way you know to the Finish game but we do try our best not to play with your emotions and show you something that we absolutely know is going to change uh or show you something that we're not at least comfortable with that won't you know even if it changes it won't change too much so you know it's always identifying those things and then and then you know what you know if they're Squad 42 related obviously we try to lay off them most times uh because we're really trying to preserve that game experience for you um yeah then then it's just we have to it has to come across our desk too it has to be something that we even find and notice because a lot of people think you know our job is sitting here we don't just sit here looking at our work all day you know like we we do that for like an hour after work at from
00:41:20
home because we never get a chance to do it at work um but yeah the the the javelin is cool the the fast forward I was never happy you know just doing here's an image here's an image here's an image you know the fast forward we're able to explore you know the work the audio team is doing and the work you know and the work the AI guys are doing and the work the animation guys are doing uh that that great um that great video in last month's monthly report with the Eva transitions the guys going from you know uh running to ragd doll to Collision what not that was going to be that I had that set up for a fast forward and then we decided to throw it into the uh to the uh monthly report instead so we lost that as a fast forward but you know everything goes into every all places so yeah so fast forward I like it
00:42:09
a lot I think it's uh it's evolved quite a bit um I don't know if we're going to be we we've had a good run here like eight of them I don't know if we're going to be able to do it for every single episode um because it's always a struggle every week getting you know something put together for it but we've got at least I've got at least like I've got a three-part one coming up uh the next three weeks is going to be a uh is going to see it in three parts you're going to see the first third the second third and third thir and the third third of a much larger uh bit and it's uh our pipes system and it sound you know you go pipe system o you know but it's actually pretty pretty interesting uh especially if you have any interest in the uh development of games so yeah Javelin Escape bot that's what that was rebas says how is CI working out is it better having so many of you Under
00:42:55
One Roof uh it's the same team that's always been here uh I mean we've added new people uh but uh we combined with our West Hollywood office which was Administration stuff you know ortwin and so of our human resources and stuff like that so you know it's neat it's neat you know having them here because you've never partied until you've partied with you know the a com troller those are crazy people those com trollers uh but uh they actually work in my area um so I see them a lot but um yeah no it's this is still you know this is my third 37th job my 37th job with an I9 and a W2 official like this and it's easily without any in any consideration without any quantification the best job I've ever had so I'm thrilled to be here and I like I like almost everybody I work with I think everybody I work with here
00:43:45
there some people in Austin I'm not crazy about um it's mutual uh Syrian asks asks carrot sale anytime too carrot why would you want to buy a carrot carrot sale anytime soon and then rivlin follows him up with any news on carrot all these questions about a carrot oh is that our exploration carrot they're talking about I don't think so exploration did you really just have a carrot on your deck was that real I wasn't even looking at the screen I just heard the
00:44:35
carrot I'm uncomfortable oh what's going on uh minion Soldier says when we see more on the cutless remodel when the cutless remodel happens it hasn't begun yet uh if you go back to our shipshape article that we uh that we released uh back in November uh we detailed all the work up to where it's at and it's still been there uh the reason the basically the way the way this works is that every time we make a ship we learn more you know this's this misconception you know it's not a misconception it's an assumption that I don't think anybody would have if they actually you know spent time you know dealing with it for any period of time that we have all the answers at the beginning we don't that's why it's game development and not game construction you know we're developing the thing
00:45:24
we're learning our own processes we're we're learning how to make you know 50 60 70 80 ships that could all be the hero asset in in a Mass Effect game or something so we're learning how best to do that and every time we build a ship we learn more so you know we we redid the Hornet uh twice we redid the consolation three times we redid the freelancer a couple times what we've learned is that you know every is that you learn more every ship so now instead of if we rebuilt the cut list now basically we would rebuild it with the information that we have now which is this much if we wait and build all the different types of ships first the explorers and the miners and
00:46:13
all these other ships where we wait and we build all these other ships first and we learn all the lessons that we learn from building all these other types of ships and then we go back and do the remodel then we remake the cutless with this much information and ultimately you get a better ship for it so the short answer to where is the cutless remodel now is it's not being remodeled now the same way the 300 isn't being remodeled now the same way the uh Aurora isn't being remodeled now because we are in the process of learning from all these other new ships that we're doing so that when we go back to remodel them we have a greater repository of information and experience and we can just do it the way that we want to do it and do it the best way the right way you know whatever that happens to be so I know it sucks that waiting sucks it's terrible I'm an
00:47:03
impatient person is one of the reasons I could never be QA but the weight will mean an ultimately better ship built by more experienced people and built with greater knowledge and resources so it'll ultimately be a better thing so that's why we're not rushing into the remodels right now bo bo bo can the members of evocati get a special patch for their hanger maybe it it's this might be the only time we use evocati it's don't know let's let's see how it all goes you know if people keep uh you know breaking their NDA probably
00:47:52
not so you guys have control you guys can determine whether whe this is a thing that we continue to do or not so maybe if we continue to do it possibly uh M M M M asks how hard did you hit the wall during the April Fool's dance um well let me answer that one let me answer that one sure that so I I was approached by a handful of people that asked if that was a scripted event So Not only was that not scripted but the entire fact that we were dancing in front of a green screen was about 5 minutes of an idea before it actually happened they stood us in front of the green screen and said all right dance and then Justin was like well we need
00:48:40
music and so he started playing no no hold on hold on am I muted no you're not muted I swear am I muted right now dude you are not muted okay that was the hold I muted you after I said you weren't muted now now you're not muted start from Justin started Justin said you need music help me guys please uh yeah so Justin played music on his phone and it was the most authentic and genuine reaction to Jared I don't even know what you were thinking he just flew across the frame slammed so hard into it this thing is like it's this it's this thing it's the same wall that's behind me now it's it's huge it's like how tall is uh they are they are 8T tall and 12T wide yeah the
00:49:30
whole thing moved like 5et everyone was worried about you that's why we all ran over immediately to make sure that you were okay everybody did that was good I I have lots of cushion yeah no none of this was planned the uh uh the entire April Fool's gag came together in three days we had nothing Tuesday afternoon and this thing had to go out Friday morning so you know it was Tuesday afternoon I hadn't I had incredibly bad idea and I'm like this is this no this is bad we don't have the time to do it we don't have the resources to do it oh but it's so good no it's so bad and so I went into Ben's office specifically to have him talk me out of it and told him you know hey you know profession career you know food delivery and he just goes he goes let's do it and those are the three worst
00:50:19
words that I can ever hear because whenever Ben says let's do it it means I'm not going to sleep for the next 3 days so and that's basically what that was so it worked out I liked it uh uh Max Sentinel says can you plug the interview you did recently stumbled across it by accident the other day I need much more information than that yeah I don't know St man's interview I can't plug that because I don't know what you're talking about um I see walkapedia in chat grats on MVP sir uh Wrath of regicide says will there be a revamp in the future so the Vanguard is more similar to its concept model possibly there's I when I say possibly it's because I'm not ruling it out as
00:51:08
I'm not saying that there's any plans to do it I'm saying that you know this all happens on a wheel you know we're going through all the individual ships right now and there'll be a point where you know we where the right resources free up that you know we'll sit there and say okay now some people go back and look at the existing ships and see what we need to and what we need to fix and keep in mind that what there's what you guys think we need to fix which in itself is there's what you know there there there there's there's what the guys in Inn think needs to be fixed versus the guys in redacted what they think needs to be fixed versus the guys in test what they needs to be fixed and even within their orgers there's different people so I mean every there's there's a thousand different ideas about what needs to be fixed and there's no way to fix all of them because some of the fixes for one would inherently fly in the face of others so there's all the disparaging ideas of what needs to be done in the
00:51:56
community and then there's the same here there's people here this designer thinks we should do this and this designer thinks we should do that ultimately it always comes down to Chris so the ships will be what Chris wants them to be you know if you remember that old uh for those of you who you know who've been around for a while you remember that old why I pledged video that I did like two years ago or whatever you know you know I said when I pledged I didn't do it so Chris Roberts had to answer to me you know I pledged so that I could help Chris Roberts make the game he wants wants to make in the way that he wants to make it and I still believe that so so as long as Chris is happy with it I'm happy with it so we'll see basically that that the short answer is I just don't know it's possible is there is there a delay yeah
00:52:48
like between between you and me I mean no like on Skype no okay I'm just not looking at Skype no I'm just making sure that way if we ever want to sing together that it will be in sync I recall um uh china shop Rodeo not bad not bad china shop Rodeo says how' you like the reveal from thrustmaster with their updated flight stick and throttle Set uh I saw some pictures on Twitter I didn't see the the actual presentation of this week has been you know kind of under the bus but uh um it looks like semi flashier versions of the stuff that you know have already got in line which you know makes sense uh that's been our experience you know when we you know we go around and we asked all the hotas manufacturers hey you're interested in making something new and different and crazy and most of them
00:53:37
said not really so you know it make it doesn't surprise me that their new stuff is very similar to what's come before I'm sure it'll be good thrustmaster makes good stuff should we do our looking ahead now we got some place to be no okay I'm just I'm being it's my my production mindset I'm like it's two is it paying attention well two it's two here it's noon there snowman 127th asks can we custom paint our ships and or armor uh that is our hope and intention at some point later on uh there's been lots of discussion of a paint system for ships and and possibly something similar for armors uh it's just right now we're still building the ships and we're still
00:54:25
building the armors so it's a it's just a horse before the cart thing so we're not we're not there at that point yet to know whether that's going to be something that we can implement or not but it was definitely it's something we've said many times that we would like to do that we are interested in doing and that we will absolutely pursue uh Lando will you do an ATV interview with Mickey Oliver in Foundry 42 probably maybe I don't know we're it's we're going to we're spending a week in uh Manchester in August after Gamescom so I'm sure we'll get many people there all the footage but that's in August and we're in March so do a Flash
00:55:16
Forward where you just mash the camera into Ben's schnaz I saw that I don't get it yeah china shop Rodeo I was behind you for a second there now we're now we're done it's it's also a fast forward not a Flash Forward Flash Forward Flash Forward Flash Forward was that TV show that was absolutely I I don't want to talk about it it had that one girl on it that I thought was I enjoyed the show it's just that it ended before it ended because it ended and that pissed me off because I never got to know what happened show me the carrot again I don't even that's just weird how long has that carrot been there I don't know I don't need carrots either just sticking in my
00:56:19
ear can't tell you what's going on in 2.4 so stop asking uh smacky the frog says if youa are providing a ton of value and some are breaking NDA can we just keep the avocati and get rid of the NDA no because we the inmates don't run the ship and we don't not do a thing because some people are misbehaving inmates he called you inmates Lando how is your girl doing after the accident I hope she is all good I have no idea what you're talking about uh I
00:57:06
have no girl Lando is a you got me single solit lonely old man so I don't know what you're talking about you're not completely alone you always have Ben and I how is Chris as a boss phenomenal I love working for Chris A lot of people are a lot of people are you know intimidated by Chris and whatnot and I love just going up to him and saying incredibly stupid things or showing him stupid things like my jar jar tongue sucker thing from 199 oh yeah and he gives me this look he gives me this look that like it doesn't say a word he looks at me you know he it's it's it's
00:57:57
it's the Chris stare and the it's the Chris stare that says every decision involved in the hiring of you was a mistake and I love getting that look from him so I I uh I try to get that look from him as much as possible I got to be me you know I was an actor for so many years I just here this only works this only works if I'm me this only you know you got to be able to believe the things that are coming out of my mouth you got to be able to to to trust that I'm telling you you know the truth as I know it when I know it when I'm saying it and stuff like that the only way to do that is to be me so I got to be me and that means being mean to Tyler sometimes because I love Tyler and he doesn't yeah no I I do I'm uncomfortable showing my emotions you know how this works the day that you
00:58:46
truly love me you will overcome that uncomfort and you will approach me and you will tell me how you really feel that hasn't happened in 40 years with anybody else so it it probably won't happen here have to start somewhere no I don't I want to start somewhere I I want to be your Juliet I like who I am I like being me um you always you have toast as well you have an awesome friendly roommate you have toast y yeah I know we're still going to go a little bit longer we we started late and so like that so we're trying I'm going to try to give people their money's worth here get some more questions and Justin was like hey can you stop the show because I'm recording it over here and I can't work when I'm recording it so like like oh now is the time you want to work now is the time you want to work I'm going to try to get some more
00:59:34
questions for these guys could you know try to get them some uh uh yeah ask some questions people come on people do you realize it's may see that's an important question to get through uh yes that's why I've been working on the April monthly report for the last two days because April showers bring May flowers but do you know what May Flowers bring what pilgrims uh don't know if gmach is working on the Carri next I don't know what gmach schedule is um multiplayer hang hang hang multiplayer hanger modules um is something that comes after a persistence is totally up and running so it's it's
01:00:22
on the list it's just again it's it's it hasn't been a priority because everybody's hanger is pretty much the same now that we've started to give you uh now that we're working on the hanger decoration system and working on persistence and stuff you know we get those stuff going and then it would it makes sense to do multiplayer hangers after that no ETA I'm not going to give you any when answers guys um Lando would you do another Mass Effect live stream probably not um I'm a little disappointed in Mass too right now um not necessarily in the gameplay the gamep play is is great the graphics are amazing Miranda's butt is like something people will write songs about if they haven't already uh you know I'm
01:01:10
behind I'm assuming that the song's exist uh it's just I'm not real I I I I'm not a big fan of how simplified they made the the morals you know I played Mass Effect one I played Mass Effect one legitimately as me making the decisions that I would I feel I would make in the real thing and I didn't discover a paragon point for the first seven hours and I got one by accident I'm like what what's a paragon Point uh you know so I played Renegade you but Renegade wasn't evil in the first one it was just pragmatic it was just I don't have time for your I'm trying to save the Galaxy which I agreed with uh uh so I was really happy with that in the first game and then the second game my character's got a red crackly face and and and Darth Maul eyes and stuff and I'm like what it's like oh you're know you're you're evil if you're Renegade
01:01:57
I'm like that's garbage so I really didn't like the simp the the oversimplification of the the morality in Mass Effect and 2 so I haven't finished Mass Effect 2 I I I played it for a while started collecting some people and then it kind of fell off because I mean the game the game itself and every other aspect is better than the first it's just the story wasn't nearly as it just I just I wasn't feeling it I'll get back to it eventually uh stormfire can you take a moment and quickly explain what the NDA is to some I did that at the beginning of the show um so I'm sure it'll be in a uh in a uh transcript or this show will be up on YouTube you watch I've Got You Babe I Got You Babe they say our love won't fade
01:02:48
away you got me and baby I got you I'm not warmed up will you and Ben ever have a privateer stream yes uh we do their 25th anniversary streams so we will do them for the when the 25th anniversary for whatever Wing Commander the wing Commander related game comes up so I don't pay attention to it Ben just comes to me like three days and three days before and goes it's the 25th anniversary of this and I go and then I don't sleep for three days as I set up uh Lando May hanger flare please uh that's really for Alexis to share it's it's it's her thing I don't want to step on it although honestly I think she said what it was in last week's show and I just don't remember so you may want to
01:03:35
check last week's show available on YouTube now she did say what it was I remember yeah it seems like it seems like a thing it was a thing she even yeah she did uh is it possible to call a cig studio and take a short tour uh basically the way that we arrange tours is through our CS ticket system uh which is on the website you can go to contact us it's at the lower right hand corner and uh send in a ticket to CS indicate which studio you'd like to visit uh these visits happen on specific days at specific times uh I'll be real honest and tell you you don't get to pick when the qu the tour is there's just too many requests if if we let people pick when the tour would be there would be a tour every single day
01:04:25
so what we do is we basically we we take one day one time every couple months and we say this is when we're doing the tour and and folks who can make that tour we we we let in so uh you can you can do that by the contact us at the bottom uh just keep in mind that you know it has it it just has to be on our schedule it just it just has to be it becomes an untenable uh nightmare otherwise so the the people that are like hey I'm in Austin for two days can I get a tour chances are statistically speaking the tour is not going to be those two days yep and I promise you if you show up at our front door unannounced with a gift I will take your gift and then close the door I have done it before I will do it again please do not show up unannounced it's not cool in real life it's not cool in business it's it's we love you we we
01:05:15
will work with you to get you in here it's just there there's got to be some rules there's got to be some guidelines because it has to be manageable and we take a liability when we bring people in here so there's just many cons considerations that there's that most people never take CU you don't need to it's our job to take those considerations but it's a process please Savage please follow no I'm just I'm just picturing some guy at your front door who opens he's like I brought you Tiff streets a box of cookies and you just stare at him take the cookies and slam the door in his face walk back to your desk eating a cookie no that actual scenario happened and what I did was I you're the worst no no I stayed out there and I ate the cookies in front of him you're the worst I hung out with him outside the outside the the thing for like 15es did you talk to him yeah did you I hung out with him outside for 15 minutes you know I gave him my time I
01:06:04
gave him my time but I can't do the studio he gave you his cookies yeah I can't do the studio on any uh when will the new ask Forum start up uh they are open now uh you can post your questions now uh it's like I said it's the same way the the 10 for the developers got late it's just everybody's been in this 2.4 crunch right now so uh as soon as as soon as we let up from the 2.4 crush a bit you'll see more devs in there hopefully disco can we have your dad as an NPC please uh no um are we going to have f7a skin sale no that was a onetime thing I think for for
01:06:52
for the charity I don't think we have plans for to do it again well I know we don't have plans to do it again but uh I don't think we will have new plans to do it again later uh did my chat die there there it is I'm at the end of questions so what do you have coming up soon Mr Jared uh monthly report today um assuming Chris gives me my approvals um month report um this weekend um got some private stuff not going to talk about it's private I'll be there uh you're streaming with Captain

01:09:16
