Uadjet says: Hello and welcome to the Developer's Q&A! This is an out-of-character meeting where you can hear about the development of the game and ask the Dev and GM teams any questions you might have. If you do have any questions, please line up at the lecterns in front of the stage.
Uadjet says: On the dais today is Mordaan, of the Settings Team...
Uadjet says: And me, of the GM Team.
Uadjet says: Now we've already got a person with a question, so ask away! Fliks?
Fliks says: when PSunrel is relesed will this server continue to run?
Mohonin says: do you mean all your data will be saved and ported to unreal?
Fliks says: that as well as this world
Fliks says: for exsample my computer wont run UNreal
Migg says: So if PS CS will still work
Gonger says: You mean, will the current PS version keep running?
Fliks says: yes
Mordaan says: I think the idea is once PSUnreal is ready to fully take over, it will replace this version of the game.
Fliks says: oh ok in that case i wont be able to play anylonger
Hulla says: ( hello i think your computer can use unreal perhaps not your video card )
Fliks says: my vidio card is part of my computer
Mordaan says: Up to Talad, ultimately. But I'm not sure if he will want 2 servers running concurrently.
Uadjet says: I upgraded my vid card last year fairly cheaply. It's not a great card, but it runs Unreal 4 just fine.
Mordaan says: Though we did have that once.
Migg says: would also mean players in different servers will not be able to interact
Gonger says: What we did have were two instances of the same version
Migg says: yes, the non-RP server
Migg says: think the other server was hosted in US
Gonger says: Fliks, try to check which part(s) of your computer are problematic, and how much an upgrade would cost...
Hulla says: i think he use a laptop
Fliks says: its and old computer to put a new card in i would have to upgrade the whole thing
Fliks says: na my laptop cant even run this game
Gonger says: To the team: Will the UE version require much more computer power?
Gonger says: I am not an expert there...
Thoraro says: Had to up date my comp just to play
Damola says: The current server is still running with my employer. I might be able to get a second virtual machine for PSunreal.
Gonger says: I meant, more computer power on the client side
Migg says: the demo runs at lower FPS on my computer
Gonger says: For people like Fliks with old machines
Migg says: idk about the alpha
Uadjet says: My computer is pretty old, but it doesnt' seem to require that much to me. Granted, I'm not getting 60+ fps, but it runs well and I only freeze up for a few seconds when the game is loading the Amdeneir map. Big city, lots of trees and foliage, etc.
Migg says: how much ram in it?
Fliks says: wow my computer would not survive that CD it struggles with the game Minecraft
Jeranenie says: Yes, Unreal Engine requires a modern graphics processor I believe UR4 requires Directx12 support
Uadjet says: I keep meaning to upgrade that. I've got 4 Gigs of RAM, at least until I go to my local store and buy more. I keep putting that off...
Migg says: good to know it runs on 4G
Migg says: but then I guess Win10 won't run on anything less than that either
Harither says: i run alpha on a 7 year old comp 16 ram 2 grafic card and it i can run alph for testing.. at some places i get below 30 fps
Migg says: wow
Jeranenie says: Uadjet do you remember your Graphic card model ?
Fliks says: my computer is 10 years
Fliks says: well around
Harither says: im nto sure about how much optimized the client is yet.
Damola says: Harither which gfx card?
Uadjet says: It's a 650 Ti
Damola says: okay, quite old
Damola says: It did not work on ThinkPad T520 here, cause required Vulkan on Linux. With OpenGL it could work.
Harither says: gtx
Damola says: Or with a slightly newer ThinkPad, but probably going to buy a completely new laptop with AMD Ryzen Zen 2 or later anyway… and that will be more than enough.
Fliks says: i use Linux devuan
Damola says: Nice, I have Devuan as well
Uadjet says: I used to play this with a 9800
Damola says: Well this laptop is still Debian, but with elogind, but all my other machines are Devuan
Damola says: any news regarding PSunreal?
Mordaan says: Talad had another live stream today.
Uadjet says: He's been quite busy, as usual.
Uadjet says: He got impersonate working, including animations! Had the NPC do a 'trimph" animation, and it worked perfectly.
Mordaan says: yeah, a 10+ hour stream yesterday
Uadjet says: That'll be great for events.
Mohonin says: Wow!
Migg says: Uadjet always triumphs!
Uadjet says: Talad's been working on a lot of bugfixes for the next alpha.
Uadjet says: Lots of bugfixes.
Damola says: I really admire Talad's dedication.
Mohonin says: oh my
Gonger says: He said something like, A few more days for the next alpha.
Uadjet says: But he's also worked on getting money exchange working, and there are a few streams on allowing people to rotate items when placing them in the world.
Mordaan says: ooh, nice
Harither says: well the tester probably find more bugs to be fixed with a whole lot implemented.
Uadjet says: Talad is thoroughly dedicated. I mean, what did he do when he got tired of fixes and needed a break? He built us a brand new village! Buildings, livestock, plants, etc.
Mordaan says: 
Uadjet says: We'll be having a test event in PSU in the near future, and that'll be where it will take place.
Mohonin says: :-))
Harither says: he fixyed withdraw items from the bank and enabled crafting books with a bit changed view of crafting.
Mohonin says: Wow! very nice
Mordaan says: The quest system isn't really working well yet, is it? I haven't even tried any.
Harither says: not sure.
Harither says: he did a hell of a lot stuff..Talads stream were up to 10h...
Uadjet says: Last I checked, you clicked on an NPC to check for dialog, and something like five minutes later got a system message saying that had nothing to say to you.
Mordaan says: So that's one area that still needs work. But still, little by little all the pieces are coming together.
Harither says: magic works.
Harither says: yea there are flying items around the world but overtime they get back to earth.
Harither says: ^^
Mordaan says: I think only some of the visual effects are in place for magic, right?
Harither says: some have been remade..
Uadjet says: None of the legacy ones are in, I think.
Uadjet says: Yeah. They aren't compatible, so they have to be redone.
Damola says: afk for while
Mordaan says: yeah...lots of work there, but hopefully an artist can get on a roll and create them.
Hulla says: if you found one
Mordaan says: Maybe Tuux can come back.
Mordaan says: So the game still has a ways to go to get to full functionality, but it's getting there.
Harither says: ya
Uadjet says: Let's see... Zwei has been working hard on Lemurs.
Mordaan says: Oh nice.
Uadjet says: I mean Lemurians. He's not been working at a zoo with lemurs.
Mohonin says: is you all holiday going on including Talad?
Uadjet says: As far as I know.
Mordaan says: heh
Uadjet says: Heck, maybe he's been doing both!
Mohonin says: So i think cuz of holiday things are going fast in unreal, but what if the holidays are over? O_O
Uadjet says: But I've seen WIP pictures of the armor, and it looks really good!
Fliks says: will there be a bigger variety or armor
Mohonin says: Thats really cool
Uadjet says: He's got he heads done(ish?) too, so I dont' think there's any doubt that Lemurs will have their own unique appearance (including all armor types) when PSU in released. Actually, it might be available in a future alph, but don't take my word for that.
Uadjet says: More armor varieties would be nice. We even have different types of armor that you can't normally find in game.
Fliks says: abit like plate armor you can only buy it
Uadjet says: Like steel plate (heavier than plate mail) for heavy armor; banded, brigandine, and bronze serpent in medium armor; and spider silk and "thick" items in light armor.
Uadjet says: You mean platemail? You can make that in game. Not steel plate, though.
Fliks says: ye
Uadjet says: I don't know if they're planning on adding other armor types, but I know they've at least discussed clothing varieties. Lemurs, I think, are the trendsetters, so lemur-style clothing for all races is a possiblity.
Anysu says: Clothing other than armor be really nice!!
Uadjet says: It would, and it would open up the tailoring skill.
Damola says: Yeah.
Migg says: Lemurs always were obsessed with fashion
Damola says: Some variety.
Mohonin says: and a tailor crafting skill will also be there i guess
Damola does not really like her magic robe all that much.
Uadjet says: Which would be good news for those of you who have taken part in the events where I've given levels in that skill!
Anysu says: To be able to use tailoring skill, that would be great also!
Mohonin says: oops! late typing
Anysu says: Actually to use any skill we do not have active here in this game in UE be great.
Fliks says: like anti-magic that would be a gamechanger
Hulla says: so manny tgngs can be implemented but so small time for doing all
Mordaan says: I think anti-magic was nixed.
Mordaan says: In favor of magic resistance.
Uadjet says: Let's see... I've mentioned item rotation. That's better than what we have now, btw. You get a little widget and can turn the items on the three axis.
Anysu says: Magic resistance makes sense.
Fliks says: being able to change thing in the Y axsis would be cool
Uadjet says: Did I mention map fixes?
Mordaan says: no not yet
Uadjet says: The existing terrain is a bit different, and there's a lot of new map area, so there are a few places where the terrain needs patching.
Fliks says: and do you think there will be more new people to join once UE in relesed
Uadjet says: For example, there are spots a player can fall into and not be able to get out.
Fliks says: or would it stay arond 20
Uadjet says: Apparently that's undesirable, even though it's kinda funny.
Mordaan says: How about the bug where you fall through the world on login?
Mordaan says: Happens to me a lot.
Uadjet says: Also, there's at least one floating mountain.
Uadjet says: So the bits of terrain where things don't join up properly are being fixed.
Mordaan says: the snow capped mountain in the BD area?
Uadjet says: Heh, I think we're talking about the same one.
Migg says: No, keep that one!
Fliks says: yes ive fell in many cracks in the world but they have also saved me from death
Migg says: A floating mountain!
Uadjet says: I wonder if they're also working on the pit underneath Amdeneir.
Gonger says: Fliks, there are plans for doing more advertising when the new version is out, so, hopefully, there will be more players. Or ancient players returning.
Uadjet says: That's not urgent, but I do find it funny.
Uadjet says: There's a doorway in Amdeneir that has no ground on the other side, so you fall like 50 meters down into a pit the size of AMdeneir, with grass and trees on the bottom.
Mordaan says: Migg says: like the pit under Gug?
Mordaan says: watch that first step!
Uadjet says: Like that, but much deeper.
Fliks says: that pit has killed i found a crack and i fell right down to the bottom
Uadjet says: Talad just mentioned that he's nearly done exchange window fixes, which is the last thing on his To-Do list before the next alpha release.
Uadjet says: In this version? I didnt' think the pit under Amdeneir was that deep here.
Uadjet says: I know you can run around under Amdneeir, and even jump up into one of the wells.
Migg says: Amdeneir outside has huge gaps here
Fliks says: ive found a crack in oja wich lets me run around the whole place
Migg says: So you've cracked Oja too!
Mordaan says: In PSU, when you enter Oja from the eastern side, you end up running above the whole city.
Uadjet says: In the first version you could just hit "x" and turn off physics. The results varied (by race?) but with my guard I would go slightly back and then float upwards. That was very useful for getting over barriers before they got GM commands working.
Anysu says: And the big nothingness on otherside of the plague closed area on Oja wall.
Mordaan says: of course you can only enter there with /slide
Uadjet says: It's fun to see what's been planned for Oja, though. I know the pterosaur training area and mansions in the stalactites above Amdeneir are still being worked on too.
Mordaan says: Yes, it was nice to see Ojaveda whole, even if most of it doesn't have much detail yet.
Uadjet says: I like the central bit of it.
Mordaan says: yep, the huge tower?
Anysu says: ptero training area? Is it Damola proof?
Anysu smiles
Uadjet says: Nothing is Damolal proof.
Harither says: heh
Mohonin says: lol
Uadjet says: But it doesn't exist yet. I think we've only seen a few screenshots of the bridges between stalactites.
Damola listens intently and cheers happily "Pterosaur training area just for Damola, yay, yay, yay."
Anysu grins
Damola jumps up and down and nods, singing "Nothing is Damola proof."
Anysu sings along with Damola
Uadjet says: Yes, I think that will be a popular area. Of course, the rest of Amdeneir is pretty amazing too. The markets, the landing towers for pteros and megaras, the rougher area of town, the magic shop, etc. Oh! And the vigesimi tower!
Harither shakes his head.
Gonger says: We need an Uber ptero for Damola
Anysu looks back at the stage and listens for more UE info
Uadjet says: I think Damola is just going to cover the saddle with fish glue before sitting down, so that nobody can get her off the ptero again!
Damola may prefer some plant based glue however.
Mohonin says: Hehe!
Uadjet says: But I think that's all the news I have. Talad's work, Zwei doing the Lemur art, I think it's Tua doing map fixes. Probably other stuff too, but I only know what is discussed in the Dev channel.
Fliks says: couldn't we just take the saddle off
Mohonin says: ok 1 question
Harither says: we will find more map bugs heh
Mohonin says: do i need to go to the lecture board or can i ask from here?
Damola says: Nice.
Damola says: There got to be inofficial places in PS Unreal as well and if there are, we will find them.
Damola giggles
Anysu nods at Damola
Uadjet says: Go ahead and ask.
Mohonin says: i have 1 question on PSU
Uadjet says: Dora the Explorer on her ptero...
Migg says: 600W?
Mohonin says: there a pic about a quiver about a year or 2 ago so will there be a quiver to be held at the back for arrows in PSU? if yes hows that comming
Uadjet says: I... have no idea.
Migg says: like a container for arrows?
Mordaan says: There was. I never heard anything after that.
Mohonin says: ok if it comes we will see and enjoy
Uadjet says: There's a task on the nexus, apparently.
Mohonin says: Thanks
Mordaan says: I think it was more decorative rather then functional so far. But the idea is to have it be used as a container.
Migg says: You can rename a sack to quiver and use that
Mordaan says: I don't think any work has been done on it yet.
Uadjet says: There are other bits of artwork that could be used. A drinking horn, for example!
Migg says: but you can't use arrows without taking them out from a container
Uadjet says: Ah, yes. Talad got container renaming by players up and running!
Uadjet says: Knew I'd forgotten something.
Migg says: hear hear!
Mohonin says: nice thank you
Uadjet says: Yeah, I'm not sure how it would work. The game could check for stacks of arrows and draw from there, but once we get the ability to make different types of arrows you might not want the game deciding which get fired and lost.
Migg says: we currently need to equip arrows, that going to change?
Uadjet says: Not to my knowledge, but if they're working on quivers then... maybe?
Mordaan says: Probably not. All depends on how it all comes together.
Mordaan says: Maybe we'll see Talad working on it in a future stream.
Anysu says: Different types of arrows to make... nice!
Uadjet says: That's quite possible!
Migg says: perhaps you'd have to equip the quiver
Uadjet says: Well, we're well past the hour, so I think we can bring the meeting to a close. Thank you all for coming!
Rykia waves
Thoraro says: Thank you
Gonger says: Thanks to everybody for the work
Migg gracefully lands
Mordaan says: Thanks once again for attending!
