Uadjet: Hello and welcome to the developer's Q&A!
Gonger: It's a pleasure to have such a large crowd at the meeting.
Uadjet: Here is where we give you a little summary of what's going on behind the scenes and give you a chance to ask question, make suggestions, and just generall give feedback.
Uadjet: So, please line up at the lecterns in front of the stage if you have a question.
Uadjet: If not, I'll give a quick update on what's been going on.
Anysu: So what is new Uadjet?
Uadjet: Now, I know this has been covered before, but I do feel like it's worth mentinoning the Visual Equip system again.
Uadjet: That's why players now have items attached to themselves.
Uadjet: It's a big step forward in character customization, really, and it's pretty easy.
Uadjet: Just right-click on an item in your inventory and there will be a new button on the left hand side called VisualEquip.
Uadjet: Click on that and a new window pops up where you can assign that item to one of several slots.
Uadjet: Back, both hips, and both shoulders are what's currently available.
Uadjet: Now, after the next update you'll also have the ability to flip items and change which end is up and (I think) the angles of some items.
Uadjet: Let me see if I can't find something....
>Uadjet dropped a Quiver.
Uadjet: Hmm. There is a quiver item, but it's a container. I think containers are blocked from being equipped.
>Uadjet picked up a Quiver
Uadjet: They are.
Uadjet: I'll talk to Talad about that.
Uadjet: I think players will like to have quivers they can wear.
Anysu: Quiver be nice.
Gonger: Ironically enough a quiver is an item that SHOULD be worn on the back.
Gonger: And with the correct side up...
Uadjet: So that shouldn't be too hard to deal with. If an exception to one item in a category is too hard, a non-container items with the same art will do.
Uadjet: Talad's taking a mini-vacation this weekend. He's not left Italy, presumably so that he isn't exposed to imitation Italian food - but before he left he was working on City Management again.
Uadjet: It's partially live, so I'm wondering if any of you have experimented with it yet?
Resildren: i've added a bit to it, but it's limited
Anysu: I've tried but when I give the items, that item doesn't leave my inventory.
Anysu: Any other news?
Uadjet: But the city management is a way for players and guilds to provide goods for a city/town.
Mohonin: what sort of goods?
Uadjet: That will one day be able to grant rewards, like access to better goods at merchants or quests.
Uadjet: The goods can be simple, like ores and wood. They can also be more complex, like swords or other crafted items.
Uadjet: Talad has also started doing new intro quests for players who just left the starting area.
Mohonin: Sir, in Talad Sir's stream i have seen some special building were being made, so what are those buildings for? and what do we do there?
Uadjet: I'm not sure which buildings you're talking about.
Uadjet: Do you mean the new organization guild halls?
Uadjet: Like the one that looks like a person's upper body?
Mohonin: yes those ones
Uadjet: Ah, we've had events introducing two of them thus far. The two we've visited are for martial academies: One devoted to axes, and the other to blunt weapons.
Anysu: They are in game now and we visited them on event day
Uadjet: Yes. Those two can be visited normally, though.
Uadjet: Weekend after next is the one players cannot get into without exploits.
Anysu: So the next guild visit will be Sat in a couple weeks?
Uadjet: It was created by Talad (the God, I mean), and the location isn't easy to get to.
Uadjet: There will be a way to access it in the future, it's just not in yet.
Uadjet: Talad was talking about players being able to glide down from the temple in Gug, but that's not currently possible.
Uadjet: It's not hard to add gliding, safe fall, and flying, but making it compatible with everything that's already in the game...
Anysu: You can fall from that temple though in Gug?
Uadjet: Well, the slide is still there, but it won't get you to the new temple.
Resildren: Donation at the temple, take the slide then use the portal, could that work?
Uadjet: Maybe. A donation and then gliding would be great. It's not hard to dial down gravity for a character.
Uadjet: I'll redo the slowfall/gliding thing in Unreal 5, just to see if there's a different. Then I'll see if I can't get it to work with ALS.
Uadjet: Have fun playing, and I'll see you at the next meeting in two weeks!
