PC V2.0 Storms Brewing Dev Diary

Regarding the Town Hall and Twitch, I'd like to point out that Twitch Chat moves way to fast for anyone to read it, so if this Town Hall is going to involve questions from the audience then some additional technology is probably going to be needed or questions would have to be submitted in advance. Otherwise, practically speaking, it will be a presentation of topics they select based on what they've perceived to be issues.

They should do the forums. And have a filter for spam aka me lmao
 
Is someone from the staff going to start a questions from the community post?
i'd love to know how 3.0 is going...I want some clue if it is going to be a year or more before they will know if they are close.

Personally, I want to see more decor crafts, the same doors. Improvements for RWG in the form of locations near the water that are in Navezgane. Adding ports and piers would not be superfluous (maybe some flooded caves) I remembered about the tunnel from Navezgane, it is good

I am pretty sure this is going to be about the 2.0 stuff and how they want to improve the experience for people who seem to mostly not be fans of it. I don't think it'll be about new stuff like what you're suggesting.

If you just scroll up a little the chat pauses.

From my experience, this only works for a short time. If chat is very busy, it'll start scrolling after a very short time.


Anyhow, taking questions on the forum ahead of time and then answer at least some of those on the stream is the best option for a stream that is very fast like this will probably be. For a slower stream, you can have the stream moderator(s) grab questions and add them to a shared document the streamer(s) can read from. That's usually done by asking people to type QUESTION in caps at the beginning of the line so it stands out for the moderators to grab. But it's not great if the chat is scrolling very quickly. In those cases, using an external option like this forum to gather questions ahead of time works best.

I really hope that they take questions ahead of time rather than trying to read the chat to answer questions like they've tried (and failed) to do in the past. I also really hope they get sound and video working ahead of time and test connections with everyone who is taking part (Joel, Rick, etc.).


And although I didn't grab a quote about it, there was a comment about faatal being part of the stream. I thought he was part of one of the 1.0 dev streams, though I might be remembering incorrectly. It would be nice to see him be part of it since he's one of the main ones actually doing a lot of the work they will probably be talking about. But the end result will probably be the same either way... we'll get the same answers, no matter who says them.

Just, please... NO DATES!

it was me...I said That since he IS the guy who talks on here, he should maybe be on the stream if he was asked and wanted to. I would prefer it if the guy building it did some or maybe most of the talking. I believe he does know himself. lol. seriously though, a lot of people have pointed out to me that maybe Rick, Joel and Lathan are not really "involved" directly anymore. I don't know if that is true, I find it kinda hard to believe, but, not my words....still...faatal is the best person to speak about his work, again, a lot of people told me how important he actually is, and here I am saying they are right.
