VideospieleTranskript
00:00Welcome everyone to a playthrough of the Titan Quest 2 Gamescom Demo.
00:11We're the developers at Grimlore, my name is Balin Martin, I'm the lead systems designer.
00:16And I'm Florian Jonas, some of you may know me as the white t-shirt guy, but I'm actually the technical art director here at Grimlore Games.
00:24Two roles in one, excellent.
00:26So this is basically a live playthrough I'm actually playing right now, where we've got a lot to share.
00:33About the world of Titan Quest 2, which is obviously set in Greek mythology.
00:38We're keeping this whole theme of it being this bright and vibrant place.
00:44Somewhere where you'd want to take a holiday, but maybe you wouldn't want to take a holiday with all the monsters around.
00:51Yeah, that's definitely right.
00:53The Gamescom Demo actually starts a bit after the intro chapter, which also will be part of early access.
00:59Where we will learn that Nemesis is after us.
01:03And now we as a player who barely escaped her, have now to find out why is the goddess Nemesis after us.
01:10And who better to ask than the Moirai, the three fates of Greek mythology.
01:16That's right, to get access to them we will have to find a god.
01:19But first it would help to find some kind of village, people that can guide us.
01:23So that's what we're doing right now.
01:25Here on the beach there's a bunch of crabs.
01:27They're kind of back from Titan Quest 1, but in some different ways.
01:30As well as the Ictians, here's the first one.
01:36What generally can be said about Titan Quest is that we have this handcrafted world.
01:40So we don't use any procedural level generation, at least for now.
01:46This allows us to really take advantage of all these little areas that we can design.
01:53To create memorable situations for the player.
01:58Like here, this ladder might be missed by a few people.
02:02But it actually leads to a little area where the player can face more Ictians.
02:08And maybe also discovers something else.
02:12Yeah, this is also pretty early in the game.
02:14So the encounters, we've deliberately made them quite easy.
02:18But we're still putting some rewards here.
02:20As well as some nice view with the waterfall over there.
02:26And as far as exploration goes, more rewards.
02:30More exploration.
02:32But it's optional, you don't have to come here to the Altar of Benevolence.
02:36You can just skip this.
02:39Yeah, we're trying to break up these combat pauses.
02:43Like you saw before, when Balint was running back from the first Ictians.
02:47To have these little scenic events, like the waterfall.
02:52That's right. So we've got a bunch of choice dialogues here.
02:55That we're currently covering up with the camera.
02:57But that's fine.
02:58I've requested a staff here.
03:01And that brings us to our items.
03:04Which, we've got a lot of items.
03:06And they're really cool.
03:08Not just in terms of visuals, but also in terms of what they do.
03:12So we've brought back, obviously, all the things about rarities.
03:16That you can imagine.
03:18They basically come with a different number of affixes.
03:22But we also put the items into these families.
03:25Which are essentially these visual groupings of the items.
03:29And then those will also bring a specific effect with them.
03:34The innate effect, the white effect, essentially.
03:38Here on the overview.
03:40Flo, do you want to tell us a little bit about how the visual groupings have been created?
03:45Yeah, absolutely.
03:47As in other games, obviously, we have a lot of weapon classes.
03:52But all these weapon classes, like one-hand sword, shield, bow.
03:57All of these we have divided in three families each.
04:00As Balint was mentioning already.
04:02And each of these families kind of represent or kind of support a playstyle a bit more.
04:08I mean, after all, they stay the same.
04:11So our two-handed axe, for example, will always be the slow, heavy-hitting weapon.
04:15Compared to a sword, let's say.
04:17But there are nuances that can be shifted with these families.
04:20So, for example, to stay with the example of the two-handed axes.
04:24We have heavy, medium and light axes.
04:27And the light axe might be maybe focused more on a crit build.
04:32While the heavy axe is more support.
04:35This really builds that just want to bring the damage to the enemies.
04:42And visually, we kind of differentiate between generated items and uniques or monster-frequenced or faction items.
04:52Especially in the early game or in combat situations.
04:57Most of the time, if you're not facing unique creatures, you will mostly find these generated items.
05:03And for these families, we have multiple modular pieces that kind of get randomized together.
05:09So we want to create this random look.
05:12Where the player can find different looking weapons as often as possible.
05:19Because we definitely know that loot is a big part of an ARPG, obviously.
05:25So each weapon will consist of at least two parts.
05:30But many of more parts, actually, as well.
05:34And this is not only reflected in the 3D mesh.
05:37You can see the item on the ground.
05:40You can see it in the icon.
05:42And you can see it on your character.
05:45Because I think, personally, this is really something that stands out for us.
05:51And I think it's really rewarding just to see everything on your character displayed.
05:56And also in the inventory.
06:00Here it is. Like on the ground, it looks exactly the same as it does in the inventory.
06:04As it does on the icon.
06:06And we've just seen some more complex fights here that really brought down my health.
06:11I didn't do a very good job of dodging.
06:13But, you know, you don't need to dodge if you can kite.
06:17So there's many, many different varieties of playstyles that we want to allow.
06:22Yes, the dodge is a very central skill.
06:24But do you have to always use it?
06:26No, not really, no.
06:28Speaking of skills, we're about to level up.
06:31And when we do, we'll be talking about the masteries in a moment.
06:35But first, it seems these Ictian Guardians have been dropping some special items.
06:41And we'll be picking those up.
06:44There's a separate stash here for quest items.
06:47So I wonder what that could be for.
06:51You can maybe shed some light on what these coins actually do.
06:56The viewers who actually watched out may have seen a bug, actually.
07:01Because the stash that we mentioned actually doesn't look in-game as it does on the icon.
07:05So props for you who found out.
07:07This is actually a bug.
07:09Sorry that it happened.
07:11But we're on to the items.
07:12This is a very first iteration.
07:14And we have a fix already in an internal build.
07:17Yeah, just wanted to be sure we're on the same page here.
07:21That's right, this build is actually old now.
07:23So there is that.
07:25We still wanted to show you, for those of you who couldn't attend in person.
07:30That's, I think, totally fine.
07:32It is far for some of you, after all.
07:35But we have leveled up.
07:37And it's time to talk a little bit about those masteries.
07:41So we still have the whole thing of combining two masteries to form your own class.
07:46We don't just give you a class.
07:48So it's classic Titan Quest stuff.
07:50We have active skills as well as passive skills.
07:52Of course, what you see here, in terms of the size of the skill tree.
07:56It's drastically cut down for the Gamescom demo specifically.
07:59So that players with their limited time sessions over there.
08:03Could just get into it and figure out what's going on within the skills.
08:08So these are the modifiers that you can slot in.
08:12Which will cost some capacity slots.
08:15Which then you unlock with your active points.
08:17So if I want to modify my leap slam now to do more stuff.
08:21Such as also do a stun.
08:24Then I can assign this.
08:26But that will take two of these slots.
08:30However, if I take it out, I gain those back.
08:33And I can do this anytime.
08:35I could assign the rage gain, which is also a really nice modifier.
08:39And we need to somehow make use of that rage, right?
08:43It's just a status effect.
08:45We've got this onslaught on the primary weapon attack.
08:48And I have some more points available over there.
08:51So why don't we just get that.
08:54Put it on.
08:56And then it can work in tandem with our frost explosion.
08:59Which essentially converts some of our damage to cold.
09:02And then causes some explosions when enemies get frozen.
09:08Which we can very easily do with our frost nova as well.
09:11Ice nova, sorry.
09:13And the onslaught as we gain rage from every attack.
09:18As well as our leap slam.
09:20Which will be increasing our attack speed.
09:24So we're going to be attacking pretty quickly.
09:26We also have overwhelm, which is also a status effect.
09:30Gained by the primary attack.
09:32Up to three stacks can be had.
09:34And then you consume it essentially with your stomp.
09:37The stomp already stuns, so it's pretty useful.
09:40But overwhelm makes it do more damage and in a larger radius.
09:44So let me quickly show you.
09:46We're going to build up the three stacks of overwhelm here.
09:49Consume it with a giant stomp.
09:51But once this cooldown is over.
09:54We'll be able to see how much smaller the regular one is.
10:00There you go.
10:01Giant size difference.
10:03And we also have some passive points.
10:04Which we'll be wanting to spend here.
10:06Now the passives don't quite have modifiers.
10:08They have what we call feats.
10:10And the way we have it set up now.
10:13Is that at level three you get one slot.
10:16And then at level six another slot.
10:18Which is invested here.
10:19So that we can get the ailment chance to synergize here.
10:23With our application of chill.
10:25From our regular weapon attack.
10:29We'll put that in and that will be great overall.
10:32And then in storm we can diverge a little bit.
10:36And get a little bit of energy.
10:38Because when I spam my ice shards.
10:40I run out of energy.
10:41Not great.
10:42I think one thing that we could answer.
10:46That I have been seeing floating around the community.
10:48Is the question if masteries actually have an effect.
10:52On the modifiers.
10:54Do masteries bring additional modifiers at all.
10:57One way or the other.
10:59We don't do cross mastery modifiers really.
11:04But we do these cross mastery effects.
11:06So for example rage could be consumed.
11:10By something in storm in the future.
11:12Or overwhelm.
11:14There's definitely examples for that.
11:16So you do have these natural synergies.
11:19That are going to go across.
11:23And you have modifiers injecting themselves.
11:27Into the global abilities at the moment.
11:29Such as the dodge.
11:31Such as the regular weapon attack.
11:35Right so I think the frost explosion for example.
11:38Is a good example for that.
11:39That actually like the frost explosion.
11:41Is a skill that takes advantage of the frozen state.
11:44Especially of enemies.
11:46And this actually comes from the storm mastery right.
11:50Yes.
11:52Perfect.
11:55Yes it just happens to naturally also synergize.
11:57With what's in warfare right.
11:59So you get a lot of double benefits.
12:02You get a lot of stick stacking.
12:04Definitely worth making use of that.
12:06And now that I've reached my high stack count on rage.
12:09You can see how quick the attack speed has become.
12:12So it definitely is transformative in that sense.
12:18And why am I allowed to make use of warfare skills.
12:22But with the staff.
12:24I'm kind of setting myself up to be a mage here aren't I.
12:27Well that is possible because of our attribute system.
12:30So our attributes are basically this.
12:33Three directional triangle that you're looking at.
12:36But it becomes six directional once you start combining these.
12:40We've got vigor in the middle as well.
12:43Which impacts your health.
12:45But might what that does.
12:47It basically unlocks your support for heavy armor.
12:50As well as heavy weapons.
12:52That you would expect from a warrior.
12:54Knowledge is more the mage stuff.
12:56Like robes as well as staves.
12:58Agility is more like the deck stuff.
13:01That you'd be used to from other RPG games.
13:03So daggers and stuff like that.
13:05But then we have things like fitness.
13:07Fitness looks at a combination.
13:10We have a formula for this.
13:12Might, vigor and agility basically get combined into fitness.
13:15Depending on how you spread this out.
13:18Might and agility contribute more than vigor.
13:21But what this does.
13:23Is strike damage and pierce damage gets increased by fitness.
13:26And then resolve the combination of might, vigor and knowledge.
13:30That will give you fire and cold damage.
13:33And we have a lot of that right now.
13:36As well as fitness.
13:38But because we are an ice warrior.
13:40We kind of want to.
13:42A storm warrior.
13:44We kind of want to go into resolve here.
13:46To play into cold damage.
13:48That's what we have a lot of right now.
13:50We could go more into might.
13:52And support our heavy armor now.
13:55And still be a mage.
13:57In terms of damage.
13:59But have the option to swap to pure physical.
14:02Flexibility, choice, choice, choice.
14:05That's the motto here.
14:10So if at some point we find a cool melee weapon for example.
14:14We could switch out that staff.
14:16Yeah, just for a melee weapon.
14:18And that would just work.
14:20Just like the staff in the build, right?
14:24We will at some point definitely swap for something.
14:27We do want to show off the stuff after all.
14:29The teleporters.
14:31They will come in very useful momentarily.
14:35Unfortunately we have some issues with the ranged mechanics still.
14:39As you saw some projectiles were missing.
14:42So what I'll do is at the first opportunity.
14:45We will be swapping to something with melee.
14:49Maybe we get to show dual wield as the enemies drop stuff.
14:52But yeah, it's not always bright and pretty in Greece over here.
14:56We've got the caves.
14:58It's going to be kind of chock full of spiders.
15:00As well as skellies.
15:03Stuff like that you can totally expect.
15:05We don't shy away from the ARPG staples.
15:08But we're definitely in a brighter spot.
15:12Than most of the competition would be.
15:17Maybe I can quickly say something about the ragdoll.
15:19Because I saw that also in the comments.
15:21I think people were complaining a bit.
15:23Rightfully so.
15:26There was a bit lack of ragdoll physics.
15:29Although it was already enabled.
15:31We didn't make it in time for the trailer.
15:33We definitely amped it up for the games conversion though.
15:36And we also invested a bit more into that system.
15:40So the ragdoll impact is a pure visual thing.
15:44But the deathblow which triggers the ragdoll.
15:48Is now actually a bit adjustable.
15:52So each skill and also each weapon will have a different impact.
15:56On how far the enemies will actually be flung.
15:59So if you kill someone with a two-hand axe.
16:02Or a heavy warfare skill.
16:04You will definitely send the spiders flying.
16:08Although just a deathblow with a dagger for example.
16:12Will not have the same impact.
16:14That's right.
16:16So we've got these exploding spiders.
16:18Which you would have to basically avoid.
16:20They get a lot more interesting when they're combined with others.
16:23Obviously one on one.
16:25Not a huge threat.
16:27But we do want to go for this more complex fighting situation.
16:30Like here if I let myself get caught by that web.
16:33I get slowed down.
16:35And I happen to take some of the explosion damage from the spider.
16:38But not the damage over time area.
16:40If I take both.
16:42My health would have been down to like half or so.
16:45If there's multiple of those exploding spiders.
16:48I'd probably be dead.
16:49Now this is also a tougher encounter however here.
16:52With the revenant.
16:54It's able to cast these long line AOEs.
16:57And it also empowers the nearby skeletons.
17:01So you'd get frozen by this.
17:03I tried to chug my potion in the last second.
17:05Wasn't enough.
17:06And I'm toast.
17:08But guess what happens then.
17:11We go back all the way here.
17:13But we don't want to be masochist.
17:16Or turn you into that.
17:19We do offer you this recovery portal to go back.
17:22You don't have to kill everything on the way.
17:24In fact everything you did kill.
17:26Is still toast.
17:28So we'll be able to just head back to the recovery portal.
17:33And the fight is back.
17:35We have to solve this combat puzzle.
17:38That we've set up for you.
17:42Shouldn't be a big deal if you pay attention.
17:44If you dodge these big abilities.
17:47And if you focus down the enemies.
17:49Especially if you have kiting.
17:51This is a pretty easy encounter still.
17:53But we did want to show you what happens.
17:57So we definitely want to take you also as a player series.
18:00And create challenges.
18:02That you just can't breeze through from time to time at least.
18:06I mean we definitely are a true RPG I want to say.
18:09But we also want to have you fun right from the get go.
18:13And not only after the first playthrough.
18:17Still we want to respect your time.
18:19And definitely don't want to make it tedious.
18:22Which is why we went for that portal solution.
18:27Yes and if you die you do lose a little bit of experience.
18:30So there is a penalty.
18:32We'll look into perhaps giving you an option to get that back.
18:36Like it was in Titan Quest 1 with the gravestones.
18:43So that is something we're looking into still.
18:46Probably sometime during the early access we'll have our answer regarding that.
18:50Anyway I leveled up again.
18:52What do we do next Flo?
18:54I finished this first.
18:58Maybe we can show the frost shards.
19:00Yes that's probably a good idea.
19:03We can respec at least a little bit.
19:06Let's get the maximum energy or the regen.
19:10I think the regen.
19:12The regen is good.
19:14Yes that's probably going to allow us to be smooth there.
19:17So the current thing that's applied to ice shards.
19:20Current modifier is the torrent.
19:22Which gives us additional projectiles.
19:24That's pretty much a no brainer.
19:26You probably want to go with this first.
19:28But there's other options.
19:30There's this one that allows you to penetrate further enemies.
19:35However to get to level 6 would require 4 points and we have 3 right now.
19:39So I think we're going to start here with long shot.
19:42Which just requires 1.
19:44And we'll just spend these points and wait for the 6th one.
19:47And then we'll swap them out later.
19:49At the next level up.
19:51So you can already see that the capacity costs may differ on the complexity of the modifier.
19:57So it's not always a given that you can slot every modifier that you want.
20:01There will definitely be super expensive ones.
20:05Which really will make you have to think about what modifiers you actually slot in.
20:14Yeah they're a little bit better if I shoot from a longer range.
20:18They're going to be stronger now.
20:20So that's I think very visible here.
20:22There should have been a more complex encounter.
20:24But we're just a little bit too strong for this.
20:26So again the early parts of the game are a little bit easier.
20:30As this area that we're showing off.
20:32But we'll shortly ramp up the difficulty a little bit.
20:35And to go back to the semi open world approach.
20:38We do want to reward exploration.
20:40So this lady over there.
20:42Not very happy to see us.
20:44Because we should be over there.
20:47But she's pointing us out to this chest down there.
20:51There should be some useful loot.
20:53I'll make use of that.
20:54Now because of the ranged issues I'll be swapping back to spear and shield for the moment.
20:58And hopefully we get some decent drops.
21:00This is not scripted.
21:02So not everything will go well for me.
21:05Maybe it's actually a good point.
21:07That we talk about the enemy classes.
21:10We have this faction system.
21:12And you have seen plenty of the Ictins by now.
21:15But here we also start to introduce more classes.
21:18To make the combat encounters a bit more complex and more interesting.
21:22So what you have to think of factions.
21:24Is like a toolbox for our game designers to play with.
21:28To create these encounters.
21:30So we have guards that tank damage.
21:32And try to keep you away from the casters.
21:34Then the casters themselves.
21:36That either deal high damage.
21:38Or assist.
21:40Also we have the crowd enemies.
21:42Like the troopers here.
21:44And the brute that you can see here in the middle.
21:46With a big club.
21:48Where you definitely want to stay away from.
21:50As you can see he really can dish out damage.
21:52And if you...
21:54Again by himself he might not be the biggest threat.
21:56But imagine you were stunned by one of the guards.
21:58Who have a shield.
22:00And are surrounded maybe by a few others.
22:02Then this really becomes an issue.
22:06That's absolutely right.
22:08And you know we've seen earlier the man catcher.
22:10The guy with the giant halberd.
22:12As well as his net that he can throw.
22:14So he can net you.
22:16And then the brute comes in.
22:18He slams on the ground.
22:20It's also a very powerful ability.
22:22That you have to be wary of.
22:24And you know we just really want to demand.
22:26A little bit of attention.
22:28A little bit of creativity.
22:30To solve these combat encounters.
22:32But again early on we are still simple.
22:34Later on we will start mixing.
22:36These more advanced creatures together.
22:38And actually we'll get to show that.
22:40Later in the demo as well here.
22:42So I've got a...
22:44Is this a dagger?
22:46That means we can have two.
22:48But I need to click on the shield to remove that.
22:50We have inventory sorting of course by the way.
22:52And we have a ton of stats.
22:54For you to enjoy.
22:56This is just a basic overview.
22:58But we'll have a lot of advanced stats.
23:00And I mean a lot.
23:02Now you can see a lot of these are still under construction.
23:04But these are.
23:06At the base level.
23:08All the stats that we'll provide for you.
23:10And we'll try to make sure.
23:12That they're very clear.
23:14We're still working on the tool tips for them.
23:16But we'll make sure that.
23:18It's easy to understand.
23:20Now I go double daggers.
23:22So the reason it's interesting.
23:24Is because they have a lot of single target damage.
23:26So if I come across some tough enemies.
23:28I'll be able to just shank them.
23:30And they'll very quickly disappear.
23:32But these basic weapons.
23:34These smaller weapons.
23:36They don't have a big area of effect.
23:38All the weapons have an area of effect in Titan Quest 2.
23:40But their shape and size differs.
23:42So it's a tiny cone with these.
23:46But you get this crazy attack speed.
23:48Once your rage goes up.
23:50With our current setup.
23:56And if we're lucky.
23:58We maybe find later.
24:02The raging bull.
24:04Who makes a reappearance.
24:06I read it somewhere in the community.
24:08That they were afraid.
24:10That we have this pre-placed loot everywhere.
24:12That's definitely not the case.
24:14It's just as some were already.
24:16Mentioning a setup for the demo build.
24:18So we can actually.
24:20Reward the players of the demo.
24:24Yeah it's definitely not the case.
24:26In the real game.
24:28So the demo.
24:30Yes we did want to show that one item.
24:32But otherwise everything is randomized.
24:34So you still have to farm.
24:36Long term.
24:38And we'll provide you great options to do so.
24:40Now crafting isn't going to be present immediately.
24:42In the beginning of the early access.
24:44But we do plan to add it.
24:46And we'll make the monsters drop their.
24:48Monster specific loot.
24:50Rather than the human loot.
24:52That you're currently going to see from them.
24:54Especially animals like crabs or whatever.
25:00Oh just because I saw you picking up gold.
25:02I saw that also.
25:04Been something that people.
25:06Yeah were robbed the wrong way.
25:08By this is also something.
25:10That we actually already.
25:12Yeah have in the local build.
25:14Here the auto pick up of gold.
25:16So we are also thinking of.
25:18Quality of life features.
25:20Although it's early access.
25:26Don't stop these little side areas.
25:28That you can explore.
25:30And farm for XP.
25:32Like coming here to just go after the spiders.
25:34Once we add crafting.
25:36This is going to be a lot more meaningful.
25:38Than it is in now.
25:40You know roaming around here.
25:42There's a lot of spiders.
25:44So if we do something.
25:46Crafting related with spiders.
25:48This is a decent place to go.
25:50And there will be.
25:52Teleporters nearby as well.
25:54There it is.
25:56Just walk past it.
25:58Oh I guess one more area.
26:00That we can very briefly show.
26:02Is this little farm spot.
26:04With the boars and the birds.
26:06Should be familiar from Titan Quest 1.
26:08I suppose a little bit of challenge.
26:10Might be surprising you every now and then.
26:12And of course there's a big boy.
26:14Definitely.
26:16I'll let him do his ability.
26:18Oh god.
26:20That was a mistake.
26:22There it is.
26:24Big stomp.
26:26You definitely want to walk out of that.
26:28Yeah I was told that actually.
26:30Boars played a very big role.
26:32In Greek mythology.
26:34And yeah I mean.
26:36I can definitely see how they pose a threat.
26:38If I see a.
26:403 meter boar.
26:44Try to use both my masteries.
26:46Running and hiding.
26:48Of course we've got.
26:50Side quests as well.
26:52That's a nice load of items.
26:54We even have a.
26:56Scythe here somewhere.
26:58So we have two handed items of course.
27:00For warrior types.
27:02But scythes are actually light.
27:04Two handed items.
27:06So a mage type could technically wear this.
27:08If it was the right type.
27:10Now this is not really.
27:12Lending itself to a mage.
27:14But if it had let's say.
27:16A fire version of that.
27:18Or a cold version of that.
27:20That could totally happen.
27:22We'd also be making sure to cover it.
27:24On the items such as with this one.
27:26Where you know the fire.
27:28Staff is on fire.
27:30We have that for the physical weapons as well.
27:32I think one thing.
27:34I quickly want to note here is.
27:36We also have like these damage conversions.
27:38Obviously.
27:40And we also reflect that on the projectiles.
27:42And the weapons.
27:44So it's not only.
27:46Like if you have like this.
27:48One skill that kind of converts your damage.
27:50Into frost damage.
27:52Then you will also be shooting frost projectiles.
27:54And not only fire projectiles.
27:56That deal frost damage technically.
27:58So we really want to show.
28:00The gameplay systems.
28:02On the player facing side.
28:04Yes those kinds of weapons.
28:06Are not particularly going to be common by the way.
28:08So we know like a sword on fire.
28:10Obviously is a little special.
28:12But it's not going to be a unique.
28:14Unlike that one.
28:16There's a raging bull.
28:18We placed this here on purpose.
28:20With a very high chance to spawn.
28:22Just so that we can show it off.
28:24And I'm just going to make sure.
28:26I don't have any extra points to spend.
28:28So that's great.
28:30What the raging bull does.
28:32Is it makes your rage stacks essentially better.
28:34Giving you more.
28:36Weapon damage for them.
28:38So with epic and legendary items.
28:40We'll be hand crafting the.
28:42Precise effects that the weapon will wield.
28:44It's not really randomized.
28:46At this point.
28:48But depending on where you find them.
28:50They will have a different level to them.
28:52Which is true of every item by the way.
28:54But also for.
28:56These unique items that we hand craft.
28:58Rather than the random effects.
29:00That you get from the other stuff.
29:02So why is that important?
29:04It's important because.
29:06You will want to get loot.
29:08That is close to your level.
29:10Basically ensure that you get to.
29:12Grow like that as a character.
29:14That you get to progress.
29:18And it will give you.
29:20Ways to change the difficulty.
29:22Of the world as well.
29:24You'll either be able to.
29:26Just increase them flat out.
29:28In the entire world.
29:30Or you'll be able to raise the minimum.
29:32To your own level as well.
29:34Which is going to be great.
29:36To go back to older areas.
29:38To farm there.
29:40Find items that are specific to the Ictians.
29:42But eventually you'll be getting out of the area.
29:44Where the Ictians are.
29:46So one day you will not have access.
29:48To the Ictian stuff.
29:50And that's why the big encounters are hard.
29:54Yes.
29:56So all these tougher.
29:58Higher tier enemies working together.
30:00Using their abilities.
30:02Is definitely commanding some attention.
30:04And I'm talking at the same time now.
30:06Not the easiest thing.
30:08Maybe I can do some talking then.
30:10Yes.
30:12This is actually a side quest.
30:14The guy outside of the cave.
30:16Was crying for help.
30:18Because his sister was kidnapped.
30:20By Ictians.
30:22They are held in this cave.
30:24This is all content that could have been missed.
30:26If you don't pay attention to the world.
30:28I mean not everybody.
30:30Will want to do all the exploration.
30:32But those who.
30:34Are interested in that.
30:36We will also cater for.
30:38And we actually have also.
30:40A small riddle here in this cave.
30:42So not only can we free the.
30:44Villagers that were kidnapped.
30:46But we can also.
30:48Find a little extra layer.
30:50If we actually.
30:52Again.
30:54Take a look at the world.
30:56And are on the lookout.
30:58For little things that stand out.
31:00Although I have to say.
31:02These riddles aren't.
31:04Oh nice.
31:06These riddles aren't super demanding.
31:08So it's no point and click adventure.
31:10It's most of the time.
31:12Just finding the odd one.
31:14Or clicking something in a specific order.
31:16Yes.
31:18Yes.
31:20Yes.
31:22Yes.
31:24Yes.
31:26Yes.
31:28Yes.
31:30Yes.
31:32Yes.
31:34Yes.
31:36Yes.
31:38Yes.
31:40Yes.
31:42Yes.
31:44Yes.
31:46Yes.
31:48Yes.
31:50Yes.
31:52Yes.
31:54Yes.
31:56Yes.
31:58Yes.
32:00Yes.
32:02Yes.
32:04Yes.
32:06Yes.
32:08Yes.
32:10Yes.
32:12Yes.
32:14Yes.
32:16Yes.
32:18Yes.
32:20Yes.
32:22Yes.
32:24Yes.
32:26Yes.
32:28Yes.
32:30Yes.
32:32Yes.
32:34Yes.
32:36Yes.
32:38Yes.
32:40Yes.
32:42Yes.
32:44Yes.
32:46Yes.
32:48Yes.
32:50Yes.
32:52Yes.
32:54Yes.
32:56Yes.
32:58Yes.
33:00Yes.
33:02Yes.
33:04Yes.
33:06Yes.
33:08Yes.
33:10Yes.
33:12Yes.
33:14Yes.
33:16Yes.
33:18Yes.
33:20Yes.
33:22Yes.
33:24Yes.
33:26Yes.
33:28Yes.
33:30Yes.
33:32Yes.
33:34Yes.
33:36Yes.
33:38der TideQuest 1, wo man sieht, was man sieht, aber das ist etwas, das wir in irgendeiner Weise zurückholen wollen,
33:51aber momentan machen wir das nur durch Loot-Listen, die zum Feind passen.
33:59Wir schauen im Zeitraum von Early Access nach, um das zurückzubringen.
34:06Ich denke, ich werde hier hochleveln.
34:09Hier geht es. Noch ein Level hoch, bevor der große Kampf beginnt.
34:12Wir haben darüber gesprochen, wie wir Ice Shards benutzen werden.
34:15Los geht es.
34:17Projektor-Penetration, damit es durch mehrere Feinde geht.
34:20Und ich habe noch zwei mehr. Wir können das zurücklegen. Wir können den Langschuss halten.
34:23Okay, das ist ziemlich gut.
34:25Und dann können wir noch mehr Energie und Regeneration bekommen.
34:32Übrigens kann man sehen, wenn man über diesen Weltraum springt, haben wir 34 Energie und Regeneration. Das ist viel.
34:38Ziemlich gut.
34:40Gen, wie ihr vorhin gesehen habt, war Violent die Brazier im Norden anzuleuchten.
34:46Also ist das ein 1-2-3-Puzzle, wo man nur die steigenden Brazier klicken muss.
34:55Ja, wir werden keine Zauberpuzzle machen.
34:58Aber wir wollen eure Anstrengungen für die Erkundung und das Umsehen der Gräben und so weiter verdienen.
35:04Es geht nicht um Komplexität, es geht darum, nur zu sehen, was da draußen ist.
35:10Genau. Und ich denke, das passt wirklich gut mit dem Handwerk.
35:13Ich denke, die Level- und Content-Designer haben einen tollen Job gemacht.
35:18Ich werde die Inventoren wahrscheinlich nicht aufnehmen. Es ist fast voll.
35:22Natürlich werden es Verkäufer sein, nicht in dieser Demo, aber wir machen sie. Wir haben sie lokal tätig.
35:31Ja, wir haben gerade diesen Typen getroffen und er versteckt sich in dieser Gräbe und hofft, dass die Iktans ihn nicht schlagen.
35:38Entschuldigung, er ist sein Bot. Wir sollten hier nicht sein.
35:43Mal sehen, ob wir gute Lüge für den letzten Kampf hier in der Gräbe bekommen.
35:47Wir brauchen nicht wirklich die Bewegungsgeschwindigkeit, also nehme ich diese Cast-Geschwindigkeit.
35:52Das wird für unsere Eischarten nützlich sein.
35:55Was haben wir noch?
35:58Das gibt uns etwas Kaltes Schaden. Ich denke, wir können dafür gehen.
36:02Das wird gut für die Eischarten sein.
36:04Und da ist eine Überraschung. Beim Eintritt in die Gräbe haben wir eine Überraschung.
36:10Das wird gut für die Eischarten sein.
36:12Und da ist eine Überraschung. Ein paar Skeletons.
36:14Und das ist eigentlich kein Boss da drüben. Der Skeleton-Warlock ist, wie wir ihn nennen, ein Leiter.
36:22Was das bedeutet, ist, dass er das höchste Echelon in der Skeleton-Faktion ist.
36:28Und ich wurde gerade gefroren von diesen Typen, die Kaltes Schaden bekämpfen.
36:35Das gehört auch zum Frost-Revenant.
36:38Aber das ist nicht der Einzige, der hier die Aura hat.
36:41Eigentlich hat der Warlock eine Aura und schadet diesen Typen leichter.
36:48Also, wir müssen definitiv zuerst die leichten Typen, dann den Unterstützung.
36:54Und dann folgen wir dem großen Mann selbst.
36:58Wieder versuchen, diese individuellen Fähigkeiten abzudodgen, damit wir nicht in Smithereens geblastet werden.
37:06Das wäre vielleicht einfacher mit unseren Ranged-Attacken.
37:14Er ist übrigens immun zu Friesen und allem. Deshalb habe ich das hier nicht wirklich benutzt.
37:19Ja, wie ihr seht, ist es ein zurück und fort, langsamer, aber mehr engagierter Kampf, als ihr von anderen ARPGs gewohnt seid.
37:26Unsere Bosse folgen den gleichen Prinzipien.
37:29Aber die Aufgabe des Leitern ist es, zusammen mit einem Kern-Faktion zu arbeiten, wie den Skeletonen.
37:34Wir werden auch mehrere Faktionen haben, wie die Ictians, die ihr gesehen habt.
37:38Wir werden Bandits haben, die ihr nicht gesehen habt.
37:41Wir werden Wildlife haben, die ihr gesehen habt, aber die sind nicht so gut wie die anderen.
37:45Sie sind mehr versammelt und machen ihre eigene Sache.
37:49Wir werden aber auch Bosse haben.
37:51Und die Bosse werden die 1vs1-Empfehlungen sein, die länger dauern werden.
37:57Definitiv für die Duell-Erfahrung mit mehr komplexen Mechaniken und Fähigkeiten.
38:03Ja, und für den ersten Early Access haben wir drei Bosse geplant.
38:08Und ich wollte definitiv etwas klären.
38:12Wenn wir über den ersten Early Access sprechen, dann ist dies die erste Launch-Version, die wir im Winter bringen werden.
38:19Wir werden dies mit Updates folgen, die den Inhalt auch verlängern.
38:24Wenn wir sagen, dass wir 12 Stunden planen haben, um den Playthrough zu erledigen,
38:29dann sind dies die 12 Stunden für den ersten Release.
38:34Dies wird durch die folgenden Updates verlängert, die neue Kapseln, neue Meisterungen, mehr Inhalte,
38:41mehr Waffen, mehr Loot, mehr von allem bringen.
38:43Das stimmt, und das ist alles in Ihrem Kauf enthalten.
38:46Es gibt also noch viel zu kreieren.
38:49Wir planen und bauen diese neuen Kapseln, während wir sprechen.
38:54Und es werden mehr Feinde, mehr Loot, mehr Meisterungen.
38:59Mindestens drei Meisterungen in diesem ersten Drop.
39:03Und dann werden wir noch mehr machen.
39:06Und auf das, was da ist, weiterentwickeln.
39:09Genau. Ich möchte sagen, dass wir einen tollen Anfang haben.
39:12Ein guter, besonders Toolbox.
39:14Es ist immer schwierig, in der Spieleentwicklung,
39:16all diese Systeme in den Platz zu bringen,
39:18damit man die Welt bauen kann.
39:20Das braucht viel Feintuning.
39:22Die Systeme müssen zusammenarbeiten.
39:25Ich denke, wir sind in einem sehr guten Zustand.
39:29Und wie Balint gesagt hat, wir arbeiten bereits auf die Updates.
39:32Es gibt noch Raum,
39:34wir möchten euer Feedback hören.
39:36Wie ihr bemerkt habt,
39:38folgen wir der Diskussion.
39:40Wir sprechen über das Feedback,
39:42was wir lesen,
39:44und bringen es auch an das Team.
39:46Ich denke, das ist es,
39:48was wir von der Early Access gerne hören würden,
39:50um eure Meinung zu hören.
39:52Damit könnt ihr auch die Entwicklung
39:54zu einem gewissen Niveau schaffen.
39:56Das stimmt. Und schau, es ist Nacht.
39:58Wir haben ein Tag-Nacht-System.
40:00Genau, großartig.
40:02Wir haben euch alles erzählt,
40:04was wir sagen müssen.
40:06Aber es gibt noch mehr,
40:08also bleibt dran.
40:10Es gibt Blog-Posts
40:12und all das.
40:14Wir wünschen euch einen schönen Abend.
40:16Großartig.
40:18Tschüss.
