Yeah,

yeah, yeah.

What's this thing?

So, yeah, like during...

The release, the release night was pretty crazy for a few reasons.

It was a lot of stuff going on at the same time.

I don't know, did we push a build that day or did we push it before?

Or was it just testing?

The time is a little bit blurry, man.

Yeah, like, that day is kind of a blur.

Is this the release?

Is that what you're saying?

So, yeah, this is from release night.

Everyone was drunk.

Yeah, everyone was drunk, and we decided, hey, let's stream us watching people stream.

Yeah, that was so awesome.

Yeah, and we were like, all right, let's do that.

And then we...

Hold up, I need to switch this up.

So, yeah, we were like, oh, that's a good idea, except the fact that, like...

The fucking conference table was a fucking mess.

So we were like, ah, we'll just put up a camp.

We have conference calls all the time.

Except that, yeah, it was not that easy.

There was this moment where we were like, quick, someone grab the camera.

Try to untangle wires.

No one's ever done this before.

So, yeah, this is literally on release night.

We were trying to set up a stream, and half of us are, like, partying, kind of, and half of us, like, me and Jace and, like, a few others were, like, running around, just like, let's get this shit up!

Yeah, I was working like crazy.

Jace was, like, so busy that day because...

Whenever there's an announcement and everyone chills out and watches things announce, that's when I work the most.

But, so, one really funny thing that we did

during that was that we jumped around on streams and troll people.

Because people were sitting and waiting for the time when the game would go out and they could start streaming.

So people were doing pre-streams and stuff like that.

So we would just randomly jump into streams and be like, this game looks like dog shit.

On the official CoffeeState account.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

games dog shit and the best one was when we jumped into bike man stream because we got banned immediately so we got banned immediately and people in chat were like what the fuck you just banned the devs dude and they were like shit shit shit that was amazing yeah that was that was pretty good that was pretty good that's so good um

So another thing that happened during our livestream was that obviously the game wasn't perfect.

We're not saying that it was.

So what we were doing, we were watching people livestreaming the game and we came to this German fellow, I believe.

that was streaming the game.

And he was playing in multiplayer, and he was having a fairly common issue at the time where people had issues connecting.

We still somewhat have that issue, but it's way less now, and we're still working on fixing that, by the way.

So yeah, they had issues.

So we were like, wait, can we help them?

Can we maybe help them?

So we got one of our programmers to jump on a call while he was streaming.

Yeah, while we were streaming.

So we joined this fellow's stream.

So he was live streaming.

We were live streaming, watching him live streaming as he was getting a live Discord call.

And we were trying to figure out how to solve this issue.

And so this picture was taken later.

This was at Gamescom.

So Jace ran into him on Gamescom.

So we got like a full circle of that.

Yeah, that was really

cool.

It was nice to meet him.

What do you remember from the...

What's your favorite moment from the

launch?

From the

launch?

When Gronkh was playing and everybody was watching him play in German and I was just there translating

for

everyone.

Because I think

that was one

of the most watched, with the most viewers.

So we were on those ones for a while and then we kind of all moved back to all the small channels and just kind

of went through.

Yeah, because we jumped around.

I remember specifically this dude who played, he played Alpha.

and we jumped into his channel he was like wait are the devs like watching they're like yeah yeah we're watching he's like oh wait like wait i have to show you something and he like ran back to his base because he was like out exploring so when he realized we were watching he was like wait wait i gotta i gotta run back and he ran back and his base was humongous and he was like yeah i have like 900 hours in this in the game and we were like holy that was so cool

we also speaking of like a lot of hours in the game we got one person

who, like, their game was crashing because they had too many objects in the game.

They couldn't place anything else and the engine would just shut down.

Yeah, it's pretty crazy.
