who's that wait who dat a yeah who that there's no one in the background this is empty does it look it's not I don't like change I don't like change, let's see where are you are you the real snoot I'm stuck in an elevator currently on my way to the office no, yeah welcome to the stream, this is a bit new and the stream might be a little bit scuffed because I'm at the office streaming so this is this is where you are going to be seeing me hopefully for the future, and the intention is for it to not be scuffed later if it is cut now yes it's scuffed right now so closed captions don't work for today but it's it is what it is I guess, but yeah I'm at the I'm at the office in Gothenburg because we have a office in Gothenburg as well that's not coffee stain Studios but it's coffee stain Gothenburg they do other coffee stay related things and that's where I sit that's where I said I'm sitting at home that's what I said yeah huh tell us at home hopefully no a lot of people are at work when they watch the stream that may be- I love reading the comments where people are like, it's like oh I'm at works I'm watching it was like wait what do you what do you do for work when you're like you can just bail on work and just watch the the dev stream instead yeah that's that's it sounds like a pretty good job no matter what yeah I'm watching this stream I'm in a meeting it's like that's even better I'm in a meeting yeah I've had that yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah well I've had like people say like I'm I have a meeting so I have to put on mute but like they keep the stream going yeah but a lot of people say the opposite they were like oh I'm in a meeting now so like now I can watch the Stream someone's saying make Jace a bit louder what, what do you guys think because we did have to check, audio levels before do I sound quieter folks should I go up and snooko up I feel like you it's hard to say because like the meters always lie fine to me yeah if people feel like it sounds okay most people saying it's fine it's probably fine okay Chase up just a tad I gave you like, one decibel all right oh one a whole decibel yeah well remember that the decibel system isn't linear so it's tell us more about the non-linear Decimal System yeah because three decibels is an increase it's a like twice as much so like every time you increase by three decibels you're increasing the volume by twice the amount of energy or volume or whatever wow yeah press one chat if you already knew that it's hella confusing it's also confusing because a lot of, programs such as OBS have like linear sliders which is super confusing yep, wow everyone apparently knew that's the I should have asked suppress what if you didn't if you didn't know it I'm pressing two though yeah, so yeah welcome to to the stream, I was in here last week so, what did I miss, this week is going to be, I was going to say it's a short stream but actually isn't a short stream but it probably, Community highlights segment for this week is a bit special because we're going to be checking out the pass it on event we we're gonna originally do this a while ago but, things kept coming up and like we had to dedicate a lot of time for like other things in the community highlights instead, and then I was sick and then Jace was gone on vacation for a while like we just never got around to like the perfect but now is the time now is the time we're finally gonna check out the, the pass it on events, I will go go more into that when we get to that, segment, but first I think we're going to talk a little bit about state of Dev, and I mean like it's it's depressing to say that there's not too much new news to give if you watch the video Jace put out last week, I mean we have a there's a little bit of an update but the state of things are or do you want to like give a quick recap of sure here's the video I put it I put it in the, the the link now that oh my God the chat right now, if you haven't seen it yet that's where we talk about like the state of like a state of Dev for update eight I touched on it a little bit on stream last week but I went in a little like a little bit more depth, in the video, someone is saying to make me a little louder again yeah I saw that too I mean, and yeah so that's just kind of the state of things right and so like right now we're just kind of, doing a bunch of fixes play testing and sort of seeing how that goes now- I will say that like since then or like at around the time I was making the video like we had another play test and it seems like things have been, progressing quite nicely actually so that doesn't mean where we know how the results of everything's gonna be but, it's, yeah I mean it's just a good sign so we'll just have to see if that keeps up or if it slides back again who knows, and I think you mentioned the video too that we had internal dates that was gonna be next week actually, next week Tuesday which we're definitely not gonna meet, sadly and it probably won't be if this was a possibility right now we don't know because right now we're in the kind of limbo where we are play testing and like we probably won't look at another date until we feel like yeah now the game is shaping up to be in a state where we feel like we can actually release it but, yeah it won't be next week it won't be the week after that, that's for sure, yeah yeah we know that much for sure yeah but, we'll keep you guys posted when we know more it's gonna be like really like down to the wire as usual usually we do announce these updates like a week or two before they do come out, so I mean it's nothing new for you guys really, but now we're like a little bit uncertain ourselves even like what's going on, and like there's a lot of different reasons why we're in this position but, the the the whole like Crux of everything is really that the game isn't in a good enough state, because it's not just like the Unreal Engine upgraded and it's not like there's a lot of different factors as to why we're in this in this position, but yeah we decided that instead of setting in a hard deadline for ourselves we're just gonna like keep at it it's voice meter how did you know we didn't want to say it we've been trying to avoid it yeah yeah we've given voice me just so much [ __ ], so, but yeah we had another play test today or last like Friday last week as well, and things are getting better, and, I was just chugging along just chugging along so the question here is there a chance that Unreal Engine 5 is canceled if there's too many problems that'll occur, no there's no chance for that, it's it's not like it's not like so severe like again like we have made it like as clear as we possibly can and say that it's not just under Legend 5 for starters right but not only that, like there was a certain amount of growing pains with Unreal Engine 5 that we knew we were gonna have and that we were gonna face and largely it has been that like maybe there's some other unforeseen things that have popped up too but we're closer to fixing that and getting the benefits of that than we are, to undoing all the work we've done re-implementing the stuff that we've done back in unlimited four and then everyone will have to then also then deal with the limitations of under London four So like, canceling on 105 I think is really really not I didn't see that on the cards no that's not possible at this point, that would be more work than than fixing at least at this point yeah probably because I think you touched on this last week on the stream as well that like this also means that our schedule like our our the content that we've been putting out on our YouTube channel I like the news that we're sort of giving on the update, has also been a bit scuffed because of this, the same deal there like there's both technical issues like where I was faced with, when I was working on the teaser videos where I just couldn't produce the videos, there's both that and there's also like other issues where we're kind of like changing our minds a little bit so it feels weird to sort of give out news on like features or something we're doing with the update when we don't know for sure if that's the like route we want to go with these features and stuff like that, so so there's one video in particular that's been like postponed a couple of times because we we keep like going back and forth a lot, and that's also partly because you know we're coming around to to like when we finally have time to sit down and like think about the the stuff, we realized you know what about this what about this what about this, and that affects us in the content creation create creation realm, and our schedule so right now we don't really know like how we haven't made a decision, as to like how our content is going to be like spread out if we're just gonna drop everything like put out everything that we have like in our schedule at the moment and then be like in a weird like but now we wait for the update and we don't know what's coming out or if we like gonna like space it out or but yeah so we I did ask that in the video last week and a lot of people have like, given their like takes on that or like and quite frankly it was across the board a lot some people just wanted everything up front some people were like actually you know don't share any more and wait until you've got everything locked down then start sharing stuff again and then other people said just to space it out I think that we're gonna somewhat like lean on the side of spacing the content out a little bit so that we don't have to stress ourselves about what is the content we have to make if things if there are some things that aren't settled yet for example or if we're having technical limitations and instead just come up with some other content that we can just put in in between just to spread things out a little bit now like in my mind I was initially thinking we could just sort of make there's like a bunch of other videos that are completely off topic like nothing to do with update eight that I wanted to make and I was thinking we could just do some of those but then it feels kind of strange to like break that Rhythm so I'm looking into like some other kinds of content that we can maybe do that might still be related to update 8 or at least in the ballpark and and just do some fun stuff in between so yeah that's probably the the approach yeah because we usually when we do these like kind of, teaser season session thingamajigs like that that time of of the year, usually what we do is we kind of make up a schedule of like here's here's the videos that we could make potentially and then ask like every week on Monday we're like all right what video we're making this week yeah yeah, and and it's like it's it's I guess it's a little bit risky during the way because we can't end up in a situation where like we don't have a video for Friday because of for various reasons if we can't finish it in time or if if working on the video we realized like we can't put out this video right now, we're at the whim of development sometimes too right where it's like you know it's like yeah okay we planned that in four weeks this will be done therefore in five weeks we can make videos on it or something like that or it's usually not that close right but that you know and but then anything can happen and then, and then development he needs to adjust and then we have to adjust to the to the adjustment it just yeah is is what it is yeah so everything is very like interwoven sort of so like when something in the chain breaks it breaks like the entire chain, but it is what it is and like we we try to be as open as possible about this, too with the the way we do things, hopefully you guys are understanding, we've gotten a lot of really nice messages from last week's video so hopefully we're on the same page, so, yeah that's that's sort of what's going on all right most importantly people talking about when's J's going to be in 4k all right where we yeah right you guys mentioned that at the beginning right so we're in a different setup okay we're in a different setup the usual way we do things is not there so we have to use another method and so my camera is not looking as good as it usually does all right yeah usually I know this distracts the hell out of people it's also it's also doubly so much because I'm actually on a 4k camera right now and down sampled so I look extra crisp, this camera stuff is usually better than lighting is better than mine anyway but it's especially bad today yeah yeah, we had to re like revert to a backup plan because the usual system we use for for streaming Json camera just didn't cooperate today

[Music]

, so yeah you need to get a 8K camera Chase okay yeah and then and then when it gets down sampled or whatever it'll be just 4K and then we'll be normal yeah yep all right so I think we covered everything related to state of Dev, yeah we're at limbo game shipping yeah yeah we don't have a race date yeah this this and this week this week will probably not be any update a teaser content but it'll probably be update 8 related so actually what I'm actually thinking I'm gonna fill the curtain back a little here what I'm thinking is actually taking the, the world showcase stream we did with Hannah and throwing that up on YouTube I think that's that would be an amazing resource over there and there's like a lot of people on YouTube that that aren't here on streams right so they wouldn't miss that entire thing and it's really revealing of like the world changes in update eight so I think that would be really meaningful to put on the YouTube channel but if you were here for that you know that's not new content for you but, if you want to watch it again it's there so and if you weren't here for that unfortunately we couldn't put it out on like the twitch highlight, because I was out and I didn't realize that it what's the word like it it yeah yeah it's so quick a week instead of two weeks now yeah because they're not affiliate, so it is what it is but we're gonna put it on YouTube is that and hopefully a lot of people who didn't see it can enjoy it because there was a lot of stuff in the Stream, that we didn't feature in the, like in the in the original worlds video mostly showing off the world stuff due to time with recording b-roll and such
