always it's always the same you can never guess what it is CH you there's always always the sameon you have a good always always the same think you have a good always the same I think you have a good there we go okay I killed the echo you can't hear Hannah right now no you you can't you can't speak at the moment because, the moment your mic goes on the voices the voices are, speaking do I have a browser up no may maybe no I have no idea chat settings wise nothing has changed nothing has we did move a bunch of Hardware around because we did film a video, well today yesterday and last week for this Friday that video is still coming it is complete all the filming is done but that was only Hardware right only Hardware there cameras and mics moving about software wise everything should be the same and everything should be connected the way it was before we moved the hardware with the exception of we now have a capture card for our mute CM over there no I am watching the Soundbars wait wait wait wait wait it they they did not act like this right before the stream when we tested ah keyword should, H you could just yell at me try speaking now see what happens try speaking now and see what happens I'm sorry everybody yeah yeah yeah yeah is it working I think chat please please, don't troll me I beg all right we we need need reality okay cool okayo I mean imagine the absolute torture of me like not being able to talk and then I could just like chill over there you know you could just do the stream by yourself we need a muted command man man at the risk of Burning Bridges in the future Elgato Jesus Christ man why why you know I have a feeling this is one of those cases where it's it's like it just happens no matter matter what like it's just weird cursed technology no matter what technology it is it's just bound to happen wait why isn't the agenda moving the agenda is stuck on q& a it's very much on state of death on my end can I change it to the wait if I remove Q&A oh yeah it is it is on Q&A on the stream, anyway in case you hadn't guessed it yet the the reason why we were late was technical difficulties would you believe it chat would you I know it's like it's so surprising I would never have thought okay listen the agenda will be stuck we'll be on Q&A all day that's fine for me cuz I have a confession to make Chad oh I have a confession to make yes are you ready for this Hannah- I've already heard it you have I'm super ready for you to humiliate yourself in front of an audience humiliate myself I am busting my ass at coffee stain at the moment humiliating myself I'm busting my ass doing every critical task that I have to do bro snoot snoot snoot was a dab like snoot was a wall keeping the the work away like when he left I didn't I didn't I thought I knew how much he tanked, being like the Vanguard with me just cleaning up behind him I thought I knew I had no no idea I had no clue, no one's really ready to be Community manager ever these bags are growing heavier every week, this is important I know hearkening back to the workload, critical tasks were done and filming was done and spontaneous happened last week U she can confirm she can confirm, highlights were not done for this stream either because just what is time, and no matter what happens yeah no matter what happens we are making deathly sure that no one and that very much includes me Works more than 40 hours a week like always so, highlights had to take a small backseat this stream too got to got to stay healthy here yeah, we don't want we don't want burnouts they're already easy enough to happen nobody would ever burn up cop in this field in this field I mean yeah we're making games guys it's so fun it's so much fun it is very fun yeah mhm, yep the highlights thing is kind of funny because, the thing was I never intended for there to be Highlights today anyway because I was intending for the middle segment the Highlight segment usually to be me and Hannah playing the game Jam games that came out of the game Jam last month, so I was planning on having all that set up and then we dismantled the YouTube mode of this room and went back to Twitch mode and everything caught on like infernal fires everything blew up and so I was sat here dealing with audio issues for almost 3 hours instead so I had no time whatsoever to actually double check that audio, and anything else with that matter with the games from the game Jam were working on my desktop and through obs so, we're gonna try we're going to try there will be an attempt, and, yes hopefully some of it works we'll find out we'll find out we'll find out, what's even funnier is that I was going to look into some way for us to play these games separately from our own ends our own PC separately together, obviously obviously there was no time for that too so what's going to happen is that we are going to play these games all on this PC and we are going to do a little, seat swap between the games so on occasion I will be called Hannah and, she will be called mik you'll live with that thank you I mean basic this is just the beginning of us just slowly fusing together into like the mega Community manager or something to the body pillow oh God no yes no no why why does that make too much sense for me to be comfy with it I think you're just like that uhhuh I took from someone a certain individual who shall go unnamed do the Fusion Dance Yo would you be up for that that'll be sick Power Rangers it up let's go yeah, and finally about the technical thingies so last stream I was actually kind of content with where audio end up ended up in the end, we realized that would there would be slight pickup from each other's mics if any of us grow too loud, aha I muted myself I got you there damn okay yeah okay okay rude you can't you can't be me my game can't let me have my own fun I've been I've been I've been fighting a war in this room for the past three hours I'm just trying to relax now to proide provide myself with a laugh if nobody else these bags are not bags of te wow you you've got a you've got a large, large Supply there ready ready for deployment, so yeah, don't worry the games we're going to play our, Prime like Catalyst I think oh God yes, so yeah, the same basically hopefully minus the little hiccups making us late and also the Echoes In the Beginning hopefully everything tech-wise should be the same as last stream, and that's basically I guess the initial even like pre-state of Dev fir fire so, talking about the actual state of Dev what have you been doing lately on satisfactory Han, I did some bug fixes, yeah, and, I talked to I talked to some people yeah yeah we had meetings today was full of meetings yeah I don't get it you were supposed to make a game like why why we some planning in the room for for like like making things yeah, and, are you telling me like people have to come together to like decide together and sync up on what's going to happen in the game yeah unfortunately it's not a tyranny here so we're going to we're going to have to go the Democratic way oh yeah what I know it's it's it's a lot of talking that really is Game Liv nutal you talk you believe how many meetings are involved I can I can confirm this by the way doubly so because, part of part of this coming video on Friday, is going to be interviews there are going to be three interviews with, a pair of people for each interview so six people in total and, you'd think like I mean yeah six people and these interviews I mean I was kind of fine doing them was there anything blocking my schedule like last Wednesday Thursday I can't remember I think I was fine doing these basically whenever from Wednesday Thursday, onwards and they finished today like the third interview finished today before lunch they are like maybe half an hour each they were like the sessions were half an hour each in the video they'll be like just a couple of minutes each, and getting these interviews done like syncing them to be like yo people when do I have time SL when do you have time, made me realize yeah people are very busy people are locked up in meetings all the damn time you can't and then even just coordinating time together with multiple people already a challenge yep ah so, where does where does that leave us it leaves us with what the video is about I think I was secretive about that last stream I don't think I told you I don't think I wanted to tell you you didn't I don't think you did yeah but, since we are again mentioning the game Jam today in the first place in the middle section the section that is supposed to be here I've just spoiled it no longer question marks but I can't change it because the agenda is broken so it will still be a question four question marks, the video will be about the game Jam game Jam that happened mid January when we came back from vacation yeah, talk a little bit about, just briefly about why we do them, why we do this game Jam it's supposed to be a yearly thing we hope going forward and then again having an insight into three out of five games but also still talking about all five and mentioning showing all five, about that and then at the very very end they're I shouldn't mention too much about the end of that video yet you'll you'll see for yourself on Friday yeah guess you got to watch it then unfortunately no so much work yes and if you missed that I think it's almost two streams ago even was it last stream or the previous one where we got the links together you remember oh two ago yeah so, if you type in exclamation mark game Jam in chat right now you can play all five of them done this year for free promise also you know we're not there's nothing weird in there we're not spying on you it's not it's not spyer it's not a trojan virus promise funny thing is that I again just like right right right before this stream trying to, just make sure that the games actually ran in the first place on this PC in case we wanted to try to you know show them on stream today which we will try to, Windows Defender did tell me protected you from malware so, if you get that popup please trust us we are not trying to actually it is what it is we promise indeed which which one was the one that triggered that, danks the I mean honestly it is the most likely one it is the most toxic of the games that's really appropriate most likely game, game called Dan and I mean yeah yeah oh I mean chat is correct like even satisfactory itself is struggling with Windows firewalls sometimes so you know you can't win them all can't even win the big one yeah yeah and that one does infect the Mind mhm oh your dreams your life your family might never see you again excuse me chat wow no excuse me and a little, a little, accumulation of mucus that sounded way more disgusting than I intended sorry you know we're keeping it real yeah, another point of state of Dev pertaining to satisfactory is the fact that we last week opened wait two weeks ago actually was it last week it was last week excuse me, we opened up experimental did yes last week we did yep yep, the video about that was two weeks ago that's why I'm confused yeah no it was after the stream last week that we, opened that up, I just realized sorry I saw in my I saw in my peripheral that, that that that, oh God this is going to be a mess, I saw in my peripheral that, the QA like the link to the QA page is still the q& a from last week which is dead so you can't currently post Q questions for that se which is bad I should fix that yes and for reasons pertaining to the tech difficulties of the stream chat I had to swap browsers to make the stream work so I'm not sure if I have to like manually log into stream elements and at the moment, so sorry do give me a try to remember your your password yeah oh even your username sometimes passw, do give me a minute chat while I focus slightly slightly more on my desktop than on you excuse me but you have Hannah which is honestly like among the yeah I'm I'm I'm here upper I have like so much to talk about about like Community Management schedule what have you played Hannah have you seen anything on Steam nextfest that is catching your interest I mean yes, I downloaded like 15 demos yesterday cuz- I don't know it's such a fun time to just try things out, and, yeah I don't know it's it's always an interesting way to also kind of challenge your own conceptions of like this is what I like, or this look good but then kind of anything that is interesting in any way even if it's interesting and that it is confusing and you don't quite understand what the game is trying to be you should try it or at least in my case I want to try it just cuz like it might actually be really cool even though cuz it's always so hard to judge a game just on pictures or even a video right it always feels so different to play it, so yeah there was, oh God what was that there was this cute little puzzle game that I tried hold on, I have been wearing for a puzzle game lately and I've actually been, it's not part of the next Fest but I've been kind of intending to try the rot trees on dead sometime soon H if you know that game I don't know I don't know that one I haven't seen it but, is this seat taken is the one I was talking about it's very cute little puzzle game that was like it like looked neat and then I played it and it was better than expected right and it's one of those things we're like ah I could I could absolutely spend some time with this so you know and then hopefully you know tonight like across the week I get enough time to play all the demos, evil puzzle game the witness I mean I've been trying to check that out or at least I've been meaning to check that out, I also want to try the gothic remake cuz I played Gothic 3 way back in the day when I didn't know what I was doing and I had no idea what what anything was cuz it wasn't in Dutch I believe so I had no clue what I was doing but hey fun time, we we think I think we managed to save the QA let me, is there a light the end of The Horizon let's see if we click this link it worked okay thank God I think it's, yeah we have we have a Q&A page good oh again if you just tuned in we're not in the Q&A, it says so on the agenda because it's broken and, and, screw me if I'm going to try to fix that right now- I won't, we'll get there eventually but if you want to post your questions until we get the do so, I'm wondering about the steam next Fest because, it's this week which is very very bad because I am busy tonight and I am busy on Thursday and I and and and Monster Hunter Wilds Monster Hunter was releasing this week yes which is, yeah- I think I think like at least when it comes to the the the designers I think most of them are going to actually disappear for for at least a week you know, so this is, yeah I'm gonna I'm gonna come into the office on Monday and no one's there no there is there is some hard consensus on please don't call me next week or next month for that matter, yeah no evening plans no all of that's reserved time, I actually straight up no joke had this exchange with Ross yesterday as well, just mentioning yo I want to hang out with you again soon, and he was about to like go pref how soon is soon and- I wasn't done with my sentence cuz I was going to keep going like and I know I say soon I do mean like maybe end of March because get me and you have to get me too soon in adult terms like I understand that soon soon is not feasible whatsoever for any of us oh boy oh and yep exactly try what's up by the way Monster Hunter Wilds will eat time until patch 7.2 of Final Fantasy 14 which is maybe a game I may or may not have resubscribed to after all fully so, it's been good on that front by the way been super super light raid log barely 4 hours a week just chipping away slightly at the ultimate with my homies, and it's almost dead it might actually there is a non z% chance that we kill that fight tonight it's a very low chance but the Chance is going to climb exponentially every day from now on mhm that's hype yeah so so all of your free time is is basically reserved for those two games no so that's tonight and Thursday yeah oh yeah in general yeah absolutely yeah it'll still be like back to raid logging in F for March but Wilds will be wild oh thank you thank you you're far too kind I'm not no I mean relatively, all right chat, I don't think we left anything else out of oh yeah no sorry I did touch on experiment experimental, there are there was an update to ex to exp yesterday as I believe leave or if it was if there wasn't I just spoiled something for you which is well I probably shouldn't have maybe it's today, well the cat's out the cat's out of the bag so I'll just say it, our QA lead what did he write to me I was so up in my own head doing let's read his message out loud on, on, you're putting it on blast is he prepared for this prep for this oh yeah no okay now so listen now I'm not to I'm not too concerned about saying this because it's actually already part of the video anyway of the EXP video anyway, that video mentions that there will be changes coming to foliage and other down later down the line, later than Tuesday last week and I was just confused if that later was Monday yesterday or today, or even later it turns out there are e it it is even later but he sent me some specific internal updates not even spoilers just jargon about that yesterday that was what I was confused, but that part of the video should also be hitting exp quite soon so now you know that soon TM, pretty much everything yes we're concerned that's exp, I do believe that covers everything for state of Dev unless you have something super hot in the oven that you want to share right now Hannah nothing that's legal to share three do we can I mean yeah would they fire you like I yeah they would probably fire anybody who toes the line too hard I mean I guess if it becomes a pattern of behavior but also yeah not worth it
