Alpha and Beta release 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔
slim lark
😦
kindred juniper
Alpha and beta extraction
kindred juniper
So will this game consider single player down the line?
somber root
Doubtful. While it may be possible to run an expedition by yourself, it is intended for co-op with others.
kindred juniper
No AI bots even?
vestal steeple
Not even bot ai
somber root
Nope. It would be extremely difficult to program AI teammates to do what you want them to do when you need them to do it.
vestal steeple
- Will you be able to play GTFO alone?
It might be technically possible to play GTFO alone - however, at this point we can't promise that it will present a fair challenge. GTFO is designed from the ground up to be played with at least one other human player - and if we were to also make it balanced/fun to play solo, it would almost be like making an entire second game. We are a small team, and we focus our efforts on making GTFO the most awesome co-op experience there is.
- Will there be bots to fill out teams of less than 4 players?
No. What you will expect of teammates when playing GTFO, no bot can do. Creating sufficiently qualified bots would require a lot of work - it probably wouldn't turn out that great anyway and in the end it would only serve the ability to play the game in a way that it isn't even intended to played (alone).
somber root
Eventually, there will be matchmaking to team you up with strangers, but that may still not be an optimal experience, unless you work well together and communicate constantly.
vestal steeple
With voice chat, text chat and quick chat command. Playing with the community will be great. Devs will give the player a lot of tools to allow good communication between people.
somber root
^^ Even playing with people you know, communication is going to be key to success.
kindred juniper
I'd like a challenge. I just want to immerse in the gtfo universe alone
If I cant have AI bots so be it.
meager basin
GTFO really is a true cooperative game.
vestal steeple
Like Simon said, one of 10CC Devs, they can't guarantee the game will be possible or present a fair challenge to solo player. But you are welcome to try. But they mostly encourage you to also try to game with the community.
kindred juniper
They did ssay it is possible. But are they considering on adding single player option at least?
Thats all I want to know. If there is an option at all
vestal steeple
The problem with adding a single player mode to GTFO would be like creating a whole new game. Reworking the monster encounter, environmental hazard, the puzzle, etc... Something a 9-man team cannot afford.
meager basin
GTFO is built up from the start to be played with at least one another player.
And even tho there are no AI, one other player is not that hard to get.
Of course, it's different for everyone.
@kindred juniper If you don't have anyone to play with, you can count on the community, there is a large amount of user here that will be happily assist you in a game or two.
kindred juniper
No thanks?
I just want an option to play alone
Especially if I want to get in on the lore and immersiom
Just an option. If its harder so be it. Thats how I learn
meager basin
Alright. In that case, this game is hardly made for you. You can try to play alone, probably won't work out.
kindred juniper
So did the devs say there IS single player or not?
meager basin
Hold on that doesn't sound right.
You can start a game alone, but you will probably not last long.
Since you can't do, for example the hacking puzzles, and defend yourself in the same time.
Or when you have to carry large objects and you can't even shoot.
kindred juniper
Yes or no? Please provid confirmation from devs too
vestal steeple
No, It is highly unlikely you will be able to complete the whole game solo. It might be possible. but I would not count on it being fun or fair.
meager basin
It's not designed to be played alone, and without AI teammates, it's unlikely that you will be able to play it for a long time.
vestal steeple
By Might I mean. using cheat engine and glitch if you find some.
kindred juniper
Let me be clear, I dont care if its hard. I just want to know that a single player optiom exists.
meager basin
If you want a single player game, this game is not for you. You want to struggle? You can try.
kindred juniper
Guys I just want a straight answer
vestal steeple
Short and direct answer would be no. You won't be able to play this game solo.
kindred juniper
"Might be technically possible" doesnt really count as a yes or no
vestal steeple
Using cheat / exploit.
meager basin
Yeah you can. You don't need anyone else to start a game and play it.
cerulean pollen
using pirate perfection
meager basin
GTFO is a single player game. Period.
vestal steeple
pug stop trolling.
kindred juniper
Im serious here
meager basin
Am I trolling or is this person just grinding my gears?
vestal steeple
Just stop.
meager basin
Alright.
oak rune
@kindred juniper, the devs are not designing it to be single player, they are designing for 2-4 people. If an expedition happens to be playable solo then cool, but they are not designing it for solo. We don't know how much can be solod or how well it'll work out
kindred juniper
Thanks.
meager basin
Before you even mention it, this is what we have been telling you for the past 20 minutes.
meager basin
Alright.
oak rune
You have the straight answer, now let's chill and not not pick over who was right
meager basin
Look, the Alpha is coming up, there will be some players, try it out. It will be free.
kindred juniper
I still will
I just want an option.
But it cant be helped if its too much to ask
vestal steeple
You are not alone Tricky. Many people would also like this game to be played solo. Or at least with AI Bots. But the devs have a vision to make this game the Best coop experience on the market and I would still encourage you to try it with us, the community, and see how you feel about it. They welcome all feedback.
kindred juniper
I hope they will consider a single player option down the line. Even after it gets good sales.
And on another note i just hope they wont repeat the same mistakes as OTWD has
vestal steeple
On that, I can't say that's impossible. but after PC release. they are aiming for console.
left basalt
i am gonna make a good guess on no :o they wanted to be GTFO a co-op game, and not a singleplayer game, even if you can try this game alone. but dificulty impossible
@vestal steeple maybe
vestal steeple
OTWD gave a big lesson to everyone trying to make coop game.
kindred juniper
I think its because the puzzles require at least 2 people to complete. Thats the only thing I see as a reason they cant implement single player
vestal steeple
The combat too.
kindred juniper
Like the special enemies?
left basalt
it is like having 10 HP in l4d2 highest dificulty and 0 bots
without the option to like push the enemy back with right mouse ;)
kindred juniper
That theres an enemy youu cant kill without someone helping?
vestal steeple
Imagine a scenario where the room is dark, you have EMP interference and you are fighting a horde of invisible monster. You cannot use your flashlight or motion tracker due to EMP wave. You will need a teammate to provide an EMP Shield, another the motion tracker, and the 2 others inmate their flashlight and combat prowess.
kindred juniper
If its just combat. I think its still feasible
left basalt
it is a mixture of stealth and combat, but at some point you have to enter combat (loud) and a horde with like 50 enemies and having low amount of ammo is hard
jovial stream
You can play the game solo but the game wont scale or be optimized for it.
kindred juniper
If a scenario requires you to use a gadget and another person to use another gadget to get past a level, i can see why its impossible since its designed that way
@jovial stream wait what
I thought its not....Im terribly confused now
vestal steeple
omg slewey XD Let's just get a Devs in here.
kindred juniper
Isnt it a given that in a coop focused game, playing solo is suoposed to be hard?
somber root
It's not a matter of wanting to implement single player or not, the devs are creating a game that requires carefully planned teamwork.
left basalt
slewey
yes but like for example payday2 is kidnergarden (on highest dif) compared to this game
kindred juniper
Is what slewey saying is legit?
jovial stream
What part confuses you so i can explain it?
vestal steeple
The best and accurate answer would be the one from our admin D0c
kindred juniper
I can play single player
somber root
As has been explained, you CAN play single player, but you will probably find the game to eventually become impossible.
vestal steeple
It's the best all around.
left basalt
okay i am gonna get this straight here now since i played the game : You can allways start a mission without having a full team, you get no AI to help you, the game does not scale down. it is gonna be impossible hard.
vestal steeple
Until a Devs come in and tell you what THEY are designing.
left basalt
good luck on that and fail miserably
jovial stream
I felt thats what i said earlier lol.
somber root
You will basically have two guns, one melee weapon and one tool to get you through everything that comes at you.
Tool is a choice of: Sentry Turret, Glue Gun, Motion Scanner.
kindred juniper
But they were saying that you can but its impossible. Which makes me think its you really cant
somber root
There are a couple others that I can't think of right now.
meager basin
🤠
left basalt
exactly it is not designed to play solo
kindred juniper
But then you guys say I cant because game isnt designed that way so therefore there is no optiom
somber root
Theoretically, it's possible. Realistically, no chance.
left basalt
cuz of the dificulty and the disadvantager you have from Ammo/coordination
kindred juniper
But then you guys say there IS an optio
left basalt
passive option
kindred juniper
So thats where I got confused
meager basin
GTFO is still not an SP game, you can technically play it solo, create a game and start it alone, but there is too much shit that makes it way too difficult to succeed alone, that it's just generally a bad idea.
somber root
Okay, there is no option when you start to choose "Single Player"
left basalt
not real option like * turn AI off* or singleplayer button
i can imagine it might be like: you open up a lobby and just start
somber root
It is, and will always be "4-player Co-op"
kindred juniper
@meager basin thats the answer im looking for
meager basin
Alright.
kindred juniper
Wait so how can you even play the game solo if there is no option in the games UI interface?
somber root
There is no scaling for varying number of players. The game will assume you are a team of 4.
oak rune
You just start the game and it starts with however many you have in your team
oak rune
However with less than 2 people the devs can't guarantee that it's possible as single player
kindred juniper
Sounds fun
somber root
If you are going to enter a room with 20 enemies, there will be 20 enemies whether your team is 1 or 4.
kindred juniper
I' ll try to make it possible to finish a map solo just you wait
oak rune
As others have mentioned opening doors or some tasks could be extremely difficult to the point where you'd need to be a god tear player, might actually be impossible, whereas with 2+ people it actually is possible with the right setup.
The devs just want your expectations set correctly, if you get to go through most/all if it as a solo player then that's really awesome, but they just don't want anyone thinking they can go in as single player and beat the game as if it were coop, because they are designing it for 2+ players
kindred juniper
I aint gonna complain that the game is unfair just because I only played solo
Dont worry
oak rune
Sweet, then I wish you the best of luck, I look forward to hearing progress in how far you make it solo, I'm sure the devs will as well.
meager basin
You should have started with that, in that case there is no problem here.
kindred juniper
Imma try
meager basin
You can try, all tho if your plan is to stay offline, bad luck, you will need internet connection.
somber root
Also keep in mind, your health does not recover. You must use medkits to heal yourself.
kindred juniper
Game dev Crunch is spreading. Hopefully it isnt that bad there. A vacation is good.
somber root
No Dev Crunch at 10CC.
That's why they've pretty much stopped estimating dates on the roadmap.
kindred juniper
I hope that roadmap is legit. Unlike Anthem's roadmap
oak rune
the roadmap is legit
kindred juniper
The guys at Anthem used their roadmap as a cover really. In the end they didnt fulfill their promises in that roadmap.
meager basin
Ahh, Anthem was just an overall failure.
But as far as I know it's not the devs to blame.
somber root
There are also like 10,000 different people working at EA/Bioware. Currently, 10CC is 9 devs.
kindred juniper
I think bioware also had a fault in that. Their management is just awful.
Im just really skeptical when I hear roadmaps cause of anthem.
But Im not gonna lay any doubts on you guys. Just wanna bring this up
somber root
Well, Bioware answers to their overlords at EA, I don't know that 10CC currently answers to anyone, so truly they are not under any deadline pressure.
kindred juniper
I think its best not to give any deadlines to the public but internally there should be some deadlines
somber root
Internally, they probably have self-imposed deadlines that they want to hit, but that's kind of a different story.
kindred juniper
I wonder how are characters treated here? Do they have personality? Kinda like payday 2?
somber root
They'll each have a unique personality, but won't each have a set role. The role each character plays is determined by the loadout you take with you and the play style you utilize.
meager basin
The playable characters in the game are basically "cosmetic", there are no benefits from playing one or the another.
kindred juniper
I see. So there are like cutscenes about em? Or just dialogue? Dialogue seems like the most cost efficient route to do
Nah I mean character wise. Not gameplay wise
I'd feel bad playing just a couple of blank slates xD
somber root
That's where the teamwork comes into play. As you approach each encounter, you'll have to use the information at your fingertips to decide how you want to proceed. The Motion Detector can show you how many enemies you face going into the next chamber, whether or not they are sleeping, awake, alert, agro'd, etc.
kindred juniper
No no no I dont mean that haha. I just am wondering if the characters can become memorable in their own way
Like the characters in l4d. You dont see any cutscenes but their dialogue is just enough to give them life.
somber root
The characters will engage in dialogue/banter as you go through the game. You might catch some hints as to your current situation, but most of the dialogue from the characters is pre-recorded and random.
There will be no cutscenes.
kindred juniper
Thats good to know
Because if characters stand out, they can become meme-able
Making them free advertising weapons
somber root
I think Dauda is already meme-able... lol
kindred juniper
Like payday 2's Dallas screaming "AHHHH I NEED A MEDIC BAG"
somber root
Just from the early teasers and gameplay that 10cc has shown off.
kindred juniper
Oh havent heard the name mentioned in them yet. Or maybe I havent seen the footage
somber root
The reveal trailer was narrated by Dauda.
And I believe "What the hell is this place?" was also Dauda.
kindred juniper
Well the thing I can see as meme potential is Simon's work here. He's gonna be doing the music yeah?
somber root
Yep. Music and a lot of the sound design.
kindred juniper
In a genre like this, i wonder how fighting loud would sound like.
I bet we got some sick rockin tracks as we mow down them monsters. Gonna go dubstep
somber root
I would refer you back to the early gameplay vids, but a lot has changed since, so I'm not sure how much of it is still valid.
somber root
Unity.
somber root
Yeah, user mods are not a priority for the team. Maybe later on in the game's life, but not at launch.
kindred juniper
Sorry if im comparing payday alot with this
kindred juniper
Yeah
somber root
I think Overkill was a much larger team.
somber root
Can't say I really ever got into PD2. However, since the Ultimate Edition is like $5 on Steam right now, I said why not... lol
kindred juniper
Reaaally good deal.
Payday 2 has so much replayability. Its insane how many times I've played through one map just to obtain one little thing
With that said, is this game replayable in that sense? Other than RNG mechanics in a level I mean.
somber root
Yeah, I think the main sell of this game is that pretty much no matter how many times you replay it, it will never be quite the same. Even on the same map, enemy/loot spawns will be randomized.
They haven't stated yet how many maps there will be, but all indications point at "many".
somber root
I think in the full game, you'll have some customization of the characters, and some upgrades you can apply to weapons and things like that.
kindred juniper
Very cool
somber root
The first Alpha will basically be a Network test on one single map with a minimal selection of weapons and tools to choose from and no progression.
As far as difficulty goes, I believe they have said that the deeper you go into the facility, the more difficult challenges will await.

Depends on how you do it
If the devs enable modding support it's great
if not, you could still pull a Minecraft and create your own modloader but that's tougher
warm mirage
Yeah, if they allow mod support and stuff, (which they haven’t promised to have at launch)
And I’ve heard that making your own modloader is much harder with unity, due to the way it compresses things

It's forced from the side of the company, not the person, technically.
neat dagger
If you work on that time period you do get paid extra, so there is always choice
fleet bison
Well, if you work the time period, the company still owes you days of vacation.
Not to mention that you also earn days of unpaid vacation on top of that.
And the "max amount of hours of work" per 3 days, per week, per month. And the mandatory time of rest that has to exist over three days.
And a lot of other small rules that makes it so that companies can't shove their baloney into your cannoli.
Per example, between two shifts you have to have at least 8 hours of rest., and over the course of three days, you have to have at least 36 hours of rest, if I remember correctly.

they said they'll probably have some news for us this august
and today's the 1st day of august
halcyon charm
Id love to play it tbh
theres nothing to play and hide or die looks like crap for 30 bucks
how long's it been since first news? feels like a year
meager basin
2017
rustic pendant
EA likely 2020 right?
meager basin
Maybe 2019 but most likely 2020.
I mean, they said that if everything goes right, the EA version might just release in 2019, but now with their recent vacation I personally doubt they will be able to push out 4 individual Alpha and Betas in 5 months.
Unless they kept their work so hidden, that there are dozens of missions, expeditions, complex areas and etc. finished we don't know how about.
vestal blade
Hoe about. Heh
meager basin
I just changed that you
versed terrace
@halcyon charm they just changed the price to 25$, 20$ at release for hide or die 👀
game's got potential I guess, good thing they changed the price though, 30$ is a bit overkill
halcyon charm
nice!

So it's kind of like Dead by Daylight on a larger scale?

Hey remember when it was my idea to put the #voice-text channel just above the actual voice channels instead of the general category
somber root

meager basin
That cookie is rock hard
Oh right
It was baked when the channel was moved. Like 6 months ago.
Can I have a fresh one?
somber root
What are you talking about? It’s fresh from the oven!
meager basin
Yes, the oven door wasn't opened for 6 months.

Aye
warm mirage
Yep.
As I have predicted with my Ouija board, people are tired of waiting for a game they have little to no recent news to excite them.
And in regards to the recent #gtfo-media spam, how many people do you think are in this server that are interested in the game? Are we the only people? I don’t think so....
near pebble
we're all interested in the game, news or not
no need to pressure, but please, I need my dosis
meager basin
The developers are back and working fulltime again. This is my subjective opinion, but the features list on the roadmap are almost finished, I think the Alpha could possibly release before September.

probably in September?
meager basin
Maybe I'm too optimistic

probs early September
AFTER people have had the chance to buy custom RX 5700 XT cards
warm mirage
I don't think anyone wants to pressure
This isn't a "work the dev's to death" situation here
this is just simply "hello can you actually market your goddammed game"
meager basin
revolution
rain mica
Who hurt you
tepid acorn
No reason to market the game too early when you have limited resources
steel talon
wow
meager basin
The game is not ready for actual advertising yet, after they got some money from Early Access they can advertise the 1.0 release, in my opinion.
Since they are self funded they need to focus on their priorities, which is delivering the game.
versed terrace
Hey, deliver a great game and streamers/youtubers will make a ton of free ads
torn dew

tepid acorn
Not to mention that they also have the luxury of already having a community before the game is even out
I think it'll be fine if the game is good

We don't know yet. Best bet for when alpha release (not beta) is to follow the roadmaps.

The game comes to Steam
Alpha is going to be free for all Ambassadors
Fancy? Indeed.
glad olive
I looked at the road map and its saying that they haven't updated it since June 27, but it also says that they are on vacation ( I think )
glad olive
Hell of a vacation
meager basin
Well, they weren't exactly gone during that 1 month.
Some of them, including Simon Viklund and Ludvig were working in the office, or at home on the game.
They shared some minor stuff about the developement with us, short gameplay clips, etc.
glad olive
cool
meager basin
If you want to check them out just go to #gtfo-media and check the pinned messages.
You will find gameplay clips, screenshots, a funny video from Simon as well recording sound effects for the game.

Sweden has some norms like a month long vacation during the summer each year where most businesses shut down. a few of the devs at least worked a little bit during that
meager basin
And yes, that also. In Sweden, you take long vacations.
glad olive
jeez
oak rune
Send an email to a swedish business right before/during that time and you'll get a response "contact us back in a month", literally

That’s the way it should be
But the actually gameplay in payday too isn’t too bad

You just have to play it for a few days to get the hang of it
Yeah same here
But if not atleast they should find bugs

As I don’t want the 2 years of waiting to go to waste

we will see how worth the game is once its out

What server? @wet kiln
dusk rapids
So question im a streamer can I stream alpha/beta stuff?ordo i need to not do that.
slim lark
You are allowed to stream the alpha and beta. So people know it is a alpha or beta, there will likely be a icon in the bottom right or other corner showing it is in a early access state. @dusk rapids
@wet kiln Just because 😄
meager basin
Neat
dusk rapids
yay

so any idea of Alpha date??

@slim lark yeah thanks i heard.

@tired sierra The Amish use phones?
minor dagger
If amish use phones, EA don't care about money
tired sierra
amish use phones yes
mostly pre paids
amish are not completely anti technology
most only use their phones for business because its nigh impossible to have a job nowadays without any sort of tech
they also use technology like the printers in walmart, normal cameras
they just dont like cars or actual bikes i guess
they have those weird scooter things
scooters with bike wheels.
fleet bison
Wasn't the foundation of amish to be independant on electrical power and modern inventions?
fleet bison
Feels like if you lose the fundamentals of your identity, is it really the same then? Maybe in spirit, but practically, it'd be quite different.
tired sierra
they still annoy the shit out of anyone by driving horse and buggies everywhere and slowing down traffic
still do the bowl cuts
still all wear the same clothes
still live seperated from everyone else
so i'd say they're still amish

hey y’all got any tips for game story writing and music creation
I’ve been interested in some friend’s game for a while and they’ve invited me to help out and stuff
and like apart from like 10 minutes in Bosca ceoil I’ve got like no experience
neither do they, but that’s neither here nor there
neon forge
general worldbuilding or within the context of being explored through a game
cuz pacing is HUGE
warm mirage
both
yeah, pacing isn’t going to be fun
I’ve got a post-apocalyptic scenario with an overruling dictator who suddenly dies
and then the next dictator gets attacked by “balance” forces who are rebelling anyway
so I kinda want to re-write parts, but the post-apocalyptic bit could stay
but yes; tips and tricks
I mean I'll try not to fall into the cliches and stuff
neon forge
oh post apoc is pretty easy to write
just dont detract into too many subplots and it should play out fine
warm mirage
I’ve got two major factions written in, but I’m not sure about other encounters
oh wait, it’s effectively a single player
what am I on
thin void
the team's small, so give them time
wet kiln
That’s true
Plus they had a break
And I’ve been waiting for a year and a half
So get used to the waitin
warm mirage
@oak rune My thoughts on ?suggestion is generally positive, athough I feel a way to interact with the suggestion is gone now, so I'd like to make a mini-suggestion of a #gtfo-game-suggestions-chat or something similar.
It's most definitely useful, it's just that we lose the "well but here's something you may have forgotten about"
neon forge
yeah having a purely upvote/downvote removes the refining of the idea
warm mirage
instead it's just updooting
oak rune
Yeah the intention to resolve that issue is to do ?suggestion In #gtfo-chat and then you can discuss after
