for some reason I swear there was an email when they switched the game to GTFO that had it said Get The F*** Out.

eternal oxide
#

5 days left until June the 1st

#

cross fingers

harsh mountain
#

Get oof the hype train little one

oblique wagon
#

whats happening on june 1st? @eternal oxide plz

twilit thicket
#

The devs said to not expect the alpha before june, so he's counting down until june hoping that's when it is. But all we can do is wait.

oblique wagon
#

oh ok thanks man @twilit thicket

harsh crest
#

Who was the person that looked at the road map and checked what has changed? Got a question for you before I use the way back machine

warped swan
#

Everyone. 😁

harsh crest
#

Haha well can you help me make sure I’m not going crazy? They are adding things to the list right? @warped swan

warped swan
#

What exactly do you mean?

old ocean
#

We are in the pregame period right now, so a lot of stuff is going to constantly change as we move into the Alphas

harsh crest
#

Like shader driven gui is new, first version of player ping system too

old ocean
#

Yes,, things will be added, dropped, completed and updated almost constantly. That's how gamedev generally progresses. Some things work, others don't.

harsh crest
#

I get that, my question was I’m not going crazy seeing this. Happy to see the progress going on though!

old ocean
#

No, you aren't going crazy. The roadmap was just updated a couple days ago.

warped swan
#

Can confirm ^

harsh mountain
#

yesteday

full peak
#

@harsh crest yeah, things were added

#

nothing was changed though, just things added

somber tide
#

if there is a dog make sure we can pet it

#

also idk if this is a thing, are there melee weapons and is it viable to use them exclusively

warm sand
#

Yeah, there are melee weapons. Whether if using them exclusively is viable is unknown since we don't know all of the gameplay mechanics the game offers. You take quite a lot of damage from attacks, so completely relying on melee is high risk tactic if enemies are alerted.

There best use is for stealth kills to avoid alerting other enemies.

I'm sure someone will show off a melee-only playthrough on youtube, no matter how tough that is

Patience is key. One trick is too keep thinking about GTFO, watch all interview and gameplay of the game and F5 spam the roadmap!

P.S.: Don't, just play something else and wait for the official announcement.

Name reveal video upload date on Youtube

#

Yeah it's been just 2 years since the name reveal video

dark bridge
#

wow, we're almost there everyone! 😃

harsh mountain
#

Where

#

👀

#

dark bridge
#

? like it is reaching alpha soon

harsh mountain
#

I have a theory

dark bridge
#

^^

harsh mountain
#

April 23rd to May 10th
May 10th to May 27th

#

These are the dates of the last 2 roadmap updates

#

I didn't count before these, but I see a pattern here.

#

It's 2 to 3 weeks.

#

Roadmap was updated on May 27th, which way 11 days ago. My calculations show that the roadmap should be updated in the following week.

#

Let's say... June 11th. If they don't add anything new to the roadmap, but rather just finish the stuff already on it means that all the features on the roadmap list will be finished before the end of the month!

#

June 11th +14 to 21 days means it could release later this month, or early July!

dark bridge
#

they are keeping us updated anyway even if it is something basic as reloading animation. It looks like by the end of summer we might see something

harsh mountain
#

Unless they read this, and intentionally delay it to August.

dark bridge
#

would be great to have the alpha released in summer but it is up to them.

harsh mountain
#

I'm sure they gonna ship the Alpha 1 during this summer. Sooner or later. However, with no confirmed release date we can only hope. My guess is before mid July.

dark bridge
#

Yeah I have great expectations for GTFO but I'm keeping my hopes moderated. All we can do is trust them crySub5

stiff basin
#

Summer = end of June 2019 haha

charred radish
#

i'm excited for gtfo 😄 the gameplay looks good not looking forward to that face snatching creature and especially the shadows

somber tide
#

From what we know, teamwork will be important so I'm assuming most people will use voice communication. I hope people don't mind me screaming 😂

😂 😂 💀

somber tide
#

Sorry for being such a nub/pleb but what does amba mean?

old ocean
#

Ambassador Chat. Only those that have the Ambassador role will be able to see this chat.

somber tide
#

ah ok

hushed timber
#

dammit the date predictions only added fuel to my hype

somber tide
#

Are there any news about open alpha? Are we gonna see the full game release in 2019?

old ocean
#

!tag alpha

real hullBOT
#

:information_source: Thank you for your interest in testing GTFO. The game is still being developed and there is NOT any date set for when the Alpha will be available. The only timeline we know is to not expect it before June. In the mean time we recommend you visit #become-an-ambassador and make sure you are signed up as an Ambassador, as well as keep an eye on #game-announcements and your email as it'll be communicated when more information is available. You can also follow along on the roadmap (https://gtfothegame.com/roadmap/) which will show you what they are working on.

There will be at least one alpha and beta test (free), along with Early Access (paid), then final game release. There are no timelines for those either as the 10 Chambers wants to make sure the game is the best it can be and not rush it.

livid galleon
#

I can add that there's no chance that the full game will be released in 2019, but there is a chance we enter Early Access.

harsh mountain
#

👍

#

It's now confirmed, there is no way back. I got it screenshotted.

remote kestrel
#

Lol pug

stiff basin
#

Seems like it is reasonable to expect Early Access release by early 2020 followed by full game release by mid to late 2021?

harsh mountain
#

I mean if the game went on Early Access in December, that would be good for me. But developement can be hell, so I'm fine either way. The devs should take their time.

turbid roost
#

Is the monologue voice in the trailer supposed to be the warden?

modest patio
#

That's is Dauda, one of the 4 playable characters.

livid marten
#

Really?

modest patio
#

Yep

turbid roost
#

Oh

livid marten
#

I thought it was the complex itself

turbid roost
#

How do you know it’s duada?

livid marten
#

fine question

modest patio
#

There are 4 playable characters in GTFO: Hackett, an Irish native described as cynical and comical but reliable; Bishop, a distrustful English pragmatic interested in getting the job done; Woods, a thoughtful American who believes in deeper meaning; and Dauda, a determined and cunning but secretive Nigerian.

livid marten
#

Crazy team

modest patio
#

Devs revealed and gameplay analysis

#

Aka we bored so we analyzed gameplay for hours

livid marten
#

ffs xD

turbid roost
livid marten
#

Yeah

dense jasper
#

You're a video

turbid roost
#

Okay

livid marten
#

oof

dense jasper
#

Also there are multiple videos showing their personality if that's what you're talking about. I also believe they're described in the steam forums and this discord ( #gtfo-ama-answers )

modest patio
#

Yes that African accent is Dauda, the voice actors name is Jude Akuwudike

turbid roost
#

Is he referring to the monsters or the other survivors when he is monologuing?

dense jasper
#

Probably referring to his inner cheese demon

turbid roost
#

I see

dense jasper
#

But on a serious note, I do believe he is talking about the monsters.

#

In the beginning of the video he says "I don't know what I have done to them" which would most likely be on the side of the monsters as they have no idea why these scavengers are running around looting and stealing around their home. I don't believe the scavengers would say something like that as they know their exact objective.

#

Also, around the end of the video he says "I just live around it," This, to me, infers that something about him is different or not normal (unless he is some sort of weird cybernetic human), which leads me to believe that it's from the monster side.

modest patio
#

Yeah what is Dauda secretive about

#

Is he a mole?!

livid marten
#

doubt it

dense jasper
#

I doubt your overall ability to doubt foreign and abstract concepts

livid marten
#

Wait... Thats illegal..

dense jasper
#

I'll make you illegal

livid marten
#

This is beyond science....

remote kestrel
#

I thought it would be funny if Dauda was talking about the players

harsh mountain
#

breaking 4th wall?

remote kestrel
#

Like when he say “They are screaming at me” kind of how we might scream at our characters when stuff goes wrong

#

When he wakes up calm it’s because the player is in control bit him

turbid roost
#

pug you where right about your theory

#

they updated the road map

#

@harsh mountain

harsh mountain
#

yea

#

me here

#

and now we have another date

#

April 23rd to May 10th to May 27th to June 10th

#

This is pretty consistent in my opinion

turbid roost
#

so what is your next prediction

harsh mountain
#

Well, 2 to 3 weeks every time.

#

my prediction was during E3

#

but it happened before

remote kestrel
#

I’m just excited they are almost done with a majority of the first Alpha phase

harsh mountain
#

just a bit earlier

#

Yeah, there are only "work in progress" squares left

#

which is great

turbid roost
#

hope the beta comes out before summer ends

Roadmap update yasssss

#

What is feature creep

somber tide
#

creepy feature ( °w°)

harsh mountain
#

feature creep is the term for... small updates

#

very small updates

#

i think

#

something like that

somber tide
#

"Feature creep is the excessive ongoing expansion or addition of new features in a product, especially in computer software, videogames and consumer and business electronics. These extra features go beyond the basic function of the product and can result in software bloat and over-complication, rather than simple design."

  • wikipedia
twilit thicket
#

it's a term for when you're like "yeah we can add this in.. adds a day" then "while I'm here I could adjust this too". Could be "I could make the elevator look nicer" or "reload animation is good but I could make it better" and next thing you know you're months behind schedule because you keep adjusting things that are "done" before things that still need to get done.

modest patio
#

10 4

somber tide
#

basicaly game polishing if I understand it right

twilit thicket
#

not just polishing, it could also be "this feature will take a small amount of time" and leads down a rabbit hole. could be adding new features, could be updating existing ones, just anything where you start losing focus of the goal just to do one thing that doesn't need to be done right then and there.

brazen merlin
#

Like gambling

silver vortex
#

I think it's some self aware humor by the devs, suggesting that as fans we are looking at the roadmap to see what we are waiting for and we see that we are waiting for feature creep lmao

twilit thicket
#

So if they complete feature creep does that mean they stopped it, or embraced it? DrifterHmm

silver vortex
#

Probably stopped it since embracing it means that we would never get an alpha as they would be continually adding things to the checklist

frail rock
#

they add the task add tasks to the rode map

Dumb question: will you guys be at Gamescom this year?

@harsh mountain creepy update = hungarian subtitles 😂

harsh mountain

Ok

harsh mountain
#

Wait hold u0

#

There are no subtitles

#

Hold on a sec

#

There are no subtitles for in game conversations between the characters

#

I guess because everyone speaks at the same time

drowsy ingot
#

Oh shit

#

ur right

tight crag
#

Can't wait....

#

Another weekend going to end soon...

harsh mountain
#

And they begin work soon oh shit tommorow is the 17th

turbid roost
#

@harsh mountain what was ur next prediction for the road map update

harsh mountain
#

I started counting the roadmap at April. April 23rd - May 10th - May 27th - June 10th. I suppose the roadmap might get updated before the end of the month, all tho there are more features on the list now that they are working on so I understand if they can't.

stiff basin
#

So roughly every 2 weeks right?

#

Next update might be next week?

#

where most of the items would probably have been worked on

#

Followed 2 weeks later with a release on the weekend of 13th to 14th July?

harsh mountain
#

Well, for the past.. 2 months or so they updated the roadmap every 14 to 18 days, so we could say its 2 to 3 weeks. Now, if you look at the roadmap you can see that they are working on many features at the same time, so if their intention is to finish all of them at once and update the roadmap it will probably take more than just 2 to 3 weeks.

#

Last updated on June 10th 2019
They are currently working on:

  • Quick restart of Expeditions
  • “Friends only” matchmaking
  • Support for drop-in joining
  • Data gathering functionality (for future game balancing)
  • Closed Alpha 1 tutorial videos
  • Update elevator sequence graphics
  • Bug fixing and optimization
  • Menu update, flow and graphics
  • Playtests in office
#

This is 9 titles

#

They usually update 4-6 at a time, during these 2-3 weeks.

#

Now, if they want to finish all of them at the same time, it will probably take more than 2-3 weeks for them.

stiff basin
#

probs 4 weeks to be safe

harsh mountain
#

Yeah

#

And that means July 15th or before.

#

Unless they add more stuff to it.

#

To the list.

#

All tho.... 4 of these titles have been marked as "Work in progress" for a while now

#

Not exaclty sure which ones

#

I didn't take any screenshots

stiff basin
#

"Update elevator sequence graphics"

harsh mountain
#

The point is, unless the developers are sneaky beaky like

#

I don't think it could release before the end of June

stiff basin
#

nah

#

too quick

#

that is just like 12 days from now

harsh mountain
#

All tho, IF they can release the Alpha 1 before the June 22nd, basically they released the game during Spring 2019 😎

#

Remember Spring 2019?

stiff basin
#

what is the period of Spring BTW

#

for 2019

harsh mountain
#

Yeah, some people here told me that I'm stupid for saying that March 1st to May 31st is Spring.

#

They said that March 20th to June 21st is Spring.

stiff basin
#

It's always summer for me here - what matters is the monsoon season from September to February

#

(floods)

harsh mountain
#

And we were both right.

#

Still, if Alpha 1 releases before the June 22nd, they succesfully released the game in Spring 2019

#

Which would be funny.

#

Benefitial? Probably not.

stiff basin
#

so July is the start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere?

harsh mountain
#

I honestly got bored of being hyped, so I'm fine with whatever release date.

#

As far as I know it's June 21st

#

I mean, I don't fucking know.

stiff basin
#

ah I see

harsh mountain
#

I live in Hungary, CET, and Spring here is March 1st to May 31st, at least thats how I was raised by my parents, and teachers in school.

stiff basin
#

but this close, it's probably soon

#

very soon

harsh mountain
#

Anyways

#

GTFO

#

I'm not sure if there is only one Roadmap update left

#

or more

#

I mean, if they want to update the roadmap a single last time, they have to finish all 9 titles

stiff basin
#

I'd hazard that some things can be finished first before the rest

#

Or they could finish all the features except

  • Bug fixing and optimization
  • Playtests in office
#

Giving another 1 to 2 weeks for intensive final alpha product in-house testing to resolve as many bugs as discoverable before releasing it

harsh mountain
#

I mean... they finish all except those 2 and they announce a release date

#

?

#

That would be great

#

and also if they could post the tutorial videos by that time

#

(this is just speculation, there is not release date)

elder arch
harsh mountain
#

Hmm

uneven jay
#

Time will tell

drowsy ingot
#

Let us talk about the reload animations

#

ppl like?

somber tide
#

well, I may be almost alone to think that yeah

#

but I really feel like the character you are playing is kinda dead inside, I don't feel the emotion of a reload inside a place filled with a lot of fearful creatures

#

you know what, I'm watching reload animations from doom 2016 and gtfo again and again, I'm feeling like there isn't much difference, I think I was wrong, idk what's bothering me then

#

ah, I found what's bothering me

#

on both the shotgun and the pistol, the character takes a relatively long time to get back to aiming after the reload is complete, that's why I feel like the character is too calm, even tho the reload itself is enough in a hurry. also on the pistol animation I feel like the character moves the pistol waaaay to much, it's probably to show the character more of the mag, but he's in a hurry, he doen't have the time to look where he's putting his mag

silver vortex
#

The game might include reload canceling as a skill mechanic so manually ADSing or swapping mid reload could shorten the time. That might give you the snappy feel you are talking about. I imagine they want to let the whole animation play out when they are showcasing it in gif form.

#

Having snappy gunplay can feel nice gameplay wise but also set a different mood and atmosphere to the gameplay that isn't the stealthy methodical vibe I think they are going for. Then again, if it's got a bigger emphasis on challenge the snappy gunplay is gonna be much needed. Only time will tell I think.

somber tide
#

yeah, I removed my message from #gtfo-game-suggestions when I noticed I didn't know why it was feeling weird, but I was talking about putting different reload animations when the mission is in "loud" state

silver vortex
#

Since they weren't initially considering adding reload animations AT ALL until it came up as a "community suggestion" I think getting any reload animations is great. Maybe they will add more in the future, but I think it would be better to ask the devs to invest time in other parts of the game and making more content than adding more slightly different reloads for each gun.

somber tide
#

yeah I was refereing to "in the future" like the final version of the game

brazen merlin
#

Reloading animation(s) are required in a shooting game unless the game uses energy based ammo or the like

#

Granted improving on them to perfect them aren’t required until the final release

silver vortex
#

@brazen merlin I disagree, back in the early years of FPS games reload animations were a massive luxury and I really consider them second to MANY other aspects of the gameplay.

brazen merlin
#

But notice that you say early years of FPS

somber tide
#

but we are not back in the early days

brazen merlin
#

Though I get what you’re saying

somber tide
#

we are not even today, we are tomorow

brazen merlin
#

Something like the old doom would work but it’s considered a reloading animation

silver vortex
#

You are missing my point, games back then weren't lesser because they didn't have reload animations. Reload animations are a visual flair not a cornerstone for FPS mechanics.

brazen merlin
#

They are a mechanic

silver vortex
#

The actual reload time is a mechanic, not the animation.

brazen merlin
#

Their one and the same

#

The speed is based off the animation

somber tide
#

they definitely make the game better, 10cc are making a great game in every aspects, so we focus on less important

brazen merlin
#

But zombie let me be real with you... we’re not talking about polished animation, we’re talking any animation

#

Like I said the original doom’s reload would be fine

silver vortex
#

The speed is based off whatever amount of damage/ fire rate/ mag size the gun has for balance. These are futuristic weapons we are talking about the animation doesn't come first. The gun could simply lower off screen and pop back up reloaded.

brazen merlin
#

Yes that’s an animation

#

But that’s what I’m talking about

silver vortex
#

That is the absence of an animation.

brazen merlin
#

Look zombie you just described doom’s reload animation

#

An animation is the movement of a entity

#

In this case it’s a gun

#

Moving off screen

#

moving

silver vortex
#

If you don't see the gun reloading, then there is no animation.

brazen merlin
#

The gun is moving and the gun becomes reloaded

#

Meaning it’s still considered an animation

somber tide
#

in programing, no animation is an animation

brazen merlin
#

I guess that’s true

somber tide
#

but what are we even talking about?

silver vortex
#

Are you guys trolling? That's semantics.

somber tide
#

I suggested a feature for the finished, polished game

brazen merlin
#

sigh it’s an animation

somber tide
#

I even removed my message

brazen merlin
#

The programming part I have no idea

silver vortex
#

When you move your gun 5 inches downward would you consider that the act of reloading? The actual reload takes place after you lower it, and is therefor not animated.

brazen merlin
#

The entirety of the gun moving and then getting ammo (even off screen) and then moved back on to screen is considered an animation

somber tide
#

anyway, animations are already in the game, let's stop fighting about language mechanics and move formward plz

brazen merlin
#

Alright

#

I’m tired

silver vortex
#

What were we talking about before the sidetrack lol?

brazen merlin
#

Goodnight Xaeteal and zombie

silver vortex
#

gnight!

brazen merlin
#

Our opinions on the reloading

somber tide
#

I was talking that the feel of the reload was a bit too calm

#

and was wondering why

silver vortex
#

oh right, I also am on board with maybe getting more reload animations in the late game. I'm a big fan of KF2 and they certainly do a great job with gun animations

#

Do you think there will be reload speed boosting gun mods that change animations?

somber tide
#

I found out that it's because of the time between "gun reloaded" and "back to aiming"

#

not even the reload time

silver vortex
#

I just wonder if the different mod would have a different animation

somber tide
#

I hope it will kinda be like payday, a mag with more bullets and a mag with less reload time

silver vortex
#

might have a faster ads mod too in that case

stiff basin
#

make damage slow reloads

#

or heavy damage interrupt reloads LOL

#

with a prompt of course

harsh mountain
#

high stress situations

stiff basin
#

yeah

#

I mean I would screw up reloads in such situations

harsh mountain
#

i mean

#

the game is hardcore

#

but not realistic

#

i dont want weapon jamming

#

at all

stiff basin
#

oh no weapons jamming - just harder reloads

somber tide
#

no reload, you just have one mag

#

and then you fight with your medieval sword

harsh mountain
#

Doom 2 style

#

No reloads

#

Infinite magazine

#

Unless its a double barreled, you have to reload that

somber tide
#

infinite barreled

harsh mountain
#

Nice

#

Btw I would love to see a Triple barreled shotgun

#

In GTFO

somber tide
#

wouldn't fit the game imo

harsh mountain
#

Why not

#

I think there actually was

somber tide
#

then it'll depends on the look of the weapon

#

but there's already a shotgun

harsh mountain
#

I mean there was a triple barreled shotgun, that we saw earlier on screenshots.

#

But Simon mentioned that the old weapons we saw have been completely wiped, and replaced by new designs.

#

The said that in the final game you will need to scavenge for parts, or crafting materials to build/modify your own weapons.

#

His exact words from the Steam forums:

" In the final game you don't start off with that wide a range of weapons, but have to scavenge for commodities in the underground environment for modding opportunities. You'll be able to create different semi-automatic rifles, revolvers, pistols, SMGs, machine guns and shotguns with different stats (damage, accuracy, clip size, etc) through the weapon modding system."

somber tide
#

it sounds cool

harsh mountain
#

It is cool

stiff basin
#

It kinda doesn't make sense if it is an international well funded body / organization / PMC sending these men / convicts down for missions

#

If they'd have to scavenge for weapons or equipment

#

Wouldn't they be already well equipped and sent down in masses

#

The only storyline that makes sense is

#

for example

#

We all originate from a prison facility that is located much higher than the rest of the complex

harsh mountain
#

repurposed mining gear

stiff basin
#

the entire complex has been completely isolated and confined from the rest of the world due to the outbreak

harsh mountain
#

we don't know that

leaving only the prison, it's prisoners, guards and the Warden

#

who must then rally prisoners and send them down in waves to finish missions and scavenge weapons and resources

#

in order to stop / destroy the outbreak

harsh mountain
#

in the complex there are these huge ass cabins filled with a transparent substance and those monsters are swimming in them

#

hooked up with wires

stiff basin
#

Yeah, I mean the backstory to the whole expeditions

harsh mountain
#

that place is fucked up

#

in a way

#

we gotta have to find out

stiff basin
#

where are our story analyssts

#

@dense jasper

#

@harsh mountain

harsh mountain
#

im not sure about the lore

#

evo could tell you

#

but i have a feeling he is not going to reply

stiff basin
#

oh uh

somber tide
#

I'm good at giving a sense to anything, in this case it seems that those big companies don't really care if people they send die (exactly like D-class in SCP) so I guess they don't want to give them a lot of gears (maybe they send a lot of people, so it may be very expensive)

#

tho I heard that when we die, we then play as a different character, so do we also loose our equipment?

stiff basin
#

But compared to finite human lives, at least give them good decent weapons

#

that would give the best chances of success per expedition

#

Since time is a factor in any project - and expedition failures are delays

somber tide
#

maybe they are low on money 🤔

stiff basin
#

not to the extent of depriving military level decent weapons right? it is probably one of the least of the costs

#

compared to transportation, mobilization, amenities, facilities, utilities generation, biosecurity, security, logistics, etc

somber tide
#

but weapon is a more suspect kind of goods

stiff basin
#

I mean even an AK-47 is dirt cheap these days

somber tide
#

maybe they are doing it secretly and buying a lot of weapons would raise suspicion

#

tho they could just blackmarket everything

stiff basin
#

yeah true - black market

#

Seems to me more like the "big guys - corps, goverment" are UP THERE

#

sealed the facility from the top

#

and the prison complex is left with 2 choices

#

Die

#

or destroy the infestation

somber tide
#

but maybe if they go black market, sellers could take their fame in hostage, like "if you don't pay me I'll show want you're doing to the world"

stiff basin
#

probably secretly supplied by symphatizers at the top

somber tide
#

that too

stiff basin
#

Anyone that has the financial, technical resources and political clout to build the complex in the 1st place

#

Would be really large

somber tide
#

so they have a bit of weapons and they give them to the newcomers from the previous ones who died

stiff basin
#

and still be there to 'clean up' the mess

#

they wouldn't be smalltime business fellows

somber tide
#

sounds like resident evil (the movies, escpecialy the 1st)

stiff basin
#

They'd be massive corporations / JV that have the agreement and connections with the highest level of governments locally and worldwide

#

the clean-up or mop-up would be well funded and equipped

#

except in this case, they probably decided it is more cost effective to seal off the complex and secretly supply the still-alive prison facility

somber tide
#

we are sure that the characters we play are emplyed by those big companies?

stiff basin
#

probably the survivors

somber tide
#

maybe we are sneaking through

stiff basin
#

A big corp leaving it's abandoned complex with a known active biohazard unsealed and unguarded?

#

they'd at least lobby for a nuke to be deployed

somber tide
#

aaaaah, that would makes sense, the exact plot of the first RE movie

#

everything goes wrong, so they forget about the very existence of the project

#

but some people still remains

harsh crest
#

So I have a theory about the title. assuming this game has been in development for a couple of years and that it is set underground, a big topic in the news was fracking. This be the F, so the O most likely operations. Assuming this is Earth or even humans on another planet, the most generic mining company name I could think of was ‘Terra’ as in Earth with is usually referred to as mother or goddess earth. That’s the T so a word for goddess is Gaia, this the G. So I would theorise the title is Gaia Terra Fracking Operations most likely named after the wardens company/employers. What do you think?

somber tide
#

sounds overthinked but why not

stiff basin
#

There were theories and screenshots showing the Santonian Mining Corporation

my guess is that they try to never let us be sure that it means get the fuck out even though it is

None do

Thanks for getting back. I know some games allow you to apply for the role early, regardless if the game is out yet or not. So when the game is released they hit the court running.

I know when they greenlight the game to be streamed I'm definitely going to do so. I would at least think they would let it be done during the beta version of the game. Hopefully they would

You are technically correct there there Alpha should be avaliable soon, since the only thing left for them to do is to implement friends only, quick restart, and a better looking menu.

I wasn’t about to jump into the roadmap, I was just giving a quick answer

I mean say there is something else, they might push it off to September

But considering how many points are left on the roadmap I would assume september

@harsh mountain Which compared to the other things is easier

@drowsy ingot I'd think so too, looks like early September, possibly late August

There is no confirmed release date. The devs announce that they are going on a vacation on 27th June, so they should be back working on the game soon. Unless I'm wrong. I'm hoping for the Alpha 1 to release before September.

silver vortex
#

not that its super relevant but my birthday is this month so I'm really hoping it will be sometime this month as a pleasant coincidence

harsh mountain

Well, it should. I remember when we were told "Not before June". Yeah, that didn't happen.

#

Right now, if I summoned the @limpid yarrow command, it would say "Not before August".

Thanks.

shadow tulip
#

I set the current one to "not before august" but please consider it does not meam it will happen in august. It does not translate into a release date. It was merely an indication of when to expect a new update of the alpha roadmap. Since all the devs have gone on vacation.

#

Thinking about it, I will edit the alpha tag and remove the "not before august" and change it to a plain "when it is ready," or something similar.

harsh mountain
#

The "Not before August", formerly known as "Not before June" is just rather confusing for everyone.

#

Telling people to not expect the game before August, is kinda the same as "maybe August", then people ask about "August release?" and the answer they get is "No, who said that? We didn't."

#

I Can't count how many times did we have this reminder from devs, admins and mods before. Back in June, and now.

#

Basically, "Not before X" doesn't mean anything, and it just confuses people, especiallx newcomers.

old ocean
#

This is why the devs are trying not to put a date on anything anymore. They aren't trying to meet any publisher-imposed deadlines, so they are taking their time making sure the game is as perfect as possible before they let us in to break everything! I say, if that takes a little longer, so be it.

#

As we've been saying for months, the best way to judge when Alpha 1 is coming is when everything on the Roadmap goes green.

#

?t roadmap

limpid yarrowBOT
mighty dew
#

@harsh mountain i appreciate you reacting to my memes but let me ask you something, would you prefer that they release a low qualitiy game fast that they barely finished like star wars battlefront, or a game that got postponed but had damn near all its kinks purified out

#

i want this game released just as bad as anyone but i want it to be a good game since it has so much potential

harsh mountain
#

I want GTFO to be good. I also want to play it as soon as possible. Out of the two, the quality of the game is more important.

shadow tulip
#

Improved to alpha tag!

#

?t alpha

limpid yarrowBOT
#

Thank you for your interest in testing GTFO. The game is still being developed and there is NOT any date set for when the Alpha will be available. The only timeline we know is the test will release once all the dot on the roadmap are green. In the mean time we recommend you visit #become-an-ambassador and make sure you are signed up as an Ambassador, as well as keep an eye on #game-announcements and your email as it'll be communicated when more information is available. You can also follow along on the roadmap (https://gtfothegame.com/roadmap) which will show you what they are working on.

There will be at least one Alpha and Beta test (free), along with Early Access (paid), then final game release. There are no timelines for those either as the 10 Chambers Devs wants to make sure the game is the best it can be and not rush it.

harsh mountain
#

Hmm.

#

I guess?

#

Have you asked the rest of the mods, D0c, devs?

#

I mean for me it seems fine. Maybe newcomers not familiar with the roadmap will need more time to understand this. Maybe the roadmap link could be there, right after the "all the dotd on the roadmap are green". ?

vagrant quail
#

Even if everything was green, doesn’t mean they will release it just then

shadow tulip
#

Could be. I wanted to do just that, but i'm on mobile soo once I get back on desktop I'll improve it 5.0

#

I just made a quick soft edit to remove the not before august

#

I will make it better later today.

I am waiting for all the elements of the roadmap to turn green.

The vacation dot will go green soon-ish

frail rock
#

does anyone know if in the beta we will have access to dev console commands like no clip or triggering events?

shadow tulip
#

I think even the devs did not look that forward in time.

#

They are focusing on releasing a polished first alpha, first impression will be a huge deal on consumer and early review.

frail rock
#

yeah makes sense but bugs always get missed especial when they are on the clock so I'm just thinking it might be a good idea

I think we are still well away from beta at the moment. But good question, that kind of stuff would come in handy.

@harsh mountain absolutely does better, but it is a bias to the side, only one of the manufacturers of video cards

I've been waiting since the day they released the video in 2017. Still super keen. The only other thing I'm looking forward to as much is the master chief collection on PC, and a significant part of that is nostalgia.

So for this game to maintain my hyped interest for over two years and compete with the nostalgia of a game series that first got me enchanted by SciFi and gaming is very impressive

oooh roadmap update. Has the "Closed Alpha 1 tutorial videos" been moved to the next milestone? Or was it always crossed out and im being slow xD

warped swan
#

it's been crossed out since the update @sage osprey

sage osprey
#

Oh good, im not as slow as usual today 😛

shadow tulip
#

Pre-alpha testing was added instead.

sage osprey
#

Good spot ^_^

sage osprey
#

excitement intensifies

somber tide
#

why

#

@sage osprey

sage osprey
#

@somber tide because we are edging closer and closer to the first test phase 😛

somber tide
#

😄

sand ridge
#

do we have an idea of what the terms for participation will be? like NDA type stuff and all that? definitely putting the cart before the horse here, but im curious

full peak
#

yeah

#

There will not be any kind of NDA

#

Streaming is most likely going to be allowed

#

there's nothing really confirmed on that

shadow tulip
#

There will be watermark, stating that the game is in test phase and not final. You won't have to sign NDA. @sand ridge

sand ridge
#

😱

full peak
#

There is nothing concrete on a watermark either

sand ridge
#

does that mean we can share stuff?

full peak
#

yeah

#

There isn't anything direct from the developers on a watermark though

#

at least, nothing public

shadow tulip
#

Yes it is

full peak
#

They've said they're considering it

shadow tulip
#

The AMA

full peak
#

but I haven't seen "There will be a watermark"

#

dude

#

"It might contain a watermark" and "If we want to make sure we'll add a watermark" doesn't sound like there will be one for 100% certainty.

sand ridge
#

i wasnt expecting free reign like that. watermark or not, im very excited to spread the hype with some streaming and clips. thanks for the info

full peak
#

Feel free to ping Simon though, I'm sure you guys talk about it more than me.

shadow tulip
#

You are welcome Shaddohh!

full peak
#

@livid galleon If you wouldn't mind, could you clarify what you meant over the watermark for streaming please? I got the intention that it was something you were considering, but not concrete i.e. "it will have a watermark"

twilit thicket
#

They'll have more info when it gets closer to the alpha/gets announced

full peak
#

I’d just like to know that I interpreted his words correctly, I am known to read a little too fast sometimes.

shadow mica
#

They've already said streaming is fine as long as it's clear it's an inprogress build and not the final edition

#

I can't stream until I get NBN in Jan-March 2020 so I'm no longer fussed about the builds pacing at this point

full peak
#

We’re talking specifically about the watermark

#

TooooooooBad said that it’s going to have a watermark and has been confirmed officially, which I say is incorrect to my knowledge, and hasn’t been confirmed, only mentioned as a passing thought.

shadow mica
#

What's the big deal about a watermark?

full peak
#

everything

#

fake news

#

I will hold him to a standard

shadow mica
#

So fake news is the issue not that there might or might not be a watermark?

full peak
#

he’s saying there will, and is 100% confirmed

warped swan
#

@shadow mica There is a high chance that there will be a watermark in the early acess versions of the Game. The reason is so the game can be streamable without people thinking it’s the full release.

shadow tulip
#

Everything is subject to change. The lastest news we got from the devs in the AMA will be some kind of watermark to make sure people know which build the video come from.
Many thing changed over the years what we learned about GTFO, the gameplay, release date, the test phase etc. Nothing is concrete and it is in the hands of the devs.
It is not fake news, this is simply the cards we know. @full peak

somber tide
#

I don't care when the alpha releases, it's this year though so I'm pumped

shadow mica
#

@warped swan

#

That's fair I'm all for the watermarl

#

The bit I'm confused about is if people get upset about it

warped swan
#

Why would they? It’s common that early access stages have some kind of watermarks

shadow mica
#

Yeah that's my line of thought

#

I was literally like what's the bad thing about a watermark? The only reason you wouldn't want a watermark is if you're trying to plagerise

warped swan
#

Yep.

full peak
#

I’m not upset about the watermark

#

I’m upset with TooBad saying “there will be a watermark” when he should have said “might be a watermark”

#

it’s not confirmed, and he shouldn’t say it as such.

#

@shadow mica

proper spear
#

Just a matter of phrasing though, no need to make a big deal out of it:)

#

English is not everyones first language etc etc

#

But Mirror is correct in that there might be a watermark!

uneven jay
#

Still excited for whats to come!

proper spear
#

Thanks @uneven jay so am I !

livid galleon
#

The music will be watermarked. Every 8 seconds you'll hear a voice say "THIS MUSIC IS ALPHA" and you can't turn it down.

full peak
#

hey, volume mixer exists

shadow tulip
#

I sooo want to pin this watermarked music comment XD

old ocean
#

Pin it! Pin it! 😉

west shadow
#

the game secretly overrides your audio mixer and prevents it from being lowered

shadow tulip
#

Every third bullet you shoot a watermark showing the texture and effect are still in alpha

tiny dagger
#

Hah

old ocean
#

All of the textures in the game are watermarks indicating an it is an alpha build.

#

All of the dialogue in the game is "Hey, this is an alpha build"

twilit thicket
#

"The Warden has a mission for you: this is an alpha build"

west shadow
#

The Alpha Build Warden has an Alpha Build Message for you Alpha Build Players: You are playing an Alpha Build

shadow tulip
#

Every 100 new messages, GTFO Bot will post this GTFO discord is still an alpha

river quail
#

Ah.... the waiting... T.T still waiting.. it seems an eternity... can't wait to play the game T.T

somber tide
#

a bird on my bath window in the morning whispered that tomorrow the alpha comes :)?!?!?!!?

warped swan
#

must be a bird of the wrong side.

peak yew
#

I am /excite for GTFO

#

I neeeeeeeds it!

warped swan
#

Speaking for everyone here 🙂

uneven jay
#

and just as a added bonus you have the content creators say that this is an alpha in a catchy way!

somber tide
#

Is today the day?

warped swan
#

🤷

median junco
#

if god doesnt exist then why is GTFO a thing

#

somber tide
#

#

when i come back, i expect to play the game

shadow tulip
#

Good vacation! Hopefully we get to play soon.

somber tide
#

thanks 🙂

#

Is there any chance ambassadors might get some extra codes to give to friends? I keep trying to get some of these dolts to sign up but they're lazy lol

twilit thicket
#

Nothing has been decided on that yet.

old ocean
#

Best bet would be for them to sign up if they are at all interested. If there are no extra codes for friends, that's on them. lol

harsh mountain
#

If being an Ambassador would be a more restricted thing, with less people being able to get access, it would make sense, but the way it currently works, everyone is free to sign up and recieve access to the Alpha+Beta, just ask them to sign up.

edgy current
#

you need to make a step

#

to get ambassador

#

that the most important things

#

make a step

shadow tulip
#

It's been there for a while. Simply show your friends this channel and how to become ambassador.

main spruce
#

wait, how do you get access to the alphas and betas?

twilit thicket
#

they aren't out yet

full peak
#

you can;t get access at the moment

main spruce
#

ok

full peak
#

but, you get "access" by signing up for the ambassador thing which you have

shadow mica
#

It's just a waiting game for us now

tight crag
#

I'm dying guys....

#

Waiting is super killing me

proper spear
#

Same..

regal lava
#

Just play some GTFO while u wait

#

Iz that ez

proper spear
#

true

#

I'll just start the game up now then @regal lava 😉

regal lava
#

Me too PirateSimon

proper spear
#

ouh, nice

somber tide
#

You could release it on friday

#

Im back home then 🙂

harsh crest
#

I turned mine off, had to work 😦

proper spear
#

ey, broken,
long time

#

how you been?

harsh crest
#

good thanks, ive been building servers in a bunker haha. no light for me

harsh mountain
#

Nice

harsh crest
#

kinda felt like I had a warden in charge...

#

how you been @proper spear keeping busy? lol

proper spear
#

Indeed I have

#

as usual 🙂

harsh crest
#

good, its what we like to hear. is the team stressing out or pretty chill?

somber tide
#

Huhuhu

nova sinew
#

So am I right in thinking that there is no "timer" on downed players that they have to be revived by? And that the players are only "dead" when they are all downed (nobody left to revive them)?

harsh mountain
#

Yepm

#

There is no death timer after you get downed.

#

You can be revived by your teammates at any time.

#

If all 4 of you die, then it's game over.

regal lava
#

Oh yeah, speaking of getting downed, are there a fixed number of allowed downs per player?

proper spear
#

Not at this time, no 🙂

#

As long as your teammates are alive to get you back up, you should be fine

regal lava
#

So infinite revives :o

proper spear
#

if your team manages to stay alive for so long 😉

uneven jay
#

ohhhh

regal lava
#

@proper spear oh yeah, have you considered adding environmental traps? :o

proper spear
#

We have a lot of stuff in our pipe 😉

regal lava
#

Ooooh

somber tide
#

I think tomorrow would be an absolute great day for the alpha release :). What u guys think?

regal lava
#

If only 🤔

proper spear
#

It's your birthday tomorrow, right @somber tide ?

somber tide
#

No 😄

#

Back from holidays tomorrow

#

Todays my 3rd wedding anniversary, if that helps for release 😄

proper spear
#

ah, fair enough 😉

#

good for you!
My first ani is on Sunday 🙂

somber tide
#

Nice! Congratulations

somber tide
#

Congrats! @somber tide and @proper spear My fiance is about to finish college and when I finish college then we're going to get married. Luckily we have no debt, but I still have a couple years in the cs field and am deciding if I want to continue on a graduate's degree.

Congrats

somber tide
#

Nice! Good luck!

#

good for you @somber tide !

vestal cove
#

wow great to see this community is so healthy and so wholesome

#

I don't actually know why I don't use this Discord more honestly

#

congrats to everyone and good luck in your endeavours!

proper spear
#

thank you!

somber tide
#

I won’t name any discords specifically as I don’t know if it against the rules or not, but it’s a shame to see so many good games ruined by toxicity on the forum. There are some good ones out there where people honestly like to help people out and maintain good relationships with the devs. So far this is among the top discords I’ve been in for games, most servers this healthy are community made.

warped swan
#

Glad to hear that! 💙hugs

somber tide
#

Gotta plus1 that post

vestal cove
#

me too

#

I could also name a few

#

the one I use the most is not as wholesome but has a cool community, the SCP: Ascension one

#

it's not toxic, but it might look toxic at times (but it isn't, I promise)

#

plus one mod hates me for a few things I said and did GWcorbinTopKek

#

but that one is cool as hell

#

then you see one about building/creating/making things (not Minecraft tho, also good people in there but mostly randoms with no connection whatsoever) and all you see is toxicity even coming from the mods GWaobloChildPepeShrug

#

cool enough, I'm gonna make a cheat first day it gets released

#

this Discord indeed makes me wanna help testing which hacks would work and how to get them patched, not gonna lie

#

I WOULD DIE FOR YOU

#

Thank you ladies & gents.
Really means a lot!

Almost their!

#

Have an important request to make

#

Can we have a sneak peek of the elevator sequence graphics?

#

latest one that is

#

For the amount of time that deliverable has been worked on...

#

It had better include a motion captured scantily-clad lady Warden giving each player a French kiss before they descend

#

hah hah hah

#

Will there be some kind of Hub?

Between missions?

#

Like in deep rock galactic for example

No there won't be.
