Get oof the hype train little one
whats happening on june 1st? @eternal oxide plz
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.
oh ok thanks man @twilit thicket
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
Everyone. 😁
Haha well can you help me make sure I’m not going crazy? They are adding things to the list right? @warped swan
What exactly do you mean?
We are in the pregame period right now, so a lot of stuff is going to constantly change as we move into the Alphas
Like shader driven gui is new, first version of player ping system too
Yes,, things will be added, dropped, completed and updated almost constantly. That's how gamedev generally progresses. Some things work, others don't.
I get that, my question was I’m not going crazy seeing this. Happy to see the progress going on though!
No, you aren't going crazy. The roadmap was just updated a couple days ago.
Can confirm ^
yesteday
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
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
CHAINSAWS
12th December 2018 ova' here
Dec 8th 2017 for me. It has been a long wait 😃
It is already June the 1st here
Singapore?
Philippines
Sweden
isn't there some kind of harvest festival in the Philippines close to this time of the year?
the big brother of Asia
Can we move this to #amba-general please, we've gotten a bit sidetracked from GTFO. Thank you.
Added on 22/01/2018
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.

it was worth a shot i guess
plenty of games out there to play till the big 1 hits...
I added mine 1/28/2018
December 9th or September 12th 😛
when was GTFO Announced?
2017 May 27?
doesn't seem like it been 2 years, wow O.o
May 31st
Name reveal video upload date on Youtube
Yeah it's been just 2 years since the name reveal video
wow, we're almost there everyone! 😃
? like it is reaching alpha soon
I have a theory
^^
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!
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
Unless they read this, and intentionally delay it to August.
would be great to have the alpha released in summer but it is up to them.
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.
Yeah I have great expectations for GTFO but I'm keeping my hopes moderated. All we can do is trust them 
Summer = end of June 2019 haha
i'm excited for gtfo 😄 the gameplay looks good not looking forward to that face snatching creature and especially the shadows
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 😂
😂 😂 💀
Sorry for being such a nub/pleb but what does amba mean?
Ambassador Chat. Only those that have the Ambassador role will be able to see this chat.
ah ok
dammit the date predictions only added fuel to my hype
Are there any news about open alpha? Are we gonna see the full game release in 2019?
!tag alpha
: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.
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.
Lol pug
Seems like it is reasonable to expect Early Access release by early 2020 followed by full game release by mid to late 2021?
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.
Is the monologue voice in the trailer supposed to be the warden?
That's is Dauda, one of the 4 playable characters.
Really?
Yep
Oh
I thought it was the complex itself
How do you know it’s duada?
fine question
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.
Crazy team
ffs xD
Just to make sure we are on the same page it’s this video we are talking about right. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-vSYJckIfi8
Yeah
You're a video
Okay
oof
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 )
Yes that African accent is Dauda, the voice actors name is Jude Akuwudike
Is he referring to the monsters or the other survivors when he is monologuing?
Probably referring to his inner cheese demon
I see
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.
doubt it
I doubt your overall ability to doubt foreign and abstract concepts
Wait... Thats illegal..
I'll make you illegal
This is beyond science....
I thought it would be funny if Dauda was talking about the players
breaking 4th wall?
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
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
so what is your next prediction
Well, 2 to 3 weeks every time.
my prediction was during E3
but it happened before
I’m just excited they are almost done with a majority of the first Alpha phase
just a bit earlier
Yeah, there are only "work in progress" squares left
which is great
hope the beta comes out before summer ends
(X)
OMG OMG OMG
who knows
updates
Alpha 1 is coming before July, I can feel it
"Playtests in office"
I see that they are still enjoying the vip first player games
creepy feature ( °w°)
feature creep is the term for... small updates
very small updates
i think
something like that
"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
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.
10 4
basicaly game polishing if I understand it right
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.
Like gambling
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
So if they complete feature creep does that mean they stopped it, or embraced it? 
Probably stopped it since embracing it means that we would never get an alpha as they would be continually adding things to the checklist
they add the task add tasks to the rode map
You mean the fanbase or the developers?
i think he means the Developers
Insert "whynotboth.gif"
@harsh mountain creepy update = hungarian subtitles 😂
Ok
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
And they begin work soon oh shit tommorow is the 17th
@harsh mountain what was ur next prediction for the road map update
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.
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?
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.
probs 4 weeks to be safe
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
"Update elevator sequence graphics"
The point is, unless the developers are sneaky beaky like
I don't think it could release before the end of June
All tho, IF they can release the Alpha 1 before the June 22nd, basically they released the game during Spring 2019 😎
Remember Spring 2019?
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.
It's always summer for me here - what matters is the monsoon season from September to February
(floods)
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.
so July is the start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere?
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.
ah I see
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.
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
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
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)
GTFO devs be like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRWvfMLl4ho
Hmm
Time will tell
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
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.
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
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.
yeah I was refereing to "in the future" like the final version of the game
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
@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.
But notice that you say early years of FPS
but we are not back in the early days
Though I get what you’re saying
we are not even today, we are tomorow
Something like the old doom would work but it’s considered a reloading animation
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.
They are a mechanic
The actual reload time is a mechanic, not the animation.
they definitely make the game better, 10cc are making a great game in every aspects, so we focus on less important
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
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.
That is the absence of an animation.
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
If you don't see the gun reloading, then there is no animation.
The gun is moving and the gun becomes reloaded
Meaning it’s still considered an animation
in programing, no animation is an animation
I guess that’s true
but what are we even talking about?
Are you guys trolling? That's semantics.
I suggested a feature for the finished, polished game
sigh it’s an animation
I even removed my message
The programming part I have no idea
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.
The entirety of the gun moving and then getting ammo (even off screen) and then moved back on to screen is considered an animation
anyway, animations are already in the game, let's stop fighting about language mechanics and move formward plz
What were we talking about before the sidetrack lol?
Goodnight Xaeteal and zombie
gnight!
Our opinions on the reloading
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?
I found out that it's because of the time between "gun reloaded" and "back to aiming"
not even the reload time
I just wonder if the different mod would have a different animation
I hope it will kinda be like payday, a mag with more bullets and a mag with less reload time
might have a faster ads mod too in that case
make damage slow reloads
or heavy damage interrupt reloads LOL
with a prompt of course
high stress situations
i mean
the game is hardcore
but not realistic
i dont want weapon jamming
at all
oh no weapons jamming - just harder reloads
Doom 2 style
No reloads
Infinite magazine
Unless its a double barreled, you have to reload that
wouldn't fit the game imo
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."
it sounds cool
It is cool
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
repurposed mining gear
the entire complex has been completely isolated and confined from the rest of the world due to the outbreak
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
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
Yeah, I mean the backstory to the whole expeditions
im not sure about the lore
evo could tell you
but i have a feeling he is not going to reply
oh uh
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?
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
maybe they are low on money 🤔
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
but weapon is a more suspect kind of goods
I mean even an AK-47 is dirt cheap these days
maybe they are doing it secretly and buying a lot of weapons would raise suspicion
tho they could just blackmarket everything
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
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"
probably secretly supplied by symphatizers at the top
that too
Anyone that has the financial, technical resources and political clout to build the complex in the 1st place
Would be really large
so they have a bit of weapons and they give them to the newcomers from the previous ones who died
and still be there to 'clean up' the mess
they wouldn't be smalltime business fellows
sounds like resident evil (the movies, escpecialy the 1st)
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
we are sure that the characters we play are emplyed by those big companies?
probably the survivors
maybe we are sneaking through
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
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
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?
sounds overthinked but why not
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
So earth earth mining doings, got it
Like what?
like what pug? we need to know man!
Next time on dragonball
So, who do we talk to about getting a content creator role?
For the time being it's not available due to the game not being out yet.
Details haven't been finalized yet and we don't know whether if users can stream the upcoming Alpha or not.
It's given to those who create videos/streams playing GTFO
None do
So none have it
Not at the moment at least.
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
cough steam greenlight is gone
Really?
Yeah, since like 2 years
https://steamcommunity.com/greenlight/
If we continue, let’s go #general.
5 days left until my birthday, me probably disappoint
Had mine yesterday..
Congrats, both late and early!
My birthday was yesterday too!
My birthday is in 9 days 👴
🎂
Happy birthday to everyone! Now that's sorted out.
:3
someone keep a look on the roadmap
Thanksies Pets Puppy
I’ve been checking the roadmap everyday just to see if the date would change. I think I have a problem lol
Not at all friend
You see it’s close to testing day
Sometime next week or the week after that
Maybe
I’m hoping for next week
same actually, glad im not the only crazy one
We’re all crazy
I wouldn’t be surprised if someone made an app that updates them when ever the road map updates oh wait the twitter feed
Thanks :3 @proper spear
Well it’s good to know that there are others that speak out about checking in everyday. Has there been any word on this that I may be missing?
There’s only less than 4 days left till the end of the month
Spoke too soon. I just saw the update to the roadmap
And it wasn’t in the twitter feed smh
They’re on vacation now
So does the email indicate it won’t be out for at least another month since the roadmap won’t be updated for that long?
Well at least we know to wait until August. Guess I’ll brush up on some Payday 2 for the time being
oh man i am hyped 😲 🔥
There is no official date that it would be August 😉 but we can just asume that. But i do not live up for expectations 😂
Damn I remember when people did not believe me that test version wont be available until Fall
I'm sad to predict that
yep ikr
August 🤔
december
Sure, August - but what year?
2077
August 2017
Wait
🤔
oh shit
it was 2018!
Oh man I lost track of time! Damnit!
I still feel like the Summer 2018 was months ago.
I mean just a couple of months ago, not 12.
hello, when we will be able to test the alpha or beta? 😄
We don’t know yet
They’ve said “not before August” so probably in August or September we’ll be able to test it
But then again, we don’t 100% know when it’s coming out
tnx
Np!
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
I was one person saying that
But considering how many points are left on the roadmap I would assume september
@harsh mountain Which compared to the other things is easier
so you're right on that.
@drowsy ingot I'd think so too, looks like early September, possibly late August
Wtf u mean i said that
At first i said august then jus tthen i said probs semptember @stiff basin
Keep dreaming. It's almost a year overdue. Delays are massive.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yes
I remember joking about a developer’s discord tag where the amount of d’s delayed the game
He was dlorddd
He soon switched it to dlorddddddd
Then dlorddddddddddd
And each d delayed the game by a week
SamTMJ
rhobitttttttt as of now
Until 20:34?
anyways, gtfo soonpleas
I can wait untill that
what do you guys think about the company logo evo found
until 2077
@dense jasper
What logo
THE logo
Sure, i'll post it again in lore.
what logo?

GTFO: exists
Me:🤠
Me: 😱
^Ludvig on daily basis
Any news? I'm not following GTFO atm, first alpha 2020?
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.
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
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".
Give him a GTFO Alpha key. 🤠
give him a pug
lol i would be happiest to just get a chance to play this alpha. that would be more than enough
Happy early birthday Zombie. Mine is on the 17th this month.
You'll definitely be able to play the Alpha! Even the Beta! 😄
Is he the only one guaranteed to? cause i was hoping it would come out on my birthday in july when i saw the "Not before June"
Everyone who has committed to the Newsletter will get in the pre-versions x3
Thanks @warped swan, happy early birthday to you too! Mine is the 20th. I'm hyped!
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.
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.
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
You can view the roadmap here: https://gtfothegame.com/roadmap/
@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
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.
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.
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". ?
Even if everything was green, doesn’t mean they will release it just then
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.
does anyone know if in the beta we will have access to dev console commands like no clip or triggering events?
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.
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.
low key i hope the dev's and op's don't pull a Bethesda and punish people who find stuff out of bounds that would suck
I mean, I don't think they will
But we really don't know, due to the little interaction
what's dumber about that situation is that banning them only brought more attention to the lazy and half assed testing of fallout 76
Ooohh, only 5 more orange markers left on the roadmap!! There was 7 the other day


hell yeah
Oh cool I have access to ambassador chat, sweet
Purge the new D-class!
Inmates
They could get creative with the update logs, for example, one if the four characters telling us the new additions
more infor for the hive mind
Telling us about a new expedition for example, they got told by the Warden to tell us the rest of the info we need
But it's not neccesary.
need moar conscripts
is there a way to join the testing or is that completely closed right now?
Being an ambassador is being on the testing list
Once you're an ambassador all you gotta do is wait
Also what were people talking about with the whole D-class thing?
I got no idea.
We were joking around with similarities between the D-class personell (prisoners) and GTFO characters (also prisoners)
There aren't many similarities tho, but we were just goofing around.
Orange jumpsuits/orange role
Yeah, something like that
Short for ambassador
Shortened to fit the discord’s channel name limit
Just like the 32 character limit for your username/nickname
oh lol
We always say "amba" within 10 Chambers, like "so what's gonna be in the new amba mail?"
Or that Kek
Sound like a tease for the next one 😝
Hopefully alpha keys ;)
🤞

From the SCP game yeah? I never really enjoyed that one
When was the last amba mail sent out? I don't remember receiving any but I'll have to dig, maybe I missed it
It’s been a while.
Last mail was on: 27th June 2019 i think.
Alright cool I found that one, just need to make sure so I won't miss a potential alpha invite!
thanks pup
yeee, it's been green for a week
😅
hopefully another "In Development" marker will go green soon
we're so closeeee
just 5 more
Yes
I’m so glad people are going green for Earth! Well it won’t be any faster, but at least it’ll be done quite soon
CLOSED ALPHA 2 has: More decals in the environment (blood splatter and disgusting stuff)
and in the video, monsters break up into some kind of round clots
do you think, at Unity, will they have NVIDIA FleX support?
I don't know what that is, but if it makes the game look better then I hope.
@harsh mountain absolutely does better, but it is a bias to the side, only one of the manufacturers of video cards
was kinda hoping to see them at gamescom
Yeah they are focusing on releasing the Alpha sooner, becausenof this they didn't attend at E3 or gamescom this year.
Sit tight guys, remember it is crunch time
The devs will probably have a lot of "technical debt" to pay
so don't have unrealistic expectations
If developers reading that chat i have (mb) good idea. If somebody downed one sleeper will try to grab him to nest (or out of here i dont know). it must be slow. i think it will make game better
oh found😱
Remember, I was talking about mechanics, not when light wakes up monsters, but rather
this "The Flock"
I think for a game with a dark theme it's interesting
look)
it would be a lot easier to give suggestions if we had even a little more information, but i guess itll have to wait for alpha
yeah, the suggestions will come more naturally once you guys get to play:)
@proper spear Yes, by the way, will you have any instructions or recommendations for alpha-testers, or is the point that they should find something that you could not?🙄
we will probably have some sort of known issues list etc, if that's what you mean?
@proper spear this is exactly what I meant
I just remembered the case when testers managed to stick a flashlight on his head to an invisible boss, hahaha ...😬
5 Main Features left 😄 http://gtfothegame.com/roadmap/
yee
Is there an ARG for this?
not yet
what’s an arg
oh that’s cool
👍
Hey all 😄
Hello!
Hi
@tranquil pine not yet? Meaning there's one planned?
No but most coop games have secrets akin to args
fair, I only mentioned it cause someone in a server I'm in posted this https://www.reddit.com/r/GTFO/comments/crohpl/the_santonian_industries_in_the_trailer/
leads to a site which has nothing so far, except something in the HTML
Yeah im expecting secrets based off this
neat. Would be nice if there was a launch ARG tho. Been dry on good ARGs since end of march
good morning
cant wait to give them my money
everytime i look up the steam store page, im hyped a bit more

H Y P E
Welll muck me
I'm really excited to play the game
It looks so hecking cool
That's what I've been saying for the past 9 months
Tho i dun get why in the videos enemies drop potatos when they die
Alien parasite eggs
Or something
Some people raised their concerns about it
"Hey bro what is this"
And others
I personally don't have a problem with them
I assume they are also placeholders for more gore
Oh 🅱 dun worry those are just potatoes nathing to worry about 🅱
Yes I expect them to be some temp replacement for blood later in development
I hope GTFO will also be scary
It's probably pretty intense at some points
Yeah thats what one the admins said
Since when?
I remember finding the game on Steam by July 2018 but joined the Discord when it was created in December 2018
I used to play vermintide a lot and suddenly I got this game recommended so I checked it out and it looks so good
Uuh I have to check when that was
No matter the wait, GTFO gonna be lit!
Yes!
The game grew soo much since 2017
What used to be a small scale coop game has evolve into something big, but the 9 man team didn't changed. Devs told us the playable version from 2017/2018 some member played is gone and totally different.
I've been waiting since the second of February 2019
I really feel like this is a game I'll enjoy playing
Haven't had that in a while
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
Great to hear! 🙂
i feel like a small child holding a fork and a knife at a dinner table anxiously waiting for food
father,,,,,
gtfo please,,,,,
no,,,,
potatoes tonight,,,,
nooo,,,,,
@shadow tulip whadup
Hi!
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
it's been crossed out since the update @sage osprey
Oh good, im not as slow as usual today 😛
Pre-alpha testing was added instead.
Good spot ^_^
excitement intensifies
😄
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
yeah
There will not be any kind of NDA
Streaming is most likely going to be allowed
there's nothing really confirmed on that
There will be watermark, stating that the game is in test phase and not final. You won't have to sign NDA. @sand ridge
😱
There is nothing concrete on a watermark either
does that mean we can share stuff?
yeah
There isn't anything direct from the developers on a watermark though
at least, nothing public
Yes it is
They've said they're considering it
The AMA
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.
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
Feel free to ping Simon though, I'm sure you guys talk about it more than me.
You are welcome Shaddohh!
@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"
They'll have more info when it gets closer to the alpha/gets announced
I’d just like to know that I interpreted his words correctly, I am known to read a little too fast sometimes.
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
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.
What's the big deal about a watermark?
So fake news is the issue not that there might or might not be a watermark?
he’s saying there will, and is 100% confirmed
@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.
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
I don't care when the alpha releases, it's this year though so I'm pumped
@warped swan
That's fair I'm all for the watermarl
The bit I'm confused about is if people get upset about it
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
Yep.
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
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!
Still excited for whats to come!
Thanks @uneven jay so am I !
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.
hey, volume mixer exists
I sooo want to pin this watermarked music comment XD
Pin it! Pin it! 😉
the game secretly overrides your audio mixer and prevents it from being lowered
Every third bullet you shoot a watermark showing the texture and effect are still in alpha
Hah
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"
"The Warden has a mission for you: this is an alpha build"
The Alpha Build Warden has an Alpha Build Message for you Alpha Build Players: You are playing an Alpha Build
Every 100 new messages, GTFO Bot will post this GTFO discord is still an alpha
Ah.... the waiting... T.T still waiting.. it seems an eternity... can't wait to play the game T.T
a bird on my bath window in the morning whispered that tomorrow the alpha comes :)?!?!?!!?
must be a bird of the wrong side.
Speaking for everyone here 🙂
and just as a added bonus you have the content creators say that this is an alpha in a catchy way!
Is today the day?
🤷
🤔
🤦♀️🤦♂️
Good vacation! Hopefully we get to play soon.
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
Nothing has been decided on that yet.
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
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.
you need to make a step
to get ambassador
that the most important things
make a step
It's been there for a while. Simply show your friends this channel and how to become ambassador.
wait, how do you get access to the alphas and betas?
they aren't out yet
you can;t get access at the moment
ok
but, you get "access" by signing up for the ambassador thing which you have
It's just a waiting game for us now
Same..
Me too 
ouh, nice
I turned mine off, had to work 😦
good thanks, ive been building servers in a bunker haha. no light for me
Nice
kinda felt like I had a warden in charge...
how you been @proper spear keeping busy? lol
good, its what we like to hear. is the team stressing out or pretty chill?
Huhuhu
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)?
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.
Oh yeah, speaking of getting downed, are there a fixed number of allowed downs per player?
Not at this time, no 🙂
As long as your teammates are alive to get you back up, you should be fine
So infinite revives :o
if your team manages to stay alive for so long 😉
ohhhh
@proper spear oh yeah, have you considered adding environmental traps? :o
We have a lot of stuff in our pipe 😉
Ooooh
I think tomorrow would be an absolute great day for the alpha release :). What u guys think?
If only 🤔
It's your birthday tomorrow, right @somber tide ?
No 😄
Back from holidays tomorrow
Todays my 3rd wedding anniversary, if that helps for release 😄
Nice! Congratulations
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
Nice! Good luck!
good for you @somber tide !
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!
thank you!
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.
Glad to hear that! 💙
Gotta plus1 that post
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 
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 
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!
Road Map has been updated woooooo
?t roadmap
You can view the roadmap here: https://gtfothegame.com/roadmap/
Was alpha tutorial vids removed before?
no
from 5 unfinished block to 3 blocks left
@tiny dagger the "Closed Alpha 1 tutorial videos" was removed on the last update like 2 weeks ago.
It was crossed out
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
Simon tweeted this a while ago, looked a lot like the elevator sequence to me https://twitter.com/SimonViklund/status/1141107727151878146
Will there be some kind of Hub?
Between missions?
Like in deep rock galactic for example
No there won't be.
