@upper ore The alpha and beta are free. Early Access and full released will be paid where full release will be less than a standard game of $60.

Pre-order can be done when will pass 1 alpha test?
lilac fulcrum
There are no plans for pre order but there will be able to purchase early access when that is available, but that is a bit far out. Alpha and beta will be free.
peak gazelle
thank
blissful dove
No pre-order, no. We won't say when the Alpha will start until we're sure we can hit that date. So you just have to be patient for now.
junior forge
Will there be a supporter upgrade?
kind trail
kind trail
We don't
There is a roadmap that is usually updated, and when it's close to being done we can find out
The developers are not giving a release date until they can be absolutely certain that the game will meet the deadline, so no release date will be given and no time should be assumed until an official date has been given by the development team. You can follow their progress of development as Harold said on the roadmap which you can find here:
http://gtfothegame.com/roadmap/
That being said, you can participate in the alpha tests of the game by signing up as an ambassador on their website. That way you can still play the game during these phases as all ambassadors will have access to the alpha playtests. If you haven't signed up already, you can do so here:

im already an ambassador how can i play?

use the roadmap to see how they are getting on

Please keep this channel for question regarding GTFO.
Move to #general or #gtfo-chat to have a convo about gtfo.
gloomy pilot
idk if anyone asked yet but this isnt gonna switch to an Epic exclusive at the end is it?
rapid saddle
Nope, This game will remain on STEAM for multiple reason
@gloomy pilot
12) Will GTFO go to the Epic Store or stay on Steam?
GTFO will stay on Steam, for many reasons. For example, Epic Store doesn’t provide P2P relay servers, something GTFO will rely on. We also believe our fans are already on Steam.
gloomy pilot
you have made my day

It is very good that will remain in steam

What's the movement going to be like? Kind of slow and clunky, faster paced like payday, or somewhere in between?
steady adder
obsidian condor
I think he means the speed normally and such
Like normal walking, crouch walking, running etc
lunar bay
u want to stay stealthy so at first it might be slow, if it wents loud it is faster paced, but again you get back to stealth so. It's a mix , you want to stay healthy and stealthy as much as possible
obsidian condor
...that’s kinda what he already said
rose basalt
i think he just means movement speed in general so
going by the trailers, it seems it will be slow
obsidian condor
^
but then again they were just going slowly in the game so you could look at the surroundings
coarse spire
Well they've said there isn't going to be any advanced or fast movement like sliding, wall jumping, etc. We've seen gameplay outside of the trailers and the pace seems about as slow, the thing is if you go to fast you run the risk of fucking up and alerting a pod of monsters which wastes the small amount of ammo you might have leaving you fucked at an APEX door in the future. There'll also be sections that force you to move a bit faster like areas without O2 but besides that it'll mostly be a pretty slow, methodical progression.

Will there be special monsters/creatures in GTFO?
pale tapir
not sure
but pretty sure theres different enemy types if i remember
so maybe
usually i think its the same type mostly
dire jungle
Alright. What about cache locations? Like little posts with some or minimal resources such as general munitions with tactical/lethal weapons such as: grenades, flash bangs, concussion grenades, or heavier weapons? If those are a plan or idea at least lol
hallow pine
@dire jungle I can't answer your second question, however, for your previous question I recommend you read these posts from Simon discussing the presence of "special monsters" in GTFO. They're very insightful:

Alright, thanks.
hallow pine
No problem 🙂
dire jungle
One more question for today lol
Will there be invitations for closed beta or will it be open beta? Or if there's gonna be any beta testing at all for GTFO? Or is it ONLY going to have an early access release?
hallow pine
You beat me to it Harold, in regards to the betas, I'm not sure if there will be a fully open beta, although I wouldn't rule it out. To be on the safe side and to gain access to all alphas and betas, register as an ambassador if you haven't already 🙂
pale tapir
roadmap will tell when itll release
youll need to check it every tuesday i bet
or monday?
dire jungle
Alright, cool. XD
I'm just doing some quick info grabbing since I'm phonestuck. Thanks guys.

No problem Gamebrain 🙂
I'd recommend reading through the whole of #gtfo-ama-answers when you get a chance, it contains a lot of useful information about the game.

@blissful dove Will the early access version of the game be a "full access" to the full version?
Like obiously we get the betas free ( being ambas)
But there isn't a price difference right?

@kind trail
2) What will GTFO cost?
GTFO will be priced below the premium price point (meaning, GTFO will cost less than $59.99.) We can't say the exact price yet, but you will get a lot of bang for your buck. The game will be cheaper still during the Early Access phase.
Please don’t mention devs, they will see it when they have time 😃
blissful dove
@kind trail "Will the early access version of the game be a 'full access' to the full version?" - I'm not sure I understand the question.
fleet jolt
I think what it means is "If I buy the Early Access game will I have to buy the the game again once its officially released?"
coarse spire
I could've sworn I answered this idk where my answer is
But yeah that's exactly what he's asking. @kind trail with the way steam works you buy the game in EA to obtain early access. You will get all subsequent updates for free including the official release. Only thing you'd have to buy afterwards is any dlc released.
kind trail
Thanks honey
I thought it was that but I was a tad bit worried for a minute, considering I don’t buy that many early access games
blissful dove
Yeah if you buy the game in Early Access, you are rewarded for being an early adaptor by getting the 1.0 release as well.
edgy cove
is there a ETA other than this year for the game release? (IE. winter)
knotty jolt
What movies/games inspired the making of GTFO?
lilac fulcrum
I believe they've mentioned old movies like alien
pale tapir
Alien is pretty similar yeah
hexed bronze
Ridley Scott was a big influence on the game.
amber flint
Considering it was previously stated on steam that GTFO to be released in spring of 2019 and then to just some time in 2019, does that refer to an early access release in 2019? Or just something the players can expect to play before 2020?
lilac fulcrum
Right now the info we have is to not expect any alpha testing before June. They want to have plenty of time after a test to make changes. They don't want to provide any dates until they are certain they will be achieved.
amber flint
Alright, so is it safe to assume the full release won't come out until at least 2020?

@lapis nimbus Just a quick reminder if you don't have a question then any general discussion of GTFO should be directed to #gtfo-chat channel. Thanks.

I am sure this question have been asked somewhere else before, but I am curious. How does this game differentiate from games like L4D or Spacehulk: Deathwing?
lunar bay
first of all you hvae to stay quite, which is not possible in L4d (random horde appears) second, you have limited ammo and supplies. 3rd. no ai bots for more hardcore action. 4th. the game changes to your pace, enemies might change during an expedition/map. 5th puzzles for supplies
neat mortar
Thanks for the answer 😃 It's seems like minor points though, but I look forward to see more of it.
lunar bay
also take a look at the steam 10 minute gameplay footage ;D
neat mortar
I did and it looks great, and L4D might be a really bad comparison, but in some aspects it makes me think a lot about Deathwing, granted that GTFO looks a lot more refined and creepy. I was just wondering how it would differentiate (Other than the obvious spook/survival factor) 😄
lunar bay
well it's a mix between l4d and other coop games. like i enver saw anyhting like that before

5) Will GTFO come to platforms other than PC? (E.g. XBOX, PS4, Switch, Linux)
GTFO will come to PC first. The development team is too small to pull off a simultaneous multi-platform release. If the PC version is successful enough, that would give us an opportunity to put GTFO out on other platforms as well, which we’d love to do!

Does anyone know if there will be stuff like winter/tundra maps or dessert maps. And if there will only be underground maps?
rapid saddle
The game take place underground inside the complex. There will be multiple sub-theme to the underground complex but I would not expect a outside map.
Taken from the GTFO-AMA. @torn hornet
Lebu asks: While looking over some of the screenshots on steam and the trailer, it seems like most of the game will be played in underground maps. Are there any open or above ground maps being planned?
Answer: GTFO takes place inside the underground Complex at all times, and I think that concept in itself is an integral part of the game's identity. There are other interior sets than the mining tunnels and storage rooms though - so there will definitely be more variety to the surroundings than what you've seen so far.

Sorry thats not what I asked. But I guess it's still uncertain if the Early Access version will be pushed to 2020 or not.

Will GTFO have anything Escape From Tarkov style implimentations or will it be more like Payday, where upgrdes and things are mostly through point systems?

You gain new weapon and tools from scavenging expedition. Slowly improving your arsenal in-between each new expedition you start.
You begin and end each expedition with the weapon and tools you started with.
fleet marten
so you're saying escape from tarkov stuff? what i find is what i can use?
rapid saddle
You do not change gear/tool inside a mission
fleet marten
wait yeah i understand what you said, tha'ts not the question
i'm talking outside of the raid
rapid saddle
Unless they design a specific item for a specific expedition that you can use. At that point it is only theorizing.
fleet marten
the stuff 'we found' is it the stuff we're using to sell/upgrade like tarkov... or is it traded for points/points gained at the end to do that stuff
okay theory
only
rapid saddle
You 'scavenge'' resource in each expedition, when an expedition ends, I assume you use them to unlock new gears/weapon.

yeah prolly traded for points/credits which are then used

Just for reference, I haven’t heard about the hacking in Tarkov, what happened?
@fleet marten
short arch
Real world money started to be exchanged for ingame items, this meant hackers could hack everything, make money and buy the game again and again whilst still making money.
@hasty mauve
it was mainly aim bots and wall hacks, but in a game where you have to get out with the loot, that is a BIG advantage
hasty mauve
Ugh, that sucks.

yep, thats why I stopped playing this patch.
hasty mauve
So they had some sort of trading system?
short arch
ingame there is yeah, but people were actually using paypal etc for the items
some items are worth millions in game which take a long time to find/trade for and I guess time is money as people are willing to pay for the items

There is no set date for an Early Access release. However, you can participate in an Alpha testing, which is coming up soon. All you need to do, is sign up to be an Ambassador, and you will get access to playing the Alpha. Follow these steps: #become-an-ambassador @stable lichen

Hey so it's a horror styled progression co-op shooter.... are there classes and levels?

There are levels, but the hallways between the rooms are procedurally generated

Hi Sleeps,
There won't be class, the fours character you play are only a voice and personality. You will be able to pick every weapon and tool that you previously unlocked.

For the expedition map Mirrors, it won't be procedurally generated, this include hallways between room. Every expedition is ''handcrafted'' from their procedural generation tool to give it a soul. https://discordapp.com/channels/408196129470152705/557204214833610753/576025462434693140

oh, I heard it was just the hallways, thanks for the heads up
craggy pier
was this game always going to start off in early access?
hexed bronze
Originally no. Ideally they wanted to do a full release, but more time was needed for development on adding future updates more seamless and features that wasn't originally planned like reload animations.
Also they want to test networking, optimization, balancing and other features during the Alpha and Beta with ambassadors first before a wider Early Access release.
Even though Early Access is on the table expect it to be a stable build and to be updated frequently.

So how did this game go from being released in the spring of this year (which is almost over) to being this far behind? That’s very concerning. As of right now they don’t even have the simplest of features available.
kind trail
They probably found out that something was harder than they thought; maybe a couple things too longer, etc. the features they don’t have aren’t that simple tbh, syncing and shit is probably hard.
rapid saddle
Hi groove, I'm sure the devs are well aware of your concerns, and I am too. I wish only good on the game development.
As a word of good faith, here a lengthy post by 10CC behind the recent delay and hopefully you gain more knowledge about what transpire behind scene.

Good question :o, Well what i tested on Gamescom felt yea like Payday, 100x harder, also different in playstyle and it was simple, but there have to be a base structure and with 9 People working on the game, it can get longer than expected. and most people want to see a polished or a well done game, instead with millions of bugs or stuff which is nah

tidal palm
would alpha / beta builds be on steam? ive never had a beta so just wondering. or would it be an external client?
rapid dock
Yes, it will be on Steam, and as far as I know you will get an e-mail with the key code.
tidal palm
ok thank you for confirmation 😃
kind trail
Yeah, their "servers" and "matchmaking" basically runs off of the steam servers, kind of like Payday 2's, because it's all peer to peer stuff. That's also the reason the game won't be on the Epic Games client, as they don't have the same kind of servers that Steam/Valve have that allow the P2P kind of thing to work.
blissful dove
@rapid dock We're marketing GTFO to the best of our ability and budget, using our connections and trying to be clever with what the assets we have. It's very unlikely that we'll rely on traditional online ads/banners (it's crazy that those are already the "traditional" ways to market something, print and TV ads aren't even being considered.) Sometimes we put some money on a Facebook post we make to make it reach more people, but it's mostly to test the tools Facebook offers. For the most part, we will rely on you - the community - and the word of mouth momentum you can drum up!
hazy knot
the best we can do as a community is to spread the word on twitter and facebook aswell to help out to get more ppl to see it 😃
lunar bay
Exactly :D and that's a good and honest way, also feel free to play with me gtfo when the game comes out
brazen trail
How the content will be projected? I am not sure to understand how it works. Does this game will it be a campaign? Does Steam workshop implementation will be one of the priorities of the after release? Is there will be one or multiples difficulties ( for hardcore players)? Sorry for those multiple questions at the same time
Sorry for my english tho, I am French Canadian :/
rapid saddle
Hey there Alex! If you want I can answer some of those question. Just PM me, I'm french canadian too.
But from what we know, It will be more mission based expedition, where you get down the Complex, gather/scavenge some resource and exit via the same or another elevator. Mods support is on the to-do list, but there no define timeline or priority set on where they wish to implement them.

10 Chambers plan on adding new levels to the game on a frequent basis as well due to their method of crafting levels quickly by generating them with the engine they have, and handcrafting them after that.

@ionic mauve on the website is a press kit if you want seen it. That may help

The press kit just gives things like screenshots, pictures, etc. What Husky wants to know is are there any official rules or requirements regarding press. Of course even if 10CC wanted to impose some type of requirement to cover the game (they don't of course, free press is good press) they couldn't based on the nature of the internet.

I'm going to refer you to #gtfo-ama-answers which has the most accurate right now. While the message sylfr said on the forums was approved by the devs and is their initial plan, they are still discussing internally on that plan.

@final solar no pay to win! No lootboxes, no micros, as pug already mentioned. We might do a ”support your local dev” pack if needed, or requested. Otherwise, what you see it what you get, and then some.

you’ll get the alpha and beta free though
so it’s not terrible if you don’t like the game

the price for the game
not like other previous fiasco games like
not gonna name tho

Frivolous question: Will GTFO have steam cards and badges? I like steam cards and badges.
upper ginkgo
Prob
rapid saddle
@cursive carbon hi
Before GTFO gain the possibility to create STEAM cards and Badges, they must meet some criteria from Steam before they are allowed to do it.
The first one is official release. A devs cannot implement cards/badges from an early access game.
Second, there some game sales, quality and content that must be meet.
Here some info on it.: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile
While it does not mean GTFO won't have them, but only that it is not something to expect anytime soon.
cursive carbon
Oh, that's neat, I didn't know about those criteria.
But do the devs want badges and cards?
kind trail
Honestly I can’t see why they wouldn’t?
I mean they could like run competitions to make cards and emotes, so like it’s really easy to make the community engaged with them
stoic yew
dont you have to make purchases in game to unlock the badges and cards?
tranquil fog
only related to free to play games, otherwise you will get a x amount of cards after playing a certain amount of time, , and after that its buying or waiting untill you get lucky for a random card pack,

Hey! I had a question more than a week ago, I haven't got an answer yet, so I'm gonna ask again.
"How long do we have left until people can no longer sign up to be an Ambassador? When Alpha 1 starts?"
Then I relized maybe the information is not public yet, so if that's the case I'd like if you could clarify that for me.
kind trail
The information isn’t public iirc
They haven’t publicly set a date because they don’t want people’s hopes dashed probably
lilac fulcrum
I don't believe they've come to a determination on that yet Pug, but I'd imagine plenty of time still. They'll likely give enough warning before disabling it.
rapid saddle
My personal guess it.. Ambassador will not got away, but probably change name to better fit the role as a newsletter for upcoming content and update.
rapid dock
I thought currents ambassadors will be the "favourite child" of the community, favored with more stuff, more in-debt look into developement and such
lilac fulcrum
Some things to keep in mind regarding ambassador and marketing (note, this is my own viewpoint):
By signing up for ambassador you get access to the alpha and beta, newsletter about progress, and builds hype around the game, and a sense of pride amongst the user, an intent to get the game / high interest. There's major incentive for the user and 10CC to allow more users to sign up for ambassador. They can email saying "Hey, we're in beta. Hey we're in Early Access" and reach a large number of users who have expressed interest, driving sales up, allowing them to keep developing the game.
If they cut off ambassador signups too soon (for example the day before the first alpha) then it might create a small increase in pride / exclusivity amongst those already ambassadors, but it prevents newer people from being able to say "hey, tell me when there's important information". Not everyone interested will add it to their watchlist on Steam, some may prefer good 'ole email. Now they have less people they can reach out to for driving sales.
There's some other things they can do to address some of those concerns like only considering those who signed up before xyz date as eligible for alpha/beta access, or only providing ambassador exclusives to those before a certain date. Create a second mailing list for a GTFO newsletter that is similar to the ambassador program newsletter but keeps the two groups of users separated.
Again personally, a potentially decent time to stop the ambassador program to "freeze" the current members (thus creating a bit more exclusive feeling amongst those who are ambassadors) might be right before Early Access. Allows them to email a large number of users, keep building hype, etc.
@rapid dock
rapid dock
Neat
ionic mauve
Are they allowing all ambassadors to test?
kind trail
Yep!
ionic mauve
That’s a bad idea
kind trail
As long as you're signed up, you can test
They've already started in-house testing though, so it won't be unplayable
ionic mauve
Do you think it’s a great idea to allow all ambassadors test in Alpha stage
kind trail
Well, four of the dev's college friends at the least.
Yes?
I can't see a reason why not.
ionic mauve
Personally I’d only allow a few hundred individuals test in Alpha and increase the numbers as you got down the line
Have ambassadors for closed beta perhaps
lilac fulcrum
How would you select those few hundred from the thousands of total ambassadors while remaining fair?
kind trail
How's that fair anyway, anyone can be active.
ionic mauve
The most active and engaging
Individuals should be testers along with staff members such as moderators after that you do it randomly makes more sense and is fair
lilac fulcrum
What about a signup form and first x teams to have a premade group of 4 get invited? So based on time as you'd have to make your own groups of 4 regardless.
ionic mauve
If you have too many testers all it takes is a few of them to be picky on bugs despite it being under test and decide to slag off the game which could cause marketing issues
lilac fulcrum
Us mods/admins aren't special, we shouldn't be treated differently than all of you
ionic mauve
Personally I think it makes more sense to use the most active and enraging members and perhaps a few seasoned testers for constructive professional feed back how you do the random people for the fill up could be any method really
No but you mods and admins have volunteered your time to help with the server
And therefore I think a thank you is in order and this seems perfect for it
kind trail
Some already have played the game anyway.
ionic mauve
Doesn’t matter I still think they shouldn’t be this public with their testing as it is a very sensitive stage
And could cause a lot of hype and success, of damage and discontent
I’m sure they know what they are doing regardless
rapid saddle
Kind in mind the closed alpha are only a single expedition, with a single set of weapon and tools. It's not the game for the users, but an appetizer. We, the community, won't play much of the game. See it as a very early demo to test the network system.
ionic mauve
I understand that but again a demo can cause a lot of harm even if it’s delivered spectacularly as it is subjective
The more people involved the higher the risk
rapid saddle
Nobody is paying to play, this is not a crappy EA release like Radical Height.
The game was also previously playable by a bunch of people, tagged as Guide.
ionic mauve
I am not suggesting paying to play?
hexed bronze
I can't say what the full plans are for the developer's decision to give a wide release for the test phases, but I assume they want as much feedback as possible to polish the game as much as they can.
Their main goal for Early Access is to have the game at an optimal state which is why they have numerous testing phases planned to iron as much issues out. They stated that they want to do EA right and by that it means they want a well developed build for release to the general public with as few issues as possible.
Given that they provided a roadmap and a list of goals they want to achieve already for the first and second Alpha, it's safe to assume they did their homework. While a large demographic for alpha testing might turn some people away there's always the benefit of a larger pool of data to collect to improve the game so I see it as a situation with positives and negatives.
Hope that helps.

the minigun takes skill, but mostly patience to use

rapid saddle
Hello @craggy gust
Sorry for the late reply but I had to fully answer your question about what we know thus far about anticheat system.
Primary, this game will require a online connection to access their data base at 10CC server and grant approval about reward / spawn / inventory. They also looking at any tools STEAM can give them that won't hurt performance.
https://discordapp.com/channels/408196129470152705/557204214833610753/557345742662926348
Second, Of course an online-only game can be scary, but since the game isn't made for single player, always online does not really hurt the player. And they will do anything to keep the server up.

To quote Simon Viklund from the GTFO Steam forums from 2018 August:
"There is currently no VR version planned for GTFO. If success of the PC version of GTFO allows us the opportunity to do another version of the game, we would most likely go for a console release.
We have experience doing console releases and we are console gamers ourselves. Contrarily, we have never developed or released a VR title and we are not frequent VR users in our spare time."

how similar will this game be to The Killing Floor 2?
lusty canyon
Not much
hexed bronze
GTFO isn't a wave based horde shooter unlike KF2.
It has heavy emphasis on teamwork-based objectives which rely a lot on coordination and communication, and putting yourself in combat is something you want to minimize as much as possible because ammo and resources are limited.
GTFO is not the type of game where you can go guns blazing and team interaction is going to be mandatory to complete missions. It will be pretty hardcore in relation to other coop games on the market.
stiff hazel
GTFO and KF2 are pretty much in to different genres
GTFO for one thing will have stealth
mild ravine
I think if they added that gamemode for us who wanna grind can grind for that Tastey loot
hexed bronze
That goes against the design of the game entirely.
Ironically fighting isn't encouraged in this game because it puts you at a disadvantage for the rest of the expedition, since it drains your resources.
Though I wouldn't be against new game modes as long as it designed properly and offered a new experience.
coarse spire
I'd honestly be against it at least for the first year or so
I'd rather they refine the gameplay they want and perhaps foster a competitive/hardcore scene rather than create a gamemode that goes directly against the game itself
hexed bronze
Agreed. The expeditions will be the meat and potatoes of the game and expanding on it only gets better.
stiff hazel
Yeah
Hope the game is kinda like payday 2, in the since that after each mission, there is a giant skill tree and a ton of different weapons and gear to chose from. I know payday 2 took a few years to get to the point of content where it is at, I just hope eventually the game hits a point like that where after each mission there is a ton off content to choose from to upgrade your character.

I5-9800k (4.3 Ghz) and a GTX 1070 with 16gb of Ram.
Will it be good enough to play the game on 60fps?
rapid dock
Are you flexing with your computer specs or is this an actual question?
rapid dock
From the ##faq
"3) What is the minimum/recommended PC specs for GTFO?
We are confident that GTFO will be well optimized and not demand too much of your computer. In any case, GTFO is not meant to be a ultra high requirement, "benchmark test" sort of product. The development team uses computers from around 2014-2015 to play the unoptimized development version of the game and even capture trailer video footage (Intel i7 4790, GeForce GTX 970, 16 Gb RAM.)"
You are good to go.

Will there be specializations of sorts(or building towards something of that nature) ? If so, anything towards "Medic"? As the ability to play as one would be extremely crucial for my choice at least.

Your role is defined by the tool you bring, so if you bring the spray that can heal/display weak points on enemies you'd be the role of support
There aren't going to be any skill trees like PD2
mild ravine
Oi Would there adventually be titles?
hexed bronze
As far as I know, probably not. That's something they would consider post launch.
blissful dove
If we defined classes, it would force us to think in terms of those roles when we add new weapons and tools - it could maybe even give us the feeling that we need to tweak the functionality of a tool to better fit an existing class. Now, without classes, we can just come up with cool stuff and not have to think of it in a boxed-in "class/category/existing limitations" sort of way - and players can mix and match as they like, essentially creating their own classes - a freedom we love for players to have!
mild ravine
I think it would be pretty cool like titles for completeing Extra hard missions/challenges
Like Medic maniac U need to heal 100+ people From the downed state

: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 just meant more like payday 2 skills, where there were trees, but you could branch out into any of the trees if you liked, you weren't confined to one

In this game you aren't confined to a tool, there are no "perks" or anything

@upper ginkgo they said you switch between loud and stealth in faster and slower pace, so i guess not that this feature or anything so much Payday2 realted will be in the game, like skills, Perk effects like more dmg for x seconds cuz of a kill or Assault in [....]
to pop the balloon right here now we should stop thinking that gtfo are gonna be similar like payday2. this is not the case that those 2 games are might be that much similar to each other, here i can tell that from my own expierience by playing the game c:

It's GTFO related, as far as I can tell. Maybe a little loosely. But still, there are environmental hazards in GTFO, are there not? Kind of like a coal mine?

could perhaps put environmental hazards in the game?
Like the occasional concentration of toxic gases

I believe toxic gas has been confirmed previously.

oh yeah nice

We want to keep those channel specific for question / suggestion. And move all further discussion to general or gtfo-chat.
This way it make it much easier to see actual question for those with answer, mostly devs. Then move on to the other channel.

I don't know if it has already been asked, but will people who bought the game during the early access (or maybe even the alpha/beta) have something more than people who will buy the game after?
it can be very subtle (like a badge or a skin, idk) I don't say it would be good or not be good, just wondering if it's planned and how people here feel about that
mild ravine
@craggy pier Yea At this point they have said that badges and skins won't be implemented and theya r ejust wanting the game to wrk since the dev teams only 10 ppl
craggy pier
but that doesn't prevent them to gather data about who participated in what
for example kerbal space program DLC are free for everyone who bought the game before april 2013 (and one dlc was released not sooner than today)
mild ravine
I feel thats unnecery Or whatever that words spelt im dumb deal with it
As they will be spending all their effort making the game a game that works
It would be cool to get something that shows u have been there since the begginning but The devs are working hard to get this game going and don't think they will be able to without putting alot of effort
For instance legacy skins from dbd but yea

Hey Simon / Ludvig. I wanted to ask regarding your in-house test of GTFO. Knowing they failed the expedition. What was the average skill of them? Was they used to FPS game, PC game, stealth game?
rapid dock
^^^^^ i was also wondering
hasty mauve
different skill-levels:)
one of the teams where players who has played a lot of games together,
one team didn't really know eachother before the session
rapid dock
No
rapid dock
- Will you be able to play GTFO alone?
It might be technically possible to play GTFO alone - however, at this point we can't promise that it will present a fair challenge. GTFO is designed from the ground up to be played with at least one other human player - and if we were to also make it balanced/fun to play solo, it would almost be like making an entire second game. We are a small team, and we focus our efforts on making GTFO the most awesome co-op experience there is.
- Will there be bots to fill out teams of less than 4 players?
No. What you will expect of teammates when playing GTFO, no bot can do. Creating sufficiently qualified bots would require a lot of work - it probably wouldn't turn out that great anyway and in the end it would only serve the ability to play the game in a way that it isn't even intended to played (alone).
From the #faq channel. No AI teammates.
rapid dock
Don't worry. This Discord is for making friends! You gonna find several teammates during the testing. Once the first Alpha test launches, the #lfg-north-america is gonna be full of people.

how much did it cost ?

everything

?
glacial charm
- What will GTFO cost?
GTFO will be priced below the premium price point (meaning, GTFO will cost less than $59.99.) We can't say the exact price yet, but you will get a lot of bang for your buck. The game will be cheaper still during the Early Access phase.
hallow pine
@carmine delta if you mean the alpha test, there is no cost. It’s free to play the alpha and beta testing. All you need to do is register as an ambassador at #become-an-ambassador if you haven’t already 🙂
dire holly
so i do have a question, hence why i'm here, is this an infection or an alien race?
or a mixture of both?
it comes off as it being an infectious alien race, that humans are trying to survive and overcome
dire holly
basically i wanna know what it is that we'd be fighting, because they seem like it's kinda infected humans but also something alien at the same time?
and has there been any settled name on this infection/alien disease?
the trailer mentions a couple nicknames
but no actual name i think

Hey I've always wondered how well multithreaded are Unity engine games?

They have a fair share of it, they have a system they call jobs that handles multithreading etc
Then we have added some more 😉

Are you guys going for photorealistic textures?
Like that new technology
@hasty mauve

This means that Unity engine games can benefit from more threads? That's great news!
lunar kayak
@hasty mauve Nice to hear that
Well especially for much older processors like mine humble i7-2600 haha
gaunt plaza
More of curiosity (is it enough time based on recent stuff) that 6-5ish months of early acess to keep in line with release date or would you say your happy with where it’s at now
hexed bronze
I don't think they have any solid dates set in place. Right now they don't know how many test phases there are as it could be more or less depending how well they go. Early Access is still a mystery in terms of release date and how long it will last.
lunar kayak
The developers have probably decided to expand the game concept far beyond its original scope?
Seeing the massive potential and positive feedback I suppose
amber flint
Real quick quesiton, is GTFO going to look as good as the reveal trailer looked? Or will it be downgraded like 99.99% of all other games cough watch dogs cough
rapid saddle
Gtfo don't rely on top end graphic that push the boundary of PC spec and get downgraded for console or more optimized for low end PC. Everything they have done is captured on a 3+ years old computer using gtx 970 graphic cards to build, play and record an unoptimized version of the game.
Our version will likely run better with possibly better visual.
hexed bronze
@lunar kayak I wouldn't say far beyond their scope, but adding additional things like reload animations that weren't initially planned, and re-working their updater to better support free content updates in the future. They're in this game for the long run.
rapid dock
If the player uses a Tool that does not require ammunition (such as the enemy scanner) where does the +20% Class Ammo go? (From refilling with an ammo bag) I assume the Class Ammo is for tools, right?
lunar bay
uhm there is primary weapons and yea special weapons, maybe it is the ammo type for the special weapons (like heavy rifles/guns)
ornate condor
So the Potatoes that fly out when you kill monsters.. are they gona be changed to some gore? because they look like placeholders and don't really "fit" the theme of the game (my opinion).
As a matter of fact, Simon said that the eggs or Potatoes look "gross"
they don't really look gross, any changes incoming on that one?
can I have a ping if someone answers my question? Thanks.
rapid dock
Well, they plan to expand the gore and guts splattering around after you blown up a monster. So I assume, yes. All tho they might keep some of the eggs.
ornate condor
Thats fine but they are just... too many
craggy pier
I have a question, am I correct that there is no current way to play the game, either through an early access or anything of the such? And if not, is there a way of pre-ordering the game or anything of the sort?

craggy pier
ah, and no way to play the game either?

it also won't be over $60

probably 30-40 dollar range, but all we know is that it's not premium pricing
aah, understandable

I'm not much for scary or shooter games but this ones got me interested!

yeah, same. The added fact of the Devs making some of my favorite games made me more interested.

The PC spec will be pretty light, Devs are building the game using 2015 ish computer. (GTX 970)
Also if you don't mind we can bring it more towards #gtfo-chat soo Ludvig can see it and respond properly.

do we know whether the game will have an in game voice chat to communicate between team members? and okee

Will the alpha test for ambassadors be free or will we be buying the game on the spot to access the alpha?

Both Alpha and Beta tests are going to be free for all Ambassadors. Once the game launches Early Access, you have to buy it on Steam. Note that the Early Access version will cost less than the 1.0 version.

@hasty mauve In GTFO is there 4 times the map size and 16 times the detail?

Please keep the trolling out in the serious GTFO related channel.
lost panther
I was watching the trailer for GTFO and then comparing it to their E3 gameplay. One thing I noticed (and I see this with alot of games) is that during the trailer, the hordes that you get attacked by were much larger than in the E3 gameplay. Now granted, this could be different difficulty settings, different part of mission, etc.. But it is something I worry about just because I've seen it with so many others. Thoughts?
rapid saddle
Hi @lost panther
What you saw could be part of the current expedition design. Depending on the expedition/difficulty, monster number is one of the setting that gauge difficulty. You can find more info here from the Discord AMA: https://discordapp.com/channels/408196129470152705/557204214833610753/566285025386037249
Also, the gameplay from both E3 and trailer on steam are rather old. 10CC even told us that the playable expedition some of the guide had the chance to play no longer exist and the game changed/improved in some ways.
lunar kayak
Another curious question: Will the number of enemies "spawned" in a level / game be finite, endless, or varies according to player actions (e.g. raising the "alarm" will spawn more as horde event beyond what is already pre-spawned in that level)
rapid saddle
@lunar kayak
I'm on mobile sorry I can't give you the direct link of what Simon said. Instead here a full copy/paste of is answer:
You can't empty an entire expedition by triggering an alarm and drawing all the monsters out, because alarms only draw monsters from a limited area. There will be also roaming monsters that respawn - so you won't be able to clear an area and backtrack through that area safely; you'll always want a teammate with out and you always have a reason to be on your toes.
mild ravine
What will the crafting/resource system be like all I know/heard is that its grindable
rapid saddle
What we know is that you get down into the complex to scavenge ressource. You get back and use those ressources to unlock new weapons and gears or upgrade existing one.
You won't be able however to repeat the same mission over and over because this one is rich in ressources. You will need to tips your toe into more, potentially more dangerous expedition to reach for that next upgrade, etc.
mild ravine
OO that sounds interesting
Shame it sounds like i won't be able to do something to grind resources over and over
craggy pier
kinda sounds like KSP career mode where your first gather some science points on kerbin to get more parts, but redoing an experiement don't gives you more points, so you have to slowly explore further and further
sound interesting, but the balancing seems hard
rapid saddle
10CC didn't tell us much about it. But soo far this is what we got as information.
Maybe they got some idea to give incentive to replay all expedition too.
lunar kayak
@rapid saddle ah yes thanks for the explanation
