So why is the game called GTFO?
rapid dock
I think it has something to do with the lore, but it's confirmed that it does not mean Get The Fuck Out.
native dagger
for some reason i think you're right.
craggy pier
wait, I already confirmed that it does mean get the fuck out
it's literaly writen on the website or I don't remember where
lunar bay
No, i asked this question once if GTFO meant get the fuck out, I got told by Simon that it doesn't mean that
And also not stated on the website
craggy pier
wew
it WAS on the website
doesn't prove it's literally 'get the fuck out" but almost, and at least it tells you something
hallow pine
Maybe it has something to do with the facility/complex you area prisoner in, like maybe the abbreviation for the scientific corporation/company that was running tests before.
lunar bay
Where are the words that GTFO mean get the fuck out?
craggy pier
well i would think its 'Get The Fuck Out' because you just wanna complete your mission and if you set off the alarm or wake up all the monsters then you must 'Get The Fuck Out'
lunar bay
Simon told us that GTFO doesn't mean get the fuck out😁
I asked him that allready quite a time ago
lilac fulcrum
Watch, the devs are playing the long con
hallow pine
It’s all an elaborate troll 😂 If only that were the case haha
hexed bronze
https://www.reddit.com/r/GTFO/comments/b7fvse/brief_summary_of_the_interview_with_simon_viklund/ Simon says it does not mean get the fuck out early in this clip.
If anyone wants a source.
lilac fulcrum
That could be interpreted as "the name of the game is GTFO but it means Get The Fuck Out". Guess we wait and see.
lunar bay
And i know he replied me on the server here aswell witht eh same answer, but cannot find the answer
lemme correct myself, he personally wroted to me long time ago that it does not mean Get the fuck out =)
undone onyx
What else could it mean?
lunar bay
who knows, that's up to anyone else =)
hexed bronze
That's where player dialogue and lore in-game will reveal.
craggy pier
maybe its the first letters of each of the four characters names??
hexed bronze
We're not suppose to just know it.
undone onyx
Hypothetically
lunar bay
yes i said that, and was corrected on that from simon
craggy pier
no prob
lunar bay
lemme show you
craggy pier
but at least we know that it ends the sentence "tells you to ____"
undone onyx
Go to fucking objectives lol
craggy pier
"go to the fucking objective" is a very damn good guess, it has that "the thermal drill, go get it" taste
craggy pier
GTFO-Get The Fucking Olives
xD
lilac fulcrum
I stand by my reasoning that the devs are trolls and using careful wording. Name of game is GTFO, but it can mean something else, or not mean anything at all. It could even imply the meaning of get the fuck out but not actually mean it in order to play into it.
craggy pier
@lunar bay well, can you agree that we both were wrong?
lunar bay
yes xD
craggy pier
( ^w^)
TL;DR we don't know what it stands for
looking up all forms of gtfo and origins of gtfo only ever come up with 'Get The Fuck Out' so maybe they bullshitting us
imo they are just so press doesn't shout out loud "look, this game is called get the fuck out, what a shame, bring them to justice"
whether it means something or not i think just the acronym is dope
there's also another option, maybe it doesn't stands for anything, maybe they mixed though, proposed an idea, they came up with that, liked the idea, but maybe no one at 10cc knows what it stands for
ye
craggy pier
it would be a cool idea if the acronym was actually all the playable characters first letters of their names
fresh aspen
that would be cool
craggy pier
im too lazy to go and check but did they say each room is randomly generated?

mild ravine
Will there be quality of weps Or Weps that improve the further u progress thru the game aswell as will there be hitmarkers/dmgindicators
stiff hazel
quality of weps?
steel wadi
@stiff hazel like a if you get a weapon that drops from something and it has common quality or rare quality or something like that
lunar kayak
oh wep = weapons
mild ravine
@stiff hazel Yea
Instead of a Wep u can use throughout the game And never need to improve I think its either my boner for the loot or well It adds More reason to play
hexed bronze
The way you get new weapons and items is by scavenging for materials during expeditions, which is then used on upgrades.
hexed bronze
We don't know specifically how the system works to be honest. I know the weapon system lets you craft guns with different components to change their stats and function if it supports it, but even those details are pretty vague still.
For example you can put in a burst fire function into a gun if it supports it.
I wish I could be more detailed but a lot of information is still a mystery.
Here's a weapons showcase to give you a good idea: https://www.reddit.com/r/GTFO/comments/9u1122/new_weapons_showcase/

Any word on date yet?
lusty canyon
I believe this is pretty much the only solid thing we have, and it doesn't really sound that solid.
willow shoal
Simon just confirmed in #amba-gtfo-chat that there is no chance GTFO fully releases in 2019. Early Access is a possibility, though.
I’m guessing they are running into unforeseen issues in their internal testing.
hollow marten
Is the alpha and beta considered part of early access?
willow shoal
Nope. Alpha 1 is still on track for ‘soon’.
hollow marten
Really! That’s great
willow shoal
Early Access is when we will start paying for the game.
hollow marten
So how long (estimate) will the alpha/beta phase last for
lilac fulcrum
We don't know how long they'll last for.
hollow marten
Okay
willow shoal
The upcoming Alphas and Betas will be just that in their truest forms. We will literally be testing the game to see what works and what doesn’t. This will NOT be a game demo masquerading as Beta Access or anything like that.
hollow marten
I know
willow shoal
If it goes like other alphas I’ve been involved with, it’ll be a lot of back-and-forth between playtesting, reporting bugs/issues, installing an update, rinse and repeat.
obtuse flame
Will you guys be at gamescom again? For some hands-on 🤔
pale tapir
I think I heard they said they wouldn't?
Probably to focus on the game as it's almost done for the first part of Ambassador program
rapid dock
They said no to the E3. However, gamescom is at the end of August.
willow shoal
I suspect at this point, the devs are going to focus on getting the game up and running. Building a playable demo for a game show takes time away from that and is a huge distraction, particularly for a small team. Simon has already stated that the full release of the game will not happen in 2019 (while also stating that a 2019 Early Access release is still possible).
Personally, I would rather see as close to a perfect game as possible upon release and not rush it out the door half (or more) broken as some recent releases have been. Let them take the time that they need to deliver a quality product.
mild ravine
@willow shoal Like EAs piece of shit anthem?

Acording to the 9 minuts play...no subtitles?
rapid dock
Yes, this is something that I noticed as well. I hope the scripted dialog will have subtitles. For example, reaching or interracting with mission objectives. I can understand if they don't want to make subtitles for every single word the characters say, but I hope we get to sre subtitles in general. Especially because half of the characters have accents.
wise geode
emmm, for most of us(Chinese) we quite need it(
The Assassin's Creed 1 don't have subtitles so we hardly play it
lol
rapid dock
Yes, there are people who don't understand English by listening, but they are good with reading it. I hope we get subtitles.
wise geode
Actually I thinking about we can grab some monster informations from subtitles like L4D
like "boomer angry" XD
that will make game easier(we don't need easy?)
rapid dock
Well I'm familiar with L4D but I dont think that would fit GTFO.But let's stay on topic.
We would like to know if the developers are planning subtitles for the in game dialog, and if not what is the reason behind the decision.
pale tapir
I'm sure there will be subtitles, some worked on PD2, and PDTH, which had subtitles, so I don't think it'll be a problem.
wise geode
emm. But subtitles in those two...
It will only show one sentences.
Not the those, i mean, can be piled up?
If someone interupted the previous subtitle disappear intantly
lunar kayak
hey that is a cool idea man
If we could have an app like Discord
that hears other player conversations, performs machine learning translation and transcribes the translated subtitles overlayed on any game
realtime (with delays of course)
won't be perfect, and its more a transliteration rather than translation - but it's better than nothing
wise geode
well... that's too complex
I just describing L4D
However it's not good to compare GTFO and L4D(
short arch
That would be a good idea but very time consuming. If you saw the develop diary where they talk about the voice actors, they have multiple ways of saying the same line that is selected by the games ai to suit the situation. Having these properly subtitled could add some time to the development I.e (whispers) xxx or (shouting) xxx or (worriedly) xxx
But I do like the idea to allow more countries to join in!!
mild ravine
Love the idea tho
lunar kayak
@short arch nice video - looking forward to more from you

hollow marten
In he game will it be one person to a character or will everyone get to play whatever so you could have to people playing the same character
rapid dock
Everyone plays as one of the 4 characters, if one is already used by a player, you have to play as someone else
hollow marten
Thanks pug
rapid dock
The characters are only cosmetic.
There are no benefits in playing a character over another.
hollow marten
And will other players be able to hear your characters dialouge
rapid dock
Yes. This is one way of learning the story of the game. Listening to conversations between the ingame characters.
rapid dock
Well, I'm no expert at the game (yet).
But it's not neccesary. I'm glad that I can help out others. I'm hyped.

how does one become a guide?
lunar bay
Guides are those people which played the games on conventions, like on a more early stage than the Alpha 1
And had a bit more knowledge of the game than anyone else before
rapid dock
Not all guides played the game.
rapid dock
You sure?
lunar bay
Yes
The role was made for people which played the game on conventions, thats what wa ssaid to me in my early guide days
rapid dock
I'm gonna check the message history cuz this does not seem right.
lunar bay
Kay
rapid dock
From D0c:
"The guide role is for those that show an extensive amount of knowledge around the game, and the willingness to help others, such as answering questions in the server, being all around helpful and nice, etc.
That's really the only rank you can get higher, beyond the mod role. Mods we'll put out applications from time to time and you can apply for that if that interests you."
Even I asked ToooooooooBad if he is sure about the "guides=played at E3", he said he was mistaken.
lunar bay
lilac fulcrum
^^
We're waiting until the alpha before adjusting who is a guide, but until then is a great opportunity to be helpful in the community.
lunar bay
Well weird that tbh every guide played at conventions and i know that for a fact
rose basalt
But I didn't
lunar bay
mhm
rose basalt
And I'm not sure if all of us guides did
rapid dock
That's what I said
Ir3os you made me feel like poop I demand cheese borgor for compensation.
lilac fulcrum
Love you 3000 @rapid dock
lunar bay
cheseburger granted
rose basalt
The role was given to people that showed knowledge about the game and were being helpful to the community, not just people that played on E3
silent trout
So you where helpful and played at E3
lunar bay
or gamescom
silent trout
Oh gamescom aswell nice thats alot of help
lunar kayak
well that's how most guides got knowledgeable anyway rite?
playing the actual game and talking to 10cc
lunar bay
yes
silent trout
Either that or have played Payday2 and had contact with the Dev's i guess
lunar bay
no payday2 had 0 relation to gtfo
silent trout
Same way you get the role of admin i see a patern here
lunar bay
exept for Ulf and Simon but they never took players from the pd2 base
as some sort of guides or people to favor
silent trout
But how did Honey get his role then
rose basalt
The ones that played the game are the ones that know the most, being up to speed with every piece of info also counts
silent trout
I dont think he played a demo but im not sure
But hes a "Veteran" of payday2
is a *
rose basalt
Sure, but that has nothing to do with it
silent trout
So previous way of getting the role would be either DM'ing with the devs or playing a demo
or talking to them IRL
rose basalt
I got the role by being DM'd by Simon, I wasn't the one that asked
kind trail
Shouldn’t of been helpful draza, smh my head
silent trout
Im happy he was helpful but i dont know in what way, anyway i hope he will show some players that will struggle in the future with the gameplay and need a Guides help
rose basalt
Mostly answering questions and spreading new info that comes around
silent trout
Okay that makes sense then but thats kinda same role of mod right now
rose basalt
Yeah, but mods have the responsibility of keeping things in order
pale tapir
Yeah
silent trout
I think mods are able to multitask completly fine right now
until the game gets popular there arent that many difficult questions that come along that the devs cant answer
and the devs are usually active in the chat here and there
pale tapir
Well
lunar bay
yea, the weird part here now is, that some mods (meand steve included) actually palyed the game and can also answer some questions
pale tapir
It's true that mods and guides give info
But some of the Guides don't wanna be mods
So they get the role of Guides
lunar bay
to be a mods you have to apply, for guides as said before, helpful
pale tapir
Yes
pale tapir
Not by force though
rose basalt
well not by force
silent trout
Guide you get DMED and asked into it
lunar bay
guides are not like lower mods, jsut people now some more than a usual not (been clarified now)
rose basalt
You get offered the role
pale tapir
Yes
silent trout
And because most people like the cool bling bling its kinda by force
rose basalt
Simon didn't gag me and held me at gunpoint
silent trout
We dont know if that happend or not
pale tapir
Hah
silent trout
You have some proof? lmfao
lunar kayak
This is a set subset problem
lunar bay
well it would be rude from me to say, but guides are deciding 0 . They can like anyone else make suggestions
silent trout
Yet he said guides are above the role of moderator / admin
lunar bay
wut?
rose basalt
who said that
silent trout
i believe that was said in a previous message
pale tapir
Wow

WHO SAID THAT?
silent trout
Lemme scroll up

No way lmao

From D0c:

lunar bay
👏🏼
rose basalt
oh that doesn't mean it's above mod
pale tapir
No
rose basalt
It means that without applying it's the higher you can get
pale tapir
There's nothing saying it's above mods/admin
silent trout
That's really the only rank you can get higher, beyond the mod role.
Its in the message
pale tapir
No
kind trail
that’s not what d0c meant
pale tapir
I'm sure it's not much different from ours
lilac fulcrum
Mods often times fill that dual purpose of moderator and helpful user, but we want guides. We want users who know the game really well or who are extremely active and helpful here .
silent trout
But what do you mean with above?
The knowledge part they stil seem to be on a same level
With the same shared passion for the game / discord
Maybe in knowledge of the game higher up yes
but that does not mean to be a above a mod
lilac fulcrum
We choose guided by recognizing users who fit that guide role, talk about it as a team then reach out and offer the role, the user can accept or decline. To get mod you'd need to apply.
silent trout
Atleast in my way of thinking
pale tapir
Basically:
Mods - People that know the game that is by chance and can moderate this discord
Guides - People with knowledge of game. They have no possible way of editing servers
Guides are below mods, no matter what
rose basalt
yeah the guide's only power is galaxy brain
pale tapir
It's below because they cannot edit this server
lilac fulcrum
Guides have no power, or management functionality, it's a visual title
rose basalt
It's basically a "this person knows stuff" badge
pale tapir
Yes
silent trout
But mods seem to have the same funtionality at the end of the day they have not much say in the end
results here and there
rose basalt
Mods have a more active role because they are responsible for keeping things in order
lunar kayak
What is The Warden then?
kind trail
Mods can get you banned, guides can just tell the mods
pale tapir
Yes
lunar kayak
(how is it different than the GTFO bot)
lilac fulcrum
A mod doesn't even need to know the game. Knowing the game is huge bonus but I haven't played the game at all.
pale tapir
There are not much happening that requires kick/ban
silent trout
Tbh a mod does not equal more powerful to my eyes but that differs from person to person
And how they expierence getting banned on an open server where everyone can join
lilac fulcrum
The Warden is our moderation bot, things like logging notes, warning, etc. GTFO bot is for getting the ambassador role and a secret functionality
silent trout
freely
lunar kayak
alpha keys?
silent trout
its only an IP ban its easily to be avoided if a person has the knowledge to avoid such thing
kind trail
Alpha keys are by email.
pale tapir
Mhm
kind trail
Because not all ambassadors are in this server.
pale tapir
Yes
silent trout
alot stil have a white name due to laziness or unkown to them
kind trail
Well, they’ll probably do that when there’s announcements and stuff
silent trout
We stil have a long road ahead of us i think
rose basalt
The painful wait
silent trout
Yeah even if the alpha releases in the timeslot of the summer release announcement
it wont be much of a play but i cant judge because i havent laid eyes on the rest of the product
pale tapir
:D
lunar bay
well expect alpha for a test, not for pure fun or being good. it is a alpha. For Bugfixes, to see how things running and to get a grip on the game ^^
lunar kayak
Wondering if there will be an automated bug report mechanism built in?
silent trout
I know what an alpha is
pale tapir
Yeah, I'll try to get the bugs and focus on playing the actual game
silent trout
But some people are way too hyped for the alpha to begin with
pale tapir
True
lunar bay
yea
lunar kayak
you know the one where you crash and a dialog box pops up for you to type out
or an algorithm that automatically collects crash report data and sends

There will be a bug reporting system but I can't go into it yet.

i wonder how the GTFO servers will be when it first launches
like when everyone tries to join it all at once
kind of like the smash bros thing
rapid saddle
I think the server will handle just fine. It's not going to handle a few millions of people like a Blizzard games. (D3 launch.. oof)
obsidian condor
im just thinking the worst that can happen and the best that can happen

worst that can happen... Anthem or D3.. best would be.. well the best lol

I dont think its Destiny 3 where TwoBad was talking about
Theres another D3 in Blizzards line up
That launched and did horrible at its start

Yup it was Diablo 3

Hi guys! Could someone tell me the differences (in the big lines) between GTFO and WWZ ? As I play to WWZ a lot and really enjoy it. Thx!
pale tapir
Because
Zombies are humans
GTFO enemies do not look like zombies
You could say it sort of had zombies, but they aren't
rapid dock
Well, for starters GTFO is going to be a hardcore 4 player cooperative shooter.
In GTFO you need to work as a team in order to succeed. In the mean time, the hardcore part kicks in, during loud sections ammunition and resources are very limited, and you go down sooner than you think. While WWZ is usually on open, wide areas like cities in GTFO you will scavange around in a closed environtment, in an underground complex.
rapid saddle
You could also say gtfo is more about teamwork coordination, communication. Don't expect to always go gun blazing as you will get overrun by monster. Mass destruction weapon like grenade or RPG won't be in the game.
There a fluid gameplay of stealth, exploration and combat.
rapid saddle
If i'm not mistaken. Wwz is tps while GTFO is fps.
rapid saddle
I don't know much about wwz. But GTFO will contain some puzzle you must work together has a team to open the next path.
And some zone mix and match environmental condition with monster "mutation" to create it's own unique encounter and challenge.
Like a dark room with emp wave + invisible monster.
Soo you would ideally need a teammate with an emp shield to protect agaisnt the disruptive EMP wave alongside another teammate with the motion tracker.
@zenith frigate hope that answer your question. If you have more feel free to ask. 😉
zenith frigate
Looks exciting... WWZ is coop, but not puzzle oriented at all.. which is for me the weak point, or at least improvable one. Thank you for your anwsers, it's enough for me to get the picture and confirm I need to highly follow GTFO :p
rapid saddle
Welcome! BTW you can also register has an ambassador if you aren't already. This will allow you access to the test phase for free once it is available. Just follow the step at #become-an-ambassador . If you already registered. you can simply DM your ambassador email to @eager jacinth to confirm and get the orange name + title.

great, I will do that, ty!
iron leaf
how extensive will testing be allowed for ambassadors
rapid dock
During the first Alpha testing, (Alpha 1) we will have access to a single expedition in a sub-complex. In the second Alpha testing (Alpha 2) we will be able to play 3 new expeditions in 2 new sub-complexes. This is what we are told so far, the info is from the roadmap.
After that, during the Beta(s) we don't know yet!
iron leaf
hmm sounds fair do we need non-disclosures for articles and reviews, gameplay etc
iron leaf
ahh ok cool i assume there will be
kind trail
(For the alphas)
I know that the Mod team (including admins) as well as the steam mods have signed one
iron leaf
Thanks guys appreciate it
rapid dock
Don't mention it.
iron leaf
or girls which ever
kind trail
what puggo said
iron leaf
for honor and assassins creed hit me with non-disclosure as soon as i joined the pre-alpha test team
kind trail
well, that’s EA, completely expected tbh
I think (and hope) that they’ll do that differently, they seem reasonable.
iron leaf
but it works otherwise guys join pre-alpha and leak shit constantly
will GTFO be available on PC only or eventually move to console as well ?
kind trail
PC for sure
Consoles are not really planned due to it being “hardcore” and they don’t want to make an aim assist
iron leaf
hmm but console will hit a large market ?
basic aim assist can be done but give no aim assist as well, the placebo effect
kind trail
It is a large market, it’s just being a FPS game it’s harder to be accurate enough for the level of immersion they’re probably aiming for.
iron leaf
hmm i guess that will be on a future road map at some point
kind trail
maybe, who knows?
iron leaf
maybe i do, maybe i don't but we wont know for sure
how does one get onto the testing team at 10 Chambers
lunar bay
also this might help: 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!
kind trail
They don’t really have a testing team
They’ve only done play tests with their college friends and relatives
lunar bay
so at this point console has to w8 long long time :3
kind trail
Ambassadors are more of their testing groups for the mainstream stuff
I.e. something they’re prepared to show the public
iron leaf
fair enough on the console part makes sense if the dev team isn't funded at that extent
lunar bay
it's not about the funds, it is about the size
They are 9 People, i could never expect 2 console releases (xbox and ps4) and Pc at one time

so will GTFO be on steam servers or servers hosted by 10 Chambers or hosted on player base ie best connection is host

They might stay on steam server, they are not even considering going to epic game store or anything else, because steam provides so much more
Forums, curators, ecetera
iron leaf
yes i agree @lunar bay
kind trail
The servers aren’t really hosted by 10CC
rapid dock
The game requires Steam to achieve peer to peer connection in game. Just like in PAYDAY 2 for example.
There won't be any servers, but the peer to peer system requires Steam.
kind trail
they have your gear in their server to my knowledge (prevents hacking and stuff) or something of the sort
iron leaf
yes my next question was about penetration testing
will items be unique in loadouts or loot systems eg picking up weapons
rapid dock
You will be able to find materials to craft your own weapons.
At least for modifications.
We will have a better insight on this during Alpha 2.
lunar bay
sorry to interrupt yyou and making mee look bad xD but we have to move this to #gtfo-chat
no bad intended :(
iron leaf
sorry
rapid dock
We are still answering his questions
Whats the issue here
It looks like a conversation, but its full of questions relevant to GTFO
kind trail
bruh
rapid dock
Bruh x2
lunar bay
wasn't even sarcastic/ironic meant, jsut truthfully :o
rapid dock
Silent if you got any more questions feel free to ask
iron leaf
will Alpha 1 allow texture testing , map holes, config manipulation, any sort of penetration testing
lunar bay
Well you could test if there are map holes, or on which extend you can exploit the map
rapid dock
What? I'm not quite getting this.
lunar bay
confiq manipulation idk
rapid saddle
If you find some, feel free to report them too.
iron leaf
ok so with some games you can edit config files to manipulate gameplay and break the game essentially but i assume that wouldn't be a problem with a 60 dollar game but i have to ask, next question about texture testing is finding textures that aren't meshed what will the bug reporting process be like
kind trail
They’ll probably have a discord channel here or something on their website
iron leaf
ok cool thanks guys
rapid saddle
This one and the one right under
This is from the Discord AMA
You won't be short on providing feedback and reporting issue.
iron leaf
perfect exactly what i was looking for
serene delta
iron rock
Is there a way to apply for closed beta?
To test the Game and also report bugs or other possible problems.
iron rock
Oh thanks :)
Thought it's just for Channel and other little stuff
lilac fulcrum
All ambassadors will be able to play the alpha and beta to help test, report bugs, etc. We're approaching the first alpha, but no date for it yet. Just make sure you are an ambassador.
iron rock
Thx for the Information :)
Hope will make it in there.
mild ravine
its literally like not even a minute to become one so i think u can lol @iron rock
iron rock
But not all will get the chance to play or am i wrong? 🤔 @mild ravine
Just know it from other games where you get a special invite
lilac fulcrum
literally every ambassador will be able to play the alpha and beta.
iron rock
Oh that sounds nice, cant wait to test the game 😃
mild ravine
Ur not ambassador yet @iron rock
mild ravine
Theres no need to wait theres nothing to gain from waiting besides forgetting then missing the chance period
It takes less then a minute to become one
willow shoal
If you've already registered as an Ambassador, you simply need to DM @eager jacinth with your email address for the role.
iron rock
Oh yeah... sry didn't read the whole 'become an Amassador' thx 😃
willow shoal
No problem!
tiny citrus
Is there anyway to get access to play GTFO? I don't see the option anywhere on steam
tiny citrus
Damn, the early access tag on steam has got me all confused
kind trail
There is an upcoming alpha access soon though, Chrck out #become-an-ambassador for more info
They will go into Early Access after the testing for a bit, that’s why
They’ve said you might be able to get Early access before the end of the year though
tiny citrus
I really hope so. The game looks so cool, and im so hype for another one of these games. My favorite genre to play with my friends.
Especially my military buddies that actually know how to act tactically xD most games now days say to "be tactical" but they generally have no idea what that means or how to implement it.
kind trail
lol, I get what you mean...
Anyway, stick around, meet some people! #general is randomly active, and we’re generally welcoming ;P
rapid saddle
Welcome Muffin! I guess your military buddies will feel right at home calling the shot what to do and when to acts. 😉
copper flax
Will there be a pre-order option anytime soon? :)
rapid dock
🤠
hexed bronze
No plans for pre-ordering.
rapid dock
Yeah, once they are done with the testing, Alpha and Beta the game will release in Early Access, you can buy that.
hexed bronze
The game will be up for purchased when the Early Access build is fully ready.
copper flax
good enough!
vast yacht
I am unsure if this has been asked, but for purchasing either in early access or full, will there be an option to buy like a 4 pack of the game, so you can invite your friends to play with you?
pale tapir
No purchase in Alpha/Beta
There are no packs
#become-an-ambassador for free Alpha/Beta
rapid dock
I do believe that the developers acknowledged that some people would like to see those 4 player packs, but they aren't that common these days so they won't make it.
And yes, there is an upcoming Alpha testing, you can get guranteed access to if you become an Ambassador.
rapid dock
I am aware.
obsidian condor
Ok
rapid dock
I answered his question about the "4 pack"
and also explained further about what Harold was talking about.
obsidian condor
I was mostly talking to Harold but ok

@quick oxide Just for next time this sort of question would go to #gtfo-related-questions !
To answer your questions we don't know all the details about the Sentry Gun. What I can determine from gameplay footage is that it has a limited firing angle in its frontal arc, so you have to set it up in an advantageous position for maximum effect and to reduce potential for crossfire towards team mates as the Sentry Gun can damage allies. Sentry Gun can be dismantled and set again at will with no cooldown assuming they didn't change the mechanics of it.
The Sentry Gun also emits a colored cone which has 3 colors that visually communicate the status of the gun to its user based off certain conditions when deployed:
Green: Sentry is active, ammunition is available, and scanning the area for targets.
Red: Sentry has identified positive enemy contacts and is engaging targets.
Grey: Sentry has run out of ammunition and is in idle mode. All functions ceased until further action is taken
Sentry Gun's have an ammo pool, whether they can be replenished from ammunition packs is not known, though I assume they will be. I'm not 100% sure on this, though.
As a side note, Sentry Guns will not fire on allies, however the only way team mates will take damage from one is if they run in front of a Sentry Gun already firing on an enemy and get caught in the crossfire.
Regarding tools laying around I believe someone mistaken them for materials you find around the expedition you collect to upgrade and craft new gear to expand your arsenal. Tools and Weapons are chosen before you drop in, however you can find ammunition and health packs scattered around while you play.
I believe there is one difficulty setting, I could be wrong. I believe they want the difficulty of the game to stem from the combination of communication, scarce health or ammo, puzzles, hazards, enemies or all of the above thrown in to challenge players, rather stick to artificially increasing enemy HP to form bullet sponges.
Certain things like enemy spawns, item or material spawns will change up with each play through, among other factors which we don't know yet to provide replayability.
Hope this helps!
tough edge
Will it be cross platform
hollow marten
No probably not
mint locust
It will only be for PC at first release. Consoles are a maybe depending on how much work and if it’s worth it going to consoles. (Xbox, PS) @tough edge
rapid saddle
An answer from Simon unrelated to anything recently asked. But I like his answer and just copy paste it here.
***The game is not ready for Early Access, trust me. There are vital functions missing that you can't even tell from the gameplay footage you've analyzed. For example, in the version of the game from which this gameplay footage is taken, you couldn't even restart the mission or get back to the menu if you died. You had to exit the game by pressing Alt+F4 and then restart the entire game.
We're not keeping this game out of your hands just in spite - it genuinely needs more work before it's ready for Early Access, and we're taking our time to get it right. As mentioned, you sign up on our we site to become a 10 Chambers Ambassador and as such you will be able to play the game in Alpha. Check out the public roadmap https://gtfothegame.com/roadmap/ to follow the development progress towards the Alpha tests. Right now we're all on vacation though, so it won't be updated in at least five weeks.***
rapid dock
This is from the Steam forums
willow shoal
pure girder
So I guess this is more of a dev question, but since the HUD got changed, how/where will your teammates be displayed now?
willow shoal
I think it was decided at some point recently to go with less info on the HUD to make it a bit less distracting, but I believe the devs are in the process of working on a solution to showing your teammates’ health in a less intrusive way.
hasty mauve
I’m going to upload a picture of that tomorrow 😎
Or one way of showing it.
I did the other week as well though
willow shoal
I think the most obvious, and easiest way is to add a health bar (or numeric indicator) to the player label...
But maybe that’s just because it is that way in almost every other multiplayer game I play... lol
rapid dock
When you look at your teammatr with your crosshair, their stats show up above them.
rapid dock
A question that I had in mind for quite a while now, is about the way 10CC will hand out the Steam keys for Ambassadors. How is it going to go down? Just straight forward sending emails with Steam keys to all email addresses that are used to sign up to the Ambassador program sounds like a bad idea, I'm hoping you can send out a link instead that redirects to the 10CC website where we can redeem our codes, not sure why but I personally think that thid way sounds safer. Of course if this was manual, that would be hell, so an automated system is required. Not sure if this was the case and you had this in mind, just wanted to give a heads up.
If there is a different way you guys were thinking of, and you feel comfortable to talk about it, let me know!
craggy pier
maybe we will need to ask the bot, kinda like the way we register to get the ambassador role, but if they asked our email I bet they will send us our key
obsidian condor
Yea it’s by email
Using/having discord wasn’t a requirement from what I saw and read
scenic plinth
Is there a stamina meter of some sort?
rapid dock
Wait, is there sprinting?
I haven't seen any footage of sprinting in GTFO. Except the enemies.
craggy pier
I would feel really bad if I can't run
rapid dock
Wait, no actually there is.
inland carbon
I have a (potentially dumb) question about the "gtfo-content-creators" chat channel, is that a place for streamers and YouTubers to post GTFO videos and such?
lunar bay
yes, but somewhere at the near future
inland carbon
cool, cool. Thank you!
scenic plinth
Has the game taken any notes from Metro Exodus?
Like gas masks and filters, lighters, charging batteries for flashlights, radiation etc
rapid saddle
Some of those mechanist can be bothersome. We know flashlight do not have battery or need to be recharged. There lack of O2 zone where you need to refill or breath at specific spot. But they don't aim for realism.
scenic plinth
So they're going for a "Pick-up-and-play" playstyle?
rapid dock
What do you mean by that?
lunar bay
You cant run through that game like in pday2
kind trail
They’re going for a pick up and play ASAP, yes
That’s the point of the drop-in function I’d assume
lunar bay
With running i meant thw gameplax paste
scenic plinth
@rapid dock I mean its easy to understand mostly everything the game offers at first glance.
rapid dock
Well I believe GTFO will be somewhat complex when it comes to teamworking and tactics
but thats what makes it hardcore, proper communication
hasty mauve
I’d more say you can more or less expect that you’ll die and have to iterate and learn and try again
summer parrot
It's more of a 10CC related question, but what do you guys think about "crunch"? It's unfortunately becoming a standard for game development studios to have crunch time, I was curious about your thoughts on it.
hasty mauve
Generally speaking, we are not fans of it.
Forced overtime etc.
we've all been there, working 30h days at the office etc etc without getting any extra pay
working in a studio we own ourselves is a bit different, we still work a lot. Probably more than we've done before as well, and probably more than we should if you ask families etc 😉
but it feels different when it's our thing
@summer parrot
summer parrot
Just about what I thought. Thanks for the answer ^^
lilac fulcrum
Probably because you can just decide as a group of 9 easier "so you want to just take a break for a week" or "so let's work a lot harder this week, get this pushed out, then go back to normal" easier than getting management approval who will just say " work 30 hours in a single day, idc that there's only 24 hours in a day"
summer parrot
Yeah
hasty mauve
still, deadlines is obviously not our thing it seems 😅
summer parrot
You put more of your heart when it's basically your project, and I guess it's better in small teams
Haha yeah
hasty mauve
hence not having a release date set
BUT, working in a 9 man team vs working in a 100+ man team, SO different
summer parrot
Which one do you prefer?
hasty mauve
this for sure
but regarding the time allocation
it's so hard doing stuff with 9 peeps
we see everything people write here " oh you HAVE TO have this feature! "
For sure, we would like to have probably a lot of the suggestions, but it is realistic for us to spend a week on making X more realistic or Y, when we really need to push Z to actually release the game?:)
it's the small things, everything adds up VERY quickly
summer parrot
Yeah I see
Whereas a big team can allocate part of itself to new content and another to working on what's already established
hasty mauve
that can be very frustrating, but seeing what we've achieved so far, I'm super proud of the tema
Exactly.
@lilac fulcrum My worst week at GRIN was come in monday, work 30h straight, taxi home, sleep 5h, go back to the office, work 30h straight again 😅
summer parrot
Hmm thanks for the insight! Really opens my eyes to the bigger picture.
hasty mauve
yeah man, no worries, ask away if you have any more
summer parrot
Will do :D
lilac fulcrum
what, no cots in the office?
hasty mauve
we actually had
but they where for naps
haha
and I really wanted to go home 😉
Erlite, if you check the http://gtfothegame.com/roadmap/
the reload animations where a community suggestion,
but then we had a guy doing that for like what, probably more than a week, and had to outsource parts of it, since our models didn't support some of the animations.
They worked out good, but took some sweet time for sure
then it can be fairly frustrating when people goes on the "why haven't you implemented THIS as well?! this sucks!" 😅 but it's all part of the process, hehe
we want to make our fans happy, but still actually release a game 😉
summer parrot
Wow
I'm currently working with friends trying to get our first game out. I joined them 2 years in, and I've had to call the shot and force a rewrite of the entire source code :| Kinda felt bad, but I think it's worth it in the long run.
But damn, didn't think a single animation would take so much effort. Kudos to y'all for that.
hasty mauve
yeah my brother and Ulf rewrites stuff all the time, also part of the process, and they are the only programmers, so they have stuff to do for sure
but they get better and better, and stuff that they wrote 3-4 years ago doesn't always hold up for all the new systems we have in place
summer parrot
That's generally a good sign yeah, means the code has matured along with its programmers. Awesome :D
I'm super hyped for the game, good luck!
hasty mauve
cheers man,
cool with a game, what game is it ?
I'm super stoked to be closing in on a playable for you guys.
It's a weird feeling for sure, but I'm confident enough that we are onto something, just needs some more love.
Really cool feeling seeing people play and get the game though, and enjoying it.
summer parrot
They kind of aimed a biiiit too high, but it's basically a survival game with multiple islands, where each island is a hybrid of modern and medieval technology. I've been working on the project for 6 months and I still can't find a way to describe it appropriately haha.
Each island has a different "race", so you have medieval knights, another has samurais etc. It's fun working on it and seeing it grow, although quite confusing at time ^^
hasty mauve
SP, MP ?
summer parrot
Multiplayer
summer parrot
I've actually originally joined as Network Gameplay Programmer, but ever since I've forced a rewrite, the project lead wants me to basically become the lead programmer once we get close to an alpha
Which is quite scary
I'm only a junior game dev
hasty mauve
Don't downplay yourself though, if the team thinks you have the skill, you most likely got it.
coding isn't really something you can talk your way into, you've obviously proven yourself.
Scary is good
Scary makes your grow

met way to many in my days that hasn't grasped opportunities where they can grow and learn, because they feel that is isn't their place.
I say go for it.

is GTFO MAC compatiable?

I'm almost certain it's only being developed for Windows only at the moment.
They're a small 9 man team so they're focusing on that that first.

I would also add that a console release is most likely higher on the list after the initial PC window release.

Do the terrain scanner or Enemy Marker run on cooldown or have a battery that has limited uses before running out?

@hexed bronze yes

To prepare for the Storm Area 51 event.

There's really no official explanation, but if you want a hypothesis it's most likely the creatures are humans infected with parasites and that's how they control their host body.
So what looks weird to us, is probably how they think it works since a human body is foreign to them.
And also to see them aliens. kappa

I have already registered to be an ambassador
Im just wondering what the physical process to play is

Then it's just a wait for the devs to release the test phase when its ready.

Yeah
craggy pier
ok

Does GTFO have a nda? Or can we stream the game during testing?
hexed bronze
We don't know what the plans for streaming yet for the testing phase.
rapid dock
I thought Simon said they will make the first Alpha polished enough for Streaming.
kind trail
Yeah, wasn’t there talk of a watermark saying “alpha footage” or something?
hexed bronze
Maybe way back probably, but recently we've been told there hasn't been any set plans regarding streaming.
rapid dock
June 29th.
hexed bronze
I must of missed that can you link it?
rapid dock
Only if I knew how to do that
But unfortunately you have to use the searchbar, enter Simon Viklund and the keyword "stream"

I think you can click the three buttons at the end and click copy id
oh darn not the searchbar
rapid dock
lintyjuggler90 asks: Simple Question: During the testing phase before Early Access, will there be any NDA/content restrictions? Specifically as pertinent to any content creators
Answer: Rather than forcing users to sign NDAs (which wouldn't really have the resources to enforce anyway), we will make sure that the Alpha is in a nice enough state that it can be streamed. It might contain a watermark indicating that it's Alpha footage (because this footage will end up everywhere and months later viewers of that footage need to know that the game probably doesn't look like that anymore) so it's all very straight-forward.
hexed bronze
I need to verify that with the staff then.
Cause I've been told differently, I feel like they're not 100% sure about it. I'll get back to you on that.

Huh. Alright then!

Another thing before you go
rapid saddle
?t alpha
eager jacinthBOT
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 August. 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.
rapid dock
Takin' our jobs!
rapid dock
It seems the information I was given is out dated. Can I get clarification on "who gets to play Alpha 1"?
mint locust
Everyone who applies for Ambassador.
kind trail
oh we applying now?
rapid dock
So everyone who signed up for the Ambassador program with their email addresses get to play Alpha 1?
lilac fulcrum
Anyone who signs up for the ambassador newsletter is able to play alpha 1.
You can confirm your newsletter subscription by DMing @eager jacinth your email and if it gives you the ambassador role (like you have pug) then you get to play alpha 1
rapid dock
So only Discord Ambassadors get to play it then.
Thats new. Gonna DM the couple people I told the game about, tho not all use Discord.
mint locust
Everyone who signs up on the Newsletter as far as i know.
lilac fulcrum
All ambassadors are guaranteed to be able to play the alpha
mint locust
Discord GTFO Bot is only so you can verify your E-Mail (and get role).
lilac fulcrum
it's possible that non amba's may be able to but no guarantees. if they want to be able to play it, they should be an amba
and no @rapid dock it's not limited to discord amba's
I was just saying if you want to verify that you signed up for the newsletter then DM the bot and if you get the role then you know you're an amba
rapid dock
Wait that's what you said just now.
lilac fulcrum
some people enter their email but don't confirm the newsletter subscription
so if you don't confirm the subscription (2 step process, enter email, confirm email) then you wouldn't be an amba
rapid dock
Yes, they recieve an email from 10Chambers to confirm the subscription.
craggy pier
I'd bet 100€ no EA this year
rapid dock
Okay, so people who went trough the confirmation trough email only, but not present on the GTFO Discord and have the Ambassador role here still get to play it?
craggy pier

mint locust
Yes pug.

You do not need to be in the discord to partake in alpha 1

Alright then! Thank you for the clarification!

Answer in AMA
kind trail
oh yeah I remember when I read that 
ebon lotus
I would have a question too, when the alpha is out, is it allowed to stream on twitch? And if yes, are we allowed to advertise that stream here in this discord as long as we do it only if we play gtfo?
kind trail
The alpha related question you won’t get an answer to, apart from “not until august”
I think you’ll need to check with a moderator first before you can advertise your stream, and you’ll maybe be able to post it in #live-streams
ebon lotus
hmmm so i might ask again in august, when the devs have returned
kind trail
I think you’re very unlikely to get an alpha release date answer, as they’ll make an announcement at least 1 week before they release.
ebon lotus
nah i dont want a release date for alpha, i just want to know if i am allowed to stream the alpha, once released
i've already meet a publisher who said: No streaming during alpha or beta (for whatever reasons) so i wanted to know here
kind trail
Simon has already said “we’ll allow you to stream the alpha”
it’s just if there will be a watermark saying “alpha footage” to make sure that people know the game doesn’t look like that, and is much more polished in the full version

I mean, just search for streaming in #gtfo-ama-answers you’ll get at least 10.
So TLDR, Yes you can stream, Advertisements rely on the mod team and their choices.
rapid saddle
For advertisment, we are still discussing it as a team, looking at what we want here and what the devs want too. Otherwise mirror answered the first part .
kind trail
I assumed you would be :p
rapid saddle
It's mostly what the devs wants. It is their discord, not the admin / mods team.
little whale
Does anyone know when they will update the road map again?
kind trail
Probably a few weeks into August.
They are currently on vacation, so they’ll probably do an update when they’re off of vacation/when they’ve done some stuff for a few weeks.

How long available could one be amba?
Whether some one could be amba after a test or b test?
kind trail
Are you saying If someone becomes an amba during a test will they get to play?
you will keep being an amba even after all the tests.
wise geode
Nope/=/=/
I mean, if someone could be amba even after the a test start
(Holy crap my freaking englsih)
kind trail
Ah, I understand, idk though.
wise geode
(:з」∠)
kind trail
You will probably keep being an amba because I think they will turn it into a mailing list
wise geode
I know. I just try to cheat(?) more friends to play GTFO XD
If they are too late, I'm afraid that they can't be amba
craggy pier
"Do it while there's seats left!" it will probably end I guess
hallow pine
Large, we don't know the answer to that question as far as I'm aware. I'd recommend getting your friends to sign up sooner rather than later though just in case 🙂
short arch
My interpretation of that was you can sign up whenever but you get access to the next test not the current one but I have been known to be wrong haha
rapid dock
I assume once the first Alpha is out, people signing up for Ambassador will only have access to the second Alpha, and the Beta after.
Since people are going to make videos/livestreams with Alpha 1.
short arch
Yes just what I said, I thought that because it could help generate hype. So a few people playing this new game but oh wait, you can’t access it just yet because you didn’t sign up, oh that’s a shame, I’ll watch people then sign up to get in the next test. Because they don’t have it they will want it more
rapid saddle
Test not going to be permanent. You won't be able to endlessly replay alpha test 1 once devs have gathered the data they need and most likely close server access.

Ambassador link didn't work for me. Link in email isn't working.
lilac fulcrum
which link are you talking about?
rapid saddle
Hi @smoky cosmos could you provide us more information at which step you are and have done for the ambassador? D0c here will be able to help you more if it is on a more technical email issue too.
smoky cosmos
when i click "subscribe to link" it highlights but goes no further. essentially nothing happens
this is in my email
@rapid saddle
@lilac fulcrum
lilac fulcrum
@smoky cosmos are you talking about the email/button that says "Yes, subscribe me to this list. "?
lilac fulcrum
can you try right clicking that button and choosing to copy the link and paste that in your browser?
smoky cosmos
sure hold on
Hey it worked! Now does that mean i get access to early gameplay?
thank you
lilac fulcrum
Yup! now that your subscription is confirmed then you'll be able to test the alpha and beta when it comes out.
You can also DM @eager jacinth your email and get a fancy role here
rapid saddle
Sweet!
lilac fulcrum
send a private / direct message
lilac fulcrum
yup! it's orange, give access to a couple ambassador only channels here, and makes you royalty!
smoky cosmos
Thanks guys! @lilac fulcrum @rapid saddle
rapid saddle
All D0c 👌
mild ravine
Well simon are there parts of the map that are EMPed? so electronics don't work there
rapid saddle
Yes @mild ravine EMP wave section are in GTFO. As well as a EMP Shield tools.
mild ravine

When the game comes out for Early Access, will people who have subscriptions receive an email that they can play the game early?
lapis obsidian
Most likely
lilac fulcrum
There will be plenty of notifications including a ping here in the server, an email to the ambassador email, and via Steam notification most likely.

ohh okok

When did GTFO's development start?
rapid dock
:thonk:
Well, the studio was funded back in 2015, the name reveal was in 2017, somewhere in between?
But yeah it would be great if we knew an exact date.
kind trail
iirc there’s a video somewhere that talks about five years
can’t remember which one, but there’s something about five years.
willow shoal
I think Ulf first teased they were working on something in January 2017, and revealed the name in like March 2017, so I’d guess they’ve been working on it since late 2016...
kind trail
I’ll try and find it later
cinder sonnet
Hi people! I wonder what is the leftmost Steam page trailer monologue about, can smb explain (and prob help me understand all words correctly, I fail to understand some of them, english is not my native🙂)?
"It comes every night, without (fail?). There are different people every time. But I recognise them somehow. They're screaming at me, I don't hear them but I know they're screaming. Such... hate and anger. I don't know what I have done to them. They want me to feel what they feel. combat intensifies Then I wake up. I'm not (??????) of screaming, I'm perfectly calm. I just open my eyes and I am awake. And it's not a nightmare. It's just part of me, (???). I don't fight it, I just... live around it."
kind trail
It sounds like you can tell the people who have been infected with the alien virus.
rapid dock
It comes every night without fear. Then I wake up. I'm not sweating or screaming. It's just a part of me, who I am.
kind trail
And, the character is having nightmares from seeing and killing so many people
Some sort of PTSD, it sounds like
cinder sonnet
@rapid dock thanks very much)
@kind trail you mean the virus that makes all these gtfo monsters? If so, why "killing many people", do they not only kill player characters but also go out of sub-complexes and set mayhem outside of places where the game takes place?
kind trail
I'm saying that it sounds like the character (that you play as) sounds like they have some sort of PTSD.
And, what is the obious reason for them having PTSD and seeing faces?
The people in the complex are now the aliens.
rapid saddle
But we don't know for certain who or what are the monster, alien, virus, mutation?!? It will be unveil as we play and discover the game through the character dialogue and voice/text books, etc..
primal void
What about a kickstarter campaign for extra money?
rapid dock
Well, the developers are entirely self funded, and they managed to stay that way for a long time now.
An answer would be nice.
mild ravine
- Will there be DLC or microtransactions in GTFO?
We are committed to not having any microtransactions in GTFO, and the continuous updates to the game will be completely free. However, we do need to put food on the table, so if the planned business model does not work out as planned, we might add some cosmetic "support the devs" type DLC. We promise though, that there will never be any P2W or shady loot box type micro transactions in GTFO.
spring robin
Is there going to be a streamlined way in which we can report bugs in the alpha? Should I just send a quick email over to Santonian?
rapid saddle
There will be someway to report bug and other thing about the alpha. Steam forum and this discord are going to be one of them. There will be more option aswell later for the devs to gather the most feedback and report.
lunar kayak
@cinder sonnet what's your native language?
cinder sonnet
@lunar kayak russian is. Does it matter?
lunar kayak
oh well @finite silo is your best bet on translation then
cinder sonnet
I didn't need translation
I am good at translating things, but not so good at talking and listening
But anyway thanks for advice)
rapid saddle
GTFO is a dark game and part of the atmosphere/challenge, but how it gonna play out for people that's going to turn brightness to the max in an attempt to ''cheat'' the game and see what other can't?
brittle summit
@rapid saddle If they want to ruin the experience of the game for them selves then whatever.
rapid saddle
True.
Btw Mr. K. Welcome to GTFO discord server. Please take a look at #become-an-ambassador if you wish to get more info about GTFO release and even take part in the upcoming alpha test Soon!

craggy pier
slow harness

slow harness

lapis obsidian
Till it comes out.
rapid saddle
You can keep an eye out on the roadmap right under this. It will give you an idea of when the alpha test will launch. Devs are back from vacation next week too.
?t roadmap
eager jacinthBOT
You can view the roadmap here: https://gtfothegame.com/roadmap/

Maybe they took a vacation as celebration for getting the alpha ready and will release it when they get back 🤔
I can dream

Can we customize our weapons like in Payday2?
rapid dock
Quoting Simon Viklund 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."
So, yes. Pretty much, and this system sounds very nice.
drifting isle
Yeah that’s really good
hollow oasis
Is GTFO currently under NDA?
kind trail
probably
The alpha 1 and subsequent alphas and betas aren't
Let me backtrack for a moment
The only people we know under NDA are: Moderators, Admins, and Steam Community Moderators
I would assume that the people involved in the testing are under NDA, but they've not said anything that I've seen.
GTFO will not require an NDA to play during the alpha and beta period.
rapid saddle
I guess the friends and family of devs that tested the game in-office are also on NDA.
