Yeah, that was my guess
#gtfo-related-questions
lilac fulcrum
@kind trail is correct. Us mods are under NDA due to helping the devs with running the server, we need to be aware of any important info coming up so we can help moderate it. Also what toobad said.
hollow oasis
So currently it's just only Devs and Mods right?
lilac fulcrum
I can't speak for the devs, but that's likely correct ^^
Trying to enforce an NDA at that scale is just not feasible or fun for anyone
rapid saddle
But it will get breach

SimonViklund, 28/06/2019 in #gtfo-ama-answers
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.
This is saying there basically won't be.
lilac fulcrum
yeah, that
hollow oasis
It's seems like a normal thing for most or all games that are under NDAs.
rapid saddle
If you want to know more about game release or even partake in the alpha/beta test phase, make sure you sign up as an ambassador Expectre. You only need to follow the step at #become-an-ambassador .
lilac fulcrum
Think about it this way. You can make everyone sign an NDA, but someone is going to breach it which means the info will get out there, then you need to spend time, money, resources to both prevent the spread of the info or make sure the info is said in a way you want, then you need to enforce the NDA with lawyers, etc. That's a waste of everything when instead you could just make the game good enough to the point you don't need to hide behind an NDA, and save NDA's only for small groups that you can trust and actually enforce it on (mods, close friends), not thousands of strangers.
kind trail
Also, some other games pay dedicated testers for their games, so signing a NDA is kind of commonplace.
rapid saddle
But they are a small pool of people, easily reachable.
hollow oasis
@rapid saddle @lilac fulcrum @kind trail Sorry for the late response. What I was about to say is that, It's kinda of like that with PTE/CTE servers since there is some sort of variation to it (if that's the right words for it) when your trying to experiment with a couple suggestions that could offer somiething new to the game that could make it pretty good or if there is something wrong with the experimental patch then it gets released it could potentially crash the game depending on the ramifications of it if I'm understanding this correctly.

Sorry to ask this question ^^`. When the early access will be available ?
rapid dock
There is no confirmed release date yet, the Early Access version will release on Steam. Until then, there are going to be Alpha and Beta versions released, so that the developers can gather feedback.
supple latch
okai perfect ! thanks you . soo impatient to play the alpha or beta !
rapid dock
If you are interested in playing the Alpha and Beta versions, you must join the developer's "Ambassador Program". Become an Ambassador, by signing up on their website, at https://www.10chambers.com, and clicking on the "Become an Ambassador" button, all you need is an e-mail address to sign ul with.
supple latch
hoooo do you have any obligation when you are ambassador?
supple latch
okai perfect !
rapid dock
Ambassadors get Free access to the Alpha and Beta versions of GTFO.
Keep in mind, there is no Alpha or Beta released at the moment, the game is still in developement.
There is a public roadmap where you can learn more, at https://www.gtfothegame.com/roadmap/
The first Alpha version is close to release.
supple latch
okai I register now that cool !
rapid dock
Excellent!
rapid dock
No problems! Do you use Discord often? If so, if you have become an Ambassador, you can get the "Ambassador" role on the Discord as well. You will get an orange name, and access to 2 additional text channels.
supple latch
yes i am always on dicord. I have a twitch channel so its a akind of an obligation to be frequently on discord XD
rapid dock
To do this, all you need to do, is DM the @eager jacinth with only your e-mail address you used to register with, and you will be granted the role.
Just message the bot with your e-mail address, and you will get the role.
rapid dock
Nice job! Okay, now we got everything out of the way. No worries! Just doing my job. đ¤

Can i stream the alpha when i comes out? Wanna make sure, better to ask for permission.

Yes you can! As i answered in #amba-general:
You are allowed to stream the alpha and beta. So people know it is a alpha or beta, there will likely be a icon in the bottom right or other corner showing it is in a early access state.

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 follow the roadmap (https://gtfothegame.com/roadmap) which will give a rough estimate when the testing phase will begin and will show you what they are working on. 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 you will receive a newsletter when more information is available.
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.
kind trail
The rough estimate I've come to is mid September, but this kinda means nothing considering it's just a guess.
amber veldt
will the ama ever be opened again?
lilac fulcrum
That is unknown at this time, most likely. In the mean time use this channel for questions.

dense prawn
do the characters interact with each other like in payday the heist?

Yes they do!
In fact, most of the story in GTFO, the mystery and background of the game, involve the banter between the 4 main character.
They got writer to give each character a background, personality and accent.
@dense prawn
sleek meadow
this game is going to be amazing if they can pull off everything that they want to include
question about the menus of the game though
are they going to be immersive menus rather than more traditional ones?

and i believe i read somewhere that there were plans to have the game start up with you in your harness in the elevator waiting for other players before you drop

there's something about lift music
narrow fulcrum
how unstable is the game at the moment, i mean obviously unstable enough to need the bug fixes, but how is the playtesting going on the devs end
hexed bronze
I doubt they would go into detail about that, but considering the amount of time they're putting into the first test phase we can assume it will be relatively stable when we get our hands on it.
They want a good first impression so thats a good indicator of their commitment.

I haven't seen this question answered anywhere(sorry if I just didn't look hard enough), but ever since I found this game I was curious if GTFO stood for something relevant to the game's lore, or if it's literally just "get the fuck out"
kind trail
No clue
It doesnât Stand for âget the fuck outâ
but nothings been confirmed or any meaning found thatâs relevant to the lore
All we know is GTFO is the name of the game..
lapis obsidian
The lord!!

Hehe
rapid dock
As far as I remember the devs have confirmed it does not stand for "Get the fuck out" but they changed their minds and now it's just "they haven't confirmed if it does or doesn't".
rapid dock
That's how I remember, it's a mixture of Steam forums and Discord messages, but as far as I know Simon said on the Steam forums that it doesn't mean Get The Fuck Out.

will closed alpha 1 only be open for a short amount of time or until closed alpha 2 gets released?

kind trail
yeah the whole "when it's ready" shit is just great
bronze crystal
it's true at least
kind trail
and that's fair, but some of these questions actually kinda need an answer
lilac fulcrum
They will get an answer when the time is appropriate. I would not expect any of the alpha or beta tests to last a long time, it'll likely be a few days like a weekend or 1-2 weeks max, unless they need ongoing data and testing. The ongoing ability to play the game will more than likely come from the Early Access version.
We'll likely get an answer on when the alpha 1 is, how long it'll last, how to report bugs and feedback, etc all at the same time when they are confident on a date to announce.
bronze crystal
ok
mint locust
In short words, itâll be most likely be only for a limited time, as the alpha 1 opening at the closed alpha 2 is .. weird and highly not recommendable
kind trail
I just don't think a set weekend for the ability to be able to play the alpha is a great idea either
I agree that they shouldn't close and open at the same time, but a small period's kind of stupid if say the next alpha comes out 3 weeks after A1 closes.
mint locust
That, is different between every game and every alpha/beta release. As the bugs can be very harsh and can be loads, and some releases have bugs but can be fixed in a day.
No one can say when Alpha 2 will come out after closing alpha 1, only âestimatedâ, but not exact. As the bugs will most likely be fixed and tested before opening the next one. đ

hey @blissful dove in the alpha one will we get a basic idea of how the progression system will be like?
or the resource collection even tho we will not be able to keep any progress made would be nice to understand it even if only a little
or a watered downed version

If I recall correctly there won't be anything like that, at least in the first Alpha
mild ravine
Ok cheers

Yeah, on the Alpha 2 page it says "Test getting rewards from Expeditions (NOTE: Will most likely be wiped)"
On Alpha 1 page it says "All players get a set inventory of weapons and tools to try out (no gear progression)"

I guess this is more for the devs, but for Alpha 1 testing, will we predominantly only be running one scenario the whole time for the map, or will there be more than one scenario for the users to test out? Also, will the monsters locations be randomly generated each load in or will they be generally placed in the same locations each play through?
rapid saddle
There will be a single map, with fixed loadout and no matchmaking, You can only play with people on your steam friends list @hard tiger
The goal of the first alpha test is mostly to test the network functionality and see if the server holding up.
And a first pass at gathering and squashing those pesky bug.

This is a bit of a personal question for the devs; but, I would really like to better understand the overall financial investment behind GTFO's development. Did you have to risk it all or was there "cushion" for failure? (I'll understand if you do not wish to comment).
pale tapir
Well, the financial investment if I remember correctly came from some of the money from Payday 2 ( I think ), and the money from their previous work/current(?)
raw bolt
Well, I was hoping for more of a quantifiable answer.
lilac fulcrum
I'll tell you right now they won't answer that in the way you want. Financially they are self funded. Prior work done, significant others helping cover personal lifestyle, etc.
It means that we can except something really nice as they are banking on the game being a success, and in as hopeful as they are.
raw bolt
So, GTFO is entirely funded by the members of 10 Chambers?
kind trail
yes
lilac fulcrum
Yup
mild ravine
and unless they run low on money they don't plan to have a donations thing or support the devs DLC
raw bolt
Would the development team consider the help of a publisher if things became too financially constraining? (Perhaps THQ Nordic)?
lilac fulcrum
I doubt it. I don't think they want to give up any time of control or get into any requirements from someone else telling them how they want the game made.
mild ravine
^
raw bolt
That's understandable. Thank you.
Though, I still kind of want to make sure the devs don't go hungry if GTFO isn't a success.
mild ravine
I would support gtfo If i could
lilac fulcrum
Similar to why they don't want to take donations, having to either force themselves to make promises they might not be able to keep, or go in a direction they want to change, etc
The devs won't go hungry at all, they are doing perfectly fine financially do nothing to worry about there

I think GTFO stand for something precise, not Get the fuck out but something from another language then English, cuz everyone doing their best to search what it mean in English. But the devs are Sweden, and game take (presumably) place in Mexico in some meteorite crater.

Sup Guys How is everyone ? Maybe i missed it in a video or in the discord but did the Dev's ever say why they use Unity Engine instead of Unreal or Cry Engine ?
Have a good one
kind trail
I recall Simon saying that it gives them the flexibility that they want, I would check out his interview (I'll link it when I find it)
I think it's this one: https://www.gamereactor.eu/video/407293/GTFO+Simon+Viklund+Interview/
Could be wrong though, Slewey may know more.
Yep, it's that one
around 8 minutes in Simon says that it's "super powerful, super flexible" and that they don't get why it's so overlooked as a game engine
probably was cheaper too
hexed bronze
Unity's advantage is you can rapidly prototype games to reduce development time.
That's one reason why they chose it.
And they seem to have a lot of support from Unity themselves.
raw bolt
So, I know GTFO is supposed to have a kind of 1980's retro-science fiction theme for its technological atmosphere; but, how far sci-fi can we expect the technology to get? Would it just stop to the extent of something like a powerloader, or would it go as far as deep space mining (lore-wise)?
hexed bronze
I'd expect the sci-fi to go to an extent where things are plausible. There's things like a Gauss Rifle in the game, but something like laser guns I doubt we'll see.
The setting is most likely near future.
rapid saddle
Glue gun and wall scanner that you can see behind live.

Unreal Engine OUCH
Only if you have a large development team and a massive budget
To make it run optimized
Like Gear's 4 & 5 developer - The Coalition

What are the weird shadow creatures

So are they just the normal monsters but just shadows
kind trail
they have cloaking of some sort by the looks of it
hollow marten
Could it be from the facility
barren forum
to be honest whatever the monsters are function together very well like the immune system of one creature. think of them like an ant colony, which means they have some kind of coevolution so i imagine they all come from the same place (and this also makes me think they aren't artificially created in the complex, just found/studied there) so the shadow ones are just some kind of specialized version of the normal monsters

UE4 does not have optimization issues, Unity is just more straight forward and better for small teams, like Tinted said. It's just more Flexible, the reason why i use it more.

hollow marten
How long will it take to complete the one mission in the alpha
rapid dock
Well, (my personal opinion, not official answer), I think they picked a mission that is not too short, but not too long either but is designed in a way, that we can experience many elements and features of the general gameplay, having us require to hack terminals for example, a different areas for a mix of stealth and loud... stuff like that.
Honestly I doubt you would get an official answer to that question, because we will see once the Alpha is out.
pale tapir
I feel as if it's not that it would be too long or too short or any desired length
I think it depends and is up to the person on how long the expedition can go for
lunar bay
well i guess it depends on your Team and yourself, since personal skill is most needed. if you are gud, it takes less time. i count with 1 round for like 15-50 minutes, as i said, depends on how good you and your team are

I canât give an exact answer. But itâs a fairly robust level @hollow marten , not something you can expect to complete just like that

In the one trailer with the African American guy talking after everyone is dead. The tongue thing from one of the monsters that attacked him (and probably killed him) was that part of a cut scene or can one of them just snipe you from behind with their really long tongues

Probably less of a "boss" enemy, more of a specialised one maybe.

how much logic are these puzzles going to requie

ALL OF IT LOL
hexed bronze
They haven't been really specific on that, but my guess is it's more required on team work and communication than complexity and brain power.
Person 'A' need to communicate to Person 'B' what to type into the console.
There could be more complex puzzles to really challenge people but I'm just assuming here.
dusk saffron
it would be nice to add a more nervous viewbob to really show that the character is loaded and stress
hexed bronze
Hard coded screenshake isn't a fun mechanic to deal with and is more annoying than practical.
Not to mention some people are more affected by motion sickness so you just made it unplayable for those people.
Stress should be brought upon the player through gameplay itself.

The game will receive continuous update for free, but we don't know the frequency and size. Just know that when the game leave EA and fully release in V1.0, it will contain all what the devs want for a fully complete game. The rest are bonus and expansion on the game.
craggy pier
I imagine they will have dlc
kind trail
Well, they've said that they won't unless they really need to, and if then it would be purely cosmetic. @craggy pier
craggy pier
really? I love the game already, but I was already hope that they might continue to support post launch with dlc, but cosmetics it would give them the money to keep going I guess
kind trail
They'll add stuff post launch, just it won't be paid.
pale tapir
I mean itâs nice not having dlc
I just have to wonder exactly why they wonât
I mean they definitely are gonna be selling merchandise
kind trail
Because they don't like microtransacting the hell out of their fan base like Payday 2 did?
I mean, they're going to continue to give the game updates and stuff, it's not like you're losing out by not having to pay money for the same content.
craggy pier
Well I don't mind paying for DLc such as levels and content besides they have to support them somehow
kind trail
Well, they just won't let you pay them for the content 
craggy pier

pale tapir
Buy merchandises

what the hell is with you people and wanting paid content to be paid and not free

@lunar bay When you've got a phat minute, could you enlighten us over if you bought your hat of the developers or made it yourself?
pale tapir
Yeah he said he got it from them
Just type âhatâ into search and look for it at the end
He begged for one, eventually being sent home a hat
lunar bay
It was a gift from them yes, from Gamesgom 2018
hexed bronze
Just to clarify all updates will be free, you won't have to pay for additional levels, weapons, etc to prevent fragmenting the player base.

Well @pale tapir i never begged for the hat, i just got that, the pbly desperate thing to get aswell on the same day, was a big massive GTFO sign, exclusive made for there Booth in the exhibitor area

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 follow the roadmap (https://gtfothegame.com/roadmap) which will give a rough estimate when the testing phase will begin and will show you what they are working on. 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 you will receive a newsletter when more information is available.
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.
sonic shale
thanks didn't know i could do that
lilac fulcrum
Alpha is guaranteed to all Ambassadors, so make sure you are one to ensure you are able to participate
sonic shale
yeah i signed up online to be one ill have to double check to make sure thanks for the help

Yes flashlights disturb thier sleep or alrrts them if they are wandering around

After the game is released will you be able to show us footage of the scrapped gtfo version
lunar bay
Idk xD
Maybe they do a small dev diary which would be totally awwsome vut it is up to thw Devs :)
hollow marten
Will the footage we will get be a full uncut package or a bunch of smaller videos
lilac fulcrum
It'll probably be parts pieced together as it would get boring watching them fully setup a room and sneak up to the enemies for the 10th time. A gameplay trailer video is about drawing attention. I also imagine they'll want to keep some things a surprise for when you get to play it too so you don't go in and be like 'oh i already saw all this on a video, nothing new'
hollow marten
Thanks!
willow shoal
I think it would be fun to watch a group set up choke points with sentry turrets and glue at least a couple of times ahead of a larger engagement. Especially as they get down to the point of alarms blaring everywhere and the pressure starting to boil over.
Would give viewers a good look at some of the strategy they should be expecting with the game. Was definitely fun to be a part of it back at E3 2018 (even though we ultimately failed).
That was a different build of the game back then, though, so I expect some things have changed a bit.
frosty oar
Hi. Would kind people answer Some questions here :
- Gtfo support ingame text chat? Or only Voice chat? Proximity or global?
- When i play alone do i play with bots or solo, and if so, do difficulty and enemy spawn scales with playercount or same?
- Is enemy spawns and objectives fixed or randomly choosen?
willow shoal
-
As far as I know, the devs haven't yet decided how in-game chat will be implemented. It would make sense to have your voice chat affect monster behavior (ie, they can hear you, and behave accordingly), but that will just lead players to use a third party solution. So I guess we will find out later.
-
There are no bots in GTFO. As 10cc is a small team, there is no way to program an AI to do what you need/expect your AI teammates to do. There is no in-game scaling for teams of fewer than 4 players. The game is intended as a 4-player co-op experience.
-
While the map will remain the same as long as you are playing the same expedition, spawns (enemy, supply and objective) will be randomized with each restart.
frosty oar
Thanks steve. Its a shame no bots as im not sure how many will play in my region. Especially ones that communicates.
willow shoal
We'll get a better idea how well the game translates across regions as far as lag goes when we get into the Alpha. Which is coming soon. Stay tuned to the discord for details.
craggy pier
Hey, we will be able to stream the alpha or no?
lilac fulcrum
The answer is most likely, but official word will come closer to the alpha

@frosty oar for the alpha weâll have a text chat, and a contextual ping system.

what class is the CQC specialist? aka shotgun guy?

There is no define class, you are what you bring.
If you want to be the guy that look for monster and take down the scout, you get the sniper and the monster detector tool. You will be able to provide a support to your team and tell them where to go, what danger you will be facing in the next room.
Or if you want to deal with horde, you could bring the sentry turret, alongside fast firing gun to really tears down those many monster coming at you.

It wonât be that, @exotic breach đ
split ivy
If my dev senses are right
But my dev senses also tell me merging one day before release is good too so...
mint locust
Most likely not, spartan đ
exotic breach
I didnt think so either with how these devs have been handling things. I just hate staggered/ timed alphas and betas. I get why they do them, I just hate them lol
lilac fulcrum
It'll most likely be limited, such as a weekend (worst case) or 1-2 weeks, but I wouldn't get your hopes up for it lasting a long time (e.g. until the next alpha/beta).
It definitely won't be for a limited set of hours only on certain days - that's just dumb, and not fun, and the devs are not about that type of style.
exotic breach
@lilac fulcrum yeah for sure. I'm guessing it will be a weekend. Or it will have a limited run, and then go into hibernation until the next technical stage.
frosty oar
Is gtfo really going down the same road of NWI of insurgency sandstorm, who used their Fanbase on PC as a beta testers and focusing soley on console release???
FYI, sandstorms getting very few to none contents updates and roadmaps keeps getting delayed as devs are focusing for console release and not giving PC the needed love.
I saw on #gtfo-technical-support that the next step after PC launch is console release. Which makes me seriously questionable and worried. As 10C is even a smaller team than NWI, by focusing on console after games launch, does that means we are gonna be in dark and no contents until console release??
Serious question. Cuz i feel betrayed and scammed by NWI and i dont want to feel that again.
hexed bronze
They've stated they plan to update the game frequently post launch. They have things in the pipeline to facilitate this and they're in this for the long haul.
All post launch content is free as well.
hexed bronze
They don't plan to do paid DLC or microtransactions.
frosty oar
Then how do i support devs
hexed bronze
and it's not really a live service game since those games rely on sustained revenue from micros
frosty oar
Hmmmmm
hexed bronze
by buying a copy of the game
đ
mint locust
@frosty oar PC is first, console is a maybe, depending on their time and fanbase, as the devs are console gamers themselves đ .
Also Paid DLCâs could be a thing, but cosmetic only, no gameplay changers.
prime olive
any thoughts on how the game will evolve to continue feeling fresh for years to come? events? new maps? is there a story to unfold (like the fortnite or apex seasons)?
mint locust
There will be continous updates, kinda like payday
Cannot tell for sure what kind of updates though. But iâm guessing new content as in weapons etc.
prime olive
cool
exotic breach
I'm totally fine with paid dlc, it allows for creators to continue to support their game and produce further content. Especially if the game doesnt sell as well as they hoped , it allows them to cope for the losses. But that is a ways off.
mint locust
^
prime olive
I'll take DLC over microtransactions any day
rapid saddle
The new content will be free. They don't want to split the playerbase. Why paid when you can get it free?
You can support the devs via purchasing the game. Their might also be a support the devs pack that will only feature cosmetic.
still frost
i mean, DLC might be needed if game doesnt sell well as expected
but as 10C has no investors to please i guess not as desperate as faggots like EA and Activision
dont worry i will buy DLC too if no split playerbase cuz why not just make it reasonable and all good

No gameplay DLC, only cosmetics đ

ăSorry mr moon
chrome reef
So, GTFO reminds me of Evolve. I LOVED playing evolve during the beta, everybody I played with was someone that really wanted to communicate and play the game. When evolve came out I bought a copy day one. I hopped on to find myself in a sea of people without microphones, not staying with the group, listening to music or talking to other people. The dynamic of the game had changed, I was on my own and couldn't always trust my team. How will GTFO combat players who run head first into danger, or refuse to play the game the way it's designed?
split ivy
Death, most likely
prime olive
I actually asked that myself, I'm not sure if anything is planned yet, but hopefully there will be a "blacklist" button or a team mate rating option in the future. The entire gaming industry is trying to solve the "that guy" problem đ
chrome reef
@prime olive I agree, now that I think of it Friday the 13th has a similar problem. I'm hoping GTFO (with it's sense of stealth) makes it clear that you can't half ass your way through and expect to survive.
prime olive
there will, 100%, be someone who plays GTFO just to run in, aggro as much as they can, and drag it back to the party to get everyone killed
willow shoal
Ideally, you bring your own team of 4 so you don't need to worry about the random "That Guy".
That's what #lfg-north-america is for.
It's also what Steam Friend Codes are for.
In the Alpha, there will be no matchmaking. You will need to find your own teammates (or convince your friends from other games to sign up as an Ambassador and get their own Alpha access).
stiff mulch
haven't seen these asked before and I think it might resonate with a lot of others:
I realize EA is going to be through Steam, but is there any chance 1.0 will get released on GOG as well? Just wondering if I backed the EA version if I'd be able to get a DRM-free edition through GOG as well.
IF you plan to offer a DRM-free option are there any plans for Local-co-op? I read the team were fans of "couch co-op" but as a primary pc gamer I can speak fondly from experience of "Lan Night" with my friends stuffed in a room smelling of pizza, soda and filled with frustrated call outs and celebratory yells.
How is game hosting handled? P2P or server? Will there be a dedicated hosting option? I have fiber-optic so in my case I don't mind hosting clan games but others may not be so lucky.
kind trail
Game hosting is P2P
brittle knoll
I think the game uses steam systems so i believe steam is a must 
lilac fulcrum
The game must be through steam due to networking framework it uses. It will be peer to peer, and I believe connection host is determined by who starts the lobby.
prime olive
that's pretty standard. is it in or planned that if host drops out, host is transfered?
rapid saddle
That we don't know. Could asks a devs for it. But from the AMA host transfer is a pretty difficult task soo I doubt you get it for the alpha test.
prime olive
yeah of course. it would be a nice future feature. Imagine getting all the way to the end and the host loses power or something and everyone gets kicked out
rapid saddle
Happened to me before, it suck, but you simply have to start over.
That's a few minute of progress lost but nothing life threatening.
prime olive
of course, also depends on how long each mission is (I doubt there will be checkpoints). Eventually having host migration would be cool (and the ability to have a dropped player re-enter)
rapid saddle
It's no different from loosing a 1h game. You spend soo much time into this one intense match just to lost ELO. But you start another and try to get back up.
Host migration would indeed be really nice. But it is a hard feature to implement and will take a lot of time to put in place for a 9-man team.

Thanks, Steve. I'm real interested in the current story and lore of GTFO and hope there's gonna be a good amount of it :P

Personally, Iâm of the opinion that itâs an infection of some sort, especially considering that the main bits of alien are around the face and groin area, or basically the main orifices. The rest of the body appears to be untouched by it/the infection.
I think that the infection could come from the crater/asteroid (the one that ended the dinosaurs and the complex is based under) but that seems a little too cliche, so I donât think that this will be the actual origins.

true tiger
The devs posted a meme strongly suggesting they are eggs.
mint locust
Didn't they say at one point they were eggs?
lusty canyon
He did say that they were eggs but i'm pretty sure that he uses it in a very easy way, so I don't know if they're actually eggs or not.
true tiger
It was pretty solid. Here is the tweet: https://twitter.com/TenChambers/status/1036688559305093120
also this one: https://twitter.com/TenChambers/status/1186744469544165376
It has been confirmed as the gore of the creatures so I don't think it's correct to call it a placeholder. I am actually glad they went with something non-traditional for gore because it gives them an uncomfortable inhuman vibe and feels unique compared to the oceans of other games with generic gore.
lusty canyon
I really don't think that's solid, I think it's likely that they are eggs - but it could also be something else. You can't just walk up to me and say "These are parasite eggs," the correct way to say it would be "these are most likely parasite eggs," or "there aren't any solid answers yet."
Besides, if they really are just parasite eggs then why wont Simon say that they're parasite eggs. Why does he beat around the bush?
true tiger
Them tweeting saying they are parasite egg is literally confirmation. It's straight from the horses mouth.
lusty canyon
So you think they're parasite eggs, and just parasite eggs?
Literally just parasite eggs, nothing else?
true tiger
Saying they are parasite eggs doesn't mean they are nothing else. But they ARE either spores or parasite eggs.

Those are parasite eggs, but Model could be not final too.

Ok, is there an area where we can find what the equipment is before Alpha? Or do we just have to wait till then?
barren forum
I imagine youâll just have to wait for monday
mint locust
@woven abyss About 4 gigs download, unpacked around 10-12 gigs
queen dove

mint locust
You should be able to do it now!
queen dove
okay thanks!
coarse burrow
where can i find the other keys cause i was only sent one?
grand bone
Hey, any chance my question can be answered or did I send it in the wrong place?
kind trail
We donât know @grand bone, but you did send it in the right place
grand bone
Splendid, just don't wanna seem like an ass so sorry if I did 
mint locust
@grand bone Hello middy! Sorry i didn't see your message (and a thousand others)
You can rebind keys đ
grand bone
Oh thank god
coarse burrow
ahhh ok thank you so much
wind swallow

grand bone
Much appreciated and sorry again if I seemed rude 
modern mountain
Hello, how much GB GTFO will require to be installed\downloaded ?
kind trail
Weâre not sure just yet @modern mountain, but I know Faye (one of the guides) is finding that out now
modern mountain
ok thanks
floral fern
@modern mountain About 4 gigs download, unpacked around 10-12 gigs copy pasted from Faye's comment a little bit above
mint locust
Yep!
modern mountain
np thanks guys
queen dove
will the people have access to this alpha also have access to future test?
or would it be a new batch of testers per test?
wind swallow
Just need a bit more clarification on the Monday run. I know the alpha starts at 7am PDT on Monday, but can I download the alpha at 00:00am the day of so I dont have to download at 7am?
kind trail
@queen dove itâs all ambassadors, not a specific batch
chilly monolith
10-12 gigs i think?
chilly monolith
Thats like 15 min install, not bad at all
queen dove
ah so all ambassadors will have access to all the test
brittle knoll
Well
3 gigabytes takes a while for me 
However i doubt ill be able to play the game anyway
wind swallow
Only asking cause some people have slow internet. Yeah. Itll be 10~15min download the fortunate
sharp bane
What are the specs for the Alpha?
chilly monolith
Yeah i mean if your phone internet is better than house i used to download games using phone data lmao faster if you have extra data
wind swallow
I'm fairly certain it will be a shorter time download tho. Low headcount for testers + steam servers 𤤠
uncapped 5 min download
kind trail
@hasty mauve do we have any official specs for the alpha or is it still hush-hush?
brittle knoll
Phone data too expensive to do that 
coarse burrow
How long will the alpha last for?
brittle knoll
14-24 hours i think
kind trail
One day
chilly monolith
I just mean depending on how much data is on your plan. I have 25gb/month
kind trail
Monday
brittle knoll
I got 1gb
mint locust
Oof stalker.
chilly monolith
if you only have 1 gb
wind swallow
@kind trail the #faq channel has this post, and I assume itll be the same in a sense: 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.)
sharp bane
Thanks KNight
brittle knoll
Aye, to get enouh for 3gbs i need to go up to around 25 dollars or something
kind trail
or, specific examples of stuff I can expect
chilly monolith
Damn, yeah every gb is an arm and a leg/month i just have weird plan so 25gb/month isnt too bad
wind swallow
@coarse burrow 24 hours, so either midnight on Monday, or 7am next morning is cutoff
hasty mauve
We posted some specs in #633424987889598484
kind trail
yay
brittle knoll
Minimum gtx 660
kind trail
also, why 9700k? @hasty mauve
brittle knoll
I will push that minimum down
kind trail
Thatâs weird to see that in a recommended thing, considering how high spec that is
brittle knoll
Maybe they really like that CPU and recommend it
wind swallow
I figure cause its not completely optimized yet, so even high spec stuff we expect to be on the recommended might not be enough to run it at max everything
better to be over than under in this case
rose basalt
I'm guessing they won't be the definitive specs
lunar bay
Maybe those are the specs to either play it on 30 fps or 60 fps (minimum specs)
green tree
@mint locust So even though the keys are listed as Unknown in inventory it should work fine?
mint locust
Yep!
green tree
Sweet thank you!
boreal canyon
can ambassadors get a discount on the game after release?
brittle knoll
Considering everyone can be an ambassador (and you get to try the game early) i doubt there will be any Ambassador discount
boreal canyon
I hope the price will not be very biting. thanks
brittle knoll
I dont think you should expect anything lower than 40 dollars, but its not going to be 60 atleast
rapid saddle
The only discount you get for buying GTFO is going for the early access. The early access will be cheaper than 1.0 release. And 1.0 release will be cheaper than normal premium game (Less than 60$USD)
mint locust
Keep in mind, base game will be less than 60$ as well. But Early Access even cheaper!
primal laurel
I want to be clear, alpha test is no stream or can we stream it?
mint locust
You can stream and record as well!

hearty depot
does anyone know if pre-load is going to be an option for the upcoming alpha??
kind trail
It's not an option
mint locust
No option, sorry!
hasty mauve
^ @hearty depot the download is coming on 3.5gb aprox, so hopefully not too bad
hearty depot
thats not bad. even with my slow downloads, thanks for th answers đ
rapid dock
So, will this key last until Beta 2?
Since the game is gonna be free anyways until EA launches
For Ambassadors of course
wraith dirge
@hasty mauve the game size will be 3.5 g?
rose basalt
No, that's the download
kind trail
That's for the download @wraith dirge. The full game will be 12GB
rose basalt
The install size is 10-12
kind trail
well, "alpha test"
coral comet
wil you be able to preload the alpha?
kind trail
No
ebon stirrup
Will these alpha keys carry over to later tests?
rapid saddle
I don't know the exact detail, but from what I learned, it work like an on/off switch from the devs. soo they could potentionally just turn it on again with the most recent build for alpha network test 2 (as an exemple) without having to redo all this alpha key
cloud flower
So are people authorised to stream or record the game? just double checking here as i dont want to mess things up here
lilac fulcrum
Yes @cloud flower
cloud flower
coolio, thank you for the information, is there anything i should keep in mind to do/not do?
lilac fulcrum
Just don't cover the alpha watermark
cloud flower
understood
rough harness
I know when the alpha starts but when dose it END? I need to balance out work and play.
lilac fulcrum
It lasts 24 hours roughly after starting
rough harness
ok, ty
winter pewter
Will we be able to pre load it the day before?
rose basalt
No.

So it looks like from the gameplay footage, you get to actually interact with terminals in a semi-realistic manner. I absolutely love this idea, any idea to the extent that we can utilize them? For lock/unlocking doors, finding information, etc. Any way to make it more complicated on harder difficulties? Would love to make it more syntax sensitive the higher the difficulty.
Makes you feel like a hacker lol
brittle knoll
I hope we can play pong
tepid thicket
Will there be controller support? if own a PS4/ Xbox controller?
kind trail
there will be controller support
but you need a keyboard to access the terminals
so it's "partial controller support" really
bitter leaf
Uhm why the gifts are region locked
tepid thicket
Interesting
bitter leaf
sad i cant gift those 3 to my fd
kind trail
you can get them to sign up?
tepid thicket
How about in game text chat?
digital urchin
Will there be private grouping or will groups get autofilled?
brittle knoll
Only private
kind trail
groups are all private
they've not got matchmaking up right now
so you have to be friended with the people you play with
digital urchin
AI autofill or no?
kind trail
no ai at all
hoary burrow
I'm sure the team is done with trying to make ally AI after payday
digital urchin
cool
digital urchin
np
hoary burrow
especially with the heavy reliance on equipment usage
versed harbor
are the alpha keys region locked?
versed harbor

kind trail
I don't think so
