exacly my question.
tawny plinth
So when are Ambassadors gonna get access to the Tests and how do you pick people? Will you do things like Hardware surveys to determine suitable candidats?
dusky zinc
There is only translation in English?

Is testing gonna be made completly public for the ambassadors or is it gonna be limited
void lynx
As an aspiring games developer, what skills and experience would you recommend gaining in order to be successful in the industry?
frosty wharf
Will it be a Closed Beta ? Open Beta ? Only for Ambassadors ? Limited keys ?
trail leaf
Will GTFO have seasonal updates? Example being like the ones of Rainbow Six Siege and the operations.
digital oxide
We know you see our questions, now spill it out 😂
sinful valve
We've seen a lot of controversy regarding exclusivity among PC game platforms. Are you committed to a steam release, or is that something that can still change in the future?
compact void
Will the beta/early access be announced before it happens, or will it pop up randomly?

What are these rewards persay? 
fringe coral
Any reward/special icon or name for tester for the real game? Stat reset once test phase is over?
fickle shadow
In regards to the type of enemies we will see, how many variations are there? I've watched a few videos and only the heard the name "sleepers," so I'm assuming there's more than one special name?
topaz olive
What kind of info about the machine are you going to need during the testing phase, for bug reports? What will we need to include in any given report?

Okay so I realized. The game won't release on this Spring. The full release. Which means the BETA and Early Access could? I just want to know how early can I put my hands on this game. Or play test it?

at this point im VERY curious about what made you choose UNITY specifically over the competitors (i know theres something said from a unity event but didnt touch in the others at all) like did you try the other engines? is it less complex? was it is lesser price tag?

I'm sure the most common question will be about how to participate in the closed beta, now no where that I found states that you have to be an ambassador but if they come out with a support the devs with money for closed access I'm down to do that

As written in todays E-Mail there can be only a start and an approximately time period for testing, since it can take a time to fix/stop finding Problems

question 1: any idea of the price of the game in early access

question 3: why do most monsters look like me at the fridge when i eat shredded cheese straight out of the bag at 4am
autumn breach
Will ambasadors be able to give beta access to their friends to test together? Even though the game itself might not be 100% playable, it would be more engaging to me if I got to test with my friends (assuming they had the right mindset about the alpha/beta)
harsh hollow
Given the rather ambitious project of GTFO, it can be imagined as rather chaotic process. However, how exactly does the development studio look like in terms of development? Are there open voiced opinions where anyone can propose ideas? Much like development companies like Valve, and Naughty Dog. Or are they closed spaced cubical with individuals with tasks and jobs? So that they get finished with one assignment after another?
Or is there a other kind of structure you have amassed?

From a game design standpoint, what has been the largest hurdle? Apart from figuring out networking and what it takes to program in features - aside from the technical aspects - when you had the flow of the game down on paper, including the game loop and what they player would be doing, is there anything in particular that really stumped the team or that you needed to approach carefully? Examples being: weapon/enemy balance, how to make the random maps interesting, what happens at the end of the game, how to make the experience feel rewarding, how to increase replayability, etc.
summer sparrow
Will there be map interactions to help aid the character in their progression or just slow them down towards their goal?
Also will there be interesting death animations if someone is last alive and is caught out with no chance of survival?

when you launch these testing phases will they be short? A friend of mine has less than superb connection and usually takes around a day to download large files. Will we be able to preload the game before testing? (that's the real question)
harsh hollow
If someone inevitably dies, how exactly do things play out for that player that died? Do they get booted from the match and have to wait for their friends (especially during the test) to finish? Or will there he some kind of possible info mode for them? So they can give callouts and such. If there isn't any kind of system like that, won't it be kinda boring having to wait for your friends to just play again?
Much like Battle Royals and a squad mate dying early, how can you remedy this issue? (Apex Legends finished that battle royal problem with respawns. So....)

Will the majority of difficulty modifiers be automated by the game itself based on the way you play and how successful you are?
If so, will they dynamically change throughout the mission according to your success?
Or, will they be selected manually by the Squad at the start of the mission?

So, with your plan to put GTFO into early access for continued ongoing development, sorta like Warframe, how long do you plan to develop GTFO? You'll be taking player feedback and ideas?

cyan iron
I would like to know how optimization is. What types of gaming rigs are you testing on? Am I going to need a super beefy rig to play smoothly? Are you guys having problems with framerate issues and stuttering no matter what rig you are using, similar to the optimization issues that Escape from Tarkov has had and is having. I was also wondering what type of rig you would expect to need minimum to have a stable experience? As well as what is your vision for how the final product will be running?
Another question. Are you guys going to try and please a very large audience, therefore changing the game drastically in terms of people complaints, or are you wanting a more condensed player base of people that understand what type of game this is. For example, will you be changing the balance and mechanics drastically if there are several complaints about it, but that balance or mechanic they are complaining about is more in tune to your vision for the game?

trail leaf
@shadow spade I also second this. This is a really important question to ask. If the Devs are following a roadmap kinda like a milestone so they don’t feel overwhelmed. can you guys finish your work on time? How would the early access look? Do you guys have foundation laid out? Are you using your own engine? Are you ready to receive criticism for an unfinished game? I understand the concept of early access but as a developer myself, Having the cash right then and there for a game not finished is a big temptation. Even if there is a roadmap. Potentially I don’t think it’s the right way to go. Yes the deadline has been extended but all in all people rather have polished games rather than a buggy mess. My 2 cents.
minor robin
@trail leaf They answered some of this in the "newsletter" this morning I can forward it to you if you didn't get it 😃 Also its being made in Unity.
I agree with the early accsess comment though the cash has been taken and dev stopped far to often.
I guess the other question related to that is how is long term support seen? DLC to ensure there is always a way to push forward? As without that long term monetization plan it makes it far easier to see the immediate cash and move on to a new project.
The guys have talked about the core being difficult for them as they are building every system with long term feature expansion in mind so theres something there in terms of long term thought but what it looks like who knows.

TooooooooBad asks: Any idea in place to stop cheater? Using the VAC or any other mean. In PD2 people would be able to spawn a hundred gold bar bag directly into extract zone and would absurdly boost everyone else cash/exp.
Answer: We are thinking a lot about making GTFO hard to cheat. For example we are designing our system so that things like item spawning is properly authorized over the network. We are also making sure that the player inventory and all expedition rewards are handled by our backend. This backend has the consequence that GTFO requires an online connection, but it also gives way more security and flexibility than if the game was offline only. We will look into implementing anything steam can give us that helps against cheating as long as it does not get in the way of the player experience.```Will they design the game with the end of life in mind?
trail leaf
so, regarding the answer to the question about cheat, if the game needs to be always online, 2 very important questions come to my mind:
- not the most important, but do you think that there will be at some point a sort of "arcade mode" with no reward, just to be able to play the game without internet? I think it's important to be able to train and get the skill needed (as the game is not planned to be easy) even when you have an internet shortage, in public transport, everywhere...
- what do you plan to do to not get into the same situation as Hawken and Blacklight Retribution? reminder: old onlines games, servers are down or going down, now we can't play though we have paid the game
maiden plover
i.e. At some point there won't be GTFO servers run by 10 Chambers. So there wont' be a back end do to rewards.
trail leaf
we thought about the same thing inspector 😄
maiden plover
Will they make it modular enough so that at end of life, they can off load that to the player/host side?
Great Minds Xaetral
I am aware that it is hard to have stuff work on both the client and server side.
Unless it's designed that way from the beginning.
trail leaf
yup
maiden plover
So I am just wondering if they have that in mind from the beginning.
trail leaf
Are there any discussions or ideas for more games/etc about GTFO?
Like is it a one off game and that’s it or...?
sly zinc
Friendly fire?
cosmic summit
Will be there host imigration? And as far as I know, it's not a simple task without actual dedicated servers, so will there be dedicated servers of some sort that could manage host imigration? Since the game always needs to be online there must be a system?
zenith ibex
No dedicated servers, just p2p
fringe coral
As a hardcore game, will the game use the realistic reload or stick to the regular gaming reload? (Throwing away a half-empty magazine will make you lose the bullet or they magically get back to your inventory.)
You describe the game has being very hard. Will there be some kind of difficulty slider (normal / hard / Deathwish / One-man down)? What's your success rate in an expedition in-house at 10CC considering you are the only one with a very depth knowledge of the game?

What's GTFO stance on artificial difficulty, as in taking tremendous damage from ennemies and doing low damage to them ?

Probably was asked but during beta test will GTFO be "closed" for streams/YouTube gameplays/etc?

You are 10 Chambers collective because you don't want more than 10 people inside. But you currently have a 9-man devs team. Do you intend on filling the last spot sometime in the future or you are happy with the team you currently have and not looking to add another member? (And change the name to 09CC 😜 )
regal parcel
Would you be open to having potential third party tie-ins or strictly in-universe stuff? For example, an expedition or expansion based off of the Aliens franchise, or something similar?

You've already mentioned how bugs will be dealt with (although h*ck Jira, throw it into the sun, please), but what sort of support structure will you have in place for more technical issues? Will this be more of a community pool of knowledge here on discord, or will you be able to create some sort of knowledge centre on your site/forums/other? Will this be populated by community knowledge, or yourselves?
Aside from this, please do make sure you are drinking plenty of water, eating well and do not crunch 🙌

Hey guys. Reminder again to please read the #game-announcements, #faq, and prior questions asked (use search at top right in Discord) as we are starting to get many repeat questions now of things that have already been answered. Let's also try and keep the questions related to GTFO and the announcement and cut down on the off topic based questions. Lastly, let's keep discussions and responses to questions in #general or #gtfo-chat. For example @sullen panther your question has already been answered - There is no updated date, they won't give one until they are confident about things. @primal grotto I'm removing your question, please ask that in one of the more relevant channels.

DX12 support -
Will it be implemented?
Can I pick the number of cores to launch the game with to prevent overloading while streaming/recording?
If/will attaching more cores before launching the game make the game intrinsically harder with more enemies spawning, better or smoother coop experience with my teammates or Pick up groups?

Will there be a higher quality voice chat option that we could use ingame alongside steam's implementation?
Co-op -

In the lore of the game, do the characters being sent into the complex know eachother prior to the expedition? Or are they taken from a large group; perhaps a prison?
Will there be an inventory separate from your character’s loadout in-match? Or in other words, will we be able to extract items we found in a successful mission to some sort of external inventory?
remote igloo
More of a dev question, not directly related to GTFO, but when you began drawing out concepts and gathering ideas together, what tools did you use to aid in organizing all the information? Design docs have been essential in the past, but now with mindmap software and virtual whiteboard type tools, have any of these assisted you in brainstorming? Are there any you'd recommend?

In the AMA answers @reef magnet said there were no pre-orders, but there is a early access period where the game will be cheaper. Is that not the same thing? If not, how do you distinguish between the two?
zenith ibex
pre orders is when you can buy the game before any playable version is released, an early access you can play the game but its not fully finished/polished @calm shuttle
reef magnet
Exactly. When you pre-order, you pay for a game that hasn't been released yet in any shape or form - and you may not get the game for several weeks or even months. When you buy a game in Early Access, you can instantly download and play the Early Access version of the game.

glossy escarp
In the event that the game never takes off/ultimately flops and that you are forced to stop support earlier than planned, what happens to story development and stuff like that?
That's a major concern I have with "as a service" games that don't release as a standalone finished product with independent additions post-release (good example being newest Hitman 2) but instead develop the base game over time. That wasn't an issue in Payday 2 where honestly nobody cared about the story at release, and later additions were blatantly made on the fly with poor planning. But considering GTFO still is a horror game at core and you seem to have storytelling ambitions, pulling support would mean we possibly could never see the end of it.
Subsidiary question from fanboy pushing his own agenda: How reasonable would it be to add (post-official release) a mode with fully procedurally-generated levels and objectives using your in-house tools to create truly infinite replayability (sort of roguelike-ish in conception)?

For in-game voice chat, could the volume at which we are communicating with eachother alert enemies? I don't even know if that's technically possible, but how cool would it be if my team and I LITERALLY had to keep our voices down over in-game voice to not alert.

Q3: Stadia? Is there any potential for GTFO partnership or interest in the studio over this?

Lore: - Have you guys thought in any way to show the players the world they're living in? If so, in which ways? (Radio signals, missing notes, missing tapes...you get the idea)
- Do we live in a futuristic world based on our beloved book, 1984 by Georgie? IF not, will you make it happen? Money is not a problem ;).
- Jokes aside, what kind of world (outside world, surface) do we live in? Cheers!

Regarding progression / customization
Is it an XP or resource based system? Any more details on how it works?
Regarding "scavenging"
Is it just ammo and mission objectives, or are there things we can loot to sell / use / craft things with?
If crafting is a thing:
is it in-mission (craft a medkit/grenade to use) or is it out-of-mission (permanent upgrades)?
(I've been playing Escape from Tarkov lately and some of the loot ideas from that game would be a great fit here, I think. - don't have to "answer" that)
warm halo
Since most of the gameplay is focused on the Complex, how would you say that how long is the game duration? Is it like a campaign or take loot and leave (like Shadow Raid on Payday2)?
tough terrace
Since lore will be gradually added later on in the game, will the community be able to influence/give reccomendations to the GTFO lore?
zealous nest
the game will have a procedural map?
ivory berry
How do players queue for a session in the game?
silk haven
Will there be any chance of Steam workshop implementation? (this kinda touches the topic of mod support too) , I pretty much play Left 4 dead 2 alot because of the amazing mod support.

if you get downed, will enemies still target you? It bothers me in games where sometimes the strat is to get downed and shoot because the enemies ignore you
stone meadow
When the whole squad goes down, what happens with progression? Is all progress/resources for that expedition lost? Do you keep everything but just have to restart? Are there checkpoints that the squad can restart at until you finish the expedition? etc.
void birch
Will there be an option to disable settings such as motion blur and depth of field? Also FOV slider?
rose lynx
Reviving teammates: will it be a third person revive where we lose control of our character and watch the revive animation play out ? OR is it more arcade-y a la hold down a button near them and thats it?
long lantern
how will the stealth system work with noise generated by walking versus running and jumping? Will there be certain types of terrain to watch out for because they make more noise? Will the noise generated by knocking things over (if that's a thing) alert enemies as well?
iron prairie
what is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?
tender dome
How will you guys punish players that teamkills everyone?
Will there be ranking system?
When searching for a game, will it be like PDTH/PD2-like? Or will it be random matchmaking?
Will there be harder difficulties or PD2 Crime Spree-like?

Would there be 2 player split screen
For consoles i mean.
My brother and i have been playing games together for years and we love left 4 dead, GTFO seems like the perfect game for us to play. So it would be awesome if you added split screen on the console versions.

Will we be able to stream Early Access gameplay?
solid flicker
With the way the dynamic stealth system works, when a player gets caught out and downed alone, will the AI suddenly be a little more agro with looking for players, sit on the downed player "guarding him", or will it go back to it's normal pathing as if nothing happened?
thick hound
Will the games be more of a pc to pc connection? Is it an open lobby or can you play invite only?
velvet forge
Peer to peer, like payday2 but well more optimized cuz unity has more utility

Locking this channel now, we have a huge backlog of questions from here that we'll answer bit by bit in the coming days/weeks. Thanks to everyone who contributed with questions and curiosity!
bitter drift
Just my last one,
What do you feel makes this game unique or similar in any way?
