accidental pego tame would be funny
Any type of callback to weird things that would actually happen in the game would be funny
I want every character to collectively hate itchys
How about a running gag, quietly walking along talking and then yeeted mid-sentence by a kapro, purlovia, thyla lol
Would probably get annoying, just like in game i guess
Mei riding/taming giga
would depend on the comedic timing i think lol, and yea, cant be overused, best used when least expected 🙂
Short 5 min montage of him getting killed on repeat
it wouldn't be bob without the montage
True
i mean mei does tamed a giga... she probably forcetamed it
@west cedar my fav would be the graduate student notes
to show how desperate and horrific abberation was!
if they planned on having an abberation part of the show that is ^^
😱
I’ll cry if it’s not
Abb-ext Santiago
If I don't see Diana I will scream
I really hope we get an extinction part of the show
hopefully if they show abberation maybe set up rockwell for season 2 when he injects himself with element
mei yin's army of tames vs the megapithicus.



Helena marching into Mei Yin's camp and her first words being about manure/feces
I want to see that overseer vs nerva’s army
I want to know what in the fuck actually happens to Mei and Diana post-Extinction
Honestly I want Helena and Mei Yin to flirt a bit.
just a little bit.
As a treat.

Hell no.
Leave Mei flirting between Mei and Diana.
I'm not saying they should get TOGETHER.
and admittedly I'm not up to the notes with Diana, but by my reading Mei Yin was alone during The Island, occasionally teaming up with Helena.
Some light flirting before Mei Yin gets together with Diana
Did you not hear that Helena is going to have a wife in the series?
my understanding was that.......the wife was going to be from before the Ark
based on the text from the soundcloud
One of the themes for Helena Walker, a 21st century paleontologist who is awakened on the ARK, connecting to the theme for Victoria Walker, Helena's wife in her past life.
Well, doesn't really matter.
To Helena, she's still alive.
if Victoria is on the Ark with Helena, fine.
Yeaaaah, no.
If my spouse gets adducted to another place and starts flirting with another person, even though there's no clear evidence that i'm dead. I'd be pissed.
Clearly is from her pasts life
No shit, sherlock
Either way having 2 characters just team up or be around eachother a lot doesn’t mean they need to flirt or something
Right.
not my reading of the Victoria stuff from the stuff we have, but it's early days
also they don't have to.
doesn't mean I don't want it
I wouldn’t really mind but it would just make no sense
Yes, we already know this.
Especially when Mei (at least in the notes) had not really known Helena for long on The Island.
They seemed like friends, but the most minimalistic form of the definition. (since Mei had no issues knocking Helena the fuck out.)
Wasn't till Aberration that their friendship actually became a 'friendship'
This is why I prefer Helena as an Ace
Also, now you know why Disney always killed off the protag's parents
It's always simpler when characters are ace.
Yeah they were really just 2 people trying to figure something out… wouldn’t make sense if they flirted
Mei didn't even go out to save Helena.
It just so happened that Nerva took Helena as a prisoner and went to the volcano. Right after Nerva killed Mei's raptor.
Mei was on a revenge journey, not saving Helena.
Helena just so happened to be at the volcano.
Also Mei is originally reclusive because she felt more of a mercenary than a person
And felt more at peace with animals, then other humans
Mei was kind of heartless and merciless on the island, she warmed up a bit later.
Not really "heartless" since she helped a raided village
Yep.
She went from a Chinese warrior, to just a person wanting to survive and help.
Didn't she only do it for supplies though?
Check this out to see if you agree
Before she discovered guns and taming
I like Ned and all. (because he is my boss)
But i don't think he has any skills in animation.
Ye ik but like helping with script
They have other people for that
They hired a person from Marvel to do that I dunno
He's recreating a already written story in a cinematic form. Not making a whole new story from scratch.
Which is practically what the Animated-Series is doing.
The animated series is changing it
I don't think you required to animate to ever make a pilot episode
I mean look at the pilot for regular show, it's basic AF
That's.........what i said, yes?
Ye basically
There's still animation though in it.
It's basically close to a storyboard/animatic than a full animation
There's still animation within the mouth movement
It's simplistic, yes.
Again, comparing recreating a already made story in a cinematic form vs making a whole new story from scratch (which is practically what what TAS is doing.) is different professions.
A popular series on YouTube called "The Summoning" is created by someone with no animation experience
That was 4-years ago?
With no follow up.
So
There is but the creator kept it vauge
Also, that shit is 100% animation.
Yep yet she made that pitch with no experience in animation
What’s even the point of the argument
What argument?
We are now just discussing animations now
Do you see this as an argument, or a discussion?
You have to have a form of knowledge to do anything.
When someone says "This animation made this animation with no experience" that's kind of a fat lie.
When they say that, they just mean "I never went to school or watched videos on how to do this. So i monkey smashed the program until i figured it out on my own" which is what a lot of people do anyway.
When i mean "i don't think Ned has experience in animation" i mean i'm pretty sure he knows 'nothing' on the step-by-steps of animating. (other then editing software animations, like a PNG image sliding on screen. I'm more talking about hand-drawn art)
If he putted his mind towards animation, then yeah. I think he can make it.
How can someone with zero experience in animation managed to made a successful series on YouTube?
She did made a good pitch that is (probably) made from scripts or at least even a comic
Scratch that.
I 'KNOW' he can make it.
Issue stems from the fact that, by the time he's eligible to be hired by the animation studio. The show would probably be done.
Exactly. How can someone with no experience at all make such a good animation?
You ask me. 🤷♂️
I will send you a link about what I mean
Animation isn’t really easy… so idk
Sure
Which is kind of my point.
How can someone with literally no experience make such a good video?
And by the way, and i mean 'no experience' i'm more saying "someone who has just installed a software and knows literally nothing about animation other then 'pictures move'"
Be done ark 2 is coming out
?

So new series for that later down the line
You assume ARK-2 is ever getting a series.
Watch later lol I was gonna sleep
ARK-1's story is better told in a media anyway, since the notes do barely anything. And the story wasn't the 'main' focus of the first game. (until the Genesis maps)
ARK-2 seems more focused on the story and the events going on are current. So what would a show even be about?
If ark is I assume 2 will
Ned will be married, have a family, probably be done with YouTube, and have great grandchildren before ark 2 gets a animated series lmao

Not how that works.
True
Gonna be another 7+ years until we get one.
Wat
This is what i've been asking them this whole time.
No point in the show if ark 2 already tells the story very clearly
just like the game
Lol
I shouldn't have tried to catch up on this chat, now my head hurts again
This is why I have short term memory loss
Uh I’m at school rn I’ve gtg
Tl:DR.
Ned is good boi, but wouldn't be good as animator since he knows nothing iirr about animation other then 'book slide' but man 'could' be a great animator, but TAS would be out already by the time they'd hire him.
Bonz made a vote if people wanted Ned to work on TAS
Dude was randomly like “react to this if ned should be hired”
I mean he could have some minimal input on like a future season maybe if they felt like it, but uh
I would support but schedule, school, and health happens
It's in post, literally cannot happen at this point
Yeah, 'uh' was my reaction
Ned agreed to it
As a joke
Doesn't mean Wildcard would, lmao
Whatever Ned could do, a professional could probably do better
They do hire people for that sort of thing, yeah
But that depends if the professional respects the original tho
(Unlike Halo)
I’ve got science cya
Turn off your phone lol
This is the point i've been trying to make.
I believe in the man, and he can make great shit.
But he needs to go to more classes if he wants to go further with stuff like this.
(then we don't have to read them anymore)
For sure, I appreciate all he's done thus far, it's a lot of work and takes a lot of time to set up and do, but nowhere in there has he animated anything (that I could tell). I think he could help translating the notes to things that happen in the show, though. Just not animating it. Kinda why they hired the studio lol
Right
That is what I said about "you don't need an animation experience" to have a successful pitch
Sometimes it's the script or even a good synopsis
Think i got confused about that.
I thought you've been trying to say that "you can animate, even if you have no experience"
That is demeaning as hell to every animator out there. xD
Oh no, that is not what I meant
I know animating is hard (hell my first hand drawn GIF is a pain to animate)
Pikmin explained better than I could
I'll watch it tomorrow
I mean, I can animate, but it's shite, since I have no experience 🤣
Same.
I 'can' animate in Blender. But Mazzy knows how shit they are
Lmao
Literally flipnote animations of a bouncy ball are as far as I go lmao
See.
She isn't even defending it, cause she knows how shit it was
I am not gonna say anything because NDA lol
I'm surprised i was able to pull off this pfp.
I can pose some skeletons in Gmod like a mofo tho
Ah yes, a NDA is your excuse on defending a animation.
Hmmyes, reasonable.
I joined body acting crew before Ned decided to put an NDA for future applicants lol
I did also.
So ye I am still quiet about your (probably unused) animations
He's using it for sure.
Man spent money on it.
Wait, what was your first video?
Rockwell/Helena SE notes
HA! I predate you!
I am not denying lol
But you weren't 'not' not denying. 
Damn, can't believe Mei's video is nearly 2 years old
True
I somehow have the bad feel that Ark 2 will get LifeAction-Movies and not an animated.
It's Vin diesal
One of the CEO's of WC hinted to that and VD himself also hinted to something like that.
Huh
There was this one Vid were the WC guy talked about the idea of 3 movies with Vin Diesel and VD hinted something with "Ark on the big screen"
As long as it looks cool
Avatar 3.0 with dinosaurs lol
To be fair, that motherfucker is just saying shit.
This is the same dude that wanted ARK NFT's.
Within a company that the owner 'despises' microtransactions.
The movie stuff also got hinted by VD as well.
Again. Jesse is the owner.
It's up to him at the end of the day.
He do be sayin shit tho 👆
If VD owns part of it or has the rights he can make movies and maybe it is even what Jesse wants. You don't know that.
The owner of a company has all rights towards everything underneath them.
If Jesse for some reason gave away some of his powers to Vin, then the company is already fucked and doomed.
Having stocks in a company doesn't give you the final say on everything. That's what the owners role is for.
And we don't know any of that.
Jesse is a business man, not dumb.
he wouldn't give some of his own rights within the company away for an actor.
I only said VD hinted that. How much meaning it has in the end and how much truth there is to it we will have to see cause we don't know what is happening behind the screens.
Vin can hint all he wants with stuff.
That's no different then the CEO saying NFT's will be in ARK-2.
He might have given the option to use his IP in movies with earning as well.
That, is actually very much true.
Forgot about that.
Like that would also earn him money and even promote his game
Maybe, but until it's stated officially it's just hearsay
Welp, if the movie is shit. Then his ass is on the line then within the company.
I also only see it as possibility that might happen and was hinted. As I said.. how much truth there will be to it will have to bee seen.
If there even is movies, let alone live-action ones
Right
What that mean? I’m a bit slow I just woke up
You know how much fucking money you'd need to make the creatures look even decent?
He can have gotten the rights from WC to use the Ark IP for movies so he can make Ark movies with their lore, etc and WC will earn a percentage of what the movies will bring.
Jesse could've gave some of the creative rights to Vin to allow him to make movies under Jesse's IP's
Ah yes okay
As if that is an issue for VD with his own studio.
Live action rock drake was pretty cool
True, the pixomondo trailers were killer tbh
Vin makes fucking racing movies, not full blown CGI shit that the marketing of is crashing due to MCU movies overworking multiple studios, and a movie right now that'd have 60% CGI would be near BILLIONS right now.
F&F has TONs od CGI
Thought it used practical effects?
No, it doesn't lol
Damn, i put too much faith then.
And CGI is not billions
Normally it isn't.
a lot of newer movies have a lot of CGI and F&F they even boast with how much cool CGI effect they have
Did you not hear that Disney is overworking multiple CGI studios currently?
They went to quantity over quality, kinda disappointing
Right, but that isn't the point.
That has nothing to do with price one company costs for their CGI though, just that Disney is overworking CGI companies, unless I misunderstood
If they're being overworked, then what makes you think they want to work with another company right now?
To make it worth it, Wildcard (or Vin) would have to pay them the same amount Disney is currently to make them worth working on.
That was my point
Ah, ok so you mean they have ongoing contracts (or something of that nature) preventing them from working with people who aren't Disney, got it
Do you really think Vin has to care for money and not every company wants to work for Disney
Not every, sure.
But he'll need to go through some third-party shit then.
"Ello, this is CGI studio from India. May i take your order?"
Not really.. there are companies that made the dragons for GoT, JP, etc.. that don't work for Disney and they are fucking good and not third party shit.
Y'all like sour-cream?
JP is debatable if it was good.
I kid.
The CGI was good and Diesel has some CGI studio on hand that made his F&F CGI.. so he has not even big need to search.
JP used mostly practical effects though, with a tinge of CGI.
Would be possible for a Ark movie as well.
That's if they're going for quality over quantity if Vin is directing it.
If you make Avatar with dinosaurs he also can use that studio and only cause Disney has some Studios at hand that does not mean there are other good ones left.
Cheeseburger
Yes, very related to the Ark tv show...

I'm sure Bob would enjoy a cheeseburger
I estimate that the show will come out in September or August.
Proof?
I'm not sure abt the release date but I do estimate we will have more information about it by then for sure
Because I think all the episodes are done
My guess is late November
Where do I find the animated series?
We dont know yet. All known info is in the pins

Is ark animated released?
i dont believe so
Nope


Pretty sure it was announced to be on hbo max
Not officially. Someone saw it on a Google page and assumed.
No more bob sticker?
Bob will return for another limited run at a future date!



What's the betting the series will start with a scene of Bob waking up on the beach?


You asked for betting
Ep 1 will be bob waking up on the beach, checking out at the implant in his arm, then looking dead ahead saying, "it's bobin time"

Kinda cringe
Nah that sounds absolutely awesome

whens planned release date?

You click that little Thing called pin on top of the discord and there you find all Info we have als well. Reading helps a Lot to avoid asking queations no on has an answer for atm.
it's bobbin' time




“Estimate”





















V1nce fan?
Who?
V1nce
Never heard of him
who?

V1nce







My favorite part of ark was when bob showed up and said "its bobbin' time" and then he bobs the entire cast.




Proceeds to get killed by alpha giga


Which is also ridden by Bob.
Bobception



Legend of 


🧑🏿🦲

bobs
It's been a long time since anything but bobs head was used here lol












ease up on the emojis please guys, its getting to a point it will actively deter attempts at conversation
^
14 30 miniute episodes
14x30= 420
420÷60= 7
So 7 hours of ark anime
not nearly enough
No goddam way anyone is gonna binge 7 hours
i need at least 3 years of pure ark anime
I really wondering in what streaming platform will the series be?
Isn't confirmed yet

I can see that being the length if they did non canon maps
Challenge?
It just needs to release during holiday
Yes ~progress, it's a challenge
It was -progress smh
Weekend when I can get drunk
Weekend might be fine but idk how hard schools gonna be
Ark animated so u nds like somfhkng I'd watch while intoxicated
Ill respect it
Idk if ill like the story or characters but hey at least its lore without needing to read what, 400 explorer notes?
Just repeat "the only way I'm dying is if I sever my own head" while doing homework
Idek if the homework would be the issue or not 💀
Try me, I'll even livestream me watching the entire thing
Twitch or yt?, and will you react?
No reactions pls
I mean, neither, discord stream, but no I would not react lol
"bruisingpikman on ark animated"
No joke, I have the loosest schedules of all time, I've binged entire seasons and shows while at work
I just finished seasons 4 & 5 of Lost last week
My fucking God what fucking job do you have?
I'm a live-in homecare aide 😂
Explains why your able to play ark and binge
Does he play ark with you tho
They might, if they could figure out the controls, they're elderly and have issues with sight sometimes
Ah yea
But they've shown interest in the game, and played ESO with me before, so it's not a stretch... lol
Senior pro ark tribe 
Solos AKT week 1 of playing
Unironically peak ark players cause of ability to spend 30 hours a day
Mf playing 4 work shifts
Solo out grind megas
Honestly most of the elderly would probably be great at Ark 😅
Flexible hours, no bedtime, no job, no need to worry about getting served a divorce from their wife/husband because they game all day (their significant others just dgaf usually lol)
Potential untapped market
The last piece to the puzzle is getting gaming rigs to the masses
This game is literally perfect for seniors
You say that, while i binged the whole Season-4 of Stranger-Things
yeah tbh it kinda is
man Ima double monitor binge the show once it comes out in a day whilst playing ark
'True'
I wonder if itll be here by winter
hopefully
Already july with no announcement date
honestly I feel its gonna be late 2023
I can't see it before ARK-2. Since releasing it a bit before ARK-2 comes out seems like the perfect marketing tool to get everyone both hyped and caught up for ARK-2
The key to watching a show on your second monitor is to watch it like 5 times because otherwise you miss like 1/2 of it
Just put it on a loop, ez win
when you watch something on your other monitor you're really just half-listening to the audio more than anything
i just watched the trailer im getting avatar vibes
Uhhhh, sure
It do be lookin like da avatar planet doe 👀
Ah
Search the Helena concept art and the Korra concept (character) art and you will know why.
ik

That's good
Avatar was good
And ark the animated series will also be good
Good shows always have a certain vibe to them

Bad shows also have certain vibes to them, bad vibes XD
usually cheap animation that looks like it was made in flash
That's why I feel like ark will be a show that's only good when intoxicated
what? ark's animation looks pretty great (compared to some modern shows)
i'm referring to the very 2D style where the characters are almost static
is there a realese date

all episodes have been in post production for a month at this point

B


This Bob chain will definitely go on until the animated series and probably even beyond after
No, don't get carried away again. Make allowance for conversation.
... have you seen my pfp lol
1
= 1 
not like there's much actual discussion in here anyway

Just dont get carried away
I want Bob to carry me away to ark animated 2
you guys need to show restraint before i can bring the sticker back for another limited run 🙂
First series already a success cause Bob
😳
Guys we’re on a TRIAL RUN
Don’t mess it up!
Trial success

Im not ready to see Bob in action anyways
No need to watch the show
Just a disembodied head
I just need His face
Then whats all that neck doing in the emoji its not necessary
Well i want all of Bob but we just dont have that privilege
Not anymore at least
Cause traitor
▪️ 
👔
▪️ 👖


Pass the Bob










Ayo, Bob doesn't got no noodle arms
Bob lookin like a Tank from L4D
What about the charger with the one giant arm and then the other tiny dangly one
when is this ever gon come out
When there is no bob emoji posted for an engire day
That's Nerva


when does it release


There needs to be a trailer dedicated to Bob only.

Seeing what bobs role in the story will be is actually a good idea
You guys all want to see Bob lol Don't be sad if Bob dies in the first episode, just to demonstrate the life in ARK
Was the respawn thing available during helena's time on the arks? Cuz i know it's a lore thing as well
Or did it come later?
guys, its Grand Moff Tarkin from starwars
Helena made it after she became a homo deus. Diana was the first to respawn and it was inconsistent at first.
No
So when is this shit coming out?
one day

Question about Ark the animated series, will the show go threw all story maps on Ark?
We don't know
As of right now though, it's only The Island
ok
Alr, thanks for the information
Any new updates on the show recently
No



what month yall thinkin its releasing
November
It's been in post production for a month now
My ocd gets triggered by your pfp not being centered
My pfp is centered
No
Yes
Just because you can't see the k dosent mean anything
@feral lake how is my pfp not centered
Holy shit, i can see it.
The cross is a 'taaaad' bit more to the right
Think you're over exaggerating it. 
Mans came in here, posted two whole messages, and got you questioning your profile picture 🤣
Yes, bruising, yes
It aint centered tho
I like it how it is
Lmao i wasnt mad or anything
You just wanted to fuck shit up

Huh

Is there already a release date for the series? And a platform?
Didnt follow the news for a lang time

All info is in the pins. No release date *aside some sometime in 2022. No platform info yet

google needs to fix that HBO thing it has then >.>
Mei Yin 🥺
she's what I imagine a adult Azula would look like
Dollie: 'Enters chat. Posts a picture, pins it, then leaves'
True chad material.
She gives me fire nation avatar vibes
The Mei Yin nation

O.o
