My first reference was Spore 😄
Yaaas! Exactly what i was thinking but of course devs can put a twist on it that we can interact way more with the illuvials
You guys have played a lot of games. And I thought I was a gamer lol
I grew up playing dune 1 and full throttle, day of the tentacle etc. I feel old
Well the first game I got to play was the Airplane one on Atari. Don't even remember its name now. I remember my dad buying Atari and I was laughing my ass off out of joy
Id say your more og than me lol. I dont remember the atari games i played. My old school console games were contra battle tanks etc
Woah! I remember playing game n watch, then Tetris on a brick game. Then comes the Family Computer, super Mario brothers, battle city, galaga, twin bee, B wings, adventure island, contra, etc. next thing you know there is illuvium 😜
Oh man, the brick gameboy! Such fond memories!
No backlit screen and trying to play in the dark 😅 and then the colour one came out and backlight for the screen. GAME CHANGER! Such nostalgia.
I understand you lol! Same games here
We have an age, but don't mind!
Our bodies have aged but our minds have stayed the same hahaha.
I can definitely see mini game like zoo being huge success among kids they can learn a lot about economy playing nft game
Imagine parents asking kids to borrow them some illuvials so they can play tournament :)
Yes, but imagine children coming over and saying, "Dad, your credit card has just been blocked. Um, I must have spent too much ..."
In this regard, there is a project which is gonna make personalized AI-NFT's that you own. These AI's can be coupled to any form that can translate their output. Imagine how awesome it would be to have a Illuvial zoo and each Illuvial has their own character and you can get to intimately learn them and what their needs are, what they like to do etc.
Axie will have open world aswell.
what about Plant tycoon ser?
Probably not as rich as illuvium's.
🔥
Ofcourse not, its just that it will exist.
I know they're doing land gameplay but I don't know about a 3D open world like Illuvium will have.
That's what I would expect lol
May be an unpopular opinion but I'd really suggest the staff to refrain from talking about other projects. Nothing to be gained from trashing other games.
Shows their confidence and high standards. Holds them accountable to producing something that will blow everything else out the water as well. The creators have been very supportive of upcoming projects in the scene and havve collabed with a few already. Only criticism I have seen was on their own personal accounts so they have every right to express their thoughts.
You can scroll just a few messages up here and you can see some banter towards axie. I couldn't give a lesser crap about axie, still I don't think it's the right way to go about things to talk negatively in the game's discord about other projects. Personal accounts? Do whatever you want unless you're Kieran who I also think should try to be a little bit more calm over there as CEO, lol
Uuhh I think I'm being pretty respectful with my point, no need to get sassy. But whatever.
You said it yourself, its banter. and even then being critical of competition is never a bad thing it is literally the driving force to keep excelling and being better.
I think we all like to have some fun around here too. I think we all know Axie did some good work with getting P2E on the map. But comparing the graphics isn't exactly fair nor apples to apples. I think some tongue in cheek comments about that aren't necessarily disrespectful but each to their own opinion.
I think in terms of axie and other projects, trashing the greedy moves by the developers should absolutely be welcomed. Fills me with confidence as an investor tbh that kieran wont do the same because of his disgust he expressed in reference to this.
Axie is making me entrance money to Illuvium. Will be able to get top of the line pc so I can enjoy it more. Cant hate on Axie tho, it's a decent android game i play while i'm at work. Everyone who disregards other people's work is disrespectful. Ofcourse Axie cant compare to a tripple A game, but its something, and millions play it.
I don't find Axie a "game" where people come because they enjoy playing it, its only for the money.
Illuvium is concibed as a true GAME which will atrackt people because of the game experience itself and also the p2e concept, but his first goal is to atrackt players
Criticism into something that is already big is a way of making your product visible, I think Kieran and some members of the team use that as a marketing strategy more than actually hating on Axie itself since they just want to reach Axie playerbase
Indeed, i've been playing it for 5 months now an let me tell you repeating the same thing over and over and over it just kills me, but since i make almost equal money as my paycheck, its something i came to terms with. I don't mind it as long as its profitable.
Sure, and I understand it, but I think once projects like Illuvium, Guild of Guardians, league of ancients and more start to come out, well perhaps its not going to die, but this new projects will succed where Axie hasnt and it will loose lots of players
hey, everyone, I am working on a video about classes and affinities, but I got stuck there trying to figure out each one of them
I would appreciate it if anyone could correct/add something to it
thank you very much!
Most of those are unknown or speculations. Team has only shared a few of the names for affinities and classes
I know
I got all of them from the leaks
maybe someone found something that I didnt
there is a "mud" affinity i thought. That was in the quiz from a while ago right?
mmhhh I think you are right
Ahhh... That's awesome. You found more than 50% already?
air + mud were the two shortest names of affinities.
I think so
there might be some changes, though
I saw a few times the same symbol for "guardian" and "bulwark"
not sure if it was a mistake or if they decided to change the name
I wonder what that one could be
i think the blue brown drop... not sure 😄
I guess the one next to fire
yes, that one
there is also frost
it might be either the one next to granite or the one next to air
I guess the one next to granite
I didn´t want to risk it though
yes cuz Ice was not one of them. did you go through all the messages Kieran sent during his quiz?
alright well Ice was not an affinity 😛 that's as far as i remember
I just checked pics and vids
The answers to the quiz is pinned on #💬〕general I'd check them there
cool, thanks!
I will check all the messages
I just found this
It is all I have though
I have one or 2 more than this list
aaannnd bullwark was changed
😆
Want to share what the ones missing are? 
I'd say frost is the one next to air. Somehow the one next to granite looks more like a clump of bacteria due to it being greenish xD what frost is greenish?
then what is poison though XD
i think that green ice one is nature + air, something like pollens or airborne bacteria/viruses
Mmhh I wonder what the difference between that and poison could be
Could be the difference between poison and parasitism.
The one next to maelstrom is air+air… I guess something like wind or storm
Dont know if we are cluttering this chat too much.
Well, I think that is the point of this chat, isn’t it? 🤔
I hear ya. I played for a couple months, but gameplay got repetitive. I still breed now and am taking those profits for Illuvium. It serves a purpose for me. I enjoyed the card game more at first, there is some strategy but it's too simple and I stopped playing when I was only playing for the money not for fun.
Volkin did a video before and made some guesses and compiled what he knew. Maybe worth checking out.
Also, did Grant post his IG in #🚰〕leaks ? I didn't see a link...
It's in the message: #🚰〕leaks message 🙂
Not as a link though
Just the account handle
Thank you! I was looking for a link. Clearly not awake enough yet 😅
Is it just me?
my eyes I cannot unseee..... 😦
LMAO! Yeah def can't unsee that now 😂
Thanks, i Watched half of it this morning. I will finish it tonight
Have you checked the pins in here?
It’s not just you.
Damn… I have been searching different keywords and didn’t think about checking the pins 🤦♂️
I’ve mentioned the phallic nature of things in the past and this is by FAR the least symbolic and most likely to have been an actual scan of some pork sword. 🗡 eww
I really out to update the image but I know there have been a few others that have gotten it closer and filled in more names for some of the other classes.
Oh, ok. I will check better as soon as my children are asleep
Nice. The post I just pinned has some updates as well. There’s something wrong with a couple too but it’s getting closer.
What?i don't see it, can you elaborate? Preferably through interpret dance?
Thanks to grant now ive gotta make an IG account 🤣
If you don't see it, all good, nothing missed there. I just wanted to check whether or not it's just me who sees something there and possibly give Grant a chance to have it changed if necessary.
I am just kidding, there is a giant penis attached to that plant.
Where is the most up to date?
You tell me Ben. Aaron has yet to give us the thumbs up on anything. @worn quest and @tight ermine have gotten close but not quite yet finished.
So they can finish it off 😄
😍 yay new leaks!
Who's gonna update the graphic? Lol
Nice! I can later today
The classes sound amazing!
Of course I’m not sure we are certain which name go with which combo… but I feel pretty confident we can figure it out.
Hve grant started to share content on instagram?
I will update mine as soon as I get home 😁😁😁😁
Looks right to me!
Loved your interview with Grant. Would you be able to summarize how the open world encounters work? You shoot the floating “bubble” then chase an illuvial that tries to escape into a void? It was still very confusing to me even after Grants explanation.
Thanks for confirming!
Nice work! Super cool to see it finally completed.
Thanks!
Some new folks won’t see how two affinities/classes combine to make a new one. But many will get it.
Its art. I wonder what the veiny-ness represents to the creator
What an excited fungus
Yes, I need to work on another one where you can see The combinations. I Just didnt have enough space on that one
But at least now @worn quest can finish his image as well
Yeah no worries
Our original overworld was 2d for the record. It was not anywhere near this bad, but it wasn't even close to what we have now. It's amazing what 11 months will do.
Yep, and its going to be incredible to see how far we've come 12 months on from now looking back in Q4 2022
Water + Nature is Bloom.
Actually I locked myself out of my old discord account and so I don't have as much history as I would like. In fact I think I still owe someone $50 but I don't have their details and stopped looking after about a month of searching.
So I don't think I have any screenshots of the 2d world.
Hi @granite musk, Would like to ask if variety of weapons have its corresponding omega skills for the human character to inherit?
I thought earth+nature=bloom, water+nature=poison
That's correct. In the trailer you saw the pulse gauntlets and the longsword.
Although the gauntlets are going to be a beam longer term, similar to the pistol shrimp.
Sorry you are right. Mental hiccup there.
awesome !
will upgrading the weapons also affect the animations/effects of the omega skills? say the higher the upgrade the wilder the animation in executing the omega skill? 😅
Not to begin with. Maybe never. We want them to be pretty clear, and having multiple versions could confuse that.
ohh I see,
I hope the team will implement it hehe. might add encouragement also to players to upgrade those weapons on top of stats improvement per upgrade. Imagine the higher the upgrades of the weapon the cooler execution/effects of the omega skill it can get . leaving a slight headache to the players what to upgrade first, illuvials or the human char equipment.
There are lots of things we want to do eventually, but can't focus on for now. Things like different looks for the Illuvials need to wait until they are fully iconic. I think the same goes for weapons.
Yeah I understand the team needs to implement first the basics before we go wild hehe. it's just me getting excited for the future 😅 .
really appreciate the time to respond on queries and also the overall team for the hard work. Thank you! 😊
That's poison, earth + nature is bloom 😛
I was already corrected 😛
Someone stole my thunder. I only get a few corrections a month. 😦
Very nice document, didn't expect so much details! You are doing so great guys
here is the updated version
@granite musk @rigid cypress i believe this is correct now but if you can doblecheck would be great
^^ We need these pinned!
Thank you!
Nice work! We've come a long way 😉
Wait, is Guardian an old name replaced by Bulwark? They overlap in orange on the right.
"we've come a long, long way together..." 🎵
Correct!
Through the hard times and the good.
ok, so this is the right one, isnt it? XD
Awesome!
yes it was replaced!
thanks once again to @flat rose as he helped me with this and also @worn quest in his videos.
and obviously @rigid cypress that gave us the last details!
The best part was (oh @ here) part haha 😄
That Crystal cave looks like a magical place! 😍
@limber mortar @dense solar did alexis really only have this lore quote as the launchpad for this crystal cave concept art? So cool. And I love that the art team is giving us some written lore leaks
This cave is going to be insane!! 
How did I not see them there!? Wow! That puts things in perspective for scale. I'm even more excited now 
Always zoom in, it's the Grant way
cool environment you got there haha
I think Kendrick did the initial exploration sketches a while back. Aaron and I wrote up a full description for the CW environments a few weeks back and this is 1 part of it that needed some CA so the environment artists can get some inspiration for building it out.
Then Alexis took the description with old sketches and cooked something up ;)
Oops the server names confused me. I know you are beekart
cooking crystals....sounds like cooking Metamphetamine 😄
hello everyone
I gotta praise you like I should... 🎶
👀
Hello guys! Could I have the rotation of affinities?
Water beats fire, fire beats nature, Nature beats ????
maaan i like this a lot
This is just hilarious LMAO
looks like the flora and even some of the fauna are gonna be huuuuge
Doesn't this show that a previous civilization lived on the planet -> we can see they were humanoid that made the obelisks? or at least there were humanoids when the illuvials came.
nvm it's not a lore leak. Just some style references.
"Ancient NFT's" 
yep a little lore leak
haha the cave drawings.....It's so nice 😄
pretty cool
Doesn't it say in the game description that the former inhabitants of the world could be ancestors of the spacefaring people that crashed?
oh might have missed that lol
where squizz in the wall paintings?????
he's hidden somewhere 😉
not in this shot tho 😄
I can tell you that there are some things on these drawings that are not accurate. One of them is the humanoid drawing. That will be removed.
Yeah. There is a debate about this place that you will see in the final cinematic trailer.
That humanoid looks like Aapon
yeh sorry those images in the corner of them both are style references for vincent they arent made by any of us 😮
Just how big is that flower
pretty huge..
The wall painting looks better here
Ahh alright yeah that's fine 🙂
Is the final cinematic trailer going to be even more epic 😉 ?
hehe pretty much
Its so sick! I remember i was writing about doing some kind of lore hidden like that for some greater riddle with some sick price 😄
i will find and take a picture there. with my mozart. also i hope i can summon an illuvial with my shot tho 😄
I hope so.
If Rogier wants he can show you the mammoth that someone else did, and the one that he did.
Does Whamphyr have a successor?
NFT! NFT! Huurh NFT! Whamphyre needs some fwends.
Well now I want a mammoth
I didn't even notice the character standing there until I zoomed hard enough. Also the painting under looks like a headquarter or some other structure
That wall paint is the obelisk
yeah but I mean it could be more to it rather than just being a monument kinda thing. All speculations are fun
The mammoth that was done previously was (in my opinion) pretty good. But then Rogier did his version, in 42 minutes, and it would just way better.
That's the one
What will be the final version?
he looks intimidating? :X
Ain't no one hugging my Dark Holo Mammoth except me!
Is this Sanctum Mesa?
I guess it's really the mammoth which decides who can hug... otherwise, probably getting impaled...
Crimson waste #🚰〕leaks
Oh ok
spider x mammoth
I'm surprised I didn't see Fresno nightwalker like painting on the stone
Extremely disappointed
The inspiration of the mammoth as I see it:
Scorpion as the trunk and horns.
Vampire bat for the ears.
Tibetan terrier dog as body.
Looks about right
Scorpbatdog
Well played! 😂 would have been a hilarious Easter egg, even if it was just for the leaks to mess with us.
Let's go even further imagine if you capture 1/1 nft of Fresno I'm not selling that one under 1mil$
Lol
Maybe Fresno drone?
How would that one look? 🤣
sometimes I watch the development of Illuvium and just pinch myself how early we all are
Hey everyone, looking for some help! Numbers in dark purple are the know structures, but the white numbers are those I'm unclear on.. I know there are silos, data banks, and range extenders(for scanners), but I can't figure out which they are! I also know that this is not a complete image of structures but that's ok!
Have you got any guesses based on the pinned post in #🎮〕illuvium-zero? 8 and 9 were semi leaked but with placeholder names of 'Power up stall' that is all the info I can provide
. Though I speculate that some of the buildings may be higher tier versions of others - but that's just me.
I was thinking the same thing! Some of these are upgraded versions of the same structure.. Thanks, I really appreciate your help! I'm really curious about 6. Based on some leaks, its parallel proximity to other identical structures suggests that it may be either: 1) a pump above several resources; or 2) a power supply that increases yield when coupled with identical units?? not sure
I personally think 11>10, 8>9>3 and 7>4 but I'm just guessing!
this looking kinda sus
He posted it in every channel just ignore it for a little while he will be out soon!
Stormi should be saying good morning shortly 🤣
pistol shrimp gotta be my favorite now
sounds like a slime
next sounds like a frog 😆
next sound is like opening a plastic water bottle
Sooooo, who is the marine aquarium Addict? I love it
the robotic sound is like killjoys turret on valorant
I’d be surprised if there’s less than 12 layers but I don’t know sound that well
Sound like a dolphin that evolved into lobster
While I’m all for a smashing mantis, I absolutely froth on a spearing mantis, those critters are the angel of death.
Anyone else get ASMR vibes from that leak?
Pistolshrimp sounds like a mashup of altered natural/animal sounds and some digital stuff with maybe 10+ layers? Whatever it's made of, I want a few of those dudes in my squad!
Pew pew shrimp
Some Sounds like real underwater recordings of mantis shrimp clicking away. The digital squeals are way cute too. It’s like a little heart 💜 bubble at the end.
How i wish the illuvilas would also shout their names like in pokemon everytime we click/watch them in our collection tab.
Pika-pika
They are less anthropomorphized than Pokémon. So they just have their natural wild calls.
"I AM RHAMPHYRE" with hoarse and heavy voice
a robotic voice of M0z4rt could say their names, but it would be sort of boring maybe, cuz always the same voice🤔
Mo-mo-mozart, mo-mo-mozart
Still waiting for something that drives me away from Atlas, Dash, Rhamphyre and Mozart as my "to be tattooed boyband". It's been the four early on and despite awesome leaks since then hasn't changed 😄
I like the monkeys brother, the fur is awesome
Doubt it will be rendered in game tho
There will be this feature to be able to re-play the game with much higher render quality
I don't want to waste time render that lol, would prefer to play the game
he-he, that's true, but may be sometimes, just for fun, to see them in all beauty
Oh the groom expert is pretty amazing.
Have you seen the lynx leaks?
Which one? I scrolled all they way up, but didnot remember their names
The pistolshrimp?
Alphie
Follow the link and wait a bit, it starts from the last one and then scrolls, if you don't touch anything
I am not on desktop rn, discord link never works on mobile for me
Can you send the pic?
apes represent the Warwicks, so they must be tip-top😂
Dang I forgot Or missed that video
Yea lol, the apes brother
This looks like concept art, no?
The back feet are flying
That’s the first go at the 3d groom
Yea ik, would like to see the 3d render
One day we can see it all
I'm just happy how my graphic card will finally find some purpose after 3 long years sitting in my comp for nothing :)
you could mine eth or something😂
I don't have time to waste for one card I sold rest of them 18months ago I'm doing fine staking is new ⛏️ 
This one was done by my wife, @final isle
Thanks dude :)
@random fiber gotta have to add (@ here) so everyone will be tagged and swarm in the page haha 😄
nice one 🙂
Back to work, reacting 20x for each post. XD
That is such a unique model. I love it
my goooddnesss.. what a beast
I bet that stage one snail is gunna cute as Hellz tho lol
I must of missed it 🙄
nice plant. feather duster/cotton buds feels. hehe beautiful. also that snail man. a sea ray living in a shell 😄
Definitely not the actual mouth of the snail, but if it were then:
Thats a horrible addition to the snail (not bad but gruesome lol) Also where is the throat! XD it is cool that it has a galaxy in its mouth...
She really did a good job I don't see any difference between Kieran in real life and this character :)
Haha lol it’s just a gif I found of sharp teeth
Make that meme boi
You made me excited over some silly gif! Lol
lol those horizontal parts make it look very unique
Oh I’m sure that’s just T-pose
Those will be floppy or ropey tentacles
Probably gonna lash out and whip folks
Tentacles? I thought they would be like snails that just feel with them and then be like oooof and pull them back in xD
Entirely correct!
When modelers are finished with a model -> they arrange them in what's called a T pose (because in humanoid models it's a T). Which makes it easier for animators to work with.
This is what it looks like in humanoids
You are one skinny dude Ben. 😉
hahahah makes sense
I alas, am more round than this.
It’s a bit creepy that I’m wearing that outfit today
It's not creepy, I just thought you looked cute today.
Or in the case of cyberpunk, they dont end up putting it back into the natural way 😅
Fancy toilet brush, on that last picture. I wonder what it'll be used for in game 🥳 💩
Rug announcement!
Honestly this High definition art I LOVE IT every time it blows me away! You can zoom in 500% click zoom in, and it stays incredible.
and so quick!? Only took 1 day. Just wow.
Hey guys~ does anyone know where can I find the leaked open world gameplay video, which is a longer version than the trailer?
I can’t remember was it Grant or Kieran who leaked it, but I can’t find it in the #leak
Nov 3d in #💬〕general chat by grant
You are legend!
It’s also pinned in #💬〕general 😉
Just little correction, T-pose is good for rigging first, T-pose is considered neutral pose, and we can start deform from that neutral to some extreme poses as we want.
illuvium trading cards wen
Most major video leaks are also on the Illuvium YT channel.
CCs are on fire. it's so nice seeing other CCs share their own or their team's work
Anybody seen this guy.. Just stumbled on him and he looks sick
Thats sick
Yes, probably not an Illuvial... could be one of the Leviathans. There’s an image leak of a land with very large skeletons.
Can you send it here?
Will do later when I get home 😁
Sadly, I thought I was able to save that image, but not... @copper mauve
Its fine
So many new faces from team illuvium in this chat on daily basis
I hope they like to leak same like Grant
Sorry for being a bit out of the discord but hiring is going well
Good to hear man, thanks for the update!
Is that illuvial?
That's what matters lol!!
Yeah probably. Demon illuvial is probably out of the lore, but who knows
Illuvials cult? Illuvials are praying to demon illuvials?
How did you know about the lore?
Yea, speculating is fun. But real info is more fun
75
Should be 75 right?
5 illuvials * 5 affinities * 3 stages
Yea
I missed that
good material for FanFic writers!
I see, might be a clue to the puzzle
Just leak anything and we are good
Really impressed by your eager to expand!! Looking forward to the work of new team members 🤩
Klatu Barada Niktu!!!!
Love rapid expansion, obviously they are hiring quality but the more people who get hired, the faster all the little bits and pieces come together and compounds.
Road to 200+ Team 😎
Kieran said they wanted to push a lot in terms of mobile developing, so they must hire msny people
Well that was more about getting more VC funding for faster mobile development, i dont think the current hires is related to that
Probably not, but more people is good news anyway
Mobile development is critical, the faster we can get that out, the more of the exposure and early market share we can hopefully capture. By end of 2022 and early 2023, a few blockchain games will start to emerge
Yes
I know some, there will be a gamefi explosion following years and good projects, most of them on mobile
Mobile is bigger than console & PC revenue combined as well as the most accessible, it isnt surprising that kieran is super eager to get mobile development fast tracked
Yup
Is Illuvium looking to take advantage of the Activision Blizzard debacle? Probably a lot of good people looking to jump ship.
hiring leaks?
He also said that moving down from PC to mobile is much easier than going up from mobile to PC. These are truly good business decisions that they "share" in interviews but are easy to miss as we are focused on game leaks and launch.
Man i hate when the reactions on the leaks reset and you have to go back and react to them all again to stay in the 1 of 1 draw, anyone know why they reset?
And please tell me all the reactions increase your chance not just the ilv reaction because ive literally done all 20 reactions to every leak since the dawn of the discord lmao
My guess is he’s 3rd stage tiktaalik
From leviathan arena?
Maybe not an illuvial but something else. Or maybe just an old big one.
Not really. There are a few things with the leviathan name. It’s a little confusing but it will make sense with the story I hear.
They are the big beasts stomping around in the distance.
Aaron said they may feature more in a later title.
Where did u hear or read the story?
The pictures talk about front and back flippers, which if you read the description on tiktaalik it talks about his flippers changing when he evolves AND in one of the interviews I believe grant talks about how stage 1 ILV is cute, stage 2 is meh nothing exciting, and stage 3 is supposed to be the big scary ending!
Chatting with Aaron mostly.
I see
Dang the more I post this one the more it feels a bit conceited. It’s supposed to come across more as ironic. Since I’m not even a true big brain
I just like to pretend I’m smart
I think you are kinda big brain, you know alot of crypto and illivium stuffs
Btw are you joining guild already? For illivium
Beautifull last leak!!! 
That cave art is looking awesome! This homie looks like he's about to get ate
looks like axon
This is the legend of Atlas. The legend says he evolved in to stage 3 Axodon when he fell from a waterfall. He went through stage 2 Axon in mid air ending up at stage 3 Axodon when he landed in the pool at the bottom of the waterfall.
Disclaimer, this is not officially true. I just made it
Big bones one day we will need to team up if we want to capture some enormous creatures, multiplayer game in 2025
if there are ancient wall paintings that would indicate that there are sentient beings living in the world of Illuvials, aside from Arlen's crew
I cant wait for this story line. The size of these skeletons are just massive! Cant wait for the lore to unfold.
Meanwhile there's a casual skeleton the size of a skyscraper just chill'n 👀🤔
It's the Leviathans bones! Woot. I mean I understand why the plants are so big cause they're regular sized compared to the Leviathans that used to roam Illuvium
Feels like we are dropping into that mystery island where giant king Kong was along with the other insanely big animals
Not putting it past Aaron. I would even throw in some jurrasic park storyline where an exctintion event happened and some aliens wanted to bring them back but in teenie weenie manageable sizes this time. Hence the forcefield. Illuvium is isla nublar.
Dang right! Now let us in 🤣🤣🤣
https://c.tenor.com/yKNWg88Y1W4AAAAM/eric-andre-let-me.gif
I need more videos Zyonik! When's that council member video gonna get uploaded?
I'm running dry on ilv content to watch lol
I'll hit some stuff up next week! Still no date yet sadly with the council
My man! 
It might be because the poster deletes and reuploads. Other than that I’m not sure.
And it’s all reactions. I could change it to just ILV if people thought that was easier?
Possibly. It’s not as much work as you think. 😉
They aren’t fat they’re just…big boned.
Yeah fair enough. Nah keep it as all reactions, i was just making sure, its kind of funny tho I actually have to take my time clicking all the reactions because if i go too fast i get a 24hr ip ban from discord because they think im a bot lol, thats the risk you gotta take for a 1 of 1.
This makes so much sense. What if the big bones are the great great grandparents of Atlas. The ancient lure of the Atlas family. We need an Illuvium archaeologist up in here
So Leviathan is the ship, and the Illuvial?
Love seeing stuff about synergies and gameplay mechanics.
@rigid cypress sorry for the ping mate, but just wondering what grit and resolve have interactions with?
Yeah. And the arena.
I know right?!?!? I want more data
So with these numbers, it tells we can have 9 illuvials at the same time on the auto battle board? 😮
Team fight tactics has 9, with the possibility of 10 with an item.
They're defence stats. Reducing damage from physical (grit) and energy damage (resolve) by a flat amount.
In TFT, 10 pieces are max. Prolly the same here
Awesome thanks mate 👊
It won't be about how many Illuvials you can have on the board. It is about the energy that it takes to put that Illuvial on the board.
For example:
You have 100 energy.
- Ramphyre costs 35
- Atlas costs 5
You could have up to 20 Atlas' or 2 Ramphyres.
Yes i understand, this system is in TFT as well
TFT isn't based on energy. It is based on level. And unit slots. You could put all the 5 cost units down if you wanted to.
Illuvium will be different in that respect.
You do have point system in TFT, common piece cost 1 each and legendary cost 5 each.
And to get more slot u have to use point as well
There are anything in between 1-5
Illuvium will also be different in that respect... You will have to own the NFT to be able to use it in PvE battle.
I know that, i mean the board deployment system is prolly similar
It is completely different. The only similarity is that the Illuvials you own will show up as cards. There will not be a rolling shop for you to 'level' them up during the battle. In the PvP you will take turns to place Illuvials down to try and counter each other. I like to think of it like champion select in a game of LoL or DotA, and then the battle board plays out the team and placement that you have made.
Hmmmm, so what will stop Bots/scripts from calculating optimum counters and placement? And precalculating the outcome?
Yea i know there is no shop.
For the PVP, both players will place their illuvials at the same time with time limit (both players can see each other placing)
Then there will be secret move that both players do that the other players will not know.
This is explained by aaron in interview.
My note from Aaron explanation
- We will have time limit to deploy illuvials on the board
- Both players can see each other deployment
(Similar to TFT up to this point) - Both player then can do another move that the other player can't see (this feature is not available in TFT)
- Then the auto battle begin
- Who win that round will deal damage to player character based on their alive illuvials
- Back to 1. But player can totally remove their previous illuvials that was on board and counter the enemy with completely different illuvials.
- First player hp that reach 0 = lose
- In PVP it will be round system, similar to TFT
This is only in pvp, pve will have survival mode and single round mode
For ranked it will be having to own all of the different stage 1 Illuvials - for Levaithan owning all Illuvials, and in addition for both, the 'blind round' at the end of draft phase.
Could you please link to that interview I think I missed it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXVmGzjAv-E - I think it's that one but I could be wrong.

If it isn't you should be able to find it in the pinned post in #🎨〕community-content
Nice cant wait to team up with my friends to capture some big 🦴 creatures
We will probably not have 9. But there are ways to get extra stacks of a synergy beyond placement. 😉
An additional item? 🧐
Golden spoon? 😆
Gear, items maybe
The community has been told about the three systems to do this! So you can definitely puzzle it out. Some were stated outright and some have just been mentioned via name and not purpose
If you can work it out. I'll post a complex T2 synergy
As a prize
Wellp all we have to do is find out the last one:
Quote from Aaron on 22Oktober:
Water gets countered by two affinities and counters two affinities.
Psion gets countered by two affinities and counters two affinities.
So you have to make a choice. Synergies give you rewards for building a cohesive team. Hyper gives you rewards for countering.
Lu’s there are enhancements, placements, and one other thing to consider.
All things easy to understand, hard to execute.
The one thing I think that makes this better than TFT already is 1 . you have to own the illuvials your fighting with 2 Your team is not "random" <-- this annoys me and I couldn't get into TFT for solely this reason 3. it feels more like a game of MTG you build your deck then play . Not a fan of your team can only be worth x points but nothing is perfect. This has more pros than cons so far
What are we trying to figure out?
The three systems of stacking synergies
What have we got confirmed so far?
"Enhancements, placements, and (gear)?"
Totally agree with the point of random vs owned. Feels great to build your deck
I find very good how its suposed to work, this way you can plan buying strategies for illuvials you need
Or trade them, etc...
Interesting, will illuvials' stats always be changeable, in case of some huge dis-balances found, or there will be a period of balancing, after which they will stay the same forever?🤔
Aah makes more sense😆👍
A 9vs9 battle in that field with hitbox collision would be something else, most likely not very pretty🤭
If you don’t like the point restriction play leviathan. Ranked is meant to be fair. Without the points the point restriction it becomes totally pay to win.
Enhancements placements and gear!!! Just brainlessly echoing my thoughts lol
Thanks you for your reply . I hope you do not mind or are offended by me stated an opposing opinion regarding the term P2W
I probably will play both ranked and Leviathan. I hope you did not get the impression I dismissed rank because of it I would prefer a point system over random, like TFT .
I don't personally like the term P2W probably because I played paper MTG for so long and have herd it all.
The reason for my distain for the term this is It invalidates the value of creating a collections and it renders any argument down to traditional board game status such as
chess or go as does "supposed to be fair" comment . I just don't want ranked to become nothing more than "chess" with illuvals and better graphics.
the fact that you have to own the illuvials i comforting / the fact that there is stat disparity between iluvails of the same name is comforting aswell
The term also seems to disregard a design plan that made it the longest running fantasy card game in history and preserved card value in which decks/ cards on the secondary market are still worth a great deal as a viable business strategy.
I give the team great accolades for actually having the foresight to make 2 arenas to accommodate both sides and trying to find a middle ground as you did with blending the game as FTP and P2P. This will ensure **"fairness" ** in the way that **everyone who plays financially supports the game in some way if they want to progress past F2P. ** unlike the majority of games in the FTP genre where the majority literally pay zero and the game is carried by those who do.
I would add a counterpoint slightly as whilst MTG is one of my key inspirations behind some of the design, there is a limit to how far we can take learnings/lessons from MTG.
To give an example - our top end pricepoint gameplay is very different.
An original Black Lotus is pretty much the highest value card IIRC. And in mint condition you could be paying low 6figures USD for one. That's a card almost 30 years old and the next most expensive are many times less expensive. 5x less for the next. Whereas we are in an entirely different ball park. Our best Illuvials are going to be so rare that they might not ever even exist, (a perfect Rhamphyre for example) at which point I don't know where the price might settle. But the result will be one-off uniques powerwise existing and people potentially being able to make utterly unique decks that likely can't be beaten. If some Billionaire comes in and buys every every perfect Illuvial that arrives on the market. At which point if we are to do that then we need to have a fair mode that allows normal people to play competitively.
DingDingDing! Winner
TY you have made some good points and shown further show why having 2 arenas was a credit to the design teams foresight.
Hi, what do you mean by " might not even ever exist". Are the Illuvials kind of randomized
Their stats are.
So whilst there will be Rhampyres, a perfect one might never be captured.
ohh ok , that s nice actually
i agree stat disparity between 2 of the same illuvials is a good move
i guess there will always be a meta until people come up with something to counter them
Can't stop meta's. But with Hyper and countering system. Just netdecking (looking up the strongest deck and playing it) will be weaker in Illuvium than perhaps any other strategy PvP game
We want players to innovate
Correct
So in this case -> total number of air Illuvials increases dodge count. So 8 airs = 40% dodge.
Fire Illuvials increase the damage of the Bolt -> 25* the number of fire Illuvials.
damn i need to plan my holiday for 2022 accordingly
Aim is for a lowish skill floor (anyone can play it, just place things to the board, you don't need 360 noscopes ect) So it's a game accessible to all levels of ability, you won't be at a disadvantage with a physical disability ect.
And an unlimited skill ceiling (nobody can play it perfectly always)
Occasionally I think I might know what I'm doing! 😛
So you're saying the Doc can get wrecked 😅. No 360 no scopes
https://c.tenor.com/FtraHerC6ywAAAAM/dr-d-dr-disrespect.gif
If you know what a Black Lotus is I feel im in the same generation as you
seems an autohotkey script that places your desired illuvials last second would be really good?
Won't help. Won't change the total deliberation time. Aaron was speaking simply above and didn't go full depth on it.
Oh man 10 Rings weapon concept from the latest Marvel Movie should find it's way into Illuvium! Really cool concept!
Marvel concept mixed with Illuvium could be fun
I'm a bit confused. Is the Illuvial count in this case the opponent's count or the player's count?
Players
Thanks! 
At first I thought the auto battler wouldn't be that much tactic and more level related only, but this really seems to be a very, very tactical aspect of the game. Really love that, great work you guys! 
gotta work for that $ 😄 It doesn't come easy
Ohh yes, money never comes easy 😜
It needs to be deep, i want people playing for thousands of hours and still having fun, learning and progressing.
That's how we make sure we have a game that will last
Yea totally agree, I have the most fun as a player if I'm never done improving and there's always something new to learn and experience
I do wonder though.. Would there be an opportunity for AIs to "break" the auto battler and take advantage of regular players? If so: what counter measures are you taking to prevent/minimize this possible exploit?
It has to be...if they want to have the biggest esport tournament in the world, the gameplay needs to match and surpass other big esports
As well as having a rich ranked experience and something competitive players can spend endless hours grinding on
So cool seeing more and more info of the autobattler and synergies, thanks Ben for being so passionate also, you can tell you want the game to be great!
Will there be or is there some type of guide for the autobattler ?
Someone needs to tag that guy who was dissing auto battlers without even trying one. He needs to read all of this to be enlightened
I have so much to learn and really needs a wiki for illuvium to keep up!!
Pin pls
I think Mozart is an illuvial?
No, a helpful drone!
For sure sone content creator will be making some
regarding the new synergy leak:
3) 3 energy regen
6) 7 energy regen
9) 12 energy regen
What are 3, 6, and 9? The number of illuvials of the same water affinity?
Seems to be the number of affinities. So aside from the illuvial affinity you got equipment enhancement and bonding
that would be funny! typically in RPG games, you are given a companion/guide that aids you on your quest. If Mozart was the very thing you were trying to catch, that would break the story! and also be the greatest game dev troll of all time!
Yeah - but 1 Illuvial can have multiple water affinities.
so is this just an affinity level/ranking?
Yeah so if you have 3 water affinities your board/that affinity would get the benefit (i.e. 3 energy regen)
ok perfect thats what I wanted to know!
It's similar to traits in other battle board games like TFT or DotA Overlords.
Am I the only one who can't wait to be able to read all effects/stats from the illuvials and start theorycrafting? The last leak post made me so curious about the whole autobattler design
@granite musk #💥〕leaks-discussion message
Ben covered it for the most part. Only thing I will add is our game has cosmetics. MTG does not. So it isn’t just card buyers subsidising the game. It’s people who want the bunny ears suit or an atlas bladed shield.
If we don’t use a more traditional method of allowing free to play to coexist we will not get the same revenue.
Yes I did appreciate Ben's answer and understand and appreciate this response .I just wanted to throw my opinion out there for consideration as well. Thanks you for taking the time its appreciated
"bunny ears suit" you say?
as for cosmetics "beach wear" ( bikini) as a armor replacer would probably out sell the bunny ears ....😆
Magic: The Gathering Arena actually has cosmetics like Avatars, Deck Sleeves, Pets etc 🙂
You had to be coy with the term. Let's call a spade a spade. Slap on some bikinis on to Arlen and Illuvium is basically printing its own money hahahaha
Lets just hope they wont have actual use other than cosmetics. Would be silly to have bikini wear that is more functional in battle than actual space armour
I mean lets keep it realistic and say ypu have more evasion. So it cóúld br useful than hard armour. But dont claim it has actual defensive properties.
That is opening a can of worms disscussion...... personally I don't like the how can x protect as much as full plate discussion as much as the p2w topic. If you feel better having your avatar look like a tank then so be it lol have 2 version of the same armor then facepalm*
Having my avatar wear a bikini in the wilderniss fine, but in battle i would find it better to have it wear something that actually is functional. So having the bikini give insane combat related skills would be silly in my opinion.
Shows what I know. 😛
i wasn't going to say anything but paper also has a lot of cosmetics....
There has been zero internal discussion on bikinis.
well ithink its time to change that 😆 noo really it would make huge money
Ah yes, the Illuvials with bikinis, my dream
Yers well there definitely is a sub set of gamers out there that think everything has to be realistic in that topic . I am not one of them.
"until today"
this is my "standard" outfit in FF14 I could solo most things I wanted to have even "tanked" in parties. in it and was better than people who looked like tanks because of my stats. If you are thinking about "profit" you have to think of what would sell not what is "realistic" . As i said a compromise would be to have 2 sets with the same stats so each group could wear their preference is a smart move. **To deny one side or the others preference do to "personal opinion" on the subject. All that does is just cost the game potential revenue **
Well, the concept may be good. But the film was crap.
More leaks please 🥺
https://c.tenor.com/LfxdLblPZiYAAAAM/hungry-please-sir-may-i-have-some-more.gif
thee you go 😄
I need my dose!!!!
Lmao kira can go fuck himself.
If he were talking about me it would be super true. Big dreams, low skills yep
I think Mozart is a state of mind
This on the ilv video he made?
Wow
when does closed beta starts? Cant wait to get more leaks 🤤
Supposedly Dec for CB phase 1 and january for CB phase 2
bigdaddy notail !
I dont think he was being disrespectful. He seemed to be using the success of the illuvium trailer to highlight the sentiment of the broader community, and TBH, I cant say his assessment is totally wrong. Here in South Korea, I have several friends in the E-sports gaming space (players, commentators, designers, investors, incubators, etc), and they all -politely- say the same thing.. The trailer/leaks/teasers are beatiful and great for hype, but have nothing to do with gameplay. There's a lot of money in this project (as evident by the trialer quality), but we dont have a game yet! Like the other 200k here, I hope the game is as good as it looks, but hope isnt a product!
I'll reply to you in general to not clog this channel up
anyone interested : #💬〕general message )
Gameplay was in there actually, so there's this open world which I'm linking below. And in the battles when you saw the camera flying around the board with Illuvials fighting, that's a feature for the game where you can do the same thing, so they just flew around the actual battles happening in the game engine. The only thing you didn't see was the UI. Hope that clears up what you saw in the trailer.
What Kira failed to do was research, he took the trailer at face value and didn't dig deeper. Had he spent a few hours understanding the whole project he'd have a different view of it.
I believe that is not what kira means. He said the trailer shows the future of how the game will be. But there is no actual evidence that the game development itself has reached that state.
That's what I mean, there is in fact evidence. He just didn't spend any time to find it.
Is there? Any link?
Yep gimmi a minute, on phone and have toddlers 😅
If the game has reached that state, why wouldn't the dev just play and record the gameplay and post it in their youtube channel? This will prove everything is real without much hassle.
And kiraTV might change his mind
Here is the board battle early alpha and the second post is the open world running flying around.
The devs goal is not to convince you or other sceptics, that's a waste of their efforts. Their goal is a to make a great damn game and they leak as they see fit to excite us for what's coming. No other game does that.
I wouldn't call it waste of effort or time, it could invite more people into the project and especially for someone like kiraTV. That's basically a free marketing. Recording gameplay and explain a little bit of the feature doesn't require that much effort.
Yeah sorry poor choice of words, but do know they've stated that leaks to come will be more in engine gameplay. This is from interviews on my channel and others with the co-founders of Illuvium. I totally understand your position to be critical as the crypto space is a mine Field. But Illuvium is a diamond in the rough and you're early
Getting kiraTV on our side is a good idea, especially if he wanted to do an interview with the co-founder. His influence is quite massive.
At the end of the day it doesn't matter who believes or doesn't, you can't stop the rising sun. Everyone will see the dawn soon enough 🙂
Once the game is live, it's live ya know?
Yea, but we have to make sure it is battle tested and has little to no bug before release tho.
We do or the 150+ devs currently building the game do?
More tester is better IMHO, as people can give feedback to the devs
There is closed beta coming soon btw
Yea, december right?
Yep
Its near, hope i get to test too
Same 😅
Hi good morning guys!
What is worst than a monday?
A Monday without leaks.....
Pretty sure you will be accepted to test
Ya never know, but I hope this talk helped ya! As someone who has spent 100+ hours in this community I can say there is a answer to any question you have so it's a matter of digging it up yourself or asking for help. It's all there for ya
Council members must be selected for the beta
Contents providers must be selected for the beta, so they can share it to the community.
But also common players to give feedback
Yea, games usually invites all content creator to the beta
It's a free marketing after all
I haven't watched his vids, but reading here I've got an opinion that criticizing games, including crypto, is what he does, so i suppose it would be inconsistent from him to become a supporter of a game. So may be it is just not worth it to try to turn him?
Not sure about that. From what he said, he truly want to see a good crypto, nft, metaverse game. He wasn't particularly saying ilv is a scam, he just want more gameplay evidence so that he can review it.
Ah, if that is his point, then yeah, may be it is worth it.
He said abit about axie infinity which has real product, but the gameplay and graphics are 15 years behind our current gaming industry (according to him)
Axie Infinity has 15 year old graphics? This amuses me. Does anybody remember the Crysis games? Specifically Crysis 1 from 2007? Is there even a comparison between them? Axie looks like something you would play from a Floppy Disk...
Technically that's 14 years ago 
hahahah don't be like that come on now :)))
both RT7 and I take the discussion to #💬〕general as to not clog character leaks channel with stuff about Kira and other stuff - channel gets clogged about stuff with Kira and other stuff anyway ......😫
@rigid cypress care to weigh in with the tie breaker opinion ? (or tag the correct person) #💥〕leaks-discussion message
Not really! I personally find bikini clad women fighting a bit trite and done to death. I'm significantly less interested in playing games where that features heavily in their marketing.
ok so that is your personal opinion and that is fine there are people who feel the same way as discussed earlier.
What about the as the game dev? Does that personal preference influence and outweigh enhancing other players experiences and the profit from the
revenue stream it generates ? Do the people who do enjoy it not deserve the option ?
Having a bikini skin for main characters might not be too bad. As long as it match the overall design of the game.
Scifi bikini is acceptable imo.
Pinky beach bikini might not match the design.
Again better for who ? better for the people who disapprove ? Who does not giving the option to improve someone enjoyment / happiness benefit?
i will say that sounds a bit better than your original response and something i can agree with in principle if the end outcome is the same.
your right my appoligies
I mean they are having bikinis discussion, so i just threw it here
Really need some leaks to keep on breathing.
Oh wow. Didn't know the bikini topic went to a full blown discussion hahaha. My bad. I was just riding along the (what I thought was) running gag of Aaron.
My dose isnt ready yet? ☹️
Also checking hourly if there are any news, has been a hard time lately 😉
LoL I was ready to write the same thing
I mean 2 full days without a leak is unacceptable!
And yet… you have to accept it. 😛
We are working on getting some more gameplay of the overworld done. We can show something now but I want to wait until we get one more thing in.
Alllrightttyyyyy that sounds so good...
Overworld done? Does that mean cbt1 can include openworld test?
Yusssssssssss

Patience young Padawans we shall soon bask in the goodness that is ILV leaks. I just want a green lightsaber for a sword.
This is worth waiting 
We have a nature sword.
Any plan for natural weapons/ chemical weapons? From the frequent vegetation leaks, I assume most of these help nurse illuvials. Any chance of poisonous vegetation that can be weaponized?
hashtag 420 sword
And an air sword... That camouflages perfectly with everything.
This will be enough to keep me alive for one week haha 🙂
Is it gonna be a few minutes of footage or a rather small clip ?
Star nosed mole ult is one of my favorite animations yet.
And the stage 1 is rivaling Atlas for how cute it is,
"Hey look it's a flower" slap to the face 🤣 feels bad man
Love the animation and creativity
Dunno about that one fam, looks like something out of a resident evil movie
That nose is freaky
Thanks for the updates about hiring Grant, really fills me with lots of confidence and many other people when little things like that get shared behind the scenes 🙂
that mole is amazing
To have people shut up about "it's not gameplay" ideally we need a clip that show : character selection/setup + running in there and all the process to reach the auto-battler + catching an illuvial. With that all negative comment should/would/could stop ....
This conversation ended yesterday in the #💬〕general channel.
Leaks!! 
We love leaks
Good dose! 
amazing work, the overworld will be wonderful and full of unique plants! Thank you for sharing so much with us so many project are not doing it because it's a lot of additional work or they are not even close where people think they are. This builds so much trust in you! Thank you!
Let's add this guy too. Grant I tagged him some time ago, donno if you contacted him, so I'll send it here with @azure holly ‘s suggestions
https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominik-dziubalski-180569a5/
He's a VFX artist
@azure holly you are a true researcher 😄 I just found one haha
Noble: What are people's thoughts on @old sierra latest post on #🚰〕leaks ?
Closed beta spot definitely, been itching to playtest the games
What about a Christmas-themed Illuvium competition?
With Christmas Atlas promo NFT - I can just see it now, serene beauty.
Well if Illuvium are looking for another community-oriented member to onboard with the current team why not have someone within the team to run this event?
Christmas Atlas NFT... (you're correct on the motive point)
just saw this message, haha we of the same wavelength
https://twitter.com/warrickwong
I can link you one artist who is just getting into NFT and could be a great addition to Illuvium (added bonus from Sydney, the home base of Warwick Bros)
NFT ➡️ http://foundation.app/warrickwong Creator of ZODIAC & PRINCESS NYISSA http://warrickwong.com/store ➡️ Prints 👾 Patreon http://patreon.com/warrickwong

A day in the life of Grant. Shadow him for a day during a dev phase for the Leviathan arena?
Or maybe do one for all 3 brothers! That would be sick.
Keeping things simple are probably the best way to go about it.
Maybe some silv, closed beta access with some merch etc. Or a simple finders fee in $$$
Crypto incentives first, though to be fair you would need to also figure out:
- the art style you want
- availability
- past work
- consistently creating awesome work
Hence there's an creative industry which acts like a middle-management with a network of artists which organise the job for you (for me personally, anime-influenced art)
Creatives is not an easy find (try finding a great cel-shading artist)
All I've got is monetary incentives, or like a performance based incentives (paid if they hire an artist you've personally scouted)
Lambo? I guess from $100k to some millions
Purple Illuvium Lambo with associated NFT.
"Do I need a Lambo as a car or NFT....hmmmm, I'm fine with NFT I guess" 😄
Haha sell the RL Lambo to a whale and keep the NFT for metaverse use.
Ooooo, maybe get to work with the team for Gen 2 to create and name your own Illuvial (including fusions).
I want to drive a purple lambo in the game, searching for Illuvials 
👀
Are you looking for other talent? Like soft engineers?

Thanks for all your input.
If you are open to assist in finding talent in exchange for $$$please react with 1
If you don't like the idea then please react with 2
anyone puts 2 will get banned 😄 jk
An artist I have been working with:

I will create guidelines and references first so you aren't wasting time
A lot more efficient too for you guys to sift through
nice little dodo
@old sierra was wondering if I could DM you about a project some of us here are working on for the illuvium community. The DM revolves around getting consent on the work as it involves a lot of the teams work.
Yey! So much leaks when i got back home today woop woop.
The move clip with the three turtles and "deers", that one is interesting i think ive seen it before to.
What makes that one extra interesting is the fact that the low tier version seems to do his ability faster, even tho the start of the cast is at the same time. This awakens my curiousity if that means tier 0 (if thats what it is) use more abilities/minute cause of this.
Or if the theory and cooldown details is the same and its just the animation that makes it look different
so for ex if there are illuviums that have team buffs, then maybe a low tier buffer is better then high tier for some lineups/synergies, if you have a carry or something that just need that extra little push, and need that push from the buffer before the opponents get their abilities.
secret squirrel level is going to be amazing
@old sierra
I talked to this person Wayne S as I like what they did with the league if legends map turning it into unreal engine style.
Let me know what you think. He said he is interested.
https://www.artstation.com/ambiguousinteractive
I can also DM you his email if you would like it
That lil bird is lovely.
Very nice 👀
@old sierra Has the idea of holding community (or open) competitions for character designs been discussing. Perhaps top entries original entries could become NFTs and the artists given first character of that type?
When people know they are competing then the creativity and originality seems to jump up a few levels.
This. As a Project Manager and finance guy by trade I’d love to help in some way, shape, or form… even if my design chops are limited to photoshop 😬
We will do comps like this after a successful release :)
Thanks for your continued input, already some potential leads popping up
Not sure if it's been done, but have the social media channels for the project been leveraged to give a bit of extra exposure?
Like a simple tweet of , 'Do you know an artist who is bla bla bla, tag them in the comments' concluded with a 'Finders fee Provided '.
I think on Twitter & Instagram, there will be lots of people who would happen to see the post, and some of them may be artists/know of artists. Likely to pop up with a few leads
Yeah, a lot easier for peoplw to share the link there
A link could be provided that takes people to a fill-out form and then has Grant's criteria there as well, so artists who match it only apply
Would make this process a lot more organised & professional
*omega
Not a dodo
We are looking for a project manager.
Thanks for the heads up! I’m not quite to the 10 year mark on PM experience, but the moment your senior looks to build out the team I’ll be first in line!
Aaron is one of the founders bro 😆
They are hiring a senior PM… for which I’m unfortunately not quite qualified… yet. But i do really appreciate @granite musk for taking the time to reach out. Apologies if that was at all unclear
Founders can still have people senior to them.
Lol. I ask people all the time what they want me to do.
All good.
@granite musk where would I search to try and find a AAA blockchain MOBA before it comes to mainstream twitter and such?
Where do you game dev teams hide pre/during initial seed.
It's all about who you know is my guess.
Shit same here - PM in US for the last 7 years doing DoD projects. Much rather work on this project than work for the government lol
For a triple A blockchain moba i'd search up the team behind the Fresno Nightwalker. Rumour has it their game director would be pretty keen on making on in the next 5 years.
Are you sure about that? I imagine if you work for the govt the pressure to go hard is not super high?
The Illuvium team has a really high tolerance for work load. If you saw the amount getting done behind the scenes. You'd have to be willing to be thinking about the game upwards of 16 hours a day. It's not easy.
That being said you could be an absolute beast so I shouldn't presume.
Fresno Nightwalker, the next AAA horror Slenderman type survival video game for Illuvium
I do hope the Fresno Nightwalker makes it into the game. I wonder what it’s attack move would be.
It should be a legendary
Spinning Kick
Terrorbird? More like Cutebird! Wonder what stage 3 would be like... something like ->
?
You'll see when you see. It's awesome.
I will keep a close eye on that team.
That's definitely a baby griffin
Confidently Incorrect.
We’ll get there, man!
Baby Kukka? Of the fried kukka emote
Nope
It says Terrorbird stage 1 in the link
My idea for recruiting Staff: What about partnering with a university or school (or more then one), whatever the different countries use to teach designer/programmer/developer. Maybe give them a donation for a professorship or something like that. Maybe in some countries with lesser income even more is possible (imagine an Building sponsored by Illuvium... could be real good promotion in the news and following that other people might apply). You wont get the best of the best right now but maybe the best of the best in the future and for the future. Additionally if they work on something maybe as a project outsourced you get the professor as well. From the later years maybe you even could entice someone to come to Illuvium directly.
I do agree if I was representing the government. Contractor side is always a race with multiple projects going at once.
Your team has something special going that not a lot of businesses can offer “Purpose”. Purpose drives desire to work/build something. It’s not easy, but I’m sure it’s worth It.
Proud to be here and happy to help anyway that I can 🙏🏼
My wife loves to joke about my man crush on lebeouf
This comment might get lost here. You may want to share in #863267087715270686
You know how that scene ended right? 😅
welp that was awkward. . .hahaha
All good lol, I got the idea though lol 😆
You know sh*t is getting done in the background when you dont get to hear from any of the 3 brothers as much as before.
has there been a similar precedent? (I am fairly new to the channel)
Theyre usually active in discord. Sometimes impromptu amas and all that.
Is that the tournament arena where I will win all my ETH?

I've been in here as much as I can. 😛
No this is a solo arena for PVE play. It will have a leader board that will earn yield though
Top 10? Or only 1st earns yield?
Sweet!
Can't wait to test survival mode
Not confirmed entirely, but it'll be a long event. People will compete on that days survival mode to see who lasts the longest. And then we'll also collate peoples daily scores into a Seasonal score. Where they can get prizes and cosmetic rewards.
So there might be a mix of daily rewards and bigger seasonal ones
Don't worry Aaron, we know you're busy! We still appreciate the quick pop in and few updates you drop
Survival mode will be a living tournament!
That sounds awesome! Didn't know there'd be PvE rewards so that's pretty exciting 
Nice one
Best of all it's going to be super accessible to new players, you only need a few NFT's to play it as the rest are provided as upgrades inside the mode as you play each day.
Think TFT, meets Slay the Spire, meets Towerdefence-y stuff.
few nft? Like all stage 1?
No, you can bring any stage or tier in. But due to the nature of the mode -> just brining a T5S3 in is often not that helpful.
It's just fewer in amount, ranked we're designing around 30nft's. Here you only need to be 5-8 in
(it's still under testing so take all these with an armload of salt)
That is nice
You don't have to answer, i will just ask it. How mamy quota for CBT1?
Top 'whatever you guys badger me into doing'
I'd say
Daily = Top 10
Seasonal = Top 100
Is this too competitive?
Is there weekly or monthly?
interested and hyped at the same time!! so uh is the robot pronounced "GA-U-DI"? or "GAW-DI"?
or "GO-DI"
or "GYU-DI"
now i can say that thats a leviathan carcass! damn
so cute 😍
just wow! The new Illuvial looks out of this world.
amazing work
@hearty fiber
@kindred yew
@supple willow
@bold whale
@fickle forge
@verbal urchin
juicy leaks 🙂
Survival has been spoiled before. The arena for it is great!
I think its Gaudi as the architect. Love the references btw
So the same ILV but different according to the biome
Illuvial*
I feel like a kid whenever we get a leak, it's like when a new pokemon gen comes and we found out about new pokes
Amphile☝️
Have there been any leaks of Illuvials looking like a bull/ox of some kind? I would really love myself a beasty ox in my team (got my nickname for “looking” like an ox)
Thanks man! That’s it!! That will definitely be on my radar
Personally I haven't chosen my favorite yet, so many cool creatures! And we haven't seen most of them yet.
Did we have plans for a book series?
No.
The way a lot of the descriptions have been written, made it sound like it was on the cards
But yeah that's the better way, since the strengths of this project lies a lot in its visuals, as well as the fact a series/movie will perform a LOT better than a book
I personally was writing books. And I used some of that to make this story. That’s what you are remembering.
how do we get acess to the BETA?
How many illuvials so far
There will be around 150 in the genesis season
But that’s different designs. There’s more if you count the larger versions of the 25 basic tier zero illuvials.
!beta check the last post in #795444126421483520
Closed beta testing will begin before the end of 2021. Illuvium will have 2 closed beta testing stages. The first stage will be for team members and professional game testers, and will not be open to the public. The second stage will have limited slots for public members. When the second stage is taking applications, a message will be posted in 📣│announcements detailing the application process. Check 🤖beta-tester-request for more information.
Yes

There’s actual 3d versions in #🚰〕leaks as well
Really?
No just an idea
Any monkey related illuvias ?
Oh yes. Well technically they are Apes and not monkeys but They are styled after the three Warwick founders.
#🚰〕leaks message here’s the first leaks of those
Wow 🔥🔥
Is there any full list of Illuvials released to date?
Not sure if someone compiled it but you can shift through it all in #🚰〕leaks
Thanks
If you do make a list. Share it to me please! Its something we can definitely use for future reference
that'll be a good content 
Exactly! Gonna be hard to fit all of them but good to have a reference card for all known illuvials
We will get those data in cbt
Could you imagine if one of these flowers were connected to the latest Illuvial leak 😆?
I have 😁 majority but not complete.
I'm so stupied, how could I forget this one. I know I've seen it LOL. I will get him and he will stay forever.
What if we could extract nectar and craft honey and use it as a lure towards Illuvials?

Please tell me this is a chocolate biome

We can help fill it up
Ayus!
Actually insanely cool to think about
I think it’s a gumbo dandy after it’s been harvested. #💥〕leaks-discussion message
Where on discord can I find information about Illuvium map ?
You need to watch it again cause its hella creepy for a kids movie
How realistic do you think is the closed beta at the end if the year?
Perhaps with the november team report we can have a better idea
They will have devlog next week. Hope they talk smtg about cbt1
I think closed beta is for Jan
Cbt1 should be this year in the timeline
🚫 hybrid, you can't use that.
Nothing yet. Will he released with the land sale.
Next character leak? 🐃🐂💨🔥
Whas the sofware you use to create this pannel + interface ?
crash
Is there a way to find information efficiently in this channel ?
Like if i'm looking for a specific information about crash ?
Nah, I use paint 😅 I dont even know what crash is...
Leviathen Arena where the Crash occur ILV
