:)

Greetings
milluk
no
I mean you don’t have to 
or what
i will cry loudly on you
when is the game coming outttt


drink milk
Pre alpha is within a couple months
cap
i wish i get in
so does everyone else :)
i know
I'd prefer my friends getting in over me ☺️
I wonder if you can give someone else your key if you aren't available during the prealpha?
you can probably refuse the key and then they may give it to someone else, but I doubt you will be able to pick who (although who knows?)
depending on how legal/official the NDA is, you probably are not allowed to simply give away the key yourself
Ah, that would make sense
theyll probably do a time-based response just to see how active people are and if you dont use yours they might send out like a second wave till they get all the poeple they need
How do ya know?
I don’t I guess. That’s just what the devs say
I feel like 2 weeks later or beyond makes sense. Like until after the villager votes are over
True
Ideally it's a matter of patience. Video game development is a lengthy process.
Morning all! Is it just me or did we not get a new #📮│public-polls yet?
Not yet
Ah thank you, i thought it would be mondays since the npc is revealed then 🙂
it starts one da
I shall keep checking in then 🙂
hello hello!
Hello!
Hello kings and queens
Heyo
Hi powerful :O

How soon 😍

Oh I mean we have emotes named after Chapaas and Chuus
which are both names for the same thing
You know the way ☺️
Yes. And it makes me think of shoes which is always a good thing 💕
Haha, there you go. Even better then 😋
I can't pick a side..
reject chuu/chapaa binary, there is only einar
I love Einar. He is my imaginary friend. And a Swedish name btw.
we love our local pebble fanatic
I am in a Chuu server so I have to be biased ☺️
this server is a chuu server
But seriously do we know anything about the pre-alpha? A week? A month?
i think i heard someone mention a couple months but idk if thats accurate
No new info that I'm aware of. Sorry friend 🥺
😭😭😭
I am sorry😭
So is this where the magic happens when we get in or are there some kind of pre-alpha server? It’s so hard to keep up here with so many ppl writing
I believe it'll be a tag you get. So then you'll be able to see the tester text/voice channels
Aight
Well back to the grind
Have fun!
Business lingo translation for 'soon' very much means - the individuals pieces needed for pre alpha are almost complete but there is no hard date they're aiming to have it done by. In gaming, typically that means months not weeks but we don't know when they brought us into the loop with their trailer.
Soon - Definition: Sometime between now and the eventual heat death of the universe.
Accurate!
Funny
The sun disappeared over night here. Thunder and lightning ⚡️ woke me up 😟
Windows shaking and the cats… didn’t like it.
could use some rain here, I think we might be in for a drought. Our mountains had no snow this winter, and it got super hot really early.
Isnt it safe to estimate that we still have to wait a minimum of two weeks because of the unrevealed villagers they still have to announce? Not to forget to mention the mystery villager they would reveal last time if we had hit 8000 votes....
Absolutely a sensible assumption. There is also no guarantee a pre-alpha would even contain those assets yet.
They could v. much just be concept art for now
I’m the mystery villager. The secret is out 😁
wow how does it feel to be an 8000 vote reward
It's somewhat sad to read we didn't even reach the 8k goal
we didnt, but they did say theyd reward us for our valiant effort
when you apply it says youll hear in a few weeks, and the other day dev said definitley less than three months
Someone said that? 😮
Fool of a fish!
a clownfish
Throw yourself in next time!
I'd just applied for the pre-alpha, I wonder if there's a limit to how many players can participate
1400
whoa
woah a clownfish
Mmhm. It is 1400. 🥺
fingers crossed
Might want to cross a few toes too
It's no surprise that you didn't know that though.
I recently have a lot of free time so definitely hope I get picked
yeah I just found out about the game today
And you're clueless
and having no mmo background
i wanna play cause palia feels like therapy
just found out theres a 2 hr cool down in the ask channel lmao good
What was last estimated application count , over 100k ?
Palia may be therapy, but if it wasn't for the wait I wouldn't need therapy...
we've got like a 1% chance of being picked
it's not
taking their survey does give you a better chance right?
trust me, gachas are worse. i forcefully cut myself off from them the other day
They said so.
they didn't specify by how much
theres like 70-80k people in the server, and i know at least one person who applied multiple times with different emails. also there are people outside the server so yeah probably close to or over 100k assuming everyone in here applied at least once
its no use fretting over it
that feels like cheating
at least some have pity systems lol
speaking of i gotta do my genshin dailies
at least with palia we'll eventually get the game anyway, even if we're not selected for prealpha
gacha is just suffering
I stopped playing it about a year ago
too much investment in farming
but the png
looks so shiny
the only gacha im thinking about still playing is gbf
gbf isn't my thing
I know a few people who plays it
its a lot more forgiving for having a pity system
Please remember these are rough estimates and not hard deadlines they are required to meet.
This is likely a key part as to why they stopped answering questions so actively.
i can imagine it would get stressful if everything you said was taken as law
Plus if they are actually looking thru all those apps & not just doing a random drawing that alone is a task
yeah, better to keep everything hush and keep the hype train down
True ^1
Hello everyone)
Not on launch. They said mobile is a high priority though
Hello ☺️
Hii
Hey Rin😄
👋
How are you doing today
Hiya!! Nomi
🤝
Good day to you 
where did the kitsuu come from
i have to check the art channel now or see if they're default discord emotes

oh sorry i just looked at my phone
im feeling a bit dizzy, but other than that, im alright
oh hi nomi
I feel like he's always been there
yeah i was just lying down for a bit but im still feeling a bit dizzy
looking at my phone probably isnt helping
Good morning everyone. I just woke up from a very phat nap.
I don't even know if I can call it a nap anymore cause I have been asleep for like 5 hours
the reverse image searches that my phone will let me use didn't find results for the kitsuu BUT they thought they look like momo from avatar so that's nice :3
would't call that a nap, but phat nap checks out
Ya that's a short sleep or a long nap
Witches are spooky 🥺
these witches arent spooky
Haha yeah there's at least 4
You aren't a goat 😰
Nya?
just think of kiki, sabrina, schierke, glinda, hermione or willow :3
my spells are vegan 💪
harry potter witches being just the female equivalent of wizards is dumb and bad
there should be male and female witches and wizards
witches: make potions and cool stuff to put around your house
wizards: cast funny light spells
my mum was watching a children's show about witches the other day and they had an episode where the young kids questioned the binary of witches and wizards and rebelled and changed ancient traditions uwu
These witches are Pals of mine they all share happy smiles
That's a great plot I'm into it
isnt it so great how hatsune miku, creator of minecraft, wrote harry potter?
Fantastic, I'm so glad the author, Hatsune Miku, is a great person with no bad qualities

Good morning Paliens.
guten morgen
hi! :)
That sounds awfully close to aliens
oh no... are humans in the palia universe aliens?
We're all aliens somewhere.
Good day for a Bahari Bay visit
guys what does chapaa and chuu mean?
I know the plot is that humanity vanished a long time ago but I wonder if there'll be other races we can create characters for in the future
Oh, Chapaa is the official name for one of the animals and Chuu is the fandom name for it
people like to pledge their allegiance one way or another
I wanna make a Grimalkin
I think I saw it mentioned that we will be able to choose other races in the future
oh okay, thank you :3
:O
chapaa or nothin
Might be in the faq not sure
golem gang
golems would be rad too
i just want something that looks distinctly non-human
wait, izzat envy?

cant wait for palia to be the next ffxiv with a billion expansions
cant wait for la hee
do you know la hee?
i will play la hee
MUSIC START!
otomatone noises
lahee wewowewowuwowu
So why are we visiting Bahari today?
cuz its chuusday innit
good day and bahari bay rhyme and that makes me happy
Joining the crab rave
slow blink
🦀
so what yall excited about the most in palia?
whatever the equivalent of lahee is
do you know la hee?
and also zeki content bc im a terrible terrible furry
i wouldve never guessed tbh 
yeah im hiding it so well
real talk, housing and crafting for me
its very hard to see 
Honestly I can't point to any one thing and say that's it! that's what im looking forward to!
like, the whole game seems like therapy
a gentle sort of game is appreciated in the middle of all these dark gritty action games (or whatever else yoko taro is doing)
Yeah this, I can't wait to just chill out and craft with everyone
yoko taro could make me cry at a 4 panel comic probably
i am terrified of him
Yeah I wanna just hang out and vibe
idk, im probably talkinf out of my behind, but i would like the PvE content revolve around adventuring. where players explore and find places to settle to create neighborhoods
Community. hands down thats gonna be the biggest thing for me. How we interact, work together. What can we build/grow as a group not just in terms of houses and plants but socially.

imagine a communal garden
And doogers, lots and lots of doogers.
DOGGIES

wait i just realised smth i need to send in the questions channel
oh did the questions channel vanish
i think a neighborhood garden would be a better shout, like a neighborhood specializing in a certain crop or range of crops
i was gonna ask "are there dogs and can we pet them"
we can pet einar i hope
I think its a safe bet you can. I wouldn't worry about that 😉
i want reassurance on my dog petting capabilities
im stressin kae, IM STRESSIN I NEED THE CUDDLE WUDDLES
I NEED TO PET SOME FLOOFY DOGGIES
they just moved it above the palia chat
Man all these discord peeps and we can't get the 8k in #📮│public-polls ? Come on yall, unreleased content! Don't yall want it? XD
lurkers are real 👀
i posted it
Don't stress, you'll upset the dogs.
pff how could you have known pat pat
i couldve noticed if i had eyes

eye-nar
get out
:(

im just glad someone knows la hee
i will play la hee
we cant keep doing this

its so easy to get lost in la hee, especially when youre an opportunist like me
soken only makes good content
chuu and chappas are the same thing iirc, its the fan name vs the official name


is so cute who made this i love hrhrhehdbdncnjskzkakl
Is Kitsuu meant to be Japanese

i guess it would be written like this? きつう
idk, i read it like きっつ
Probably katakana as it's an animal
that would be Kittsu then
ik, its just how i read it in my head 
o
キツー
nya
ですにゃ
😿
nya indeed
what other things in palia can we japanify
imagining someone saying desunya irl is hurting me
チュ-
we shouldnt go overboard since they can only moderate english
apparently theres a small village in japan that has a unique dialect in which they end every sentence in nya
or we shouldnt do it at all but id be a hypocrite to say that
are they all cats? did we find the cat village?
we must investigate
i will find a catboy
gasp! nekomimi...
or theyre all just furries
catgirls in palia?!
well we have zeki who's a catboy so...
more anthro than what i mean 
cant wait until they reveal an nb character whose gender is listed as "Yes"
"yes" is like, whoever you are, I like you xD
i dont think astolfo is nb, just a feminine guy that people like meming the shit out of because ????


oh i thought this was about fgo im stupid
am i confusing my traps?
So, Palia huh... 😉
maybe cat ears as an item 🤷♀️
hhhmmmm
anthro > nekomimi
grimalkin hours
spiritfarer had good anthro design, palia is in the same boat i feel 
whats spiritfarer 👁️
if s6 reveals a buff grimalkin the server is going to get overrun by furries i feel like
Also maybe but possibly no because I already have depression thank you
the reason why i brought spiritfarer is cuz there are some anthro designs that i dont like 
he did already win the vote with astonishing results but that might have also been due to the internet loving cats
i feel like there will be war between cat lovers and doggo lovers
i thought that was just bc the community was collectively like "i want to see the least human design first"
Tamala was way closer to Zeki than the other two combined
rip to them
I wonder what's going to happen with whoever's last, there won't be a reason to vote
probably just revealed the next week anyway
And then they'll come in with a new batch of blanked out characters for us to vote on
At least, that's what I reckon they'll do. There can't only be six NPCs.
might be showcasing supporting characters?
No there's definitely more, we were potentially going to get an unrevealed one as well this week
right
we've seen a lot in official art, more than ten. and they said there were some we've never seen on the website etc that are ✨ secret ✨
i wonder if there'll be waifu/husbando/whats the gender neutral term for this polls
the character reveals are pretty similar to that imo xD
we can watch in real time as all the votes are distributed between a few guys and gals and mostly to one buff furry
ok you do have a point
but i meant after the reveals are done
ngl im more interested in if there'll be mounts and, more specifically, multi-seat mounts.
i just wanna abduct my afk friend and bring them to a place absolutely far off from any civilization
"Frendo" maybe?
SO-o
we're gonna re-enact the legendary skyrim intro sequence
Spouso maybe
i love the coop mounts in ffxiv
its so funny to fly around in a car together
Hey, you.
You're finally awake.
😭 💕 not necessarily the abduction part but maaan
oh god imagine if mounts would behave like cars in gta. you're going full ham towards a cliff, jump off and then the mount plus carriage crashes into a valley
but thats the first thing ill try.
im here to chill and try to off myself by jumping off a cliff
thats............ definitely a sentence you just said
if we got mount you can BET I'll ride that beast down a cliff to see what happens
i would not fault them if they put in invisible walls to stop people from doing precisely that
true
using a multi seat mount on my own, meeting a friend who's like "oh dangit, the supplies store is about to close but i need something tonight!!" and then being able to go "hop on, the mount is faster" 😭 💕
we love solidarity
"please i need to go to the crafting store"
"ok that makes 50 gold"
"WHAT"
I love this
its CUTE and WHOLESOME and i love both those adjectives
i hope the games has...idk whats called, an auto-walk towards the destination?
i remember playing an mmo once and i had to travel halfway across the globe because back then a major teleporting point wasnt unlocked. took me like an hour to get there.
they will have something "not as magick-y as portals" but similar. fast travel spots.
That type of mechanic usually feels like what you want in a grinding game (most efficient travel from location to location) I feel like a fast travel method of some sort would be good for this but i think an autowalk just takes away the actual "playing" of the game
autowalk just makes me tab out, forget i was playing, then tab back in ages later to find out i died
autowalk is pretty neat imo. like sometimes i just wanna slowly walk towards my destination without wanting to keep pressing a button.
ive been to accustomed to having to always have W and shift pressed at all times, so an auto walk features would serve no purpose to me personally
auto looting too
auto looting is pretty neat tbh
its alright as long as you dont have an infinite backpack
eventually, you'll have to take the essential loot you need and leave behind the junk or lower level stuff, instead of automatically clicking or press the loot all function or hovering over a body and looting it
I literally can’t wait for Palia. I’m struggling to enjoy any other game because I am anticipating this one so much which is my fault but like I am so excited
Good morning 🙂 the storm didnt blow us away last night 🙂
waiting for palia gang
i normally take everything with me. trash has two faiths:
the good one: I selll it
the bad one: i put it into my storage because i "might need it"
waiting for no email to enter palia alfa 
im the bad one
same. its worse when its an infinite storage
Me too
like whats the point of looting if youre just a sponge with an infinite hammerspace
I’m also the person that sells something that I didn’t know had a value and then regret it at a later date
then its 95% trash, 5% stuff like potions or shit i actually need
"hey maybe I need 592 grass later who knows?"
That sounds so much like me in FF14 everything full of junk but afraid to throw it away
in ff14 i still have the weakest potions possible in my storage and im like lvl 80
i just dont sell anything anymore cause im like WHAT IF ITS IMPORTANT
In bdo I threw away a very important quest item and it was so stressful and a long process to get it back
I have lv 5 items from my miner that I will never use
then i get a quest later involving an item i didnt want to throw away
except i forget that i had the item
so i go gather them normally anyway...
My poor mount is sway backed from all of the bags being full
The worst is when you get a quest item for a later quest you haven’t gotten to yet and you don’t realize how important it is so you chunk it and then get to the quest later to realize you needed it to continue and have fo restart the whole quest chain over
I did that once I rage quit for a week
I like the games where all of your characters storage is linked I make like 4 or 5 characters just for sotrage
And then you realize the quest item was in your storage later and you didn’t acfually throw it away

im so sorry
Chat is getting slow first few days I couldnt keep it I guess we have just about discussed everything there is to discuss lol
true only 7:35 am here
its about 7 am in america
6:35 here
so i think a lot of people are busy or asleep
Ye that’s why it’s so quiet
its 7 pm here so i can kinda just do whatever
sleep is a non needed action when one is involved in a new game or an important raid lol
youre going to bed now?
My friends are waking up for work and I’m just about to go to sleep feelsbad
i mean i went to bed at 5 am this morning so i guess samesies
My sleep schedule is messed up
i couldnt sleep last night thanks to Intrusive Thoughts™️
I just can’t sleep because I’m an insomniac
I have to go to work in about 20 mins but luckily I work from home still so its just sign in and if there is a video conference put on a nice top lol
OTC medicine used to work but now it doesn’t, I need a prescription for something different
big bottle of niquil
It doesn’t work LOL
two cups of that puts me out for the night
I tried
Ok water glass full of whiskey 😉
I don’t drink sadly
am i the weird one that sleeps at 7 or 8:30pm and wake up at 3 or 4:30am. im 23 yrs old 
Good morning Palia Fam!
(and afternoon/evening/night where you are)
Last night I was basically just hanging out in #💬│off-topic-chat to distract myself until I finally fell asleep
the people here are nice, i got a lot of guided meditation links lol
I do when I have a daily life but I don’t atm so I can’t keep a healthy schedule
Have fun 🙂
Bye byeee
hi overflow
good morning
good luck liddy :3 💪
Have a great day everyone
Rest well!
hm... dming mr composer out of the blue would probably be rude, wouldnt it?
i sort of wanted to ask for advice for a newbie musician, since I want to be a composer and a singer
well...
by mr composer i mean steffen schmidt
Good Palia day to you Overflow Plays
lemme dm you something rin
you could try DMing him...some of the devs have their DMs locked
then dont?
yeah thats the conclusion i came to as well
maybe try musician forums or look up interviews with composers similar to steffen, i'm sure that question has been answered a lot
Hi
I do testing as a full time job, so when I first joined I sent the QA manager a quick message thanking him for all he does because I know it's an overlooked part of the process, but a very important one
It really is...sounds more glamorous than it is...
That’s what Creed does but he forgets the name sometimes
well i did it at an architect firm- so my QA was for blueprints and models
...does QA sound glamorous?
haha, prob not
i was kind of always under the assumption that their job was "hit this tree from five hundred different angles and see if anything breaks"
i think people think "testing games" or other such things and think "heck yes super fun"
I QA for a large insurance company. So not only do I QA claims, but I also test their web and mobile sites as well
eugh
yeaaaahhh...
do i have the gist of game qa down at least
yo
hewwo
pretty much, the hard part is thinking of random stuff that some wouldn't. So not just hit it from all angles, but try to jump on it, try to walk through it, try to use items on it that don't make sense for a tree (like a fishing pole and bug catcher), Try hitting "near" the tree and see if it connects, see if you can dig the tree up if you have a shovel, see what happens if you hit someone else WHILE they are hitting the tree...sometimes the hardest part of the job is coming up with something completely random that won't normally happen but is the root of the problem
ah
I pity the QA testers that have to go through that...
At least it'll be easier to find bugs when they have 1400 players stomping around the countryside rather than a small team
that's true!
at that time, i guess the qa testers get moved to testing reported bugs?
that, and they may test new things that may be added to the system for the players soon. In my company, there are three levels of testing that get done before it goes live to the customer. So they may be the first line, and we may be treated as the second line
Ooh who's the third line
the customer in this case, bwahaha
we have the people who created it testing it, then the smart I/S team testing it after them, and then I test it last before it goes into production. Then we have a whole other team that responds to issues once it is in production...so I wouldn't be surprised if they don't have something similar. One team working on "what's coming soon" and one team focused on "current reported problems" (which may then be pushed into a new fix, which then would be tested by the "what's coming soon" team)
(we should probably talk about something more interesting) Hasn't been asked in a while...what is everyone planning on naming their character/neighborhood?
I/S team? (sorry its interesting to me)
I'll name my character Rin if I can
because it's my name
either Rin or Catbell
I/S = Information Services. They're like...the computer programmer type of part of a company
ohhhhh
catbell sounds cute too
I'm torn whether to give my character a "name" or stick with Overflow Plays so people recognize me from here. If I do name, I like to go with "Fady Galaband"
That sounds like smth with the letters rearranged but i cant figure out what
info on when we'll possibly have beta key ?
pre-alpha, not beta...and no news yet. They just say "soon".


Go check out #❓│old-team-answers-alpha as there is some information there about the pre-alpha. There will only be 1400 who will be receiving keys for testing in Pre-Alpha

fair
the future is so bright. palia, more nickelodeon avatar content, new friends...
am i allowed to vote for my own question is #851872239435644928
sure
neat thanks
I met someone at the dog park yesterday who had named their dog Zuko. I was like "That's pretty cool!!" 😄
That's cool!
Hey, Zuko here--
Good morning
Hello local alligator wrangler
because all dogs are princes and princesses and royal children
That's cats
no, cats just "think" they are, hahaha
good morning 🌻 🌼 🌷
No wait, they are emperors and empresses!
or old gods
Children under the Sun
they do have that "you fatigue me, mortal" look sometimes
((this is off topic but i love that series of posts of cats talking like victorian children))
Dogs and cats are never off topic
What kind of culture do you think Grimalkins have?
maybe they live in many countries and have many cultures
spousu
last I checked it's officially spousu
I would know, as I am one LMAO
ofc wife prefers the term "spousey wousey"
she's adorable 😊
Palia's gonna have a hard time competing with her in my book
funny you're talking about that, i'm literally studying for the ISTQB exam
Good luck!!
nervous for sure, so much content
spousu.... cute
just got back from rereading the FAQ doc again
someone at s6 watches Monster Factory. someone at s6 is a McElroy fan
also every answer to every question makes me more hyped for the game aaaaa
I want it to be localised into Japanese so I can share it with more of my friends...
S6 Devs are fucken legends, I hope they get all the success they deserve
yeah!
there were a lot of answers to questions i didnt even know i had
things like accessibility features for disabled players
I'm so excited
Ok 15 hours after the car accident, I'm home
oh no! Are you injured?
Nope
Everyone is ok save the car
And the boat trailer we were shoved into by a drunk driver
i thought that nope was directed at me for a sec
i was worried lol
grrrrr
i hope youll still have a good time in your days off
I'm babysitting dogs at my place while my mother and brother attempt to finish the trip
Staycation is a go...
Glad youre all okay Glyff. Geez.
I'm tired, I'm saying screw it, I'm making Ramen with hard boiled eggs, chicken, and the good soy sauce... it's really bad for you cause of all of the salt, but I'm out of four letter words to give
Yep, I totally called it. The devs ended the vote right before 8K just so they wouldn't have to reveal the secret NPC xD
monday is reveal day, they didn't end it willy nilly
they actually ended it later than they ended it the week before
ahhhh ok
treat yourself, it's so delicious
You know what really isn't good for you, and tastes horrible if you don't have just the right ingredients, but is SO worth it if you do?
Southern Pear Salad
McD honestly isn't even close to the worst out there
oh, we don't have that here where I live xD
yeah, A&W places aren't that common, especially nowadays
🗿
I wanted to try and order a&w cream soda from America
while not exactly healthy, the canned drinks aren't too bad
but never ever put A&W food in your body
you might be one of those people like me whose bodies can't even handle it
my body is not typically the fan of food with a lot of fats
even backed up with vegetables on the side
I can handle almost any food and not have to .... get rid of them ... out the front or back. But A&W food is an exception.
wow
And to be clear at the time A&W was easily accessible I was living in SanAn
I could take in all kinds of legit Mexican food
but never anything from A&W
if that tells you anything
I'm sleepy. Want to cuddle wife and play Palia. But My Time at Sandrock has a demo out apparently? I hadn't heard.
Will have something to do.
It's official, this will be a game you play while cuddling with people lol
Palia and Chill
I always want to cuddle my wife. If I had my way she'd just be draped over my arm like 24/7.
Big cuddle pile with my partners.
yeah, I couldn't handle spicy food like from youth until the age of 24 I think, for some reason, but I'm ok with it again since lately, idk why
partners?
I'm polyamorous.
Just throw all of us in a big pile of blankets, give us handhelds, and let us snuggle
lemme at a laptop to play Palia lmao
I'm not polyamorous but that sounds pretty awesome
"give us handhelds" now I'm imagining you all with PSPs lol
I find it hard to reach keyboard when someone is sitting on my laps
not with both hands at least
pretty much an ideal date if I get all four of my partners in the same room. A switch or two, a 3DS, a PSP or Vita...
let us just Vibe.
some pokemon trading is bound to happen lmao
I still have my 3ds just to play animal crossing new leaf once in a while
I keep one around to play old DS games mostly
but you see, my wife has a copy of Ghost Trick, so can you blame me?
Then that one person comes in with a modded GBA and all of a sudden the SFX come on with IMAX volume XD
lmao
I'm sure my DS and DS and GBA games are ruined
i think they've been in a storage shed for over 10 years
and it was an original DS too
oof
And I don't have my original GBA either so I can't get it modded x.x; tho it'd prob be ruined too
Mmm
a song by Test Crash Dummies?
Happy chuusday.
Needs more tusks :3
Good morning Pals~
Gmorning
Morning Palians
Chapas :>(
it's just a pun
Ikr
someone earlier mentioned consoles. switch palia would be such a vibe
mobile palia? pog?
@strong fable At this time they're only supporting English, but down the line closer to release they definitely want to be able to support other languages. There ARE levels and EXP in the game, but they're tied to the crafting / gathering skills rather than killing mobs like most MMOs.
I just want VR Palia like real, real bad 😄
As soon as they translate to Japanese I am sending it to so many people
(by which i mean like one)
has there been any update on a timeframe for the pre-alpha? not a specific date, but maybe weeks vs. months until we might hear?
Nope, unfortunately no news. My speculation is sometime after the next Q&A, so mid July. But that's just speculation.
okay, thanks!
hope everyone is doing well! 😄 can't wait to hear more about the game and read the next round of FAQ answers
Good day so far~ Just woke up like half an hour ago so having my breakfast and coffee, vibing, and checking all the socials~
Has anyone been able to start playing this game yet? I looked at the Paloma Twitter and some of the posts make it sound as if some people are playing?
**Palia Twitter
Nope, pre-alpha hasn't started yet. The devs are the only ones in the game.
I really want to play that game
@loud axle thanks!!! Have they chosen who will be apart of the pre alpha? I really hope I get chosen
So for play the pre alpha the google page of Palia have to send a Test to my Gmail?
As far as I know nope. They've said 1,400 people will get access though in the last Q&A, but we don't know how they're selecting people... if it's just random, or if they're looking for something specific.
Sign up on palia.com and complete the survey. There's no email confirmation but you'll be entered in to play~
Only 1,400 geez they probably have so many people who have entered!
I´ll go to the page, i didn´t see the test in the page
We're somewhere around 80k members on here and that's just those that signed up for Discord! Definitely pretty low chances but don't forget pre-alpha is just the first batch of testing. Hopefully we'll all be in for a "true" early access within the year.
1400, plus some of those people will be allowed to bring friends for targeted group feedback, so probably closer to 2000
i dont think they were expecting this many
according to some dev responses, they expected maybe 2000 people in here, not...... this
don't underestimate the power of world of stardew crossing
Honestly. Growing up loving games like Harvest Moon it's been weird seeing how mainstream the life sim genre has become lol
it's because people of today's generation have to use escapism through video games to enjoy things like house ownership, hard work actually paying off, and non-toxic relationships
I remember playing Harvest Moon on the N64 and I was so close to giving Ann the blue feather and than my save file was overwritten 😭😭😭
Yikes the truth bomb
The world is a dark place, gen X was the last generation with a chance to fix anything, and that didn't pan out, so now millennials and onward are just stuck on a train crashing in slow motion. nobody can stop it anymore, and nobody can get off the train.
Might as well enjoy a good game on the ride, Choo choo
We may as well throw a party on the train!
Good morning everyone!
that's basically escapist philosophy in a nutshell, if i can play a comfy game where things are fine and the world isn't imploding, then i'd rather do that than deal with the nonsense i can no longer control
Man what you on about, I'm here to play Palia, not think about the end of the world. Catch me farming those garlics on Palia while the sun explodes.
I wonder what the name of
is?
I want it to have a pretty name, like... wisteria. except that's a real flower
Good morning!
is the Roan flower! 😄
Guten morgen
even after the sun explodes, my funnel cake shop will still be there
I can't wait for a release on all of the flora and fauna.
Good Morning
Nono, I'm the currency in the game!
Roan is a pretty name
I'm excited for pre-alpha. Stooooooked.
oh. ive been duped
Morning Roan
Another day of waiting patiently for palia
I WANT A COLOUR IN MY NAME XD
fhilmarillis
It's been some time now. It's the 22nd, they released the Discord on the 3rd?
fhilmarillis.... powerful
Maybe we will hit 80k soon.
Except for the announcement trailer is there some Palia content out there to check out?
There's some npc reveals in #🌠│official-art
Why thank you 😄 It's actually a type of coat on animals and I honestly don't know how I started using it as a name... But it's simple and pretty so it's stuck~
Ther'es an unofficial FAQ pinned in this channel
go to #📃│server-directory
There's a gdoc to read over somewhere.
The FAQ is worth looking at too
Oh yeah I forget Roan you live in FL too. Have you been getting these crazy storms?
Cheers
also palia.com
Yeap
And morning juliet! Sorry, I reacted but I'm a little distracted - just got the keyboard for my new computer so setting that up
Thanks
Ohh nice! New keyboards are fun
I wonder if, like, breasts are an optional thing on either bodytype? Cause I like the feminine model better but I would prefer to not have breasts if I can help it
they said the character creator was gonna be pretty ivolved, so hopefully not
The addition of a slider for it would be a valuable, if controversial, addition
OH MY GOD IT'S SO PRETTY. It has different lighting effects and this one is like ripples out from whatever keys I press
i would prefer to not have breasts
me irl
I do hope they have those options, Rin.
I'm glad
I was worried someone was gonna yell at me
no mate that's what i'm hoping for too!
I'm hoping for sliders to help customize your character cause weeee
I was worried someone was gonna yell at me
I'd have been real disappointed if anyone did
you never know
I want to play a beefcake lady who chops down trees okay
valid
that's amazing
I want to play a cute boy that happens to look more feminine
or maybe a cute boy that doesn't. who knows? depends how cute they make both bodytypes
i'll be THE duck in the game.
oh hell yeah
Beefcake witch of the woods who collects flowers and wood.
We'll get a title that just says "The" and Duck's name will be Duck
so they'll be called
"The
Duck"
Lol yes
i'd like to play a guy with a lowkey muscular build, and then his character will come with what i decide to do in the game :D
...I'll play a twunk because that's what I always play lol
hell yeah
I am the local twink lookin ass little brother that's trying to learn how to cook and play the piano
dgnsfks amazing
Oooh, I do hope for musical instruments in Palia
They said it was a possibility
will there be dungeons and exploration in the game?
Although they mentioned it might be difficult due to latency and stuff
They have mentioned that dungeons exist (FAQ doc) and that there are some adventures to go on with friends but theyre not like WoW raids where you have to grind for a hundred thousand years to go in
I can definitely understand latency making that difficult, I just love the idea of a live band in the neighborhood while we rp lol
Palia Unofficial #ask-the-team Compilation The document contains all the responses from the devs in #ask-the-team on the official Palia discord. I categorized them in a way you can easily understand what they are talking about without adding the actual questions. (I removed repetitive answers in ...
They do mention that some of the team members are RPers so theyre trying to get some of that stuff in (things like emotes)
ah sorry about the repetitive questions, i've been working my way thru the document but it is so large
I saw that, I'm really hopeful they do more than just emotes (a great chat system for starters)
It's alright
I read through the whole thing again earlier today and managed to hype myself up. Again.
And yeah, it's fine, questions bring ideas and chatting yeah?
:D
ffxiv has some of the best emotes, maybe palia's will live up to it
things like /flowershower are just. man,
i love throwing flower petals everywhere
the palia flower.....
if the name of the game all branched from a flower - palia
i imagine the full name of the flower would be a bit longer but that might be cool
Palians Morthicanus
:D!!
Palianiris Beautibilla
i dont know latin
I don't either
I just make stuff up lol
Maybe naming conventions are different in Palia
i wonder if they do have a name for the flower already, or if they were just like "haha it's a random flower noone's going to want to know what its name is"
Pfft, we're voraciously eating up every detail they give us lmao
I think they should do what Marvelous did for the new flower in Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. Come up with four names and host a poll! Let the community decide from the best ideas they have.
Oooh, that's a good idea

YES. I asked before what flower it was modeled after! That has to be it
I can see it. It might just be a cosmo!
wrong leaves though
Now to figure out what geographical regions cosmos grow in and determine what land Palia is based most heavily on 👀
Also Laurisse is the one who does the foliage in Palia so... maybe we could name it after her? 😄
Laurissen Palians
Your best bet is to find out where singularity six is located, and assume the game's based on that
cosmos are native to mexico, incidentally
I hope to explore different biomes in Palia
They are in LA, California
I... might have found their address yesterday for future food-sending purposes. 🙊
Lol nice
Laurisse Palians as a name slaps actually
....is sending food by mail a good idea?
lol in the past people have just held little drives to collect donations and then ordered food to deliver to the devs.
They got cookies for Overwatch before 😛
wao
Pfft. You need to step up your game. I've been hiding in the basement all week. They have yet to spot me..
👀 That's because there's only like three people in the office!
It'd be backwards, as far as latin names go. A more likely candidate (esp. if we're assuming that these are cosmos relatives) would be:
Cosmos Laurisseus
But we want Palia in the name 😔
I LOVE IT
Palius Laurisseus
Paliasmos Laurisseus
pronounced: Laurisse-us, not laurisse-ius
Probably shouldnt call them "Palius", cause that's the genus. You'd be using the "Palia" prefix way too soon
Ah
you could call em Cosmos Palians or Palianus maybe
but the latter will get you butt jokes
furiously scribbling notes
oo or Palii
I love me some double-is
but since laurisse designed em, I figure it's fitting to name em after her(?)
Cosmos Laurisseus is really powerful...
All we need now is for someone to sketch up a nice "plant journal"-style sketch of it with that name attached, post it in art channel, and get the devs to fawn over it
voila: user-initiated canon is born
I can't draw unfortunately 😦
neither
don't look at my wings
wut
wut
I know too much about ducks to even risk a biology conversation about them
lol I mean I can't draw neither
You know why ducks are always unhappy at the end of a meal?
They've always got the bill.
Points to the door
lol this a good one actually
OUT
sidles crabwise out the door
Oh no, did I join an anti-dad joke discord
every good discord is an anti-dad joke discord
sometimes my brother tells me dad jokes. my BROTHER

One of my favourites an it's an oldy.
"I once knew a Palian with a wooden leg named Fred. I don't know the name of their other leg."
On the contrary. I used to be a Jungle Cruise Skipper.
I was once in a relationship with a girl named Katie. Our ship name?
Claritie.
It was a pretty clear-cut thing.
hey I thought we were making dad jokes
just doing my thing.
I wonder if the devs are going to learn from my mistakes with gamedev
will they be putting Balance in the game?
that one takes some explaining as to why it's a pun, but
i have literally never seen a dad joke this specific before
Battle Network 3 had an attack called Balance. It reduced your HP and your opponent's HP by half. When asked if I would be replicating its effects in a project, I said "I don't think I'm putting Balance in the game, no."
We can compete our best dad-jokes in the #💬│off-topic-chat and let's see who has the best one LOL
but without HP, how will they Balance the game of Palia?
i loved megaman but specifically Star Force
I wonder which comes out first: Palia or Star Force 4 😂
or more realistically, Palia or BN Legacy Collection
dang
but I'm hopefully trying to steer us back on topic as Ducks asked :p
right right
I'm actually kinda excited for Palia. It looks soooo pretty
im super excited for it
The flowersssss
It'll be interesting to see how the farms/houses work. Will they be separate designated spaces, or will people be able to troll others?
Separate places. No trolling or griefing allowed
They're trying very hard to make trolling as impossible as possible
That's kinda what I figured
The idea is getting Palia to be a safe place for everyone, trolling would kinda ruin that goal
Farming sims are all about the chill vibes, so definitely ideal
they add instruments
there's that one player who afks with a macro to play Megalovania 24/7
on flute.
Or just a single high note for 17 hours.
FWEE FWEE FWEE FWEE
FWEE FWEE FWEE FWEE FWEE
then there's the server favorite
a player who wanders around forests playing Lost Woods
Luckily, with all the testing and feedback that Palia is going to be going through over the next however long, people will be able to examine features, see how they might be exploited, and inform devs so that by launch time most of the issues will be handled in advance of them being a problem.
i remember people playing SAO opening on piano when maplestory 2 was released 😂
legit 24/7

Pre-alpha will happen this summer, but you're probably looking at over a year until proper launch. There is no set in stone date.
I signed up for pre-alpha. Can't wait for the early struggle lol
hahaha
Probably, yes
Possibly, but you can jump the gun and form Palia friends right now without waiting.
i heard this in my head...
There's going to be a guy that mods an otamatone into the game just to play La Hee
La hee
Otamatones are amazing and should be added lol
i can never remember if it's otamatone or otomatone
Otomatone i think
oh apparently it's otamatone...
😮
Nvm
https://otamatone.com/
from the website directly
loving the tagline
"kind a weird yet loving musical toy"
who knows what the beta will look like or even early access
yeaa
hehe but prepare to lose garden show offs XD
i will have christmass lights during christmass
xd
ready to rub my dirty paws together for some QA and bug reports djkfhsdkjfghf
Do you guys know anything about character creation yet
imagine u can actually break into someone elses house
They haven't put out much besides the gdoc in the pins of the channel, I'm excited they're doing body types rather than guy/gal
hoho you're in for a treat let me grab the info
XD

gender is banned in palia
We're trying to avoid male/female. You choose a body type and all the customization options are tailored to fit all body types -You don't choose a gender or pronoun, just a body type -Body Types? To start we have 2, this is a start -1 model for both male and female? I do want to clarify as this is not quite how the customization process works right now. Players have 2 body options to chose from, hairstyles are shared between both. Faces are unique to each. One is more masculine presenting, the other is more feminine. -We haven't built a lot of options yet as we've been working out the pipeline but we have been researching and concepting not just at different skin tones but also a wider variety of facial structures/features. It is going to be extensive! But it may seem limited at the onset of the Alpha -The Alpha only scratches at the surface here. Lots of customization options coming! -Other races? We're not talking about all of that yet, unfortunately -Unique usernames? Probably not. Will likely do the USERNAME#1234 or similar -Naming? i don't think it's been fully figured out, to be honest Surnames or titles are a possibility, this may hinge on community feedback -i think you'll be happy with how we do things with customization, especially if you're into colors in hair
-We want people to feel they can play the person they want to play. We're investing in lots of body shapes, clothing options, hair styles, etc. All completely mix and matchable -Color wheel or a set palette? Likely to evolve over time. At the moment, some things like hair color are a palette, and other items have authored color variants. That could change tomorrow, that could change a year from now. There are interesting design concerns about absolute freedom to pick any colors whatsoever versus making it hard for people to feel like they're picking an aesthetically pleasing color palette versus candidates for the Monster Factory YouTube channel (is that a good thing? Is that a bad thing? -Multiple Characters? Not at Pre-Alpha but the plan is to support multiple characters.
nomi do you think there'll be a breast slider
that said: it's an early stage and they said again and again that not every dev has the newest info or might forget something since they're a team of fifty
The non-gender is interesting. Kinda bummed about not being able to pick other races though lol
yet
honestly i think gender is completely fine but since there are some ppl concerned about that it's actually cool that the devs are listening to their public
that's the key for a game to go viral
y e t
i hope they add duck in races
memes aside i do genuinely want something like a bust slider
(so i can have no bust on the feminine model or lots of bust on the masculine one)
maybe a slider, maybe a good amount of options to choose from. their word choice is promising tweaking after all.
either of those would be good
I don't want it to be something they ignore cause I would feel Super Uncomfortable
Ducks are not great at running races, imho
or maybe a duck costume so you'll be a human sized duck :3
terrrifying
How nice it'll be to play a game that doesn't gender-lock pants and hair. 😊
i think they're an essential part to shape a body in a way that'll make it feel like your body
i wouldn't worry
[intense sobbing and choking]
It's all about the pockets
it's not ready yet
Iirc, the trailer was made in the game.
IM GONNA CRYYYYY HEREEEE
i want a peace full mmo where i can steal my neighbours their roses
and other plants XDDDDDD
if they showed it i imagine it would be a little wonky and some people might lose all interest in the game even though it's clearly still in development
I imagine there will be a new video when pre-alpha opens
You can't steal things. That's specifically a thing they're working against.
nomi can i take ur roses hahaha
trade it with some potatoes
you can tell me what you need and i'll grow twice as many so we can share
You may not be able to steal, but there's still a possibility at some point in the future that you could assign privs to friends so they can visit you or maybe tend your plants while you're away. A lot of things aren't set in stone yet.
ahhhwwww
With a name like outlaw, what did you expect lol
hahahaha
omg duh. silly me
❤️
eeyyy is oke if i take it i'll blame someone else that the other person took it and stuff
and then it will end up in a mysterie XDDD
outlaw is just temporarily "borrowing" those roses
You can visit a friend's plot and help them build their building
this excites me
Opt-in teamwork makes the dream work.
i really dont want to
You attempt to pick the lock. The Attack Duck™️ takes notice of you.
rip
Pray you'll never find out.
i'll get my dogg with me he will protect me
quack
xd

Ah, the Security Deer; I almost forgot about them.
Most of the time they just nibble your lawn to keep it level, but sometimes...
I would 100% use security deer
aint the Security Deer an enemy from spookys house of jumpscares
I wouldn't know.
