I wish Palia devs would recognize those that are active on the discord and streams and allow a portion of those to be selected for pre-alpha or later releases.

I wonder if these characters will be voice acted

they have the same skin color
until we see more i dont think we can really say she's tamala's mom...

otherwise it feels a little racist, i guess

i could totally voice act (; wink wink nudge nudge

she writes in backwards better than me in normal direction

True

cyan basin

Eshe is an older adult, Jina would be too young to be her daughter TBH. Tamala is also an adult so the timeline works out better.

There's also the theory that Tamala uses the hourglass on her neck to be younger, "the secret of beauty"

Mine was paragraph length.

I tried to keep mine short as well

Short and detailed are key...

Straight to the point was how I went about it. A few sentences but enough to say what I wanted to say

cyan basin

Two short sentences

#

I'm pretty bad with words...

novel plank
#

i mean, at least with the second questionnaire it gives you an idea of the people really staying up to date with the discord and the game rather than those that only signed up for pre-alpha most likely thinking it was the actual game

"Lovable but maybe a little annoying at certain times," is how they describe an unannounced character who was the first one in the game

for reference: Duke/duchess is one step below prince/princess

So who is ... or was the Duke ?

Yeah could be the reason for the frenemies thing, she has to cozy up to her

NDAs are pretty strict, can't see anyone successfully getting away with breaking it

Noone in their right mind would leak that stuff, especially not somewhere that big. You'd get legal action taken against you for sure

real hollow
warm plover

That as well of course, but some people might not be convinced by that, so...

stone sage
#

exactly, i dont see it happening

coarse portal
#

Either way chances are slim, especially if you're in such a small group of players

mystic gale
#

Places like IGN aren't likely to report stuff like that anyway, from people breaking NDA

warm plover
#

And especially if you were handpicked by Nel

safe fern
coarse portal
#

There's tons of games being play tested with NDAs you never hear about

magic mist

There's no need to worry. Make your peace with the idea of bad actors. They will exist no matter what, whether it's breaking NDA on purpose, trolling, or otherwise causing trouble. Whatever those people choose to do, there are steps that can be taken after and I guarantee they will be.

warm plover
#

If you wrote a big-ass book report in your survey and you get picked for it, that's a pretty good indicator of how much you love games
I don't think people like that are likely to break an NDA

Exactly, it's a very oiled machine. NDA's have worked wonders over the last decade or so. It tends to be Youtubers that break them and it never really pans out.

One of the questions asked during the stream was where 'Palia' came from as a name and they said they wanted something that embodied a cozy feeling. How does the word 'Palia' make you guys feel? Does it put a particular picture or memory in your head?

it looks like the word 'pal'!

I like a and ia sounds

Why does the internet fight the creator of gif on his pronunciation? Cause it's THE WRONG WAY

You can see the voiced trailers in the future in my vision "so come and join me and be my pal, in Pal-ia!!!"

#

The Palia/Paylia thing is a good exercise in examining our norms and adapting to new information. Like when someone you've known for years changes their name and you have to keep reminding yourself they aren't Kevin anymore. Eventually you'll all be able to call this game Becky and it'll be glorious.

warm plover

pfft

Palia is an interesting name, if I consider the name I think more of the word, pale, next Paleontology and Paleo.
In anyway the name itself does not bring a bad vibe to mind, so that is positive.

See! I TOLD YOU.

The fight continues.

patent dust
#

its not that deep my friend

cinder temple
#

People are pretty terrified about the monetization thing, but I wouldn't worry overly much. We all have preferences for how games handle moneystuff, but ultimately it's not really a concern. It'll either be a model we like, or a model we don't (and can give feedback on once they reveal their plans). One thing I'm pretty sure of is that you won't really be able to pay to win, as I'm not sure there's such a thing as winning at fishing and exploring.

lone crane
#

It's Mariana trench deep.

safe fern
#

True, so long as it's not pay to win I'm happy

cinder comet
#

So how they were talking about the game earlier is making me think more about how the game will go.

They mentioned romancing NPCs, however, how will that work in the open world? To me that seems like it'd be a bit more closed off than what I"m thinking for a traditional MMO.

patent dust
#

no matter what they choose not everyone is gunna be happy about it, so theres no point in the conversation as in the end, its not up to us
