Oooh
based off what they responded with in the twitch chat
She looks like a wholesome grandma
olenna ❤️
Ah they showed the official one? nvm then
Tell Cersei it was me
one of my favs in the books and series
where is the streeam?
Twitch - playPalia
Hi! #📢│palia-news
playpalia twitch
here
omg im blind
aw i cant link their twitch :(
haha sry, but thank u people
see ya there!
I'll watch for you, lower case
this new survey question made me think for a long time O.o
Like that. Makes you use your head 😄
I'm watching it right now ;)
yay
muahaha i was the first person to say it was photoshop
I'm honestly surprised it's ONLY 344 people in the Stream
im too powerful
I expected 1k+
the bottom right person really do be in spectator mode
Same Roan
Literally lol
But it is the middle of the work day sooooo
other people are missing out
😗
I'm surprised only just over 190 people followed out of the 340
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.
Im just glad twitch chat is being nice. I don't think I've ever seen such a polite twitch chat. It's a such a nice, chill stream.
🙂
Someone give Nel a whiteboard
Did they unban Xyzzy?
Oh I actually totally forgot. I don't use Twitch much lol
what even happened to him
just how the game should be
Hopefully it shows the future of the community in Palia <3
Monkey's paw your wish.
s6 has 19mill of funding? omg
I didn't think they would at first honestly but they did ask in this second survey for Discord names so it's possible. Though I think they want a good variety of people - those that are less social than others would still give great feedback.
whered you see that?
I DEMAND that S6 gives Sasha her artbook
They should release a Palia coloring book
looking through public record company databases and stuff
crunchbase com
you be creepin 🧟
👀 i wanted to see how indie the devs were or whatever
true
judging from the rough quality of the stream lmao
lololololol
I don't expect them to accept everyone based off of activity of course. I literally mean like a select few that are active on their socials. I think it would be a good way to promote activity
twitch chat acting as tech support
As we should
real ones
the start was super rough, couldn't watch anymore lol but none-the-less, i'm still 100% excited for the actual game itself and am excited to see where it goes 😊
second OBS audio stream with mic as source
saaaaaaaaame.
i think that's adorable
exactly!
I'm SCREAMING
It's so wholesome
Nel is a LEGEND
it was cute LOL
she'll need to flip her camera horizontally for us to read it
Am I late for the stream?
We love you Niel
no, join now pal!
check the announcements for the link to the twitch stream
AW YEA
i just love how nice they are and normal and chill and all
I can read backwards text, I'll translate for you all, the twitch chat moves wayyyy too fast
Leeeet's DOO IIIITTT!
Oh i can read it allll as it's moving i'm glad this is a trait i have
I forgot if any gameplay would be shown or not.
This art is amazing 😭
yeah, I can read it, but it makes me seasick these days
I can’t watch the stream I’m in public rn but it LOOKS AMAZING
it will probably be able to be watched after its over
I'd post an image of the current progress if I could for you
Purple cruella for the win
Oh I'll put an image in offtopic
You could gyazo it
yo, the dev just said PAYlia, lmao. Might want to change your name unless it's supposed to be silly
nvm cant send images in offtopic either
Nel is so wholesome my heart hurts
The dev is wrong, just like how the creator of the gif is wrong.
You can send em' elsewhere and drop the image link here. ODd that that works
She is precious
lmfao
agreed
Make Nel a character in the game
hey uhhhh is the artist's name Alex or Sasha?
Well nel appears in the trailer, she's the default fortnite skin guy 

Sasha
anyone notice how Eshe looks like Tamala's mother ?
that backwards 2 lol
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 was thinking about that aswell
i could totally voice act (; wink wink nudge nudge
she writes in backwards better than me in normal direction
im maybe being silly
Eshe's hair gives me Baba Yaga vibes (spirited away)
Otter, YES
Gives me cruella vibes
I thought possibly related to #2, with the same white streak in the hair
Indeed
The human rich lady in 'Aristocrats'
Yesss!!
OMG YES!
Oooooh
Madame Adelaide
Einar's the fishing skill master!
skill masters seems cool
Another win for the fishing supremacy believers
But looking at her picture now I'm not so sure. I sorta see it.
Stepmother in Cinderella, too, and all three characters for the same reasons
She holds a chapaa instead
still can't post the clips...
🐟
How'd they pronounce Zeki?
Zeh-key
Eshe is my favourite so far. She looks powerful, important and fancy, but kind at the same time.
CONFIRMED!
WOW
WAIT IS SHE ACTUALLY TAMALA'S MOM?
Aw, I thought it was Zeek-ee
NICE
SHE IS THE MOTHER?? i was right?>? ?? !??
I'm sorry sarah
I shouldn't have said what I said
WHAT ARE WE YELLING ABOUT?!
i stopped watching for now, im playing genshin currently to do my dailies but DAAAmn my intuition is unmatched gg

they did not specifically say who her daughter is, but we all know its Tamala
I wish I could art so pretty.. Imma need to practice >.<
at first, we were arguing about a pronunciation, now the spelling 🦆
Who is your main team?
Keqing, Bennett, Eula, Zhongli .. currently
Alex worked on Wildstar! for whoever it was that played it
Her name is Eshe right? The artist leaked it
I'll probably switch out Bennett for the new Pyro 5 star girl if I get her
keqing...?
Yeah it's Eshe 🙂
Keqing is my main
I said it on stream but the color of their eyes doesn't match 👀
she's so good
cough #🎮│other-games
Diluc is mine. Main team Diona, Xingqui, Fish/Keqing, Diluc
Before we get scolded. 🥶
It's not a deal breaker, but Jina's eyes do match :o
she could have .. her father's eyes tho (;
True
takes two to make a baby, we have not seen the mayor yet
okay I am done
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.
can you abyss with keqing tho?
no idea i stay away from the abyss BUT the web event for kazuha is out now
There's also the theory that Tamala uses the hourglass on her neck to be younger, "the secret of beauty"
It COULD be the huntress from the picnic image though
i stopped playing genshin when i knew i needed 2 teams for abyss and keqing was labeled as "bad"
The way the older elf be looking kinda down on us.. i almost imagine the words "Pathetic" at the bottom.. D;
my sympathies to her, I've had to do that before
She's going to be MIA from Discord for a few days.
Eeyup
Hang in there Nel
nel is giving me more reasons to think she's the most wholesome human being
Poor Nel
we love nel
Good luck, Nel. I hope they aren't ALL essay length
a "few days". Let's hope it doesn't take too long. Would love to see numbers of total submissions. First and second surveys.
Good luck reading mine haha 
I don't know about other people, but mines just a few measly sentences
I wish Nel luck a true Pal
I answered it very short, because I knew it would be a pain to read them all
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
Two short sentences
I'm pretty bad with words...
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
...
It would be nice if all the actives here got picked
Zeh-kee
PSA: Zeki is Zeh-kee
I missed the beginning, what is this character's name?
i doubt it 
i know
Esche! Or something like that
Yeah it's Eshe
help
whats up?
yes?
get on your phone, get bluetooth earphones
...POINT, MY PHONE
I didn't even sign up for the alpha because I'd rather just try it in a later stage honestly.
WALK AND GIT TEA INSTEAD OF COFFEE
I do have some cinnapple tea....
Disturbo mailing coffee
that's tempting, Wolfjack
Unannounced "lovable but annoying" character... hmmm
youre welcome
"Lovable but maybe a little annoying at certain times," is how they describe an unannounced character who was the first one in the game
yeet some coffee lol
Eshe lives in a manor and is married to the mayor..
That's how people that speak spanish would pronounce it
I've been saying "Zee-key" this entire time
That was huge
Zeh-key is how i pronounce it
We know there is a more general government and also local one
Indeed
or how a japanese person might pronounce it ゼッキ
AHHH FINAL CONCEPT
oooohhh wow!
I CANT WATCH, IM ON DATA 
Eshe is so glamorous
SMOKING, in two senses of the word
We dont have a map of Bahari Town yet. Just know it's a bit bigger than the start village

You da mvp
naisuuuu
final concept for Eshe. I don't have a picture of the in-progress art sorry
actually i managed to get a couple of them
I love that we have something that can be considered kind of a "villain" character now
Some of the in-development sketches
So we can expect some sort of conflict, even if it's light, in the game
fighting capitalism 🙂
reminds me of Polly in Peaky Blinders
Hahaha yes! ^^^^
She's older, and very 'traditional' which is probably the only conflict, having to deal with the influx of new humans
They'll be uploading it to Youtube sometime next week for anyone who missed it
the players will be the villains, i will roleplay a corrupt fishing corporation whos sole aim is to sell rotten fish cakes to unsuspecting buyers 
"Poison" "Tom nook like.."
Obviously the team had their feel of her charactar...
wonderful stream
Sasha loves seeing fanart and implores us to please keep doing it
Hey does anybody know, is it possible to accidentally fill out the survey twice? I can't remember if I'm using the correct email I did the first survey with and I don't wanna fill it out again if I already did and it would mess it up...
Disturbo memezef and I are remaking arches to recreate the human stargate 
couldnt watch it, im on data 
Thank you so much, loved watching that stream!!
Eshe somehow reminds me of Cruella De Vil
So WHOLESOME
she pretty much looks like her
NO, YOURE WHOLESOME
ty for stream 😘
awww i wanted to know if its gonna be a sub game or option or ingame items or dlcs 😦
Remember, she's not evil, she's just traditional!
gg
thats what they all say!
I missed the beginning, but that was so good!
Well that was amazing :D
that was so cute
So awesome
That was an awesome stream
Looked great!
Thank you for the stream, Nel, Alex, Sasha! We love you guys!
Nice stream!!
that was soo wholesome and insightful <3
💜💜💜
That was nice to be a part of
That was great
that was fun to watch
good stream
that was great thanks guys 🙂
sasha <3 😭
thanks again for the stream!
To bad we couldn’t hear Nel
Made my week!!
That was awesome
I loved it!!
well they have the followers, now all they need is the time and they'll get affiliate 
Great stream, thanks!
Pray that next time they wont have mic issues
Awesome stream
Thank u guys it was awesome to see it
Sasha's is amaaazing wow
And also, wow, so amazing to see Eshe come to life!
or any tech issues
Looking forward to them posting the official character in the chat
...I was looking through meet the team for what Aidan's S6 name is and... it's literally S6 Aidan. I'm an idiot lol
Yeah Sasha is super skilled
So talented, cant wait to see more art
I was worried I wasn’t going to be able to watch. So glad I made it 😊
I think I found her ArtStation account
The grandma looks like she means business but can also be grandmotherly if you're a good boy/girl/whatever gender
Aidan seems like every cool boss I wish I had and Sasha's talent is positively daunting, and Eda is a shining personality even muted
I'm kinda amazed how only around 350 joined the stream, thought it would get at least 1k
It was nice getting to know them better
Eshe is my new favorite character lol
Gib
Aidan seems so chill! I'd love his vibe around the office
Amazing stream! Thank you all! ❤️
good stream mic issues aside
Sweet thank you 🙏
i think it looks great but i can see a lot of blacklash for the fur coat and cigarette from the snowflakes
I wonder if Eshe actually has a cigarette holder in game
i want to follow her around with a lighter at all times
Oh ok, so she's both Alex and Sasha
Ignore the snowflakes all they know is how to squak out complaints and will probably never enjoy the game
I'm really glad the Twitch chat was civil 🙂
maybe her fur coat is made from 101 chapaas
[S6] Aidan is the game director
Hello
Aidan is the game director, he was on stream just now
oh I thought Aiden was a new npc
AHHHH
Is it not normally?
Kitty
Yeah her name on stream said Alex but they said Sasha?
Grandma Eshe looks like a boss
tryna romance the game director 😂
Most Twitch chats? Not a chance
The stream was super fun!
Sasha must be a nickname
whatever it takes to get pre alpha i guess 😂
Twitch chats can get very chaotic and toxic
Sasha is a common nickname for people named Alex :D
Ours? Just a positive outpouring of love at every moment
That's pretty, is that from Palia too?
@tidal cairn I don't want to talk about it ✋
Only if you want to Speedrun the bribery route to getting the pre alpha
I mean we can just accept that her name is Sasha, right?
nah, from sasha's artstation
in russian/ukrainian name is same Alexandra and Sasha
It depends on the Twitch community. there is a bunch of kind people here
Gorgeous
She got called Sasha.
Ahh that's interesting, thanks for the info
Ohh okay
Well, that was a pleasant stream.
Very
meow
stream was nice, ended up seeing the last of it on my phone as my tea steeps
didn't read chat for most of it.
You know, looking at Sasha's artstation, if you told me her designs would be rendered in 3D and made into a game I'd have been on board with that 100% before I even saw the Palia trailer
Tea? Thought u were getting coffee
Welp, sorry for the audio issues on my end!
Petition to get a whiteboard decoration for Nel once Palia is live?
I drink both.
they're all so cool
When Nel was talking and Sasha was thanking people, I wonder if Nel read my comment to them? Cause I sent "Please tell Sasha and Aidan we love them!"
You're good! You were a bright shining personality even without audio!
Your personality shone through the screen even without a word xD
Wolfjack suggested tea and I just decided that sounded good.
She has an artstation tutorial, I'm buying that
it was yalls first stream, these things happen. was a good stream 🙂
At the same time?
Wait... You're eda??? :0
It was fine, we still could see the excitement! 😄
Hardly.
You were a shining star anyway 
It was fun with the whiteboard
But hey, GOOD THING I HAVE PRO COWORKERS THAT PICKED UP MY SLACK.
Legendary whiteboard
pffffft you're a pro too
The star of the show despite the lack of audio
you were amazing eda ❤️ !!
Onto the next fight endeavor! DEVELOPER ROUTINE, SET!
and backwards writing skillz
needed corn
You guys did great!
Nel I legit LOST IT when you actually picked up the whiteboard
Picked up your Slack... yes so did we all, from all the notification sounds over the hot mic while you guys were getting set up 😏
Indeed
backwards writing needs to be added to your resume
When Nel turned off her cam and everyone in chat immediately went NOOOO NEL COME BACK
I think you single-handedly made your game director say more words in 30 minutes than he's said in the past 30 years. But he was a fine translator. I hope he gets his rest now.
@distant oar You should set up a whiteboard at the inn ❤️ in your honor
Yep
lol
i support that
+1
Yeah Nel's whiteboard has to be in the game somehow, with one or two letters backwards just as a wink at the fans
and it just says hello backwards
#WhiteBoardGang
Yessss
Whiteboard
#WhiteBoardGang
Yesss
The legendary first stream of S6 ft. The Whiteboard
yes please!!! have a whiteboard in the game somewhere as an easter egg
yess
I support this idea
And a character who is an expert at writing backwards
As long as it's cleared by the lore people, of course
Whiteboard is the surprise guest
That's awesome!
there we go
That would be a neat Easter Egg
Yes, please make it an easter egg
Roumielen
Please do!
When do we get to romance the whiteboard?
Bonus points if no one is really sure where the whiteboard came from, as it's an artifact from ancient Human civilization.
Just have a sign written backwards instead if they have to
Ah true
I think you should auction off the whiteboard for charity, you'd get a bundle for it
I think it should specifically have one of Nel's messages onstream on it haha
😂
(Or dev costs)
It's in #game-suggestions.
it can say "we ❤️ you"
Perfect. XD
WHY
ARE YOU
SO CUTE
YOU KITTY CAT
YOU'RE A KITTY CAT CAT
AND YOU FARM FARM FARM AND YOU FARM FARM FARM
But mirrored
YES IT SHOULD SAY WE ❤️ YOU
I hope i got the credit for that one 😛
Customisable whiteboard with backwards writing?
but backwards yeah
Oh, unhappily married eh?
I did notice the heart was backwards 🙃
The Duchess???
Oooh Eshe is unhappily married, you know what that means
So...
UOY ❤️ EW
Thanks for getting this stuck in my head for the rest of the day 🤪
we are creating lore and i love it
Frenemies
@distant oar Sasha is not in this discord, correct?
Hey everyone! Any idea how many pre-alpha keys are gonna be given out?
unhappily married to the mayor
😔
Probably the reason she smokes. She likes her husband the way she likes her cigarettes, touched only with the end of a stick.
She probably has a different nickname here
1400
Eshe totally did not poison her husband the mayor
1400
So many
Thanks for the answer !
did not see in meet the team
Hoping I'm lucky for once since this game is looking so damn good
Doubt everyone is on discord
I thought it was very interesting that the team liked the green dress reminding them of poison... hints that Eshe might be as sinister as she looks
She could also be offline
Oh hey @coarse portal
Thanks for explaining the HOA thing
i hope they actually do the white board
Hey! 👋
That would be a super cute easter egg
Reminds me of a mix between stardew valley and animal crossing
Nel's sorting through questions now! And prealpha key applicants.
And managing every Palia social media page.
.......Is she doing ok?
Yeah 32000 people on this disc hoping for one so
I love the Eshe and tom nook comparison lol
Tom Nook is a crazy one....
#TeamEda/Nel for all the hard work of sorting through everything
Need to be super super lucky
team nel!!!!
Maybe we need to provide Nel with hydration and stretch checks
We'll all do a hopeful lucky dance
💃
Lets hope
"eshe is frenemies with the duchess"
the duchess?? 👀 👀
There's a duchess??
Nel is MVP
So what games do you guys play?
I am hype for the duchess
everything mentioned in #🎮│other-games 😄
frenemies to lovers? 👀
Currently Garden Paws, Hollow knight and Deponia
I look forward to Palia: Cozy farm simulator and intense political thriller
eshe's coat is hypnotising
slow burn
Stardew. A lot of stardew. Minecraft. Skyrim, civ 6
I'm really glad they just skipped the Discord stream altogether and went straight for Twitch... a lot less messy that way
Cool are you from the EU otherwise I might have a cool mc server 🙂
Nah I'm American
Skyrim and Fallout are literally what my backgrounds are for the monitors and its so pretty and calming
Damn bro you sharing a good Minecraft server?
Love to have a casual game thats why im too excited for Palia
lol @ "unhappily married"
If thats ok to do in dms then I will. Don't wanna get banned here haha
It's 3 am and I needs the beauty sleep
Goodnight folks!
Eshe is a Karen confirmed
Goodnight!!
Ikr, i play on a fun medieval one
Go for it, would like to play new Minecraft update.
But I'm excited for this game so much
3 AM here too... I should probably sleep....
Zeki I bet gets tired of explaining to Eshe that he is the manager
The update is coming to the server soon. We are updating plugins and all
Everyone wants to
UNHAPPILY married. Poor Eshe.
#governingClassProblems
Might be poor Mayor and not poor Eshe, we'll have to see
Doubt they are poor lol
At least she has fine jewelry to keep her happy
Oh Eshe would definitely ask to speak to his manager huh
I'm on team Eshe
Eshe can do no wrong, I'm convinced.
Eshe is such a Karen
what if the mayor is just a sweet loving Dad™️?
Exactly
the Duchess disagrees
The IMPLICATIONS of this character are just astounding y'all. We have so much to speculate on
Are we going to now need Discord roles for #TeamEshe and #TeamDuchess?
Did the stream have some spicy infos?
@lone crane I dmed you the server ip
we learnt so much dude
I can speak from experience and say that people can be unhappily married without anyone involved doing anything wrong.
ah...
I wanna know who her daughter is so bad
yes, we learned that Nel can write backwards, practically without errors
This is starting to remind me of Valorant lore, oh no
Like, this means Palia has a complex governmental structure, and a lot more is going on beneath the surface than we initially thought...
noms 🥨
I kind of wanted to see Nel do a Redrum joke
haha redrum
Gotta have townhall votes to build a community pool
:o
i feel like some people might not be satisfied with the stream but I can personally say it was absolutely worth staying up for
we posted theories in community-art.
Or... Theory.
One of happiest most chill hours of my life
I agree
afternoon all works over now my time to relax 🙂
With lore bits too!
the stream was so wholesome ❤️
Also Eshe "unhappily married", romance option confirmed 😏
did the stream end?
wait can I watch the stream somewhere?
Yep! It's over
did nel's mic evr come on?
That was my first thought too 🤣
And they said they're going to post the stream on YouTube later
The stream was pretty good and wholesome
Nop
Will be posted next week
aww lmao
they said some time next week
playPalia twitch, VoD should be there
damn I missed that
oh ok, thanks
Okay so like... Who do we think the "Duchess" is? Is there a capital city in Palia? Or is the Duchess a bigwig in a neighboring town, like Bahari?
@mystic gale today i shall be working on getting my botanist and some other profession leveled up
LOL maybe they can voice over and add in Nel for the youtube post
could be self-titled 😄
Excellent! I'm gonna at least get up to 39... maybe 40 just so I have a little buffer against your hustle X)
I'm so curious about the government system lol
Benevolent ____________
I mean, technically all governing bodies are self-titled at first
like @loud axle hereby you are the knight of hedge mazes...
yeah you may need that buffer im ngl
LORD, thank you very much
She sounds higher up than Eshe, maybe presides over a few towns
Duchess is pretty high up, if they're following real-world examples
Oh oh we back on amazeing hedge puns?
Hello all
this, is how communism was invented... I think
Yeah, which is why I feel like there must be a capital city in Palia then...
I wonder what's fueling their rivalry
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
we usually are.. they tend to follow a pattern
Whereas "Magistrate" is pretty low down that list
How many towns were there in Breath of the Wild?
keep your friends close, but keep your...well, you know the saying....chocolate hidden where no one can find it...
I wonder if we can romance ourselves into nobility
It was mentioned there are different cultures as well, maybe that means expansions to foreign places eventually
sailing skill confirmed??
So she appears to be the elf culture...are they saying elves may not truly be called elves quite yet?
6-8, iirc?
Do we know anything about the scale of the world?
True - when they say that the map is about the size of Breath of the Wild, I wonder if that means INITIALLY with expansion in the future, or eventually expanding to that size.
I heard he went off to live in Transylvania or something to live out a wagon
So should be about the same in Palia then. And we only know of two of them 😮
I think Nel said they're still in the process of naming her culture?
i think they said smaller to botw, but comparable
Yeah I hope so
The fact that Nel is personally going over the applicants makes me feel a bit better about the chances for the regulars and for people who wrote extremely indepth answers
let me know if she goes over mine
The purple skin was mentioned, a few but not all elf type characters share that
How would I know?
LOL
tho tbh having mine read publibly would be embarrasing
can't a duke have a small piece of land he rules over? i don't think nobles automatically live in capitols @loud axle
She's doing it on her own time omg if she did it on stream i'd freak out
ooooh i thought u meant she was going over pre-alpha application descriptions
on stream
I'm still so impressed she's reading them all
Nah in her own time
I mean, you wouldn't have been able to tell since my mic wasn't working xD
Yeah! how is she doing it????
botw was like 80 square mile or something I think... Palia could feel a lot bigger though because someone did the math and came up with Link can run like 167 mph. So if we can just get a good jog in Palia, it might feel twice as big
that is VERY true LOL
nel mine is the one about "fantasy life" and Free Realms huhu
Hi Nel!!! good luck with all the applications
Hello Everyone! Here’s a smiley face: 😃
Hope you don't go insane reading them all Nel
:)
Nel would have to write them all out backwards on a whiteboard
Arca, that's not hard once you get used to it
😄
the applications sound like such cute bedtime literature
writing backwards i mean
I'm assuming there's a fairly more reasonable number of the second questionnaire submissions than the first pre-alpha sign up submissions
I don't know. I have tried it before and it didn't go well
it was all a ploy for nel to get reading material
I'm stoked they announced the pre alpha this quickly
the first ones must be really fun to read though because it's feedback about palia
yeah it takes a few tries, but it's easier if you're used to reading backwards
20k reacts or so? 😛
for posterity's sake...anyone remember how high the amount of viewers went? I remember seeing over 300, but not sure if anyone noted the number.
good reading material = shadow & bones series pfffff
360ish?
356 was the most I saw I think?
I think its around 350?
yeah it was in the 350-360 range
more like 5.8k, im assuming the same people definitely just reacted to each emoji
360 was the highest i saw but i only checked about three times
ok, was just curious 😄
Surprisingly few
Cause no gameplay.
I was there :D
385 was the most i saw
More chance for us if they don't sign up
#WeWereThere
they said prior to the stream it would just be them revealing a new character ...
im so glad i caught the stream
It was worth it even if there wasnt any gameplay. We got lore and S6 shenanigans
Epic moment
Same, was worth staying up
Even though it wasn't gameplay it was still a great stream
Same
so i'm not surprised there was no gameplay, because it wasn't a part of the previous announcement
sameeeee
okay rin, time to go to bed now
Was an okay stream but man the one silent dev, how you gonna goof it up like that. 
It was worth it for Nel's whiteboard
I was glad it wasn’t just a constant blur of chat. It was nice being able to read most of the comments
It was a good stream, it's nice to be part of something
Palia was originally called Valeria (sp?)
she was trying🥺
Tonight I'll go back and watch the first 20 minutes I missed because of my meeting
Totally agree
Speaking as a fellow Aussie, you gotta get some sleep lol
KITTY DONT WANNA SLEEP
take a cat nap
sebastian too, bye bye now
Helloo
KITTY NO SLEEP
i wasn't asking. you're going to bed.

Oh me too! Want to share that with me then?
Holy shit guys Eshe feels like she knows ALL THE RUMORS of the village and we’re going to be plopped right in the middle of keeping up with the royalty Palia edition
kitty talk about palia NOW
i want to gossip with her over a cup of tea
Wonder if we'll have to take a side: Eshe or her husband 😮
Eshe will spill the tea
Oh its not a sleep deprivation headache its a "my psychiatrist told me to stop taking my antidepressants so i did and the withdrawal sucks" headache
She’s got all the juicy dark secrets
ooh headache feels way better after water too. thank you person who suggested that
Right? She has that vibe
bonk squad is about to play marriage counselor
imagine the dinner in that house.. Mayor: ..... Eshe: ..... Mayor: The brisket is a bit dry...
I want to help rekindle Eshe's love for the mayor as a side quest
I can’t wait to write a short story on Eshe
Mhm, mhm, mhm... And how does that make you feel?
Definitely OLD money vibes
Brisket's dry but the tea is PIPING HOT 🍵
Why make that worse though go bed
Eshe will tell us all about "back in the day..."
#spillThatTea
i want
PALIA
and i dont know why i replied to you on that Rin 😂
no worries spikey :)
Guess I'm off to watch the video on twitch!
Oh you made my name sound cuter, i think we start to bond there.... 😉
the urge to make Eshe fanart is STRONG
I do wonder what the lifespan of elves is like. How old is Eshe exactly?
Dew it
spikey spikey (:
Eshe probably has plenty of werthers originals in her small purse
Oh man, it’ll be Downton Abby
Those little strawberry candies
whats a werther
Hi
one never asks a lady Elf's age...
Then I am going to be obsessed with visiting her...
Watch me 😎
What's a cliff note?
grrr, always tag the wrong person, bwahaha
she probably has a little candy dish
chat is 2fast2palias..
butterscotch / caramel sweets
a cliff note is a sweet? hmm probably should try google
I've wondered about this, my husband has white streaks even though he looks young. Could be just a fashion thing tho
Eshe visits always result in you learning about ALL the town drama
nice! watch the VoD, worth it imho
The grandmother in Downton was pretty badass
hard candy original is caramel flavor
o
WAIT can we romance her? Inherit the MULA BABY
grandma candy
good fun, you have to see it
pebble digger
I wanna light her cigarette stick for her
That Old MONEY
pebble digger is so good
i wanna see what the mayor looks like now. is he equally poisonous? is he just a kindly old man?
Hmm so I wonder what's she's smoking ?
I feel like they'll be polar opposites
Wonder how many NPCs total we can expect to be meeting at launch. Stardew has... 40ish?
Herbal mix
Well goodnight everyone ❤️
night night
nn
Singularity 6 is 50x bigger than CuriousApe's studio
by which i mean him and his computer
i was gunna say hes still jksut one guy right lol
She’s not going to smoke, only burn Shimmerfly incense
afaik anyway
im excited to see what kind of fancy home customization stuff she has
oh boy i see ther was a lota technical difficulties at the stream
yeah but we persisted :D
Poor Nel was on mute the whole time but she still was a trouper
ima have to teach them how to stream hahaha
nel found a whiteboard somewhere
LOL
i still want whiteboard easter egg lollll
me toooo
I simp for whiteboard-chan
Hmm Nel's listening to Spotify
Think she's reading questions/applications rn?
It sounded like she dealt with more like real estate if I heard correctly, like possibly we can buy houses/land?
😳
practicing writing backwards on her whiteboard
pffft
the pre alpha keys are next week right
nel is always listenin to spotify
did they announce a date?
around then
around next Thursday-ish
they said "around a week from now" like yesterday
invites are going to be sent next week, however this does not mean the pre-alpha itself is next week.
the exact wording is in... #📢│palia-news i think
her music is always so good too! Very nice vibes
First they send the invitations, then the Palia extraction team comes and removes the pre-alpha testers from society.
think shes looking at social media, sorting through the questions channel, or looking at applications? or something else?
YAY! So glad I signed up!
I wish lol
the extraction team is made of chapaas
Chapaas in choppas
I am already removed so I have saved them a step 🤪
The chappas chuus who gets accepted I bet 
i feel really bad for missing the stream now T.T
It's still on Twitch. You can watch it still
i am, but its not the same as being there live
i tried to ping you and you were online but i thought you might still be sleeping cause you didnt respond
I always wonder what if a bad seed leaks the pre alpha to big publishers like IGN or MmoBomb etc.
There'll probably be more don't worry
ye i fell asleep with my phone up on youtube :c
They might, but it won't stop Palia from being a great game.
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
If you care about the game and the people behind it you just dont do stuff like that
That as well of course, but some people might not be convinced by that, so...
exactly, i dont see it happening
Either way chances are slim, especially if you're in such a small group of players
Places like IGN aren't likely to report stuff like that anyway, from people breaking NDA
And especially if you were handpicked by Nel
I do worry about it still there's some funny people in the world
There's tons of games being play tested with NDAs you never hear about
they will report if someone leaked and their butt gets sued, though
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.
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
Sure but that only hurts the leaker
If IGN ran the story the developer would probably be fussy about dealing with IGN in the future. They'd hurt their future ecosystem for a short term bump.
If they do they will miss out on a great game. I guess they will get an everlasting ban from the game at least
for some, clout is clout
Yup exactly. Establishment outlets like IGN are part of the machine, they're not going to rock the boat for a minor scoop like that
Not for info that everyone is going to eventually get anyway
^
I didn't make it, how many people watched the stream on twitch?
That's a good point, considering how much hype there is from everyone for the game that'd be enough to put us all off
I think around 350-ish?
360 or so
Not bad
The VOD is up still on their twitch it you wanna look
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.
And they didn't bother with Discord at all, which was for the best
stream says there was only 297 views
I definitely saw higher numbers than that
i think thats views of the video after the stream
I think those are from people who watched it after it ended
views does not equal live viewers
I definitely think an afternoon stream would have gotten more since people were likely at work
I work nights so the day stream was nice. 😂
theyd never get the perfect time with so many different timeszones that people hwere are in
True
I wonder if S6 are working remotely or if theyre back in their office now?
3 are in office, the rest are from home
Ah
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 thought the same thing, its such a cute name
I like a and ia sounds
Well since it's apparently pronounced "pay" lia... Idk
It makes me think of the study of human history, which is very fitting given the lore
And yeah, it's Pay-lia
-ia sounds are great, it has a fantasy feeling to it
He said it like Pale-ia
388 was the highest during the stream, i checked for you
yeah but the spelling looks like pal-ia i mean
It's deceptive lol
idk where you see that, it only shows me one static "total views" throughout
I recorded it on screen
Correct, pronounce it pal-ia
It makes me think of a wide, open sky filled with hazy colors with a twist of magic in the air and a scent of stone/chalk.
pay-lee-uh
Why must you fight the devs' own choices XD
I'll honestly probably keep saying Pah-lia until I play it or hear Pay-lia a bunch more
It feels more natural to me
The did have a thing on Twitter? A voice clip
i think i read it pay-lia at first so im fine LOL
I know. I saw.
they have it in discord here
Why does the internet fight the creator of gif on his pronunciation? Cause it's THE WRONG WAY
Also it's better marketing if it's PAL-IA
Gif? Like gift?
I'm like that too. It's just in your head in some way. In wow i said Uldum as Uldum only after i heard it in a video from blizzard as Uldoom, now the guild says uldoom.
I'm just saying, this feels more natural to me so until I hear it a bunch more I won't be able to change how I say it automatically
No like jif
Choosing mom's choose jif
twitchtracker dot com. enter playPalia, and see stats for the stream if you want 🙂
max viewers 372
Well the letter g and j are messed up in English
oh nice
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.
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.
Yup exactly.
Not the angry YouTuber reviewers going "this game is pay-lia to win-lia" or something dumb. COME ON GUYS OPEN YOUR MINDS EYE
so i slept through the stream
i just noticed something. nel's audio wasnt off, it was just VERY low
He also was trying to change decades' worth of practice retroactively, whereas we have the correct pronunciation of Palia from the beginning :)
Better than pal I suppose
super low nel audio....
nooo bean im so sorry
she coughed at one point and you could hear it faintly
theres still a vod on twitch if you want to watch it
Tell us about bean's dreams. chin in hands
scribbling in notebook and tell us - how did they make you feel?
@lone crane
If a youtuber went with that one, then it would, to me, seem like a desperate clickbait 😄
we thought that might have been headset audio
I could very slightly hear her talking at certain points
Had to be a bed of flowers
Is Eshe an Elf?
yes coudl you think it
I think all the humanoid NPCs are
let see, it was very black
the link will probably get removed
that was literally it i dont have dreams
We don't know the official race names yet but definitely elven/elf style
"It was a dark and stormy night." "And?" "And then I woke up."
ok im doing a lot of shaking so im gonnna uhhhhh head off
Thanks to Sasha we know they're Valerians ;)
thank you
im surprised they havent added vc channels to people can talk to eachother yet
my face is twitching...
good night catbell <3
Good idea that
voice channels would mean a moderator would have to be in the channel anytime there are people in voice
you mentioned it at some point
it would be very chaotic
oh
xD
I think we all know the real reason we don't have a voice channel. ||Rickrolling.||
gooo
true now only if people could behave them selfs
🐱 🔔
So I am keeping an eye on this game since I like some of the art and it seems like more of socialhub/exploration game, and I right in my assumption. Asking those who has been here for some time 🙂
watching self-realization unravel is a fascinating process
Been there done that, Nel Rickrolled @summer obsidian and I when we were listening to her Spotify 😛
a lot of people would behave, but theres always those few that ruin everything
Maybe one for testers as it'll be a smaller group
Classic
Will the game only be on pc? It looks super relaxing
Yes, it's a high fantasy life sim.
Alpha will only be PC
having never gonna give you up on spotify must be like always being in danger of rickrolling yourself
The pre-alpha is PC only but they are looking into other platforms for retail
They want to expand to other platforms! Mobile is a big goal for them
Splendid 🙂
the M question... I feel it
i really hope my 7year old laptop can handle this game lmfao
MY work attention span will suffer sooooo much when this goes to mobile
I dont know what the m question is
do you know your specs?
Go to settings and give us the specs
the m question is monetization. we dont talk about her here
oh
ohh
guys, settings is such a private question, the guy just met us...
there is no M in ba sing se
there is no M in ba sing se
there is no m in pay lee uh
i have to find them rq i dont know my specs
its not that deep my friend
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.
It's Mariana trench deep.
True, so long as it's not pay to win I'm happy
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.
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
I would def pay for cosmetics/pets/mounts though
their team is super responsive so i'm not too worried about it either
that's what I was wondering too
Maybe, but I don't mind if it's something people talk about from time to time. All interest is good interest in the game at this stage.
So now the multiplayer aspect is..interesting!
I just want to throw money at them asap
thousands of people have argued and given suggestions about what they do, its just too much at this point
Oh the old days, when monthly subs were not a bad thing.
the horse has been beaten
julia your pfp is very good. it's a ferret surprise because it looks like a puppy from afar :3
The horse was beaten by day 2 of this server
