[small hinge]

The horns in the inn look like it so, safe bet it was a big ol moose thing and those moose are called Omruu.. or just the leader lol

[warm plover]

do we have four cats now

[knotty crown]

OMG Ashura uses the power of DISAPPOINTMENT!!! xD He's so genre-savvy!

[worthy comet]

Could it give such a scar though?

[warm plover]

i dont remember what the horns in the inn look like and i cant really check rn :(

[novel locust]

oh so this is cats (2019)(deorgatory) now

[small hinge]

There’s a meme right?

[novel locust]

memmmrryyss all alonne in the mooonlight

[warm plover]

(derogatory) is such a good meme

[knotty crown]

@distant oar "Remembrance Garden" OMG Is that like the Memory Tower from Mabinogi? Do the elves in this game lose their memories too?!

[warm plover]

oh yeah the memes channel has a pic thanks for reminding me

[left pebble]

Quite a lot to pic up on here

[warm plover]

I'm of the opinion that the Remembrance Garden is a graveyard..

[left pebble]

Or something of the sort

[warm plover]

a very beautiful graveyard but a graveyard nonetheless

[ocean stone]

@warm plover re TWC, may need to ask someone with that tag idk

[left pebble]

Ex soldier too?

[warm plover]

👌

[knotty crown]

Well probably, I just had Mabi flashbacks xD

[novel locust]

the texas workforce commission

[ocean stone]

Ok I'm gonna go back to sleep. .. or working we shall see

[warm plover]

shamelessly promoting the lore question i put in #851872239435644928 again

[knotty crown]

Corpses aren't buried in coffins, just buried. That way they act as nutrients for the garden.

[left pebble]

Also, remember that Zeki is "close with the cook"

[warm plover]

Yah, thats what i was thinking

[left pebble]

Conflicting interests between zeki and ashura?

[knotty crown]

I'd ship it.

Y'know, because ? was the real winner I think we should get the cook revealed too!

[left pebble]

That and apparently the deer are called Ormuu?

[knotty crown]

Ormuuuuuuu!

Ormuuffins, get yours now!

[worthy comet]

Yikes

Scary

[warm plover]

oh i thought they were the yaks but maybe deer makes more sense?

[knotty crown]

They're just muffins! But Ormuu-themed, with little antler icing! ❤️

[versed sail]

I can make this happen.

[left pebble]

Chapaaburguers are back mwahahaha

[worthy comet]

Yea but the way you say it sounds like you made muffins from ormuu... I'm sorry for thinking too much

[knotty crown]

Yes, just like how Unicorn fraps are made from unicorns.

[worthy comet]

Unicorn what?

[knotty crown]

Starbucks fraps that are basically pure sugar.

[worthy comet]

Oh that

[serene stratus]

Mmm sugar

[knotty crown]

this https://hips.hearstapps.com/del.h-cdn.co/assets/17/16/1492533200-unicorn-frappuccino-1492513921_2.jpg

[serene stratus]

I usually get a chai frappuchino

[worthy comet]

Hmm looks like a lot of sugar but also tasty

[carmine relic]

I will eat pure sugar, I don't care if it kills me

[knotty crown]

I legit can't have something with too much sugar. It's getting harder and harder to drink sodas now because of that. I just can't stand the taste of sugar itself anymore.

[worthy comet]

Sad

[noble olive]

Is honey an issue too??

[versed sail]

I learned to bake because desserts and such are way too sweet for my liking!

[cobalt adder]

Almost the same here. I really cannot have sugar past say 5pm or my sleep will be all messed up

[buoyant nimbus]

I gone accepted into the alpha! I've filled out the NDA now I'm just waiting on the next part. I cant wait to try Palia!

[brittle lance]

You mean test Palia, right 😛

[bright forge]

[worthy comet]

wow now i feel sad again that i haven't been chosen for the pre-alpha 😢

[versed sail]

Hang in there! We still have lots of testing to come!

[worthy comet]

true it's just pre-alpha. normal alpha comes after

[warm plover]

Maybe we'll get another shot

[brittle lance]

Ofc. you will Rin

[shadow birch]

I’ve been given the power to talk!

Hello neighbors

[hollow tendon]

Welcome

[surreal crest]

hello new friend!

[spark falcon]

They will have to stresstest servers eventually

[celest maple]

Plus...this is pre-alpha. We still have alpha AND beta testing.

[versed sail]

Probably multiple phases of each!

[arctic onyx]

the best test is when a big streamer hops on the game and all of their stream snipers follow suit

[warm plover]

and then we all ignore that server like the plague

[arctic onyx]

exactly

until more streamers start pouring in and all of the servers get loaded

[warm plover]

and i hide in my corner

[worthy comet]

same

or in my neighborhood

[daring fox]

HI everyone

[arctic onyx]

hello!

[serene stratus]

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood

[arctic onyx]

good timezone to you too jadziyah

[cobalt adder]

I will admit I've joined a few open-Beta stress tests to basically see if it's a game I want to play. If I apply for Alpha or closed Beta testing it means I have some passion for the IP or something the game promises.

[arctic onyx]

oh i just like applying because it's fun messing around with a buggy mess

finding every possible way to break the game

[spark falcon]

Same

[worthy comet]

oh do we have a spiffing brit?

[arctic onyx]

who's the spiffing brit?

[cobalt adder]

I did that with Conan Exiles. But how could one break a broken game? 😏

[arctic onyx]

we shall not speak of that game 💀

[worthy comet]

someone who tries to break games every way possible and get random and funny stuff out of it (youtube)

[arctic onyx]

ahhhh

i wish lmao, i just do it for my own amusement

[brittle lance]

S6 has said that they don't wish the testers to try and break the game. They want new players to play for longer periods of time

[warm plover]

ah spiff i know that guy

[worthy comet]

yey

[peak jetty]

I can already see the youtube videos:

Palia is a Perfectly balanced game! Catching 30000 sea bass per minute!

[knotty crown]

No. The issue isn't "sugars", but "sugar". I can handle sweet things, but not too much actual sugar. It's a taste thing. I can actually taste sugar itself now as sugar.

[worthy comet]

true, true

[manic minnow]

true

[arctic onyx]

understandable, but i am still one to believe that a game should be put to its limits

[knotty crown]

New avi is nice.

[warm plover]

thanks

[brittle lance]

They have their own tester do that, as far as I know. But where we can help, is using our own time for longer periods in the game. So they don't have to waste money on that. Or time their tester could use better

[cobalt adder]

One thing I did like about Conan exiles was their sustainability with cosmetic DLC'S, building types, armor, ect. If you didn't like the DLC theme, you just didn't buy it. One could also still use, via trading, DLC items even if you didn't buy the DLC, but your clanmate did

[arctic onyx]

i feel like they should've gone down the rust path, of free updates with a skin shop

[arctic onyx]

i guess that does sound like a solid plan

[brittle lance]

But if you really want to push the game to it's limits. I'm sure its fine. As long as it's not the main focus of most of us 🙂

[cobalt adder]

My old Conan clanmates are trying to get me to play Rust. But I think I'm past that style of game, which is why Palia is appealing to me

[coarse shell]

https://tenor.com/view/let-me-in-eric-andre-wanna-come-in-gif-13730108

[arctic onyx]

i wonder how far you could min max palia

[worthy comet]

i hope there is gonna be some good operating player based economy

[arctic onyx]

rust is a very time consuming game, I've sunk around 1.2k hours into it

it's also very unforgiving for new players, not much room to make mistakes

I plan on making palia my side game where i could just log on and chill for a bit

[knotty crown]

Yes, this is called QA - Quality Assurance.

However, QA does not catch everything.

[arctic onyx]

i just hope i can take the game at my own pace because i strongly dislike playing two games that employ fomo

[bright forge]

That's the part that CD-project RED messed up in Cyberpunk 2077

[arctic onyx]

I'd rather one be chill and the other be a hardcore fomo mess lmao

[arctic onyx]

CD projekt deliberately chose not to hand out console review copies

[knotty crown]

There are some things you can only discover if thousands of players are playing, and maybe one of them will trigger an issue. Which is one reason why pre-alphas and sometimes alphas have NDAs, because if there's something 1/X,000 of a chance to find that is gamebreaking and it reaches the public, it can damage the game's reputation.

[arctic onyx]

it was a devious mess

[bright forge]

That's another mistake

[small hinge]

Lunch time

[arctic onyx]

cyberpunk needed at least 2 more years in the oven

[bright forge]

Yep

[cobalt adder]

I try to play games to de-stress in the evenings, but some games (most even) had the opposite effect (looking at you Overwatch matchmaking system). I want to grow flowers and have an apiary in game while I sip a 20 year old port

[knotty crown]

They probably wanted to stop leaks/pirating, but let's be honest - you can't stop pirating, especially not when you release games on devices with actual OSs so pretty much anyone can hack them in every way possible.

Which is why Switch was so easy to hack.

[rapid aurora]

Love that ashura gave us so much potential info lore wise

[worthy comet]

indeed

[knotty crown]

Maybe he's a war vet.

[small hinge]

i feel a little guilty about the ❓ now

[rapid aurora]

War vet turned inn owner is a great origin story

[worthy comet]

and mourning about someone that he lost

[arctic onyx]

i agree to some extent, but for me personally i am a very competitive player and i love challenging others in skill based duels

[serene stratus]

But what war then? 🤔

[worthy comet]

i guess we have to find out

[knotty crown]

Honestly, tho, Ashura's scars, his broom being a sword, visiting the remembrance garden... What the heck was so "dangerous" that it led to all of this? Palia is supposed to not be dangerous to players.... It brings up so many questions.

[arctic onyx]

they did say humans have been gone for a long time, perhaps it was a war between humans and elves?

[serene stratus]

Is this like an Avatar situation, that could be interesting. Would explain the no humans

[worthy comet]

well a race did disappear 1000 years ago so it isn't that save apparently

[deft sonnet]

ASHURA DAY!!!

[rapid aurora]

How old would ashura be then?

[arctic onyx]

elves tend to live longer than humans in fantasy

[worthy comet]

unless the guy is alive for 1000 years i don't think so

[arctic onyx]

so idk, maybe 500 years?

[knotty crown]

If it was so long ago that humans were practically gone forever as far as the elves knew, then why does he still carry a hidden sword?

[worthy comet]

but i thought the same lol

[cobalt adder]

Maybe the elves fought off whatever it was that made the humans leave

[rapid aurora]

Is it a hidden sword or did he turn his sword into something more useful after the war

[bright forge]

Or between elves and something that humans were ruing from?

[arctic onyx]

unless humans faced a different kind of calamity and the survivng humans simply evolved over millions of years into elves?

[knotty crown]

Man, my fanfic idea about Ashura being chased by the Olde Wyrd... yo seems more legit now lol

[worthy comet]

he turned it into something useful

[knotty crown]

Probably this.

[serene stratus]

I like the Avataresque idea and am going to run wildly with it now

[warm plover]

i think this is more plausible
he probably just kept the hilt and repurposed it imo
the blade being hidden inside the broom would be weird as hell

[worthy comet]

but it happend 1000 years ago they woudn't have enough time unless there was outside help

[knotty crown]

pink goo?

[serene stratus]

Lucius Malfoy keeps his wand hidden inside a cane in Harry Potter

[arctic onyx]

yo what's that etched onto his necklace

[worthy comet]

they say he repurposed it right?

[bright forge]

Canesword?

[warm plover]

a wand doesnt scrape the ground whenever you put it on the floor

[knotty crown]

a name probably, that's Pal language

[worthy comet]

something with interesting properties would have to cause something like that

[arctic onyx]

hmm

[knotty crown]

We've seen the pink goo tho, maybe it mutated them.

[warm plover]

yes, the word used is repurposed

[small hinge]

its simply repurposed.. was a sword, made it into a broom for his shop probably hasnt seen combat since

[arctic onyx]

and do his tattoos mean anything, they have a very tribal/aztec look

[worthy comet]

hmm this is fun to think about

[serene stratus]

And then what happened to his left eye? 👀

[arctic onyx]

i need to look at all the characters now

[worthy comet]

yea he has a scar from some battle

[bright forge]

I hope we will be able to get tattoos in game

[knotty crown]

One is an hourglass, the other is waves.

[worthy comet]

wait didn't someone else have a hourglass as neckless?

[knotty crown]

He could have been a sailor.

[warm plover]

tamala has an hourglass necklace yes

[bright forge]

Tamala

[worthy comet]

right thanks

could it be that the hourglass means something important for that race?

[cobalt adder]

When I was a wee lad, one of my parents friends had a lot of cane's. One had a hidden flask, and another the handle did twist off to reveal a "punch dagger"

[knotty crown]

Hourglass must reference an organization of some kind, or something very culturally important, although I haven't seen any images of hourglass statues or anything.

[arctic onyx]

tamala has an hourglass necklace that matches ashura's tattoo

[knotty crown]

Maybe they're "Timekeepers" - people that knew Humans would come back?

[serene stratus]

Or they could just be for timekeeping, since we don't know the tech level of this civilization fully

[knotty crown]

You can't actually keep time with a tattoo.

[worthy comet]

nah wasn't it said that everyone was suprised that they returned

[bright forge]

or maybe some deity?

[peak jetty]

Maybe they own a clock shop

[worthy comet]

haha

[knotty crown]

Now that would be cool.

[celest maple]

A time deity would be cool. ☺️

[knotty crown]

Everyone was surprised, but some of them could've been faking it.

[worthy comet]

i guess, that would make the plot thicken

[serene stratus]

Sounds like the TVA is involved 🐊

[peak jetty]

Time diety speaking to Ashura: "You've gotta go back and make sure you lose the villager vote, by not voting for ❓ , you've delayed the game's release by 2 years!"

[worthy comet]

oh no

[bright forge]

Like we don't know anything about Palia religions (beside Chuu and XX:08 cults)

[worthy comet]

is palia the country or the world?

[bright forge]

World I think?

[worthy comet]

then we don't know a lot about the world...

[arctic onyx]

what if there are elven tribes that worshipped these places of ruin but tuey are actually just built by humans

[knotty crown]

But not like Kronos or Akatosh, who are supreme deities. Maybe just a normal level deity, like Xelor.

[cobalt adder]

Palia Is

[small hinge]

Could be like the aztec calendar, except it was a date said that humans would disappear and they did, and they thought that was the end, turns out its just a cycle?

[worthy comet]

then where did the elves come from?

[serene stratus]

I like this thinking outside the box

[arctic onyx]

and our player is the champion of azeroth that mist break the cycle
!

[worthy comet]

oh i like that

[arctic onyx]

i really dislike the chosen one archetype in mmos

i don't feel chosen if everyone around me is also the chosen one

[small hinge]

I am the 1 true angler sorry

[bright forge]

same I hate to be chosen one

[peak jetty]

I am the chosen angler

[worthy comet]

fair i hadn't thought of it like that

[peak jetty]

Y'all will never catch as much sea bass as I

[noble olive]

I like the idea like in Spiderman, where anyone can be special if they choose to step up to it though
Kinda a nice community vibe, ya know?

[knotty crown]

What I meant by Xelor, from Dofus:

Xelor is the master of Time. He is responsible for the Divine Clock, which sets the rhythm for the World's time. His face remains covered, hidden under a large pointy hat, and his hammer is stamped with the seal of the infinite. He looks threatening, and it's a good thing, as the demons of the hours, who love to kill time by being mischievous, might have misbehaved even more otherwise! Just like his disciples, he wears wrappings, except that his crumble to dust as soon as he moves...

So he's not a supreme deity, just a deity whose duty is based on maintaining the stability of time. Would be a cool type of deity to have in Palia.

[arctic onyx]

friendly village chapaaman

[bright forge]

When everybody is special no one is( insert Syndrome meme)

[knotty crown]

One reason why I loved RS2 but hate RS3. How the flip is everyone the World Guardian?

[peak jetty]

It's a big world, you need many guardians

[serene stratus]

Animal Crossing has put me off of sea bass for life

[arctic onyx]

When everybody is op then no one is (insert the entire destiny franchise)

[versed sail]

Cod you be more competitive? 🐟

[cobalt adder]

I want the world of Palia to live and breathe with or without me. Time has meaning

[knotty crown]

Plot-wise, there's only one.

[worthy comet]

maybe not like a chosen thing but a event where everyone has to do something thogether to protect the land or something

[arctic onyx]

it's my only gripe with ffxiv, being a warrior of light

[serene stratus]

[knotty crown]

And the world having its own "world clock" ie its own "time" that can be disturbed, would be pretty cool.

[peak jetty]

Palia environmental cleanup event: Fish up the most old tires to get the golden tire trophy for your house.

[versed sail]

I sea this lot does not appreciate fish puns.

[arctic onyx]

oh destiny had a lot of those events in its past

[worthy comet]

we are probably diving too deep but hey

[knotty crown]

Pretty sure it's not that kind of ancient human civilization.

[arctic onyx]

like the ancients in sea of thieves, they were masters at magic and were able to shroud themseleves in a safe haven

[cobalt adder]

Don't carp on about the lack of good fish puns

[worthy comet]

you don't do it alone but as a group do a objective

[small hinge]

safe to assume environmental responsibility is lacking in humans of any world

[arctic onyx]

nobody could cross the devil's shroud as it would actually melt your skin off

[knotty crown]

I'm going to bereef you of your joking privileges.

[worthy comet]

that wasn't...

[knotty crown]

Let's not go there, okay?

[worthy comet]

wow i made a joke while not realizing that i made a joke...

[small hinge]

Sure thing

[surreal crest]

[arctic onyx]

is there a link to all of the palia art in one place?

[cobalt adder]

A lot of clamor about fish puns?

[knotty crown]

[warm plover]

i have no idea who that is but thank you 👍

[limber spade]

why did they say that Ashura won when it was a tie? 🧐 I wanted to see ❓ but also give ashura some love

[bright forge]

❓ was a LIE! HAHAHAHAH

[worthy comet]

... can someone explain being part of the coven for me... 😳

[warm plover]

❓ was ashura all along

[wide zealot]

I love how Ashura repurposed a sword to be a broom, there's some poetry in there

[bright forge]

It's just a thing because a lot of folk here wanted to be a witch

[small hinge]

can we get Ashura holding 🍰 with ❓ above it plz

[limber spade]

change of lifestyle but his loyal sword stayed by his side

[warm plover]

oh its just bc dreams name is witch of fatherhood cause some other people have "witch of x" or "x witch" in their names
so i think the joke is that all the witches are part of a coven

[worthy comet]

ah thank you

[warm plover]

why did i say dream i meant dad
i think im tired

[limber spade]

cats should sleep 20h a day

[celest maple]

[bitter void]

hello!

[spring nebula]

good afternoon gamers 😎

or night of morning

[blazing sail]

Goodevenin'

[merry crater]

Heya everyone! How's today been treating you all?

[versed sail]

[versed sail]

I'm too warm! Blech!

[merry crater]

Oh bleh. Stay cool. Stay hydrated.

[bright forge]

38C fever

[merry crater]

Oh deng is only 24C here.

[little silo]

Big oof

[versed sail]

Stop being warm!

[merry crater]

Wait you sick!?

[bright forge]

vaccine

[little silo]

Greetings Citizens.

[merry crater]

Ahhhh.

[versed sail]

Ohh you'll be okay ❤️

[bright forge]

I know

[bright forge]

[merry crater]

Greetings. Now I'm wondering what the weather in Palia would be like. Gotta stay on topic XD

[versed sail]

I know you know! 😄

[bright forge]

I know that you know that I know

[versed sail]

That was more for me. You'll be okay, so I don't need to worry.

[versed sail]

I really hope there are thunderstorms!!! And snow!

[merry crater]

Oooo I love storms. Maybe they'll have my favorite weather phenomenon: Thunder Snow!!!

[little silo]

You will be feeling better in no time.

But in the event you don't, our facilities are on standby to convert your grey matter into an imperial cognitator servitor if necessary.

[muted sail]

I have never encountered Thunder snow but holy heck I need to now lmao

[merry crater]

It's really cool. I'm sure there's videos of it on the interweb.

[deft sonnet]

How is everyone Ashura day!!

[merry crater]

Ashura finally has his time in the spotlight!!! Though I wonder what follow up they would've had for ❓

[little silo]

I voted for the mystery box...

[versed sail]

It's amazing!

[marble hedge]

What's in the box!?

[deft sonnet]

Nothing

[little silo]

More Ashura apparently

[versed sail]

If it's a severed head I'm going to be very upset...

[deft sonnet]

They just wanted to release ashura so she put the question mark as joke

[little silo]

Well, its just a finger so I guess you will be pleased

[versed sail]

Whew!

[merry crater]

My phone's dying so I gotta dip. Have a good time everyone!

[versed sail]

Wouldn't it be cool if you could catch different bugs and fish while it's raining?

[marble hedge]

♪♫ I'm only happey when it rains♫♪

[brittle lance]

S6 already said that this is a thing, at least with fishing

[little silo]

Actually yeah that would be an excellent mechanism for more than just fishing.

[versed sail]

I'm gunna go grab something to eat. I'll be back!

[brittle lance]

Happy noms

[little silo]

Could do something akin to Pokémon Go where certain things (plants, animals, events?) Are more likely in certain weather events...

[marble hedge]

Well now I want rare events to have rare fish... like a solar eclipse or something

[little silo]

visions of terreria blood moon

[marble hedge]

No no... blood moon is where the fish catch you...

[little silo]

Fair point.

Any speculation on the lore reveal behind Ashura's sword broom and his visits to the remembrance garden? Sounds to me like he is a war veteran, which implies that Palia has had wars in it's recent history...

[buoyant heath]

Oh there has been a LOT of speculation today

[little silo]

Oh goodie I guess I missed it then.

[buoyant heath]

#🎭│palia-memes message

[little silo]

Oh wow. I am submitting my endorsement to have you canonized as a Saint!

[worthy comet]

haha, but yes he has a scar on his eye and has changed his sword into a broom so he seems to be a vet

it also sounds like the garden is a graveyard and that he is mourning someone's death

[little silo]

Remembrance gardens aren't necessarily graveyards... a bit like a war memorial, but yeah similar sentiment.

But! This is the first real hint of extended lore into the history of Palia's history that we have seen yet! I MUST have more!

[worthy comet]

also he has a hourglass tattoo on his arm just like tamala has a hourglass around her neck

maybe something to do with their culture

oh and he has a ring around his finger as if he is married

[brittle lance]

A ring on the finger don't have to mean that your are married in Palia

[little silo]

Thought provoking. What further significance do hour glasses hold in Palian culture...

[worthy comet]

no but that was the discussion earlier today

it was also a thought for us as for what different values they have

[brittle lance]

I, at least, don't want to assume stuff like that. Because even her IRL we do things very differently depending on culture or religion.

[marble hedge]

The ring is on the wrong finger, assuming the same conventions apply

[worthy comet]

well in the gif it was on the right finger we don't know why but kinda presume old design

#🐦│social-feed message

[clever glen]

Second wave done?

[worthy comet]

yea\

[halcyon nebula]

yeah

[tribal zenith]

why there isnt any video of gameplay ?

[marble hedge]

There isn't any gameplay yet

[worthy comet]

because of nda

no one's allowed to share video's or other content

[tulip wagon]

It's so quiet...

[arctic onyx]

i might doze off to sleep

good night everyone, stay safe!

[worthy comet]

i will gn

oh wow timing gn

[mossy hull]

How is everyone doing?

[marble hedge]

Hello, my name is Wippit, and I'm a non-alpha spouse. It has been 4 days since I lost my wife to pre-alpha. I now have to suffer through sudden exclamations of "that is sooo cool!" without being able to know what it is.

[wicked bough]

I would be going insane.

[opaque pilot]

How can you even avoid looking at her screen? 😄

[heavy dew]

Marriage counceling after this

[sullen bison]

Yeah that would be hard!

[marble hedge]

We actually sit on a sofa with two mobile desks. She angles hers so she sits against the armrest, so I can't see her screen.

[brittle lance]

I bet she is sitting under a rug 😅

[heavy dew]

hahaha that's good ^

[calm plume]

That sounds miserable

[marble hedge]

I just wish she didn't have the habit of making "oh neat!" comments out loud.

[heavy dew]

"Excuse you could you enjoy that in silence please!" xD

I feel for you, I really do, I would be going nuts

[marble hedge]

I need to put on a headset with some loud music I think

[heavy dew]

Blasting: HELLO DARKNESS MY OLD FRIEND?

[marble hedge]

The Disturbed version would fit..

[heavy dew]

And in the laptop light I saw... 1400 maybe more..

[brittle lance]

OK i have a plan... When shes away for a snack or whatever, because you are not gonna get her one with that treatment, you install a program to record her screen and turn it on. Then the next time shes away or asleep. You can have all the fun 😄

[heavy dew]

[marble hedge]

I won't violate her NDA.

[brittle lance]

She did nothing wrong 😛

But you would!

[heavy dew]

I mean it's kind of like jobs that have classified information, you can't look at it or they'd lose their jobs

[marble hedge]

Yeah, but I wouldn't be interested in her job... I am in the game

[brittle lance]

Come on guys it was a joke. It would never work anyway 😅

[heavy dew]

Aren't we all xD

We know it's a joke silly, just gotta shut you down so people who read it know too ;3

they're watching 👀

[brittle lance]

Hmm... I'll accept that reason 😛

[marble hedge]

♪♫ Every breath you take... every post you make... ♫♪

[brittle lance]

And by "they" you mean 🦆 👀 🐢 👀

[heavy dew]

And all the.. looks left, looks right .. lurkers 👀

[brittle lance]

Is it just me or is that list of S6'ers getting bigger and bigger?

[surreal crest]

char's battery is getting low

[marble hedge]

I just wonder who some of the S6ers areally are...

[brittle lance]

Have a look at #🌟│hidden-meet-the-sixers 🙂

[marble hedge]

I did... some of them are not very public.

[brittle lance]

I agree

[sullen bison]

I haven't ever been "involved" with a game this early before, is it usually a long time between pre-alpha, to alpha, to beta?

[heavy dew]

To be fair, neither are we

[brittle lance]

Shhhh 👀

[celest maple]

Hello cuties.

This is the daily reminder that cabbages are the gucciest of veggies and need to be in the game. Make it happen, dev team.

[brittle lance]

🥬 💨

[marble hedge]

I think the earliest I was in was a relatively unknown game called Earth and Beyond... unless Minecraft counts...

[heavy dew]

It really varies, some beta or alpha periods last a week, some 2, some days, the time between is entirely dependent on the game and the development rate, but they'll be very clear with the announcements about timeframes when they're ready to announce it, it's all in #📢│palia-news

Time between can be anything from month to year, it really fluctuates to much to get even an estimate without official word

[dusty cargo]

Helloooo

[sullen bison]

Ah gotcha, thanks! My brain was like "so will it be a year... Two...." Total noob at this side of things hehe

[deft sonnet]

happy ashura day

[brittle lance]

Hey @distant oar Sorry to bother you but what happened to ❓ We have been fighting to keep it a tie for more than two days. That is how big it is to this community. Please share ❓ whit us

[surreal crest]

yeah, still waiting for ❓ mark reveal

[heavy dew]

That's fully understandable! All we have is this so far: #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha message but there is no date so it's all prone to change @sullen bison

[merry crater]

No riots over ❓ pls. You'll leave Ashura disappointed.

[brittle lance]

Awww... Our family have become to big 😦

[dusty cargo]

@deft sonnet wooooooo!!

[deft sonnet]

❓ wasnt anything just a joke cause Ashura was the only villager in the vote

[dusty cargo]

Ashura is cute 10/10 would date

[shadow talon]

Dear oh dear, I seriously need to get myself more active in this server.

[deft sonnet]

SameDude

[brittle lance]

No she promised she would make a char card for ❓

[peak escarp]

I just made myself some brunch and as I was making it I kept thinking of how awesome it would be to make food in the game!

[deft sonnet]

i am 85% sure that was sarcastic

[merry crater]

I heard rumors of this card. Maybe it'll be a bonus later. they've got a lot going on rn.

[peak escarp]

It would be so awesome if we can be chefs and bakers!

I would also love to make food in my own home’s kitchen!

[shadow talon]

Anna please, I can barely contain my excitement just thinking about being able to make food in general.

Why must you hype me up more....

[peak escarp]

I’m sorry!

[shadow talon]

😂

I wonder if there will be familiar looking food.

Or will it all be unique and cultural according to Palia.

[merry crater]

I searched for the convo regarding the card since I wasn't here for it.

Seems maybe legit lol

[brittle lance]

[heavy dew]

At least we made Nel happy

[merry crater]

Home kitchen pls.

[shadow talon]

Drats, I asked my question already and now I can't ask another one. 😭

[brittle lance]

It is. but now I cant find it

[merry crater]

I had to scroll a little.

[heavy dew]

Petition that the first person to master cooking in game gets to go to other people's houses and call it kitchen nightmares

[shadow talon]

I'll need to keep a note on the cultural/Palia oriented food idea...

[merry crater]

Is it something you think just the devs could answer or might we other Palians have the deets you needs?

[brittle lance]

"Are you a chapaa sandwich?!"

[shadow talon]

Oh I say it's a question but it's more of a personal thought in regards to it... Fret not.

[heavy dew]

The bread is moldy! Who would eat something like this?! - "e...einar?"

[sullen bison]

Thanks! That answered a lot of questions all in a row :D

[shadow talon]

I was rather curious if food would be "similar" or "Palia cuisine only".

[merry crater]

Ooo i wonder that too.

Like real world recipes.

[light yew]

So what is the news on mobile/ipad version of this game? I am really hoping there is one

[heavy dew]

No news, PC is focus atm

[sullen bison]

I think it's said somewhere that they want to in future but it's not happening yet

[heavy dew]

I'll see if I can dig up a more official answer

[shadow talon]

Like say French Toast. Would it be a thing in Palia or would it have a 'Alien' (I say this with reason) type of chicken which has a unique egg and a unique type of grain/bread and recipe.

[peak escarp]

Omg I would love that so much!

[shadow talon]

Food for thought.

[light yew]

I hope everything goes alright with that and then they might make it we have genshin and it is so nice to play with portable devices

[merry crater]

That feels like a common concept for fantasy games. Where its irl foods with a slight twist.

[sullen bison]

nods

[shadow talon]

Yeah, which I honestly hope wouldn't be a thing.

[heavy dew]

Will it come to consoles or stay on PC?
The Pre-Alpha is going to be on PC. Player experience is super important for us at the studio (it's actually our first core value), so we plan on expanding to other consoles as soon as possible.

[shadow talon]

Uniqueness in food which describes the history and origin of the planet and it's resources.

[heavy dew]

^ found in #❔│game-faqs

[sullen bison]

I have some cool cookbooks for game food to make irl, so a Palia version would be fun too :D

[light yew]

!!!! I hope it's soon 😭

[heavy dew]

[shadow talon]

Honestly, food in general describes the history and culture throughout the ages in a place.

Let's hope it becomes a thing in Palia.

[peak escarp]

Omg yes! I would love that so much!

[light yew]

Have you guys seen the channel food historian?

[merry crater]

Such a meta food convo. Nice.

[peak escarp]

Fooooood!
I love food so much!

[light yew]

Very interesting and informative videos about historical foods

[halcyon nebula]

With the so said 'paths' u take in palia i see myself totes investing all my time in cooking

[shadow talon]

😅 What can I say... It's a favourite topic of mine.

[light yew]

There is a cool nordic one called dragons heart

[shadow talon]

Now imagine it with this. Fishing now used in cooking.

[heavy dew]

Food is a favorite passtime of mine

[halcyon nebula]

especially if theyve got a fun mechanix for it

[light yew]

I live eating food but my skills are. . . Let's just say I manged to burn soup

[shadow talon]

Ooo, I just had an idea, indigenous fruits made into a type of jam in Palia which you could sell.

[sullen bison]

Honestly, I think this has made me more interested about Palia food. I hadn't really thought much on it before but now I'm really excited to see what it might be! (And figure out making some at home :D )

[peak escarp]

I would love that so much!

Like I can just imagine a nut, berry cake from the game!

[heavy dew]

a what cake? 👀

[peak escarp]

A cake with nuts and berries lol

[shadow talon]

'Fruit cake' which is celebrated in a season of Palia which is similar to Christmas or something.

[brittle lance]

The cake is a lie...

[sullen bison]

We all want cake now

[heavy dew]

Dont put me in pie plz

[sullen bison]

Too late

[peak escarp]

Lol

[lusty berry]

Einar brings Pebble Cake to the party

[shadow talon]

I wonder what type of nut would be common in Palia or what it would be called.

Oop- No Nitro.

[peak escarp]

Fruity muffins in Palia!

[lusty berry]

i think chestnut would be cute

[shadow talon]

Wait. Wait. Chest nut type of creature.

[peak escarp]

Ooooh chestnut!

[merry crater]

These are the creative questions I'm sure someone on the dev team has had to ask

[peak escarp]

Or maybe they will make the name up?!

[sullen bison]

Questionut

[shadow talon]

'Hard Stone'.

[merry crater]

World building

[peak escarp]

That sounds so cute omg! And the berries can look like pebbles!

[peak escarp]

Yeeeeees! I love it so much hehehe!

[limber spade]

hello

[brittle lance]

Off from work?

[peak escarp]

Hello hello! 👋

[shadow talon]

I could imagine this. "The folk in Palia talk about an elusive creature, described as round, brown with 2 legs and 2 arms, short and stubby and yet fast... Should it be found then it could bring you great luck in your foraging... Who knows what this creature is? Some call it a "Knockwood elf" and a "Berry dwarf", nobody knows... And that is how the legend goes."

[peak escarp]

I just saw this HAHAHA I love it so much!

[limber spade]

yup ^^

[brittle lance]

Welcome back 😄

[limber spade]

my last pause :v

[peak escarp]

Omg imagine a daily where you help squirrels/chipmunks help find nuts!

And like berries for other creatures!

[brittle lance]

That's late tho ain't it? Your from EU right

[limber spade]

and as the reward u can pet them 🤩

[sullen bison]

[limber spade]

yep, i work till 2 am

[merry crater]

That would be lovely

[peak escarp]

Yesssss!

[sullen bison]

Yes! That would be fab!

[surreal crest]

and you actually have a statistic in your character overview saying how many pets you got so far

[peak escarp]

Ooooooh!

[limber spade]

ohh yea

[brittle lance]

Perhaps when you have helped them enough, they will occasionally leave a small pile of random nuts on your doorstep

[shadow talon]

👀 I'm actually really curious with how the lore would come out with what I just said.

[surreal crest]

after 100 pets you can adopt one.

[hollow tendon]

I am really curious about how the pet system. is going to work in the game.

[peak escarp]

That sounds SO cute! 🥺🧡

[limber spade]

and if u did it 1000 times you would get a special title

[surreal crest]

"Platinum Pats"

[shadow talon]

'Pet Commander'.

[chilly locust]

thatd be adorable, and you could use the nuts to make special breads and cakes and stuff aaaaaa

[lost lintel]

a

[peak escarp]

AH YES!

[brittle lance]

<The Critter Patter>

[limber spade]

I would also love if we could make a bowl outside our house and leave there goodies so wild animals could come and eat it

[peak escarp]

Omg I would love titles!

[sullen bison]

Critter Patter is adorable!

[shadow talon]

I just thought of the Onomatopoeia "Pitter patter" then it became "Petter Patter".

[limber spade]

titles are a must-have in every mmo

[brittle lance]

I really hope that achievements and titles are in the game. And that you can put the title on a sign at your front door 😛

[desert vapor]

Title should ve optional

[shadow talon]

"Home of title name, name".

[nimble robin]

Hi

[shadow talon]

Evening.

[iron pagoda]

I feel like the #📮│public-polls was fixed and held until the very second Ashura was in the lead before being closed! I demand an independent inquiry!

[limber spade]

i would do anything for title like "chipmunk friend"

[surreal crest]

"The Nutbringer, Savior of Fauna"

[shadow talon]

Hm... Long title perhaps?

"Local Hero, John Doe" would be a nice thing.

[limber spade]

yeah, hope we can get some great titles

[surreal crest]

Oh oh it should be like in FABLE! when you get enough fame you can buy a title

[shadow talon]

Hm...

[surreal crest]

and NPCs start to use that to address you

"Chicken Chaser" ahhh.

[shadow talon]

Pffff-

[limber spade]

and also from secret quests that u complete by doing wierd stuff

[shadow talon]

"Water fall hunter, John Doe", given to those who delve into 10 waterfalls thinking there are secrets behind it.

[limber spade]

"monk" given for sitting on a rock for 3 h straight

[shadow talon]

HM. Seems doable. As long as there isn't an inactivity system.

[nova token]

is there any pvp in the game or battlegrounds/arena

[mortal cave]

FOMO hitting hard right now

[limber spade]

we dont know yet

[nova token]

just do something similar to Lost ark in pvp

once u reach max lvl, everyone has same stats regarding pvp gear

[limber spade]

again back to work, bye guys ^^

[merry crater]

I dont think PVP is intented to be included in the traditional sense. Id have to dig around for convos regarding it though and Im not sure where to start looking for that info.

[nimble robin]

Good work

[hollow pivot]

In the game review on YouTube they discussed doing crafting based competitions between players and guilds.

[brittle lance]

No PvP as in combat. There are no HP or stamina bars.
There will be PvP in the form of friendly competition

[hollow pivot]

To get customizable skins or something similar but I think they’re opting out of a health point system. So PvP is not in the works but competition is.

[hollow pivot]

It’s Palia Iron Chef! 🤣

[merry crater]

I would love an ultimate cooking competition in game. With teams~

[chilly locust]

or a nice fishing comp

[nova token]

there needs to be combat

no clue how u can make a game without it

[nimble robin]

That is what we need

[hollow pivot]

Yeah I bet there will be fishing, cooking maybe might be fun to see racing to certain areas, etc.

[merry crater]

It's not really in the dev teams vision for the game to have pvp combat.

[chilly locust]

well there doesnt need to be combat. i think its being advertised as a pvp optional game lol

[hollow pivot]

There are plenty of games with no pvp. It was referenced to the SIMS and harvest moon games which do not include PvP.

[chilly locust]

ya know like the animal crossing or stardew valley like games, not much combat but soo soo popular!

[hollow pivot]

Yeah exactly @chilly locust

[merry crater]

A very different, but refreshing for casual gamers, take on traditional mmos.

Won't be for everyone though.

[hollow pivot]

I’m just excited that you can play with other players/friends.

[merry crater]

Me too. I've always wanted a game like this.

[chilly locust]

same i already have a friend just as excited as me to play lol

[hollow pivot]

@merry crater @chilly locust same

[sullen bison]

Yeah I'm really excited for an mmo cozy building farming game!

[chilly locust]

ive been looking for a game like this for a whileee, i really hope the devs make the game fantastic

[hollow pivot]

@chilly locust I have no doubt that this game is going to be wildly successful. Just like Valheim!

[buoyant heath]

THE CONQUEROR

[hollow pivot]

When it first released.

[brittle lance]

Naaa Valheim has nothing on this game!

[hollow pivot]

@brittle lance I fully agree with that too!

[celest maple]

I'm just terrified that it'll have some weird mechanics or odd timegating like WoW. 😢 Like having content limited to dailies would suck.

[sharp obsidian]

We feel there is a relatively unexplored space that doesn't require combat to gain an audience - there are plenty of multiplayer PvP focused games on the market for PvP fans to play!

[wise atlas]

someone said this game looks like Albion online without the pvp

[dusty cargo]

PvP is my worst nightmare, so thank god 😂

[celest maple]

Haha, definitively mine as well. 😁

[buoyant heath]

Chutes and Ladders would like to have a word with you

[dim widget]

You can have casual pvp in non fighting games. I think there may be a focus on minigames, events, or competitions

[brittle lance]

Exactly! Only what I have been waiting for, for years. But not dare hope for. Because "I'm one of THOSE that don't like combat too much"

[shadow talon]

What did I miss?

[hollow pivot]

@celest maple it’s no different than games like story of seasons. Sometimes it’s nice to have those time stoppers to explore different areas or other crafting. But I have no doubt it will be very addictive regardless.

[shadow talon]

Aw, is the title/food topic over?

[merry crater]

Talking about non combat pvp. Cooking competition anyone?

[dusty cargo]

There's always someone way better and waaaay too competitive so what's the point 😂

[brittle lance]

Don't thank God... Thank [S6]

[idle hare]

hiii!!

[chilly locust]

ill cook circles around you lol

[sullen bison]

Ooo yeah cooking comp!

[shadow talon]

Palia's kitchen. Yes.

[peak escarp]

I had to ask my question about titles in #851872239435644928!

[elder umbra]

I heard kitchen PvP, I'm in.

[celest maple]

Yeah, I don't like those brutal portrayals of skill. I'd rather have people get rewarded for baking the best cake, or having a nice farm than being able to stack a pile of player skulls on their lawn. 😢

[peak escarp]

Omg that sounds so exciting! The hype! Kitchen PvP!

[shadow talon]

"Vegetable pulling competition".

[rich silo]

I can cook a mean grilled cheese sandwich

[chilly locust]

bop you over the head with a ladle

[buoyant heath]

Anything can be made into a competition.

[merry crater]

If there's a nether realm in Palias lore it can be that Kitchen. Perfect.

[elder umbra]

I'm really good at PvP, but everything I play has it. It'll be nice to try something new.

[hollow pivot]

@rich silo I make a mean bowl of cereal

[dusty cargo]

@buoyant heath but but but! Wholesome competition pls!

[rich silo]

I'm proud of you

[shadow talon]

Hm... I wonder... Watermelon splitting competition.

[sharp obsidian]

Now you can see if you're good at non-combative PvP 🙂

[celest maple]

Yeah, but it's fun to be able to see a 1:1 correlation between time invested and rewards reaped. You can get the same timestopper after having worked for a really long time only to sit on a pile of gold and a farm that pays for itself. ☺️

[hollow pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/monique-samuels-cry-sad-crying-tears-gif-18858133

@celest maple so true!

[surreal crest]

👀

[hollow pivot]

It would be very cool to see Holiday themed events as well.

[nimble robin]

Fishing and cooking competition?👀👀

[rich silo]

Christmas cooking? Let me make eggnog for my whole village

[shadow talon]

"Ashura Day" as someone stated yesterday iirc.

[marble hedge]

"That's so stinking cool" - the wife, who can't tell me what 'that' is.

I need to gouge my eardrums out

[sharp obsidian]

Wrekt 🙂

[merry crater]

In a few hours I'll be in her position. Any tips for not driving my hubbin bonkers?

[dusty cargo]

Thats what having a wife is 😁

[marble hedge]

Step 1: Don't talk. Just play

[chilly locust]

aaaaaa god i keep overhyping myself for this game!! i really hope its as good as i hope itll be

[shadow talon]

I wonder.... What would the possibility be to have your own 'Diary' that you can write in to describe your day in Palia...

[celest maple]

Me too!

[hollow pivot]

I wasn’t going to say it. 🤣

[merry crater]

Solid.

[peak escarp]

Omg YES!

[sharp obsidian]

bring him back a power ranger action figure as distraction.

[rich silo]

The cool ones that light up

[merry crater]

Good line of thinking. I'll have to bust out the hotwheels Cyber Truck.

as the wife... do you have lollypops? there will be so many things that make you want to say exclaimations ... lollypop that mouth 😛

[peak escarp]

I love having events in games so much! They are so fun and I really love it when the community is there! The atmosphere becomes so cheerful!

[shadow talon]

Yes. This tbh.

[chilly locust]

im almost definitely taking the day off work when the game releases lol

[surreal crest]

what the duck are y'all talking bout

[hollow pivot]

I’d leave diary logs like those funny/weird books you’d find in Skyrim

[buoyant heath]

Burn all who resist

[hollow pivot]

Especially if other people can read it

"There was a Chapaa in my garden again... I'm going to leave him a present. I hope he likes treats."- My Encounter, Vol 1. Chapter 1.

[wooden rune]

lol

[lone trench]

love it

[celest maple]

I hope they don't let this hype die down and give us some sneak peeks into the gameplay. 😢

[chilly locust]

yeah im perfectly fine going in blind lol, makes things more interesting

[peak escarp]

You got a point!

It would be so exciting!

[brittle lance]

Sleep well friends. See ya soon 👋

[chilly locust]

see yaaa

[nimble robin]

We have the pre alpha, i think we can have the game soon

[hollow pivot]

Goodnight

[celest maple]

Oooh, I don't know about that. But I hope for some gameplay previews at least. 😊

[merry crater]

I'm sure they'll trickle announcements and such. And the community will always be here to keep driving the hype train!!!

[merry crater]

Might be a looong time before the game is really ready. But there's the potential for Alpha and Beta phases to look forward to.

[chilly locust]

Yeah im hoping to get in for beta at least, god the hours ill spend on it lol

[celest maple]

Same!

Any tips for any games I can play to tie me down for Palia? (Maybe we can discuss that in #🎮│other-games if anyone's interested.)

[sonic silo]

someone know if we gonna just have human specie for playing ? Cause i'm pretty bored of that in games in general, if someone say fantasy i want to play some, unique species

[merry crater]

I'm not sure if there's been anything finite on if were only playing as humans or not. I've seen many people mention that they hope for options though.

[surreal crest]

oh boi, I have bad news for you.
in the lore humans went extinct and we're coming back now

[nimble robin]

I think only uman because the lore is based on the return of uman

[merry crater]

Hop on over and drop the question. I bet people will have plenty of suggestions.

It will be a bit weird to have an mmo where everyone's the same species.

[versed sail]

afaik Elves are coming next! I'm sure they'll add more!

[sonic silo]

Grimalkin looks pretty funny, i hope

[shadow talon]

Hopefully the idea of chestnut elves comes to mind...

[chilly locust]

ashura looks so great! kinda reminds me of the innkeeper on tiktok. cant really recall his name lol

[shadow talon]

I wonder if I should try and make a fantasy inspired portrait which could be Palia like...

🤔 Hm.

[weak bluff]

Have you played ooblets? It's singleplayer but great fun and cozy

[merry crater]

Go for it!

[shadow talon]

I must confess, I'm only good with portraits, aka head and shoulders.

[merry crater]

i just suggested that in the other games room.

Is a good choice.

[versed sail]

Do it!!!

[merry crater]

That's okay. If you make anything Palia related feel free to share it in #🎨│old-palia-fan-art

[shadow talon]

👍

Will try and do so. Since I do hyper realism portraits it'll maybe take a while. So be on the lookout for that.

Can't promise it'll look entirely unique though. 👀

[celest maple]

I'll check them out, thanks!

[small hinge]

Evened the Ashura vote for old times sake 😭

[true perch]

why are so many people bullying ashura :(

[small hinge]

We ride memes into the ground here!

[nimble robin]

Are u italian?

[merry crater]

Nah but i remember being asked that before.

[versed sail]

https://tenor.com/view/a-christmas-story-fragile-italian-gif-3578174

That's why

[heavy dew]

Ah it's @nimble robin my favorite 🤌 user

[merry crater]

Coincidentally ive had people irl ask me that because of my appearance despite the fact that I'm super pale.

[nimble robin]

Probably because fragile and forte are italian words

[nimble robin]

🍝

[merry crater]

Oooh christmas story. But yeye it was for the words. Idk if Forte isnt a common word in American English but ive known a few uses for it.

[short thorn]

Fra-gee-lae. Must be Italian!

[heavy dew]

Would you say.. it's not their forte to use it?

[merry crater]

Must be.

[merry crater]

Hah.

[nimble robin]

Forte means strong

[short thorn]

Something this size it should be a bowling alley

[merry crater]

Yeah. Strong. Term for something one excels at. Is a music term too.

[short thorn]

Fortissamo

[vast escarp]

I can read music, I'm somewhat a expert in Italian Linguistics 😏

[merry crater]

I just liked that is was kinda the opposite of Fragile. and alliteration is nice.

Heh. I hope there's many much beautiful music in Palia.

[bright forge]

I hope we will be able to play instruments

[merry crater]

Yesss

[vast escarp]

yes please

[heavy dew]

Walking through the towns suddenly hearing megalovania played

[bright forge]

only instrument I played was flute in primary school but If I can I will be playing something in Palia

[merry crater]

I too was a flutist in middle and high school.

[nimble robin]

Flute in primary school was my nightmare

[merry crater]

F

For flute.

I'm off for earrands. Have a good time everyone!

Wonder what sort of errands we'll be able to run in Palia.👋

[short thorn]

I played alto sax and it was my second fluent language

Played piano too but never quite had it down due to bass

[bright forge]

Sax rules!

[short thorn]

Ty!

[bright forge]

You knew that sax solos became a thing before guitar solos?

[short thorn]

Also id like the option to manually play our instruments, but also toggle it to "pre selected" mode for those who just wanna chill and listen

Ye! I just loved sax lol

Was in a jazz band in middle school and did a few solos. Never the way the instructor wanted tho lol

It was more fun to just go with the music but also just go ham wild

[bright forge]

I would like that you can play free style or pre-record some songs to just press button and play them latter. We could even find some in game songs to learn!

[final grove]

Remember my words: Bows in pvp gonna be meta.

[short thorn]

I know where that avi is from but I'm afriad to say it

[bright forge]

If there ever will be PvP the sure

[short thorn]

Also there's no PvP right?

[bright forge]

Describe PvP....

[final grove]

I would grind that pvp pog

[surreal crest]

there will be a competitions, but nothing like "I'll slam your ass into the shadow realm" pvp, no

[short thorn]

Where you slam someone's arse into the shadow realm

[final grove]

sadge

[short thorn]

I'm citing the mystic chair

[zinc scarab]

Wait how long has the chair been mystic

What did I miss

[heavy dew]

Since the dawn of furniture

[short thorn]

Chair waged war on pvp

[zinc scarab]

oh ty

[bright forge]

than no

[short thorn]

Out of context for the person who just came back

[surreal crest]

🪑 💨

[bright forge]

Any lurkers? If yes have a nice day !

[dim widget]

🎏 🔅 🇦🇬 💺 🚀

[short thorn]

🦻

[peak jetty]

i hope theres card games

[bright forge]

I hope for dice games

[peak jetty]

so i can send people to the shadow realm

[surreal crest]

my battery is low and it's getting dark
gn everybody

[bright forge]

Are lurkers have any questions? I may be able to answer.

Quiet

[versed sail]

sneaks

[bright forge]

[buoyant heath]

I have a question

[bright forge]

Yes dad?

[buoyant heath]

My question is 1️⃣

[bright forge]

We got Ashura and ❓ was a lie all the way.

Any other questions?

[small hinge]

I want dice and or cards but they aren’t like 1-6 and Ace-King and instead their own world symbols

[bright forge]

For cards absolutely but for dice it must be something easy to recognise

[small hinge]

I like Majong style symbols/colors but more unique lol… maybe types of fish..?

[heavy dew]

Hey Supercutie

[bright forge]

Witcher 2 had some cool dice

[sour basin]

is there a guesstimate on when the game will come out?

[boreal flint]

lets hope for wave three 🥲

[bright forge]

Much closer than 3y

[small hinge]

😊 about to go back into respirator for 2 hours then it’s the weekend!

[bright forge]

I doubt there will be 3rd wave

[boreal flint]

please... my baboon heart cant handle this news

[heavy dew]

It's not probable no, they said 1400 would test pre-alpha, 1400 have been sent out

[small hinge]

Hey if it’s too quiet this weekend, tag us in 👀

[bright forge]

But there sure (I think) will be first wave of Alpha!

[heavy dew]

@sour basin #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha message this is the statement from the devs on time

[small hinge]

Excited for the changes and fixes from pre alpha into alpha

[zinc scarab]

^

[small hinge]

I hope we get a recap of stuff… since we didn’t get to experience. I would still like to know what was found

If it was fun stuff not like oh we missed a invisible box here

[heavy dew]

It's always fun to see/follow development

[small hinge]

^

[bright forge]

I doubt it that's why NDA is a thing

[zinc scarab]

People can’t share the stuff they see in pre-alpha yet but they may be able to share after the game has been released

[small hinge]

Well, maybe alpha will have a NDA and we will get recap

[heavy dew]

Some NDA's are infinite, bare that in mind. If anything is to be shared I think it's to be reliant on official info

[bright forge]

I mean devs rarely shows game in early state even if it passed it's bad for reputation

[small hinge]

Well, I don’t ask for general public, I just personally hope it can be disclosed, I’ll even sign a NDA for it, doesn’t mean it’s impossible

[heavy dew]

One can always hope my dear

[small hinge]

Yee, and I’ll be a ok if they don’t ever lol

[bright forge]

I mean some devs shows game development process but that's very rare

[slim shard]

Okay, I'm tired, but it was a good day I would say! I wish you all a wonderful Day and Good Night! 🙂

[cobalt epoch]

I just came across this message: #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha message
So if the next question would have been "1 year?", we can deduce that the answer to this question would have been "sooner", otherwise this question would not have made sense. So we can hope to see the game released in 2022 🙏 🙏

[lunar tundra]

Ooh, is that a new Wave emoji?!

[glossy bone]

My Discord tag updated since I enrolled for the pre-alpha…is there some way to fix that?

[bright forge]

Ok guys I will be out too. I hope to see you tomorrow and remember I love you all!

[heavy dew]

3 new emotes have rolled in, wave and high fives

[hollow tendon]

@bright forge Have a good one friend.

[lunar tundra]

Aww yiss, beautiful!

I was just thinking yesterday that we needed a palia related wave emoji.

[heavy dew]

There's an animated one coming too

Different one

[glossy bone]

Lol man…honestly I’ve only had two emails from the team that were generated otherwise I have not had luck interacting in any way and I have genuine questions. I guess I’ll just wait for this game to be fully released. 🙄

Sequestering this server to the void folder.

[heavy dew]

Noone can talk about the NDA stuff, dm the admins or moderators

[tidal pendant]

hi everyone i just found out about this game and im already super excited to try it

[hollow tendon]

@tidal pendant welcome

[glossy bone]

I don’t have an NDA question but thanks. It’s literally about interacting with my invite at all.

[tidal pendant]

thank you ^^

[heavy dew]

Yeah that invite is under NDA, noone here can tell you whether they know or not, is what I'm saying

[glossy bone]

🤷‍♀️ I guess this isn’t very friendly as a venue for this kind of stuff. No worries.

[heavy dew]

I wasn't invited, I don't know what it says or what to do, and anyone invited can't tell you in a public forum anyway cause it's give info to everyone else, just dm a mod or an admin would be your best bet

[versed sail]

I don't think you understand. No one here is able to help you, so you should ask a mod. They are the only ones who can help you. It's not unfriendly. It's just what's happening.

[remote latch]

If you didn't get an email invite in the last couple of days for the pre-alpha the discord id being a problem won't change that. If you signed up early and are worried you missed the first discord invite wave, then only the devs can help you with that information.

[glossy bone]

Oh well! Enjoy the game ✌️

[tidal pendant]

lets see what we get ^^

[lunar tundra]

If you are having issues with invites / pre-alpha please reach out and DM a moderator.

[versed sail]

Sailor! Let's braid each other's hair!

[rain carbon]

If you guys have some questions about pre-alpha, please don't post it here. You can contact either Neleimour, WizardCrab, or WhoaNonstop

[glossy bone]

I’m having trouble even with interacting with this server lol. I gave my Discord ID to the devs and it’s changed. But really idc anymore whatever.

[versed sail]

Berry! Let's braid each other's hair!

[heavy dew]

If it was long enough sure! You can braid my SO's xD

[stone rover]

hi everyone! 👋 new here and holy wow this game looks amazing

[mint steppe]

Hiii

[hollow tendon]

Hi

[warped oriole]

Hi

[hollow tendon]

so I just realized this chapaa in English means print.

[warped oriole]

If you print out a picture of a chapaa, would it be a print print?

[hollow tendon]

I guess so

[zinc scarab]

Print the print print

art print could be an artist’s rendition of a chapaa or an artistic chapaa

[versed sail]

Where did you find this word?

[hollow tendon]

Look it up on google and it is my tag name

[versed sail]

I have the same tag silly!

[rose cedar]

sheet=/=print

[hollow tendon]

I now

[versed sail]

I was just wondering what language you were translating it from.
