Will it have mounts? 😮

[slim shard]

A suuuuuupppppper duuuuupppppper Happy Time Zone Thuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrsssssday to all of you!

[patent adder]

Awwh welcome new friend. ☺️

[left raven]

Arigato ^^

[patent adder]

And yes, mounts and pets are both on the roadmap to be added. Here's a Google doc of what we know https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1ECHPsDvyC0KP6ldYRaeFtmR0mhwBVGckWEPcH_zNc7E

It's very helpful searching for keywords and stuff to figure out what info there is. This is pretty much all of it. That isn't NDA at least☺️

Hi Rin ^^

[silent cairn]

I don't know, but I do know that the best artist ever just pinged me.

[patent adder]

I didn't realize it was your SO you said for me to say hi to until later when I was talking to Cinna 👀

[heavy dew]

Oh staph it you

[patent adder]

Uh excuse me

[silent cairn]

post invite wave sickness is kicking in

[patent adder]

Do you think we need to call someone

[silent cairn]

there is no known cure besides the release date of the game. There is nothing we can do.

[heavy dew]

You good buddy? Your blog is taking a dive

[warm plover]

$0 says they fell asleep on the keyboard

[heavy dew]

I’ll take that bet

[left pebble]

ashuraashuraashuraashuraashuraashuraashuraashura

[heavy dew]

But how do you fall asleep on Ctrl+V only

[left pebble]

Looks like the elf is some sort of wood worker

[blazing pebble]

It just be like that sometimes 😔

[heavy dew]

It do be like that sometimes, huh

[shell hound]

Some keyboards to have a shortcut for that

[blazing pebble]

Understandable lmao

[zealous plank]

I was thinking it could be a cat standing on the keyboard as well 😛 happens to me all the time

[heavy dew]

It’s just the copy paste that confuses me, if it was all fffffffff I would’ve just said, well, F

[zealous plank]

oh yeah just noticed that. maybe wants it to seem like their cat was on their keyboard XD

[shell hound]

Multiple cats are jumping on the keys😜😂

[stone sierra]

Happy Timezone everyone

[blazing pebble]

The cats are tryna send a message but their lil paws cant type

Hi

[warm plover]

[stone sierra]

Yeah, it got quiet here lately

[warm plover]

yeah 😔

[patent adder]

Shhh this is the library 🤫

[stone sierra]

I missed the discusson here about the last two pieces of #🌠│official-art (not talking about Ashura)
Any interesting thoughts, hopes or insights people have regarding them?

[warm plover]

Well I thought it was nice that we learnt their names are sernuks and that animal names arent capitalised

also ashura ashura ashura ashura ashura

I think deserves to win the villager vote

[stone sierra]

I see lake, I see river, I think more fish.

[tardy burrow]

Hi - I just got here, submitted email, forgetting adblocker was on, then disabled it on the site and now can't get to the survey >.> halp lol

[craggy niche]

Yo

[wraith notch]

I wanna play already dern it

[warped oriole]

Big mood, Neonko.

[late pelican]

fin is here

[warped oriole]

You are!

[late pelican]

hi

[strong fjord]

have you tried using another browser or resetting your cache?

[tardy burrow]

oh I could submit it again, I just assumed I shouldn't 🙂

[cinder temple]

You can resubmit if you need to; they won't get mad. Just note that there will be no confirmation e-mail after submitting the survey. That was a little confusing back in June, but it's working as intended.

[tardy burrow]

Thanks for the heads up, I just sent in my survey 🙂

[celest maple]

Hi

[patent adder]

Hey everyone who just got here. :3

[nova raven]

If any new people need to get caught up on news feel free to ask!

[patent adder]

Yeah this boi will assist 👀

[nova raven]

I love taking care of my green sprouts! 🪴

[zinc steeple]

Whens Palia out?!!?

jk

[nova raven]

Palia is already out! Inside our hearts.

[sand barn]

[nova raven]

[swift bramble]

Is there gonna be another wave?

[warped oriole]

Not for the pre-alpha, I think.

[celest maple]

Hey everyone 🙂

[warped oriole]

Happy timezone!

[celest maple]

Happy Timezone!

Gonna practically live on this game when its out lol

[thin venture]

[warm plover]

[zinc steeple]

That kind of genuinely is my plan if this game works well lol

[celest maple]

Well you'll find me on it most days if it goes well :3

[zinc steeple]

:3

i just had a thought....has anyone raised the topic of VR yet?

[celest maple]

Probably bit too soon to look into VR right now, it'd be interesting i suppose

[zinc steeple]

yeah, but it'd be nice to see it on the roadmap, as a 'at some point yeah' kind of thing

[celest maple]

Maybe they will, just for now they're focused on getting it playable for everyone ^^

[nova raven]

They talked about it, theres no plans in the works yet for it, but they have some people on the team that Love VR

Where's Magical News Roundup Person @remote latch when you need them?

[remote latch]

Sweltering 😛

[zinc steeple]

Awesome, thanks for that info. That's all i was looking for really 🙂

[nova raven]

Xrystal has a nifty little link of a google doc that has just about all the questions and answers that we've gotten from the devs!

[zinc steeple]

yeah i saw that linked yesterday

[remote latch]

If you haven't looked at them already, there are 2 Unofficial FAQs that streamline what we have learnt from the Devs since day 1 on the server. We may mention these occasionally here are the links in case you haven't read them. These along with #❓│old-team-answers-alpha and #❔│game-faqs should bring you up to speed with what we know about the game.

[surreal crest]

mornin lads!

[zinc steeple]

shamelessly just asking here i'm afraid. i would do my own research and search the doc, but i'm actually at work!

[warm plover]

you can ask if you want there's no problems with that

as long as you arent asking "is the game out yet?" or "release date when?" cause people should be able to find those themselves pretty easily...
(the answers are 'no' and 'soontm')

[cinder temple]

Which you can still ask, people will just catch on if they know you've already asked.

[warm plover]

ok maybe release date when is fine
but asking if the game is already out 👀

[cinder temple]

Of course it's out. S6 is LGBTQ-friendly since foundation.

[nova raven]

[left raven]

The game is currently in alpha aye?

[warm plover]

prealpha

[nova raven]

Pre-Alphy

[left raven]

Ah ok

[warm plover]

alphy

[nova raven]

Only 1400 lucky people get to play right now

[thin venture]

or unlucky, depends on the state of pre-alpha :P

[patent adder]

[thin venture]

they are doing the heavy lifting now

[patent adder]

Heckin Rin poofed 😠

[warm plover]

poof

[arctic onyx]

YOOO

i am back from my cave

[zinc scarab]

Yikesss

[arctic onyx]

[zinc scarab]

D:

[celest maple]

Oh damn O_O

[bright forge]

Hi everyone!

[warm plover]

lem are you ok

[celest maple]

Least no ones hurt, items can be replaced, lives can't.

[silent cairn]

holy crap

[silent cairn]

yeah, stay safe

[regal swallow]

Happy timezone.

[celest maple]

❓ vote is tainted 👀

[nova raven]

Need 2 more votes for Ashura!

[celest maple]

I switched my vote >O<

[surreal crest]

It is fixed

We shall keep the tie until the end of time.

[celest maple]

👔

[tulip wagon]

Needs moar clowns

[celest maple]

Offal my fan arrived early

Its so good, its on me right now ❤️

[tulip wagon]

Bring it over!

[celest maple]

That means going into that sun, I'm not that crazy

The sun is a deadly laser

[tulip wagon]

Agree

[fallow otter]

That’s why we have umberellas

[ocean stone]

Be careful what you wish for

[warm plover]

cinnn you joined art?

[ocean stone]

Yee

[marble comet]

What is happening tomorrow? Is there a sneak peek of the villager??

[warm plover]

meow :D

[marble comet]

Or did I miss read the latest post from #🌠│official-art ?

[zinc scarab]

The character who wins #📮│public-polls will get revealed, although that was sent yesterday so the character should be revealed later today

[marble comet]

ohh ok

[cunning grotto]

I like how ashura is still tied

[nova raven]

#1 can still win the villager vote! Dont give up, cast your votes!

[carmine relic]

Did Ashura win yet

[nova raven]

He's still engaged in his duel with the monstrous ❓

[silent cairn]

he did, he did. The ❓ tie was ignored and Ashura was cast winner. As it should have been from the start.

he won't have to wipe the tears on his counter away any longer.

[hollow echo]

I mean, it wasn't a tie

it bounced back and forth between them every other hour

[silent cairn]

yeah, because of heathens. But there wasn't any timeframe given when the vote would end, so it honestly could have been any winner.

[hollow echo]

right, so when Ashura was ahead they ended it 🙂

[thin venture]

rigged

give us the ❓

[silent cairn]

and I agree with Ashura finally getting revealed. though Nel did say we would get a ❓ villager card, so we did get scammed a bit.

[hollow tendon]

Hi ever one

[hollow echo]

what if

[nova raven]

I'm sad 1 is in last place, this must be what Ashura fans felt like.

[hollow echo]

Ashura was the ? as well?

[nova raven]

Go scroll through meme's your dreams may have already come tru

[arctic onyx]

😤 if anything happens to ashura, i will burn the entire world of palia down

[silent cairn]

that is too far fetched. you mean to say ❓ was just a random emote Nel threw in there without expecting or wanting to do any extra work? that would just be outrageous and impossible.

[hollow echo]

to be honest, I only want 2 revealed here so I can start working on cosplay.

[thin venture]

cute girl with frilly dress ez win

i'm curious about 4 though

[nova raven]

Acceptable reason

[hollow echo]

I want to see them all, but I love sewing dresses

[nova raven]

I just wanted to see a new character

[limber spade]

im sad about the fifth option

[nova raven]

@arctic onyx Hey what's the motto of TWC?

[arctic onyx]

adventuring, we're an explorers guild

[tulip wagon]

The Weather Channel?

[lunar tundra]

Happy Timezone pals!

[arctic onyx]

👋

[nova raven]

That's what I was hoping for! Might have to join you all when the time comes, if your accepting people that is.

[arctic onyx]

our doors are open

[wind ibex]

Greetings, I have awoken once more.

[thin venture]

that sounds like something a druid from warcraft 3 would say

[nova raven]

Nothing like a 200 year nap to freshen you up

[tulip wagon]

Fresh as a daisy! Pardon the dust.

[nova raven]

More like moss at that point

[tulip wagon]

I lichen it

[thin venture]

imagine how many spiders you would eat

[nova raven]

They plan on it. That's how they get their nutrition sleeping for that long.

[tulip wagon]

How else would you survive? They would be your only food source.

[thin venture]

mmm protein

[tulip wagon]

It worked for sleeping beauty

[nova raven]

[tulip wagon]

[thin venture]

where's the up and down

[carmine relic]

Don't tell this guy about the average 8 spiders per year

[nova raven]

Lm@o

[ocean stone]

Eight? More like 49

[nova raven]

There's an emote idea. A set where a character is point down and another is pointing up in a, "this guy gets it" kinda way

[nova raven]

You eat 49 spiders a year!?

[wheat thicket]

2021 is 55% complete

[ocean stone]

It enhances my powers

[carmine relic]

You're gonna get horribly sick

[blazing pebble]

Or develop spider powers

[nova raven]

If just getting bit by a spider gave Peter Parker all his power, just imagine what biting a spider would do!

[wind ibex]

Give you spicy protein?

[blazing pebble]

Crunchy exoskeleton

[arctic onyx]

let's gooo i can't wait for 2022

[nova raven]

Black Widow's are just spicy protien.

[wind ibex]

something tells me the venom would not be good to eat...

[carmine relic]

Please do or do not throw house centipedes in

[ocean stone]

Y'all if you live in the states don't look at how much bug parts are allowed in your food

[nova raven]

And rat poo

[blazing pebble]

Yeh they use them for colouring right?

[ocean stone]

I don't know how this compared internationally but lol

[pearl ore]

Well, this is a cursed conversation

[blazing pebble]

Idk I'm british lmao

[wind ibex]

We literally had bugs for food at gas stations...

[arctic onyx]

i barely encounter insects in the desert

[ocean stone]

Happy time zone fren

[arctic onyx]

except for occasional scorpion or lizard

[ocean stone]

*dessert, you mean right ;)

[tulip wagon]

It's not as deadly as people think. I got bit by one. It sucked, but I lived.
I should have bitten it back. Didn't occur to me at the time.

[blazing pebble]

Having a lizard for a pet makes me indifferent to bugs lmao.

[tulip wagon]

Having said that, I would not eat 49 of them.

[carmine relic]

I despise bugs. Putrid, disgusting, horrible little vile pests.

[nova raven]

I think some can be cute

[wind ibex]

I know starbucks used bug shells as pink coloring in one of their drinks

[blazing pebble]

Crickets annoy me with how loud they are but most bugs idc about

[wind ibex]

Have you heard Cicadas?

[tulip wagon]

Most food colouring has some sort of bug involved

[tulip wagon]

I miss the singing!!!!!

[carmine relic]

I hate cicadas.

[nova raven]

Cicada shells are cool

[blazing pebble]

Nah but I dont have to have a box of cicadas hnaging around to feed my lizard lmao unlike crickets

Idk I dont think cicadas are as common here as they are in like the US

[wind ibex]

What type of lizard?

[tulip wagon]

I hope somewhere in Palia there are singing cicadas

[blazing pebble]

Leopard gecko 🦎

[woeful sedge]

Morning/Timezone everyone!

[wind ibex]

Have you tried Mealworms?

[nova raven]

You think there will be any small lizards in game?

[blazing pebble]

Yeah lmao I feed her multiple types of bugs, she just likes crickets and locust the most. Not really bothered with mealworms

[tulip wagon]

I hope so!

[nova raven]

Wonder if we'll he able to capture a bunch of little critters and fill up our house with them like in Monster Hunter World

[blazing pebble]

I hope I can have many small lizard friends in game

[woeful sedge]

Lizards!

[regal swallow]

If you had a pet in Palia, what would be their name, and how would you design them?

[tulip wagon]

I need this

[wind ibex]

A fox or red panda, name would be based on how they acted in game.

[blazing pebble]

Just gonna make my house into a zoo lmao

[nova raven]

I'm already enjoying the design of Palian canis

[regal swallow]

A zoologist?

[nova raven]

I was thinking of turning into the lazy villagers in Animal Crossing and just talk to bugs in my house lol

[blazing pebble]

Lmao my animal crossing house has a room dedicated to bugs and the bug art you get from Flick

[zinc scarab]

Sometimes they whisper DIY recipes into your ear

[nova raven]

Ooooo it would be cool if we could have Aquarium/Terrarriums and you could customize them.

[blazing pebble]

Stardew valley introduced tanks and being able to customise sea urchins by giving them hats which like is pretty neat

I would love an aquarium house

At some point I wanna turn my stardew valley house into an aquarium (apologies to Shane who also lives in my house lmaoo)

[zinc scarab]

ah yes, all my cowboy sea urchins

[nova raven]

Srry to the man that lives in my house lol

[tulip wagon]

I feel like I need pets that would help me with work. I need a big, buff ox to carry tools and some sort of platypus or opossum to be my best buddy.

[zinc scarab]

Platypus with a knife

[tulip wagon]

Cause a platypus will mess up intruders

[nova raven]

Guard Platy

[tulip wagon]

The females are venomous

[silent cairn]

the ox part could still be animal cruelty, but the platypus plan is foolproof

[tulip wagon]

I don't think you understand how spoiled that ox will be.

[blazing pebble]

When I let him move in, he knew what he was getting into with all these fish

[nova raven]

Big ole scratching posts for our Bovine fwends?

[tulip wagon]

My platypus will befriend the local beavers and they will ask me to construct a waterside so they can play together when they aren't buildings dams

[blazing pebble]

I need to actually look at the animals in Palia lmao

[tulip wagon]

Every morning, while my platypus is playing on the waterside with the beavers, my ox and I will have a cuppa tea to start our day.

[nova raven]

Wonder if you'll be able/need to use the dogs to track hunting game or maybe even resources. Maybe the blue deer is a rare spawn that you'll need the dogs help to find.

[thorny saddle]

I put this in suggestions before, I really want the dogs to have a finding mechanic lol

[blazing pebble]

Lmao yeh I love dogs in games but most of the time they just hang around

Itd be nice for them to have an actual use if possible

[rose cedar]

they chase off the chapaa.

[blazing pebble]

Nice nice 👍

[tulip wagon]

Is that a euphemism?

[nova raven]

Waiting for the moment when people are out in the world enjoying all the Chapaa and Sernuks and then a hunter comes by and kills them.

[blazing pebble]

Everyone: aww I love the animals in this game

Hunter: >:)

[tulip wagon]

This sounds like an episode of The Walking Dead

[nova raven]

I think it was but with a little extra that hopefully wont happen in this game.

[rose cedar]

have to sneak up on them. so it will be hard to hunt with people running them away.

[nova raven]

Was that a leak?

[tulip wagon]

Yes. Wrong game for such things. We like our generally happy place.

[nova raven]

Did we just get some info dropped on us?

[bright forge]

What info?

[tulip wagon]

I mean, that's true for most animals in the wild.

[rose cedar]

cant be a leak if I am not a tester/dev. lol

[nova raven]

Yea but Dilberts profile picture just makes me think he knows something.

[rose cedar]

it says in the #🌠│official-art that if not careful they will get spooked

[tulip wagon]

Chuck a pokeball at a Chapaa and see what happens. There will be regrets when it face hugs you and starts chewing.

[nova raven]

Chapaa never back down. Never surrender.

[tulip wagon]

Now I really want to draw a picture of in game me (not that I know what that looks like) and my platypus & ox.

[nova raven]

I'm hoping to try and work on my shimmerfly piece for this weeks challenge. I've been wanting to learn to draw forever and this seems like the perfect opportunity to start!

[tulip wagon]

I can't wait to see it!

[wind ibex]

challange?

[blazing pebble]

I wanna draw some art of Einar at some point. Hes so cute

[tulip wagon]

No one told you???

[wind ibex]

Told me what?

[tulip wagon]

We get a new art prompt every week.

[wind ibex]

I'm 😕

[tulip wagon]

Why?

[wind ibex]

Art prompt? Challenge? Relation between the two?

[tulip wagon]

The art prompt is the challenge of the week. This week is shimmerflies.

New art challenge is issued every Monday. Deadline for submissions is Sunday.

[zinc scarab]

You guys should join :D seeing them all compiled at the end is really cool

[wind ibex]

I might see what I can model after work.

[tulip wagon]

To enter, just post in #🎨│old-palia-fan-art

For non Palian art post in #🎨│artistry

[safe spruce]

Hey

[amber condor]

Hi!

[icy wave]

Does Palia have an estimated release time frame? Like, is the full release coming in 2021 or is that slated for later?

[tulip wagon]

The closest we have to a date is "Much sooner than 3 years"

We are still in pre alpha so it's very early days

[carmine relic]

I feel much sooner than 3 years is a fancy way to say 2 years

[rose cedar]

it could still be 2.99999 years and still be true

[tulip wagon]

It's hard to tell what will come up in development. That three year timeline is likely the worst case scenario if everything goes horribly wrong. It's important to leave wiggle room for unforseen complications.

[cunning grotto]

1094 days

[urban moat]

I'm just looking forward to multiplayer with neighborhoods. I really like that as a clan/guild option

[nova raven]

Yea good to keep in mind that this has already been in development for 3 years so it's not something like Elderscrolls that gets announced when they just start concept stuff

[nova raven]

Same! I cant wait to see what neighborhoods will have access to!

[tulip wagon]

I hope we get some sort of seasons and neighbourhoods can have snowball fights.

[nova raven]

Snowball fights as pvp!

[wind ibex]

Did not know that it had been in development that long, but with how beautiful the trailed that was made with the in game engine looks, it makes sense.

[zinc scarab]

They’ve been working on it since 2018 I believe

[tulip wagon]

That is as close to PvP as things need to get. I'm happy for it to stop there.

[nova raven]

The team so far has built my trust with their stance on early access and not making promises they cant keep.

[carmine relic]

I figure the first couple years of building is to probably make the basics. Walking, modelling, concept making

[nova raven]

They legit just seem like a devoted team that wants to create a great product

[nova raven]

Same, I only want fun small scale stuff like this and maybe some leaderboarss

[cunning grotto]

I can't wait to spend hours, days even of my life playing this game

[tulip wagon]

Stuck it in suggestions

[zinc scarab]

I really want leaderboards :D

[nova raven]

I'm a Saint of the Firmament so I'm down for some leaderboards shenanigans

[tulip wagon]

Oh they will have ALL my time

[carmine relic]

I will spend way too much time in this game. Heck, this server is currently my new "home" server.

[cunning grotto]

Yes I'm sure you'll be very busy making tools

[zinc scarab]

theoretically if I were to make a Palia this is fine emote would you guys want it as a chapaa or a different character

[nova raven]

I want a little bit of npc love

[carmine relic]

You can't do much without tools, probably, so that seems right

[tulip wagon]

It could be ❓

[nova raven]

Also I was just thinking about a this is fine emote and how great it would be to have

[zinc scarab]

just the question mark in the chair?

[nova raven]

Mind Reader!

[tulip wagon]

[nova raven]

O wait I think that was meant for mini. My bad. Habit

[carmine relic]

Aye, good morning Rin

[zinc scarab]

It’s fine I don’t like high fives anyway

Hello rin!

[nova raven]

Hugs?

I think Ashura would be good for this is fine emote considering all the chaos around him and he already has the sipping emote

[warm plover]

Hi hi I'm hungry and also I wanna play Palia

[nova raven]

Good news! You have the power to fix one of those 2 things!

[tulip wagon]

Hi Hungry, I'm Offal.

[warm plover]

HI OFFAL IM RIN

[tulip wagon]

HI RIN I MISSED U

[warm plover]

yeah!! i can sneak into the prealpha!!!

[nova raven]

[warm plover]

apparently me saying you have mom vibes is haunting u are u ok

[wind ibex]

Cats are sneaky...

[carmine relic]

Very sneaky, infact.

[nova raven]

Who's got mom vibes?

[warm plover]

i once snuck into nels cool kids voice channel

offal has mom vibes

[nova raven]

Aw I was hoping it was me.

[tulip wagon]

I am okay.
Promise.

[warm plover]

I have yet to judge your vibes

[carmine relic]

What are my vibes?

[warm plover]

cryptid

[carmine relic]

That sounds about right

[wind ibex]

Do I have vibes? Looks over shoulder If so I can't see them.

[nova raven]

There's 2 adjectives I'm hoping for so I'll wait for the verdict.

[tulip wagon]

But someone keeps taunting me with my vibe assignment

[warm plover]

i dont know creeper or oddballs vibes yet
i pick up on them eventually

[nova raven]

I still need to listen to your song. Was too sleepy last night and too busy this morning.

[warm plover]

nooo dont worry about it the more i listen to it the more i think its kinda eh
i can do way better
i was forgetting to use proper breathing technique and i was kinda off at points so i need to do a better take later

[nova raven]

SO! Cooperative activities! Anyone got some interesting ideas in regards to this? Someone was talking about some deep sea fishing idea and I loved the idea! I wanna hear some other crazy stuff!

[tulip wagon]

Synchronised swimming

[nova raven]

Nope! It's already out in the world. Just sit back and enjoy the attention.

[zinc scarab]

I can try but I’m probably not going to be very good at drawing Ashura

[warm plover]

cooperative screaming

[nova raven]

Someone described ffxiv raiding as synchronized swimming and I couldn't argue against it...

[warm plover]

i dont want you to get a bad first impression of my singing ability 😔

[tulip wagon]

Were they playing blitzball?

[nova raven]

You do whatever you want and think that would work good! I'm just hear to scream ideas out into the void.

[zinc scarab]

Mom vibes

[warm plover]

i still dont know what pronouns to use for offal

so i picked mom vibes on a guess

[nova raven]

It says Chapaa on his profile

[zinc scarab]

I think anyone can have mom vibes regardless of gender

[warm plover]

my mental image of offal is a 32 year old woman with two children that likes games and wants to be a blacksmith

[tulip wagon]

I'm so not fussed. I'll answer to most anything.

[zinc scarab]

Several of my female friends have dad vibes which is to say they left and never came back

[nova raven]

In my mind I like to think of Mom as more of a role. Whoever is the one that holds down the house. I personally wouldn't mind being a mom.

[tulip wagon]

What in the world?

[warm plover]

im sorry its probably super wrong
thats just The Vibe™️

[tulip wagon]

lol

[warm plover]

was it weird

sorry

[nova raven]

I'm sure Offal was a middle aged woman in a past life

[warm plover]

whoa
i was right maybe a few hundred years late

[tulip wagon]

We can go with that.

[warm plover]

sorry if that was a weird thing to say

[tulip wagon]

Sorry you feel the need to apologise

[warm plover]

its sorries all the way down

[tulip wagon]

Sorry there are so many sorries!

[warm plover]

AAAAAAAAAA we're trapped

[tulip wagon]

❓ this is fine.

Autocorrrrrreect

[zinc scarab]

The ❓started the fire

[tulip wagon]

❓ didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning

[zinc scarab]

I should probably go work on lineart now, I’ll (hopefully) return soon with a new emote

[carmine relic]

❓ is evil. See how they're red? Evil.

[tulip wagon]

Go do your linework or you're grounded!

[zinc scarab]

Definitely mom vibes

[warm plover]

i was right see

[tulip wagon]

That was a freebie

[carmine relic]

Now I wonder, do we have public VCs now?

[warm plover]

no

theres only the secret prealpha ones (that i invaded once)

i will keep reminding people of that because it was my crowning achievement

[carmine relic]

I also made a meme about that

[warm plover]

oh yeah i saw that

[carmine relic]

Yay

[nova raven]

Back home. Time for a nap. Gnight.

[carmine relic]

Welcome home and goodbye

[cunning grotto]

Yes, greetings and farewell

[tulip wagon]

Rufus is in pet pics now. It's official.

[cunning grotto]

Rufus looks like a good boi

[tulip wagon]

He is. If we get to ever play Grimalkin I will make one based on him.

[carmine relic]

Playable Grimalkin would be pretty cool

[warm plover]

photoshop rufus into your profile pic

so you can be a blacksmith with a cat

[tulip wagon]

I don't have Photoshop

[warm plover]

i wanna be a grimalkin
im... kitty

oh
im not very good with photo editing or i would offer to do it :(

[carmine relic]

I may have thrown my Photoshop in the garbage but I am somewhat pretty good at editing

[merry crater]

Good day all.

[warm plover]

i have clip studio paint which isnt really editing software but it works
but im bad at using it
hi forteeee

[wind ibex]

I just hope I can make my character look like me, or rather my mental picture of me, when the game comes out.

[carmine relic]

I got paint.net

[wind ibex]

Gimp is a good free image editor.

[warm plover]

i remember using gimp a long time ago

[merry crater]

👀 that official art

[carmine relic]

All I know is paint.net. I only know like 5 tools but I can make somewhat good use of em'

[left raven]

How long is the art thing for the shimemrfly on for btw?

[left pebble]

I use it for all the palia edits i've done (the character isolations and the tweets)

[warm plover]

I think the submissions get collected on sundays @left raven

[left raven]

Maybe monday for me then? i'm in NZ ^^

[warm plover]

I'm in Aus :O
but yeah probably monday for you then

[left raven]

😄 down under! yeeeah. Sweet! Means I have a few days to come up with something.

[warm plover]

southern hemisphere twinsies
there are dozens of us! dozens!

[wispy meadow]

More than dozens I think?

[warm plover]

no, theres only dozens. its very lonely down here

[left raven]

Feels good man. That said, I just realised the time lol. Take it easy.

[warm plover]

night night

[wispy meadow]

Goodnight

[tulip wagon]

Do you think they'll notice if I fly to NZ and live in one of the hobbit holes on the old lotr film set? Also, do they have good wifi? Cause I need to be able to play Palia.

[warm plover]

unfortunately they probably went to bed and i dont really know anything about nz

[tulip wagon]

No, not Ayla. Just NZ in general.

[warm plover]

nz is sleeeeeeeping

[wind ibex]

I think people already live in those hobbit holes...

[warm plover]

its like 4:40 am there i think

[tulip wagon]

Woah...

I just stepped on a tripwire and my post was insta deleted

Hilariously, I was trying not to type a yucky word with creative other words, and typed an instadeath word in the process

[near sluice]

3:43a in Auckland, NZ -- i have a friend there and I keep a clock for him on my phone 😛

[warm plover]

oh i was off by an hour :(

[near sluice]

so close!

[wind ibex]

11:45am here, but feels earlier. I never will get used to Daylight savings...

[tulip wagon]

I think you can rent them like a hotel room.

[near sluice]

8:45a for me, so tired

[near sluice]

there's a hobbit house inspired air b&b somewhere out here - I keep seeing it online.

(I'm in Canada, lol)

[tulip wagon]

Probably bad for my back anyway. All that slouching over!

[near sluice]

same tho

[warm plover]

Ohhhh caaaanaadaaaaaaa
our home and native laaaaaand
those are the only two lines i know

[merry crater]

I always forget national anthems are a thing. Palia deserves a national anthem.

[brittle halo]

I'm sure there's enough band kids in this server to create an anthem for Palia

[merry crater]

Absolutely. When the time is right maybe one will be created.

[warm plover]

ive never been in a band
didnt really go to music lessons in school either because they required you to be able to play an instrument in the first place

[wind ibex]

Anthems need vocals Rin, You would most certainly have a part to play.

[warm plover]

im just lamenting the fact that the music classes in highschool didnt let vocalists in

[wind ibex]

Did they not have choir at your school?

[warm plover]

at primary school yes, in highschool no

[wind ibex]

Sorry to hear that. I know the choir kids at my highschool had a blast, most were also in the Drama class.

[warm plover]

😔

[uneven cliff]

g

[wispy meadow]

My idea of choir kids shift from "high school musical" to "those terrifying kids from that book about lord of flies"

[wind ibex]

My school was somehwere in the middle.

[wispy meadow]

Ahh okay

[brittle halo]

the choir kids are usually the first to form a morally questionable group when introduced to an apocalypse scenario

[merry crater]

I've never seen a highschool without choir. That's a bummer.

I started playing the flute my last year of middle school when I changed school districts. Was a good life choice imo.

[merry crater]

Me. A choir kid

[carmine relic]

I used to play Clarinet

[buoyant heath]

I did too, last week

[carmine relic]

If you never got a Squidward joke, were you ever a clarinet player to begin with?

[peak jetty]

did someone ever ask you if mayonnaise was an instrument

[royal granite]

mayonnaise is definitely an instrument where are you from

clearly not bikini bottom

[buoyant heath]

I'm too old for Squidward jokes

But I do own a clarinet and attempted to play it again last week.

[wind ibex]

I formed the Chess club at my HS, but I was never a part of it...

[merry crater]

How'd that go? Think you can take part in the inevitable preformance of the Palian National Anthem!?

[buoyant heath]

How many awkward squeaks are in the anthem?

[merry crater]

As many as are necessary to get through the song.

[carmine relic]

Man. I haven't played Chess in a pretty long while.

[merry crater]

Palian themed chess pieces would be lovely

[wispy meadow]

I did not realize that was possible 😅

Palian chess would be fun!

[carmine relic]

I'd definitely wanna be the ultimate Palian Chess player

[buoyant heath]

I was already out of high school when it came out, and it was winding down by the time my kid was born

[buoyant heath]

What would you be willing to sacrifice to achieve that?

[carmine relic]

I am already named gambit, why can't they hand it to me

[buoyant heath]

I suppose if you pushed far enough, you'd be up for promotion to that title.

[brittle halo]

a Palia-themed chess set would be a pretty cool collector's item...

[buoyant heath]

Chapaas as the pawns

[carmine relic]

I'll beat just 1 person on my first try, then boast a 100% win rate.

Would Einars be Rooks?

[safe fern]

Happy timezone all

[buoyant heath]

I think Jel definitely seems like the bishop, right?

[carmine relic]

Sounds like a thing Jel would be

[brittle halo]

Ashura is clearly the king, he deserves it

[wind ibex]

The Hunter guy would be the Knight?

[silent cairn]

imagine Ashura actually ends up being the main villain of Palia

that would be the biggest twist in history

[brittle halo]

• Ashura; King
• Eshe; Queen
• Hassian (and Tau); Knight
• Jel; Bishop
• Einar; Rook
• Chappaas; Pawns

sound right?

[wispy meadow]

chef's kiss Perfection

[merry crater]

Love this.

[buoyant heath]

How dare you

[warm plover]

somehow i forgot the name 'sernuk' and managed to think of them as sunkerns
like the pokemon

i can literally never remember the word sernuk correctly

[buoyant heath]

Ninjas throwing sernukin?

[brittle halo]

it sounds like a drunk person tryina say snake whenever I say it in my head

[buoyant heath]

Welp, time to break out the 3D printer, I guess

[wispy meadow]

Okay, now then
Time to wait for the sernuk taming in game and name one sunkern

[warm plover]

😅

[wispy meadow]

Alongside Bambi the honorary

[wind ibex]

You have models?

[carmine relic]

I keep forgetting Sernuk is even a name.

[merry crater]

Could make bootleg pieces by finding models that are "close enough" to the character designs.

[buoyant heath]

One time, one...this time the other day I wrestled a snerk, a sernuk, it was like at least 15 feet long. Wait, how many feet in a meter? Never mind itdonmatter I was with asrhuruuuura and there was this snuk

[wispy meadow]

XD

[buoyant heath]

I may not know how 3D printers work

[carmine relic]

Hearing this story in a tavern with at least 7 other people listening in on the drunk ramblings

[brittle halo]

3D printers are basically magic

[buoyant heath]

I thought you opened a menu and said "CHESS SET" and it makes one for you

[zinc scarab]

They’re very painful to use at first (literally, I was an idiot and burned my hand) but they’re pretty fun once you get used to them

[brittle halo]

they're magic in the way you put in a bunch of weird, seemingly unrelated items into it and say a prayer that it actually works

(also probably a bit of blood)

[carmine relic]

Blood is only used if you displease or anger your ritual's creator

(Aka touching very hot thing or stabbing yourself)

[wispy meadow]

@carmine relic
Where's the other 48 wizards?

[carmine relic]

I have absolutely no idea

[buoyant heath]

Failed 3D prints

[wispy meadow]

That was a good delivery lmaooo

[lime forge]

he beat them all in a duel

[brittle halo]

I feel like it's a Dread Pirate Roberts deal, the title gets passed down and you just add an extra number to it each time

[zinc scarab]

Today I learned I cannot draw fire, like at all

[keen hull]

still feels surreal that there's an mmo that focuses on being chill

[warm plover]

[random coral]

I have a question for S6 but it's a bit niche, and I think only a handful of people on this discord will care. Is it worth putting in #851872239435644928 or is there another way I can ask S6?

[warm plover]

Probably should put it there anyway

If you can catch one of the devs in the chat maybe you can ask them then but I dunno if they wanna be swamped with questions every time they appear (cause that happens sometimes)

[random coral]

Good point, I think I will post it in the questions channel. Thanks!

[warm plover]

👌

[west sparrow]

whats s6?

[thorny cypress]

Singularity 6 - the devs

[brittle halo]

also commonly referred to as SSSSSS

[warm plover]

We actually have some sweet popcorn in the pantry but I already ate a whole pack during a particularly hungry night
there are two more packs and two other people in the household so i shouldnt eat any more

guys i get really hungry at night for some reason :(

[nova raven]

You guys were passing out food while I was napping! Well now I'm gonna go make some pizza

Tish is the name of the villager reveal on Twitter. https://twitter.com/playpalia/status/1418261367723724805?s=21

[ripe skiff]

I love Tish. She is so cute..

[warm plover]

OH SHES A CARPENTER

[nova raven]

O dang her brother is the irreputable cook.

[zinc scarab]

Oh she’s so cute

[celest maple]

Hello

[shadow vine]

Furniture crafting is an art. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[safe fern]

A carpenter 😄

[warm plover]

One day we'll get irreputable cook lore
everyone seems to know em

...By the way, this is only tangentially related, but I hope Nel's doing okay.

[zinc scarab]

Now I have a character to put next to Tamala in the yelling at cat meme

[stray prism]

Tish is GORGEOUS omg

[lethal magnet]

I like Tish and I agree with her that furniture crafting is in fact an art. I'd know, I craft furniture in XIV

[tribal pewter]

Hello! 😄

[fallen sun]

Tish is pretty bae, ngl

[shrewd wave]

I think Tish is my favorite so far

[warm plover]

Tish doesn't have a rude bone in her body. absolute sweetheart (do i sound like a grandma)

[brittle halo]

oh wow time to simp for someone other than Einar or Ashura

[nova raven]

Is the cat Zeki?

[tulip wagon]

I could see a blacksmith being sweet on a carpenter.

[shadow vine]

'Simp' always sounds so negative.

[untold harbor]

she's so cute ; v;

[stray prism]

I feel like almost every time a new character is revealed I fall in love all over again. The designs for them all are SO on point

[nova raven]

Is Nel ok?

[zinc scarab]

It was gonna be a chapaa but now it’s absolutely gonna be Zeki ty for the idea

[warm plover]

I'd hope so

[celest maple]

Well it is often used in negative/self deprecating contexts. 🙂

[serene stratus]

Furniture crafting!!!

🪑 ❗

[stray prism]

@serene stratus It's gonna be WILD

[tiny talon]

Lol my boss is named Tish

[short thorn]

Tesh is qt

[nova raven]

Did something happen that would make us think otherwise? You just kinda said that out of nowhere.

[worthy rose]

I LOVE TISH

[tulip wagon]

Failing health and a compulsion to be nice to people? Sounds so relatable!

[past vessel]

My thoughts exactly lol.

[warm plover]

Her twitter

[safe fern]

Heck yeah, I wonder if she's who we go to for all of the house improvements or just furniture

[celest maple]

All I see is a bunch of political content on her Twitter. Am I missing something? I hope she's doing great.

[shadow vine]

Visual crafting would be awesome, being able to personalize your goods would be a monstrous positive step.

[merry crater]

Tish.

[serene stratus]

What happened??

[safe fern]

Let's maybe not bring that up here

[blazing pebble]

Heck ye new character drop

[tulip wagon]

Tish happened.

[tiny talon]

I think that's just related to the recent articles about Activision

[edgy cloak]

Furniture crafting?

[tough orchid]

👀

[warm plover]

Yeah I don't want to talk about it indepth cause its not my place, but I just hope she's feeling okay

[stray prism]

Yep!!

[serene stratus]

Oooooh yes, that could definitely bring about strong emotions

[nova raven]

There was some animal crossingesc game that I saw on steam that had a lot of interesting little tweaks you could do with furniture customization. Like adjust exactly how throw pillows are place on your couch.

[shadow vine]

Yes, that's Hokko Life.

[nova raven]

KK, thank you for the insight @warm plover

[shadow vine]

But am thinking in a less "change the way the game works" thing. Like... even if you could simply write and save textual descriptions for your items you sell.

[serene stratus]

But yes, back to FURNITURE CRAFTING. As a base building style player I am H Y P E D 🚪 🛏️ 🛋️

[hidden lynx]

Tish is best girl 🥰

[shadow vine]

For when people look at the thing you make, have it show who made it and allow them to write their own descriptions. (THough it would have to possibly be moderated because the internet is dark and full of trollers)

[hollow echo]

Tish cosplay inc

[rich crescent]

Tiiish

[iron pagoda]

Think I have a bit of a crush on Tish 😻

[honest widget]

I feel like my character and Tish are going to get along well considering I want to mostly focus on furniture crafting when the game comes out

[rich crescent]

my heart that desires more main, hand-work npc women could only be happier if we get woman blacksmith

[nova raven]

I just had a thought, since a lot of games show the name of whoever crafted the gear your wearing, what if Palia lets you add a "Signature" or "Tooltip" to any items you make as an extra little way to make that item more personal

[shadow vine]

Exactly. I was thinking if you could make a small, say 64x64 "stamp" you could add to your goods.

[buoyant heath]

Okay, but I was kinda hoping Tish would be carrying a gun

[edgy cloak]

Patent items, then you can sell them in a shop? Though that comes with it's own problems

[blazing pebble]

Tish is gonna get tired of me real fast cause of how often I'll be visiting her shop 😂

[serene stratus]

The real question is just how in depth is the furniture crafting? Animal Crossing not only has a pretty wide library of pieces, but also the ability to upload your own textures to a bunch of them is OP

[short thorn]

I'd love an animal crossing furniture crafting system. Just nice, simple and to the point

[warm plover]

Cinn is outside your window

[stray prism]

I hope there's a dye system where you can choose the colour schemes. Beyond that I'm happy with just a selection of different furniture

[nova raven]

Honestly I want a crafting system that's a little more involved

[short thorn]

brb gonna craft the amulet of mara for Tesh

[serene stratus]

Making dyes out of ingredients we have to find or grow would be cool

[nova raven]

Rather than just have the items in your inventory and press a button

[blazing pebble]

I hope theres like a stack system for small things cause having to make multiple of the same item in animal crossing one at a time is pain

[edgy cloak]

If PCs can develop relationships with NPCs, and this is an MMO game, how does the story work when an NPC is married to 20,000 players?

I'm also wondering about this.....

[short thorn]

They have a very active social life

[hollow echo]

clones

[brittle halo]

it's called polyamory, just on a whole different level

[blazing pebble]

Alternate reality? 😳

[stray prism]

Yeah! I played another game which had that same system and it worked great. Plenty of goal-oriented choices without being overwhelming and difficult to make choices from

[short thorn]

okay dear, I've been with you today, gotta go see kyleminecraftlegend69 tomorrow

[ocean stone]

How many timelines are overlapping 😳

[merry crater]

It's one of those things where I feel like the game knows it's a game so it's leaning into absurdity.

Just don't think too much about it.

[hidden lynx]

Honestly Tish is so pretty I'm so glad she finally got announced 🥺 now we don't have to call her pie lady !

[cunning grotto]

All of them

[safe fern]

Reminds me of the plot to Her lol

[serene stratus]

Indeed

This was also directly addressed with NPCs in The Guild 😆

[edgy cloak]

That just breaks the immersion for me lol. I hope it works some other way, but I don't know how

[shut hinge]

It's fairly common in mmo's that you are playing through the same story as everyone else through the lense of a protag.

[buoyant heath]

Thanks for getting to this before I could

[blazing pebble]

I feel like this game I'm just gonna be friends with everyone lmao idk if I'm gonna date npcs lol

[vernal knot]

polyamory in the digital world…

[buoyant heath]

I'm still gonna call her pie lady, tbh

[short thorn]

I don't need your polyamory. I'll make my own harem! With blackjack and Ashuras! In fact, forget the Harem!

[blazing pebble]

Ashura has to explain why he's dating everyone

[ocean stone]

It's fantastic when you're plastic pixels

[brittle halo]

... that just sounds like polyamory with extra steps

[merry crater]

I get that take. I'm sure it is a difficult thing to decide on dev wise since it's an mmo that'll appeal to people who play titles like Stardew Valley who are used to romancing NPCs and such.

One of those "cant please everyone" issues.

[nova raven]

Maybe she didn't make the pie now that we know she's a carpenter and her brother is the cook. Perhaps we've traded a Pie Girl for a Pie Boy

[wintry dragon]

good morning

[serene stratus]

Definitely can't please everyone. One game cannot be every thing to everyone

[celest maple]

I just hope that romancing won't be required in the game/wont give people a benefit over others because they choose to romance. 🙂

[remote latch]

Yeah me too, I’ll just keep them liking me but no romancing . Not my cup of tea.

[blazing pebble]

A pie guy? 🤔

[cunning grotto]

Hah

[short thorn]

That's amore

[edgy cloak]

I've never played stardew. How does romancing NPCs work there? If one NPC married to a million other players?

[safe fern]

Ohhhh of course!

[silk finch]

morning everyone

[brittle halo]

honestly the best way to describe smth like this is that one scene from Parks & Rec with April and her boyfriend and his boyfriend

[nova raven]

All in favor of the rein of Pie Guy?

[blazing pebble]

Pie Guy superiority

[short thorn]

In stardew, you're the only player there I think, so one character is married to just you in that world

[zinc scarab]

We know the cook isn’t liked by very many villagers maybe he wasn’t invited to the picnic :(

[wintry dragon]

Stardew is single player focused

[short thorn]

Who made the food for the picnic then

[merry crater]

Since it's mostly a single player game there are many players all married to the same NPC.

Pulling the concept into an MMO is interesting.

[silk finch]

in multiplayer tho if someone marries an NPC the other player cant

[cunning grotto]

starts chanting Pie Guy, Pie Guy, Pie Guy...

[serene stratus]

No there is multiplayer if you want it. Marriages there are first come, first served

[short thorn]

Just like real life

[edgy cloak]

Wait, stardew is not an mmo? Ok nevermind.....

[vernal knot]

just like real li- damn

[blazing pebble]

In multiplayer players can marry each other which I think is really cute. Wish that was me 😌

[short thorn]

kek

[blazing pebble]

In stardew I mean

[silk finch]

I hope we can do that in Palia too

[short thorn]

Marry each other?

[blazing pebble]

Honestly same itll be so cute!

[silk finch]

yeah

[slim shard]

Tish and I will become the bestest of Friends! ❤️

[nova raven]

I always took it as he was just a bad cook. Didn't think about the fact that he might just be an asshole lol

[merry crater]

My hubbin has agreed to marry me in game if it ends up being a thing lol

[zinc scarab]

HAHAHA I never thought he might just be a terrible cook

[wispy meadow]

AHHH
FURNITURE CRAFTING!!
CAN WE MAKE OUR OWN FURNITURE?!?

[cunning grotto]

Man I can't wait to be single in Palia too :

[wanton lichen]

ah so Tish is the npc who will make me a Tisch (german for table) x)

[edgy cloak]

I hope so. With a player driven economy to sell them

[cunning grotto]

My emojis just crapped the bed

[blazing pebble]

Male Asshole Cook sounds like a contender for my bad taste in favourite characters

[short thorn]

I'll have a volleyball with a handprint on it and a wig sitting in my house, that's all I need

[zinc scarab]

Gordon Ramsey

[short thorn]

Gordon is actually a sweetheart off camera tho haha

[blazing pebble]

LMAOO 😂 😂 😂

[short thorn]

Just not to incompetent people or bad cooks :v

[blazing pebble]

I laughed irl

[cunning grotto]

Gordon in Palia when

[merry crater]

I would love for Tish's brother to be revealed next.

[edgy cloak]

Can we have some creature reveals instead of people?

I hope for creature reveals

[warm star]

Wonder if #1 silhouette is her brother?

[nova raven]

Man that takes his job very seriously and expects anyone that shares the kitchen with him to be just as serious

[safe fern]

Yeah definitely, I need to know who this cook guy is

[safe fern]

We've just had the sernuk this week though

[edgy cloak]

Who?

[nova raven]

I've been shouting for the wooly oxes reveal for a week!

[merry crater]

Maybe they'll keep tricking animal reveals and such separately from villager vote.

[nova raven]

I thought we already knew the sernuk?

[warm plover]

the sernuk are the deer

[zinc scarab]

Is there a way to report things to mods? Someone used a slur in #👋│introductions :(

[blazing pebble]

Me who loves cooking mechanics and men be like 😏

[safe fern]

Yeah we didn't know their names though

[short thorn]

Are there any monsters in Palia, like legit Megadolon sort of deal?

[nova raven]

o yea that guys looking for trouble

[blazing pebble]

Sorry guys I dont even know what this guy looks like but I'm already a fan

[merry crater]

Are we allowed to @ the mods at a time like this?

Nvmd someone did.

[nova raven]

Lets start profiling him! Theres a few hints in other Villagers profile information

[blazing pebble]

I mean it's their job innit so

[merry crater]

There is? 👀

[blazing pebble]

👀 👀

[serene stratus]

I really don't understand attention seekers like that

[zinc scarab]

I wouldn’t mind it too much but slurs are not okay

[honest widget]

Looks like he's been removed by mods

[edgy cloak]

He just wants to be the best baker in town 🍞

[short thorn]

Just that, attention seekers. They usually do that, but then when they get kicked, they do "Hee hee oh my gosh" while recoiling in their chair, laughing with no one to share it to, because they probably drove away everyone else by doing the same thing

[celest maple]

What happened

[short thorn]

So don't worry about it too much, let's keep chatting about Palia and move on lol

[serene stratus]

Exactly

[merry crater]

No worries.

I must hunt down the hints of Tish's bro.

[zinc scarab]

We know he’s probably blonde and has blue eyes
Is either a bad cook or a bad person (or both who knows)
…and that’s all I know

[safe fern]

All I got about the cook is that he works at the inn and is disreputable, and now Tish's brother

[merry crater]

Was he labled as "bad cook"?

[blazing pebble]

Idk if cook and baker are the same character but he's friends with the cat man

[frozen cosmos]

Hai friendos

[short thorn]

Hello o/

[nova raven]

Hmmmmmm I have some information to share regarding the cook!

[zinc scarab]

No but he’s “disreputable”

[merry crater]

Ahh disreputable.

[short thorn]

About thyme. What's up?

[honest widget]

He gave his sister a flower hair pin thing so maybe he's nice to people he likes at least. I bet he's just an awful cook

[safe fern]

I think in Zeki's bio he's called shady, so bad rep due to bad behaviour comes to mind

[blazing pebble]

Looking through all the character bios and finding out theres so many attractive people help 😭 I couldnt date cause I wouldnt know who to choose 😂

[short thorn]

He tried cooking the flower pin, didn't go well and just gave it to his sister so he can work on his next project

[frozen cosmos]

I haven't been really able to look through all of this discord because I'm in the middle of moving but I am so excited for this game

[short thorn]

Ashura ofc :v

[safe fern]

Ah no he's not, I imagined that lol

[short thorn]

I hope you enjoy the community and the game as well!

[remote latch]

Thought for the day. Tish is the sister of the cook. Ashura is the only one who can tolerate the disreputable cook. Ergo. Ashura is father of Tish and the cook,

[short thorn]

Oh no a dilf

[frozen cosmos]

[blazing pebble]

Adoptive father or biological?

Cause Adoptive father has story potential 😌

[zinc scarab]

Oh that’d be so cool!

[remote latch]

I’d say by the looks of them possibly biological but who knows what each of their stories will show is.

[short thorn]

I'd love to learn his story!

Also how do I make my name pink, I don't like this green ;;

[blazing pebble]

It's based on ur roles

[zinc scarab]

To make it bright pink you have to boost the server

If you want a different color without changing or removing pronoun roles choose either chapaa or chuu

[merry crater]

I feel bad focusing on Tish's unannounced brother instead of her. She is/was a sick lady D: wonder what illness.

Rather "health condition"

[vernal knot]

it says she moved to the village to recover, so i hope shes feeling better now :((

[blazing pebble]

Yeah sorry lmao we should focus on Tish lmao

[celest maple]

It's fine, she doesn't exist in real life. 🙂

[blazing pebble]

Sorry Tish ilu too

[warm gorge]

hello Tish 😉 grrr

[edgy cloak]

will there will be seasons or regions of different seasons??
One hour in-game = one day, it's not very plausible unless they increase that time

[nova raven]

In Zeki's profile it says he's close with "The Chef at the Inn" and in Ashura's it says he's the only one that's will to take a chance on the "Disreputable Cook". My thinking is these might be 2 different people.

[honest widget]

Could have been stress related hence moving to a quieter place. Maybe we'll get a medicine sidequest or something

[short thorn]

I want it the same pink as art cono-something

[celest maple]

Craft a stress ball

[short thorn]

It's a nice soothing pink 'u'

[blazing pebble]

Maybe unassign ur roles and select that role first?

[zinc scarab]

You’ll have to yeet your pronoun role and choose art connoisseur

[honest widget]

Could even tie it in to a gift giving system

[short thorn]

I tried haha

[celest maple]

That's very smart!

[short thorn]

Oh oof, I'll consider it later, for the greater good

[nova raven]

could just keep the time cycle but have seasons change based on IRL Dates

[obsidian marsh]

hello guys

[merry crater]

I didn't realize that was officially announced. Is nice to know.

Wouldn't surprise me if it's just changed to reflect irl seasons. Might not be able to be the most realistic in terms of farming sims, but is a way I've seen other games handle it.

RIP to our southern hemisphere friends if it's based on northern seasons tho.

[blazing pebble]

I'm quite suprised days are so short tbh.

[edgy cloak]

I feel like 1 hour is too short, or is that just me

[celest maple]

Why have the days be so short?

[zinc scarab]

I think it’s a good time, especially if crops grow depending on the days since they’ve been planted

[honest widget]

It's still early so I wouldn't be surprised if they change it if player feedback suggests it feels short

[merry crater]

Is an okay balance imo for players who can only play for an hour or two irl. They'll get to experience the full day night cycle during their session.

[nova raven]

I brought up a few of these questions yesterday in term of how things will be affected as they usually are in farming sims based on season. Like Crops. Will we have seasonal crops? Will we be able to grow anything all year round and but have bonus's to yield or payout for growing things in season?

[celest maple]

Why not have crops and similar mechanics be based on time then?

[blazing pebble]

Idk it works in stardew but idk how its gonna work here

[zinc scarab]

yeah true, that’d make more sense (also yay my emote :D)

[merry crater]

Making a farming sim related mmo definantly brings up some interesting balance issues for sure.

[nova raven]

Only thing I'm worried about with the time amounts are NPC patterns. will they have enough time in a 30 min day to go about their daily business?

[zinc scarab]

Everyone sprints across the town

[honest widget]

They must be very fit and healthy

[zinc scarab]

Or they’re all wearing heelies

[edgy cloak]

Currently 1 hour in game = 24 hours in real life. Even though I know it's not set in stone, that's the only thing that worries me a bit. I'm afraid it's too fast to fully enjoy the calm and relaxing side of the game. Have you had any feedback on this?
This question in #851872239435644928 makes the most sense to me

[cobalt adder]

I personally hope they adjust the time. A garden party at dusk would be so nice with a purple sky, starshine, and lanterns to enhance the mood for more than just a few minutes in game

[celest maple]

I also like the immersive feel of the time in game reflecting time in real life.

[nova raven]

Also now I'm curious what happens when a player interacts with an npc while they're in route to a place? Usually something like stardew valley stops the in game timer so they still have time to get to their next location, but cant do that here.

[blazing pebble]

Me on one side of town tryna reach the other before Ashura goes to sleep 🏃 💨

[honest widget]

I wonder if there's someone else working at the Inn during the evening and night time

[zinc scarab]

Maybe they just don’t have dialogue while moving?

[nova raven]

Plus it could be kinda annoying not having access to stores for 15-30 mins every hour

[devout ocean]

I don't remember what it was, but some game I played way back when dealt with that by not allowing you to talk to the NPCs while they're moving. Maybe Palia would do this, or we'll be able to walk & talk?

[edgy cloak]

Wait, where and how do we build our homes? Can we have it next to our friend's home?

[uneven pebble]

😵‍💫 Man, I feel the 43 second window time we had today... Feels good to be off.

Hope everyone's had a good day.

[blazing pebble]

I think it's like stardew where u have ur own farm area separate form the town

[merry crater]

This is where making the days even longer would feel rough. Shops being closed and NPCs potentially sleeping through a longer night would be rough.

[honest widget]

I feel like if they have npcs working the night shift it could solve a lot of potential problems with the 1 hour day or even longer days

[nova raven]

Only way I can see it working is if the npc's dont necessarily go through a whole days worth of activities in the 1 hour, but instead mostly stay in their one place, but then saaay every 3 day cycles Ashura goes to visit the Remembrance Garden.

[cobalt adder]

"I love to watch the fine mist of the night come on,
The windows and the stars illumined, one by one,
The rivers of dark smoke pour upward lazily,
And the moon rise and turn them silver. I shall see
The springs, the summers, and the autumns slowly pass;
And when old Winter puts his blank face to the glass,
I shall close all my shutters, pull the curtains tight,
And build me stately palaces by candlelight."

[zinc scarab]

NPCs have a better sleep schedule than the majority of people playing the game

[blazing pebble]

Calling us all out 😂

[edgy cloak]

My sleep schedule will be fine until this game releases

[merry crater]

Is this an atac?

[zinc scarab]

I’m not exactly the pinnacle of healthy sleep patterns either

[merry crater]

I don't know anyone who is.

[short thorn]

I sleep every day before midnight, at least 11:30 or earlier, and I wake every day at 5 or 6am

[blazing pebble]

My life now is just gonna be getting through my final year at uni and making my Palia house look awesome

[short thorn]

It's just a habit you gotta form and willpower to actually do it

[nova raven]

Roughly Me

[uneven pebble]

Game aint even out and my sleep schedule is shit.
This is what happens when you are biologically a night owl on opening shift

[blazing pebble]

Tbf I sleep well usually. Try to go to bed before 12am

Its waking up which is hard 😔

[short thorn]

The thing that gets me out of bed every morning is knowing that I can draw anime waifus on my sketchboard and work on anatomy and physiology

[cobalt adder]

Having young kids in the world today has upped my anxiety and as a result reduced my sleep quality. I'm to bed just after them (sometimes even before" and I'm awake before the birds

[edgy cloak]

any possibility to introduce NFTs in the game?
What's an NFT?

[blazing pebble]

To whoever tf suggested NFTs

Uh no lmao

No thanks

[patent dust]

Nft is crypto, and no, this is not that kind of game

[edgy cloak]

#851872239435644928

[celest maple]

I'd like to have some kind of a marketplace though, like the Grand Exchange, to tinker with.

[blazing pebble]

Yeah ingame currency is fine but nfts arent really it chief

[celest maple]

What's with the intense blowback against NFTs? If this game is not about that, then there's no need to be overly hostile about it. 😕

[wintry dragon]

Bad for the environment I think

[blazing pebble]

I just see them as a scam concept and I've heard the computers they run arent arent environmentally friendly

[wind ibex]

I'm still confused as to what NFT even is...

[short thorn]

I just want this to be a simple "Play and go" game. No NFT or battlepass or anything plz ;;

[blazing pebble]

I'm not tryna be hostile though I'm just against using them cause they seem so unsafe

[serene stratus]

No one was being hostile

[kindred sable]

tish seems very wholesome

[merry crater]

Tish is lovely

I want to drink tea and chat about life with her.

[serene stratus]

Now I'm (re)watching the trailer video again and wondering what kind of furniture we can make 🪑

[blazing pebble]

Also theres no legal protection so if ur hacked and robbed of ur nft currency, ur done basically so it's just not a good investment

But I'll drop it 😔 ✌️

[nova raven]

I def want a tea area in my yard

[cunning grotto]

I want to make stone furniture

[patent dust]

Can y'all take the nft talk to #💬│off-topic-chat please

[honest widget]

I'll probably be spending a lot of time in her shop considering I want to get into the furniture crafting business so I'm glad she seems nice

[blazing pebble]

Well I'm done now so 👍

[timid night]

hi my pals

[zinc scarab]

Hello

[nova raven]

Wooden Nature aesthetics mixed with bright accent colors for me

[merry crater]

The idea of growing our own tea and coffe is always a popular though. I hope it ends up being a thing we can do~

Hot cocoa too maybe.

[celest maple]

I just want to grind and farm materials.

[serene stratus]

Okay now I'm wondering- How many times have yall watched the trailer ❓

[short thorn]

Could be a thing where we can add random ingredients, get either bad or good tea, and truly make it our own recipe

[blazing pebble]

I want a ranch lmao

Animals let's goo

[honest widget]

Love this idea would be great if we could use our cooking skills to make fancy teas and coffees too

[queen shore]

a cute carpenter 🤔

[nova raven]

5 or 6 times

[blazing pebble]

I've seen the trailer like?? Twice I think

[celest maple]

What customisation items on Palia are on your wishlists?

[blazing pebble]

I've been watching a load of information videos tho lol

[serene stratus]

I'm shocked, where are the people that have seen it dozens or more

[wind ibex]

Recipes could use tags like (meat), (veggie), (sauce), and depending on which meat, veggie, and sauce you use, you get a different meal.

[queen shore]

I want fancy codpieces

[zinc scarab]

That’d be really interesting! It’d be a cool way to add variety :D

[blazing pebble]

For character customisation personally some items that maybe help people who dont wanna be a human and can pretend theyre something else? Like elf ears or vampire fangs? That would be cool.

[high narwhal]

I want to pick the color. Be able to dye or paint

[blazing pebble]

Idk for me I wouldnt mind being not human

[honest widget]

Lots of decorations for houses. Not necessarily anything with a function but just things to make homes more unique and match aesthetic tastes

[merry crater]

Had to look up codpiece. I'm down with customizable accessories. This might be a bit much though. Lol

[zinc scarab]

I’m hoping to be able to dye clothes and perhaps change the fabric on certain pieces of furniture

[wind ibex]

Could use the tag system for all crafting, like when making furniture, you select what materials you want to use for the different components, and depending on what you use, it changes the outcome.

[dull dragon]

It would be fun to have to grow the plants for the dyes (like growing indigo, cultivating beetles, gathering snails)

[queen shore]

you could have one that looks like a fish. a codpiece if you will.

[wind ibex]

The puns are back...

[dull dragon]

I just hope the UI allows for bulk crafting

[blazing pebble]

Something that would be funny is a plant similar to cow plants in the sims. Like if u dont water it, it tries to eat ur or smthn idk lol

[merry crater]

I'm all for a plant that doubles as a pet.

[short thorn]

I said that about tea tho ;;

[celest maple]

I'd like to be able to cover my face as much as possible. Helmets, masks, veils or even full head bandages are fair game.

[blazing pebble]

I hope the charcater customisation is good cause I live that stuff in animal crossing, sims, wow etc

[celest maple]

Scuba masks. 👍

[wind ibex]

Looks at pic This is the way.

[blazing pebble]

Main reason I played wow was cause of the transmogging until I found out most of it is hidden behind grinding😔

[merry crater]

Same. Am happy spending over an hour tinkering with my characters.

[buoyant heath]

I want full tactical armor

[celest maple]

It's worth it, and it also opens up a big market for people to engage in and dedicate time into competing in.

[honest widget]

I hope so too. I hate spending ages in character customisation or getting new armour just to find that many other peoples characters look near identical to mine

[blazing pebble]

Yeah I'm sure it's worth it but I just dont really have the time 😔

[blazing pebble]

Hate when that happens 😂

[wind ibex]

I hope that there doesn't end up being any exclusive, limited time, or cash shop only items.

[celest maple]

I'd like to see some kind of barber-surgeon that you can go to to change any character customisation aspects that you've picked.

[merry crater]

Limited time stuff (unless it's seasonal and will be back next year) makes me sad in games.

[tulip wagon]

Diving helmet??

[celest maple]

I used to use both the diving helmet and the goblin rocket helmet consistently on World of Warcraft. Definitively a diving helmet.

[merry crater]

Welding mask??

[wind ibex]

If I see someone with something I like, I want to be able to work at getting it myself as well. I hate it when I see something and think "Oh, that is cool." only to find out you have to pay 80 bucks for it, or that the item can no longer be obtained.

[merry crater]

/has never played WOW

[tulip wagon]

I need it!!!

[merry crater]

Would be perfect.

[honest widget]

Always wanted to get at least one of those for transmog but never got round to it

[blazing pebble]

I really liked the moutns in wow. Makes me think about what mounts will be in Palia

Dragon mount? 👀

[tulip wagon]

I'm still hoping for a giant tortoise

[merry crater]

Giant sernuk!?

[blazing pebble]

Based opinion

[ember vapor]

i know this is probably something thats asked a lot so sorry for being a bother, but is anyone aware of how many waves they're planning on doing? 🙂

[tulip wagon]

I will arrive eventally

[zinc scarab]

Waiting for a gigantic Portuguese man-o-war

[glass totem]

will the steam deck run palia

[blazing pebble]

I would happily ride around on my giant tortoise

[tulip wagon]

Something I would love to see floating past my house

[zinc scarab]

As far as we’re aware the pre-alpha waves are over, unfortunately

[tulip wagon]

Unknown at this time.

[tulip wagon]

Unknown at this time.

[ember vapor]

oh 😦 hopefully I can catch it in alpha then! I don't assume it'll be free to play?

[tulip wagon]

Testing phases will be free to play

[glass totem]

so ominous

[tulip wagon]

Spoopy even!

[blazing pebble]

Yeh and even if it was pay to play I cant imagine it being too expensive

[merry crater]

Pricing hasn't been determind for the final game. I hope if there is an alpha you get to join in!!!

[glass totem]

spooper

[ember vapor]

im happy paying for something like this honestly so i wouldn't mind, some games like to get people to pay to get access to alphas/betas

[blazing pebble]

In alpha at least

[glass totem]

appreciate the answer

[tulip wagon]

This game is fully and fatly funded, so they don't want our money right now.

They just want our attention and feedback

[ember vapor]

Me and my friends are sick of grinding the same mmos. We aren't even bothered about combat, we just wanna fish and have a relaxed time aha, and yeah i saw, whopping 30m oof

[blazing pebble]

Understandable tbh

I'm the same, tired of grinding, just wanna vibe
