[sand barn]

Only if you behave berry

[heavy dew]

I ALWAYS behave, I am the behave

[sand barn]

[heavy dew]

Probably to make it looks compact instead of really long and finish on 3 words

[maiden canopy]

wecome Amelia

[warm plover]

it just feels like a weird place to put that

[distant oar]

I'll be here!

[heavy dew]

or else

I mean, good, good

[sand barn]

We got our collective eyes on you Nel!

[heavy dew]

We art indeed watching

[sand barn]

I bet you're really proud of that one, artent you Berry?

[remote latch]

And the puns begin rofl

[heavy dew]

Unberrybly proud

[remote latch]

I need an eye roll emote rofl .. facepalm doesn't seem right in every instance

[heavy dew]

I'll add it to the list

[sand barn]

An eye roll?! But his pun was unberryvably good!

[remote latch]

of course they are .. but when he starts ... sigh

[heavy dew]

Do you think it's emberrysing?

[left pebble]

Ooo movement in the team! Congrats on taking that opportunity nel, and hi amelia!

[buoyant heath]

I think Amelia is pretty cool, but that's just me

[summer obsidian]

Potatoes, eyes, Badruu...there's a joke here somewhere

Awww, Amelia's pfp is sooo cute!

[heavy dew]

Maybe she likes art 👀

[remote latch]

hi Amelia 🐱 says miaow

[carmine relic]

I am late but WELCOME AMELIA!

[warm plover]

[summer obsidian]

See Rin, Amelia already likes you: "Community Lead for Singularity 6. Lovers of cats, roller skating, flying, and movies."

[tranquil cosmos]

Amelia is a precious bean

[worthy rose]

we love Amelia

[distant oar]

She is the absolute best!

[tranquil cosmos]

[heavy dew]

^ me at nice people

[cinder temple]

I'll hold my judgment on Amelia until I see her post a good meme.

[summer obsidian]

haha, uh-oh...gauntlet has been thrown

[heavy dew]

You gonna let him talk like this? 👀

[cinder temple]

These are the fires by which hires are tested.

[carmine relic]

I wonder if this means we're gonna see a lot more dev-to-community communication, now?

[zinc scarab]

Idk but Amelia seems cool

[remote latch]

hmm its Monday .. so .. in theory .. there should be a new villager vote 🙂

[sand barn]

They're finally giving us ? !

[left pebble]

Will the villager votes keep going with the change? 👀

[whole gyro]

Hello Amelia

[left pebble]

Also, have I missed any lore besides the villager votes?

[carmine relic]

I don't think so, no

[remote latch]

I'm sure they will .. wizardcrab was doing them the last week or two

[left pebble]

Great :D

[buoyant heath]

I mean, the community lead was on vacation and all the normally scheduled stuff went ahead. I don't know what communication was expected that was missed out on.

[carmine relic]

Eh, fair enough. I think folks really just wanna see a bit more than another image of the town center

Though, that's a risky slope to go showing, since things are so early that showing something that might not be final is... y'know.

[warm plover]

more pictures of tau

[zinc scarab]

Hmm so is Nel in charge of adding the emotes now or is it Amelia?

[remote latch]

True there is that .. more animals .. more plants .. more people .. more scenery .. more .. erm .. everything Palia 🙂 .. That can be provided of course 🙂

[heavy dew]

Amelia will be the one I'm spamming for emotes

Now you know Amelia

[summer obsidian]

I would guess...anything you normally would have reached out to Nel for...you will now reach out to Amelia now

[heavy dew]

I asked

[warm plover]

smugyatta

[heavy dew]

I'm bulk sending as always

[summer obsidian]

except memes...I still require memes all the time from Nel

[pallid igloo]

(sneaky sneaks into the conversation) Hi, everyone! Thank you so much for the kind welcome. I am now very cognizant of what my first meme posted will be 🤣
We will be continuing Villager Votes, so you can definitely keep expecting to see new character reveals over the next few weeks! Because we're still in super early development, we're being very cautious about what we share in terms of sneak peeks because everything is subject to change, and we want to be responsible with how we tell the story (and it's such a cool story, I am so excited to geek out over it with you!).

How did everyone like the #❓│old-team-answers-alpha segment last week? Did it give you some extra tidbits/insight? (Also, if you were looking really close, you might have noticed I threw a comment in there...)

[warm plover]

amelia loves aesthetics (and spreadsheets)

[pallid igloo]

You'll be seeing me around chat more, but we'll continue to be pretty strategic with how we share details about the game. So if by "communication" you mean "memes", then yes, yes you will!

[carmine relic]

Aye, that'll do!

[pallid igloo]

Rin has nailed my entire personhood in 5 words.

[warm plover]

[buoyant heath]

🫂

[sand barn]

Meme it up!

[remote latch]

excellent .. I love spreadsheets too rofl

[keen latch]

Ahh a Spread sheet goblin, the best type of goblins

[pallid igloo]

Can't wait, Lord Berry! ❤️

[wind ibex]

Rin is awesome, and continues to prove why.

[heavy dew]

Brace, they're incoming in 15 seconds

[pallid igloo]

Ah, we are well met!

[pallid igloo]

In most everything I do, it is goblinned.

[keen latch]

gasp so much power

[cinder temple]

It's so nice when you introduce a new cat and the other cats don't challenge it to a duel. Wholesome Palia.

[warm plover]

[worthy rose]

I'm using excel rn can we pls be friends

[wind ibex]

[remote latch]

yes you are Rin .. you just don't realise it

[pallid igloo]

YUP

[warm plover]

yall meanies

[remote latch]

confused .. being nice to you and we are meanies .. 🤣

[pallid igloo]

So when you say you want to hear more about Palia- if you had to choose one thing, what would you want to know more about? The items, the resources, the lore, the characters, the gameplay...?

[buoyant heath]

In before release date and monetization plan

[keen latch]

oooof, lore, I can theroy craft a lot more from that and I assume we can get more earlier than mechanics

[whole gyro]

I'm more into the Lore

[wind ibex]

Gameplay for me. Lore I will dig into when I get to play, wouldn't want too much of the lore spoiled beforehand.

[keen latch]

https://tenor.com/view/typing-several-people-are-typing-gif-15407184

[carmine relic]

I'd pick gameplay too.

[worthy rose]

I think most of the public would lean towards gameplay, you can speculate a lot more off of gameplay!

[cinder temple]

I'd pick resources - whichever ones have been figured out - since the method of acquiring them might change as the game gets made. Releasing the name, look, and intended use of a resource can spark all kinds of theories.

[tranquil cosmos]

Gameplay trailer when 👀

[remote latch]

If I were to choose .. I would love to know more about your neighbourhood system, I read that it is very indepth ( if it is has its system fleshed out yet of course ) .. otherwise .. maybe something similar to the villager vote but with the animals and/or plants etc .. or a skills tools to slowly introduce them as you flesh them out and cement them into the game

[warm plover]

CRITTER REVEALS

well i guess i also want gameplay
but can we have critter options when it comes to villager votes? i wanna see the kitsuu and ormuu

[left pebble]

It's the lore for me tbh, creatures, books, anything that tells us what the world of palia is

[marble hedge]

... spousal absence support....

[keen latch]

The kitsuu yakuzaa would prefer a kitsuu release ofc

[warm plover]

i believe in you wippit

[marble hedge]

... and maybe new skills....

[keen latch]

#wippitsupportgroup

[summer obsidian]

absence makes the heart grow...more fond of Palia?

[buoyant heath]

Trust me, a Pre-alpha spouse can get through this and survive. My ex-wife is doing fine.

[worthy rose]

imagine if instead of being cold and lonely you could hug a warm fluffy chapaa

[carmine relic]

I wouldn't trust a chappa

[worthy rose]

I dont trust you >:(

[summer obsidian]

oh yeah, chapaa plushies...that's what I need more than anything

[buoyant heath]

Never trust a nish

[marble hedge]

I mean, I expect game merch to be a thing...

[wind ibex]

I counter with Kitsuu Plushies

[zinc scarab]

More about the charactersss I am so sad and alone but at least I can have fictional friends

[warm plover]

amelia give us the forbidden animal reveals

[remote latch]

you forgot the magic word Rin

[keen latch]

How dare you assume we arnt your friend mango

[pallid igloo]

What could go wrong with leaking info immediately? 👼

[warm plover]

abracadabra

(i only meant as an option in the villager votes
...please?)

[wind ibex]

You don't have to be alone. There are plenty of people here who would gladly be your friends.

[tranquil cosmos]

Amelia playing the "how fast can I be fired" game

[remote latch]

oh definitely not immediately .. we have 'much less than 3 years' to cope without the game .. so .. gradual release is fine .. just a bit more often and maybe a bit more detail if possible 🙂

[hidden plover]

Gameplay is a dodgy subject considering how early it is at this stage, I think. Personally I'd wanna know more about player interactions with the other characters.

[buoyant heath]

Leak the fact that Badruu was 100% based on my likeness

[marble hedge]

If that's true, I dread a character based on me...

[worthy rose]

*dadruu

[sullen bison]

The gameplay and the lore! :D It's fun seeing the character reveals, but it would be good to see Palia action, or to place the characters in context within the lore more.

[carmine relic]

I better be seeing weathered slates telling of wizards named Gambit doing dumb things

[warm plover]

one day we'll find out who ashura is mourning at the remembrance garden

[zinc scarab]

I wish I could talk to y’all more :( stuck in American Canada for now

[warm plover]

and also what conflict he used to be part of with his scar and sword...

keeper of the lore

[carmine relic]

He probably made the fatal mistake of hugging a hcappa

[pallid igloo]

There are definitely lots of questions about Ashura I can't wait to 🍿 over with you

[warm plover]

bringing a sword to a chapaa hug... understandable. theyre feisty

[worthy rose]

it's member 7635 for leaking ||[REDACTED]||

[warm plover]

wow you guys have 7635 people in the prealpha?

[topaz path]

no

[worthy rose]

[carmine relic]

Guess we gotta find out who 7,635 is gonna be

[worthy rose]

I left out a decimal somewhere in there

[buoyant heath]

member 0.7635

[topaz path]

oh i thought you were calling out someone's discord number

[worthy rose]

noooooo, I didn't even think of that lmao

[pallid igloo]

It was so nice to meet all of you, and thank you so much for the warm welcome! I've made some notes on what folks want to see next, and I'll see what we can rustle up 😉
I need to step AFK for a little while, but please don't hesitate to DM me if you need anything at all! 💜

[summer obsidian]

(looks at lottery ticket to see if it says 7635)

[remote latch]

oh, Amelia, another thing that would be cool, if it isn't part of the lore gathering adventure story ... more familial info please .. I can't complete my villager family tree without connection info 🙂

[buoyant heath]

Wow you are brave

[pallid igloo]

Correct.

[heavy dew]

Confident too

[wheat plaza]

Personally, I’d like to know more about how the community features are going to play out. That’s going to make or break this game to me.

[hidden plover]

I'm actually curious to see how RPers will enjoy this game. Seems like the game is a fun concept to roleplay but at the same time could be missing the pvp intrigue games like GTA or rdr2 have

[lunar tundra]

I just want to see who makes it in the next villager vote. Maybe Santa hat will have a chance this week.

[carmine relic]

Good thing PVP won't be a thing

[warm plover]

poor santa hat needs redemption like ashura

[hidden plover]

Mostly agreed, but RP also needs villains

[sand barn]

everything... EEEEVERYYYTHIIING

[warm plover]

you can be the guy who keeps ruining someones cabbages

[sand barn]

Oh my chat just loaded. Oops

[hidden plover]

I'll eat everyone's spagett

[zinc scarab]

no

We don’t need anyone that cruel

[sand barn]

Don't be upsetti, share your spaghetti

[zinc scarab]

I r e f u s e

[sand barn]

Share your spaghetti, so you don't get upsetti!

[sullen bison]

Thanks AmeliaMarz! 😺

[warm plover]

btw wasnt nels title Community Director? why is amelia Community Lead
are they interchangable??? i dont get titles

[zinc scarab]

I am always upset and sharing will not help that

[buoyant heath]

That's my secret, Cap

[sand barn]

Ill share my spaghetti so.. please don't be upsetti?

[warm plover]

thought that said shading

[wind ibex]

leads lead, directors direct.

[warm plover]

follow the amelia! to space! to venus! to marz!

[sand barn]

To infinity, and beyond!

[warm plover]

i feel weird calling her amelia actually i should just use ms. marz

[heavy dew]

Don't be so formal, she's a friend

[warm plover]

it feels weird to call people by their first names

[ornate patio]

my name is Amelia and i love it when I come across other Amelia's because we are rare

[heavy dew]

Good thing you don't know my last xD

[warm plover]

online handles i can do but names??? no

[wind ibex]

Like for the company I work for, the team leads are in the shop working with the team, where as the directors, sit in their offices, drinking coffee occasionally pointing fingers telling people what to do.

[warm plover]

berry i already forgot your first name anyway
and ill call you berry regardless

[heavy dew]

Noone here has been told my first name 👀 it's classified

[carmine relic]

Berry's legal name isn't Berry?

[sand barn]

:o but what if she wants to be called by her first name?

[warm plover]

i think you told me. and then i forgot

[ornate patio]

Matt Berry right?

[wind ibex]

I thought it was Lord...

[heavy dew]

Berry Allen, fastest cherry alive

I have this photoshopped ^

[warm plover]

aha ive been calling him by his last name this whole time!

[buoyant heath]

You call me DadJoke, when my full name is Sir Reginald DadJoke Bufferton III, esq

[wind ibex]

Most people I have worked with over the years do that to me.

[warm plover]

mr ball

[sand barn]

Most people end up giving me a nickname because my name is foreign

[warm plover]

Most people either call me Rin or ||[REDACTED]||

[marble hedge]

If you're interested, mine is Wippit Reele Guud

[sand barn]

We're off topic, quickly, quack back on track

[wind ibex]

Nice to Meet you ||[REDACTED]||

[warm plover]

whats passions full name? Passion Fruit Tiger?

[summer obsidian]

I wonder what the naming conventions will be like in Palia...

[warm plover]

the names all seem to be based off various real world languages i think?
but im not 100% sure

[hidden plover]

If the game doesn't allow for surnames I will be sad

[marble hedge]

I hope we get first and last names, and people can create families that all share the same last name... so we could have Wippit Guud, Datsno Guud, Veree Guud....

[sand barn]

I'm curious if we'll have first last name or just one really long name like.

HewhocamebeforethedawnofPalia

[wind ibex]

You can see player names in the trailer...

[remote latch]

I would assume that if/when they add a spouse and family system to the game surnames will be added too

[keen latch]

Itheanklebreakerofthekitsuuprotectorofwholesome

[warm plover]

someone better with languages than me can probably tell what theyre based on...
im only going off the fact that i recognise kitsuu as being probably japanese, and all the villager names seeing to stem from completely different conventions each time

[marble hedge]

Hmm... no swords in the game... The Fishing Pole that isn't a Fishing Pole?

[warm plover]

remember IsabelleAC and BestBoiApollo

[topaz path]

Ashura's broom says it is a repurposed sword

[wind ibex]

In the trailer no spaces where shown, but there were names with multiple capitols

[buoyant heath]

Go forward, move ahead!

[warm plover]

was it bestboiapollo or apollobestboi or something else
i forgot

[remote latch]

second

[warm plover]

im gonna be honest
i accidentally called najuma najuna for a while
but i think najuna sounds better

[summer obsidian]

I feel like the architecture in the trailer has a "japanese" or at least an asian feel to it. Kinda...studio ghibli vibes

[wind ibex]

If I didn't have to focus on work I could find all the player names show in the trailer.

[remote latch]

I still have to check her name when talking about her and took me weeks to stop called Ashura Ashula

[pulsar meteor]

one of my guildies in Old Republic did something like this based around the first part of his username 'derr'. so he'd have a medic toon "Isderr'Adoctor" etc

[warm plover]

they did say ghibli was a big inspiration for art direction

[remote latch]

I did something similar in wow .. being the only UK person in the guild on a US server I picked every welsh sounding name as possible rofl - basically all starting with Gwyn rofl

[warm plover]

"is there a doctor"...

gonna sleep now bye

[remote latch]

If there are surname capabilities in game I usually add Belle as a surname.

[summer obsidian]

Sleep well Rin!

[carmine relic]

G'night Rin!

[worthy rose]

Tish is similar to Nish and Nish is short for Nishimuta and kitsuu is short for kitsune

FEUDAL JAPAN CONFIRMED SETTING FOR PALIA????

[carmine relic]

I should go and do some rocket science that won't end in a disaster. See y'all later!

[hidden plover]

There is also Einar which is more of a Norse name

[buoyant heath]

I want Palia to have more costuming options than a Backstreet Boys video

[cinder temple]

I want it that way.

[wintry wasp]

insert Brooklyn-99 gif here

[buoyant heath]

[wintry wasp]

I put it in #💬│off-topic-chat cause I can.

[cinder temple]

Love this server. I can always count on Wippit to show me the meaning of being lonely, Xrystal to tell me why a dev said what they said, or Rin to ask 'Am I original? Am I the only one?' Granted, I do sometimes wish the villager vote would quit playing games with my heart, but I've always been able to get down with the results. Then there's the art challenges taking off, and that makes me feel larger than life.

I've made so many friends here that even if it takes much longer than 2 two years for Palia to launch, I think I'll be okay as long as you love me.

[short thorn]

I kind of just lost track of what was going on here

[heavy dew]

Plot twist, all 100k members are me

[keen latch]

Lord Berry has split 16.609 times and is now legion

[celest maple]

Oh dear we are one 😄

I cant wait to see this game in action >.<

[heavy dew]

Neither.. can't wait to play with everyone

[celest maple]

I know right? My friends have been ranting and raving about this game (we are all animal crossing fans) and Ive just been super hyped for it xD

[formal juniper]

y salió o que?

[celest maple]

Um i think the rules said English only for now :x

[heavy dew]

Yeah, only english

[keen latch]

English only sadly, the studio does not have mods for multilanguage servers

[celest maple]

Im going to tell them to speak english to the best of my abilities :x

[heavy dew]

Me too: only english :3

[celest maple]

hablo ingliese por favor.

that translates roughly to speak english please.

[keen latch]

you said "I speak english please"

[heavy dew]

Did.. did I do it?

[celest maple]

i tried xD

[formal juniper]

Has the game been launched already?

[celest maple]

No it has not :x

[heavy dew]

they are "much closer than 3 years to launch"

[remote latch]

I believe they said they have alot of outfit combinations to suit your needs and will likely grow as the game grows .. so you can make your character the way you want them to look

[keen latch]

Nope, However they release new info about every two week in character releases and other tidbits

[formal juniper]

Okay, thanks.

[remote latch]

[S6] BuscoBear — 06/04/2021
We want people to feel they can play the person they want to play. We're investing in lots of body shapes, clothing options, hair styles, etc. All completely mix and matchable

[celest maple]

Omg thats great news ❤️

[remote latch]

variation on the same answer methinks but here goes [S6] BuscoBear — 06/05/2021 We want you to be able to customize your character to be you. Lots of options on style, cut, color, shape and they're all interchangable.

[heavy dew]

The lovely Wiki

[keen latch]

They know all

[celest maple]

okai 😄

Thanks for that clarification panther 🙂

[remote latch]

that is a lie 😛 I only know as much as the search system allows me to see 😛

But of course it doesn't stop me from speculating further on from those known facts rofl

[keen latch]

I made a bot to actually do what you do but I thought it was more fun for the server to not even push for it

[edgy cloak]

Guys I don't understand is Neleimour leaving or what

[remote latch]

No, she has a new role in the company

[edgy cloak]

Ah right

Wonder what that role is

[keen latch]

Allegedly, I hope we hear the results from the investigation, but I will hold off my judgement of S6 and parties until otherwise

annnnnny way more on palia

Villager Vote is Out, Time for Balance!

[keen latch]

I vote 2, #justiceforsanta

[summer obsidian]

Yess! Are we trying to balance them? I'm here for it!

[brave thorn]

[heavy dew]

Time to show Amelia how we roll, tie it up

[tranquil cosmos]

TIE TIME

[lunar tundra]

Let's go! Villager vote time! ❓

[wind ibex]

Time for Balance!

[tranquil cosmos]

Nooo, Santa hat is already getting behind

[wind ibex]

Amelia, need the @celest maple-Vote to get the ping.

[tranquil cosmos]

Oh, I was wondering why I didn't get a ping

[tranquil cosmos]

That's a person you pinged, btw lol

[celest maple]

Bahahah

[tranquil cosmos]

LOL

[celest maple]

Hi guys

[heavy dew]

Oh Hi Villager 👀

[distant oar]

I let them know ^^ Thanks, @wind ibex

[lunar tundra]

Hey Villager!

[wind ibex]

Not trying to ping you, sorry dude.

[tranquil cosmos]

Nooooo, now people wont balance it

[lament eagle]

[lunar tundra]

there goes the tie attempt lol

[left pebble]

Santa is never getting revealed lmao

[remote latch]

I wondered why it was going so slow rofl

[long belfry]

Fifth time is the charm 1, gooooo

[remote latch]

don't worry guys .. we managed it with Ashura/❓

[brittle halo]

we'll get balance eventually

[lunar tundra]

Poor santa hat is always in dead last place.

[vernal knot]

my heart goes out to santa hat but im still voting 1 on this one :p

[heavy dew]

No no we're all voting tied

[brittle halo]

the little hair fwip #1 has just hits different, yk?

[vernal knot]

ur so right

[mint citrus]

Cmon guys, lets vote for the villager with the Christmas hat

[blazing pebble]

I've been voting 1 every time please 😭 😂

[long belfry]

I've been voting for 1 for weeks, sorry mystery Santa XD

[warped osprey]

Same XD

[buoyant heath]

So much for that

[merry crater]

the nickname Santa Shaq has stuck to my brain it seems.

[serene stratus]

2️⃣ ☑️

[blazing pebble]

Santa gonna have to wait sorry christmas fans ✌️ 😔

[mint citrus]

Imagine it's a joker instead

[heavy dew]

Why are you guys voting for 1️⃣ and not the villagers? Everyone saying they always vote 1

[vernal knot]

he comes around every december, just be patient

[mint citrus]

Because 1 is number 1

[jovial onyx]

#2 is skinny santa

[marble hedge]

I've always wanted huge builds to make guilds/clans unique and create niche guilds. But it also needs to be expensive enough that huge neighborhoods don't end up creating every mega build, because that takes away the uniqueness.

[flint igloo]

I like #2’s hat that’s why

[heavy dew]

I like balance..

[ornate patio]

i like #1 posture

and cow lick

[heavy dew]

I see you Shar you lovely being!

[mellow verge]

Maybe we can tie the villager vote and get them at the same time

[normal heron]

#1 LOOKS HOT WE HAVE TO VOTE FOR THEM 🤬🤬

[mellow verge]

squish hugs

[heavy dew]

an artist can dream

[vernal knot]

SO TRUEEE MIRA

[flint igloo]

Ohh. A tie would be a good idea. Think they would go for it?

[sullen bison]

if they get even votes do we see both villagers? Or is one going to be left out even longer? lol

[fierce spruce]

I know I should just continue being patient but... has there been any rumours of more pre-alpha invites happening?

[mellow verge]

I'd hope so!

[cinder temple]

Entertaining as the tied votes idea is, I don't think they're going to release more than one character per week. Remember, they need to curb the hype a little bit while they work on making the rad game we're all waiting for.

[blazing pebble]

I'm crushing on 1 and idk what they look like 🏃 🏃

[sullen bison]

I was undecided, so I'll vote one to help you out :)

[honest widget]

Been voting for 2 since silhouette first appeared. At this rate I doubt they'll ever be revealed

[heavy dew]

Says the person who potentially started an art challenge to put pressure so they'd have to release new stuff so we'd never have repeat challenges 👀

[cinder temple]

And that person is content with the current pace. Imagine if they released them all? I'd have to come up with challenges on my own instead of being lazy.

[flint igloo]

#1 kind of gives me a bug vibe. Like they have an antenna. Not that there’s anything wrong with that 🐛

[honest widget]

Also hi palia chat. Its been a while

[heavy dew]

fine..

[marble hedge]

For some reason #1 reminds me of Galford from Samurai Showdown. So I wonder if this person trains dogs.

[vernal knot]

yeah trust me you dont wanna hype market your mmos (speaking from an unfortunate past experience)

[mellow verge]

Yeah looks like they've gotten the Ashura treatment

[normal heron]

fer.al hype marketing 💔 i died

[mellow verge]

Poor villager 2

[honest widget]

Hopefully after 1 gets revealed we can vote for 2 or ?

[worthy rose]

santa hat will never be revealed

[remote latch]

now there will be a them/❓ vote again like with ashura 🙂

[sweet vale]

Why am I the only one voting for young santa

[mellow verge]

V.V hopefully

[safe fern]

I voted for 2 as well

[heavy dew]

I mean there's at least 4 others who voted 2️⃣

at least

[remote latch]

I've voted for them every week they've been a contender

[safe fern]

Maybe he'll just be let out to avoid us having another Ashura

[mint steppe]

Wait no more Nele o: also hi Palians

[marble hedge]

Nele is in the Dev Team now... game building

At least according to the side bar

[heavy dew]

The sidebar never lies

[dim oxide]

Any idea when there's going to be another beta test or something?

[edgy cloak]

One of these days we will make the vote between a villager vote tie

[worthy rose]

nop :(

[remote latch]

so, according to the sidebar ( that never lies ) admin > mods > devs > bots > boosters > plebs ? 😆

[brave thorn]

No public announcements have been made. If you have not already, be sure to plug in your email at palia.com for any "future tests"

[normal heron]

i hope i get into the next beta wave i will dissinigrate /pos

[heavy dew]

I'm so nit picky.. we're only in pre-alpha*

[worthy rose]

also, be careful in here when new tests are announced. Things tend to get spicy

[edgy cloak]

May I remind you, within 3 years of launch they said 😩

[heavy dew]

"much closer to launch than 3 years" to quote

[marble hedge]

Less than three years. Could be 2 weeks.

[honest widget]

Ironically ive only ever been a tester for games I'm not interested in. At the end of the day it's not for fun, it's for the good of the game. I'm sure there will be future tests for this game at least for people still wanting to do some testing

[worthy rose]

much less than 3 years

[marble hedge]

[hidden plover]

Tomorrow is within three years of you're an optimist

[normal heron]

could be 2 years and 11 months

[wintry wasp]

Why is the 2 choice vote NOT BALANCED?

[edgy cloak]

2 years 11 months and 29 days, probably :(

[heavy dew]

Because Thanos lost

[normal heron]

the hot silouette is superior /j

[wintry wasp]

But... Both are.

[worthy rose]

the hat silhouette is superior

[cinder temple]

Oh please give us Nigel Thornberry.

[remote latch]

Because people will vote for who they want 🙂 we have 4 days or so to see if it comes close to balancing to try and balance it then

[normal heron]

tru but one has a santa hat

[loud axle]

How DARE you

[lusty berry]

Where is the ❓

[wintry wasp]

Unless one of them is a child. At that point, adorable and must be adopted.

[honest widget]

I'm in favour of balancing the votes... so that I can tip the scale in 2s favour last minute

[edgy cloak]

It's already confirmed to be santa

[cinder temple]

If the customization in this game is truly good, I'll be able to import one of my characters and just wait until you get to see his nose.

[worthy rose]

auni and najuma are both kids 🤔

[loud axle]

I WILL sick the goosigator on you.

[wind ibex]

My Balance is lost

[cinder temple]

I call it by name.

[heavy dew]

Have you fallen and you can't get up?

[wind ibex]

Not me, but 2️⃣

[loud axle]

Fluffy?

[heavy dew]

The oxygenator

[worthy rose]

the oxygenatorinator?

[lunar tundra]

Santa just can't seem to summon the power of ❓

[wind ibex]

I tried to help...

[tranquil cosmos]

I'm disappointed in 600 people

[heavy dew]

That's me on a day to day basis as soon as I leave my apartment 👀

[remote latch]

wouldn't you be disappointed in half that number ? 🙂

[tranquil cosmos]

No, because they all chose to go over

[honest widget]

Personally, I'm disappointed in 1258 people and counting

[remote latch]

but if you ask 600 to change their vote .. it will be 1200 on side 2 and 600 on side 1 give or take the extras .. half ( give or take ) would need to change for balance

[mellow verge]

Tie, tie, tie
Chants

[wintry wasp]

... You mean some people only vote once?

[remote latch]

there is that rofl .. I forgot that element .. ignore my sensible maths 🙂

[worthy rose]

friendly reminder that in Tish's villager vote she won by the largest margin out of all of the villager votes thus cementing the fact that she is a queen

[vernal knot]

why would you want to balance it,,, 1 is obviously better just because they don't wear a santa hat

[wintry wasp]

I can't pick. I want both.

[honest widget]

I'm almost forgot about the chaos that is people who vote twice

[wintry wasp]

But it's not a hat. We've had people zoom WAY IN. It's clearly hair.

[wind ibex]

Look closer, that is a braid.

[mellow verge]

She do seem pretty awesome

[remote latch]

ah .. but .. that may be no 2's hair ?

[tranquil cosmos]

I'm not arguing the math. I'm saying 600 people saw the imbalance and kept widening the gap, thus they are all a disappointment

[mellow verge]

Oh that discord lag

[vernal knot]

i was just making a joke guys sorry 😰

[worthy rose]

they just adjusted it again back to admin > dev > mod

[wintry wasp]

It IS hard to tell in text form when people have been calling it a hate for so long. D:

[honest widget]

Oh. I'm not gonna change my vote either way and regardless, I've committed but I voted under the impression that 2 was wearing a santa hat oops

[tranquil cosmos]

I just want santa hat reveaaaaled

[mellow verge]

Give us #2

[heavy dew]

Oh I miss this chaos every weekend and then something new happens and bam here everyone is

[worthy rose]

I'M HERE TO KILL CHAOS

Trying to unpack and clean my room now. Fun times

Looks like there's been a few changes in the world of Palia since I left! Nel stepped down as CM?

[heavy dew]

Yes, AmeliaMarz is new, so say hi! she's very friendly!

We also got more #❓│old-team-answers-alpha !

[worthy rose]

omg hi berry big fan :)

[heavy dew]

Omg same I love your jokes :3

And

[worthy rose]

[glacial pecan]

Was there going to be voice overs for the characters?

Or are they just words that appear/simlish language

[heavy dew]

Now that's a good question for questions

[silent cairn]

what's the sidebar?

[heavy dew]

Hi Sane ^^ The user list on the right

[silent cairn]

Hello, Berry!
Ah. I still don't see how Wippit figured out Nel is game building from that though. Just says she's in the Dev team in her roles, right?

[heavy dew]

Probably an educated guess as that's what developers primarily do ^^

There's nothing confirmed

[worthy rose]

she is in charge of everything flammable and has a (water) gun

im joking btw we don't know exactly

[heavy dew]

Where can I apply for this position

[silent cairn]

fair. I didn't even realize how general of a term "game building" is lol. I thought we were talking about world building.

[worthy rose]

it's too late she already has it can't you read

[heavy dew]

🥺

[silent cairn]

smh my head

[heavy dew]

Oh me please stop that Sane xD

[silent cairn]

never

[heavy dew]

I ily you anyway

I hate myself for that one

[glacial pecan]

Hmmmm

[silent cairn]

ok, that was rough

you're really making me see the error of my ways

[glacial pecan]

But didn't they close questions chat?

[heavy dew]

For now ^^

[glacial pecan]

.....

[heavy dew]

There's always next time, no hurry

[glacial pecan]

Meh

I'll forget by that time

[heavy dew]

I'll remind you

[glacial pecan]

Hmmm ok

Only reason I ask is because I want them to say their name at least...so I know how to pronounce it

[heavy dew]

I want them to talk so I can swoon over einars beep boops and rumbles

[glacial pecan]

R2d2

[worthy rose]

wait until you find out that einar just screams at max volume all the time

[silent cairn]

honestly, I somehow can't really imagine the game going down the sims route of voice acting. It's probably because I've not played it, but I've just constantly imagined it without voice acting or just with normal voices.

[worthy rose]

like the suns from that one eipsode of rick and morty

[heavy dew]

I'm very okay with that, we all know loud is funny and how you win arguments so he's the superior being

[silent cairn]

true and based

[glacial pecan]

Orrrrrt

It could be like....that one movie....

Or was it an anime or show.....

[heavy dew]

(I'm very sarcastic, dont believe I believe what I just said)

[silent cairn]

D:

why would you do such a thing? I have never once in my life lied or been sarcastic, so I believed you fully

[glacial pecan]

The one where 1 little girl is raised by bots in a world where humans aren't allowed

An eden...and the bots got human language after hearing it

[silent cairn]

Never heard of that but it sounds interesting.

[glacial pecan]

.> hmmm brain fart

It was good....on Netflix I think

I Google now

I even remember ending but not name

Pshh thanks alot brain

[silent cairn]

it's apparently literally called Eden lol

you already said the name.

[glacial pecan]

Oh

That makes sense since that was the city the bots were from

[craggy niche]

Yo

[glacial pecan]

Anyways I recommend ....sad and happy and feel good and devistating

I will check the first episode to see if it is worth the try

[wind ibex]

Well, off to do my shopping. Be back in a bit.

[spark oracle]

Hopefully they will comment on it soon, I don't really want to support a game that houses an abuser.

[mental merlin]

Does anyone know if Marriage will be a thing and will it be only between characters and a player or can it be between players?

[versed sail]

Yet to be determined.

[mental merlin]

Thanks

What is Chappa/Chu

[glacial flicker]

What are some mini games are y'all hoping/expecting to see in Palia?

[hallow girder]

Initially only with NPCs

[mental merlin]

Does catching butterflies count as a minigame? xd oooh What about Animal Racing or... Jousting or Sword combat or.. Easter egg hunting for easter or horse racing. Archery maybe, Food Crafting competitions, Toboggan :D, Sailing... Idk just some ideas

[versed sail]

Chapaa is the official name for these critters.
Chuu is the name the community gave them before they knew what they were called.

[mental merlin]

oh okay... hmm Idk which to be.. hmm

[glacial flicker]

It does, I love those ideas.
I so want to see those implemented and more to come like Sky diving, Swimming, Racing, Horse back riding or some other kind of creature you could ride

[versed sail]

You don't have to choose, but if you do, you can always change your mind later.

[finite sparrow]

Butterfly catching should totally be a minigame

[heavy dew]

Pick whatchuu want whatchuu really really want

[remote latch]

Shimmerfly catching may be a skill you can grow .. maybe be able to catch more crafty ones as you level through the skill - But, skill progression may include some mini games

[remote latch]

zigga zigg ah

[S6] BuscoBear — 06/04/2021
We'll have relationships and romance, things like spouses and children could come later

From a preview event review site https://www.esportstalk.com/news/palia-is-a-stunning-animal-crossing-like-mmo-by-former-riot-developers/

'Much of the furniture is not just for show, either, as you can actually interact with the oven, for instance, to engage in the cooking minigame.

This allows you to perform various tasks, like cooking, cutting up food items, and creating dishes to then show off by placing them on your counter for the other players to see. In fact, you can even do the cooking minigame together with another player online. '```

[mental merlin]

oooh I wonder how children will work.. At first I was thinking like fable with npc kid but then that was kinda boring since it just dissapears. Then I thought like lord of the rings how you can create last names and then a player you adopt takes your last name too. I think I like that one better.

[remote latch]

hard to say but that could be why it is for something down the road so they can think it through carefully without delaying the game

[versed sail]

Yay LotRO!

[mental merlin]

You played it too? I used to.

[versed sail]

clears throat I mean Palia

[mental merlin]

I was fashion queen on it.

[versed sail]

I still play, but I don't expect they'll see much of me once Palia happens.

[mental merlin]

oh for sure the same here. I guess it depends if my rust bucket of a pc can handle its beauty

[versed sail]

I was just thinking of the adoption setup they have when the subject of children came up.

Palia should run on any decent toaster.

From what they've said, they're focused on keeping the requirements low so they can get it on as many platforms as possible.

[mental merlin]

yeah hopefully they have a graphics setting you can turn up and down.

[heavy dew]

Should be able to run it on a potato clock

[mental merlin]

What about a Lemon?

[heavy dew]

Hmmm.. I'll have to crunch some numbers, let me sleep on it I'll get back to you

[versed sail]

When life gives you lemons, play Palia

[heavy dew]

I changed my mind, that's my answer ^

[remote latch]

must be getting late .. you didn't think of that one quick enough rofl

[heavy dew]

I'm tired okay..

[mental merlin]

I hope the mechanic character can make us a clock with a lemon attached.

[heavy dew]

I'm not the sharp witted humor machine when I've been trying to sleep for 2 hours haha

[versed sail]

Do a sleep!

[mental merlin]

Please hope their is riddles to solve in palia. Riddles can be fun.

[heavy dew]

I've been trying D: my body doesn't wanna enter an unconscious hallucinogenic state

I'll enjoy 5 minutes with you lovelies before trying again

[carmine relic]

Sleeeeeep

[remote latch]

hard to say, despite questions regarding puzzles and riddles there isn't a dev comment regarding them .. so .. 🤞

[heavy dew]

Sim, sleep for me so I don't have to try

[versed sail]

Do a sleep, Sim!

[cinder temple]

Getting Berry to sleep is like prepping Jel's work area - in both cases you're really threading the needle.

[heavy dew]

Okay berry, I'll try my best but it might potentially not work. oh no I forgot to switch account, whoops

[carmine relic]

Rip, Santa-hat is losing

[heavy dew]

Getting myself to sleep is the hardest thing I've ever done xD

[versed sail]

That's because we've been waiting weeks for Kraven the Hunter

[cinder temple]

You're not allowed to sleep. I forbid it.

[versed sail]

Try watching a film you've seen before, and found very boring.

[carmine relic]

Don't listen to Simuel!

[remote latch]

I do this but usually its a film I like so much I've watched it so many times I can listen to it to watch it .. so to speak .. I fall asleep within 30 minutes .. or sooner

[brittle halo]

when in doubt, listen to the dream rap from Sharkboy and Lavagirl

[shrewd idol]

How is my Palia family doing today?

[carmine relic]

Somewhat good!

[versed sail]

Sleepless, one and all, from the looks of things.

[heavy dew]

I'm gonna try sleep, someone high five me for luck

[versed sail]

[carmine relic]

[versed sail]

Sweetest of dreams to you, Berry.

[remote latch]

And now a newsflash from our Palia sponsor .. NPCs sleep and lock their doors .. and players won't need to eat/drink or sleep .. unless they want to benefit from the incentives they gain from it that appear to be beneficial.

[S6] Laurisse — 06/04/2021
As of right now, all our buildings can be entered! But be understanding that NPC might close the door of their home at certain times of the day (for sleeping!)


9. Will we need to eat/drink or sleep?
Question by: Hayden 

Hey, Hayden!
These activities are not strictly required, but they will all have a variety of benefits in the game that make engaging in professions like cooking have real worth. From an incentives perspective, these systems are oriented around having strong benefits for engaging with them over strong penalties for not. 
-Aidan

[brave thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/no-face-eat-everything-spirited-away-gif-10931214

[short thorn]

So we can break into homes, is what it's implying

[remote latch]

At the moment .. they may fix that before the game is released

[maiden canopy]

That implies that they shut up shop for the night 😄

not house robbing haha

[remote latch]

Jenkins — 06/04/2021
it would be nice play "who of my friends is the impostor who steal my 99lvl sword from my house last night at the party??"

[S6] Eris (he/him) — 06/04/2021
maybe we'll have games like that, but not actually stealing for real, haha

michael — 06/04/2021
Can I break into another player's home and steal their stuff?

[S6] Eris (he/him) — 06/04/2021
no

However .. with Eshe being a magistrate ( Wikipedia: The term magistrate is used in a variety of systems of governments and laws to refer to a civilian officer who administers the law.) - maybe there will be crimes against the NPCs possible, but if you get caught ... punishment time .. but then again .. her Magistrate title could be meaningless and she may just be a crotchety old woman who doesn't get on with her husband the mayor.

[wintry wasp]

I think it would be fun to allow friendly theft games.

Like flag some objects as yoinkable by the neighborhood and see who ends up with what after a month!

[keen cargo]

On going game of capture the flag

[brave thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/adventure-adventuretime-time-million-years-gif-5669545

[remote latch]

make it a suggestion 🙂

[wintry wasp]

I'll do a better write up when I get home.

[maiden canopy]

has to be pointless things though, not stuff people will need

[celest maple]

good morning

[maiden canopy]

that would prevent them from playing properly

[remote latch]

yeah it could be items specifically designed to appear for the event ( if implemented by Palia ) or items the event creator is providing for the purpose .. so in essence providing the prizes.

Heck, maybe if Palia has flag objects it could be simply an object you can reuse and throwaway as needed ( minimal to no cost - if there is a cost )

[maiden canopy]

a coin or something or token

[wintry wasp]

Or a silly Chapaa statue

[arctic onyx]

Ayo

[silk quail]

Good evening everyone

[mint grove]

Hola

Hay alguno que hable español??

Quería saber si el juego está disponible en Mobile

[wintry wasp]

I mean this as politely as possible, but this is English only for now, as listed in the rules.

[molten iris]

solo ingles por favor ^^

[mint grove]

Thanks for the info

[remote latch]

If I understand your question The game will be available on PC first and then progress onto Mobile and other devices as soon as they can after

[arctic onyx]

The game NEEDS controller support on day one imo

[wintry wasp]

Beat me to it. I was making a server suggestion for a mandatory rules based role. lol

I have this weird ability to roughly understand a few European originated languages. Roughly...

[arctic onyx]

I have a few friends that suffer from certain disabilities and primarily play games on controllers

[remote latch]

Yeah me too .. I learnt a few key phrases in many European languages as a kid .. some of them are still rattling around

[wintry wasp]

As long as it's similar-ish to French and English, I can get an idea. Being Canadian, I was forced to "learn" French in school until grade 9. I say "learn" because the way it was taught when I was in school was REALLY bad.

[remote latch]

[S6] ItNightshade — 06/04/2021
We're aiming to release on "most" platforms after PC launch, mobile is a high priority, I don't think I can say more than that right now. I can't speak to crossplay.

Jerhyn — 06/03/2021
something interesting about the unreal engine. it scales to mobile very easily and VR is a click to turn on. ofcourse there are other things after that though.

[S6] Sheevok — 06/03/2021
It is, alas, not that simple. But yes, we are UE4-based and UE4 does have built-in support for various things that make it less-difficult than otherwise to support mobile platforms.

[wintry wasp]

Oh yay there's hope for a VR mode. 😄

[arctic onyx]

Alright

[remote latch]

[S6] BuscoBear — 06/05/2021
VR is already fairly friendly with Unreal, we could look into it. I know we have VR fans on the dev team, I mean, its the only way to play Elite Dangerous

[wintry wasp]

WAIT

[remote latch]

[S6] BuscoBear — 06/04/2021
Since its in UE4 we might fool around and turn on VR to see what happens. This will probably not be something we actually support for real tho.

[wintry wasp]

E:D has VR mode? reinstalls

[buoyant heath]

Wait?

Yeah, E:D VR is pretty decent in the ship mode, but I heard the space legs mode has a long way to go

[wintry wasp]

No Man's Sky was pretty neat, but needed work. It had responsiveness issues with the ship controls at times.

Plus Quest 2 now having native wireless support (even if beta) is AMAZING.

VR is very affordable thanks to Quest 2! And it's actually pretty quality. - Compared to what it used to be, at least. 400 vs 1000...

[remote latch]

Ah French was my chosen 2nd language at my 2nd high school, I learnt Italian as a second language at my first high school .. I learnt some Greek to help a friend and some German to help my brother when his 2nd language choice came up

[buoyant heath]

Oh yeah, I was going to pick up a Quest 2 as soon as they get that inner band thing cleared up

[wintry wasp]

Inner band thing...?

OH the thing that they recalled the face padding thing over and has been resolved for... 6 months?

[arctic onyx]

This may sound like sci fi but I prolly will never invest into VR until full dive VR is a thing

Where you just go to sleep and wake up in another world lmfao

[buoyant heath]

I don't know about six months...

[wintry wasp]

Funny enough. We own two. Mine was bought first. Wasn't a recalled facepad. My wifes was and we bought it a month later.

[remote latch]

I get headaches often .. so no VR stuff for me (not that I have money for luxuries like that anyway rofl ) .. I can't even wear headphones without getting headaches rofl

[buoyant heath]

This is from a few weeks ago: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2021-07-28-facebook-halts-quest-2-sales

[wintry wasp]

Yeah that's a new article on old news.

[buoyant heath]

All of the articles I'm looking at says the sales of the Quest 2 were halted on the 27th

[wintry wasp]

Weird. They started the recalls in March something. So not 6 months.

Yeah that's odd. We had one bad one and one good one. We got it replaced free.

Ah. I guess they're just going to avoid it being a possible issue.

[patent adder]

They're replacing them all for free anyways. I didn't have any issues either way though ☺️

[remote latch]

hi Milky .. did you have a fun time in Palia .. today ? If you were in Palia that is 🙂

[patent adder]

I was asleep and then woke up and played FFXIV for a bit before work. ☺️

[wintry wasp]

Yeah. My wife's replacement is on the way.

[remote latch]

darn it .. I keep forgetting DadJoke is a tester .. question to you too 🙂

[cinder temple]

Oh, I hope she's nice.

[patent adder]

👀

[remote latch]

I had to read that twice too

[buoyant heath]

Sim, I kinda love you

[cinder temple]

I kinda love you too, but in that uncanny coworker sort of way.

[wintry wasp]

Ok but IF she was to be replaced, it might not be a she. Disclaimer: I'd never replace her!

[cinder temple]

Do you want a head lamp before you dig this hole any deeper?

[patent adder]

We will supply him the tools needed

[wintry wasp]

She always plays along with my English fails. lol

[remote latch]

it wasn't your English fail .. it's English failing because it has so many meanings to the same sentence sometimes 🙂

[wintry wasp]

It's nowhere near as bad as some other languages.

[buoyant heath]

I worked today and went to witness a lame protest

[crystal compass]

Hi everyone! I'm hoping you all had a good day.

[buoyant heath]

Hi!

[neat lichen]

Hi wiclif 👋 yesterday went great, but I fear for today as it's 5am here and I can't sleep 😭 I started a student job yesterday and am so hyped x)

How is/was your day?

[summer obsidian]

Gratz on your new job! That's exciting!

[neat lichen]

Thank you ☺️ I hope I will find the time to be at least a bit active here still with it heheh. And if nit, my activity shall be mainly for the weekend :3

[summer obsidian]

You can sneak on when you have a moment...the discord is a little quiet right now anyway as we wait for more information

[neat lichen]

True dat :) I still enjoy reading the conversations going on during breaks 😁

What part of the game that we know about already are you guys most excited about? Like, where do you see yourself within 3 years? Mostly fishing, hunting, exploring, a bit of everything?

[silk quail]

everyone doing well?

[summer obsidian]

I think for me it is a mix of everything...and the LORE. I can't wait for the story to slowly unveil itself to us

[neat lichen]

I think I will mostly be interacting with the neighbourhood system, cause I'm a sucker for community building :D

[silk quail]

im surprises rin or karsa's been away this long

[summer obsidian]

I'm also big into community building, so I get you there Pnia!

[neat lichen]

Oh yes! I am what one of my friends call "a lorehound". I love myself a good interactive story (with lots of humor)

[summer obsidian]

if you tap your feet together 6 times, I think one might appear 😄

[neat lichen]

I also can see a mix of neighbourhood + skill preference, like a fishing or hunting community, but I prefer to focus on the community itself and helping each other through all aspects of the game 😊

If it would be possible to join multiple neighbourhoods, I'd love to be in some specialised ones though :D

[summer obsidian]

yeah, I think a community of people who can just be comfortable hanging out together and play together is my goal. Doesn't need to be huge or have a focus...just an authentic friendship group that can start to go beyond the game to create lasting friendships

[neat lichen]

Yass to that!

[summer obsidian]

As to other neighborhood stuff, I'll have to go on whether I know more than you guys or not as far as neighborhoods are concerned 😛

but the devs are definitely paying attention to player feedback, so def. add any great suggestions...they do look at them

[neat lichen]

Awesome 😊 I feel like the devs indeed pay a lot of attention to player ideas and feedback, judging from posts and interactions here on the discord, and I respect them for that greatly 😀

I'm going to try to sleep again for a few hours 😴 have a nice day/night and see you soon ☺️

[ocean stone]

w-what...

[sleek nimbus]

lol (a replacement for hardalor's wife's quest 2 foam faceplate. he's not replacing his wife)

[warm plover]

poor 2️⃣
always left in the dust

[brittle halo]

it's Ashura all over again

[warm plover]

i think theyre gonna be neglected even longer than ashura

[zinc scarab]

Hello Palians :D how are you all?

Hi Rin :)

[patent adder]

Hey

[zinc scarab]

Hiiii Milky

I hope 1️⃣ wins

I’ve been voting for them for the past few weeks

[patent adder]

It looks like that'll be the case!

[zinc scarab]

I wonder what their Path is

The gloves seem interesting

[quick dove]

I went 2️⃣ this time, I'm ambivalent on the choices

[zinc scarab]

Hi Polar :D

[quick dove]

Hi Mango

[zinc scarab]

I feel like I should have a job at the end of my name

But I’m probably just going to farm and that’s not exciting

[quick dove]

I mean, could be a Pun Enthusiast

Farmers love their jokes

[warm plover]

my job is meowing at people

[neat lichen]

Love their yokes* giggle

[patent adder]

Meow

[neat lichen]

Also, I couldn't sleep anymore so I got up and got on my pc

[quick dove]

puns like to pounce on you and crop up every where you go, so why not embrace them

[patent adder]

Welcome to the land of the living

[neat lichen]

Theenks

[limber zealot]

yo when is this game dropping my patience is running out, or atleast the pre-alpha phase

[buoyant heath]

Oh, poor sweet Dion.

[neat lichen]

In less than 3 years

[buoyant heath]

We got some time yet. They haven't announced when future tests are happening, and we're probably looking at a while before the game is done.

[warm plover]

prealpha tests already happened, in any case

or at least the first one or two did

[limber zealot]

🤓

[zinc scarab]

This server is the only thing keeping me sane while we wait

Maybe “keeping me sane” isn’t the right terminology I wasn’t sane in the first place

This server is the only thing keeping me from plunging further into insanity while we wait

[neat lichen]

I hadn't heard about Palia a couple of days ago, and seeing how much torture the wait can be, I try to keep immersing myself into other games and communities for now

and of course this Disc community

[sand barn]

Happy timezone Palians

[patent adder]

Erinome is keeping me sane

[neat lichen]

Henloe :)

[sand barn]

Im definitely not sane 😁

[patent adder]

That's okay

[neat lichen]

No, you're Erinome ba-dum tss

I'm in a punny mood today

[sand barn]

Where's berry, he'll go into a pun off with you. It's... unberryable

[neat lichen]

I fear for my life D:

[patent adder]

You're right. @silent cairn is sane :3

[neat lichen]

I was wondering if I didn't saw a player with that tag hahah

Time for some coffee ☕ I've been awake since around 4:45am and I got to go to work in about an hour

[patent adder]

Hope he isn't upset I tagged him

[patent adder]

Have fun. I'm at work now!

[neat lichen]

If he's upset, he's not Sane anymore

• Ashura or smth

[neat lichen]

Thank you! Lovely that your work allows fooling around on Discord hahah

[patent adder]

Loooots of it 😆

[neat lichen]

Maybe mine does too 🤔 they're super chill about lots of stuff, as long as the given work gets done

[patent adder]

Nice. Have fun at work 😋

[neat lichen]

Thenkies

[sand barn]

Good luck have.. work?

[neat lichen]

nice work >:3

But thank youu ^_^

[carmine relic]

I return!

[quick sparrow]

yo, how're things going here uvu

[carmine relic]

Complete and utter fear in how the funny space game made me begin trying to figure out how rocket science works

[quick sparrow]

oh god, that's gotta be a real rabbit hole to dive into

[carmine relic]

It is.

[quick sparrow]

i salute your efforts lmao

[carmine relic]

Posted the hell I got in other games

[quick sparrow]

fun, i'll give it a look uvu

[spring rivet]

good morning pals! 🦆

[carmine relic]

Aye, good morning Duck

Ya wanna hear an awful pun?

[quick sparrow]

yoo! ^^

[silent cairn]

On the contrary, I'm always happy to get pinged in this server

and happy timezone, everyone!

[quick sparrow]

yea, honestly this is the only place where im fine with being pinged

and woo, timezones

[spring rivet]

why not

[carmine relic]

What did the Duck do when he read this joke?
He quacked up

[fierce moth]

i want to die

why would you say that

sin worhty

[carmine relic]

Dadjoke is probably sleeping, so someone has to make the awful puns.

[quick sparrow]

i really stayed up for this

what a night lmao

[spring rivet]

hmm that's really new.. LOL

[carmine relic]

My brain left trying to do math, this was good as I could make for the moment

[warm plover]

Hi hi

[carmine relic]

Oh yeah, there's also the "Thanks! Put it on my bill." joke

[warm plover]

hey duck, got any grapes?

[spring rivet]

hey Rin, i only have a good tea for the morning

choco tea

[warm plover]

slorp

[quick sparrow]

honestly, fair

[quick sparrow]

this is the most meta thing i've seen here, omg

[silent cairn]

Helloooo, Riiiin!

[patent adder]

That's my boy :3

[silent cairn]

How's it going, Milky?

[patent adder]

It's okay how are you??

[celest maple]

Hi @pallid igloo

[green kraken]

Hello everyone

[warm plover]

karsaaaa

[green kraken]

Riiiiiiin! I hope you’re doing good!

[zealous plank]

Hello hello!

How's everyone doing today? Still all waiting impatiently, are we? 😜

[green kraken]

OH villager vote! Yessss!!!!! #1!!!!

[patent adder]

Very impatient

[green kraken]

Hi Milky! Me too!! Angsty stray hair, shield or hat???, and big gloves!!! Be a blacksmith

[patent adder]

Hey there 👋

[zealous plank]

Who else thinks they're gonna spend ages deciding in what kind of skills to specialize in?? I've been thinking about what i want my character to be like and it's driving me nuts!

[calm marlin]

i wanna playyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[zealous plank]

İ hope they tease more of the the skills so that i can have some time to think about it haha

[green kraken]

I’m hoping you gain skills by using them, rather than by a point allotment system. I don’t wanna be restricted to only mastering one or two things.

[remote latch]

From what I understand from the answers it sounds like a skill as you do type thing. Your skill levels are just as optional as combat it seems. Just want enough fishing to make that one food recipe fine, just want enough hunting to get rid of those chapaas attacking your farm, that’s fine too.

[green kraken]

Yes, I hope so, that sounds nice! I’m gonna master cooking

[warm plover]

karsa lets cook together

[green kraken]

Yes!!

[silent cairn]

I feel bad that I dipped from chat right after asking you that, but I'm doing well! It's a rainy, gloomy day outside, which makes it perfect for being lazy inside.

[warm plover]

we'll provide the whole world with buffing meals

[remote latch]

Link to the opt in of skills comment : #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha message

[green kraken]

YES!! Food and massive buffs for all!! and tasty drinks too~

[warm plover]

i wanna ignore hunting cause killing stuff will make me sad

but im not a vegetarian or vegan so i'll buy meat off other people to cook...

[remote latch]

Maybe the hunters will sell/trade their animal products to cooks and tailors etc

[green kraken]

Hrmmm but meat for foods… that’s a tough one.

Might be expensive to buy it all but worth it!

[nimble robin]

Hi guys

[green kraken]

Imma master fishing to though sooooooo FISH FOOD!!

I do like how the Rune Factory games handle killing monsters, you’re actually just weakening them and sending them back to their realm.

[warm plover]

i dont like fish that much but i'll eat it
as long as it's not shrimp

YEAH you send them back to the forest of beginnings 💖

[green kraken]

Exactly!! And if they drop stuff then yay!

[stable imp]

I kind of feel sorry for whoever came up with the original design for what is currently 2 in the villager vote. That character has been consistently the lowest vote, sometimes by a big margin too :x

[warm plover]

rip santa hat

[green kraken]

I bet they’re gonna be awesome, their hair is already interesting, but #1! #1! Victory!! (We got a long ways to go, the tide could turn, who knows.)

[warm plover]

i voted for 2 out of pity...

[green kraken]

Nooooo, they will be revealed eventually, haha!

[patent wagon]

Good morning fellow... Palians? Paliadorians?... Paliapeeps? 🤔 🌞

[warm plover]

i think we usually use Palians

[patent wagon]

Yes that's what I thought, but then got confused 😂

[spring rivet]

pals?

[summer frigate]

Same

[warm plover]

most important palia question: can i put a flower in my hair

[hallow sapphire]

Good early morning/late night everyone!

[silent cairn]

The real question is whether we're gonna have another Santa Shaq vs Question Mark vote after #1 gets revealed lolol

[sand barn]

Santa Shaq lmao

[pliant prawn]

Will Palia have animals? (Sorry to ask if it's not allowed: I will remove)

[neat lichen]

I'm not a tester, but I think there will be animals to hunt and pets

One of the NPC's at least has a sort of dog and of course there's the chapaa's

[warm plover]

They said pets are on the roadmap, and hunting as a skill has been confirmed, but if you're asking about animals just in general, yeah. We've seen a few, actually! Sernuks are the deer things, chapaa/chuus are the little brown trash critters, and we're not quite sure the name of Tau's species yet

[pliant prawn]

Like Animal Husbandry, and all that, maybe even animals for meat I forgot there were deers

[hallow girder]

There will be animals for sure. At list to kill. I hope to have companions so... Let's cross our fingers 🤞

[green kraken]

Long live the Kitsuu!

[heavy nexus]

Cuddling my cat as mental prep for my day!

[wispy meadow]

Best kind of mental prep 😊

[warm plover]

ashura wave is in my frequently used near the top...

[heavy dew]

Gotta have my mental prep or I just end up staring at nothingness 👀

[green kraken]

(Though I’m not sure I count since this is the only discord I’m hanging out on right now.)

[heavy dew]

I know 2 other emotes there are gonna skyrocket their way up yours Karsa 👀

[green kraken]

[heavy dew]

Soon as they’re available

[green kraken]

[green kraken]

Do it!! More Kitsuu for the Kitsuu god!!!!!

[heavy dew]

I low key really need to see that now xD

[green kraken]

When we get a full official art reference for the Kitsuu I’m gonna go wild, y’all don’t even know!

[heavy dew]

<— like this? Cause I got a pretty good idea then xD

[wispy meadow]

I love this sticker so much

[warm plover]

give us the forbidden kitsuu art

[wispy meadow]

Would Disney sue me if I take old stories and rewrite them but with Palia animals?

"The Kitsuu King"
"Sleeping Sernuk"
"Chuunderella"

[green kraken]

They can only sue you if they can find you~

The Kitsuu King lives! 👑

[wispy meadow]

Huzzah for third world country population boom

[delicate nimbus]

my fingers feel so uncomfortable when trying to do multiple finger cords

[faint dawn]

Lion king -hamlet
Sleeping beauty and cinderella stories arent exactly owned by them... pretty sure they are in public domain

[green kraken]

Somebody please draw Chuunderella.

[wispy meadow]

Okay the mental image of Chuunderella made laugh hysterically so yes pls I want to see how someone draws her XD

[faint dawn]

I edited the chuu emote with lipstick once... it was horribly beautiful..

It was like it got into someones make up and ate it..

[wispy meadow]

You know what
Screw common sense
I'm gonna try doing the entire Cinderella story as drawings but with Chuus

[keen latch]

Good [timezone] everyone!

[wispy meadow]

Good timezone

[summer obsidian]

Blessed shimmerflies

I’m pretty sure even if it was copyrighted you’re well in your right to make something as long as you don’t benefit financially from it, but I could be wrong, otherwise fanart wouldn’t exist, no?
