[buoyant heath]

I have a really interesting and amazing story to relate here STOP HITTING ME ANNER OK I'LL LET AMELIA GET BACK TO WORK

[chilly crater]

I am extraordinarily disappointed

i will go cry now

[fervent root]

ODIN

[worthy rose]

amelia is leaving and my day is ruined again

[somber crag]

👁️ 👄 👁️ -- I'm watching you.

[fervent root]

VIKINGS DONT CRY

[chilly crater]

real gods aren't emotionally stunted vitus

[fervent root]

:<

[chilly crater]

everyone cries

[fervent root]

what about the uncrying god?

or the flying spaghetti monster?

[chilly crater]

sounds like some uncool gods tbh

[fervent root]

the spaghetti monster is cool

he has a beer volcano in his heaven

HI PERIN!:D

[bright forge]

Crap I was spoted

[fervent root]

hehehe

[buoyant heath]

If a god can't make unicorns grow out of the ground with their tears, I don't want anything to do with them

[fervent root]

no more lurking now! muhhahahah

ive heard a myth that a giant was slayed and out of his body someone made Earth:D

cant remember it probally

but i love mythology

[abstract rover]

i've heard of that actually

[woeful spear]

I'm genuinely curious, what time is it for you now guys?

[abstract rover]

3:38 PM

[cinder temple]

I heard a rumor that the whole of the world is rested precariously on the shoulders of an IT person.

[woeful spear]

Oh that's.... Late

[abstract rover]

lmfao that may very well be true

[chilly crater]

Odin killed the frost giant Ymir, and they made the world out of his remains, in norse mythos

[woeful spear]

Or too early

[fervent root]

10:40pm

[fervent root]

ooh yes! good job btw;D

[chilly crater]

A legendary blow

[fervent root]

truely

[abstract rover]

thats an interesting take on earth's creation lol

however i firmly believe we were all created by the gods of Palia

[fervent root]

ah yeah ofc

[woeful spear]

... Do Majiri have religion?

Surely yes, but what would it look like

[abstract rover]

over 9,000 gods

[fervent root]

i think the devs are trying to keep religion out of the game

bc its such a heavy subject

[abstract rover]

because the majiri are too powerful

[ocean stone]

That would be quite the pantheon

[woeful spear]

Because the main religion is coziness

[abstract rover]

oh dear lol

imagine 9,000 different temples

[woeful spear]

Poland

[abstract rover]

lol poland what

[fervent root]

and creativeness?:>

[abstract rover]

Poland can into temple?

[woeful spear]

Sorry to all the poles, there is too many churches really

[abstract rover]

we do like our religion (i'm part polish, from my dad's side of the fam)

[woeful spear]

Of course!!

[worthy rose]

were you born in poland?

I have a polish friend who doesnt poop anymore

[ocean stone]

w-what

[woeful spear]

Oh....

[cinder temple]

changes nish's batteries

[worthy rose]

he got a perforation in his colon and ended up having a lot of large intestine removed and now he has a bag for that attached to his abdomen

he doesn't poop

[ocean stone]

oh

I never expect there to be an actual real world based explanation with you

[worthy rose]

I am not as insane as I first appear usually

I just omit explanations

however, chapaa jetpacks are still necessary

[topaz path]

so they can get more quickly into my soup-pot?

[worthy rose]

so they can quickly get everwyereh!

zoomin!

[topaz path]

its cold here. need to make something warm and stewlike

[buoyant heath]

Jetpack Stew

[worthy rose]

the question is, jetpacks for chapaas? Or jetpacks from chapaas? Possibly powered by beans?

[brave thorn]

Happy Hump Day everyone! What sort of art do you all think we will see for Wallpaper Wednesday today?

[marble hedge]

Rather than a chapaa seeing its shadow to determine when spring will happen, I think we should launch a chapaa with a trebuchet, and the distance determines how long til spring.

[wind ibex]

They haven't posted the Wallpaper for today yet.

[brave thorn]

I know, am I wondering what you are all guessing what it will be today.

[wind ibex]

Well, we've had Kitchen ( #🌠│official-art message ), Living room ( #🌠│official-art message ) , and Bed room ( #🌠│official-art message ). So maybe Bathroom, or Patio?

[remote latch]

Patio sounds like a cool one .. might include plants in pots and patio furniture

[cinder temple]

Patio or Paytio.

[ocean stone]

[wind ibex]

And we have seen potted plants before.

[pure badge]

Good night yall!

[brave thorn]

Well if they continue with their trend of pulling scenes from the official trailer, I think there may be more likely we will see something like scenes from the village or more ruins.

That being said we are starting to run out of those scenes that doesn't have that direct human interaction

[remote latch]

Maybe a scene from the house lot with the farming stuff .. just more close up ( if they have that shot stored somewhere) ..

[burnt elm]

Heyo!!

[chilly crater]

Onec again, I am stunned

[brave thorn]

Pretty falls!

[remote latch]

Yaay I was hoping that one would appear .. I had to screen grab that one for one of my pictures 🙂

[cold phoenix]

🅿️ 🅰️ 🇱 🇮 🇦

[lime fossil]

Is there any estimation or anything about the release date yet? I hope it’s alright for me to ask

[remote latch]

Its a common question .. the best we have is less than 2 and a half years but they are more confident with 4-5 tests before its available to everyone
#💬│palia-discussions message

We are still in our early testing phases, so for now we're most comfortable saying "Alpha is in first half of 2022". After each testing phase we asses how well-developed/ready it is for launch  We're looking at about 4-5 testing phases before it's ready for "EEEVERRYOOONNNE!" ```

[brave thorn]

Not yet, Alpha playtest starting soon though. Sign up at Palia.com if you have not already

[buoyant heath]

Amelia just dropping some super gorgeous art like it's nothing

[lime fossil]

Ooo! tysm! and aw man that’s long tysm though!

[left cradle]

man that waterfall scene is beautiful

[still karma]

Will this game have wyverns?

[cold phoenix]

here we go...

[remote latch]

we don't know much about the creatures yet .. only a few known so far -

[brave thorn]

We don't know. We haven't seen anything that is close to being dragon related in the official trailer, but there is likely a lot that we don't know.

[serene bronze]

As long as they got grilling, I'll be chillin

[buoyant heath]

It's likely the wyverns will be eaten by a grue

[brave thorn]

So I wonder if the Chapaa saw its shadow today or not

[kind venture]

I've done a bunch of searching and I can't find the answer to this question. I figure someone may know especially those who have tested the game. (Though I don't know if they can speak about it.) I wonder if forced sleep is going to implemented in Palia. I really hope not as it is a deal breaker for me with some other games with farming.

[remote latch]

No, there is no forced sleep .. sleeping and eating aren't a requirement but .. they will give you some benefits .. it is discussed in #❓│old-team-answers-alpha - Link: #❓│old-team-answers-alpha message

[brave thorn]

Anyone who played in the pre-alpha won't be able to provide details, but Xrystal is providing the best answer based on what public information we have

[native pumice]

oooh i like that sleeping and eating aren't a necessary thing. makes it more of a fun hobby. I used to always love cooking in guild wars lol but i did it for the system!

[wintry crest]

Hey guys!

what's up?

[severe gust]

no

[wintry crest]

that's fair

[golden pilot]

[remote latch]

uhoh .. the TVF Stooges are here

[severe gust]

that's us

We're the goons

[pulsar tulip]

👋

[fleet wharf]

Hi

[cinder temple]

Rainbows confirmed. 🌈✨

[remote latch]

oh wow didn't even notice the rainbow

[cinder temple]

Noticing something before you notice it feels like outwitting a trickster god.

[celest maple]

howdy folks

you wanna know how i am serious about palia?

I signed up with my actual non-junkmail email.

[remote latch]

rofl ... hiya markie

[celest maple]

hello there!

how're you doin'?

[remote latch]

doing good

[celest maple]

good to hear, is it correct that we spoke a bit ago?

[remote latch]

not that I can recall or see with a search

Rin and Khontis look to be the only people that you chatted with a few weeks back

[celest maple]

Sorry if i already asked but does palia use unreal engine

[buoyant heath]

Yep. It's on Unreal Engine 4

[celest maple]

And it happened again the other day too

Knock twice, open once, my grandma used to say. If you opened it more than once it let all the cold air out and you got the broom to the back of the skull. 'Hold still, don't make a spill'. That was the way.

[warm plover]

omg the wallpaper was a waterfall i love waterfalls
is there treasure behind it

for some reason the rendering on the water is making me nostalgic

being able to see the riverbed on a bright sunny day...

[lyric ocean]

Paluations lovely peoples

[carmine relic]

Whoa, a waterfall!

[lyric ocean]

Pssshhhhhhhhh

Waterfall noise

[carmine relic]

And dang, with what Rin said, I can't help but wonder if there's anything behind it, too

[lyric ocean]

Gamer instincts, always check behind waterfalls

Would be cool if we find a game reference behind there

[carmine relic]

And then another waterfall is hidden behind it

[lyric ocean]

🤣

I would enjoy that not gonna lie

[carmine relic]

And if you try to go through that, ya just drown. Or get your neck snapped by hundreds o' pounds worth of water, whichever happens first

[lyric ocean]

Boy that escalated quickly

Palia has a darkside to it that we dont know LOL

[carmine relic]

There already is a darkside in plain sight! Like those violent chappa, or the killer robots, or the disappearance of humans as a whole... ach!

[lyric ocean]

THE HORROR!

[carmine relic]

There's probably more subtle tbreats. Like seeing your most hated fruit or something

Now I wonder what an actual Palian threat is like. Prickly bushes ya can't pass? A malfunctioning golem that won't let ya enter? Hmmm.

[surreal crest]

GOOD MORNING!

[carmine relic]

Aye Chair!

[surreal crest]

Oy, Gambit!

[drowsy minnow]

Happy early day!

[surreal crest]

Hello horse...wolf...fox...human!

[drowsy minnow]

oh right. I'm in compact mode, and I forgot what my avatar was, so I was very very confused for a second there.

[surreal crest]

First I thought that by "compact mode" you mean that you are all those animals at the same time 🪑

[drowsy minnow]

maybe it was :p

I kinda wanna go back to oragami squirrel. Then I'll be confused a year from now when someone points it out lol

[drowsy minnow]

oh jeez, now I don't wanna check under the waterfall o.o

[cunning mural]

day 21

the wait continues

[drowsy minnow]

of?

[carmine relic]

Who knows anymore

[midnight oak]

A greeting? Pallo! The wait is over.

[spring rivet]

Palutations!

[carmine relic]

Duckie!

[fallen summit]

Happy timezones everyone!

[frigid temple]

🌈

[lyric ocean]

Goooh morning!

[vestal thorn]

damn it

[drowsy minnow]

I like that one, I might use it some

[fallen summit]

I also first saw this greeting on here and I liked it since then

[thin venture]

🎣

[remote latch]

:yawn:

[chilly crater]

😴

[wispy jay]

So im wondering and wan get ya opinion

do ya think its worth giving up or stop gaming for a while and other recreation thign like study and so till Palia comes out fully?

[fallen summit]

I personally won't. I still enjoy playing other games and I can't really stop with studying, since I don't want to fail my exams

[brave thorn]

It depends on your specific needs and wants. For me, I am working to occupy my time with developing my skills as an artist and building out my career path. I also have been exploring other games to get a better idea of what sort of game I want to see Palia become.

[wispy jay]

Oh kaede from youtube?

[brave thorn]

I do have a YouTube channel yes. Understand though by the rules of this discord server, I don't speak about it in detail here.

[wispy jay]

Oh ok

Sorry

[brave thorn]

It's okay, to be more specific I should not promote said channel here.

[wispy jay]

Yea wasnt trying too sorry just ya name caugh my eye

[brave thorn]

Your question asking if I am the one from my channel is acceptable.

[wispy jay]

Yea i prefer not talk about it

Dont want ya get into trouble

[remote latch]

Seeing as you are waiting for Palia .. perfect time to get everything else you need to do done now .. once Palia is here you may have to shift gaming priorities to fit Palia in but your non game priorities should still exist. Work/Study, Friends/Family etc

[wispy jay]

right just wan get other opinion

getting bored of playing my other games right now and its vexing

hm i think i end up unistalling steam lol

[remote latch]

For example: Spring-Autumn is a heavy gardening time for me .. so my game/hobby time is cut down so that I can do that..

[wispy jay]

well i got alot of free time til i start my new job

[remote latch]

everyone has noted being in the same situation. what I tend to do is uninstall the games I haven't played in a year and don't envision playing any time soon. The ones I may play every once in a while I keep installed .. nothing like putting you off playing a game for a few minutes fun time if you have to wait a long time for it to install

[wispy jay]

right

one gam ei play alot but it sin a issue til they fix it

but yes i understand wana get ya opinion

[pure badge]

Good morning yall!

[wispy jay]

good morning

[chilly crater]

Good morning Fair

[tall kiln]

hows it hanging

[wispy jay]

hey abobbe

all good and well just studying

[abstract rover]

gm pals

hope yall are staying warm. its -20F here, no windchill.

[ocean stone]

This weather has no chill

[abstract rover]

dammit cinna xD

[surreal crest]

🥁

Smooth as silk cinna, we need people like that in S6

[ocean stone]

takes a bow

[ocean stone]

Yeah I hear you have an "in" now, Chair. Help a pal out!

[surreal crest]

yeah yeah sure thing cinna, I'll pull some strings, see what can be done
you still gotta send the resume tho

disclaimer: it's all jokes, I am not working with S6 devs

[abstract rover]

that we know of

its reverse psychology u see

[surreal crest]

👀

uuuuhhh I gotta go!

🪑 💨

[burnt elm]

The new wallpapers are so pretty

[mint steppe]

Agreed! I just changed mine.

[burnt elm]

So did I!

[buoyant heath]

I'm still waiting for the printer to get back to me, but I should be able to start putting it up in my kitchen pretty soon.

[abstract rover]

LOL

[shrewd fiber]

Hey hey testing

[mint steppe]

Lmao nice

[shrewd fiber]

cool I did it right! I had to removing and re-enable 2FA on my account.

[abstract rover]

ok that was funny dadjoke xD

[shrewd fiber]

my phone uninstalled my authenticator and my worries, in order, were

1. authenticating logins for roleypoly, a bot that lets you assign roles through a web interface, for a friend's server
2. HOLY SHIT WAIT PALIA-

[abstract rover]

palia is pretty damn important ngl

[shrewd fiber]

it was up there on the list.

it would've been #1 but I had some stuff on my mind that meant I needed a venting channel, and Feli's server has one, but it's behind a role so that you can opt out if you want.

so I needed to auth my discord login to get to roleypoly and grab the role Knowledge of Hiding Spots

but once I did that and let my feels out, it hit me that changing my 2FA might not have gone perfect and I might be locked out of here.

[mint steppe]

I’m so exited for Palia and I want to try the game a lot. I still have the video of my daughter seeing the Palia trailer for the first time.

[ocean stone]

Great can't wait to see where you put it

[lost tiger]

MAOR ART - its so good

[celest maple]

Hey , the game is avabile ??

[fallen summit]

not yet. The release date is somewhere in less than 2 and a half years, that's all we know so far.

[remote latch]

Also .. closed alpha coming up in the first half of this year ... and .. around 4-5 tests before its available for everyone .. as per this quote
#💬│palia-discussions message

We are still in our early testing phases, so for now we're most comfortable saying "Alpha is in first half of 2022". After each testing phase we asses how well-developed/ready it is for launch  We're looking at about 4-5 testing phases before it's ready for "EEEVERRYOOONNNE!" ```

[frail pebble]

Looking forward to great results with these tests! Plus so happy the game devs are doing tests to ensure their game can handle crowd fluxes. Too many times watched as MMOs get launched and they crashed because of the crowd flux and if not that, glitches and errors galore

[chilly crater]

I'm really excited to see just how unique I can make my character look

[mint steppe]

I’m currently playing one of the oldest social MMO’s and I have a good feeling about Palia since it’s updated.

[remote latch]

yeah, the gradual population count will help them cater for gameplay on quiet days as well as busy days

[surreal crest]

EARTHMAGE!

[mint steppe]

Me! chair!

[surreal crest]

I see you have a new pfp

is nice.

[mint steppe]

Thank you! It’s been like this for months and I’m ready for a change lol.

[chilly crater]

On the topic of changing up your profile, I was thinkin' about changing my color

but now briar daisy is sort of staple

I can't get myself to change it sadge

[mint steppe]

I just changed mine to the flower

[remote latch]

Xrystal .. er I mean Crystal Lake Lotus

[chilly crater]

Its a pretty color but id feel weird using it haha

[remote latch]

I can't have the colour I would like so it was the best out of the options .. due to the name

#💬│palia-discussions

[wind ibex]

[molten bronze]

so I just saw the art with animals. on one hand that is some great work on the animation. on the other these little things are gonna get hunted if you can get mats from them

[wind ibex]

💥

[molten bronze]

talking about crafting

in many games you can get crafting materials by hunting animals

[wind ibex]

Someone is shown hunting Sernuks in the trailer. While no reason is given, one can assume resources.

[merry crater]

D: I missed official art yesterday. The scenery is beautiful~ Hope everyone is doing good here!

[crystal topaz]

Beautiful! But yes, those are definitely going to be hunted...

[remote latch]

yes we assume cooking via meat and perhaps ( based on Jel being a tailor ) that tailoring will be an option and you can use animal skin for that .. only time will tell

[wind ibex]

I think they did say that they will have ways to do everything without killing, that there will be vegan alternatives to anything that would use materials gathered from animals.

[remote latch]

Yeah .. but wasn't that just for food ... if it does include clothing then mayhap there will be some sort of plant that can be used to make clothes instead of animal skin, of course there is the option of shearing wool off of an animal and using that.

[wind ibex]

I think they use the term vegan in clothes manufacturing as well. Like they changed from calling it Naga hide to Vegan Leather.

[buoyant heath]

Most of the clothing will be made from the skin of your fallen allies

[wind ibex]

All my allies must have been cotton...

[remote latch]

Looks like quite a few vegan sources for clothing .. but I was surprised to see wool being classed as non vegan because it harms them ? I thought they are sheared to help them keep cool in the summer ..

[ocean stone]

Not that kind of skin art plz

[wind ibex]

It doesn't have to be harmful in the gathering process to be non vegan, just has to be animal sourced. Eggs and milk are not gathered in a harmful way, but are still animal sourced, and thus non-vegan.

[remote latch]

Gotcha .. the website just worded it that way which I thought was weird

[wind ibex]

Well, some people think you have to murder the sheep to get their wool, they don't know sheering exists.

[ocean stone]

I want to see Jel sheer chapaa!

[fallen summit]

a hairless chapaa

[remote latch]

Well normally the farmer sheers the sheep and distributes to the next person in the chain before getting to the tailor to use.

[wind ibex]

It wouldn't be a chapaa, they would sheer the big cow things

[remote latch]

Yeah the Yakmoos look like they have excess fur rather than skin

[wind ibex]

Chapaas would likely have fur closer to a beaver pelt. Pelts need to be skinned. The vegan alternative would be a tailor manufactured felt.

[somber crag]

Hiiii, Palians. ❤️

[abstract rover]

minecraft moment

[somber crag]

We're only one day away from the weekend. Well, for some.

Friday needs to get here. >:T

[frank matrix]

those new wallpapers are in-game renders?

[abstract rover]

im taking tomorrow off again.

[abstract rover]

yea :)

[frank matrix]

my god men

thats great af

[somber crag]

It's a bootiful bootyful game, for sure.

[abstract rover]

yeah, really lovely

[frank matrix]

im expecting a lot of secrets in this lands

[wind ibex]

I think you meant "Bootyful" there Anner.

[somber crag]

I fixed it. c:

[abstract rover]

tsk tsk anner missing out on her own jokes

[somber crag]

I know, shame on me! I should know better.

[somber crag]

I am, too! I think there will be a LOT of things to uncover. I'm excited to sink my fingers into it.

[wind ibex]

I can't wait to explore!

[somber crag]

I just hope that it's released when there's a lull in games, because right now... THERE'S SO MANY. So many things to play this month.

[wind ibex]

I even have a shirt that says "I was born to explore" True it is about Link from Zelda, but still.

[somber crag]

'Cause I already know I'm gunna get lost in it.

[remote latch]

either in game renders or in engine renders or concept art .. but seeing as the last few are stills from the announcement video likely in engine renders

[wind ibex]

What if the Recipe Cards they showed in the past are actual textures used in the cooking interface?

[surreal crest]

whenever I see you I think about "Boten Anna" by Basshunter

[somber crag]

If only I knew what that was.

[surreal crest]

google it! its a nice, oldie song B)

[somber crag]

Oh no, I actually do know this song. And some of his other hits.

For the NA people, it was like... "Now You're Gone" bop.

[worthy rose]

hello palia !!!!

Now there's two of them

[uneven pebble]

I'm doing alright, bundled up warm under blankets with some tea

[abstract rover]

i really just spent just under an hour doing 35 bottles

damn these take ages lol

its like 40 seconds per bottle, not including the sealing and transfer part

[carmine relic]

What're the bottles for?

[ocean stone]

popping?

[chilly crater]

I.. think its the opposite

[ocean stone]

well I meant, csr is sealing them and then they get popped later!

[chilly crater]

oop, yeah i caught it now

[ocean stone]

hehe

[chilly crater]

thanks for keeping me in check cinna lmao

[ocean stone]

I do my best o7

[abstract rover]

they're filled with a sensitizer that goes into our products

[ocean stone]

mmm tasty

[abstract rover]

its my job to fill, seal, and ship them

[carmine relic]

Ah

Home is where your talking chair is

[carmine relic]

Ah, so this is my house

[surreal crest]

Finally, comfy bed

Yes it is, sorry I got the room a lil messy

Btw I bought this amazing carbon-like fake leather/PO leather and I gotta tell ya, its amazing

[autumn knoll]

where we can play palia?:C

[remote latch]

At the moment you can't but the closed alpha is coming soon so make sure you sign up for a chance at testing on the website ( palia.com ).

[surreal crest]

Take a seat and wait with us

[carmine relic]

Chair, you have no idea what you just said

[woeful spear]

Unfortunately only in our imagination for now 😔

[remote latch]

And we do lots of imagining of what we might be doing Considering we don't know the majority of the game yet ..theres lots of imagination involved

And I see you lurking there KJ

[wind ibex]

KJ is always lurking

[fallen summit]

just 1 more exam and after that there will be less lurking mode

[remote latch]

🤞

[wind ibex]

Between KJ and Xrystal, I know there is always someone to greet me when I hop on.

[remote latch]

And you think you're undesirable

[wind ibex]

I haven't been on a date in over 4 years...

[fallen summit]

always happy to see all of you whenever we take a little break

[remote latch]

only 4 years ? bah thats nothing

[wind ibex]

I will drop the title once I have a date again.

[remote latch]

have you been trying ?

[wind ibex]

yep

[remote latch]

Well I guess covid may be causing issues there

[wind ibex]

I think the fact that I am rather Odd is a bigger issue.

[fallen summit]

but aren't we all?

[wind ibex]

Some in more acceptable ways than others.

[remote latch]

I'm classed as weird

[fallen summit]

but a wonderful sort of weird

[remote latch]

rofl

[fallen summit]

and so are you Odd-Ball. we wish you all the best and believe that you'll be able to find someone with whom you'll embrace the weirdness of eachother

[remote latch]

Yes I am sure you will find someone that likes you for you despite your oddness 🙂

[wind ibex]

It feels like finding the 1 grain of sand in the Sahara desert.

[surreal crest]

or do I?

[wind ibex]

Been searching for 30 years to no avail.

[remote latch]

I never bothered searching .. I can count my boyfriends on one hand .. and realised I don't need one 🙂

[wind ibex]

I can count my girlfriends on one finger...and she never truly cared for me, just preferred me to being alone...

[remote latch]

okay you got me beat ..

But yeah mine weren't exactly brilliant ones .. either

I've decided to be the crazy cat lady or squirrel lady

Hey at least with Palia you can practise your chat up lines

[wind ibex]

Something tells me "Hey, do you need help getting the Chapaa out of your garden" isn't going to work irl.

obligatory ooh pretty! in chat

[cyan basin]

I had a dream last night that I was watching Palia download, 98%...99%...100%.. 'Welcome to Palia' screen, then my ENTIRE HOUSE LOST POWER AND INTERNET! Then I woke up and was horrified, angry, and sad all at once

my nightmares are unusual, at least

[wind ibex]

Considering the fact I feel pain and don't know that I am dreaming, I would not wish my dreams/nightmares on anyone.

[cyan basin]

Yeah, when asked if I use illicit pharmaceuticals (or offered them) I always say 'nah, my nighmares are bad enough, I don't want to have them when I'm not in control of my body'

[tranquil cosmos]

Gosh I wonder what fun palia stuff everyone is talking about..

[midnight oak]

Hi Otter! Happy timezone everyone! Also looks like submit questions has wrapped up!

[serene bronze]

Probably has been answered before, but does anyone know if this game will have holiday events and such?

[fallen summit]

Not sure if I remember correctly, but we still don't have any official info about possible holiday events. As far as I remember though, they don't really plan on putting in the irl holidays

[remote latch]

Yeah I've not seen anything stated on whether or not they will so we will just have to wait and see

Nope .. there were 19 questions regarding holidays back in June .. they either didn't see them amongst the others ( there were tons of questions ) or was one of the questions they had to avoid answering

[cinder temple]

Incoming.

[sharp obsidian]

I can only confirm that I will always do something for April Fools.

[pure badge]

Good night yall!

[remote latch]

yaaay ... april fools patch notes please 🙂

[marble hedge]

I wanted to get married on April Fools...

[cinder temple]

Should have married a Pranktiger instead of a Passiontiger.

[marble hedge]

nah, she would've done it, my divorce papaers processed a week late

[remote latch]

darn it

[sly mirage]

evening palians

[rotund elbow]

hey is the game out yet?

[lofty mulch]

Nope!

[remote latch]

It’s estimated at less than 2 and a half years with around 4-5 test phases before it will be ready for everyone. But, the closed alpha is expected in the first half of this year. So if you want to help test, sign up on the website (Palia.com)

[calm girder]

so sad to hear it it way off in the distance to play the full game 😦

[rotund elbow]

its okay, botw2, pokemon arcues, dying light2, elden ring, sun haven and stardew 2 will keep me busy until palia comes out

cant stop gaming

[warm plover]

stardew 2????

[cunning mural]

day 22?

the wait continues

[abstract rover]

Huh. i just learned of the name Badru which has origins in Swahili culture. I wonder if Badruu has any relation to that or if it's just coincidence lol

Or maybe i'm just overthinking this cuz i'm tired. lol goodnight pals

Hey, hi!

I am so energized today, happy friday everyone

[marble hedge]

I am so... snowed in with our 4th nor'easter in 5 weeks today. Seems winter is making up for the last 5 years of good weather.

[ocean stone]

I am iced in and ready to hibernate! Palutations, all!

Hellooo Palians :)

Hi Xrystal!!!

How are you? Do you have a snow day?!

[zinc scarab]

I’m good! And yes I do, second snow day in a row :D

my geometry test is delayed until Monday and therefore my GPA is saved

[remote latch]

looks out window .. pouts no snow here :sigh:

[ocean stone]

Hooray Mango!

Aww I'm sorry Xrystal

[remote latch]

its okay .. gives me something to complain about ... its snows .. darn its snowing .. it rains .. darn its raining .. we're an island full of complainers

Good afternoon everyone!

it better be worth it

[wind ibex]

I hope you take this extra time to study Mango, if you were worried to take the test today.

[versed zenith]

hi from italy...i'm in hype for this new mmorpg🇮🇹 👍 😃

[plain hound]

well welcome then!

[cloud quail]

I'm wondering when we can start creating content for Palia. I'd love to stream the game, patiently waiting until we're allowed to do so

[wind ibex]

Most games don't allow streaming of content until close to the release when the NDA is lifted. The NDA isn't likely to be lifted until the game is in a more complete state, probably around the time they have an open beta, which is likely to still be 2 years out.

[sharp obsidian]

Here is a geometry comic to motivate you!

[wind ibex]

Hehe, math humor

[wind ibex]

A normal is perpendicular to the surface of an object, A tangent is parallel at the point of contact.

Are you less lost Cinna?

[ancient geode]

this game looks amazing so far! got wind of it on twitter today !

[wind ibex]

Welcome!

Hii guysss

How’s your day going

[fallen summit]

Hi. doing pretty well, and you?

[wind ibex]

[bright forge]

Hi hi pals

[fallen summit]

Hi Perin!

and Odd-Ball

[bright forge]

Hi Kin and Jerry. How are your exams so far?

[fallen summit]

we have just 1 more still waiting for the results of 2, but the others so far went really well

[bright forge]

I'm glad to hear that

[fallen summit]

what about you? how are your exams going?

[bright forge]

I passed some... for some I still waiting for results and at least one is still ahead.

[fallen summit]

good luck with the remaining ones! we can do this

[bright forge]

[fallen summit]

@silent folio to answer your question, we still don't know. as far as release date goes, all we know so far is that the game will probably come out somewhere in less than 2 and a half years, while the closed alpha will most likely start in the first half of this year

[bright forge]

I need Palia so bad

[fallen summit]

don't we all

[lunar tundra]

Another month has gone by and still no Palia

[fallen summit]

getting closer to the alpha though

[silent folio]

https://tenor.com/view/im-waiting-baby-cute-ok-sad-gif-16641668

[lunar tundra]

I am so hyped, the more testing the closer they get to a full release.

[bright forge]

I don't know what's worse waiting without knowing what to expect or being tester and waiting to test game again.

[lunar tundra]

Think of all the poor people out there that don't know palia even exists. That'd be the worst.

They don't even know what they could be missing out on

[bright forge]

I hope all of you guys pre-Alphas will have place in Alpha

[wind ibex]

I just noticed that the mug I use for my snacks is 26 years old...

[lunar tundra]

🤞 here's hoping!

[wind ibex]

It is an old "Batman Forever" mug from MC Donalds.

[lunar tundra]

That's almost as old as me lol

[bright forge]

That mug is older than me.

[fallen summit]

same here

[wind ibex]

Well, I have some chairs in my living room that I got from my Grandma. They were made in the 50s, don't know the exact year.

Do you guys think Palia will last as long as these chairs?

[bright forge]

I hope I will last as long as these chairs

[fallen summit]

Hopefully. Imagine growing old together with it

[woeful spear]

It surely will

[wind ibex]

Well, I have played WoW for a majority of my adult life...

[bright forge]

Every time I read #851872239435644928 I think to myself that people read discord on pager or something because they can't see one line above sometimes

[wind ibex]

Oh, I got 16 people to upvote my question, cool.

[bright forge]

I got 2

[surreal crest]

I START MY VACATION TODAY

2 WEEKS OF FREEEDOOOOOOOOOOM

[remote latch]

[bright forge]

[remote latch]

Well I've played it for most of its life .. but just about a half of my adult life

[surreal crest]

ya better get your numbers right, math is no joke

[wind ibex]

My numbers were accurate at the time of my posting.

[surreal crest]

aight I just teleported to the past, you are right this time.

[remote latch]

@silent folio to answer your question in introductions ... at the moment the game isn't released and has an estimated release time window of less than 2 and a half years. Closed alpha is coming up in the next few months so if you haven't signed up for testing on the wesbite ( palia.com ) you might want to do that and answer the brief survey. There will possibly be about 4-5 of these test waves before the game will be ready for everyone to play.

[sharp obsidian]

2.5 seems a little high, definitely less than 2 and 32/65th years.

[surreal crest]

oh no, it's him

[wind ibex]

Don't mind the mimic, we are always happy to see S6 here.

[buoyant heath]

That's fractionally better.

[wind ibex]

Better is better, no matter how small.

[fallen summit]

but then again, why exactly 32/65 is there a deeper meaning to those numbers

[surreal crest]

jokes on you, got hired by Eris recently!
jkjkjkjk

[vale crypt]

[remote latch]

is it how old I will be when Palia finally comes out ? - the 65 part

[fallen summit]

naaaah, I wouldn't say it's so far away

[remote latch]

maybe 65 months .... so 32 months .. which is ... 2 years and 8 months ..

[fallen summit]

well, as far as release goes, I think this meant that it's less than 2,4923076 years

[remote latch]

but then that is higher than 2.5

[fallen summit]

however, the two numbers could also represent the dates of 2nd march and 5th june?

[wind ibex]

They just used a comma instead of a period. 2.4923076 is less than 2.5.

[ocean stone]

🥁

[fallen summit]

oh, I think Xrystal was still talking about her comment of 2 years and 8 months and that being higher than 2.5

[wind ibex]

Missed that comment.

[ocean stone]

It's okay oddball. We can't account for them all

[fervent root]

Guess who just got the CORONAAAA🥳 😐

[wind ibex]

Beer or virus?

[remote latch]

rofl

[fervent root]

ew rona beer tastes bad, the virus ofc

only beer i drink is Tuborg classic

danish

[sly mirage]

well, with the virus maybe now corona won't taste quite as bad

[fervent root]

ill have to loose both my sense of taste AND smell for that

[fallen summit]

get well soon buddy hope it won't be too bad

[fervent root]

well rn its like having hangovers

but thanks KinJerry<3

[cyan basin]

Another friday, another week closer to Alpha!

[marble hedge]

Another week I didn't get to play Palia

[stiff fractal]

Another week of me playing other games until that fateful PING! of "Announcement of Alpha Release"

[ocean stone]

[surreal crest]

sleeep

[vale crypt]

cooofffeeeee

[maiden cedar]

is there anyway to buy into early access or alpha? 😄

lol, mortal online 2 failed and i'm bored

[marble hedge]

Buy, no. But if you go to Palia.com you can sign up for a chance to get into alpha.

[maiden cedar]

Thanks, yea I did that first day. Nadda.

[marble hedge]

Well, Alpha hasn't started yet. Supposed to be the first half of this year.

[remote latch]

Also, only 1.4k out of 80k+ got into the Pre-Alpha so most people didn't get in then .. Alpha is supposed to be more people but we don't know how many. And there are now over 118k people on this server hinting at a higher number of people who signed up.

[midnight oak]

This is my favorite Palia emoji

[brave thorn]

Everyone start break dancing!

[sharp obsidian]

Do you know how many coins I had to flip to get down to 1.4k?

[remote latch]

2.8k ?

[brave thorn]

Should have just ran the /roll text chat command in World of Warcraft 80,000 times.

[sharp obsidian]

You caught me, I didn't flip coins... Pray to the almighty rand!

.withColumn('rand', F.rand(seed=69)).orderBy('rand')

[remote latch]

You didn't use the 1337 seed ? shame on you

[sharp obsidian]

I had a different process to randomize between the best seeds - 42, 69, 420, 1337.

[ocean stone]

Wow I wonder how you determined those

Hai Ho KinKin!

Happy timezones indeed.
I had a busy week too.
Today it's just cartoons morning and simple breakfast. Yay.

How's it going, folks?

[fallen summit]

lurking and studying for an exam

[fallen elbow]

Okay. Is it soon?
I'll probably have one myself in march. 😢

[midnight oak]

Struggling with loss of motivation. Maybe my body is saving it for future alpha test if I get in.

[fallen summit]

it's in a week

[midnight oak]

Best of luck Kinjerry!

[fallen elbow]

What Vexy said. 😉

[fallen summit]

good luck on your exam as well!

How is everyone

[fallen summit]

doing pretty good. and you?

[wispy jay]

Good good. Just studying

[surreal crest]

Eyooo

[remote latch]

[surreal crest]

Hi Xrystal! How are ya

[remote latch]

good good .. looking forward to that vacation time ?

[surreal crest]

Hell yeah. I'll make a nice progress with my cosplay I think

[wispy jay]

Oh good

I cosplay palia characters when the time comes

[surreal crest]

Yeah, that would be cool to do. Hm. If they introduce a character who wears a mask I'll think about it too

[wispy jay]

Lets see what character they will introduce

[wispy meadow]

👀

[remote latch]

have you seen the ones they have already introduced to us ? in #🌠│official-art ?

[wispy jay]

Yup

Im sure there more i will find and like

[remote latch]

Yeah, they may introduce more once Alpha is started, if by then they have created more. It all depends on how many characters will be interactable with in each village area we are introduced to.

[wispy jay]

Neko ones lol meow

[wispy meadow]

Well best option would be Einar cosplay

[cunning mural]

waitinggg

[wispy meadow]

And Chapaa cosplay is close second

[wispy jay]

Wonder how they will do with the store closing sitation

What if players dont leave etc or something

Or is afk

[remote latch]

Ah those, I wouldn't be surprised if they come at a later date .. they may be from a different community on Palia and may not come into the story for months after release.

[remote latch]

what do you mean ?

[wispy jay]

Didnt creatures say the stores merchant will close at nights?

[wispy meadow]

Stores merchant?

[wispy jay]

Yes

Say at night they will close up store for the night and reopen at day time

[remote latch]

Ah yeah, they said they may close their doors at night for sleep and such .. the store could be a 24 hour thing if it isn't where he sleeps

[wispy jay]

I prefer the close at night way

Make it feel realistic

[remote latch]

But if they did have a time thing where they did close, I suspect it would be the case of placing the players outside of the store when they close

[cunning mural]

night merchant

[wispy jay]

No night merchant

[cunning mural]

why not

[wispy jay]

Onlything open at night is bars

[uneven pebble]

And my coffee shop if I can have one.

[wispy meadow]

Night market would be interesting but maybe as an occasional or event type thing

[wispy jay]

Right

Dont want a 24/7 merchant

Give it some realistic

Otherwise it be like any mmmorpg games

Always open merchants

[remote latch]

Well that would be a bummer if the only time some people can play is when the server is at night .. how would they use the store ? ... but if its 1 hour per game day .. its whether they have an hour to devote to game play to guarantee some day time game play

[wispy jay]

Well i mean its a cycle in the game

They mention like 30 minutes day and nights

Not like you wake up at day in ya real life and play and find out its a night time cycle and have to wait 12 hours before morning

[remote latch]

I know, just thinking of the people that may only spend a short time playing games and the only time they have spare always falls on a night time in game.. remote chance .. just thinking of that possibility 🙂

But then it may be that you don't use the store that often .. so less of an issue there. It all depends on what use the store has in the game once you have acquired your starting seeds / materials etc

[wispy jay]

Well im sure it nice and great

I would love to just be in a store looking at goods and the store owner saying we are closing in 5 minutes

[cunning mural]

that would be cool

[wispy jay]

And ehen timer runs out those still inside and who log back in while its close are automacially ported outside the door

[cunning mural]

some sort of secret night merchant maybe

that pops up

selling exotic goods

[remote latch]

yeah it could be cool .. oh and yeah .. maybe at night he deals with his 'other' goods

[wispy jay]

Maybe exotic

But if its a same merchandice

[remote latch]

His questionable goods

[wispy jay]

Defeat the purpose of a close store

[remote latch]

not if it is only open for those that have access for a reason .. maybe based on friendship with him or a skill level

[cunning mural]

rare fysh

[wispy jay]

Idk if any of ya ever play Fable The Lost Chapter

Same concepts

[surreal crest]

best game eveer

SHOPS ARE NOOOOW.... CLLLLLLLLLLLOSIN'!

[wispy jay]

Lol

Yea

[remote latch]

it actually reminds me of my time in Sims Online whereby we game 30/15 minute warnings of closing the house so we could log out and go to bed. That was cool as people finished up what they were doing and slowly left and some stayed till the last minute

[wispy meadow]

This reminds me of that thing we had talked about in this chat....
About some very shady dude who shows up at night to sell you "questionable" meat or something like that

It was long time ago so I don't remember every detail

[remote latch]

it rings a bell .. search mode activated .. ... error .. error .. too many results involving the term 'question'

[wispy meadow]

[wispy jay]

Right that be cool and fun to experience. Just hang out at the to talk and chat and wait for the stores to reopen. Trade with players

As for merchant....there can be player merchants

[wispy meadow]

I hope so cause I have a whole patisserie business planned out

[remote latch]

Well we are hoping for that ... we haven't been told one way or another how we contribute to the economy

[wispy jay]

Right

Be like the game i use to play silkroad online

[remote latch]

looking at the store visual it made me wonder if that was the way we did trade with other players .. all via Zeki ..

[wispy meadow]

Probably 🤔

[remote latch]

Seeing as the game is designed around play as little or as much as you want when you want .. we need a way to trade ( if we are allowed to ) to other players without needing them to be online at the same time as you ... but then there is that cute little cart outside the inn that throws a hint of one to one selling in person.

[wispy meadow]

Imagine if we can just stock a street side cart with stuff we want to sell and then even if we go offline as long as the item is there people can still buy from it

[wispy jay]

Dont want to have to many player merchant in one area and over crowding the area lol

[remote latch]

they will probably have it so that doesn't happen in some way ..

[remote latch]

always possible .. or you can hire one of the npcs

[wispy meadow]

Ohhh yes! Hire an npc would be interesting concept

[wispy jay]

Well im sure there be more then one npc merchant store

[remote latch]

probably one per village area

[wispy jay]

One foer goods. A blacksmith store...weapons and armor store

[remote latch]

Ah yeah, the buildings for the different npcs may sell items for their skill set sure .. but Zeki is a general store for pretty much everything

The forge may be where the blacksmith sells their wares you can buy ... the inn possibly food and lodgings with a drink or three at extra cost. Jel's place may be where you get tailor related items ( assuming tailoring is a skill players can do )

[wispy meadow]

Pretty much everything 👀
Sounds very sus.... What's he selling in the wee hours of the night eh?

[remote latch]

I couldn't find that post you were talking about .. way too many posts with the word question in

[wispy meadow]

Ahh no worries
It was so long ago anyways

[wispy jay]

Do ya think there be a live stream of game play from the developers? For those who coulnt do the alpha?

[remote latch]

Hard to say .. they didn't with Pre-Alpha. There were just more revealed information than what we have had since then .. so maybe something like that again.

[wispy jay]

Gotcha

[remote latch]

This for example is what we got in August ( mid way through the pre-alpha )
2nd August - Villager Vote
4th August - Clip: 12 second video clip in game visual
5th August - Reveal: Najuma info card
9th August - Villager Vote
12th August - Image : Flowers in the Village
12th August - Team Answers for July Questions
13th August - Reveal: Badruu info card
16th August - Villager Vote
19th August - Gif: Grumpy Fish
19th August - Reveal: Nai'o info card
23rd August - Villager Vote
25th August - Image: kenyatta visuals sheet
26th August - Reveal: Delaila info card
30th August - Villager Vote

Monday - Villager Vote
Wednesday/Thursday/Thursday - Visual
Thursday/Friday - Reveal

We have had village vote re-instated for a few days since then but it went away again .. I suspect waiting until there is more to reveal as we get closer to Alpha. Most of the time since September last year has been one day for image info instead of 2 for vote/reveal and 1 for image info.

For the lurkers out there and any newcomers. Welcome to Palia : Auni's Mail Service. Auni is looking forward to meeting us, I could even say excited ( ) so much so that he is browsing through the channels himself acquiring useful documents that you may want to take a look out . So look out for information from the official channels. Auni will likely visit the #❔│game-faqs,#❓│old-team-answers-alpha and #🌠│official-art channels first and then maybe the currently archived #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha channel, lots of humans in there. He will be fascinated to know that the #❔│game-faqs also includes links to the documents compiled by Rin and Vlad, members of our human community. Once you have read through these documents you should know what we know about Palia : The Game so far. Auni will hopefully remember that there is a Pre-Alpha blog on the Palia site that can be accessed via the #📢│palia-news channel or the bottom of the Palia site itself and will send that along to you too. If you sign up and fill in the surveys I am sure Auni will gladly deliver these to the developers so that you get a chance to visit him and his family and friends. Again, welcome and we hope you enjoy waiting with us .

Hiya Chair bb ^^

[celest maple]

Hello !

[surreal crest]

Hello Sartas!

your nickname reminds me about an old character in an old game. His name was Saturas

and he was water mage

[chilly crater]

Good afternoon friends!

[urban sparrow]

Good morning!

I need to know everyone's favourite tea and coffee blends.

[buoyant heath]

Yes

[shrewd fiber]

Coffee: something I can't have 😔 hazelnut.
Tea: lemon blossom. Ginseng is good too. I recommend Lavender to my friends a lot.

[wind ibex]

Coffee- I can't have
Tea - Bangle Spice by Celestial Seasonings

[chilly crater]

Coffee: I don't know what blend you're thinking of specifically, but I'm a dark roast kinda guy
Tea: I'm an unoriginal cinnamon apple enjoyer

[tired badge]

Coffee: Most light roasts, I drink it black.
Tea: Buttermint and Chocolate Puer

[surreal crest]

black tea, 3 teaspoons of sugar
I don't drink coffee

3.5 *

[wind ibex]

Mimics drink?

[surreal crest]

idk you should ask them

[wind ibex]

I just did...

[surreal crest]

I ain't mimic

[north helm]

so an online market place connected to your account's... "resource bank." That sounds like a good idea tbh

that was my first msg here xD

[remote latch]

Depending on what you mean by online market place. I was thinking along the lines of we sell our stuff to Zeki and other players buy from Zeki ... so you won't know who is buying or who is selling only that the stuff is there to buy and sell - edit: kinda like the way supermarkets work - they source from factories and farms and sell to the consumer and the consumer doesn't normally know where they came from :endedit ... but then .. possibly.. there is the option to trade directly to each other and thus allow regular customer base etc. But, we don't know the ins and outs of the economy so its just a theory based on a visual or two at this point.

[north helm]

oh yes, true i forgot about in game market places like that xD

[remote latch]

did you just join the server today ?

[north helm]

nope xD

[remote latch]

so you know about the different channels and where the information is ?

[north helm]

i am pretty new tho, been in the server for like 2-3weeks tho

[north helm]

looking at everything rn

[remote latch]

👍

The pinned documents are a nice quick feed of info .. but the channels are the most up to date ( #❓│old-team-answers-alpha and #🌠│official-art are the ones most updated by the devs though )

[burnt elm]

[lapis bane]

so is the game is still in early development ?

[fallen summit]

if I remember correctly it's somewhere 3 years in the making. We're waiting for the closed alpha to start most likely in the first half of this year, while the release date is in less than 2 and a half years

[remote latch]

Latest comment from Amelia the community contact in the company :
#💬│palia-discussions message

We are still in our early testing phases, so for now we're most comfortable saying "Alpha is in first half of 2022". After each testing phase we asses how well-developed/ready it is for launch  We're looking at about 4-5 testing phases before it's ready for "EEEVERRYOOONNNE!" ```

[lapis bane]

im tired of genshin and wanted something better like why do i need to get my character 7 times so it can be powerful enough while some other players can pay money and become better than me why do i have to grind weeks just so i can do 1% of what they can do xd

[cold mesa]

its wild to think Alpha is so soon!

[cinder temple]

Ooh, a wild Mushy. How rare~

[woeful spear]

Burned out from genshin...
But I spent too much time to quit

[lapis bane]

i stopped playing but my friends forced me to get back

i reached ar 40 in 2 weeks finished the entire anemo tower and geo tower

got bored

[urban sparrow]

Earl Grey fan?

[surreal crest]

very much yes

[urban sparrow]

high-fives

[surreal crest]

[urban sparrow]

Add a drop or two of vanilla into it as it steeps and you get the flavour of a london fog but without the milk.

[surreal crest]

noted

[urban sparrow]

Just make sure you add those 3.5 spoons of sugar!

[chilly crater]

6 minimum

table not tea

[remote latch]

hmm London fog has a flavour ? I'll have to check that in the morning on a foggy day

[urban sparrow]

Yeah! It's dreary disappointment and minor loathing! Kinda sweet if you're the sadistic type!

[remote latch]

yeah dreary is a good description rofl

[chilly crater]

And that's exactly why I only visit london in the summer

[urban sparrow]

Wait ... wait. We talking London England or London Ontario?

[chilly crater]

..England I assume?

[remote latch]

i was talking england rofl

[surreal crest]

... I thought England

[urban sparrow]

Oh, well, then I wouldn't know what that tastes like ...

[surreal crest]

lmao haha

[remote latch]

haha

I forgot there was a London in Canada

[chilly crater]

Pretty sure there's fog there too

But it might taste differently

[remote latch]

Yes, we can get a deep fog .. but I don't think I've ever noticed a taste ..

[urban sparrow]

Okay, so ... maybe this is just me ... but does fog and tea not have a better experience than say, sun and tea? And rain and black tea, like ... does that not go really well together. Sitting on a covered deck, sipping tea in the rain.

Like, I know you can't give that sensory feeling in videogames, but I still do it IN videogames because I remember the smell and taste just seeing it...

[abstract rover]

o/

[remote latch]

no clue, I don't drink tea or coffee .. but an ice cold drink in the summer with no rain is good ... or a warm drink indoors in the winter with no rain is good

[celest maple]

sup dudes

[wind ibex]

Hey Pinkie

[carmine relic]

Aye!

[lost tiger]

im butt hurt, all them devs, creating content for palia, AND THEY test it before we do!!!! am so jealous LOL

[carmine relic]

I can't wait to play Pre-alpha

[lost tiger]

im too impatient but im forced to wait 😦

[carmine relic]

Maybe you'll be picked a tester? I hope so!

[craggy ember]

Pre-Alpha gets one more run, no new testers

[lost tiger]

i hope so 😦 everyday i hope i get an e-mail for testing for palia even though i know its unlikely for a long time haha

i gotta keep my excitement up for this game

all the sneak peeks so far look SOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOD

[craggy ember]

If it makes you feel any better, they're testing things we the Pre-Alpha testers haven't tested. And that's even when we get to try the "latest" build

[long torrent]

Palia

[faint holly]

i've been playing ultima online in the meantime

a private server, anyway... not the live version. live version feels so bad.

[tepid slate]

When does this release?

[fallen summit]

somewhere in less than 2 and a half years. Right now we're waiting for the closed alpha that will most likely start in the first half of this year

[craggy ember]

4-5 more tests before the game is ready for everyone. So it'll more than likely be a 2023/2024 release

[tepid slate]

Oh wow

Thanks!

[craggy ember]

It was late last year that two phases of Pre-Alpha testing was done. Which is an extremely rare phase to happen unless bought into. I know there is another one coming up soon. Then it'll be on to regular Alpha testing, which I believe will allow more people to join in. Probably 3-4 phases worth. More than likely go to Beta testing/Early Access for a good phase and then Full Release

[nova ingot]

any news on testing?

[surreal crest]

meh

[lost tiger]

i'll pay 20 bux to play pre alpha phase LOL and 20bux more for each test JUST so i can play

[celest maple]

Hi guysss

[surreal crest]

hello!

[fickle umbra]

anyone know how servers will work ? will i be able to play with AS friends when im EU ?

[fallen summit]

as far as I know, this is what they said about servers so far: #❓│old-team-answers-alpha message

[fickle umbra]

Doesnt really help :/ hope the game wont be region locked, seeing how combat aint a big part of the game, good ping shouldnt matter too much

[brave thorn]

There actually is a more detailed answer to the one you are seeking.

[S6]BuscoBear says

You won't have to choose a server before you're allowed to make a character or anything, we'll let you go to where your friends are. But play between regions may have some restrictions so we can keep our network performance up.

#❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha message

[fickle umbra]

AH thank you

well hope the restrictions wont be bad

[fallen merlin]

Hello everyone

[pure badge]

Good night yall!

Huzzah!

Good evening!! How is everybody doing this evening 😊??

[remote latch]

For the lurkers out there and any newcomers. Welcome to Palia : Jina's Research Lab. Jina is working on her human thesis and is currently browsing through the channels acquiring knowledge that you may find useful. She is starting with the #❔│game-faqs,#❓│old-team-answers-alpha and #🌠│official-art channels first and then maybe the currently archived #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha channel, lots of human interaction in there to flesh out her thesis. She will be delighted to know that the #❔│game-faqs also includes links to the documents compiled by Rin and Vlad, members of our human community. Once you have read through these documents you should know what we know about Palia : The Game so far. Jina has also browsed through the Pre-Alpha blog for further insights on the humans which you can find on the Palia site that can be accessed via the #📢│palia-news channel or the bottom of the Palia site itself. If you sign up and fill in the surveys I am sure Jina would love the chance to meet you and your friends in person. Again, welcome and we hope you enjoy waiting with us .

[remote latch]

rofl I see a lurking chair

[surreal crest]

it is me

it is 3:21 AM currently

I have no control over my actions

[remote latch]

I thought it was a bit late for you

[gusty fractal]

i was reading the answers and the one about furniture - id love some cottagecore/whimsical/fantasy typea style where so much stuff is overgrown with flowers an ivy an mushrooms, id love also tons of different types of plants to grow outside of crops like flowers, bushes - another style id think would be cool is an oriental style with lots of bright reds and accents

[remote latch]

You might want to put those ideas into #game-suggestions. They do grab out the ones they think are good ideas to consider down the line. Some of these they may have considered others they may not have.

[gusty fractal]

oh in the msg they posted they said to talk about it in the palia chat i can put it in the suggestions channel tho

[remote latch]

Yeah thats cool as well, but that might be at the time when the devs are hovering around to see responses as they do 🙂

This is the place for discussion about Palia though 🙂

[wispy meadow]

So....
What's your theories on Palian dinosaurs 👀

[gusty fractal]

i want that-

[remote latch]

Palian Dinosaurs are the human animals that have long gone extinct .. they're just as old

oooh maybe thats how the chapaa came about .. they found DNA from the various old Earth animals and created a new animal made from the DNA of several

[gusty fractal]

i think theres gotta be some weird lookin ones that came after humans that died out shortly after existing

not everything that exists is vary successful haha

[remote latch]

probably why the chapaa survived so well .. they had no predators to keep their numbers down

[gusty fractal]

i need a world dominated by chapaa

[remote latch]

There are a few Chapaa sanctuaries planned so thats a start rofl

[gusty fractal]

ooo we should be able to have them as pets then dye them an give them hairdos

[wispy meadow]

I feel like chapaa is the honey badger equivalent of Palia
Cute but can be a badass animal when in a crisis

[gusty fractal]

i think of them more as cute trash pandas

[wispy meadow]

Trash panda + honey badger
With maybe a 0.5% of bidoof

[gusty fractal]

agreed

[wispy meadow]

...
Would a Chapaa ancestor be a saber-toothed chapaa though? 🤔

[remote latch]

[wispy meadow]

Or a wooly chapaa

[gusty fractal]

sabertooth sloth

[cloud horizon]

the ancestor to the chapaa would be the flying screw

get into the chapaa

[gusty fractal]

omg

[remote latch]

[cloud horizon]

I'm here all night!

[remote latch]

The big question is .. with the Grimalkin being cat like beings .. do cat like creatures exist or did they just become more intelligent beings over the millenia

[cloud horizon]

not enough time has passed in the lore for a species to evolve that much theoretically

[wispy meadow]

I.... This....
Now I'm questioning whether pet kittens in Palia are actually kittens or kidnapped baby Grimalkin

[cloud horizon]

you've answered your own question

[gusty fractal]

i wouldnt mind with kittennapped babies

[cloud horizon]

a kitten is a kitten....a Grimalkin is a Grimalkin 😉

[remote latch]

Well its been at least 3000 years since humans disappeared .. whose to say how long before that, that the environment prompted the humans cats to go out on their own or maybe they had help from their human owners that went disastrously wrong

[gusty fractal]

fallout-but cats

[wispy meadow]

Now that I need a game of

[cloud horizon]

there would need to be something that advanced evolution from the outside. Like genetic modifcation to go from Feline to completely cognisant, thoughtful, upright walking creatures

[remote latch]

yep .. that's what I meant by help from their human owners ... maybe their advanced magical power wasn't the only advancements they had made

[gusty fractal]

not necessarily just because its not consistent with how other evolutions it could be possible in a different time

[cloud horizon]

it takes about 1 million years for lasting evolutionary changes to occur

[wispy meadow]

Or it could be that cats and grimalkins are entirely separate species that just look the same

[marble hedge]

Or this isn't Earth...

[wispy meadow]

Obviously it's Palia.

[remote latch]

yep the most likely event .. but doesn't hurt questioning the possibilities

And yes, its a different solar system to ours so who knows what spatial effects are in power here

[wispy meadow]

If we ever do get to have grimalkin characters then Im gonna roleplay as someone who adopted a cat thinking it's a grimalkin baby and just goes along with it.

[midnight oak]

Orrrrr magic!

[remote latch]

yep, a magical spell that went wrong .. or worked far too well

waves wand ( did they have wands ? ) or stirs a cauldron ( new fangled witches? ) time to make this kitty into one I can understand

[wispy meadow]

If Palia has witches then I demand for fairy godmothers rights too. Too many games have witches but not their counterpart

[remote latch]

Well a fairy godmother is a witch with good intentions right ? 🙂

[midnight oak]

Needs more angry rooster huts too

[remote latch]

why I do declare .... hen talking to foghorn leghorn

[wispy meadow]

Reading this made me imagine a turf war between chickens and ducks for some odd reason

[bright forge]

AND REPORT IS DONE!..... 4:44 nice

Hi Xrystal

Hi Anakerio

I hate myself for doing school projects last day at night

but it's done

[remote latch]

Now just think the relief if you do it the night it was given ?

[bright forge]

nah that's to borring

and there was a catch day it was given it was impossible to make because it was a long term project I was needed to do in parts as I learn how to do it. In group of 3 to 4 people but of course me being introvert and social awkward made me do it by myself

I may seem as a friendly and confident person but I have almost no friends

That's why I'm so glad I have you guys

[midnight oak]

Yes, we frens. We protec

You could not do project with Palia frens?

[remote latch]

I was the same Perin .. I'd rather do things myself than work with a group of people

[wispy meadow]

I relate so much rn
I have to finish my paper by tonight but it's huge and I'm panicking about getting it all right

[bright forge]

I mean I love to work with someone and all stat stuff. Sometimes tho I need to be alone to rest.

[bright forge]

You got it! I believe you will do it great!

ok 5 am I need to go because my brain hurts from thinking today. See you later guys

[midnight oak]

Sleep tight

[burnt elm]

Hihi!!!
