yo how do you play palia?
It isn't out yet
ah okay thanks
oh, right. no gifs here.
They will send out announcements when they start testing again, and sending out email invites, so if you haven't already make sure you have signed up for testing at palia.com. More tests are expected this year.
do you know what their process is for selecting testers?
totally random
word
No gif! ONLY WORD

Ya, I remember.
I wanted to do the "When will then be now" gif.
But oh well. It's okay.
I just use gifs and let people click the link if they want
I translate the gifs into descriptive text and paste it here

Iconic 
[Captain Jean-Luc Picard rubbing his forehead and temple with his left hand while sitting in the captain's chair on the bridge of the starship Enterprise, NCC-1701-D, apparently exasperated or overwhelmed by a feeling of annoyance]
That’s… very descriptive
this is like those audio descriptive audios for visually impaired people lol
Alt Text! I think.
so useful. So helpful.
Hello, how much do I have to pay to be able to get into the next playtest? Thank you! 😄
you cant, invites are sent at random
Ah... Sorry. :(
All we can do is obsess over the info we have and amuse each other while we wait.
Join us!
attempts to juggle and lets everyone laugh as all the juggling balls fall on her head
i had to write alt text for every single image i used in webdev
its a pain xD
oh whay
wrong reply sorreyyyyy
I like doing alt text lol
it just gets annoying
"wooden desk with an open laptop placed in the middle"
"green apple, banana, orange, and grapes in a fruit basket"
makes circus noises
😫
What colour are the grapes???
if they arent purple I dont want them
Dibs on the green ones.
Dibs on the candy
you could choke on them
/jkjk
You're the one eating the seedy kind!
what type of grapes do yall get, I have never had a seedy grape in my life ever
You do know that most fruit had seeds until we meddled?
yesyes i have seen wild bananas
Did you know bananas are clones of eachother? so it's the same banana
Someone told me cocktail cherries are crossbred with radishes to make them that colour.
yesyes and that is why an infection in bananas once killed them all in the US
you bring no new knowledge today Berry!!!
Did you know banana 'trees' are not technically trees they're better classified as weeds?
Yes yes, they're also not fruits they're berries
This year I discovered the gangly potted stick we inherited in the garden is actually a baby apple tree.
2 months
Not sure. This is the first year it's popped out tiny apples.
What kind of genetically mutated super tree do you have?
I was 3 decades off, about 8 years to bear fruit
We never moved it, since the Ivy grew over the pot it's in. It makes a few flowers every year, but now it's all determined.
videogame's
I goorgled it and I guess dwarf apple trees start producing after 2 years. My grandpa had a few, but the fruit wasn’t always consistent year to year so some years it was good for eating raw and others they baked stuff with the apples!
OwO I’d love that sort of variety in a farming game.
What kind of tree do I need to grow beef jerky?
I don't want cows, I want a jerky tree
I was gonna say grass but felt silly. Turns out it was a solid response.
Same as a bacon tree
Money Tree: then you can buy all the meats! 
You just have to mootivate your tree to think dry thoughts.
for bacon it can be anything cuz pigs eat literally anything
Aren't all trees money trees if trees are paper? 
You gonna start printing your own money?
Surely that's not illegal
🥓
to quote you
#💬│off-topic-chat message
I really am a genius individual aren't I
Hehee
yeah berry, you're truly no stranger to love
The fruit is usually rubbish to start with as well
it tastes like rubber?
I'll be honest, until like 3 years ago I thought love was someone you could tolerate long enough to spend time with daily
Emphasis on tolerate, not like
it isnt?
Apparently when you actually like someone you want to spend time with them and you don't feel like you have to
Who knew
Amazingly I've done this for 14 years with my husband now
I'll blame media for telling me that every couple hate eachother and argue constantly and that's what being married is
I should try a relationship at some point
That ship has sailed

Media and sitcoms effed up mine and my husbands relationship views until we were in our 20s. Was an eyeopening conversation to have.
Everyone deserves someone in their life they want to hang out with! Like fellow Palians 
Just watch the Addams Family; perfect household dynamics.
Shocking discovery that you can actually be happy and like your partner
#FakeNews
Most who've wanted to hang out with me in recent years end up disappearing or have such different schedules never can line up time.
Adulting do be like that, I still have the same friends since middleschool, only difference is that now we meet up like 3 times a year instead of 3 times a week
I just want to hang out with Reth
Well... to be fair we still argue constantly.
The major difference between now and when we were first married is that now we argue long enough to realize what we are actually argueing about
Wait, you argue before you know why?
you're saying i can be happy?
fake news
No, you're wrong. What are we talking about?
my grandmother argues with everyone
ESPECIALLY if she is very clearly wrong and has no idea what shes talking about
About how wrong you were compared to me
Oh, well that I agree with
Depends on the arguement. Sometimes we're argueing about something that's important but in reality we're actually arguing about something else that is also important so we're actually arguing about two different things but unless we realize that we don't quite get the problem solved so in reality we end up in a worse arguement later because the problem(s) were never fixed/resolved/whatever
I don't think we should be talking about arguments in here. We should be agreeable and nice. So here's a quick topic change: Badruu is better than Tish in every way.
Why argue when you can discuss opinions in an open minded and non-hostile matter!? Such as Badruu is overrated 
Because both of us tend to be angry people, so when there's a problem we argue. Though it is open minded.
let’s go, time for your meds
The extent of me being upset with Jules ends at: "I'm not happy about this" xD
Can’t even hold that statement for the sake of a bit. Badruu seems like a pretty solid gent. I’m pretty content with all the characters we’ve seen!
I want a character who is clearly just a trashfire walking around, ruining lives.
Could be a relative of Zeki or something, come to the village for help only to cause Zeki problems too.
Reth does seem like a heartbreaker
is all bc Trish is a therapist as a second job and so she makes money out of it
is all just 1 big scheme they made
oooh me me
He would only break my heart if he was unromance-able like Einar.
no, me 
false, i am chaosr
but you don’t ruin people’s lives
i and my army of rickrolls do
2 years before trees mature .. usually. It depends how old the sapling was when it was noticed
Darn it .. I go away and chat gets busy .. you just don't want me spoiling your fun by switching chat back to Palia do you ? 
What's Palia?
That game you yabber on about ocassionally elsewhere 😛
I want to put a garden on top of my house, and use a ladder to get to it
Sounds like a suggestion topic to me 🙂
I would upvote that suggestion!
hmm and no one has suggested a roof garden or garden on the roof suggestion yet
I never really thought of that to be honest
looks like a fantasy seahorse
so I was watching an episode of Um, Actually and they said the Hippocampus was a fictional creature, I immdietly was in shock bc I knew that it is just the Seahorse's scientific name, then I googled "Hippocampus fictional creature" and I found among many pictures, that one
The hippocampus, huh
Hippos go to university ?
The whole creature is a brain part
That was my other thought 
a brain part, a scientific name, and a fictional creature, awesome
I absolutely have a seahorse in my brain
Why are you talking about hippos ?
It started off here - #💬│palia-discussions message Needing a fantasy creature in Palia 
alpha previous?
@light kelp Alpha Previous ? what do you mean ?
GUESS WHO'S BACK BOIS.
@remote latch hello! Sorry for not responding, my discord was on full mute mode
yaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy Chair

ayooo wassup
I was getting mighty worried 🙂 .. but hows your new job ?
hella good. I get paid more, I have real impact on the product we are testing. Lots and lots of work but I can work from home, sleep during my break etc. Life's good now.
excellent 🙂 hope you get to do all that good stuff for a long time yet 🙂
so, Xrystal, anything major happend? I probably missed a lot of stuff, right?
A team answer update or 3 and a few images .. I don't think you missed anything too major
Except me, of course
oh yes, you missed Berry 
Missed you too bud, glad to have you back
yeah it was getting crazy. I had convention goin' on, some problems with my family... Glad to be back.
oh Chair, check game-announcements .. if you weren't here for the alpha blog

That's lovely! 🥰



🚫🎁🦆☝️
that is so cute, glad to see emotes evolving too
I thought Berry was gonna post it so waited for a while 
It’s YOU, ducky! YOUUU!!!
You know me, I do things but hide from credit
That anniversary emote group was created by Berry for the Palia Discord anniversary 🙂
God, it's been a year already?
I can’t hide from credit if you give me credit, that’s not how this works
but you didn't gloat about it .. so all good 🙂
13 months on Sunday
...AND GOING STRONG!
I was gonna say “me? Gloat? Never” but I’d be lying
oh no I can feel the chaos coming out

Ducky, you should go to YouTube, and listen to “never gonna hit those notes” - you can thank me later
NO WHY DID YOU REMIND ME ABOUT THIS XD
It’s later, you can thank me now

If I remember rightly, it was mentioned on the trivia night .. oh yeah, you missed trivia night .. there's some links to the trivia questions in #📢│palia-news I think Chair
Links 

So many good emojis to use in the BBQ & Picnic collage this week.
Nope it was in #📢│community-news - #📢│community-news message
hahahahaha of course one of the rick rollers are doubting my links :hmph:
The trivia had “berry” in it and the amount of pings I got about it
I click no links.
sensible move .. 🙂
Nah.. Xrystal is good lol
She isn't in the rickroll war
you just mystically arrive at the right location ? 
I browse through the web with the power of my wooden mind
a she? Pardon amigo?
Excuse you, it’s amango
ah, and apparently chairs can't read
Y'all hoomans, and a chair.. the chair.
Xrystal has transcended beyond, the alpha and omega, the wiki and omniscient deity, but also, yeah
1:36 AM, it is about time to go lay down, pretend that I'm sleeping for 30 to 40 minutes before I will actually be sleeping.
Cya everyone!
also...
@ocean stone do we know?
don't you dare throw these unreal curses at me.
I'm sorry, Chairlord
Does anyone know how you find out if you've been selected for the current pre-alpha
No invites yet for the next playtest. If you're asking if you received an invite before, you may check your email for a welcome message from Palia.
Also, pre-alpha finished last year. We are currently in Alpha, with 1 test down and more expected this year. If you signed up before February/March this year, it's worth checking for an email from welcome@palia.com. Some people have found the emails after the last test was finished.
ill check it out to make sure. i was looking at last years post🤦 lol
Just a reminder - please only use this channel for Palia related topics. 
Random thought but
Palia hippopotamus
Pippo?? 😏
That... is terrifyingly easy to picture actually.
, Oh wait, I thought you meant Chuu hippos.
that is exactly what I pictured
as I’ve said before, to me every animal in Palia is just a variant of a chapaa

It's friday here,halfway through the day so hype 
Happy Friday!
Welcome back Chair 

Chairs back Perin

Good day palians be sure to use sun cream. I'm in agony right now.

no I won’t 
Well, seeing as you usually sleep in the dark during the suns awake time .. that's not a problem for you 
yk since I grew in a tropical island and right next to a beach I never used to put on sunscreen for nothing, not even for vacations yk
it’s been abt 6 years since I lived there now i’m in Texas, last year I went back there for vacations and I refused to put in sunscreen, thinking I would’ve been totally good and nothing would happen to me
I left that place with Grade 2 burns on my shoulders
I mean I'm ussualy white like Chalk but yesterday was couple hours on beach. I'm back in my home town now but I was living right next to Sea. It was sort of goodbye you can say.
Naturally beige coming through
@everyone account was hacked do not click link i have since changed my password
Unless they also steal your phone
lmao me
i burn within minutes, it's no fun
Bravo bravo
We just got back from Rockport and we all ended up getting burned from little spots we missed or thought we covered in block.

Ever Dream 🇭 ?
ever had it when you then can have all you for have it all for you~

Apparently
sometimes isn't always.
That's why we will are.
Sometimes, I Ponder 🇭 For Hours.
But... Never An Answer.


the answer cannot be questioned.
Is 🥛 still around? I think they were the one to spark some Palia convos. Or maybe it was someone else.
idk lmao
milk
Milky?
ohhh
But when is Palia?
I think Milky is on a different timezone
!release
A new Palian appears! We have not yet shared the details of Palia's release, but we have lots to share with you in the meantime. Be sure to check out #official-art, #team-answers, and other areas of Discord to learn more. :heart:

Palia should answer!
Palia: The Game of 🇭
I'm hoping to get into another round of testing in the future. I just picked up a 3070 yesterday after refreshing Best Buy daily since March 2021. I'm going to run this on ULTRA!
Those Chapaas are going to look GOOD.
I think once you're in then you get to participate in further tests?
I could be wrong ofc
I'd love that to be the case, but I not taking it for granted. I still remember the open beta of WoW, so I'm hoping they do a big one like so lots can join.
That's fair
I’d be surprised if Palia didn’t get an open beta near release, but we’re still in Alpha so it could be a while! I’m hoping plenty more people get into the next round- gotta be sure to send everyone interested to the website (plus Palia.com is just pretty to look at)

I'm hoping the clothing shop is reasonable. I like that rogue outfit on the website. Trying to figure out what I think a good price is for an outfit. $1-5?
At one point I really mulled over the topic but Idr my opinions. I think it depends on how epic the outfit is though!
I mean I think I'd be fine paying $5 for an outfit. Maybe they'll do like packs/sets for like $25
Ooo I’d love to see it: as they push out new designs have the old ones go on sale or something!
Sorta like the Sims maybe, have some "expansion packs" of outfits
Suggestions for the cash shop might be considered.. so make those suggestions, you just never know 🙂
Besides how Palia handles seasons I’m also interested on how the final form of their micro transactions will be like! Certainly something they’ll put a lot of thought into.
I mean if they do coats as well as shorts, naturally they’ll have to make a summer/winter sale, cause who in their right mind would buy virtual reality summer clothes.. in winter
tank tops all year babyyyyyy
We can’t all be Vikings! 
I mean, implementing seasons is in their best interest so that they can generate more money making winter clothes!
Though marketing a cash shop summer/winter sale would be a great way to get people who were on the fence about buying those items to just go for it~
I mean from a psychology standpoint, sales do generate more revenue than original pricing, sooooo
CARBOYO!
Ana!
PERUN! THE GOD OF THUNDER!
Also not true, I'll explain in a second
Chair!
ayyyyyyyy how you been man?

Chair is gonna make me click a link and give them my authentication code 
I thought that was Arco

what'd i do now?
You made a whole new persona with your suspicious link activity
I'm gonna need your mother's maiden name for security reasons
I'm countries where women change their names when they get married yeah
It's just a remnant, it's evolved a bit beyond that but, it's in some places still an option
I have a child now???
I said persona not person
I have a psychological manifestation of a child?

Arco.. Persona is a video game..
Synonym is Identity
ohhh, do I have the rights to it now?
Pffft
time to invest more on Not Bob
there, all my money on the Bobntchain, Cryton'tbob and the Bobn't's Beard NFT

apparently elon is projected to become the first trillionaire soon which is kinda wild
I'd go up to $15 for special outfits and $10 for job/profession/skill outfits $20 for special cosmetics if not $15
What about pets?
and tool cosmetics
OH WAIT...better idea
instead of $20 you can mark it down to $18 that way people can save in-game store money for something later and they pay $20 for a whole skin
like the pack for in-game currency could be just a bit more than the skin is but also give you more for later purchases
What's a "job/profession/skill outfits"
are we talking purely cosmetic right?
ye
okok
I don't see why they should have a price different from other "standard" outfits
Hm yeah they can just be the same if they are given the same amount of quality
in my opinion anyway
The outfits so far look nice regardless. Even the simplest of outfits like a hiker outfit merit such detail and light reflections
They definitely could manage
not based, arco
elon is based man
oooofffff why u gotta do my man like that
Mounts would be neat too
That'd be super cool...dude I want a large fluffy chappaagon (chappaa dragon)
i wanna ride a dolphin
I still remember hearing horse hooves in the city in the trailer, so unless it was included for no other purpose but the ambiance sounds, it makes me think we'll see some
Riding my horse downtown while evading the marauding chapaas on the way to raid Reth's kitchen
Maybe hunt some chapaas from horseback!
Shhhhhh
Not so loud you'll trigger the chapaa fans 👀
I think of the song oof
HUH
I heard elden ring did mounts well, but never played that game
There will be no hunting of the chapaas
I also heard they left undies in their game for hackers to find and exploit to get innocent players banned
meh
is just a goat that jumps a lot, it isnt very new thing
Speaking of 🐐 , I hope we get to have farm animals with the gardening. If it's not already implemented, maybe it's a roadmap idea to keep things fresh for year 2 or 3
Yes! We need chickens to deal with the slugs and stuff, angry goats to protect our gardens from interlopers
They have hinted at animal husbandry/taming as being something being the talk of the office
I'm not sure if that is technically true - there are long-term plans for looooots of things; so many that we'll have to listen to ya'll to figure out where to focus. I think I can state that animal taming and/or husbandry is a common topic for us at the studio. 🙂```
So, fingers crossed. 🤞
I thought there was something about it, thanks for the find.
the body of a chicken and a literal chapaa head
I call it a Chipaa
I guess they can't just give you everything at once
😎
Animal husbandry would open up more cooking stuff too. Can't wait!
They did say in one of the more recent team answers that there likely will be more skills/activities added later on down the line:
#❓│old-team-answers-alpha message
Looking forward to the addition of tailoring with the help of Jel and Naguma's tinkering skills and Tamala's potion knowledge
Oh ya, I did notice clothing wasn't in the 8 skills. Tailoring would be awesome and perfect!
I doubt tailoring will ever be a thing, given how their only source of income, is cosmetics
that makes sense
There is that.
hmm
While it'd definitely be a real profession, it's a little like shooting yourself in the foot to allow people to make their own things, when you rely on the same things to survive
🤔
I knew a woman named Taylor
Taylor is one of my ancestral names 
Are you a pop star too?
They've said there will be stuff you can get in game too though so we will need ways to get outfits that aren't from the store
If they ever would implement tailoring, it'd probably have basic stuff, like the lower skill level items in WoW. Maybe the good and fancy stuff will be on the shop
Oh yeah, I know, just meant from the monetization blog it did state that paid cosmetics will vastly outnumber the non paid ones, so as a skill Tailoring isn't "expandable" unless you do other kind of tailoring than clothes I guess
carpets/rugs
Maybe the separation of in game acquired / purchased cosmetics ( clothing ) will include craftable items 
Yeah, but wouldn't that be furniture?
Furniture is usually woodwork though
Yeah but a whole new skill, just for rugs? is my point
yea is true
We just don't know 
And seeing we are on the subject. For anyone who missed the monetisation discussion - here is the start of the transcript
#💬│palia-discussions message
that sounds very awesome I'd love to be able to buy patterns or colors you can't acquire in game. So long as it doesn't break my bank to buy one tiny unlockable x v x
I hope to have a hooded cloak
I thought they said in their recent newstrip that they already have like carpentor (furniture maker) and a tailor for launch..
as well as farming, fisherman, miner?
I'ma look at that again but first I must do my laundry
This is the link to the latest skill response : #❓│old-team-answers-alpha message
ty
too soon to say, since it will be expanded upon... holy crap 8 full skills at launch... and counting. That's remarkable
Ya, I'm interested to see what other idea they have for skills once it launches with the 8
I mean, those are some big ones. I'll have to ponder on what some new ones could be
I've got too many ideas bout what could be next after launch so I should keep my mouth shut
Nah, let's here a couple! Tailoring seemed good at first, but I'm not so sure with the monetization of clothing. Trying to think of other good ones
Maybe some type of blacksmithing to use some of the mining material?
We've seen bows, so maybe blacksmithing can make some fancy ones

Link to January 22 post : #💬│palia-discussions message
Tinkering could fit nicely
I'd love...alchemy...so much ;3;
Dude are there gonna be schools or academies??? I wanna go "w"
No idea if it is something we will get to do. It just mentions Jina going there on her info card
Hopefully they have some sort of system in place that enables them to add new skills/activities with little difficulty.
Dude if tailoring is a thing...I wouldn't mind buying patterns/textures/colors ...special ones... it could be great later iunno
Ya, that is one way they could make it happen. Basic stuff available to craft as to not hinder the store. And then they could sell tailor patterns for us to collect ingredients to make
O30 and dude like doesn't even have to be a purchasable with real money thing we can just buy them from an in-game free money store we earn
that way it doesn't make tailoring pay to "win"
oof we could...we could make our own patterns O~O
Sorry sorry I'm foaming at the mouth
haha, don't worry, I've been there 🙂 you should have seen me during the early months when I spouted theories left front and center 
;v; good lord
The only issue is how much to give away and how much to put in the shop, since they want to have the store be a big source of their profit. I'm sure lots would like to buy patterns with in-game money, but the devs will have to decide how much effort to put into "free" tailoring/outfits and the money store
The good ole theory days were the best days 
Yes yes
There's still the creative idea days just as good ;3;
Ye I’m still up for theory crafting. A lot of us have already been brought into the fold for testing so our imaginations aren’t able to go as wild as they used to! It’s great to see new people gushing good ideas though~
I find making exiting theories is good but can also set expectations to high
As long as people understand that not every idea is going to be a thing, it’s all good fun.
I think they said that there will ultimately be more cash shop items than in game items ( of the same calibre ). But you would still be able to see who used real cash or worked at it.
So, for example: If they were to add dyes as a cash shop item and in game acquisition/crafting element ( thinking of something they haven't mentioned at all )
You could maybe loot/find basic dyes - craft intermediate dyes and purchase expert dyes with in any game cash earned in game and purchase master dyes from the cash shop for real money.
So, someone with a red outfit may have found a red dye, someone with an orange dye may have crafted it, someone with a purple dye may have purchased it in game, and someone with gold dye may have purchased it with real money.
Yeah and like they said, there's always room for new updates and interesting ideas COULD happen. Might not but could. We shall accept whatever comes our way but I'm sure ex-blizzard/riot employees won't let us down
Just remember, if something really interesting comes to mind that you think would be feasible and beneficial to the game, add it to the suggestions channel.
Ye >:)
Whenever my theories got out of hand I would add an extra post starting with .. seriously though .... or .. ooh idea time 
xD
I know we’ve seen gardening but I really want word on livestock
give me bees and chickens pls
Yeah that must definitely be high on their player request list .. so 🤞
I thought you said chicken pies lol
Are you hungry by chance Spooky ?
Am certainly down for chicken pot pies
do we know if the game will run on linux too?
for now, only PC

That is all.
guys im trapped in Palian't
its opposite of Palia you see
its a place where i work for money and dont get to decide my own futu- oh my bad thats just irl 😂 😂
best physics engine, sound and everything top, multitude of archetypes to choose from but overall pretty much pay2win with pvp enabled. >_>
actually rdr2 looks better
But real horsies are still rendered better. I know, it's a close call. 😄
The only real reason I'd like to play rdr2 is the horse riding tbh.
I'd love to have similar experiences in Palia some day.
what do you mean only pc? PC = personal computer. Linux is an Operating System like Windows and MacOS
right, Should’ve specified Windows
Ok Thanks
this harvestella game lookin kinda sick too
Yeeeeah
JRPG UI is what makes me back away from it
Sorry I was busy designing the schematics for a 3 layered crazy shape in my factory game 
Make a Klein bottle!
unfortunately that isn't a choice .. just randomly generated shapes made up of circle, square, diamond and rhombus ( circle, rectangle, star, windmill to them ) with a mixture of 7 colours 
Imagine the dude from History Channel that says 'Aliens'. But instead of saying that he says 'Shapes' instead.
that means that you would if you could 
probably .. 
The first person to make a Klein bottle, isn't a person
I stand corrected .. I don't think I'd ever make the klein bottle
- had to look up what was special about it 
when I look at a Klein bottle I both completely understand how it works and have no idea how it works
I want a Klein bottle plushie
that would require the plushie to be hollow tho
Well get to work figuring it out!
All plushies are hollow 👀
you two are the ones that make heavy complex machines in shapez 
they are filled with things tho
So can a klein bottle be, it just pours out but doesn't and moves from the inside to outside without passing through the inside or outside
It's simple really
stop trying to make it work
I see a bunch of Klein bottle knit hats in my searches, does that make the head of the person wearing it hallow?
Fill it with ice
yea this is accurate
DEJA VU
Exactly what came to my mind seeing Deja vu
Hope all my fellow statesmen have a good holiday weekend!
I hope Palia has some sort of summer fireworks festival. I love that vibe 
By the time Palia comes out all the teenagers will be adults 😄
Hello all
this is actually true 💀
Guess i'll be a corpse than.
Hi everyone 😄
🦴 your first bone Kusiga!
Adults aren't real, there's only children pretending to be adults
That's actually true as well.. because age is just a number, right?
Well yeah but also because you'll never feel like an adult, it's always the people a decade ahead of you that are the adults. Once you get there, you don't think so anymore
Oh, I thought you were going to say once you get there you realize you're 102 and dying soon
I mean blink and it's over basically 🤷
i've heard that, but i've blinked 1 million times and i'm still here
by the time I'm 30 I'll be 70
I've never blinked
eyes burn
help
hi i'm trying to get my gf into gaming and she thought Palia was so cute, i agree. Hope game release isn't too far away!
It's a fair time away but if you have a PC ( Windows most likely ) make sure you have signed up for testing on the website ( palia.com ). You can also read up on some info there in a more colourful setting. But most of the information is here .
ok, thanks!
Feel free to ask questions if you can't find it in the channels. Best channels for info outside of what is on the site itself is #❓│old-team-answers-alpha and #❔│game-faqs and visuals in #🌠│official-art
got it! is there any particular way to get involved with the game project besides signing up for testing as I just did?
be here 
We have a #game-suggestions channel that they allow us to offer suggestions for the game. Some they may find useful additions to the game at some point or help them spawn an idea that they can add to the game. They may throw out the odd survey etc that will help them, such as the recent nice words request to help their moderating ( for want of a better word ) system in the game identify nice responses etc.
Other than that, we just chat around, if you're of an artistic nature we have #🎨│old-palia-fan-art for Palia inspired art and #🎨│artistry for other art. And a bunch of other channels the community visits for chatting.
And like Arco said, hang around, or pop in when you want to say hi and catch up on anything you may have missed.
Yeah hang out here, its the best place :)
Sometimes the devs stop by to chat, sometimes amelia and asherelle will pop in with some tidbits etc.
Otherwise, what xrystal said
Awesome thanks for that :) looking forward to interacting
Also you can write sad songs about how much you love Einar. Not that I would do that, of course, never. Just saying somebody could possibly do that if they wanted to and nobody should judge them.
Do you miss Einar DadJoke ? Still ?
reads names hmm theres a name or two missing from that list 
Forever and always
It was a summary! Wall-E is on the list too
Sample list!
Johnny 5
Xrystalbot2k22
Ah good, you cannot forget WalllllllEEEEEE
oh yes and Johnny 5 is alive 

Careful not to have too many or we'll need a temple tributing the Ash's
Call it Ash Mahal
Hi Ash
It's late, and that means everyone gets a circle of bologna. ✨

Is it official that this game will be released in 2022?
no, its likely a couple years out still
theres no launch date yet but playtests (alpha/beta)s in 2022 yes
!release
Welcome to the official Palia Discord! The release date has not yet been announced, but we have plenty to share about the game right here in the meantime.

Oh my
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH NANA!
Happy timezones everyone!
Anyone else hear this in lion king? 
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
BAAAAAAAAAAH SWAITNYAAAAAA BEBALEEEEBALOOOO or whatever the lyrics are
KinKin!
No no...
BAAHHHHHHHH BAH NA NA.. BREEAAD IS THE MOST.. DEL-ISH-I-OUS.. 🍌 🍞

When you come oh bring me a banana~
Aaaahahahahaha i was thinking the opening
Daaarf!

When everybody is talking about bananas but you only have strawberries 
I bet a lemon and honey jam would be epic
I don't know why I can only imagine it would be sweet and sour
And that feels weird to imagine
I promise it'd work, we have similar things here already
Lemon and honey go really well together yeah
Came back from a near panic attack
I need some wholesome chaos rn
Specifically anything chapaa related if possible
here, hug a chapaa, it makes everything better 
hopefully this one will cheer you up a bit as well
Chaotic good
Hi, I just got DMed by a spambot from this server. I was gonna report it through mod mail but the bot is broken. Is there anyone on who I can DM about it?
So I tested out our Modmail and it seems to be working fine now 😄 If ever you guys need help with how to send messages through the ModMail, heres a little tutorial: Simply send a DM to the Modmail and react the "✅ " after typing in the message you want to send us 😄 and that should set your ticket up nice and smooth 😄
Alsooo! its safe to verify the Modmail first so the Modmail functions normally 😄 (Thanks Arco for pointing this out too :D)
*gives a cookie
that’s just America then
hi Chair! hope your head gets better soon 
here it's just getting hotter 
Yesterday it was almost 40 degrees celcius (104 F) here
maybe it's not the hottest place on earth, BUT SURE AS HELL WE AIN'T USED TO THAT
but on the bright side I have this game called Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator. I basically put thousands of AI units and watch them fight with each other. Can also posses unit or order them around. It's fun to watch
This might as well be the hottest place on earth as far as I'm concerned
I can type
yeah, same here. Mostly just staying inside by this point. It was around 38 c here today
I think US can hit up to 50 degrees C* sometimes?
Nightmare land
We had a mild 32
HA! we have 33 rn, you lost
Greetings
Hello
We're on a comfortable 22c-25c range this week. Keeps threatening to rain but never quite makes it. Poor plants.
Ooh... Woo?
I actually watered them earlier tonight but can't water too much in case the threatened rain comes
So it's a constant check on the potted plants
Just wondering. Has palia announced when they would be able to release the game fully yet?
Nope not yet. We're still in alpha. They will likely give us plenty of notice before the game is ready for release. But as a guide line Amelia said 4-5 test phases before it would likely be ready for everyone, before the alpha test 1 started.
No problem at all! 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!" ```
As Arco. said 4-5=-1
Palia has already been released 
(if there is any newcomers it s a joke Palia is still in alpha
)
i said that?
Yes.
;3;
I mean technically I'm a newcomer
you can try sayin I don't exist but I haunt your dreams, you know it
when do you stop being a newcomer?
Not sure
When the Mandela effect takes over and you think you’ve always been here
I love me some Mandela effect reading
People will go to great lengths to not admit they misremembered 
Even so, memory is frail, most of your childhood memories aren’t yours, they’re just stories you’ve been told that you perceive as memories
I have barely any memories I can easily recall past 2017 tbh
Wanna trade?
And ask me what I did last Thursday? 🤷♂️
What did you do last Thursday?
I don't know
👀
got it, like how I think Not Bob has always been here
two days ago is my limit
actually, idk what I did yesterday
🧑🚀 🔫
you were never a newcomer, you always were part of the Palia Family! 
Here it's 28-32 C
But the humidity makes it feel worse
Oh wait that was a while ago nvm
fr Ana get up with the new breezes
that’s youngling for Keep up with the conversation
That's definitely a youngling phrase lol
Pesky youths
I tried my hardest to say smth that sounded young, I actually think I failed 
I’m sure youngling phrases don’t have more than 5 syllabus
More like you went so far young that generation hasn't been born yet
Non existence:When old and young become one
i been havin the mandela effect every day since 3 years ago
its weird
anyway I might sleep for the night
ciao everyone!
pokes head in and waves
Still no word on when people can try it?

whys the question channel locked?
it's only open for a limited amount of time after we get the #❓│old-team-answers-alpha each month
I don't remember the exact post, but pets are part of the plan if I remember correctly
will they be able to do stuff other than look adorable? like fight or pick up loot? XD
we don't know that yet 
here's the answer about pets so far: #❓│old-team-answers-alpha message
yay
ngl i dont mind pets being mainly cosmetic like in ff14 but i like it more when they can fight by my side or pick up stuff. in lost ark they help pick up the loot XD
Yeah they do that in diablo too. Super handy little feature
Aaaa morning
Pets picking up loot would be amazing. Also a pet inventory like Lost Ark or Albion. A large pet like a donkey should be able to carry lots of heavy stuff. A cat mostly for the cutes.
i love it when my pet can join me in battle
Your vampire powers mind controlled pet?! I know your secrets!! 
#❓│old-team-answers-alpha message
you may want to check this out, Combat isn’t a main feature of Palia
ai already knew that

Maybe except competitive pumpkin carving or something
Is there any other kind?!
Of pumpkin carving? Idk maybe there's an ASMR version too?
I bet any money that there is an asmr video of a guinea pig eating a pumpkin on YT
No doubt
Wait they are going to have ASMR in Palia?
I guess I can stand near you and whisper in my Scottish tones if you like
Hi there !
happy timezones! Just finished watching F1 race, what a show, me and my roommates were screaming at the TV :D
noice
I'll hold you to that promise @coarse garnet
is this game ever coming ?
I've been waiting for years too you're not the only one 😄
i was scrolling my discord group and remembered about it

🍪🍪 Cookies for everyone patiently waiting and I hope we all get to play together soon! 🍪🍪
Apparently this game will be Free to play
I need to go back in. Me and @deep frigate have a matter to attend.
idm paying i just want something cool like this. genshin impact got mega boring.
Yus
this game looks like it would work well with oculus quest 2
would it?
it is
xDDD
VR btw, i forgot to answer lol
Have you considered not waiting?
It's gonna be like another two years anyway most likely
Just enjoy the fun until then

i guess that works
Storming really loud outside, thought it was fireworks at first.
don't forget that there has only been 2 tests (pre-alpha, alpha 1) so far with 2 invite waves each. So, technically you have only missed 4 email invites ( if you had signed up pre July ) and 2 if you signed up pre February. But, the agonising wait for the invite waves themselves and the hope of an invite I do understand 🙂 .. So, as I always do when you post, 🤞 good luck with the next tests invites.
BUT MY HOPE WILL NEVER DIE
We're getting there buddy, slowly. It takes a lot of courage to embrace the Great Wait.
Is there a first map?
map? :O
World or Region-maps 😄
For the game, right?
Yes 😄
There's no map that we can see yet. All under NDA and stuff
Ah okay 🙂 Thanks for the Answer ♥
there is a map on the trailer if you can spot it 
But may not be a true depiction of an in game map. What we do have is a fly over of the first village we meet the npcs we have been introduced to. And a few screenshots to give you an idea of what may be where ( with some maps we've created while theorising in #🎨│old-palia-fan-art ). But, yep as per already said. Nothing officially given to us regarding a map. And seeing as exploration is one of the main elements to the game, it might not be an informative map. Maybe the basic landscape once it has been completed, with the rest up to you to discover during gameplay I suspect.
I love when maps open gradually rather than being fully visible. Gives you incentive to really explore.
I, as a shameless Open World fan, like when you have to go to a certain point (aka, AC towers) and activate them for the map to be visible

I've been looking at the housing stuff for a bit and this might be the game I have been waiting for, I have been obsessing about housing in games since I was like 7 and this is genuinely really exciting. Whether it's a pre release test or the final release I am counting down the days :3
you made sure to sign in for Alpha right??
What do you mean? I wasn't in the alpha test if that's what you mean
in palia.com you can sign in to be in the list of people that may get an invite for future alpha 
😮
we just finished alpha 1 abt a month ago, and there may/will be more alphas later this year
remember, signing up does not guarantees that you will be invited, it is completely random who will be sent an invite
I've now signed up! It would be so cool to get into the alpha! I would love to push the housing system to it's limits!!
🤞 Aye let's hope so!!
till then, hang around and have fun with the community
My main interest abt the game also is Housing btw 
Yeah I definitely will be sticking around, hopefully I get lucky!
Did you get to make anything cool? If you have pics I would love to see!

us Alpha testers can't share any info more than if we liked it or not
Oh! So sorry!
buuuuut
check this out
https://palia.com/news/adventures-in-alpha-exploring-every-corner
if you scroll down you can find some housing
there is some very wild things in it
I have looked at that post a lot! Some really cute house designs in that post!
I can say
I LOVED IT
probably more than any other game ever before
and that is all I can tell y'all 

I don't want to push you to say more than you can but I am so excited to play a game where housing seems to be one of the bigger focuses. It's nice to see a game that respects your prefered endgame
Blip
Bleep
BLOOOOP
boop?
Also what are people's opinions of Anime Auni in Comunity-art?
Ooh
