[stoic axle]

they said they plan on making it for consoles as soon as possible

[feral arch]

Perfect! Appreciate it! Sorry, had to go do some work.

[buoyant apex]

they already said that they want to push it out to every platform as fast as possible... read #❔│game-faqs

[honest marten]

we can romance NPC = marriage?
can we marriage between player?

[devout axle]

check the pinned document

[undone otter]

Doesn't change what I said tho

[feral arch]

They've said not at this time.

[stoic axle]

im not really asking about cross play more asking about will you be able to link your account on different platforms. Lots of other games dont let you use the same account on pc and mobile.

[undone otter]

We don't know yet and won't for a while until they actually start to properly look into porting it to other devices

[azure kelp]

is there any way to increase my chances of getting into the pre-alpha other than the sign up and survey?

[halcyon vapor]

I don't think so

[honest marten]

" Currently no player to player romance" ah..

[mint heath]

Doesn't mean you can't do it

[honest marten]

yeah add later..

[wide rune]

is there going to be pets and mounts?

[left yarrow]

Currently no, maybe check discord often for updates/events on that

[heavy iron]

The npcs are gonna have a looooot of relationships

[left yarrow]

"We see these categories as "Fast Travel" and "Pets". Both are in the roadmap in some form"

[real crag]

What is a Chuu and can I hug it?

[wary folio]

Is co-op building confirmed?

[devout axle]

yet, did not pick your allegiance

[craggy gulch]

Are there going to be seasonal competitions like from Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons?

[real crag]

Because I don't know what it is lol

[undone otter]

Check #❔│game-faqs

[feral arch]

...Man the automod is REALLY sensitive about words lol. "Floofs" then. 😦

[fading reef]

Hey, will there be any specific reward for reaching a high skill level? (Like skillcapes in Runescape)

[gleaming halo]

Over 1000 options for outfitting your dwelling. Will they share the same aesthetic shown in the trailer or will different styles be available? Ie: Steampunk, gothic, elvish?

[left yarrow]

It was such a good answer too, I was wondering why its gone

[willow hamlet]

Yes please. I love skill capes

[wary folio]

Do we have a date for Pre-Alpha release?

[turbid crystal]

Hi friends 😄 not sure if someone might have asked already, but I was curious what character naming requirements are. Like min-max amount of characters in the name, one name or a first/last, etc

[mighty mica]

-raises hand- went to take the survey and it didn't actually open X'D

[honest marten]

please make the game world looks appealing so i can appreciate the landscape and have fun exploring without auto run feature like mobile game

[feral arch]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/829113775876735026/850235645297033236/uo5AF3t.gif

[devout axle]

not yet

[wary folio]

God Tier Answer

[left yarrow]

gothic was kinda confirmed. Elfs are the next class so I'm guessing elvish is also possible. Steampunk, maybe? (we got robots so I guess)

[gleaming halo]

Thanks @left yarrow

[honest marten]

we need werewolf skin.. fishing at the lake alone

[dark pewter]

dont worry vlad, im here now, just gotta catch up lol

[real crag]

Will there be instanced dungeon-esc content like in WoW? (but on a much more casual basis)

[wary folio]

Last question do we know how many people they are going to be letting into the Pre-Alpha?

[feral arch]

It has issues on mobile. Try a desktop. And double check your popup blocker isn't active.

[devout axle]

we know it is a limited amount that will be signing an NDA

[left yarrow]

"There will be group adventures, maybe dungeon like, but we won't have huge raids that require lots of prep and grinding beforehand"

[real crag]

Nice

[wary folio]

Was it ever confirmed if there would be an open player market system (For like veggies you grow/fish you catch) ?

Like, can I make my own market and have people buy/sell to me if my prices are good

[mighty mica]

Will do as soon as I get home o7

[feral arch]

"Unique usernames? Probably not. Will likely do the USERNAME#1234 or similar"

[wary folio]

in a physical location in game (or digital in game)

[honest marten]

-PSlayerxXX-

[wary folio]

I'm down for this. People who buy and sell "OG Names" Are fakkin horrible.

[turbid crystal]

I like OG names I don’t want numbers in my char name

[left yarrow]

discord/gw2 naming is indeed the way to go.

[wary folio]

You'll most likely have a Display name and an identifier name

[feral arch]

Same, wasn't the biggest fan of that answer but I suppose we'll see. It might just be a userID that comes after your name or something.

[hushed violet]

This 100%

[turbid crystal]

ooo ok as long as the numbers aren’t visible lol

[wary folio]

Yeah. I used to be in the OG scene for minecraft and it was flipping god awful. horrible people

[wary folio]

alright thanks

[turbid crystal]

I never bought/sold I just liked to spend hours finding a username that wasn’t taken 🥲

[left yarrow]

I think is more like how discord handles things but I'm not sure about it. Just me speculating on the way he worded that sentance

[devout axle]

I am on the fence with this one, fantasy games, should have logins that have discord style accounts, but in game I would go for "vanity" name without numbers in it

[honest marten]

display name : Crackmeister
identifier name : that idiot fisherman

[real crag]

Will gathering professions such as mining and herbalism/foraging be mini-game based or go around and find the thing and just pick it up like in WoW?

[hard ravine]

Can I have my bedroom inside my kitchen in Palia?

[wary folio]

nah an identifier name would be like "bobdole#123123"
but displayname you would just put "bobdole" or whatever you wanted to put

[wary folio]

I also want to do this

[left yarrow]

I don't think you will ever see the number and you will only use it when you add someone to your friend list/party. If you played GW2 you probably seen it

I think that works really nice

[feral arch]

I'm kind of torn on it, "Roan" isn't exactly a common name but it's still taken most of the time. I've gone by Ralis and Valimure as well, depending on the game... Usually at least one is open.

[dark pewter]

not a lot of detail is given on specific mechanics of skills other than fishing, where the most we are given is 'itll be more than cast and RNG'

[wary folio]

They most likely wouldn't put #numbers all over your screen in game, I'm 85% sure of this 🙂

[sand scaffold]

GW2 handles the naming convention very well and it's frustrating how seldom it's adopted. If Palia has something akin to that, it'd be appreciated.

[wary folio]

What's GW2? Sorry I'm OOTL

[sand scaffold]

Guild Wars 2.

[turbid crystal]

not even joking I refused to play gw2 bc I thought the numbers were visible 🥲

[dark pewter]

i love guild wars 2

[wary folio]

Ohhh. Thanks Care 🙂

[honest marten]

guys get your nickname as rarest item code.
when you spawn you will got that item

[real crag]

Personally I loved the gathering professions in the old Free Realms mmo because it was all mini-game based with occasional 'rich' nodes you find out in the wild that also trigger a minigame.
I would LOVE to see a game with similar systems.

[left yarrow]

oh no no. xD Its a great casual friendly game, 100% try it haha

[strong jacinth]

Does this game has a Progression system?

[honest marten]

Enchanted royal vibranium fishing rod

[sand scaffold]

Something of an ancient in the MMO scene. Really good if you want something slower, but still combat-oriented.

[feral arch]

There are skills to level up and an unfolding story that progresses.

[wary folio]

I know there's no release date but is there a rough estimated or expected time/eta? like next year or this year?

[left yarrow]

"Even though we're trying to avoid the typical grind of MMOs, you'll have lots of bars to fill up and levels to grind, yes"

[dark pewter]

theres a tool quality tier system too

[strong jacinth]

Thanks for the answer

[honest marten]

well when you lift that axe.. you are fighting that tree until it HP down to zero

[sand scaffold]

When avoiding grind, I hear it's avoiding the "murder hobo" aesthetic, which I can appreciate.

[wary folio]

Guys don't worry, the devs said that pineapples will indeed probably be apart of the game. All our problems are solved

[unkempt dragon]

How good is customization going to be? Is it going to be preset houses or r u able to build like a loft or whatever. Like how similar to sims 4

[delicate ore]

so im assuming the player character has a voice, ive read that the character creation options will be available to any character. if there is a voice will all voice types be available to all characters aswell?

[feral arch]

"Release ? It could be month, it might be months. The other two no way (referring to quarters and years)"

[bronze pine]

i do think that part of any MMO should have a bit of grinding. that is one of the main forms of progess after all

[mortal rapids]

Hi I see things are still popping

[copper tundra]

Yeah the video quickly showed a name over the 3 friends and there were no numbers there.

[versed maple]

read the faq, but you will have the ability to pretty much full customization of your room layout, item placement, etc

[turbid crystal]

I’m also kind of curious what the skill system will be like. Like can we go RuneScape mode and level every kind of skill we want, or will our character be limited to whatever “profession” we want (ie how WoW only lets you pick a couple)

[wary folio]

Thanks bae. I appreciate it.

[frail lake]

i wonder if it'll be subscription based

[dark pewter]

houses are pieces that can be moved and rotated to create your own floorplan, customization is extensive in player cosmetics and furniture

[honest marten]

better pay to play than pay to win

[wary folio]

Yeah I saw that too. though I wass afraid I misread or mistook it for others ahahaha

[versed maple]

that quote is for the ALPHA. not the full release

[sand scaffold]

Will houses be instanced?

[neat delta]

if you want to put a bed in your kitchen, we will definitively not stop you! 😄

[dark pewter]

they are not discussing it publicly currently

[wary folio]

sad teims.

[unreal gyro]

@neat delta this game has dungeons right?

[hard ravine]

Thank you!

[neat delta]

Yes houses will be instanced as of right now

[turbid crystal]

But the real customization question: can we build/remove walls in house?

[sand scaffold]

Then I'm already sold on the game.

[devout axle]

the only way I survive a weekend

[turbid crystal]

I want open floor plan loft uwu

[wary folio]

Serious question, but will there be a hazard system of some sort in place? Like possibilities of your house burning down? (Probably not, but I'm curious aha)

[versed maple]

will all houses be in the exact same plot? will I be able to choose my plot to be on a mountain or smth?

[unreal gyro]

i wanna build a tree house

[frail lake]

what does instanced mean.. sorry lol!

[wary folio]

So if you're in a neighborhood, that kind of suggests that your houses can be together in one instance. Will it work that way?

[feral arch]

Fair I just assume everyone is asking about alpha at this point when they say release lol.

[dry torrent]

Can you say more about what that means? Like "port to a magical house in the sky" or physically in the world, but instanced upon entry?

[azure kelp]

can other players grief your house?

[wary folio]

I am curious of this.

[neat delta]

We might but the core of our game would not revolve around combat, so this would be approached in a cozy and friendly manner

[tired comet]

how much money will the game cost?

[onyx sun]

Do you have weather systems?

[wary folio]

I LOVE YOUUU, MAKE THE GAME A REALITYY

[wary folio]

price is unknown

[dark pewter]

not discussed publicly at this time

[delicate ore]

will all voice types be available for all character models? just thinking of the inclusive aspect of it

[unreal gyro]

all the animals in this game are cute so i aint tryna fight them

[neat delta]

Yes, you should be able to design the layout of your home as you please!

[feral arch]

Ack chat moved too fast quoted the wrong post LOL

[sand scaffold]

It means it exists in a separate/private "instance" for you or your friends. FFXIv, as much as I love it, does not do this, so I get war flashbacks when we talk about houses.

[finite scarab]

please, for the love of everything that matters, could you ask EmbrasAshes to change her nickname? My OCD triggers, because she is the only one not having a whitespace after [S6] tag. Im serious 🥲

[wary folio]

I have never simped so much in my life, please, you can do it

[honest marten]

can we tame wild animal?

[neat delta]

Not that I am aware!! That would be a bit scary though haha

[unreal gyro]

mounts 😮

[versed maple]

will all houses be in the exact same plot? will I be able to choose my plot to be on a mountain or smth?

[knotty cypress]

Anything in regards to how the combat may be, in the case there is one eventually

[wary folio]

😮

[tired comet]

is there any pvp stuff?

[sharp ridge]

the inside being instanced? the outside people will still be able to see? and will going into your house then require a loading screen?

[dark pewter]

FAQ on land/housing (check out the doc pinned in this channel)

[wary folio]

no pvp

[wary folio]

lmao. Understandable. Maybe if there's ever a hardcore mode years down the line someone could opt in for, could be a decent idea. Thanks for the answer 😄

[unreal gyro]

if this game aint got mounts i will go insane please just add them to show off or go around with them

[wary folio]

i read about it

[turbid crystal]

Oh this is awesome ty imma go check it out

[dark pewter]

pvp is not in, but could be at a later time in small ways

[devout axle]

please check the pinned document and #❔│game-faqs you will probably find answers there

[wary folio]

I LOVEYOUU DEV TEAAM

[unreal gyro]

so I can gather stuff in the dungeons in pre alpha?

[sand scaffold]

While I understand PvP is not a thing, will there be sorts of contests/competitions a la "Chair Building Contest" Why is that the first thing that came to mind--?

[fading reef]

will there be any specific reward for reaching a high skill level? (Like skillcapes in Runescape)

[neat delta]

Both outside and inside are instanced, but your friends can easily access your home if you wish for them to come over. There's no loading screen 🙂

[calm mulch]

Have you guys taken any inspiration from a game like, let's say, Free Realms? Excited to see what Palia becomes.

[ripe seal]

Will we be able to climb like in Zelda Breath of the Wild ?

[left yarrow]

@neat delta Can you give more details on how naming policy works. All we currently have is "Will likely do the USERNAME#1234 or similar" is that similar to discord? or just the normal we can use letter and numbers?

[thin mulch]

Have you already decided how you will decorate your house? What aesthetic are you going for? 😁

[wary folio]

Is there a limit to how many members can be in a neighborhood?

[dark pewter]

theyve said its a more curated world, there is exploration and they want to avoid invisible walls, they want enviroment traversal to be fun

[wary folio]

It would be nice, because people could have theyr beloved names and not worry about the name being taken

[dire pond]

does the game have seasons?

[tiny scroll]

My Devs, I hope y'all are not feeling too overwhelmed. I am so happy you are getting all this wonderful support, but I also hope you don't take it as too much pressure to get the game finished fast or whatnot. Take your time and have fun with it, we have plenty patience 😄

[wary folio]

I LOVE YOU DEVELOPERSSSS

[dire gorge]

will palia be like point and click like wow?

[neat delta]

I am actually unsure of this, as of now our only requirement is that in-game names be appropriate/non profane

[versed maple]

wow is point and click?...

[sharp ridge]

the most important question with regards to buildings is can we enter all of them? specifically the village/npc buildings. nothing is more disappointing then going into a town and finding out you can only enter like 3 of the 50 buildings.

[sand scaffold]

I never played, but I assumed it moved like FFXIV-

[wary folio]

Can you please consider making it like discord, so multiple people can have a name they like

[dark pewter]

wait since when is WoW point and click?

[plucky relic]

will you be able to have a pet?

[dark pewter]

yes! :D

[dire gorge]

na but like you know what i mean where u use the pointer

[raw oasis]

As far as Neighborhoods and housing go, does that mean that members of the same Neighborhood will have their houses bunched together? Or is it just a cute naming choice for guilds?

[versed maple]

every game uses the mouse. but you can still move with WASD in WoW

[left yarrow]

If there is any way we can get more details on that would be great, its the most common question we don't have an answer yet ^^

[ripe seal]

Having both a firstname and a lastname is good at avoiding "name is taken" issues.

[wary folio]

"Our neighborhood is going to hunt dragons, wil you come along"🤣

greedy question: Will there be a limited item for day of release players? (or week of release players) like a special cosmetic shirt/hat/ring/etc?

[dark pewter]

think of neighborhoods as 'guildhalls' is what we were told, so i believe that would be the case

[tame sentinel]

Will there be like some kind of dungeon content ?

[sand scaffold]

So I hear that humans will be the only playable race. I'm fine with that, but more curious if this is to relieve stress in modeling or?

[feral arch]

Careful, you're just ASKING me to make characters with punny drag names.

[neat delta]

As of right now, all our buildings can be entered! But be understanding that NPC might close the door of their home at certain times of the day (for sleeping!)

[dark pewter]

dungeons are planned

[dire gorge]

yh ik but i meant like where u tag enimies and stuff using the pointer and interact

[granite canopy]

what selling platform will be this on (steam, epic games, etc) or will it have its own launcher?

[left yarrow]

They already working on elfs, not sure about anything else

[hard ravine]

Ah yes, good one

[devout axle]

not decided yet

[wary folio]

You better add them, im taking that as a promise

[sand scaffold]

Ah! Thought it would be exclusive to humans. Thank you.

[wary folio]

1AM at night:

Player: ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF, NPC.

[dark pewter]

they arent sure at this time (imo im thinking epic and steam at a minimum but thats not confirmed)

[sharp ridge]

I have the potatoes you asked for. Oh sorry didn't notice you were in the shower. Anyways can I have my quest reward?

[sand scaffold]

We agreed on potatoes being delivered. I will deliver them, but when I damn well please.

[finite scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/horny-jail-bonk-dog-hit-head-stop-being-horny-gif-17298755

[turbid crystal]

oki read thru the Google doc, saw “Villagers have lives to live as well, so you'll see them all around the world”. Now I’m curious, do npcs have their own romance storylines? Will I get to compete with an npc for their npc lover

[tame sentinel]

@dark pewter will there be like a gear system similar to wow ?

[ripe seal]

@feral arch You do what you want. Pun in names are fun.

[frank moth]

This is making me wonder if we'll have complex relationships with NPCs, and if they'll gossip about our behavior.

[little ledge]

you said... romance npcs?

[wary folio]

Imagine getting turned down by an NPC that wants to date another NPC.

[turbid crystal]

Wouldn’t be the first time

[sharp ridge]

maybe it was part of the romance mechanic... they needed potatoes asap

[wary folio]

thats just life

[feral arch]

You just have to woo them like you woo every NPC in games: drown them in gifts.

[wary folio]

It's okay m8 I'll be your sidekick next time you look in game.

[sand scaffold]

They ask you for potatoes to impress an NPC you were planning on courting later.

[safe forge]

How fast does time actually pass in palia compared to RL? For instance 1 hr Rl= ? ingame time

[mental umbra]

Imagine your npc partner cheating on the player with another npc

[wary folio]

"I brought you your 5th pineapple today, so how bout that date?"

[finite scarab]

thats when combat takes place

[dark pewter]

the only info we were given is that theres a lot of cosmetics, tools are tier quality, and each tier will replace the previous so youre not going to have 3 different pick axes of various quality. nothing has ben said about actual armour, if its even a thing

[idle elk]

deliver potatoes to me and ill make u a potatoe pie in return

[sharp ridge]

you asked another player for potatoes!? omg I want a divorce!!!!

[sleek tendon]

Will there be more posts on the possible romance options on Twitter like you did with Einar today? Looking forward to seeing the NPCs 🥰

[turbid crystal]

This is the content I want. I want messy romance storylines

[mental umbra]

Honor duels for their affection

[dark pewter]

yes i was also wondering about length of time cycle in game!

[wary folio]

if my npc partner cheats on me with another player I'm taking my market and moving to the other side of town and charging the other player 200% increase for their purchases.

[raw oasis]

We can't romance Einar :(

[unreal gyro]

I wanna have the best wifu and make her into the women i will never get in life

[feral arch]

Same, I'm really curious if Palia will have its own festivals and events or if they will exclusively mirror real world ones.

[mental umbra]

The Npc takes your house and kids, leaving you back at lvl1

[strange kayak]

@lethal geode @regal pumice do y’all have a insta yet? I know there’s a Twitter of course.

[dark pewter]

so seasons? time cycle length? weather?

[wary folio]

LOL

[sleek tendon]

Awww I know! I was just wondering about the other characters - the Einar Twitter post was an example ☺️

[neat delta]

Currently 1 IRL hour is 1 in-game day. This might change 🙂

[strange kayak]

What!? Hahaha

[safe forge]

cool thanks

[fleet crag]

will the players have access to magic classes?

[idle elk]

@neat delta will there be pies in the game?

[earnest arch]

Can we romance multiple characters?

[hard ravine]

omg

[misty cove]

can I assume that time just constantly passes and we dont have to sleep? we could just stay up all night doing stuff

[mental umbra]

Harem route

[wary folio]

Ohhh sorry! I right clicked to reply on the wrong message! But I'm curious for this too 🙂

[high dagger]

Hi !! new fan here, quick question: will we be able to customize our gear/clothes too? at some point? (color/combinations/designs)

[wary folio]

Hey harem protagonist go away

[dark pewter]

there are no classes and 'magic' is not a skill

'but there is something magical about palia'

[wraith ferry]

harem is bad

[feral arch]

Is there a dynamic weather system that affects gameplay in any way?

[raw oasis]

asking the important questions I see 😄

[ashen flicker]

is the plan for neighborhoods to just be associations, or could we see player-designed and built cities?

[unreal gyro]

can we date the golems

[tiny scroll]

How big of a plot/home can we make?

[sharp ridge]

can I make ungodly creations like cabbage pie?

[wary folio]

Its like the italian maffia

[earnest arch]

Harem is bad, polyamory/consensual nonmonogamy is good

[neat delta]

Yes but just like in real life, some people might be upset if they find out 😆

[sand scaffold]

Will there be thematic furniture and the like at later dates? Think macabre/halloween, pink/valentines, blue and white/fisherman, etc.

[mental umbra]

Ok all jokes aside, can we have a romance system for other players?

[wary folio]

As horrid as this sounds, I hope for a penalty system for if the PLAYER cheats on their romanced character with another character. Not sure what kind of penalty, though. slowness in businesses for them for 2 days? idk.

[sharp ridge]

That's easy, just romance in different villages.

[neat delta]

Yes character expression is very important to us!

[hard ravine]

Quick, someone needs to ask something not romance related, now

[wary folio]

This one right here officer!!

[earnest arch]

Might some not? Will there be actual, non-cheating, polyamorous options, is what I'm asking?

[dark pewter]

einar is gunna get jealoussss

[neat delta]

That is the plan!

[wary folio]

reputation down if you're caught cheating on your partner in game? pls? 😄

[devout axle]

@neat delta the real question, why Embras has no space in the nickname?

[sand scaffold]

Great! Thank you for answering.

[wary folio]

reputation system? :DDDD

[unreal gyro]

thank god i hate wearing the same gear as everyone I wanna design it myself

[sharp ridge]

Will there be the opportunity for player created designs like in animal crossing?

[strange kayak]

@neat delta do you peeps have an insta yet?!?!

[feral arch]

Global server announcement to shame the player.

[thin thicket]

Its been mentioned so many times now I image they are including it

[mint heath]

I'd probably see if I can make myself emo like or just dress in very very dark clothes

[wary folio]

PHAHAHAHHAA

[wary folio]

What if I copy your gear and follow you around? jk jk I wouldn't i promise

"john was caught cheating"

[wary folio]

I'm down for this.

I just want to wear a red suit and live in a spooky mansion.

[wary folio]

I LOVE YOUU

[earnest arch]

You can just walk up to other players and start flirting, you don't need a system. 🙂

[unreal gyro]

❤️

[strange kayak]

THANK YOU

[wary folio]

YOU CAN DO IT, this is the first game i simp forrr

[pure plover]

Will the game be available in other languages, like french for example, or only in english ? :)

[wary folio]

This is so specific it scares me.

[sand scaffold]

I am someone with a plan.

[frank moth]

Will we be able to make our own dyes and paint?

[mental umbra]

yeah yeah, but a system that is interactive for both players sounds nice

[wary folio]

Why you hiding in mansions with red suits?

Hes a villain

[sand scaffold]

This suit used to be white.

[mint heath]

Vampire?

[wary folio]

:xd:

PJAHAHAHA

[dark pewter]

i dont think its necessary, as two players can decide for themselves without a system, like in stardew valley

[turbid crystal]

will there be rare materials in game? Like a special ore that spawns randomly around the world at x intervals (think like a world boss) to make top tier furniture or something idk

[wispy inlet]

why there is no pvp? 😦

[reef crystal]

@neat delta if there's the option to build houses or build upon plots of land, is there enough land for, say, tens of thousands of players? Are we looking at a procedurally generated world (similar to No Man's Sky), or will there be a layered system where hundreds of people can have their own plot of land, but you're only in one instance at a time (based on party, or other exclusive group feature) (like WoW's Warlords of Draenor garrisons?)

Apologies if I've asked the wrong guy!

[dark pewter]

all skills have rare items

[wary folio]

Oh make it so that this rare ore spawns like in a ccavern you have to explore to find

[hard ravine]

Considering games with a very distinct artstyle are very inspiring and content creators are flooding Internet with things of their own, is there a plan to maybe introduce or arbitrate potential in-game customizations community made?

[dark pewter]

pvp is not currently their focus, its not that kind of game. however there is a chance it can be added in the future in smaller ways

[lime glacier]

because not every game ever made needs it

[devout axle]

give a look over at the pinned doc

[wary folio]

Part of me is hoping for a bribing system or maybe a haggling system for markets

[ripe seal]

Server announcing gossip

Have you heard about John ? He has been caught cheating.

I've heard that Sarah went to Bob's house and her husband is furious.

[devout axle]

xo xo gossip gi...server

[unreal gyro]

can I tp raid someones house if I caught them cheating

[flat moat]

is there combat in this game?

[wary folio]

YES DO IT

[cunning smelt]

Can I just fish?

[sand scaffold]

Will there be any form of administrative control in instanced housing and the like? Say, changing weather and time of day?

[wary folio]

Make like a bulletin board for cheating players

[forest kayak]

Sorry if it's been asked already since it's hard to keep up with the flow of this channel. Will resource "nodes" be competitive (i.e., visible amongst all players and depleted upon anyone using it) or personal (multiple players can mine the same node)?

[mental umbra]

will we have a system for painting or a system for importing images as pictures or/and paintings?

[unreal gyro]

I wanna be the elder of my village

[dark pewter]

pve combat, yes, theres a lot. pvp combat is not currently but may in the future as a smaller thing

[lime glacier]

only 'hunting' has been confirmed, they are talking about adding more

[neat delta]

This might be something we will look into, but I can currently say our maps will not be procedurally generated. We want the art of the game to feel very handcrafted

[dark pewter]

this could get very difficult to moderate :/

[wary folio]

I got a question I don't think anyone has asked but would be highly asked if people remembered

[mental umbra]

true

[reef crystal]

Ta! 😄

[plain garnet]

Will homes have multipul stories and can they get a little funky like wayside school funky? Where an upper floor can be bigger than a below floor?

[wary folio]

Will there be playable in game musical instruments ? Like trumpets and pianos that we can obtain and play?

[sand scaffold]

No spamming megalovania or I'm banning from my house.

[wary folio]

this

[dark pewter]

if you play stairway to heaven im personally banning you from palia

[wary folio]

this comment officer

[sharp ridge]

have you considered allowing for houses in more unique areas like underwater, in caves or floating in the sky?

[wary folio]

christmas carols here I come. instantly banned 😦

[unreal gyro]

can we add mini games in our house like animal jam

[turbid crystal]

can I be a beekeeper I’m gonna keep asking till I can

[wary folio]

who's down to go caroling with me

[mental umbra]

Cosplay as the trumpet kid from that meme

[wary folio]

yo if I help you with items can I get some free honey from you?

[dark pewter]

ok but how many pebbles can we give to einar?

[thin thicket]

There was a community discussion yesterday about biomes and potential areas in lots of places

[wary folio]

I want this now.

[turbid crystal]

I will trade honey for music if you play for the bees so they stay happy

[hard iris]

Anything's possible. That's not like a "secret yes" or anything; we're just really open to making the things you want. One struggle is that with latency with audio over the internet it's kind of a difficult problem if you're looking to jam with friends or anything.

[signal finch]

Hopefully so many

[wary folio]

I'll do it. 🙂

[honest marten]

so what my contribution as player to the world?

did it has market system or something?

[hard ravine]

Fire and blood... no wait

[dark pewter]

psst @left yarrow add the instrument answer to music section on doc

[safe forge]

can i just get a plot close enough to a body of water where i just step outside and just fish all day.. like i do in all these kinds of games.

[sand scaffold]

Fire and war.

[sharp ridge]

was an answer given by a dev? personally underwater bases are my favorite.

[hard ravine]

Salad and tomatos

[wary folio]

Understandable. Ping will always be a rough thing to deal with. But happy to try anything out. I bought the Rust Musical instrument DLC and it had MIDI included if people wanted to try. Was really cool to use ahaha. But thanks for thinking about it ❤️

[limber minnow]

Quick question about tech specs:

I have a dual booted computer for window and linux, but I prefer to run everything on my linux OS if I can, I also saw that this game is made in UE4 which i know has linux support. So will I be able to run this game on Linux or only Windows?e

[plain garnet]

On release.. were going to have to have chu police to make cure people arent overhoarding the Chus

[left yarrow]

@dark pewter already adding all this ^^ i'm on it

[hard iris]

Not supporting Linux at least for the pre-alpha

[dark pewter]

only windows for now, linux support could come at a later time with consoles

[late acorn]

i would be super interested in playable musical instruments, even if the latency couldn’t be worked out!! honestly seeing the lute was one of the most exciting things in the trailer for me bc of the prospect of it being playable, so i’d absolutely love for it to be a feature

[sand scaffold]

It doesn't seem difficult to run on Wine, hopefully

[limber minnow]

Ok, thanks for the info!

[olive phoenix]

what if there was a jukebox that you could record/play your own music in your house that you had written so you and your friends could listen? 😄

[strange kayak]

Mac?

[limber minnow]

Very tempted to try that ngl, use wine or proton

[reef crystal]

Will Linux be considered for later releases?

[mental umbra]

So what about wine and other alcoholic drinks? can we get drunk?

[raw oasis]

Brings me back to the days of having jam sessions in Mabinogi.. good times

[wary folio]

Would be perfect for tavern..

[hard iris]

We'll consider any platform where there are people who want to play. Whether or not we do it and what the timeline would be is a completely different story.

[plain garnet]

My only issue withplayable instroments is how many people who will use Midis to play.. and theyre really obvious....

[mental umbra]

and if you could make it yourself, breweries

[sand scaffold]

The problem with porting, especially to Unix, is that it's no small feat for a very small population. I'd be happy with it being friendly to virtual machines.

[wary folio]

But the real question, how big can you make your butt in character customization

[dark pewter]

(wine is referring to a linux system) theyre shooting for an E rating, so most likely it would be named something else to kind of imply alcohol, but not quite say it. like the sims 4 does

[pure plover]

I think I read there are combats in this game (hard to keep up here), but are there like classes with abilities, etc. ? What kind of combat are we talking about ?

[mental umbra]

Asking the real questions now

[sand scaffold]

Vacation Drink in AC comes to mind.

[wary folio]

Mhmm we demand andwers

[raw oasis]

Vacation Juice 😂

[thin thicket]

No, sadly the devs can only release so much information so a lot of it at the moment is just community speculation.

The way to look at it realyl is since everyone seemed pretty into the idea I imagine the devs will be working on it, so far they've been brilliant at listening to the community

[honest marten]

is there gonna be photo mode?

[dark pewter]

combat atm is all pve, theres no classes, but there are various skills

[wary folio]

Wow nice idea

[wary folio]

like dragon monk?

[plain garnet]

I would enjpy a free camera mode for epic pictures.

[simple hollow]

I would like to see it on the Switch

[primal charm]

There is a feature to build a house, but can we build a shop/restaurant or something similar?

[lilac heron]

Could you agree to make a special effect to the most powerful weapons and armor? Something like that gives off a glow or aura while walking, like MU Online?

[dark pewter]

im not sure about dragon monk lol

[wary folio]

make me a dragon monk>:(

[simple hollow]

I second this suggestion

[pure plover]

Sounds great, can't wait for more details ! :)

[wary folio]

Switch Pro/Revision 2 release soon 😄

[orchid schooner]

Love this Idea!

[wary folio]

I've asked already to no avail. Probably private for now aha :3

[primal charm]

@simple hollow Just want to open a tavern dude.

[wary folio]

Wheres the answer about butts?

[dark pewter]

player 👏 owned 👏 shops 👏 please 👏

[wary folio]

Same. I wanna sell fish at a market.

[simple hollow]

Yes, player owned shops for the win

[idle elk]

i wanna sell pies

[primal charm]

@wary folio Let's make business.

[slim eagle]

What is a chapaa's favorite food?

[simple hollow]

https://tenor.com/view/pie-fatass-sweets-ineed-pie-give-me-gif-3551647

[wary folio]

I'll gather meats and fish. you grow the veggies

[raw oasis]

Player owned shops.. the dream.

[sharp ridge]

you mean a chus favorite food

[wary folio]

I hope we can make and sell cookies 😄

[upbeat echo]

I would like to know how many players will be there in pre-alpha? is it limited?

[calm vale]

If there's a way to do custom cooking (making our own meals with chosen ingredients) then I'm in

[mental umbra]

So about fishing, will it only be from piers or will we have boats and stuff?

[slim eagle]

it's dev chat, gotta use their internal lingo so they don't get confused. lol

[idle elk]

if its possilbe to sell pies or even make them ill give everyone a free pie 🙂

[wary folio]

FRESH COOKIES FOR SALE

[dark pewter]

theyre trying to get in as many people as they can, theres no hard limit thats been stated

[sharp ridge]

no, we need to force the name upon them until they accept it

[wary folio]

I wonder if the devs feel overloaded. Sorry dev baes for spammin questions ahaha

[hard ravine]

As a french man, I need baguette crafting.

[primal charm]

@wary folio Yeh, and for your meat/fish, you get a % of the price I sell them.

[mental umbra]

Was just thinking this

[wary folio]

Baguette smithing*

[sick lodge]

I hope with the cooking we actually have to get food out of are fridge lol

[fickle pivot]

Screenshotting this for later

[devout axle]

feel like this chat is merging with general as far as topic

[wary folio]

French baguettes can break a spine if used correctly, you need to smith that son of a b

[regal breach]

is there going to be an insane end game?

[wary folio]

Don't worry devs, do ya thang, you ofc got work and stuff to do, don't forget to rest up and breathe and eat snacks.

LOVE U DEVSS

[idle elk]

ill make a secret pie emPIEre

[dark pewter]

yes, please keep this as questions, suggestions can go in #game-suggestions all else can go to #💬│palia-discussions or #💬│off-topic-chat

[stray wraith]

Yeah, the thing with TechArt is that it's a very wide net that encompasses a lot of different specializations. Some tech artists are more shader specialists, or tools and pipeline, or tech systems, etc. While a tech artist generally specializes in one category we end up working on all these different aspects of the game. My main responsibilities are making the systems that allow the world to feel alive, that entails working on the shaders but also the script and code needed to control and support the feature I'm working on. I'm also responsible for the performances of the environment, I need to make sure that while it looks good and feels alive it needs to be able to run on our defined platforms. I hope that answers your question!

[wary folio]

Mr bacon himself, im so nervous

[simple hollow]

Can there/will there be a use for at least some room decorations beyond set dressing? At least have some be interactable somewhat

Like, placing recipe books in the bookshelves

[raw oasis]

:O Cooking on my kitchen stove, storing items in my dresser... yes please.

[unreal gyro]

Will our house only be 1 level or are we allowed to have more then 1 layer?

[dark pewter]

whats the tris count on einar, i need to know

for reasons...

[gilded prairie]

Im guessing a yes but just in case - day/night cycle and will growing plants be in real time (again guessing no but curious!)

[simple hollow]

Oh, and the ability to make your own paintings. Though that might need a reporting feature.

[honest marten]

we know what will happen

[crimson hare]

Will it come to Xbox I just want to ask?

[sharp bramble]

Do we know how big Guilds will be?

[honest marten]

butt picture

[unreal gyro]

[old lichen]

check out the 1:16 mark of the trailer 😉

[devout axle]

"We are starting on PC and adding more platforms from there. Where crossplay is possible we will push to support it."

[dark pewter]

as many consoles as there are people wanting it on those consoles are planned for the future, depends on their ability and time

[hearty pumice]

just curious, probably been beat to death at this point, but here we go lol. Are Humans the only playable race you plan to use?

[crimson hare]

Ok sounds good 👍

[dark pewter]

for now, theres elves in progress

[hearty pumice]

Niice!! Maybe Beastmen at some point?

[dusky stream]

Hello Devs, I am assuming this has been asked before, but I am a bit curious and am wondering how many years has this game been in development already? It's looking great! Keep up the good work!

[fickle wadi]

since 2018! says in #❔│game-faqs

[devout axle]

Currently Human and working on Elf

check the pinned doc has a lot of answers

[smoky karma]

yea pinned doc is a real good idea. love having everything in one space to read through.

[river elm]

I'm hoping that we will be able to name our playable characters the name we want to give them, i've always been a person that enjoys giving fitting names for my OCs, never liked having my name as the sole thing others see.

Like in ESO. Where people can see My Character's name and then my Username. (though i dont quite like others being able to see my username.)

[static owl]

I saw a chessboard in the tavern part of the trailer. What minigames will be included and can they be played with/against friends?

[honest marten]

no freedom

[dark pewter]

thats not appropriate

[idle elk]

@old lichen ill give u an extra pie 😉

[signal finch]

Please keep chat SFW.

[fickle pivot]

uhhhh

[unreal gyro]

why

[honest marten]

well just to inform. mod can delete it

[elfin verge]

This may have been asked a few times already and it may not have any proper answer yet, but do you know when the pre alpha should start ?

[devout axle]

pretty sure rules of the server are SFW only

[unreal gyro]

just why

[stray wraith]

While I can't get in the specifics of poly counts I can tell you Einar fits nicely in our performance budgets. We take special care of our npc's to look as good as possible while still remaining efficient.

[honest marten]

well atleast you guys get it

[idle elk]

i love you devs ❤️

[elfin verge]

nvm saw in the faq

[dark pewter]

einar is a beefy dad <3

[honest marten]

dont give freedom with painting

[signal finch]

Einar best bot

[static owl]

Can the lute be played?

[dark pewter]

'Anything's possible. That's not like a "secret yes" or anything; we're just really open to making the things you want. One struggle is that with latency with audio over the internet it's kind of a difficult problem if you're looking to jam with friends or anything.'

[signal finch]

They haven't said a hard yes on instruments yet, but it's not discounted! Stay tuned!

[river elm]

I think people wouldn't mind if they gave players the ability to /lute /flute /drum like in ESO, maybe not actual playable instruments due to latency and stuff like that. But at least have emotes where we play instruments!

[honest marten]

can we have snow fight? if it has monthly season

that gonna be good. maybe an event

[dark pewter]

as im sure there will be many references in game to other things and easter eggs, will these be difficult to find, or a hiding in plain sight kind of deal?

[supple cosmos]

Not sure whether this has been asked or not but will there be some sort of player driver economy?

[peak fox]

Hello there! This might be the game that I will be addicted to with friends! Is there a release date

[dark pewter]

no release date currently

[dusky stream]

How many Alphas/Betas will there be before the release? This can be a tricky question but you probably have given it some thought.

[peak fox]

sooo saad

[honest marten]

as much as they needed

[signal finch]

They've definitely said there will be "some sort of economy"!

[peak fox]

I want to buy this game now! teehee

[lucid otter]

This question might have been asked before, or even might not be answerable at this time, but will there be a skill tree or something like that in the game?

[limber minnow]

Important question:
Are pet companions planned?

[dark pewter]

pets are in the roadmap!

[supple cosmos]

Awesome, thanks 🙂

[devout axle]

"Mounts&Pets: We see these categories as "Fast Travel" and "Pets". Both are in the roadmap in some form"

[dark pewter]

not a lot of details will be given, but there are leveled skills. whether its branched or linear is unknown

[static owl]

Can I craft my own clothes? Will they sparkle if High Quality?

[left yarrow]

Not sure about skill trees but they probably gonna have many skills : "Even though we're trying to avoid the typical grind of MMOs, you'll have lots of bars to fill up and levels to grind, yes"

[feral arch]

Do we know what the game's camera situation is yet? Just picturing (no pun intended) eventual VR for this game and how gorgeous it would be. 👀

[limber minnow]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing that!

[lucid otter]

👍

[dark pewter]

im not sure how VR would work in a 3rd person game

[woeful flower]

Hi there, sorry if this has been asked before, but are there multiple playable races in Palia or just strictly humans? Thank you in advance!

[signal finch]

I saw something from Wizardcrab earlier that said "Years and years into the future" or some such.

[dark pewter]

humans for now, elves are WIP

[devout axle]

Humans and Elf in the works, pls check the pinned doc

[pastel blaze]

That does answer my question, I truly appreciate it, thank you!

[feral arch]

There are games that let you edit the camera view, so I can have hope for the future lol.

[mental umbra]

What is the situation on the launcher the game will be on, will it be a original one or will it be on others?

[devout axle]

not decided yet

[dark pewter]

maybe toggle 1st person view, thatd be interesting

[honest marten]

how with anti cheat? dont be valorant AC V2

someone will tried to dupe item.. i bet it was me.. need more fishing rod

[left yarrow]

I doubt it requires that level of anti cheat. Only thing they need to worry about is duping and that can be dealt with server checks

[honest marten]

well maybe dev room

[feral arch]

From our limited understanding of the type of game Palia is shaping up to be, it doesn't seem like there would be a whole lot of use in botting / money farming for this type of game. But I suppose we'll see with time.

[manic cypress]

Are there any weapons or combat in the game?

[honest marten]

and take their coffee

[feral arch]

Then again... I tend to have more faith in humanity than is generally warranted lol

[idle elk]

will there be community made groups in the discord server sometime?

[dusk ferry]

It will for sure see similar levels of cheating like runescape and world of warcraft, automated bots doing all the grind for you
but then again, it's not something too worry about too much and for sure no need to have that level of anti cheat

[left yarrow]

Yes there will be combat but we are not sure on what scale. This is related to your question: "We won't have dedicated roles, or roles themed around combat. Hence trying to avoid the traditional RPG vibes"

[wary folio]

School wrote another letter to my parents saying they want me to drop out, OwO panic attack

[dusky stream]

Mining, Woodcutting, Fishing, Farming, what other professions are planned?

[cinder sentinel]

it's possible to filter the dev's answer here?

[high lance]

hunting, so some sort of combat

[feral arch]

Check the pinned FAQ from Vlad, they are all Dev answers.

[rough talon]

I think voicechat would be great for a game like this. Is it known already if there will be vc in the game?

[wary folio]

Jesus like rust, hell nah

[sick pagoda]

Bugcatching

[wary folio]

Someone is just screaming and everyone can hear them outside theyr home....

[crimson hare]

Will I be able to fish up a shark or a big fish when I go fishing?

[wary folio]

WHALE HUNTING

[rough talon]

Whale hunting would actually be amazing xD

[left yarrow]

the only way to do it is search in the top right box with "from: enter username here" but if you want a compilation like Roan said, check the pins for the google doc. It shouldn't miss anything

[unreal gyro]

just let me tame one of those deers and make them a mount is all i ask for

[fresh pewter]

How much is there in terms of cac customisation?

[honest marten]

is there gonna be alchemy?

maybe for pve

[cinder sentinel]

thanks for making the file

[wary folio]

Like co-op on a ship trying to catch a whale, doesnt have to be a whale maybe a fantasy fish 2x bigger than a whale

[severe plinth]

@unreal gyro

[wary folio]

TAKE MY MONEY if you do it

[unreal gyro]

can not wait for the part 2 @severe plinth

[brazen summit]

Do the devs plan on moving the project to Unreal Engine 5?? with lumen it would be neat

[rough talon]

Imagine them making a raid-like thing out of it, 20-40 people on boats together to catch this fish

[feral arch]

I'm actually wondering how much water exploration, if any, there will be. Some games let you at least swim on the surface but other games just kill you if you fall in water 😛

[crimson hare]

That would be crazy fun

[honest marten]

please dont use any energy like mobile game

[severe plinth]

Yesss

[feral arch]

"You won't be stopped cutting down trees by stamina or similar no. We had it, hated it, its gone from the game"

[honest marten]

stamina can replenish by eating

[wary folio]

Jesus no...ughh

[honest marten]

those energy replenish by hours

[wary folio]

I know Devs Probably hate us for the food incident but if anyone want's to check out our server just dm me :3

[rain canopy]

Make weed/farming management a bit more aggressive to promote social farming ❤️

[wary folio]

WAIT. IS THERE TREE CLIMBING?

[devout axle]

already mentioned, there will not be

[honest marten]

good

[feral arch]

They actually did say something yesterday about being able to help each other out; you can water your neighbor's crops and vice versa.

[wary folio]

guys pls. tree climbing?

I WANT TO BUILD A TREEHOUSE.

ROPE CLIMBING

aye pls. who wants to visit my treehouse?

MOUTAIN CLIMBING

[crimson hare]

The real question is how big are the trees going to be?

[carmine ember]

can you burn down all the trees?

[wary folio]

HUGE TREE, MONKEY CLIMB

[crimson hare]

Bruh

[wary folio]

plsn0. My treehouse 😦

I have only one question will there be deserts in the game fr tho i want to know this

[reef crystal]

Will there be the chance for player-made content (e.g. Skyrim mods that add custom armour, weapons, etc.)? If so, will there be a filtering system in the form of contests that are community-driven but developer-supervised, or will it be completely open? If not, will there be customisation within the game itself via the crafting system (limited to the artstyle)?

[carmine ember]

well i gotta live up to the Saruman way

[wary folio]

Go play a murerhobo simulator

[quartz ether]

I think someone wants to be an arsonist

[carmine ember]

i just want charcoal 😦

[bold lion]

Who should we contact for anything media related? Interviews and what not

[carmine ember]

is it possible to trigger an ent rebellion?

[dusk ferry]

Check on the website, there's links for press inquiries and content creators (palia.com)

[wary folio]

you don't need to burn them down for that

oh actually, will the game have admin level access for anticheat like other games? basically OS level anticheat detection? How much anticheat will there be?

[feral arch]

They've said no mod support at this time, but they might think about it down the line. There will be plenty of character customization and skins / costumes that have been hinted at though.

[carmine ember]

i havent played the game yet and i just wanna know how much of an ecological disaster you can cause

[wary folio]

please....wtf

Oh btw can i be a robot? Like in the trailer, it would be nice

[feral arch]

They're trying to cut down on the griefing lol but people have joked about pollution being the final boss before, soooo 🙂

[devout axle]

Einar is Einar

[carmine ember]

its hardly griefing if im using the wood for my everlasting biofuel industries?

is there electricity?

[unreal gyro]

wait we can glide ?

[wheat schooner]

О, русские : D

[dusk ferry]

the story is about humans, and for now that's only race

[dark pewter]

there was a glider ;)

[devout axle]

not out yet

[unreal gyro]

I WANNA GLIDE OFF THE HIGHEST POINT they have in pre alpha

[wary folio]

Ah yes russian language, we understand

[carmine ember]

can you turn your "neighbourhood" into a hivemind?

[wary folio]

K WTF MAN

[unreal gyro]

can I build my home inside a tree and make a tree house

[magic trench]

If you can somehow control other players I guess

[reef crystal]

https://tenor.com/view/the-outpost-the-outpost-series-the-outpost-tv-the-cw-fantasy-gif-19086518

[wary folio]

No HOA's allowed. I demand no hoa's

[dusk ferry]

It's a plot system, so no (or at least not yet)

[carmine ember]

that is the idea of a hivemind thank you

[wary folio]

I refuse to live in an HOA.

[carmine ember]

what is a HOA?

[wary folio]

Home Owners Association.

[signal finch]

Home owners association

[wary folio]

I'd genuinely rather have my house burn down than live in an HOA

Are there taxes?

[carmine ember]

omg can you set up capitalism?!

[devout axle]

and Death

[wary folio]

Jesus crist

I'd rather burning my own house down and get taxed for the burnt house than live in an HOA.

[runic notch]

This is not what I wanted to wake up to 😛

[magic trench]

Maybe if you join someone else's village

[dark pewter]

guys lets keep this to questions pls <3

[crimson hare]

You keep asking the big question huh

[devout axle]

we got this, have a Friday 😄

[wary folio]

I second the question. Housing taxes? 🤔

[carmine ember]

well honestly its a ROLEPLAYINGAME

[dark pewter]

we want channels to stay relevitvely on topic

[left yarrow]

Yay yestarday mvp is here ❤️ good morning ^^

[coral pilot]

The HOA in my neighborhood does nothing but send out notices warning people that they'll be fined if they don't mow their lawns

[dusk ferry]

@runic notch this is what happens when no dev is in the chat how was your sleep 😄 ?

[magic trench]

Can we set up communism is the real question

[signal finch]

I feel that. Hello again Busco, and I hope your morning has gone well otherwise!

[coral pilot]

That is a much better question

[runic notch]

Don't need an HOA for that, just a pesky villager NPC

[magic trench]

I'm starting to feel like I have the only working HOA guess that's the plus of postcomunisric countries

[signal finch]

Would that NPC be the crabby Mayor's Wife?

[carmine ember]

can i become the Tom Nook of Palia?

[quartz ember]

is it possible to tame animals?

[carmine ember]

what is the height limit for buildings?

[magic trench]

Can we alter the environment? I want a miners guild and dig down to the core of this planet

[tranquil summit]

I dont think You build your own house. Probably Pre-Designed housing.

[quartz ember]

i think you just design the inside

[devout axle]

answered in housing section of the pinned doc

[carmine ember]

so youre saying i cant make a huge tom nook that casts it gaze upon palia?

[magic trench]

I think it will be like Sims building

[dusk ferry]

Pre designed parts that you can rotate iirc

[crimson hare]

What is the lowest limit of building 🤔

[runic notch]

Something more like this. You make your own floorplan

[wary folio]

That is actually amazing

[wraith linden]

Hey S6 devs! Is your game gonna be featured in this years E3?

[subtle spire]

Is there any info on PC specs? I have a pretty low-end gaming pc

[dark pewter]

housing is pieces that you can rotate and move around to create your own floor plans. i think its extensive enough to where no two homes will be exactly the same layout

[raw oasis]

Is there any plan for second stories or basements/cellars?

[magic trench]

Not yet

[runic notch]

We might be working too hard on shipping the game to attend cons under weird covid restrictions, TBD

[dark pewter]

nothing specific, but they said they are running the game on very low end pcs in the office

[devout axle]

should not be demanding

[signal finch]

They've mentioned that it can be run pretty low!

[runic notch]

Could happen, nothing to share on it at this time

[signal finch]

Busco out here doing the gods' work.

[quartz ember]

can you buy items for the carriages on the side of the road?

[quick totem]

@runic notch Will there be oceans, islands, ships and sea travel?

[dusk ferry]

Busco statue to place in your garden when?

[sly sedge]

Does every player start with a plot of land/house (or the ability to pick one) or is it something you have to work towards?

[feral arch]

"Earning the right to your housing plot is between you and the villagers in the quest line"

[stoic knoll]

Hey @runic notch, What's your favorite food and can we cook it in-game?

[dark pewter]

plots and land are between the player and the quest lines

[runic notch]

If I get my way, yes! But the community helps prioritize new features as much as anyone. Fill out surveys when you get them!

[quartz ember]

To change your outfit /player do you need to use a wardrobe?

[low raven]

Pierogi. Pierogi would be a great addition

[wary folio]

should we get a confirmation email for the prealpha sign up?

[sharp ridge]

The desire to be a pirate is strong!

[runic notch]

No sorry, not yet.

[lethal comet]

Does Einar talk about oneness because he is called Einar or is it the other way around?

[dusk ferry]

Where there is fish there must be oceans and ships!

[dark pewter]

EIN

[raw oasis]

Will items in housing plots be interactable? IE. Using a stove to cook, storing items in wardrobes.

[quartz ember]

Will you be able to sail the waters??

[normal gorge]

Question on housing: I became a huge fan of housing in Wildstar and loved having "building blocks" to construct my own spaces and decor. Are there any plans to add building materials to allow players to create unique housing items?

[wanton pendant]

Are surveys the planned main method of interaction/feedback from the community?

[wary folio]

thanks mate, hoppe you got my email still, quite excited like everyone 😛

[static trench]

proper house building not just furnishing?

[quick totem]

I see. Thx for Your reply! So I read this as a no for now...

[runic notch]

No but they're what we have for now, we'll have other ways to reach out to you soon

[runic notch]

Yes!

[static owl]

As someone who plays Sea of Thieves this prospect of ocean exploration excites me 👍

[dark pewter]

not as in sims or minecraft, but pieces you can move and rotate to create your own floor plans

[tranquil summit]

Make a Poll/Voting system for future updates and content in-game to see what the community thinks about it. Something like Runescape did. That can be a really fast feedback from the ACTIVE community :))

[devout axle]

raft 😄

[feral arch]

There's been a few things here in chat that have basically been demanded with torches and pitchforks 😉 Bees and petting the doggos, for example.

[lapis patrol]

So I'm assuming that the personal housing plots are going to be instanced, yes?

[runic notch]

I'm in a slack thread about bees right now. The community was that loud about bees, okay?!

[devout axle]

correct, more in the pinned doc "housing" section

[lethal geode]

wait what why

[lapis patrol]

Thanks. 🙂

[runic notch]

Because Buzz Buzz my dude

[ancient cypress]

only one question! are there pets & mounts?

[sharp ridge]

Yes instanced, inside and out. No loading screens

[raw oasis]

We demand the Bees.

[proper wasp]

How long has the game been in development?

[subtle swan]

Are we gonna share the same world with other players or everyone would have its own small world which is based on invitation( i mean with our friends). Or are we gonna share the whole plot and build our houses where ever we want? ❤️

[dark pewter]

we need bees, its a necessity

[valid zephyr]

Will you be able to be a farmer, like grow crops and animals and such?

[lethal geode]

since 2018

[devout axle]

Pets & Mounts in the roadmap

[feral arch]

yep

[craggy mango]

Is it heavily pve or pvp or is it balanced?

[feral arch]

No PvP to start out with, but possible for the future.

[sharp ridge]

Heavily social

[ancient cypress]

@devout axle is there a link for game roadmap?

[static owl]

Do tools break like in Animal Crossing New Horizons? I hated that.

[quartz ember]

For housing i am guessing it is like a leveling system where you start of small and get materials to level it up to be bigger?

[crimson hare]

Ok what if you pet the dog and it does a flip or something cute

[devout axle]

no this is from dev answers here, there is a pinned document with them

[desert cosmos]

Is the alpha live right now?

[signal finch]

There is no released roadmap at this time

[remote glade]

Trailer is with game graphics? I loved it, hope it looks like this

[royal rune]

Reposting this because I am so curious to know!

Is there plans for player-created-content in-game? I'm always excited to hear about ways that the players can create cosmetic assets/artwork for games and would be totally delighted to hear if there was consideration to such an unorthodox feature. <:^)

[dark pewter]

tool durability is being kept a secret on whether its there or not

[feral arch]

Yep! It uses the in-game engine.

[wary folio]

Will you be able to make cheese? It's important to me

[craggy mango]

I already love this community

[runic notch]

Then it is important to me too. We'll look into cheese making.

[signal finch]

Bless

[quartz ember]

due to there being a fridge i am guessing food can spoil?

[normal gorge]

We'll need wine to go with that cheese.....

[devout axle]

thinking of type of plant that would be important for me to grow...

[solar laurel]

and butter 😎

[dark pewter]

im not sure theres that kind of system, thatd be annoying

[static owl]

Will there be an outdoor grill for barbeque and grilling said cheese?

[quick totem]

So is this really an open world massive multiplayer game or just some game with limited multiplayer in instanced shards/neighbourhoods?

[devout fox]

and baguettes

[quartz ember]

how will the cooking system work

[wary folio]

baguette smithing

[dark pewter]

grilling cheese? what?

[runic notch]

Aiming for a sweet spot, let us know how we did when the Alpha drops

[dark pewter]

details are being kept a secret

[crimson hare]

Just go crazy with food in the game I want to be able to make pizza

[amber falcon]

@dark pewter You've never heard of grilled cheese?

[devout axle]

btw, and that will be when, you said? 😄

[quartz ember]

can you play instruments or is that only for display?

[novel token]

Livestock? I asked in suggestions and High Priestess mentioned there's not a thing for them yet.

[tranquil summit]

Grow some Leaves that make you smile and hungry? 🥬

[dark pewter]

yes but its not literally grilled T.T

[magic trench]

its done when its done

[valid zephyr]

Bard class?

[dark pewter]

unless youre alton brown...

[feral arch]

Clears throat SOON soon™️

[quartz ember]

i see

[signal finch]

Instruments are currently something they're thinking about, but not implemented. There's a lot of logistics to think about!

[quick totem]

Will do. Thanks for Your reply!

[runic notch]

quite

[dark pewter]

Music instruments in game? Anything's possible. That's not like a "secret yes" or anything; we're just really open to making the things you want. One struggle is that with latency with audio over the internet it's kind of a difficult problem if you're looking to jam with friends or anything.

[devout axle]

was worth the try

[undone otter]

Can there be any clarification on the instancing of housing? I feel like the answers have kind of been confusing. Will everyone in the neighbourhood see each others houses? Or is each individual house in it's own instance?

[left yarrow]

@runic notch I have to ask for more details on how character naming works because we currently got this "Will likely do the USERNAME#1234 or similar" (You probably recognize the writing). Does that mean it works similar to discord? or just that we can use letters and numbers in our names?

[magic trench]

only if i can play hurdy gurdy

[ornate hazel]

I like exploring the world to feel rewarding.

[quartz ember]

mh i see

[subtle swan]

Can we make neighborhoods/guilds with our friends and maybe choose our leaders? (mayor,financial expert,hunting leader)

[runic notch]

Its own area, other people can't invade your space

[proper wasp]

Is the map going to be too big?

[undone otter]

Thanks for that ❤

[subtle swan]

Can we invite them?

[runic notch]

Its really easy for friends and neighbors to visit and we'll be adding more controls too

[quartz ember]

is PercyButterFiend a dev account or just a random named thing for the trailer?

[dark pewter]

the map is smaller, and curated. they want the existing area to feel alive, less dead zone

[fringe kettle]

Will pre-alpha progress be reset after it is finished?

[undone otter]

They've said there will probably be wipes

[signal finch]

They've said lots of wipes are indeed possible

[static owl]

Are there different biomes?

[wary folio]

D:

[runic notch]

One of the dev's cats, Percy, eats butter, sometimes we watch the feeding

[proper wasp]

I love that thanks

[worldly lagoon]

when would pre alpha start?

[subtle swan]

Is it possible to make our own "little village" with others and build a whole kingdom or something like that?

[lethal geode]

i don't think it's been fully figured out, to be honest

[quartz ember]

ah lol ok

[worldly lagoon]

just curious!

[dark pewter]

i did see mentions of biomes earlier

[novel token]

Um I have a huge question. If I do get accepted for a pre-alpha testing, would it be possible if I can stream the game?

[devout axle]

scientifically exact answer is soon

[runic notch]

We want you to be singing Mr. Rogers theme song is what I'll say

[quartz ember]

with the gliding is it just an item you can use a certain amount of times?

[undone otter]

Nha there's an NDA

[worldly lagoon]

THE DEVS ARE CUTE BTW

[real lance]

Can I ask which former rioters joined the team? I adore league, but love games like Animal Crossing and Story of Seasons a lot so it made my expectations skyrocket.

[lethal geode]

is this a question? Cuz you RIGHT ❤️

[buoyant moon]

They have said that people who get into the pre-alpha will be bound by an NDA, so no streaming

[thorny agate]

Honestly I just want to harvest coffee beans and sell them in my in-game cafe.

[tranquil summit]

I really hope character naming will be flexible, so people be able to make 1 word names and also 2 word names with space between. I personally hate when something is just one way or the other. Gives me headache to make up names lol

[wary folio]

No homo but you looking firee

[novel token]

ah gotcha

[feral arch]

@left yarrow can this get added the FAQ please? Think it's an important one.

[sharp knoll]

Magic? 👀

[quartz ember]

can you destroy any tree no matter where it is?

[worldly lagoon]

no hetero *

[wary folio]

You are my magic

[runic notch]

There's a few of us. I was at Riot 8 years 😅

[narrow sandal]

If you could pick a plot of land out in the boonies and fix it up however you want if be so into this. Either way I'm stoked

[left yarrow]

I see, thank you! We would love discord like names btw ^^

[lethal geode]

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THAT?

[dark pewter]

no magic skill, but "there is something magical about palia"

[sharp knoll]

😳

[sharp knoll]

Facts

[wary folio]

😏

[magic trench]

terraforming

[undone otter]

Money

[left yarrow]

I thought I already have that (Brusco said that yestarday afaik). Will add it

[wary folio]

DM me, lets get married when pre-alpha comes out

[quartz ember]

well i wont but was just wondering and was at the bridge part

[feral arch]

I just did a quick search for some keywords and didn't see it but I might have missed it!

[proven cloak]

what if you make it to where you can cut down any tree but like replant a seed or something to grow another tree?

[dark pewter]

'and what inspired you to make a 2nd kursty krab, right next to the 1st one?' 'money :)'

[static owl]

Can coffee make you run faster?

[real lance]

Do you mind if I ask what areas were you and some of the others were from?

[inland wind]

xD

[lethal geode]

hahaha, there's things you can do on your own plot, but not the Village Center

[dark pewter]

leeks!

[raw oasis]

Segway from that question, how do resource nodes work? Are they infinite, regrowable, are there lumberyards, quarries, etc?

[proper wasp]

Is the game going to be pay to fast or is there only going to be microtransactions like cosmetics and things like that?

[wary folio]

Ey lets terraform new york

[novel token]

How far can we go on our plots?

[devout axle]

so no running around naked in the village?

[magic trench]

amazing :3

[quartz ember]

9 seconds in theres like a shrine by the tree is there any boosts or effects shrines give?

[undone otter]

📌

[lethal geode]

Yes to all of those, actually, hahahaha

[sharp knoll]

Will you be able to challenge people to duels?

[magic trench]

you monke ?

[dark pewter]

nothing about monetization is being talked about right now

[carmine ember]

did i hear "make the capital of a capitalist center 👀 "

[neat delta]

Plot to me feels about soccer field size 😄

[lethal geode]

no one wants that

[proven cloak]

is there gonna be like a "guild" system, or would that be just like your local neighborhood/village?

[sharp knoll]

Except for him

[wary folio]

You are goddamn right

[dark pewter]

what about in our own homes

[dark pewter]

the neighborhoods are their guild system

[hazy ruin]

Is pc the only platform the game will be released on or are there plans to release on other platforms as well?

[ancient cypress]

clans/guilds stuff? normal groups with friends? any general answer for this?

[devout fox]

@lethal geode are you planning to add other races than human and elves? i would love to be able as mech, that one in trailer looks dope

[carmine ember]

we gotta plot our shit together and force labour

[valid zephyr]

Is there going to be a cosmetic micro transaction store?

[wary folio]

Dm me, lets run around naked together

[sharp knoll]

Oop

[tranquil summit]

Can you imagine a Game Experiment where You make a fully terraformable area and just release the players on it.. Could be fun to watch how players act for different problesm

[wary folio]

Mhmm my man

[feral arch]

It looks like it expands in the trailer, correct? So would that be the max size?

[dark pewter]

monetization is not being talked about currently

[undone otter]

Might be stardew style where you clear it out?

[wary folio]

2b2t on minecraft

[sharp knoll]

Is there going to be a dueling feature?

[lethal geode]

we're not talking about all of that yet, unfortunately

[wary folio]

This idea right here officer

[split wagon]

will there be blood moon event during which we can organize copulatory lewd sort of events?

[novel token]

Marriageable NPC's right? Can we marry other players? If so, would we still have our own lands or could our houses merge? Family building?

[narrow sandal]

WE'RE GOING STREAKING!

[devout axle]

oddly specific

[dark pewter]

marriage is in the future

[thorny agate]

Me and @runic notch Are starting a Wealthy Socialite Neighborhood taking in members by invite only. (Suits / Dresses and monocoles required) 😆

[dark pewter]

'spouses and children could come later'

[signal finch]

@left yarrow Another one to mark for the FAQ up there, hon!

[magic trench]

are all the material nodes infinity ? or does that only apply to the basic ones and more rare materials will be limited ?

[wary folio]

WHAT...Like...ecchi clothing??

[carmine ember]

👀

[dark pewter]

sir this is a wendy's

[wary folio]

XD

[plucky bramble]

Will there be a camera mechanic like in Breath of the Wild?

[proper wasp]

Are you limited by budget or are you creating the game with total freedom at the moment?

[sharp knoll]

@magic trench

[novel token]

I see, so it's eventually gonna go into a full 'life' game MMO

[mortal geyser]

Will I be able to build a house entirely out of potatoes?

[signal finch]

They're definitely trying to keep it around an E for everyone, so I don't think so. Please keep it SFW!

[magic trench]

wendy`s is the only company that would actually do that

[wary folio]

Psst...

[sharp knoll]

Hmm?

[sick mica]

When elves are released will they follow the same, no gender, but have Muscular and Petit like body types?

[wary folio]

You are hot stuff

[magic trench]

thx

[left yarrow]

Yep, adding as we go ^^ I'm a bit behind but I'm catching up. Stall the devs so I don't run behind.

[sharp knoll]

Kinda gay bro

[devout axle]

they said, they are ok for muniez atm

[vital hare]

this community is arousing me

[wary folio]

I said no homo 200 messages ago its okay

[signal finch]

It's all good. Chat in here moves FAST

[sharp knoll]

Indeed

[wary folio]

The sexual tention between us is rising

[static owl]

Will there be GMs in the game to monitor players?

[devout axle]

I keep track as well, if Vlad did not add it, I ll bug him 😄

[sharp knoll]

Also, there's like, a lot of devs on, love seeing that.

[dark pewter]

im assuming theres absolutely no chance of publicly posting the roadmap, eh? lol

[wary folio]

This is the first game im simping for, YOU CAN DO IT DEVS

[novel token]

I'm highly curious on what the character customization is gonna be

[devout axle]

pinned document

[raw oasis]

Important question. Can I display creatures I've caught in my plot? Fishtanks, bugjars, etc.

[split wagon]

if it's anything like cyberpunk or scum, i;m sold

[signal finch]

Please make sure to keep Rule 2 in the #809856950111830046 in mind!

[magic trench]

same bro

[wild python]

im sure this has been asked already but i didnt see it ... Will Palia be on Steam or will you have your own launcher?

[undone otter]

These geniuses have just taken the most neglected parts of modern day MMOs and chucked them into a game. I am jacked for this game

[magic trench]

just call it a zoo

[dark pewter]

they arent sure at this time

[novel token]

got it, looking now

[quartz ember]

Is the pre beta thing out this year

[runic notch]

Dunno if we'll use the classic GM model but we'll have folks helping out with player issues for sure!

[sharp knoll]

Yeah, I wonder if they're gonna have body size scaling and if that's gonna do anything to your skills.

[wild python]

TY

[split wagon]

like biomutant?

[dark pewter]

oo oo pick me! lol

[wary folio]

🍆

[halcyon crescent]

is there sailing in the game?

[magic trench]

where do i sign ?

[sharp knoll]

There's that other new mmo where build effects stats, I dunno about biomitant but probably.

[undone otter]

What are the servers programmed in? Java?

[signal finch]

Not at the moment, but they definitely would like to!

[wary folio]

Like is excessive foragint gonna make you grow leaves out of your skin?

[toxic spindle]

im also curious!

[dark pewter]

'servers' are not programmed

[undone otter]

What

[devout axle]

yeah, and wait for full garbage collection to get that potato farmed

[timid obsidian]

anyone know what kind of classes will be available in the game 🙂 ?

[chrome field]

Would love to see the dev's in game hosting events! Older MMO's they just existed to monitor chat I feel like.

[lament thistle]

On Instagram playPalia only posted once. But paliacommunity posts more. Is paliacommunity official also? Because paliacommunity does not mention that’s it’s a fan account.

[wary folio]

no classes, your skills form you

[dark pewter]

though that is a good question, what language is the game written in

[primal charm]

Too early to ask but voice chat?...

[wary folio]

English

[undone otter]

Only said it because one of their jobs says it and Kotlin

[devout axle]

no classes. described in the pinned doc )

[sharp knoll]

I'm gonna guess C#

[dark pewter]

i meanr programming language :v

[ancient hull]

How will houses work will there be one area of the map dedicated to houses or does everyone share the same plot but looks different to everyone?

[wary folio]

ENGLISH

[dark pewter]

ENGLISH ISNT A PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE

[feral arch]

Hey Devs if someone has time could y'all go through the filtered word list and make it a little more lenient? It's deleting a lot of comments with words that have multiple meanings. I have three warnings so far and counting lol

[wary folio]

I WILL MAKE IT ONE

[dark pewter]

well i mean i guess python is the closest to just straight up english

[split wagon]

nice fly

[final field]

You can program people with it 😉

[wary folio]

EWWWW WTFFF MANN, BAN THIS DEVIIL

[runic notch]

I have 3 warnings too, lmao. No worries we're adjusting as we go

[static trench]

that fly keeps making me think there's an insect on my screen

[devout axle]

ruby... comes to mind as well

[lament thistle]

On Instagram playPalia only posted once. But paliacommunity posts more. Is paliacommunity official also? Because paliacommunity does not mention that’s it’s a fan account.

[sharp knoll]

Ok so, we can't play other races. But... Can we just paint ourselves a different color?

[undone otter]

If so I wanna know if they're using a library

[split wagon]

i got a warning too for writing cORGIE

[signal finch]

Bot comes in and smacks down on the Devs. Terrible

[lethal geode]

we just have a LOT to do. Y'all got here so fast!

[magic trench]

you sir, disgust me

[keen grail]

lua is closest to english tbh

[wary folio]

BAN HIM

[surreal frost]

im guessing its in c++ as they are using unreal

[timid obsidian]

sorry for the idiotic question but, what document ? XDim looking through the channels trying to find one.

[dark pewter]

yeah but cmon, who uses lua?

[undone otter]

Unreal is for the client not the server

[signal finch]

And you're doing a great job, don't forget!

[wary folio]

Its in english

[devout axle]

the pins here in this chat

[lament thistle]

Is paliacommunity official also?

[proper wasp]

Will you have a very good amount of minerals inside the cave? I love mining games and feeling like there are countless things I haven't discovered

[magic trench]

you underestimated the power of internet

[keen grail]

a lot of games uses lua and one of em is warframe

and lua is solid

[broken vigil]

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

[split wagon]

nice fly

[undone otter]

Yeah LUA is actually a fairly used scripting language

[edgy echo]

Is Palia made in a custom engine? Or an existing one 😄

[sick mica]

Will items in housing or even clothing be “dyeable”?

[dark pewter]

python is the one true language :v

[magic trench]

unreal

[high lance]

Unreal Engine 4

[undone otter]

Ue4

[split wagon]

@edgy echo apparently unreal

[buoyant moon]

Unreal 4

[timid obsidian]

thanks!

[wary folio]

unreal

[devout axle]

if I may, this chat has to be more enforced to strictly questions and not suggestions and musings

[grizzled island]

that is freaking disgusting

[split wagon]

unreal

[edgy echo]

Thanks lads!

[sharp ridge]

To the Devs: What question should we be asking that we haven't?

[wary folio]

XD

[left yarrow]

I have 2 cats, that thing won't be anywhere near my house xD

[keen grail]

ue 4 is history ue5 is in early access

[static owl]

This fly is it a bug or a feature?

[undone otter]

C# is best but I have to use Javascript in a weird custom web game enginebfor my job

[wary folio]

is there going to be fighting in this game?

[sharp knoll]

Ue5 demo was gorgeous
