Seems an upcoming game by some pretty well knwon game devs, seems a bit of a Battle Royale Moba. No clue what the future for it is yet but might be interesting to keep an eye out on. (Playtest should be this weekend)

Introducing our first game in development, code-named Project Loki. It’s a group adventure, a competitive sandbox and a highlights factory, all at once. It’s a blend of genres players have described as “League meets Apex meets Smash.”

Game has a proper name now

#

Supervive

hey @tardy vessel @near turtle I am going to be admining the first paid prize pool SUPERVIVE tournament this weekend and I know there's a few from the amazing team I'm working with who've submitted interest forms for a wiki, just looking around but thought I'd say hi

near turtle
#

👋 im gonna be in the playtest this week, moreso to see for myself how esports-viable the game is (looks like it so far!)
its kind of what i do, i have eyes on several other upcoming games too

cursive root
#

nice, I'm a top 100 player myself but I will admit it's hard to see what the potential is until your MMR gets high enough, we're hoping to use our event on Sunday as a showcase for those who've not yet made like the 3+ playtest grind to get there

near turtle
#

yeyeye

cursive root
#

OK so for prosperity

#

results of first tournament

#

scoring system we used:

#

(and 1 point per kill)

cursive root
#

more updates if we get a page for it eventually

#

shoutout to @static pilot o7

tardy vessel
#

Could also pre-emptively do a bit of work on a userspace on e.g apex

fading rose
#

SUPERVIVE

dreamy moon
cursive root
#

god damn good work >.>

#

this one is gonna be tricky with Liquipedia's format I imagine

#

in SUPERVIVE, a kill is a player dying, an elimination is a team dying

#

the technicality on the wording is gonna be interesting

dreamy moon
#

XD

cursive root
#

fairs

dreamy moon
cursive root
#

I think seeing the limitations of the Apex format also I don't blame you either

#

little bit of a leak but

#

we also had feedback from some players that they would like kill and elimination points to be experimented with (.e.g. extra points if you kill the last player alive in a squad)

#

would not surprise me if another TO did that, since those values are in the API data

#

just suggests to me the headaches we could see down the line from other scenes just using elimination as a term in 10 different ways 😅

dreamy moon
#

if we can get a format going early on/all the formats that could happen long run it will be easy

#

but since only 2 events have happened its just a wait and see now

cursive root
#

yeah

#

I have it on good authority there's another org out there wanting to give it a shot

#

so we'll see if our different approaches ignite the discussion

dreamy moon
#

whos the org

cursive root
#

that for now I think stays off-record, but I'll update here when they go public about it

dreamy moon
#

sadge

cursive root
#

I'm more so aware in the sense of the tip offs I've had are in their talent scouting stage and feels immoral to influence that

dreamy moon
#

fair fair

verbal nova
#

Sup

#

Page has been filled out with talent and all results have been correctly locked in.

#

All teams and nationalities have also been filled. I've left one out on purpose, that being Campo. As Israel is currently a hot topic in international affairs, I've assigned him the standard EU flag for safety's sake to protect the player.

static pilot
#

shouldnt we put the broadcast talent on top? i know it from other games on liquipedia that its on top and not all the way at the bottom

#

and i also think broadcast talent is important so it should be on top imo

cursive root
#

VALORANT uses this flag for Russia for example

#

but it's such a minor thing I wouldn't worry about tweaking it RN

cursive root
#

the convention on Apex is bottom I think?

static pilot
static pilot
cursive root
#

the template was made using the Apex format that's all there is to it

dreamy moon
#

we are open todo what ever we want

cursive root
#

I think personally I'd be advocating for something like the TFT wiki in advance, the assumption of 'main' and 'alternate' streams

#

they also do top of page to be clear

static pilot
cursive root
#

I wonder if perhaps a community like this would benefit from 'notable co-streams' 🤔 (this is bottom of page)

dreamy moon
#

co-streams get messy

#

i would try to stay away from it

cursive root
#

fair point, I guess it's gonna be something to see play out first

#

oh and @dreamy moon while I'm here, I believe these are technically all the same map

#

you can physically travel to all 4 regardless of which bonfire is active, I know this is placeholder but saving you from any future rabbit holes

dreamy moon
#

the only mode i havent touched so

#

ty

cursive root
#

OK I'm gonna make some light edits here and there of my own and justify them here, starting with the canon name for the BR map

#

battlegrounds is the only official name the BR map has ever had, dating back to pre-glider 32 player project Loki

#

implementing the following storm shift list

verbal nova
#

All I want to establish is maybe best to get clarification from TC first and foremost. Better to ask than suggest the people running the Supervive wiki are lying haha

cursive root
# verbal nova Just to be clear on this. We’re calling maps Battlegrounds? Therefore Skylands I...

during pre-alpha the oldest terminology was:

battlegrounds - the map we today know as the BR map, no lore name has been confirmed or used since and the name was placeholder, I appreciate the way I said 'canon' might not have been clear here so apologies ❤️
arena - has never had a public name, simply "the DM map" verbatim from PWYFF, Bubo, Jru, New001, I am actively looking for a source that calls this literally anything else
skylands - colloquial term has seemingly been used for 'both' maps, but has applied for all experimental variations of maps in focus groups too (20v20, explorer experimental mode, older iterations of training/practice range)

cursive root
#

I am curious in the same way Anion is curious regarding official map names (she maintains the online wiki) but the last either of us heard they simply hadn't been given lore names as maps yet

#

regardless, TC themselves just recently hired a new lore guy into seemingly the same position Maryo used to hold on the team so might be something we can get a confirmation on in due time >.>

verbal nova
#

PRONOUNS

#

PRONOUNS would be an incredible addition to the wiki

#

I had no idea Anion was she/her

#

So adding that info to the wiki would be INCREDIBLY useful for casters

cursive root
#

legitimately yes

#

I think SUPERVIVE is probably close to Splatoon's gender diversity at competitive level so, though Liquipedia as a whole honestly could benefit, I think the need is heightened

#

anyway map name source

#

last public comment was that the dev team was 'holding on' to confirmation of whether we had lore names for the maps, meaning that as we have neither that nor an in-game indicator I think the simplest solution for now is resort to dev terminology (.i.e. we call it what they called it most often/recently)

verbal nova
#

👍

timber spire
#

We've considered adding pronouns before, but the amount of contributors actually interested in maintaining that was rather low. If nobody will maintain it then we can't add it.

cursive root
timber spire
#

Basically we would want such features for all the players we've considered notable to have a page. We are aware that this information is probably not obtainable for all players, as it essentially requires asking every player with a page, but we would still want it for as many players as possible. And that's simply a lot of work.

This feature is also not on a "we can never ever do this list", but it would require a group of contributors to get together to maintain this.

As with all new features though, and this is not specific to you, or to this feature, the contributors we would want to have showing they would maintain this feature would have to have already shown that they will continue to contribute, so we would disregard new contributors for any feature requests that are high maintenance. Such a drive would have to come from contributors that have been around for a bit and who have shown that they will contribute continuously.

cursive root
#

that's fair enough, I figured was probably something with a deeper history, and I see a lot of summative language there so I take it that's the case, just establishing the current state on that

timber spire
#

I don't have strong feelings either direction with this feature, I can just give you a summary of what's happened so far wrt pronouns

#

This is a 15 year old website with a big community, you can assume most topics have been brought up at some point ^^

#

never hurts to ask of course

cursive root
#

re: I figured, just getting the more direct statement before speculating

#

thanks though, I don't think a new grassroots scene is gonna shake up an entire site on a format component but helps to be informed

#

I have known about debates on Wikipedia over some very trivial things so by comparison I completely get the caution

#

and I'd rather this discussion than 'does adding among us crewmates to diagrams constitute site vandalism' LUL

timber spire
#

^^

#

Liquipedia has an advantage here in that the administrators are willing to just go and enforce policies a lot more aggressively than Wikipedia administrators are, but we generally try to use common sense, and being able to maintain a feature comes in as a good criterion

#

Also we generally do try and listen to what the community wants

#

but on some discussions there will never be an end, and then we just make a decision

tardy vessel
# cursive root the convention on Apex is bottom I think?

Generally on newer wikis and some other improvements we've been moving it down a bit under a combined broadcast header together with the streams. (Generally for the casual broadcast talent isn't that important to be listed above all other information)

# tardy vessel 💀 br formats will be the death of me

yeahhhhh for context SUPERVIVE has a significant number of res mechanics, and certain forms of loot that only drop from the team box (the big box that combines all the player boxes together for convenience) such as soul boss buffs, that make full wiping an important tactical consideration

#

basically imagine if the equivalent of Baron buff was lootable but only if the full squad got wiped

#

I will use a Caedrel POV for convenience (all my high MMR footage moves too fast to showcase I think) but the 2 types of box are distinct in shape and also are tracked separately by the game https://youtu.be/3QmAwM_prUY?si=ybLehk-B_X084_Tk&t=2854

is there any chance of seeing the teammembers and teamnames of every team that participated in the first EU and NA shomatch (04.June.2024)? i think they deleted it in the discord channel right? cause i can only see the ones from the latest ones from the 1st of august

dreamy moon
#

@verbal nova whould u know?

verbal nova
#

From JUNE

#

I mean the match vod might still be available on Discord but I haven't checked in a hot second

static pilot
#

i wathed both showmatch VODS on your twitch but some players were just the hunter names and ther were no teamnames, just a few i could pick up from you saying them during the cast

verbal nova
#

I only covered July onward though

#

I don't have the June matches available

dreamy moon
#

rip

static pilot
#

Yea i mean July, Like the ones from the 4th of July

#

The first openly watchable ones

#

Where The Last Door won both yk

static pilot
static pilot
verbal nova
#

I have the August ones only

static pilot
#

The vods are still on your Twitch

#

From the July ones

verbal nova
static pilot
static pilot
#

Unlucky

#

U think the devs or Community Managers still have the Info about it? Cause in the discord channel it was deleted

verbal nova
static pilot
#

Okay i will ask him, lets see

static pilot
#

Nah he doesnt, unlucky then

static pilot
#

nvm he got them

#

i will add them in a bit

dreamy moon
#

wooooo

static pilot
#

all the devs are from the us probably right? exept for the ones where it sais otherwise on their website

dreamy moon
#

Ye

static pilot
#

okay good

cursive root
#

some are Canadian outside that

#

but they all have LinkedIns so

#

nothing's out of reach there

static pilot
#

ahh okay

#

yea but from ingame name to who they are is a bit rough

cursive root
#

if you get stuck on any LMK

static pilot
#

Aight thank you ^^

verbal nova
#

FYI no tournaments as far as I can see for September. I'm running eight show matches across the upcoming playtest window.

cursive root
#

yup that lines up with my own BTS info too

#

(not major per se just related to the nature of what they're doing this test)

static pilot
#

Alright

#

Tho 8 showmatches are a ton, thats gonna be fire🔥

static pilot
#

damn we need a supervive wiki aswell, deadlock already got theirs after a few daysFeelsLPManBlue

dreamy moon
#

One day

verbal nova
#

Like

#

I get it's Valve

#

but come on LOL

static pilot
#

yea man

cursive root
# verbal nova I get it's Valve

I mean in fairness Deadlock community has more game uptime and thus can have more contributors (since they can log in and pull game info whenever)

#

accelerates the process monumentally

timber spire
#

There's also been more visible interest from our existing community in that game. And remember, Deadlock getting a wiki takes nothing away from this game, if the interewt is there and big enough it will happen

near turtle
#

so itll be soon

verbal nova
#

The open beta is guaranteed to be before the end of the year.

#

So December latest.

near turtle
#

yeah and the next playtest is uh
kinda imminent since they said its monthly for now

static pilot
#

On Steam it actually says release 4. Quarter of 2024 so maybe it actually releases in December already

static pilot
#

Once supervive is in Beta and released the interest will rise really fast i think so hopefully it doesnt take too long to get itTLcheer

verbal nova
#

Make no mistake that’s the Beta release @static pilot

#

Everything suggests it will be a continual ramp up to the Version 1.0 release similar to League

static pilot
#

Well true that
Yea probably a few months after Beta release its gonna release, i remember it for valorant where it was released 2 months after beta, so its gonna take a bit longer than that cause TC is a small Studio right

near turtle
#

its small but theres hella big names working there

static pilot
#

That is true, thats the thing that makes me really confident about the game and its development

cursive root
#

if servers open early enough standby for codex bombing LUL

static pilot
#

Niice thank youTLcheer

dreamy moon
#

@static pilot still here

static pilot
#

I couldnt see it anymore for some reason, thank you

dreamy moon
static pilot
#

Bruh

verbal nova
#

We just have to keep posting

#

Lovely job on the showmatch pages everyone btw!

static pilot
verbal nova
#

Very welcome!

static pilot
cursive root
#

so nervous about later today

#

Next Fest has felt rough for the game overall on metrics

#

ranked is the last arrow in the quiver

verbal nova
#

Talk to any developer and they've been happy with growth and reception that the game has garnered. Next Fest was another rollout introduction to crowds, not the be-all and end all for SUPERVIVE.

#

The game literally locked in at second most popular game during Next Fest against Delta Force, a game pulling in the nostalgia and FPS crowd with a FAR more complete product than SUPERVIVE has right now.

#

So, yes, whilst I would also expect for the numbers to rise across the weekend (just through pure player availability alone) it's not the end of the world if they don't.

#

No need to doom and gloom a game that's running a demo version with zero OST, an unpolished menu and even a character who has portrait art but no updated model to go with it.

near turtle
#

yeah supervive has been the biggest competitive game on next fest and honestly they just need to pretty it up a bit and its ready for release
its brought in decent twitch numbers too

cursive root
#

I get all this, I've seen Spectre Divide fall short with more though

near turtle
#

i dont think people were sold with spectre divide since it didnt have that unique of a gameplay loop

#

attaching shrouds name to it didnt do anything
people had gripes with the map size and movement speed
and the main gimmick it had kind of fell a bit flat

cursive root
#

I mean true, I just worry a lot given marketing analysis that it's not hitting the baselines many similarly hyped up 'ex-insert studio' games got to and failed despite that

#

SD being a recent talking point but same goes for Omega Strikers and to a lesser extent Battlerite

#

leaving aside that aspect though I have to look at a game like Eternal Return for competition and what it has needed just to thrive, I don't see SUPERVIVE getting there before 2025

verbal nova
#

It's not going Version 1.0 until at LEAST Spring 2025

#

and it might even be longer tbh

#

So again, stop dooming and glooming. Respectfully.

cursive root
#

I don't think the public largely cares what the version number says, I just want a lot of esports industry veterans to be wrong on things currently being said

verbal nova
#

Then don't look at it, trust the devs and enjoy the game lol

#

They literally said it was a tech test and they were very happy with the week.

#

Would be much more quiet and honest if it was bad.

cursive root
#

I'm trying not to but a lot of top players (myself included) have heard this song before elsewhere, I have a lot of faith in TC to pull through but beta is immediately after next fest in some regions

verbal nova
#

Well duh

#

Open Beta haha

cursive root
#

my point is

#

this is a beta build of the game

#

which shouldn't look that drastically different from launch in reality

verbal nova
#

Well this does hahaha

#

Lots of improvements to come

cursive root
#

if you say so

#

I will assume this to be a clown fiesta but noted for later https://fxtwitter.com/playSUPERVIVE/status/1856036457166803173

ANNOUNCING... THE SUPERVIVE CREATOR CUP.

📅 Mark your calendars: November 22-23
📺 Catch us live @ http://twitch.tv/theorycraftgames

This'll be a 2-day event STUFFED to the gills with CREATORS and SUPERVIVE and cups. Stay tuned for our lineup of creators, talent, and rewards (for YOU!)

verbal nova
#

It's a Twitch Rivals-like cup

#

Huge for marketing and getting more eyes on the game

cursive root
#

aye I didn't think we'd get anybody notable

#

I will assume from Ovilee teasing that that's the kinda baseline we're dealing with on quality (50ish hour people) but yeah otherwise not a major consideration

cursive root
#

@static pilot I don't intend to drag any BTS planning into public domain but I will assume from this graphic SVDACH at least notionally would be happy to see formats akin to LVL standardised?

cursive root
#

HOLY SHIT Y'ALL

#

FIRST EVER SUPERVIVE LAN???

#

prize is not monetary so wouldn't meet Liquipedia standards regardless

#

but if the game manages to blossom post-launch this could be good to archive in user space

verbal nova
#

LAN is a stretch

#

It’s a cool in-person event

cursive root
#

OK yeah just inspecting further

#

not technically "LAN"

#

but even so

#

venue is tiny though you're right however

#

I am going to keep an eye on the KR scene because let's face it, if the game stands any chance of doing stuff in esports it'll be under Nexon first (even if they're known for shutting down a lot of GaaS platforms they habitually push a lot of competitive-oriented marketing)

#

gives us something to work with

verbal nova
#

Two new events announced as SUPERVIVE prepares for Open Beta, I can guarantee you that there's one more announcement on the way this week

cursive root
#

6 game blocks just wondering how to categorise

#

if it carries over standings in some way over multiple events it could be worth covering akin to swiss leagues on the TFT wiki

#

rather than making a page for each week

#

as for the creator cup

#

reminds me of old school FNCS, might user page for fun

static pilot
cursive root
#

and well with SVDACH looking into prize pools judging by that ping just now I'll add to the doc

cursive root
#

I will cover this happening tomorrow as a user page I think in due time

#

I didn't with the creator cup in the end because it was apparent a decent fraction of participants weren't enjoying themselves

cursive root
#

these patch notes kinda imply there's no foreseeable need for a wiki I'mma be real, I got some curveballs over the festive period so didn't get around to EGL duos in the end but I think with Reliq presumably having interest only in events with which he is affiliated and thus leaving only a couple of potential contributors for everything else, there's no reason to really cover the game's community via LP at least

verbal nova
#

I blocked Mika for various reasons, but I think I need to clarify a couple of things for the sake of my own sanity here.

  1. The patch notes are absolutely fine. They are disappointing in their opinion and not reflective of the wider audience at large which has seen growth globally according to Theorycraft data which includes the Asia region - this being data not included on Steam CCU before we bring up that broken horse of an argument.

  2. I’ve actually prepped pages for both EGL Squad events due to happen this month aa they pertain to squads and, thus, is relevant data to the primary competitive game mode.

I just hope they get enough teams for me to go ahead and make the page.

  1. I don’t think a wiki is needed at this time mostly because SUPERVIVE hasn’t popped off yet. I feel like it is worth revisiting this game for wiki selection again maybe in half a year as we close in on Version 1.0.

We should have a much better idea by then if this thing is headed up or down.

cursive root
#

the end of the patch notes discussed decision making focussed upon the "new and solo players" which is the other end of the spectrum from organised play, I am agreeing with you chief

verbal nova
#

Then stop sounding like a miserable sod about everything LOL

cursive root
#

I didn't realise you were still upset over I assume the conversation regarding OP.GG? (at least, this is what I can only infer from our DM history unless something happened after that point) but I have no need to dramatise on that front, I'm just saying for now we evaluate the resources this community already uses rather than going directly to wiki markup

verbal nova
#

You are truly an unpleasant person.

Unbelievable lol

I’m just going to go back to ignoring you. You’ll never learn.

cursive root
#

OK... I'm sorry man I am genuinely in the dark here, regardless I was going to propose using document formatting that the NA scrim Discord might be more familiarised with at this point is all, at least I'm considering going that route for again, EGL and maybe SUPERVIVERS depending on how public they try to be

cursive root
#

speaking of, we have essentially a full format lock for SUPERVIVE's largest open prize pool yet ($600) although seems not much in the way of socials for citations, if they can establish a rulebook prior to commencing I might get this up in an online capacity rather than personal notation

cursive root
cursive root
#

looks like EU's potentially going ahead for EGL, will have to dig up those duos results from last month for a page methinks 👀

cursive root
#

EGL EU for this month (playing with a sub is pain but anyway keeping the results here for documenting later)

#

will do the same for NA once they're done

cursive root
#

North America games in order likewise

cursive root
#

will be reporting on the $638 "Covy Clash" prize pool if streamed also

Heya all, as you might've seen per the latest announcement, you can now work on a project in the #lab wiki! This way you can look to create the start of this wiki.

Please check the latest #announcements message announcement and video to get a full grasp on the lab wiki and how to start a project. Feel free to ping me if you need any help!

rough pumice
cursive root
#

yeah changes have been more than a bit controversial for competitive players :/

cursive root
# rough pumice why is that?? 👀

They added this weird new metaprogression system where you have to re-unlock the contents of the in-match shop every season, imagine if every 3 months in DOTA the entire secret shop catalogue was slowly given to you via loot boxes after each game

rough pumice
#

ooh damn

tardy vessel
#

Heya, doing a check-in since on the lab the wiki is progressing well. How's the future of supervive's competitive scene looking atm? (E.g is there still interest, are there enough upcoming tournaments, are there any hints if there will be an "official" circuit)

cursive root
#

Playerbase is receding at quite a significant rate and 1.0 a lot of people argued was a middle finger to the idea of being a serious competitive game

#

I don't think TC have ever expressed interest in anything official either

tardy vessel
kindred herald
#

Yup that's me

will correct it, thanks for the heads up 🫡

Also, do you know about a way I could use to display total points, placement points and kill points in a bracket match whithout detailling points game per game ? I don't have access to per-game stats anymore so it feels kinda lackluster to only display total points

tardy vessel
#

Ah you mean as 2 columns just for Kill pojnts and placement point?

#

That's currently not supported

kindred herald
#

okay thanks :)

covert sun
#

Heyo, i saw this game and it seems very interesting. How much of a competitive scene does this have? Especially in EU and NA

cursive root
#

it's had a somewhat stable scrim scene but not what it once was

#

a few months ago they pushed a really tone deaf metaprogession system for the '1.0' update and lost a lot of good will with the playerbase and while they have reverted the grind involved they are still stuck with a weird resulting gameplay flow so it's just been a smaller few hanging on

kindred herald
#

HELLO ! Please don't listen to someone that doesn't follow the scene :) I'm the current editor maintaining the articles for SNS, a series of tournaments that are ongoing weekly for EU and NA, with tiers and cash prize and so on

#

If you want to have more details, I can link you the discord @covert sun

#

By the way @dreamy moon or @tardy vessel, since I add the tourneys on a weekly basis, the main page will need a weekly review if you can do it 🥹

vague flame
#

Never followed supervive but still sad to see the game sunsetting

rough pumice
#

damn, game died pretty quickly :/

cursive root
#

honestly was surprised it wasn't a few months prior but respect for the studio itself not shuttering outright, I just hope their next project builds upon learnt lessons given even the slightest concerns about methodology was met with hostility it felt like
