Is Enshrouded DELIVERING on its Roadmap?

[@KachZz]

I completely forgot it's an Early access game, there's so much content for the price.

[@Lionpigster]

and not many bugs. It's crazy

[@jupiterthree5228]

I know, right? I bought it on day one just in case they upped the price. They did that for Smalland, upped the price after a few updates. Enshrouded actually came out on sale, if I remember correctly.

[@thedudeabides3138]

It’s ridiculous how much content there is for the price and it’s really impressive how buttery smooth it runs….and it’s so good looking too. As a rule, I’m not into base building types of games, but this is exceptional in its ease of use and just how deeply satisfying it is to effortlessly put together a stunning looking base. Without question, this is one of the best releases this year….and that’s saying something in a superb year for us gamers.

[@TiagoAdam]

2 games for me of the year.. one is this the other is wukong...

[@skatertrix411]

Was like v rising early access, could’ve beaten a lot of triple AAA games as an indie EA game

[@DaftRabbit09]

Looking forward to when they implement townsfolk (hopefully with tasks), pet and farm animals, and weather (hopefully with wind that moves the flora, but not sure if possible), the game at that point should feel much more alive, and town-building will much be more rewarding.

[@stefanapostol6542]

agreed. imo i think that at that point it will be somewhat better than medieval dynasty depending on how they do it. i think enemy patrols will make it feel better too. this is the game that gave me the most skyrim type feels.

[@roberthossler7282]

Would love to see them make the world react, like after you take out a shroud root they stay gone and the shroud is gone and the world will heal itself and start growing trees and grass. So you are actually saving Embervale.

[@PratfallYT]

We think that, when full release comes, this will become a main mechanic. The endgame goal of Enshrouded will be to clear the world of shroud! :)

[@DirtSquirty]

Keen has been killing it with updates and adding stuff! The lore and story is great especially when you take your time and read it all! And being such a small part of the overall all world is open I’m excited to see how they and where they take the story and biomes

[@NZMPlays]

They’ve put Valheims output to absolute shame so it doesn’t even matter. But the answer is yes.

[@theharbringer3900]

The server updates floored me because there are people out there that do want to have just a chill and build map. Not having to use a trainer to do that has been absolutely brilliant. There were so many new things. I have just barely come back to the game since the updates. The fact that they made it more compatible with linux since the steam deck update has been great too. It makes my life a whole lot easier since I don't have to run the game through something like lutris. I can just run it on steam helps a lot with since I am running an older PC. I really do love this game and it has been giving me a pretty good rotation for content.

[@TaliffsTrials]

"I absolutely love the concept of adding townsfolk and pets into the game. If they are static, implementing them should be relatively straightforward. However, introducing any movement could potentially cause significant FPS drops, as we've seen with many open-world games that are already strained by their lack of loading screens. The same concern applies to dynamic water; flowing or animated water could exacerbate performance issues. That said, I sincerely hope the world includes lakes, pools, or at least static water features-perhaps even modular water blocks. Fingers crossed for a balance between immersion and performance optimization.

[@fredrikhansen2387]

This game need mounts, base defense and better containers . Plus npc need to work benches.

[@petergreening1334]

@6:16 I thought the reasssignable glider shortcut was to be able to set it to a different key/button from jump so as to stop accidentally gliding when trying to jump

[@PratfallYT]

Ooo that actually makes way more sense! Yeah I think you’re right, I would love to see a quick switch option though!

[@MrSlm1982]

Post Processing involves effects like bloom, motion blur, depth of field. Making things cinematic or immersive for players.

[@NinaFelwitch]

I like that you can sort chests and fill them with a single button press. But what's annoying is that there is no "only fill what is already inside" button. I don't want to put my arrows in my cooking material chest!

[@AstraVoid]

from a game development perspective, portals to other worlds seems impossible to implement unless by worlds they mean like dimensions

[@brandonsheffield9873]

I'd love to see Wedge building blocks/ voxels for building with. Then, we can create straight lines for roofs, and give better appearances or representation of circles and actual stair hand rails.

[@CoperliteConsumer]

You can do this your just not aware of the context voxels that change each voxels state. You may have accudently come across a few like thatch roof making imperial japan roofing end caps but you can go so much deeper by using raw rock and dirts to change bricks into crazy shapes. There is a lot of depth here and i can see this being used by other games moving forward

[@brandonsheffield9873]

@CoperliteConsumer I see, I did eventually make a curve accidentally using the vines, I just need to learn how to do it on purpose and it look good.

[@karenpresciliano]

For more Monsters, i think would be HUGE if we have more Corrupted/Shroud version of the animals too? Like Shroud Goat / Shroud Rabbit, and more Shroud version from the New Farm/wild animals thats itss coming. So we can actually feel HOW the Shroud REALLY corrupted the World. Its will be very cool. They receive more life/damage and also drop souls, and are agressive and attack us.

[@KeyClavis]

You already find shroud boar around Pikesmead. Probably elsewhere too.

[@karenpresciliano]

@@KeyClavis i know, but i have only seen the Boar, i like him too, i want all other Wild Animals to also have shroud corrupt version, it will be cool. A Wolf for example, if run into the shroud for more then 10 seconds, he become corrupted. I want the corruption spread all wild

[@NinaFelwitch]

I'm very glad that I bought this game a week ago after the recent update, because looking at the state of the game right at the beginning, I don't think I would have liked it as much as I do now.

[@WitchyoftheWest]

These are some of my fave types of vids you guys do, where you just sit and chat about the game. Well done for a lovely video and shout out to Keen for the hard work. ❤

[@WitchyoftheWest]

If they add a weather system I wish they would make strong winds blow the shroud fog across the land, this would also be followed by a horde of the undead so include another one of their features (random enemy parties etc). Imagine questing in an area and slowly seeing the fog rolling in and within it seeing the shadows of undead moving within. Think Carpenter's the Fog. Imagine if the fog drifted into your base and turned your townsfolk! Also I think if it snows or it's winter that you have to harvest crops or they perish and unsheltered farm animals get sick - I know this isn't for everyone but it gives us more activities we, as settlement leaders, have to manage. x

[@WitchyoftheWest]

Aren't the Will-o'-the-wisp based on the Scottish folklore around them being spirits that haunt bogs and swamps tempting travellers into the water to drown? I think they were first introduced in the swampy forest?

[@PratfallYT]

Thank you Witchy! We really enjoy making these too, we love the discussions that they tend to spark. 😊

[@PratfallYT]

[@jupiterthree5228]

"Post-processing is a technique used in video games to enhance the look and feel of a scene by applying filters to an image buffer before it's displayed on screen." There was a photo of a window with insane bloom, which everyone has been complaining about. Maybe it means they will be fixing the blinding bloom effect. Which would be really nice. It's so painful. I haven't played since launch. I was so happily surprised when I picked the game back up a week ago with the potted plants! They're so cute. All I want is to be able to build a greenhouse for the Farmer. We need glass walls/roof pieces.

[@PratfallYT]

Greenhouse would be awesome!

[@lordwellingtonthethird8486]

Love the game, more building blocks would be great, some way to do rounded walls etc. and make the world feel a bit more alive.

[@PratfallYT]

Unfortunately we don’t think rounded walls will be likely due to the voxel system! But the world will definitely be feeling more alive very soon!

[@alainawright5755]

They should allow the magic chests to work with production machines

[@neondreams2337]

Late to the vid, but Post Processing... there was an issue where you could make a fantastic base with a great view... but if you looked out the window, the bloom was so bright you couldn't enjoy it. This was something they worked on, so you could actually enjoy your views from a window.

[@krio_gen]

They have greatly changed the landscape of the game, making the map more saturated EVERYWHERE. The number of places where it is interesting to build a base has increased tenfold. It was as if she had sharpened the original blank of the game, polishing it. A lot of little things have changed, almost every bump, but for this you need to be observant.

[@mekko1413]

While i understand the resource world the game should be developed around them not existing. Hangable signs would be great but at minimum a road sign, but with how they are progressing I think they will get this covered.

I only know of one spot right now that was changed in ‘location improvements’. The first area you pass through the shroud under the bridge has been changed. I didn’t notice anything different with fort kelvin, but I do need to go back there to look around. The advantage of having a 2nd character is I can see how things have changed in springlands and the revelwood. Sadly hadn’t gone past the fel wyrm before the most recent update so nomad highlands and kindlewaste I’ve only seen as they are now.

[@justinh4364]

[@funb4gss125]

I think they should change the Staffs to do specific damage as opposed to casting spells. The spells sometimes can be very slow and clunky and you can't use them. But if you have a fire ball staff or frost staff I think it would add so much more playability to mage combo builds.

[@PratfallYT]

That would be cool, especially with the mountain update, fire should be king. Would be nice to see more obvious enemy weaknesses too :)

​@@PratfallYTno lie, i haveplayed almost every survival craft EA game to come out since the year Subnautica launched in EA, this is easily in my top 10 most professional on track EA projects i have seen.

No, Valheim has a "water" plane that exists that the same height everywhere on the map. Nothing "flows" anywhere as there's no water physics.

[@davidba990]

Please read well and don't jump to bad conclusions, iT says this year in our early access, remember that the early access will last one year, They are referring to the early access year not the 2024. Don't put more pressure to the company just because you got it wrong... that has been the cancer for most of games in develop during decades. But really nice video by the way. Just be careful as you now have and lead a community that can easily do as much harm as good to the game if miss leaded.

[@PratfallYT]

The game entered early access in January, so assuming it does last a full year that takes us to next January, which basically lines up with the calendar year. It’s possible that we misspeak at times but we try to state that as clearly as we can. We’re not pressuring or misleading anyone, we love the game and the team behind it.

[@DaftRabbit09]

Why do people use "resource worlds"??? It's literally unnecessary- nobody is covering the entire map with building areas due to the shrine limit- so just farm your map and then go to main menu and when you hop back in your world is regenerated in the wild areas. Going to another world is several extra steps that are literally not needed....

[@PratfallYT]

You don’t know peoples circumstances or wants. Some people have very limited time to play the game, and probably don’t want to spend that time farming. Let people play how they want, it doesn’t affect your experience at all. :)

[@justinh4364]

@DaftRabbit09 In my case I've built a city that spans five full shrines, with three more shrines as outlying lands such as farms and haunted forest. It's a lot of everything. Not just blocks, but chairs, books, windows, etc. Using a resource world cut down on literally hours and hours and hours of gathering so I could focus on what I really enjoy doing most.

You can use the sliders to increase yield. I'm betting that's the primary reason for designated resource saves.
