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

[@SM-yq9ig]

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

[@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.

[@milkman701]

I find it crazy that they aren’t expanding on the story. I want to know more on how the world became the way it did and I’m excited for new bosses and challenges.

[@Pratfallofficial]

I have a feeling we’ll learn much more once we get to the sky islands, especially if that’s related to the townsfolk.

[@alphawolf2993]

I just played it for 10hrs after purchasing, no regrets.

[@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.

[@NZMPlays]

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

[@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.

[@Pratfallofficial]

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! :)

[@donenglish7572]

I recently noticed some changes around the pillars of creation. More caves.

[@Pratfallofficial]

Oh really?? We best check em out

[@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.

[@MrSlm1982]

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

[@camscontent8174]

Two months later and we now have Multiple NPC instances Townsfolk NPC's Townsfolk pets Animal Farming Weather System Mountains Biome And Water!, JK, its ice, but that's progress. Got my family to buy this game after the recent update and we are all loving it.

[@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

[@thedudeabides3138]

Great video guys, thank you very much for posting, I’d no idea about the vast majority of this stuff coming down the line and I’m really excited to dive back into this masterpiece of a game.

[@Pratfallofficial]

Thank you for watching! Yeah we think the game’s just gonna keep getting better and better!

Just started playing and I am loving the game. Battle mage build feels so unique and fun.

[@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.

[@Pratfallofficial]

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!

[@sanctred]

They added some of the generic shroud creatures like the boars that drop shroud sacks.

[@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.

[@Pratfallofficial]

Greenhouse would be awesome!

[@spearwy7240]

Awesome vid. I'm excited for this vid to update since enshrouded just had a big drop.

[@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?

[@Pratfallofficial]

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

[@Pratfallofficial]

Love this idea!!

[@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.

[@khaldaeras7038]

You guys are great! Love the channel

[@Pratfallofficial]

Thank you so much!

[@accidrainn]

No, the glider thing is the shortcut button for the glider... Reassigable .. ;) Which I'm not sure if they have implemented yet ! But, I do agree you need to be prepared by bringing your lower level glider 😂

[@jupiterthree5228]

That's what I thought. I can't tell you how many times I have died/fallen off because of glide being on SPACE when I just wanted to jump.

[@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.

[@Pratfallofficial]

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

[@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

[@Pratfallofficial]

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

[@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.

[@Chaddicus_Maximus]

Best devs ever.

[@lordwellingtonthethird8486]

Is the glider button to stop you accidentally gliding when jumping.

[@Pratfallofficial]

We believe it’s gonna be a button to quick switch between gliders :)

[@TheBear0769]

Quick question: Have they announced when it will be coming to consoles? I am patiently waiting. OK, not really. lol

Don’t quote me on this, but I think they’re planning on the first quarter of next year. :)

@@Pratfallofficial I hope so. I want to play and not just watch. By the way, I really like your content. Keep up the good work.

[@bobobserver8990]

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]

Ferndale and Westcott were completely reworked. Hillock was turned from a tent camp into a ruined fortress. Willow Crush and Fort Kelvin were turned from a couple ruined buildings into entire towns. There are more I've forgotten.

[@bobobserver8990]

@@justinh4364 I'm surprised Willow Crush changed so much. Then again being more of a survivor and less of a fighter resulted in me not exploring much beyond the area close to the bridge until recently. Was surprised it had a pack of skellies in its basement.

That’s about 10 years old right? I don’t think it’s fair to hold a decade old game against them, especially when they’re a small indie team. They’ve clearly come a long way.

[@CoperliteConsumer]

​@@Pratfallofficialno 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. Reminds me of baulders gate 3 where they set a deadline, hit each one, took in feedback and stayed cool with the comunity al the way till the last update. Thisis actually pretty rare. I really think these devs understand how cool their context voxel engine realy is and they seem to understand whats really in modern gamers desire for a survival crafting game which tells me they probably play the game themselves. All in all this is a must support team imo

[@justinh4364]

Back to the Shroud had 3 new blocks-- brick-timbered, plaited wood, and mixed sandstone. (Edit: Just realized I have my patches mixed up. These blocks were Melodies patch.)

[@justinh4364]

I am thrilled with the progress Keen has made with their updates. I'm wishing for more placeable items, especially in relation to farming, and maybe some more farmable plants like pumpkins or something. But I understand they're working on bigger items right now and I need to be patient.

[@Pratfallofficial]

@@justinh4364 We were about to respond mentioning the melodies of the mire blocks when we saw your edit! Ahaha, and yes we can't agree more. No developer has EVER matched Keen's dedication and consistency with releasing new content! Pumpkins would be great, especially if we get the next update around Halloween

[@ColourShyft]

Post processing - in a nutshell, it makes things look better. Dull things given shinier effects (like a candle will have a better glow), softer edges (instead of a rigid line). Stuff like that.

[@cindyplaza9861]

do we have an idea on the release window for consoles ?

[@Pratfallofficial]

Nothing official, Keen games have said they want full release within a year of early access release, so we’d expect by late January (hopefully)

[@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.

[@Pratfallofficial]

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.

Nah, that’s understandable! I can’t get into certain games for the same reason, it’s just down to preference. Thanks for watching anyway :)

[@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....

[@Pratfallofficial]

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.

[@drlaackenstein]

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