Live Developer Q&A │ July 2, 2024

[@carthius]

i mean no disrespect but with the way that picture on the thumb nail is done, color and angle. I thought it was a picture of Voldemort!!

[@fallensky7]

haha i thought it was a Dune 2 screenshot for a second

[@raphaelmartinez9500]

I thought Voldermort too lol

[@ZiProphet]

As did I.

[@fallensky7]

That was a lovely dodge to the question of what the vision for the complete endgame looks like.

[@THELIONMAN7]

Cry more Guy who makes no sense

[@ElvyHeartsong]

Proudly Played 300+ hours with the love of my life. Love this game! Can't wait to see what's next, eh. Waves to all who help others in the Vaults and a huge thank you!

[@lounatic8369]

timestomps please!

[@shawns4354]

Only 13 comments after 9hrs. Such a shame. The game looked so cool but has such a small player base now. I was hoping to come back to it in a year or two and now it seems it may not last that long.

[@mycterism]

I too require there to be a certain number of youtube comments on a developer commentary video before I allow myself to enjoy a game

[@Supayone]

The player base sitsd aroudn 50+ and epic platform is never included. They sold decent but no one is coming back until new biomes and other things are added.

[@shawns4354]

Even Icarus did better than this and that was a shit show.

[@Wombats555]

Thanks guys. The timestamp links on the last Q&A would make this much easier to digest if you do get the time. I am 360 hours in an between the audio and lack of timestamps this is incomprehensible. Having everything mic'ed up on Teams/Zoom would be better at conveying information. I put down Elden Ring and my second run of BG3 for Nightingale - don't undersell yourselves! I'm still giddy over Grappling Hook climbing picks :) Weeee!

[@Wombats555]

Wow once it gets going this has heaps of great info - I'm not seeing it filtering through to Reddit and Discord, though. You really need at least dot points if not timestamps.

[@edgarrice]

I understand that at a startup money is tight, but is there any way you can purchase a clip-on mic for each of the team? We've had several of these now and the same audio problems keep happening. Either that or go with a text format.

[@SarabaL1]

I AGREE.. PLEASE fix the Mic issues.

[@Kzaix]

True, I want to hear what they are saying. But the sound is barely audible >.

[@Rei-internet-fox]

The problem isn't just the mic. The software you guys use for this call has a built-in noise cancellation, and it thinks that the sounds of people talking is background noise, since they're far from the microphone. Bjorn's voice is low so he tends to cut out the most because the software probably thinks it's just some low humming rather than an actual voice. If you can figure out a way to turn off that noise cancellation, or as somebody else suggested, get some clip on microphones or even some podcaster microphones that would really help a lot. Otherwise these are really difficult to watch/listen to since it cuts out so much.

[@jones9664]

Good on your son for starting with a real job. I grew up on a dairy farm and credit that when I get complimented on my work ethic as a journeyman grade electrician

[@NRV0]

Thumbnail made me think someone died lol

[@dungeonsanddioramas8068]

I thought it was a spoof version of Voldemort

[@Ringer-53]

Don't even play this game but saw the thumbnail and thought it was a Harkonnen 💀

[@shawns4354]

Jeez, the audio is crap. Give us more professional QnA's.

[@SarabaL1]

I couldnt hear hardly anything the devs said. Crossing fingers there will be a written Transcript? :(

[@grumpygramps]

Yeah, audio was awful at start.

[@grumpygramps]

Good to hear these updates and vision. I’d love to know if/when there will be any Steam Deck optimisation. I play offline on Steam Deck and love it, but it’s a definitely not optimised and often (perhaps 1 time in 2 jumps) crashes when I change realm via a portal.

[@MamaJava]

14:00 Rapiers or Sword/Cane Swords, pretty please? 🥹

[@PUZZLER]

Loved the thumbnail guy in Dune

[@charneb2267]

I'm waiting for dyes to be added. I stopped playing after 410 hours, just because I hit a wall with my build. I want to look cool and have amazing stats at the same time, I want to have several looks and loadouts, but currently I just am not enjoying the limited colour palette, awful patterns, and the fact that the mats with the best stats just aren't my style.

[@Ares999999999]

He-who-shall-not-be- named! 😮

[@XoloQueue]

I think it would be cool to host a public tea party in my abeyance realm. LOL

[@ZiProphet]

Oof, the Audio in the beginning.

[@linearburn8838]

self hosted servers please

[@killer6088]

Please get a better mic or something. I could only understand half of what was being said. Maybe get a mic for each person, but it was really bad.

[@noahthpirate]

Love that you all do these! More stuff to do and more difficulty with repeatable end game content is what will get me back in! I love this game... but I definitely hit a wall in terms of vaults being to easy, no real progression left, and a lack of in game social features. I'm confident in your direction though and am excited to see the next few big steps forward! STOKED for new biomes as well :D

[@leonidasvonsparta]

I started playing last week, just a couple of hours (like 8-10) Maybe its just me but the menues are a little confusing for my brain😅 Would be awesome if u work on controller support in the future. it's working so far but needs some improvements. In the hand crafting Menue with controller the highlighted cursor on the words disappearing often wich is super annoying, if that makes Sense. Also had problems with the Tutorial because i couldnt accept text sometimes and had to walk over to my pc (im playing on my couch) and had to confirm with Mouse. Also climbing is a bit clunky and often its not working properly as someone would expect it to work. The zipping mid air is fun, like that a lot. The game has great potential, hope u improve these parts and get more content out in time.

[@joshuawarnock478]

I'll ask again even though you more than likely don't care and won't respond but whatever. When will Nightingale release on consoles? You could at least put it on Xbox via the game preview program.

[@Guema-Flo]

Thanks for this Q&A !

[@MischieviousMakers]

I left due to a lack of Fae in a supposedly Fae inspired world. The [thankfully] short use of AI voicework and script writing within the beta also soured things, the lifeless npcs are horrid, and really the weird mobs that still dont relate one bit to the fae.... You have developed a game of Altered Dimensions. Not of Fae inspiriation. Watching the Video, I could have given the whole spiel as everyone was about as vague as that thing in that spot over somewhere around an area. They gave no real specifics. As a Celt.. as someone with Fae history... I can honestly say you suck at this current point. Until you do better, I will not talk better of ya. Fix EVERYTHING. This Q and A felt like a political Shit show of avoidance.
