 What's up everybody, I'm TheMangoose, you are awesome and recently Undyne Games has been having impromptu community corners where the founders and several members of the development team will hang out in their Discord voice chat and answer questions from the community. I was able to record most of the first ones so I'm going to go ahead and summarize many of the questions and answers. Be sure to join their Discord and keep an eye out for people dogpiling the voice chat if you have some questions of your own. So let's get to this Q&A. The question, how will the item system work? Item system will be open so you can build what you want on whomever you want. I think this is probably for the best. While I thought Paragon's item system was unique and forced decisions from the player, it was an overall turn off to people coming into Paragon from other games. It's the main reason it never gained traction with many of the more popular content creators which led Paragon to gain a little less attention than it probably deserved. The question, when will all of the class passives be released? The answer was a bit cryptic. They said the upcoming months will be very exciting. They did however confirm that the plan for each myth is to have a passive as well as having the individual class passive. Question, who did the voice lines? Answer, Tricolorstar uses voice actors outside of the company. The voice lines that have been released are just a sample of what they have. Each myth will have a little over 200 voice lines which will make for like a half an hour video. They just wanted to provide enough voice lines to show that there will be interactions between the myths as well as lines for many of the actions. They also don't want to give away too much information as many of the lines contain spoilers. Question, Golden question here, will the game be on PS4? Answer, it is definitely planned for console. There is still debate whether they want to have crossplay or not. It could be an option where people can choose to make crossplay available. I personally have my fingers crossed for crossplay. Question, was the schedule for the alpha? Answer, the alpha will be available for a certain amount of time and then it will go down for updates. They will repeat this while adding more myths to the alpha. This is the test not only the game but also the patch system. If everything goes well with the servers they will be increasing slots as they go. They will start with 2000 slots. Question, will there be lore related skins? Answer, yes, Noxus, the lore lead pushes for that a lot. Question, are there going to be founder benefits? Answer, yes, they can't reveal what's all involved but they will be selling more than just the key. There will be more than just the basic $20 buy-in for the pre-alpha. There will be other tiers of founder packs that will include other perks. Question, in the future will you have event skins in cosmetics? For instance like Halloween? And will you allow those cosmetics to be earnable or will you have to purchase them? The answer, short answer absolutely there will be things that you can earn in the game. They are very big on having stuff in the game that is not just earned by buying stuff with money. They want people to earn things by enjoying the game. Question, will there be loot boxes? Answer, absolutely not. They feel it's just a way to rip people off and they don't want to do that. Question, how will you monetize your heroes in-game currency or with real money? Answer is both. They will not lock any myths behind real money transactions. If you can buy it with real money you can buy it with in-game currency acquired through playing. They don't want to do like Genesis did and lock somebody behind money. They also have a free hero rotation like many of the other games. Question, will player progress be reset during or after the alpha? Answer, they don't want to reset a player's progression but if it's something that needs to happen due to issues with the game they will do it. Question, how many ranks in the ranking system and where are they going to be called? The answer this is not something they can reveal at this time but they do plan for eventual ranked mode when the number of available myths allow for it. Question, how do they plan to release skins by popularity of the myth or on a schedule? Answer, they will do their best not to leave any myths behind. They know how it is when your favorite hero never gets any skins while others seem to get them all the time. They also plan for each skin to be a true cosmetic change not just a color variation. Question, is there going to be blood in the game? Answer, it depends on what region you play in. If your region allows for it then yes. Question, will there be auto lock abilities? The answer is maybe. They don't want to have any auto lock abilities but if it's something that makes sense then you know they're going to do it. Question, will there be AOE stuns? Answer, yes. Question, how many game modes will there be? Answer, there's only going to be one game mode in the alpha but if the game proves to be very popular then they will add more. Question, will there be custom lobbies? Answer, yes. Question, is there a sign up for pre-alpha? Answer, not yet. They will be sure to give everyone advanced notice before alpha sign ups go live. Question, will there be training grounds on release? Answer, no. The sandbox requires too many tools of program and right now they are focused on creating the game. It's something they plan for the future. Question, what has been happening with fan created myths that are posted in discord? Answer, they do look at them from time to time but they haven't been officially reviewed. Question, will all of the myths be humanoid or will there be beast type myths? Answer, they plan to have a variety of body types for their myths. This is already evidence in Nikolai who is very small and Grognark who is large and quadrupedal. Question, will the initial myths be easy to play in order to gather alpha data? No, a few of the myths will be difficult to play, they want to have some time to think about it. Question, will the initial myths be easy to play in order to gather alpha data? No, a few of the myths will be difficult to play, they want to have some high risk high reward myths. Question, will the initial myths be easy to play, they want to have some high risk high reward myths? So this was some of the questions that came out during that little impromptu community corner. As I said, just hang out in their discord and you can ask them questions at any time. It's not like you have to reserve your questions specifically for when they're all hanging out in chat. It's just fun to get together with other fans of the game and kind of hang out and bullshit with the founders and some of the members of the dev team. So I encourage all of you to do so but for now, this is the mangueu signing off. You guys have a good one.
