00:01:49
Speaker
Hey, that is
New Help Chat Staff Dynamics
00:01:50
Speaker
how it goes. Sometimes the guard passes and new blood comes in and old blood gets lazy. yep what Oh, wow. I mean, we're all a little, you know, we all get there.
00:02:06
Speaker
I'm sorry, I couldn't help it. You get moved to play some behind-the-scenes stuff sometimes, and then you know cant you kind of fall off of the the chat stuff. I would never say this to their face, ever, but Nixabel and Dorphy are doing a really good job as Newstead.
00:02:21
Speaker
I would never tell them that. Who who are they again? Are those just like little tiny farmhands? Yeah. those people you know they're They're insignificant, but... it no we We love them. It's fine. We do.
00:02:34
Speaker
They're wonderful people. Beautiful people. Beautiful, beautiful. Oh, yeah. Don't just just start singing Marilyn Manson. Perfect. um Anyway, hope you guys.
00:02:46
Speaker
Yeah, well, you know, my mom's going to come after me for Marilyn Manson. I don't know. I feel like he's kind of like pretty tame now. Right.
Hosts' Rambling Tendencies
00:02:55
Speaker
Weirdly enough. Yes. Yeah.
00:02:58
Speaker
It's fine. so we invited casey and Luna on the podcast to keep us from going too far into the ramble mode. Yeah. We tend to ramble. so Well, we get Gabby. Yeah, we do. We get very Gabby. Like, especially when we haven't talked for two months, like, like over, you know, voice. So we get very Gabby. So when they interject and they tell us to shut up, that's because we asked them to, guys. I would never do such thing.
00:03:27
Speaker
feel like you would love to do that horse apples o horse hockey even p so yeah Someone said horse apples one time to be like appropriate in a meeting and it's stuck with me and i love it. It is the most ridiculous way to call someone out just to be like horse apples. Oh, horse
Swear Jar and Community Involvement
00:03:50
Speaker
apples. Yeah. oh like ah Instead of saying BS, I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to add to the swear jar. Speaking of the swear jar, we do we do have the we do have the new swear jar winner, which is they are getting 500 of your gold.
00:04:04
Speaker
ah and I don't know if you remember saying that, but I wrote it down it on the Switch. so in In my defense, after I've done the podcast, it all just goes whoop out of my mind. It's just, I've done the podcast, I'm on to whatever is next.
00:04:21
Speaker
I don't remember giving up 500 gold, but I think I will honor whatever past Force Path said because he screwed future Force Path. yeah If you read Spoilers Chat, you made at least that much from insider trading before the new PSA quest came out. so Oh, I mean, there was insider trading?
00:04:41
Speaker
i don't know. Apparently, that's what everybody on the street is saying. Oh, my God. I didn't realize you were like that. Yes. Are you playing the stock market? I play the farm RPG stock market, guys. I write quests that don't use tradable items, and I profit.
00:04:58
Speaker
Yeah, profit. Pure profit, baby. You're going to make that gold that mostly moneyless you. Hey, so who made the swear jar, though, for real life, that is getting 500 of my hard-earned gold? It's technically 710 total. So 210 from budget, and then 500 it's 710.
00:05:11
Speaker
That's probably the biggest we've had. so two hundred and ten from the from the budget and then five hundred from you so it's seven hundred and ten that's like probably the biggest swear jar we've had
Season Two Announcement and Updates Overview
00:05:24
Speaker
because of you. Thank you. Maybe we should find a way to make it even bigger this time. I think the next time, I don't know what we're going to do, but we we can make it bigger. we i say winner Did I miss it? who's No, I haven't. We're beating our rambling. This is a preamble, which has rambles in it. here because you have to give us on task Anyway, it's Hosta, which is H-O-S-T-A, Hosta. I love Hosta. Hosta is wonderful.
00:05:50
Speaker
they just Their comment on the swear jar was just, hello, question mark, and I just loved that. i I laughed when I counted counted out. Also, it was number... You were number 59.
00:06:04
Speaker
Comment 59 out of 71. We had a lot of comments on it this month. Yeah. written So you had a 1 in 71 chance of winning. boom You know, yeah pretty good odds. Also, sincerely, Hasa is a very cool person. Hangs out in help chat. Yeah.
00:06:19
Speaker
And it's just pretty neat. i don't haves nine them I don't hang out in any chat right now, but. Well, you haven't hung out chat in any chat for a long time. And I think that needs to change.
00:06:30
Speaker
I got to get back in there. get it back in. and You know, peek in a staff chat like once a day. was chatting in spoilers like two days ago. It was fun. We were talking about Homestuck.
00:06:43
Speaker
Anyway.
00:06:46
Speaker
Uh, yeah. So, Hosta, actually, I'm going to have you message Force Path for that because it's mostly his gold. So, reach out to Force Path. Can the budget send me the 200? 210 you can get. The budget will fulfill you for that. I'll send that over.
00:07:02
Speaker
But, yes. um Reach out. Get your 710 gold. And ten and touch grace touch Grace. Reach out and touch Grace. Correct. So that's that. um ah Also, here's another thing. i i don't think I forgot to mention it when we started, but I'm technically calling this season two since we took like two months off.
00:07:21
Speaker
This is season two, even though it's episode 19. Isn't that fun? I think that's kind of fun. Well, it's not actually episode 19. It's episode one, season two, episode one. Oh, yeah. That's true. So it's technically there's 18 episodes in the last season. So we got 18 more episodes to go in the season.
00:07:34
Speaker
Or technically 17 more episodes to go in the season. All right. Anyway, that was that. Where's Luna to correct me?
Game Updates and New Features
00:07:40
Speaker
So i'm yeah she's the math, she's the math whiz. She can do the math whiz. She'd be the one correcting us. Basic edition.
00:07:48
Speaker
I don't know if we can go over literally every update since the last time, but we can do like a brief overview of everything that's kind of come out. Cause otherwise it's like so much. So, and we should have our guest star of the episode, Koala Corgi, go over. Yeah, Koala Corey, go ahead. Give us like um breakdown of the last two months. In October through December, the handful of things that came out were Halloween pets. I loved a lot of those. I did not buy most of them. because Halloween pets came out in Christmas. We need Christmas. We need need Christmas. December and January-ish. Okay, so we had a Christmas game now.
00:08:27
Speaker
Was that out? I have no idea. That was brand new. lot of quality of life updates. A lot of mailbox performance issues were put in in December. The new adventure.
00:08:39
Speaker
Was that one after the last? I don't remember, but sure. Let's talk about it. The Jills. court maybe That was for Halloween. That was for Halloween. Yeah. Once again, it came out of my brain after it was done.
00:08:53
Speaker
Yeah, I was not ready to go through the update notes. for before yeah well it's Before we go on ah if you are playing Farm RPG, go check our Discord. In spoilers, Wade made that corn maze in Minecraft with all of the text and all of the interactables with...
00:09:14
Speaker
a bonus at the end after you complete it. It is super cool. Yeah, it is cool. Watch the video. I didn't even know that. i yeah Wade is Wade. It looks awesome. And I hope that he does more.
00:09:27
Speaker
Yeah. Wade. Wade's great. Big claps to Wade. Just glaze Wade right now. Number one. Number one, Dollywood lover, Wade. It's true.
00:09:39
Speaker
It is true. Loves Dollywood. I love getting... Wade will sometimes DM me just pictures from Dollywood and it's it's wonderful. i love that. Anyway, yes. ah So, yeah, a lot of stuff happened in the last two months. Going over all of it would be a lot. um Would be folly. I know, I think we did talk about Nyxabel and Dorfee, but I don't know if we talked about Black Widow getting promo to Ranger.
00:10:07
Speaker
yeahp um Love. So that's the thing that happened. ah There was a new bottle head for Santa, which you've missed. Sorry, FOMO. um There were some... We had frozen fishing. We had the Santa thing. We had the Yule Cat. We had some temples.
00:10:23
Speaker
We had the snowball fight. Guys, we kept your September... ah September, your December my god, I'm really going back. we It's like we've completely lost everything.
00:10:35
Speaker
Just wiped, wiped with a clean slate. Your brain is a like just flat. Absolutely. And so now that we're in January, it's Luna's turn. Luna, oh tell us what's going on in January. Don't tell me that you haven't been keeping up with script here that we so meticulously planned out. Guys, we don't have a script. yeah Well, January is the start of frozen crop season, which is January and February. So all the previous frozen crops came back and frozen hops were the new addition to the growing this time. So now there's a million things to grow and not enough plots to grow them in.
00:11:20
Speaker
Mm-hmm. What if you just press the random button and grow random props? That is so illegal. It makes me uncomfortable. You even suggest it. Let's just get good.
00:11:31
Speaker
I'm told that the random crop button is more popular than I realize. It's something I'm trying to figure out how to measure. But is it an accident? Because sometimes people so why but had that set to like plant fastest. They think it makes their crop plant faster. And they would try to plant something else and be like, I don't understand. It's just planting peppers, even though I select something else. That question happens at least once a week in health chat.
00:11:59
Speaker
Yeah, so like, are you sure that they're not just doing it accidentally and they never knew? guys just so you know, Koala Corgi measures occurrences by how many times a thing happened in help chat, whereas we measure that is how many times anything happens in spoilers chat, which is why it never happens.
00:12:18
Speaker
It doesn't happen in spoilers chat. and I prefer the newbies and those that want to further their farming experience, not those that are withered and wilted and angry about how much they want. Spoilers is way different now Spoilers is so different.
00:12:40
Speaker
It really is. i think they would appreciate these things. Oh, they might. There's like the old guard that really like, you know, they like love that. But there's more new people in there now. Like I was in there the other day and I didn't recognize half the people chatting. because you're never in chat anymore.
00:12:57
Speaker
Listen, I'm always reading. reflection you, not a reflection of the chat. I'm always reading. It's literally up on an iPad right here all day. i just don't say anything because my day job is insane right now. i'd Listen.
00:13:09
Speaker
I can't get into it, but... We started down this list with Luna telling us about how we don't have too many crops to grow, and I just wanted to second that, because maybe either more plots or more ways to whining to me. Why don't you get some more money in there? Get a couple of more plots in.
00:13:25
Speaker
little balance whining going on here in chat, guys. Don't worry. We deal with it from staff, too. It's not just you. When was the last time that a buff to regularly growing crops has been?
00:13:38
Speaker
Very, very very soon
00:13:43
Speaker
Spoiler. Yeah. ah Hey, that's something to look out for. ah Enjoy that spoiler. It might start with the word veggie and end with juice.
00:13:54
Speaker
Anyways, after we had the ice crops, I know we have some Frozen Hops quests that have come out and more are in the pipeline. ah Sponsored by our dear friend and wonderful writer, Tenfu. So keep your eye out for ice, icy, and icy...
00:14:12
Speaker
ah That's some more spoilers for you. We also had come out in January. You could get specific items to Townsfolk, which are typically lore-related items. Very cool.
00:14:25
Speaker
ah Not necessarily always... the most useful thing to give, but we, you know, add a little bit of flavor here, a little bit of making townsfolk easier there, a good time. Some of them are very significantly impactful. so Some of them are, some of them aren't. That's what makes it fun. Check out the townsfolk specific mailable items library.
00:14:45
Speaker
Yes, which is currently highlighted in spoilers and help chat. Help chat's so helpful, guys. I go there when I have questions about how to play the game.
00:14:57
Speaker
i'm not Do you get you have questions often about how to play the game that you help make? So much more than you would ever expect. Okay. I guess I'm just like i'm just playing it like the most inefficient way ever.
00:15:11
Speaker
i know I'm surrounded by people who play if very efficiently, I guess. so Don't you dare accuse me of playing efficiently. Yeah.
00:15:20
Speaker
So after that, we had the Roomba's Nest come into beta, which is something i am really excited about. Firestream and Hensaz worked on this. What Roomba's Nest is, for those of you who may have missed it in the update, it is currently a beta feature.
00:15:38
Speaker
And what it does is during reset, it will do certain tasks for you. Some of the tasks include petting all of your pets, So good. Using the storehouse.
00:15:51
Speaker
um Petting your raptors. Farmhouse. What's that? Oh, yeah. There you go. So you just have to deposit things that use energy and then it will do it until you run out of energy. Super useful.
00:16:07
Speaker
Everyone has a different use case. Of course, I'll tell you my personal use case. I don't play a lot on the weekends. It's very easy for me to forget ah to do like um It's very easy for me to to forget to rest um or use a storehouse. And so i had I just make sure every Friday that I fill it up with energy and then it does it for me even if I don't have a chance to play over the weekend so I don't miss upgrades. Definitely my easily my favorite thing that we've added recently. Absolutely love it. ah You can use it now in beta. Eventually we will take this to the live game, but we have uncovered number of bugs, some performance challenges that we're working through, which is why we use beta in the first place.
00:16:52
Speaker
So you are interested in getting beta for us, you know that's one of the perks that you'd have right now. It rules. i i do love I do love Roomba. so As somebody that like i sometimes just completely forget to do those like farm tasks.
00:17:08
Speaker
come I just don't remember. just i've saved my bacon so many times, literally. I just, I love it. So I can't sing its praises enough. Great job to the former RPG dev team, which I take no credit. will say, because it has come up in chat a bunch, it is entirely optional. If you're somebody that loves to still do those chores, you don't have to engage with it. Would you say that comes up in health chat a lot? It does, man. Like, you give a frequency? It has come up in help chat a couple times, sometimes in beta chat. But, you know, that is the beauty of it is if you don't find the energy cost worth it, you don't have to. But for those that want, you know, a handful of extra less clicks per day and one less thing to think about, or you're like Force Path you know, you take a couple days off over the weekend, you can keep doing those actions and not have to worry about it.
New Game Zone: Sinking Swamps
00:17:54
Speaker
Heresy, understand. So after Room Assess, we announced ah the Sinking Swamps, which will be the newest zone in Farm RPG, something that's a long time coming.
00:18:09
Speaker
It's been in the works forever. It's been in the works for longer than you realized. Before I joined the game. Yeah. Yeah. so we ah fooled you guys. We said we're only working on QOL in January, but actually we're working on both QOL and some new content.
00:18:27
Speaker
ah Very exciting stuff. There's a new item in there that I did give Koala Corgi permission to spoil. So go ahead and do your best spoiler for us.
00:18:40
Speaker
It is maybe the best item, in my opinion, that has ever been added Final Fantasy. And it comes back to my childhood, where I had one of these that I wore as a kid.
00:18:55
Speaker
And I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. You would, honestly. That tracks for you. it does track. all The last spoiler I'll give, which I'm sure you'll be able to guess it and you'll know it when it comes out, is as a kid, i always imagined it would let me fly.
00:19:13
Speaker
Yeah. Didn't we all? Didn't we all? So, sinking swamps. ah In Alpha right now, we've made a ton of progress on that over the last couple of weeks.
00:19:25
Speaker
A lot of art getting added There will be so many new craftables for you guys to craft. um It will be a later game edition. So it's a really good way for you to kind of get into Farm RPG and then also have something to really look forward to farther on in your journey.
00:19:44
Speaker
So very excited about it. Am I safe to say that this might be the biggest drop of total number of new craftables in one go in like years and years?
00:20:00
Speaker
Yeah, I would
Performance Improvements for Non-US Players
00:20:01
Speaker
say that we have not dropped 40 plus crafts all at once before. We've added a number of crafts um at the beginning of the game, but nothing quite like this like during...
00:20:15
Speaker
So it's definitely going to be new and different and hopefully a lot of fun. Lots to do. lot of things to do once it all drops. So that's cool. Very exciting.
00:20:29
Speaker
and you did like cut off make one small misspeak earlier. It is not a new zone. It is new zones. Listen, I'm trying to leave some spoilers. Hey, that's on the update notes. You're just missing it.
00:20:44
Speaker
listen It says zones there. yeah It says check out thats the new sinking swamp zones. Yes, I'm aware. This is what I deal with, guys. if i if If I say a single thing wrong, i got Luna and KC right here.
00:21:00
Speaker
Luna's been really good. she hasn't She hasn't interrupted you one time. Which she should be. She's just nicer. She's nicer, yeah. Alright. I'll take it.
00:21:12
Speaker
I adhere to the no misinformation code of conduct. Very strict. Listen, if if it's... if if it's but Open bracket. Open bracket. We're not misinforming. We're just kind of... Move on enforcement and do whatever they want. Close bracket. Close bracket.
00:21:28
Speaker
That is the... the What's it called? That's the library page that lets us do anything we want. It's because we're allowed. We have a permit. here We have a permit.
00:21:38
Speaker
All right. all right Yeah.
Technical Difficulties and Humor
00:21:44
Speaker
I think also there's like been some like very good performance upgrades that have made things faster for people not in the United States. So if you've noticed that sort of thing, you can you can thank the guys up top because they did some good work there. They've been working hard. They've been working very hard.
00:22:02
Speaker
So many changes. Lots of stuff. Multiple weeks worth of just constant improvements in... in reset and and just daily performance, page load, everything.
00:22:14
Speaker
it's for Even for me, who's relatively close to the server, it feels noticeably smooth. Would you say snappy? Yes, definitely snappy.
00:22:26
Speaker
I would snap for you, but I cannot snap because my thumbs go straight backwards in a a natural way. Oh, so you're a freak is what you're trying to tell me.
00:22:37
Speaker
I didn't use that word, but it's probably accurate. Okay. You're going to get us in trouble for saying that, Poo Button. What? No. It's a joke. To have a hypermobile appendage?
00:22:51
Speaker
You're fine. i have My elbows bend backwards. We're all right. I'm also a freak.
00:23:00
Speaker
It's true! Guys, we're rambling. i need i need i need someone to calm down. Anyway, what else is good? So we've won that's the updates. We've gone through all the updates.
00:23:11
Speaker
Yeah, half an hour into the podcast. that is that That's 23 minutes, so it's not a half hour yet. Anyway, I'm getting into the semantics of it all. like You want to go over some questions? Did you did you ask the man the questions? I did, i did. Did he get so back to you?
00:23:30
Speaker
I apologize. I got distracted by someone messaging me in Discord. I should not have Discord open. No, and you should not. But here I am having the Discord open on the podcast. Will you all forgive me? here You can blame Luna. It was Luna. It wasn't Luna. No, don't put Luna on blast. It was me.
00:23:52
Speaker
oh God. oh so I was worried. was worried. that The audio wasn't recording, but it is. It's fine. Okay. I thought the audio wasn't recording because you aren't talking. So your line isn't moving.
00:24:07
Speaker
yeah No, no. When everyone's talking, only your line has little picture of waveforms for me and everyone else's is flat this whole time. no No, that's weird. I assume that's just ah something that looks stupid for me, but I've just been sitting here staring at it for 10 minutes while you guys have been talking. like, we're going to have to redo the whole podcast. that It's not working.
00:24:29
Speaker
Welcome to anxiety. Yeah, no, I get it. Anxiety. That would be a really, really boring podcast if only my audio was coming. know. So I had to just message for that. I was like, I know it's going to make a giant ba-doop of the Discord, but he's going to see it and it'll either...
00:24:48
Speaker
We'll either fix it or it's fine. And it's just totally fine. and Everything is a okay. We are professional podcasters. We had a plan. We had a script. We're celebrities. We know what we're doing. We got celebrities on the podcast. Celebrities really understand how recording works. That's the whole point. You guys are doing the role of the celebrity. We don't have to worry about those things.
00:25:11
Speaker
Are we? You know, it is it's it is what it is. Hey, if we had to re-record it, at least we'd probably be more streamlined than we are right now. You've had the highlights already. ah But yeah.
00:25:25
Speaker
Have we ever had to re-record before? No, never. jinx says so I don't need to be jinxed at the moment for a re-record. um So, let's not even over. I feel like re-recording would would kill the vibes.
00:25:41
Speaker
Yeah. I already already thought through the whole scenario. I was like 12 years into the future. So guys, if you were wondering where Luna went, of course she was recording the podcast again for us in her mind. and yeah i was i was already taking care of the worst case scenario that wasn't actually happening.
00:26:01
Speaker
That's what we have you here for. yeah We're grateful for that. and and that's what i'm here for Honestly, if it wasn't recording, we would probably put it off another month. It's just you know, just it'll, the season two starts in February. yeah Yeah, you get us back in February. It's probably going to come up in February right now.
Dev Q&A: Listener Questions
00:26:20
Speaker
This is going to be February. That's why. Oh, right.
00:26:22
Speaker
Then March. Yeah, so it would have been March. I just love that we all know each other so well. We were just going to be like, well, we got to record. Screw it, guys. We're going to work. Goodbye. Going back to Animal Crossing. See ya.
00:26:36
Speaker
Okay, i think I think where we were going before we derail all of that is Force Path had questions. Oh, yeah. You're going to open up the questions. bureau Oh, yeah. and I need to do that that segment, too, where I explain a mechanic. But again, because we have an incredible plan, i didn't do that. ah so right that the What was the acronym? Do you still have it?
00:27:01
Speaker
Okay. I was going to say, if you have the acronym, it'd be funny for you to say out the acronym again have people guess it again. No, someone got like right really, really close. Someone like got like really, really, really close. don't It's in my Google Docs somewhere.
00:27:16
Speaker
but we need I haven't opened this. I haven't opened this Google Docs since August. Do you guys think I'm a really good planner? Yeah, I think you are. It's great. Yes. so So the title is Force Path Admin and Quest Rider. What does he know? Does he know things? Let's find out.
00:27:32
Speaker
That was the whole thing. So anyways, ah we did. ah we were going to put this in Reddit, ah but we didn't. for whatever reason, but we did put it in chat um and it's on the chat pages right now. We made a wiki page called Dev Q&A, podcast Dev Q&A where you could ask us the devs. um We filtered some questions up to the big man himself, Firestream, and um ask us a couple questions and we can answer them to the best of our abilities. And since we have celebrities on the podcast,
00:28:09
Speaker
those celebrities can answer some questions too. who So I'm going to just going to, we're just going to go through a couple of them. There were a lot of questions here. i picked out about 10, 12 them.
00:28:21
Speaker
And I figured we'd go through them real quick and don't have to have like some crazy. I also have some answers from Firestream. um I sent him some. He got me back some answers so we can go through that, too. And ah I think ah maybe we'll convince Belligan to make like a podcast Q&A thing at some point, because you know, kind of like tea time.
00:28:44
Speaker
Something we continuously do. We're going to ah refer back to this. i might i mean we I don't know how we can get rid of comments that we've already answered. I don't want to delete them because then I don't want people to answer ask the same question again. but I'll remember. It's just one of those things I know. We'll be continuously looking at this.
00:29:03
Speaker
That's all. I'm just guessing right here is going to be this beautiful that...
00:29:14
Speaker
It sounded amazing. Great job, Bell. Thank you. Thanks, Bell. Thanks for... He's so mad at me. He's probably just going to send me a middle finger and be like, I'm not doing that. A long, disordered note. Which might make it funny. A fart sound. Just put a fart sound in. Yeah, that works. Done. Okay. Anyways, I will go ahead and host a segment for now. I have them all collated. your question either just didn't like it or i skipped it so that i didn't have to answer all of them um if you're upset about that feel free to dm me
Favorite Development Moments
00:29:46
Speaker
and i will either try or tell you i'm not going to answer it um oh also i'm just gonna say this right off top don't ask about mining we're working on it keep asking when mining's coming i'm gonna delay it another day just in this comment section i delayed it five weeks
00:30:03
Speaker
Don't tempt me. It's coming out when it's ready. It's coming when it's ready. We'll be there when we get there. my dady Don't make us turn this Farmer PG around. Okay. But when is Manny coming?
00:30:17
Speaker
yeah yeah if Do you want me to disconnect him? Because I can. We'll just mute him. I'm a man of the people. I have to. you're You're a man of something, but I don't know if I would say man of the people. More like heel to force path.
00:30:33
Speaker
um that's true anyways um the very first question that we got which made me laugh was does fp love me by vespucci uh which i'm sure i'm pronouncing incorrectly the answer to that question is absolutely i love you specifically a lot think i even said we loved them when i wrote the thing It's like in the the writing of the of the library page. But this one, i think everyone here answer. Actually, you're wrong here.
00:31:02
Speaker
They did not ask if you loved them. They asked if the FP library page, which is Fruit Pump, loved them. That can't show love. It's a library page.
00:31:14
Speaker
well I don't know. sure to I'm interpreting it because I'm a narcissist that it was to me. So anyways, um this next question, though, Everyone can answer, and I'd love to hear everyone else's answer. And the question was, what do you love most about Farm RPG? Or what has been your favorite moment thing to work on during development by Farmer Rhea S?
00:31:37
Speaker
I thought it was a really good question.
00:31:41
Speaker
In fact, I probably should have asked Firestream this question, but I didn't. That's okay. You can ask him next time. This will be on the segment of probably again. But I'm going to answer. I'm just going to say i i like i like to the pets I like to do the pets.
00:31:55
Speaker
Personally, that was my favorite thing to do. I liked redrawing every single pet. That was like a dream scenario to be able to do that. And when he was just like, go get him, tiger. i was like, let's go. So I really liked doing those.
00:32:09
Speaker
Yeah, I can't get Bubun to draw me anything for my stuff. That's not true. i have drawn you so many things. Don't even start. What about Megatrout? I drew you a Megatrout just for fun, and it wasn't even for the game.
00:32:24
Speaker
I do love the Megatrout. It's going to get in the game, Bubun. I don't think it will. I've tried. I think it will. Tell FFFF and Micho that. I'm sorry. it's No, it's FFFF.
00:32:37
Speaker
They'll never hear this, so... he won't listen it's okay that's true uh what about you two luna what do you love most about farm rpg or is there some time you've been involved in the development that um you really love ah i do enjoy when force path just show up and are like hey what do you think about this thing that that i'm that i'm I'm thinking about doing? And sometimes it's insane. And we're like, whoa, what's going on here? Please explain.
00:33:18
Speaker
um Yeah, it's it's a little chaotic sometimes, but sometimes you're just like, you're just ready to go with something. Chaos. Chaos energy of Force Path.
00:33:30
Speaker
I do also just like making spreadsheets, just, you know. plus i i would say and I was going to be really bummed if you didn't mention all of the spreadsheet work that you've done because you've done a lot for the game.
00:33:42
Speaker
Yeah. I need to do an overhaul of my Luna sheets are like a little sadly neglected. Every now and again, someone will message me in the game and it's like, I love your sheets. And I'm like, oh, I'm so glad that you do. And I feel so bad that I haven't put anything new in them recently.
00:34:02
Speaker
But thank you.
00:34:05
Speaker
So I'll get some extra stuff in there, but, but yeah, I, I, that's, that's really, i have my PSA spreadsheet open right now. That's ah for, for the, the new bulk of quests. That's, that's what I'm here for.
00:34:23
Speaker
Uh, Casey, what about you? Favorite thing about farm RPGs, something you maybe worked on, um that you has, that's been your favorite. It's a hard question. i think the... like i I really enjoy the progression generally.
00:34:39
Speaker
i was very frustrated but excited getting through the last 50 tower levels for sure. i ah like... you know I come from like you know the...
00:34:50
Speaker
the the RuneScape type player background. So like the the grindy type games or or something in my wheelhouse. So I certainly enjoyed that. But I think more recently, I've been especially like the last six months doing a lot more of like the testing and feedback on new stuff, which has been super fun.
00:35:10
Speaker
helping out with like a lot of the alpha stuff. um But other than that, the you know the same thing that Luna mentioned, which is like the Force Path messages you out of the blue with an insane idea with no context to it that you have to take your feedback back on, which devolves into like trying to guess what the real context or where this might fit in to know how to respond to it.
00:35:37
Speaker
i I certainly enjoy that side of it. But I do also just like, in I enjoy playing the game. I enjoy slowly working on masteries while I'm waiting for my pine boards to be crafted in my sawmill to do the next PSA steps. um And I'm excited, especially for all the Sinking Swamp stuff to come out because there is so much stuff.
00:36:01
Speaker
Yes, there is. Surely is. What about you? You have to answer it. Oh, I was really hoping we would avoid me. No, I wasn't going skip you. You have to.
00:36:12
Speaker
I love i would say I have a different perspective, but I love coming up with ideas for the game. um Star map and Pam rats are still something I'm very proud of, even to this day.
00:36:25
Speaker
Something that I spent. hours of just pouring over notes and and data and trying to come up with the perfect story and the perfect requirements and the perfect rewards. um I'm very, very proud of that still.
00:36:41
Speaker
ah Not that other things that I've done that, but that's probably my number one thing, um helping develop the tower um where we go from here. And i mean there's just a lot that I've worked on beyond that, but I would still say that's probably the thing that I, that was my favorite slash proudest thing that ive I do think StarMap PamRads are underrated in just how, in my opinion, perfectly balanced for the stage at which you unlock it and how well the quest requirements fit together.
00:37:15
Speaker
It is miracle that those two quests can be worked on at the same time and in parallel as as well as they can.
Possibility of New Skills
00:37:24
Speaker
I worked very hard to make that happen.
00:37:26
Speaker
Very, very hard. Luna can speak to that ah because she was my main consultant at the time. we i came up with the idea. i wrote the story. I came with the quest and explained what I was trying to do. And Luna was very kind in some of her critiques said suggestions on where I was out of my gourd.
00:37:46
Speaker
So um typically that's what you have people around you for. You can't be perfect all the time, so you rely on other people to make you better. So I'm very grateful for the support group that I have in part. When you see quests come out, it's that's not the first pass. it's never It's not even like the third pass, usually.
00:38:04
Speaker
No. What? I don't know how many times the new PSA quests come over the iteration cycle. Anyways, well, a great question, Farmeria S. Thank you for asking. Lumisad asked, with mining coming out of beta soon, will there be other skills coming at any point, Sue? And if so, what kind?
00:38:26
Speaker
Wonderful question. um Mining is coming out of beta. I'm not going to tell you when because that get push back by another week because you asked it in the question and I'm pointing it out just to flog KC.
00:38:38
Speaker
Otherwise, we do have other ideas in the works. um I can tell you there's at least three. and um we always want to put out new fun mechanics. The challenge is, and we will get to this as well, the challenge is making it fit in both with theme and function within the game without looking too far out of left field, ah which is one of the biggest challenges of mining, right? We are learning how to reintegrate a totally new skill into something that has become wildly intertwined.
00:39:08
Speaker
So the answer to your question is, i don't know, i would would certainly wouldn't say at any point soon, but do we want to? Absolutely. um I won't even give previews because then you might tie me to things that maybe don't happen. But I can promise you there are things that we have discussed.
00:39:25
Speaker
um that we love a lot. It comes up more often than you'd think. So Lumisad, thank you so much for the question. Troc asked, what real life things outside of video games have inspired you inside FarmRPG and any
Developer Inspirations: Real-Life Influences
00:39:43
Speaker
specifics? actually put this one to Firestream ah because I thought it was a really great question. um And Firestream responded, ah one of his main influences for FarmRPG is his family loves to garden in and do woodworking.
00:39:57
Speaker
um So he loves enjoying mapping game ideas to life and with fun and silly twists. And I think that if you look at Farm RPG as a whole, it's very obvious um that's been a big inspiration for him.
00:40:12
Speaker
So, Trock, that's a great question. Thank you for asking. This is a really long question. Hold on. Can we go back? but There is no way you pronounce his name like that. trump that rock that's most of That is the correct pronunciation. opinion i don't I don't. It is. If you if you read, go read, go to his profile right now, Casey, and read his bio.
00:40:35
Speaker
but It's supposed to be like rock. wrong But you can put whatever he wants in his bio. It is not drunk. Okay, so I'm going to remind you, we've had him on the podcast where he's corrected us, and it's on his bio. so You can still be wrong.
00:40:53
Speaker
Listen, I'm going to go on to the next question. yeah You are incorrect. Have a nice day, sir. um be so Good sir. Good day, sir. Unfortunately, I'm with Casey on this one, but... Thank you. know I'm not alone. I'm just the only one brave enough to say something. Um, staff I mispronounce in my head. I also mispronounce in my head. It's Nietzsche and tragedy how track. and track. I don't know what to say.
00:41:20
Speaker
It's track in my head, but I know he prefers to be pronounced as track, so I'm just being respectful. And I think all you can do as people is be respectful. You gotta be nice, sometimes. I mean... Have no you two ever had that memo? Because I don't get that memo from this who you two. I'm gonna refer you back to the page that says Force Back to Boo-Bunk can do whatever they want.
00:41:43
Speaker
In the library. It says it there. It's right there. So you can pick it up. Actually, we have a permit. It actually says right on that page we have a permit. We have a permit. Yeah. ah Okay. I'm going to go on to this next question. um It's a long one. ah Here we go.
00:41:59
Speaker
Okay.
Popular Features Becoming Permanent
00:42:00
Speaker
Noticing how Farm RPG has evolved over time. um Have any mechanics or systems very clearly started as temporary ideas but end up remaining in the game or rather than being... removed um There are is more to that question, but I'm just going to answer that very first part.
00:42:15
Speaker
Um, I, this question came from plastic kid, ah which is a really wonderful question. This kind of stuff happens all the time in development. It's not just farm RPG.
00:42:26
Speaker
Um, but i did pose this one to fire fire stream as well, even though i kind of already knew some of these answers, um, fire stream, ah pointed out, uh, two of them that were originally jokes, um, April fool's jokes, which was the Raptor fight club and a lot of April fool's stuff.
00:42:45
Speaker
ah So biting fish didn't originally exist. We brought it up for an event. It was just like an idea and it just stuck around. um So there are lots of things where we will throw it in for an event or something and realize we really enjoy it. People really enjoy it and it sticks around in other iterations.
00:43:04
Speaker
So the answer to your question is yes. Another one is the trick or treat. a mechanic we use in a different ways in the game ah specifically in Gary's cave and the acorn pie all that is like something that we just kind of built and then realized we could use it in new and interesting ways ah so you know development is definitely very iterative definitely very you know what how can we take this thing and use it again and make it feel different but still the same so great question plastic kid um
00:43:39
Speaker
Thank you. ah And for Bubun, who has your favorite, weirdest, most complex, your choice emblem you have ever drawn from Tonberry King?
00:43:52
Speaker
Emblem? There's a lot in there. There's some crazy emblems. ah Let me look at them really fast. God, here's the thing is I can't remember what I drew like last week. I draw so much and so fast.
00:44:05
Speaker
It's like so many different things. I think the Goose Screaming is probably the one i put the most work into, and it couldn't even be put in the, like, the just for players to use. We made it staff only because it's a GIF.
00:44:17
Speaker
So that Goose Screaming, I spent so much time on that. um I think it's a staff only one, though. So you probably won't ever see it. don't know.
00:44:31
Speaker
that's probably the That's probably the one, honestly. Because that's like multiple frames of animation. It took me a little bit of time. Everything else, you know, it's easy. I draw a lot of animals. ah So i I think, honestly, Olims or Olim, however you pronounce that name, he's on staff. His emblem specifically was difficult for me because it's like...
00:44:53
Speaker
a military emblem of some kind. I don't remember what it it is. I'm so sorry, O-Lime, if you're listening to this, that I don't remember what exactly it was, but that was hard for me. That one was difficult. That was crazy. So, yeah, that's what I'm going with.
00:45:09
Speaker
Great job, guys. ah Tom Berry King, great question. Boobun loves talking about her art. You can always you can always dm her. And she would love to talk to you about her art and art in general.
00:45:22
Speaker
Please talk to me. she's like She's laughing, but she actually really does love talking about art. I do like talking about art. It's true. Speaking of emblems, a plug for something Force Path put out recently that I know a lot of people have really enjoyed.
00:45:38
Speaker
There is a World Stats library page that has a whole bunch of cool stats in it, one of which is the most used emblem. So if you're curious... What? Did you update the World Stats? Oh, I didn't look at this. Oh, okay. It's a new library page.
00:45:52
Speaker
Not the old... How often are you updating this? This is like a... you do once There's like a whole disclaimer on the top of it that says like, this is, it's just going to be updated whenever we get to it. And you know, okay. Well, like the big Bungo shout out actually. So name your pigs, big Bungo. If you name your pigs, big Bungo, i like you immediately name at least one pig, big Bungo. Thank you.
00:46:17
Speaker
If you name your pig, upper caps, big Bungo, two words. Bubun will send you 10 gold. Yeah, out of the budget. I will, actually. That's that's a great use of the budget.
00:46:29
Speaker
That is a great use of the budget. Yeah. Funny story. If you... ah I'm going tangent here for a second out of Dev Q&A. ah In the world stats, I love making these stats, and I will try to do them weekly, biweekly, something. Just a lot of effort and shout out to Sponge for kind of... I love making the stats. I do not love formatting, making things look nice. This is not a forced path.
00:46:54
Speaker
um, talent. Um, so sponge, uh, messaged me and offered to help collate all of it. Um, ah One of the things I was doing was putting like the most common name together. And Big Bungo actually is the most common name only because like three people have 500 pigs named Big Bungo. When I was well when I was putting it all together, i was like, well, it's great. But really, we should look at how many people individually have named something. And I thought that was more interesting of a stat.
00:47:26
Speaker
Listen, we can get 500 people that say Big Bungo, I don't think I can give everybody 10 gold. I mean, you've said it now. I'm going to give the first 20 people that say they have Big Bungo and they can prove it to me with a screenshot.
00:47:40
Speaker
Put it on your... Have them feature it on their profile. Feature it on your profile. Yeah, feature profile. Have it be Big Bungo. The first 20 people that tell me that, I will give you 10 gold. And the next 20 people...
00:47:52
Speaker
I will give you 10 gold. Okay. So yeah. All right. So we got 40 people. Perfect. So that's a little admin corruption for you out of our own personal budgets, even. just yeahing bungo yeah And if you want to just do it for fun, please do. We love we love Big Bungo. and we're here We're here to have fun. with that Yeah, we are. Yeah. so um So good call. Yes, we we do have a library page called World Stats again. And it's just a bunch of fun stats. um You can leave comments on ideas that you have. No guarantees that I'm going to change it.
00:48:24
Speaker
But ah it's fun and fun is why we play games. So that's why I brought it back. h So ah back to the Q&A. We got a couple questions left. um How did raptors come to be and why raptors? Comment by Mrs. Sunflower, which is another
Raptors and Game Mechanics
00:48:40
Speaker
great question. I actually had to ask Firestream this question because I couldn't remember why raptors were the choice. And the answer to that question is we needed something sneaky and stealthy um because it was coming from the Whispering Creek. And the first thing he thought of was hunting raptors. So that's what he picked.
00:48:59
Speaker
I remember I was brand new when Raptor eggs got added to Whispering Creek. I didn't have it open yet. I had just had the chat on the side and didn't touch it because I was too afraid to talk in it at first. I just would look look at it and be like, all right, ah I'm going to learn enough stuff so that I can talk in this and not sound dumb, um which is not what you need to do. You can just start chatting and chat. But So people were all talking about like everyone was grinding and everyone was trying to race to get the first egg. Just so you have a context of like how rare they used to be. Everything used to be because there was no cider. There was no like we were manually tapping. There was no protein bars. Exploring effectiveness was kind of crazy stamina at a certain amount. Yeah.
00:49:48
Speaker
Yeah, everyone was just furiously tapping, trying to get one raptor egg, and now people have tens of thousands of them. This is true. In the endgame.
00:49:59
Speaker
Excellent point. Thank you, Luna. um Yeah, Mrs. Sunflower, great question. Love talking about the the history of Farm RPG. If you have questions on that, I am happy to answer them or ask Tenfu or Firestream who have as much knowledge, if not more than me, most of the time about the we love farm RPG.
00:50:22
Speaker
So, uh, this question comes from Sahasrallah, which to me still sounds like a character name from Watership Down, which is why I picked your question, even though I'm getting long in the teeth here. Uh, beautiful name.
00:50:37
Speaker
Sorry if I misbrounced it. um How do you decide which town folk has super loved items and are there plans for more in the future? i love this question because you're going to hate the answer. The answer is vibes.
00:50:49
Speaker
We pick it based on vibes. It's fun. And that's why we do it. Are there plans for more? Probably. I hope you enjoy that answer. Welcome to Sometimes How We Do Things.
00:51:00
Speaker
Just because it's fun. Sometimes it's just because we're having fun. We're having a good time coming up with fun stuff. ah So, Sahaz Rila, thank you so much for your question. I'm sure I'm butchering that. um Will there ever be any children, Townsfolk, are there only adults in Redbrook? Comment by D. Burtock.
00:51:22
Speaker
uh first of all to see you dude thank you so much for your comment uh the answer to your question is there are children in redbrook i just don't know that any of us feel like there's a lot of stories to tell featuring children um so maybe i don't know probably it would be more driven by need he's probably like he's probably like 12 so yeah so so are are there children yes will we write them i don't know probably not probably needs of the story ah more than anything else we're children we're children we're children to stay silent here because i have a conspiracy theory that buddy is a child and oh i have an entire backstory around how that all makes sense but i you can keep your head cannon to yourself your buddy head cannon
00:52:14
Speaker
I think you should get time you should message Koala Kordy and ask him for his headcanon on why Buddy is a child. If you have been you damn me, i will send it to you.
00:52:28
Speaker
It makes sense. He will send you his Buddy fanfic, self-insert. if you if you but ah Listen, if somebody writes a self-insert Buddy fanfic and it's clean, send it to me. I'll give you 10 gold.
00:52:43
Speaker
Oh my lord. There's like so much going on. that would but Why is there so many gold incentives today? I'm uncomfortable. This is for the first person that does it. I'm not going to do it. i and Listen, the first person and I'll make it a library page. How's that? It has to be good and clean.
00:53:02
Speaker
And it can't be made by ChadGPT. no Yeah, exactly. And I will run it through that i will run it through a checker. So you better you better write that yourself. Self-insert.
00:53:13
Speaker
We are not ah we're not fans of ChatGPT, right? We hate ChatGPT. So if you do it, then everybody loses out. Nobody gets the gold. That's it. i feel I feel like you're just inciting the trolls. But anyways, i know let let's move on to I've got three questions left. i don't think they we have time for tea time today. That's okay. We don't really need to do tea time. think this has been tea time.
00:53:35
Speaker
Yeah, we're just kind of chatting. ah So, Indoraptor asks, is it hard to make new features for the game? Which I also thought was a really lovely question. Thank you so much for asking, Indoraptor. I did ask this question of Firestream. He gave me a very quick answer um and said i'm willing to I'm welcome to expound on it.
00:53:55
Speaker
um And he said it really depends on the feature. Adding to existing systems is not too hard. um And by that, I believe that Firestream was thinking you were asking, is it hard to make new features for the game by coding? The answer to that question is typically no. um That said, i will give the qualifier that the balance of farm RPG is more difficult than it's ever been um And only continues to get more complex. Every decision, big or small, that we've ever made has had massive impacts on the game. um The Marief crest or, you know, changing the storehouse from incrementing from one to two.
Feature Development and Game Balance
00:54:34
Speaker
There are so many things that, you know, we make a feature, we put it out there, and then later we go, oops. ah So is it hard to make new features for the game? Not really, but also very.
00:54:46
Speaker
So hopefully I can add on that. Outside of just balance and actually making the feature, making sure that the feature works and there are no bugs with it is significantly more effort than I think anybody would realize.
00:55:02
Speaker
There's a reason that things take time to come out of beta or go from alpha to beta. And it's not just because people are doing nothing. yeah A lot of times it's a lot of extra effort. So much testing.
00:55:15
Speaker
Great. Great question, Indoraptor. Thank you guys so much for filling in there, too. um i have two more questions left. Next question i can easily answer for you. Are there plans to advance quest plot lines that have ended in cliffhangers? Comment by DeSisio.
00:55:32
Speaker
ah The answer to that question is, I'm going to leave you on a cliffhanger. is We'll think about it. There's been like a surge of people coming into spoilers and asking about peculiar endings. Yeah. Like, Hey, what I was, i where's the rest of this quest?
Quest Plotlines and Cliffhangers
00:55:50
Speaker
It kind of just ended out of nowhere.
00:55:53
Speaker
There's been, I'd say there's probably been a dozen of them that I've seen in help chat in the last month. he I love it. we get get that We need to get back into that one. There's a plan for that quest. It's more just a matter of when does it fit into working on all the other pieces of the game?
00:56:09
Speaker
ah So, yes, we do plan. You know, PSA ended on a cliffhanger. I just threw out a bunch more quests on that one. it ended on still a bit of a cliffhanger, but there's an ending.
00:56:20
Speaker
DI has an ending. i have it all written out. We have endings written out for everything. It's just a matter of time and the needs. so Also, good on you for reading the quests. We love a quest reader here. bro We stan a quest reader. Dang, why isn't that the first thing that I said? Thank you for reading, for real though, because we put so much work into that and it means a lot to us when people engage with what we've put our heart into. So thank you.
00:56:48
Speaker
um The final question I have here. So thank you to CCO, I should say. um The final question that I have is how much time do you still spend playing while developing the game, which I think is a really great question to end on ah Looking at Bubun's face is super hilarious.
Developers' Playtime and Work Balance
00:57:06
Speaker
Yeah. o Not a lot.
00:57:09
Speaker
I'm going to say not a lot. Yeah. So I did put this question to Firestream and I'll answer it myself. And I'd love for everyone to answer how much time they spend playing the game right, wrong, or there's no wrong answer.
00:57:20
Speaker
So um I asked Firestream and Firestream said he still plays daily um and tries to spend somewhere between half an hour and three hours a day playing. Firestream loves restarting the game on a new account, um playing through it. um He also likes playing on his endgame account, ah which right now we're in a minor competition to see who can get farther in the tower faster, in which he's actually beating me as of today.
00:57:46
Speaker
I know. so and I go catch up. I tend to watch chat more than play. um I've been trying to pick that up a little bit. um But, you know, try try to try click around for a half an hour a day sometimes, but I'm not particularly. You know, played a lot during Christmas during the bonus. I was like really trying to get my cooking to 99. I did not successfully get there, but I got close. I think I'm like 97.
00:58:13
Speaker
I'm up there now. I've been I've been cooking. I stopped. I the last two weeks i've I've dropped off. But listen, I was cooking for a minute there. So I would love to pose this question to Casey and Luna. How often do you guys play while developing you don't develop a game i'm kidding but how often do you guys play how much do you play guys play ah ballpark answers and there's no wrong answer i mean i'm i'm sure the uh like the the phone would probably tell me a really horrendous number of like screen time that i have the app open for
00:58:48
Speaker
um How much do I actually pay? It really depends on what's going on. Like when it was Tower 300 dropped, I was probably on every day, like playing actively for many hours continuously for days on end. And then I kind of got to T300 and hibernated for a bit and was like, I just got to hit the dailies and then, you know, stockpile for the next thing that happened. So it it depends. But...
00:59:19
Speaker
um You got to at least keep up with the dailies. And that's like maybe 10, 15 minutes of clicking around. And then i i I end up lost in all the chats, too, because that's part kind of partly our job that is to check around the chats, keep up with what happened overnight and everything.
00:59:38
Speaker
So. Yeah, I'm probably pretty similar. i would say maybe... 15 to 30 minutes actively playing a day spread out over you know the day.
00:59:51
Speaker
um But significantly more time adjacent to the game with you know the testing or or alpha stuff or you know all of the rest of it rather than actually active.
01:00:05
Speaker
Yeah, ah it's probably very similar to me. I try to play a little bit, but most of the time it's been ideating or setting up Borgon or whatever. So I'm always busy doing something to keep the game moving forward as opposed to playing. try to spend time, but stuff it's just tough.
01:00:25
Speaker
Yeah. um Farmer Danny, thank you so much for the question. but Thank you all for the questions. um I probably will maybe be a little more picky about my questions in the future, seeing how long this ran.
01:00:37
Speaker
um But again, I'm an amazing planner. It's okay. Listen, this is all fly by night. We've got at least like 15 minutes of time that probably didn't. hear this podcast. i listening this That's why people listen to this. You know what? I got a lot of comments of compliments about the episodes where me and Forest Path just ramble because they like listen to us talk, I guess. I don't know why. have no clue.
01:01:03
Speaker
Thank you. Absolutely. I get a bunch of messages after we posted the last one that were like, I really liked that episode. You guys are really funny. I'm like, okay, cool. Thank you. I love that. So glad you liked listening to us. I thought we were inane, but that's okay.
01:01:15
Speaker
Yeah, I was very critical of myself. So it's always nice when people send us compliments. yeah um Should we do like a rapid tea time just so that the tradition stays though we're in season school?
01:01:29
Speaker
It's tea time.
01:01:38
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We should get a little bit in. Just like so tell us something that you've been doing outside of the farm for like the last two months. Quick, just a quick two sentences. Outside of the farm.
01:01:50
Speaker
Yeah, outside of the farm. What have you been playing, doing, enjoying? Last time I was on the podcast, I think I talked about doing painting by number and I'm still working on the same painting painting by number paintings. I took like several months of, you know, of of not getting back to it, but I'm officially halfway done with it now. So maybe by the next time I end up on here, maybe I'll be done with it.
01:02:16
Speaker
I was going to make a joke about whether you would finish it before after mining came out, but maybe i shouldn't. um You're going to add weeks, but ah there buddy. You got to watch out.
01:02:28
Speaker
Heel. Heel. KC, what have you been doing? Yeah, it us quick yeah I've got ah a little, she's 10 months old now, so a lot of my time spent with baby koala.
01:02:42
Speaker
But other than that, I have actually gotten back into playing video games recently, other than Farm RPG, which I was on hiatus for quite a while. I know. I'm very glad to see you back into playing video games. Yeah, I played about through Bollocks Pit.

01:03:22
Speaker
Quick tea time? Yeah, I've been drawing a lot, as usual, but I have been playing, I'm i'm sunk back into Animal Crossing, New Horizons, baby, we're back in. with the update? Yeah, with the update, it got me. It sucked me back in. I've been playing that for like like a couple hours every night, you know, checking those turnip prices and...
01:03:41
Speaker
that designing hotel rooms man that game's still so good and I've never played in the winter time before so I'm building snowmen we're having fun it's very good it's like bring me back I need like a really relaxing activity because my job my day job has gone through the ringer in the last couple of months so like it's like very nice and relaxing it lets me wind down from my you know from my daily activities so what about you force path what have you been up to Great question. um i beat Kazan the First Berserker, which I left a review on the Discord for. 6.5 out of 10. Would not play again, but good game.

Speaker
um i finished Octopath Traveler Zero. a Great game. Love me a good JRPG. I'm playing in Shrouded with my homies right now. I read the new Dresden file books, our book, which came out seven days ago.
01:04:39
Speaker
ah Loved that. I've finished off reading Dungeon Crawler Carl, and I've been getting back into board games lately. So and I've been building I've been building wooden props for my daughter's dance troupe and having a lot of fun with that. So fun. I keep myself very busy if I'm not working on my day job, which I did get a new day job to start next week.
01:05:00
Speaker
um So a clean day job and are you farm job and helping out with everything. i keep myself very busy. I don't. So, you know, that's a that's a very shortened tea time.
01:05:12
Speaker
Quick one. I love playing games and I love books. And I love building. Hell yeah. Boom. Boom. No, hell's not censored. now hell's not censored I thought that was the first swear of the day.
01:05:28
Speaker
No, there's no swears in here. We were very good. I'm sure there's a ton of ums. so There's a lot of ums. Because I was talking. It happens. Anyway. so The very final thing that we have to do before we close the podcast out is give out the next phrase that you type in.
01:05:47
Speaker
oh right. And that's it's going to be it's going to be something special, right? Or is it It is. It's going to be something special. so It's going to be something special. So what what should we what should be the phrase? This is on you, Doug.
01:06:01
Speaker
Or we could have the guests figure it out. but No, we we were told we didn't have any homework. so Well, this isn't homework. This is happening right now. We already have multiple homework coming in. It needs to be something fun because it is like and um this is a big thing.
01:06:20
Speaker
ah not what full sentence I want a full sentence. Does anyone have any suggestions? I love the podcast. It is my favorite thing to listen to.
01:06:32
Speaker
is there a character limit? i think yeah No, I don't think there's not a worthwhile character limit. at least Okay. All one word, no spaces.
01:06:43
Speaker
Okay. Can you say that again for all of us? I love the podcast. It is my favorite thing to listen to. All one word, no spaces. And ah theoretically, that should be live when the game.
01:07:00
Speaker
That'll be live when the game, when i when it gets put in the game. So by the time this comes out, that'll be that'll be ready. That's it. That's it. That's the end of it. It will be live in the game when it comes out in the game.
01:07:15
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. When this episode airs, it will be live in the game. We professional podcasters and professional game developers. This is secret sauce. This is how it gets done. This is how it gets made. We just do way. This is sausage right here. It's fly by night, okay? That's just how you do it. We have a script.
01:07:34
Speaker
We plan. We don't make our guests uncomfortable by making them do multiple things that they weren't prepared for. right This is what we do here. This is what we do. We're professionals. Professionals. Yes, professionals. But anyway, that's it for the podcast. Thank you for listening. We love you very much. And um comment on the swear jar if you want to win the swear jar. And comment on the the podcast dev Q&A if you want to ask us a question. Have a good night. We love you. Goodbye.
