welcome to prime time.
This is the special launch Week edition where
we're doing several sessions throughout the week.
This one is the,
um, EU Time zone one.
and, uh, we're having another one tomorrow at I don't want to do time zones.
It's in the it's in the channel, but it's, uh, 8 p.m. my time zone.
It will be four hours after
yesterday's one started. Um, I'm just doing that to cover the bases.
Also, to get the questions out there.
It's also good to sort of start up the engine of, um,
uh,
you know, talking to you guys and getting back there.
I dropped the food I was eating on my keyboard. That's great.
I'll clean that up later.
Um
uh, So, first of all, a couple of caveats.
They are at the top of the questions list, but just going through them again,
try to minimise duplicates.
It's likely to be a busy session. Scroll up and down.
If your question is there, it will be answered. Also.
Please don't ask what the answer for a question is if you miss it.
That's why we have recordings.
Uh,
I uploaded the recording of yesterday's one to the
systems I have in place to transcribe them.
And a DB immediately sent me a message saying,
you've exceeded the free tier for this month, and it's like, Yeah, I know.
I gave it a two hour recording yesterday.
Uh, so So there we go.
Uh, let's go ahead and, uh, get going. Oh, actually, I forgot the rest of the caveats.
Yes.
Are there gonna be questions I can't answer? In this case?
I'm just gonna be like Sorry, I can't answer them.
If you mandate the answer them, you're gonna have to just leave.
I'm not going to answer them.
Um,
this and all office hours in this server are for Resonate and not any other platform.
And I don't answer these questions, although that one is mostly a meme.
Uh, so let's go ahead and get started on those questions.
So the first question that we have here is from magic who has a half foot question.
This is a reference yesterday to people asking questions of different
sort of scope and referring to them as various units.
So it was like, Here's a
of question. Here's some questions. It's like, Ah, yes,
units
um
so magic asked what are the current standout features
of resonate that users should be aware of?
Most of those are actually covered on our steam page. The steam page, um
uh was published a quite a while ago now, but still not really that much, Um, long ago.
It's It's been a busy week, you know,
she coughs bad. That's, uh, Anyway,
uh,
so you can see basically the whole features on there.
I would go through them, but like it, it's all there. Go read the steam page.
We got tonnes of features there.
Um, So if you've got any specific questions about any specific features,
let me know.
Actually, hang on.
Uh, specifically, are there any, uh,
unique capabilities or tools in resonate
that differentiate from other platforms?
So the the whole like live building thing
is still like a large differentiate differentiator.
You don't need to, um, build compiler stuff.
Just edit in real time. There's still a differentiator, like there is no,
like, build or compile. Step for most, uh, processes, et cetera.
Um, that is like a really small way of explaining it because, like, it's a really big,
um, advantage.
But like it. We're limited on time, so we'll move on. Take a look at that same page.
Uh, Zari asks. Thanks for doing an edition of this.
Uh, I have a pint of with peanuts of questions. Excellent.
Um, Cesari says how comes when selecting an object in proto fox?
I get presented to a free text field.
Uh, in the end, has a val list of entries for type, um,
IE string, but
is not valid yet.
There's no way to know, especially
as a new user, that there's a valid list of types.
It seems like you just need to know what to enter in that field.
A list of types, even if long, seems to be kind of more favourable there. Uh, yeah.
So the, um, the node browser is a work in progress.
What did you mean by
II?
I was that a typo or
a very confused? Anyway, um,
the proto fox no browser is a work in progress.
Uh, we want to make it better and easier there.
Uh, for those who know proto fox, well, you'll know that, like most nodes,
you could just spawn any type, uh,
and then link it in and it will automatically switch.
For example, if you
have the, uh, addition node,
you can plug in whatever data type you want and and products
will figure out for you.
Uh, moving on. They have a question about, uh, accessibility.
They say, uh,
it feels like there's a missed opportunity to include a toggle that
makes it easier to read the the type of the noodles.
Um, the the noodles, um, ribbons, wires, whatever you want to call them
and the cards themselves
and the the node cards themselves, they're all work in progress. Um,
we got the base systems working, but we want to do like a full, uh,
U I design pass on those, make them better et cetera.
We're even going as far as, uh, we can customise the colour of each type.
And so we're trying to figure out sort of a good way to collect feedback about that.
Um,
there are thousands of nodes, and it's just like
everyone pick a random node, a random type and say a colour right now, of course,
not in the question thread.
But if you do that, it's like, you know it's a mess,
so we gotta figure out a way to do that.
I'm gonna cough a few more times.
Alright, I'm back next, Uh, the next. Ask a small question.
Are you Do you plan for users who are joining during the beta to have a badge? I?
I don't know. Of course I'm the badge. Uh, Kremlin.
Um, but I don't know. We'll we'll take a look.
Um, when it comes to, like, badges and stuff like that,
the priority of that one is so much lower than everything else going on.
Uh, so we we need to
We need to talk about badges later.
Um,
if he says, Well,
we actually get dedicated buttons for certain objects
and references and fucks such as data model,
stored object string and data model storage object refs.
Um,
yeah, that's exactly the same question as Ari's question.
Yes,
we want to update the proto Fox no browser so that it's
a lot easier to use and has more features in it,
et cetera.
Moving forward to bits.
Question a jar of questions. Love this this metric thing.
Last office hours,
you mentioned that the troubles using for
localization have you thought about alternatives.
I have thought about alternatives. Um, there's a A system called crowd in
Web blas.
Another one.
there's even this one called, like go localise or something.
That one, though you kind of sort of farm the localization out to a community,
and you have to pay for that one.
right now, we're kind of using, um, those Jason Files there are issues,
but like most of them right now are caused by excitement, which isn't a bad thing.
It's just a tricky thing.
Um, when people don't, um, realise other people are working on translations,
you end up with, sort of, you know,
three people submitting the translations for a particular language.
And then it's difficult to reason about how to merge those together.
Uh, but I see some good conversations coming up. Um,
I don't know any of the other languages that well at all,
but I noticed there was some conversation in one of the Esperanto PR where it's like,
you know, is this word better than this word for this particular circumstance?
That's a beautiful, healthy conversation, and I love seeing it.
Um,
next question from Big crack says,
Do you have or thought about having team members
dedicated to designing U I concepts for the game.
Well, we have that. So,
uh, we have chroma, the keeper of the colours. That will always be Chrome's name.
Now, even though they do so much more work, I underplayed how, um
uh, pivotal they were to how, uh, resonate looks,
um, but we have chroma there who has just generally good U. I, um, experience.
But then the entire content team as well the facets that you
see on your new home are entirely designed by the content team,
and, uh, they can
sort of update them at Well, um they are, um, politely asking us to to,
But we have to do something from code if there's changes to the basically.
So we need to
We need to go do that. They're like, Hey, we updated them.
Could you like, uh, it's called a version, bub, but I'm just like, yeah,
I keep forgetting to do that one.
I'll do that one today.
I promise the content and team members and hey, I'll do that one today,
um,
moving towards to the last question.
Do you have, uh, do you hope to expand the developer team post launch
Uh, yes, there is definitely room for, uh, an increase in the team.
Uh, for those unaware, we did have a volunteer spot open for a, uh,
financial business person.
Uh, that has now been filled.
More information on, uh, team members and team roles will be available soon.
We'll also be updating the Yellow Dog and Studios website with that team.
Uh, that is an opt in process, though.
Not everyone wants their name plastered on that,
but yeah, we do have a finance person now, Um,
I'm going to call them the maths guy and
probably underplay what they're doing for us again.
It's very much appreciated, but
they do a lot of maths with dollars on the front of it.
Or
like what's the symbol for check crowns? I don't know.
It's probably like AC, but anyway,
um, little help us as a pound of question. Beyond just worlds or tools.
What are some things you'd like to see? Uh, the create a scene work on?
I
don't want to see many tools. I mean, all the tools are great.
Don't get me wrong, make them et cetera. But I would love to see
basically experiences
and I say this a lot and it gets quoted a lot, but,
like make something that reaches out and touches someone else's soul, Right.
Um, if you've played various games,
I always list examples and then we get into an argument or like someone says like, Oh,
you forgot this game.
It's like, Oh, yes, I'm off the top of my head. Examples, um,
Brother's a tale of two sons, um, gone home. I know that gets like
mixed reviews because it's a walking simulator.
Um, the life is strange series, you know, those those games touch your soul,
you get to the end of them and you're just like, What did I experience?
Right? Make experiences like that.
That's what I want to see, stuff that basically says, I'm here.
I have something to tell the world and it will leave an impact on you.
Another really good example of that in the film world is everything everywhere,
all at once.
You get to the end of the film and lots of
people will like I was crying by the end of that,
and it's like, yeah, that was a ride.
It's a really,
really good film.
Um, you know that like sometimes you watch a film and it's like, you know,
just a sort of standard action flick
and you're like, Cool. That was cool.
Action scenes were good,
but sometimes you watch like a really a film that just touches your soul.
And you're just like, uh,
like for For many people, the notebook might be an example of that one.
I, of course, find that a little bit too soppy, et cetera. But you know what I mean?
Like it's telling you something. Forrest Gump is another good example.
In terms of films like that,
you get to the end of that one, and you're just like, Wow, that was an experience.
Uh, if he says, Well,
operators that have many different input types be consolidated into a single node.
But you've asked the same question
again.
Yes,
the node browser will be improved, uh, to
track an order. Amount of question.
What music do you like to play while getting shit done?
Um, I have used Spotify since 2013,
so that's, like 10 years now.
Um, and Spotify knows the music type I like. I don't know the music type I like.
It makes playlists for me.
Um, and I just hit play on them.
So this play this I use when I'm trying to relax.
Um, the one I'm into right now is called atmospheric calm.
And that will help me sleep if I can't sleep. Um, but if I hit like,
um, a few others here, but I can't sometimes it, like, hides them.
Like don't hide the play it that you're making me. I love them all.
Um, but there's all sorts of ones here that are good.
Um, there are a couple that are sort of more work orientated, et cetera.
Sometimes there's an artist I actually will listen to, but like most of the time,
it's just like Spotify knows what I want to listen to.
And I trust it.
Brain food. Yeah, there we go. Brain food is another one. It's like II.
I exclusively listen to music that doesn't have lyrics.
There are exceptions, of course, but like if I'm focusing on work, I need to, uh,
not have lyrics.
I get annoyed a lot of times. Um,
I remember doing this when I was growing up.
Like I would I would ask questions and I'd be
like the lyrics to this song don't make sense.
And then someone would turn around and say, But it sounds good And I'm like, Yeah,
but like the words that they're saying
literally don't make sense.
It's like if the words exist, I need it to, like, have a narrative and make sense
moving forward. Uh,
thank you for providing the pronunciation, but my brain just like blanked. Um,
Zara,
There we go. Um,
an atomic question.
We'll be getting the licence system for, uh,
users that sell items that is a road map thing.
So it's TBD on the road map.
We still do have plans to make the ownership of items within, uh,
resonate a lot better and a lot more sort of, uh, both protected,
but also discoverable and, uh, permission
and exploratory
metre sized
question. I don't know that
from magic here,
uh,
for someone who's new to resonate how steep you say the learning
curve is and other resources to help users acclimatise the platform.
The learning curve is larger than other platforms, but
the benefit of that is that you need to
realise that you can tailor that learning curve.
I talked about this at yesterday's section where I talked about how, um, people,
um sorry, a
ping.
Um, people were, um, always coming in and then immediately trying to find an avatar,
right? It's like
I need an avatar right now.
Um, maybe try not having an avatar when you come in,
and then the the learning curve is is sort of like it's less immediately into steep.
It's, like, you know,
maybe hang out, watch a couple of youtube videos, see how easy that is.
Um, you know, try some of the sort of tools or or gadgets that you have,
and then you can jump into the steep learning curve pool.
Um,
as for resources available to help we do at the mentor programme and
there will be additional tutorials both from the community and the team,
uh, coming as we go,
um,
plu
think I got that,
um asks, Are there new future plans to update uh,
existing 2019 unity versions to newer or update the mono?
Uh, runtime ETC? Um,
I don't particularly know, Like what? Our Our plan is there.
If we want to sort of update unity versions, um,
and and and stick to unity for a bit or if we want to wait for source.
Uh, if there are benefits for updating Unity version, then we We'll try to do that,
I'm sure, but it just depends on the timing of that.
There's no plans right now. There might be something on the road map later.
Uh, electron says, uh, a question size question.
Do you regret making a comment about liking sized
questions of memes are always fun for me,
you know, just a giant meme lord shit poster.
It's It's it's good
to do,
says a flux size question.
Um
uh, skip the first part of that one.
Should we read all coding we did back on other platforms and keep the eyes.
Uh, you shouldn't have many issues. If you do, uh, you might have to fix stuff.
I know, for example, like Dear Bell is having some issues with her world toy shop,
etcetera.
But I know that a very popular world called the Car wash works perfectly.
Uh, so just try, Have some experience
suspiciously B. I'm able to pronounce that today.
Apparently, has the team considered optional U I for the headless? Yes.
Uh, there's a bunch of community based projects that do that.
Um,
so those are good. Continue to use them,
and, uh,
they're great. Uh, but we want to sort of anything that is like, commands or files.
We kind of want to make it better in the future.
Um, for example, headless is just sort of like half of our server stuff.
It's not proper servers in the future. You want to do proper servers?
Uh, we've even talked about no timeline ETA S or anything like that.
Remember, it's just a cloud passing on a summer's day.
It's like, That's a cool cloud, but we haven't gone and captured.
That cloud is maybe server hosting that you guys can pay with, uh,
pay us for and that will function a little bit like Minecraft realm.
So those are know what Minecraft realms are?
Minecraft realms is like Minecraft server hosting.
If you don't know how to do server hosting,
you just give Microsoft money and they give you a server
and it's really simple. There's no like configuration, no complexity.
So if you even considered doing that, um,
because that would just be really easy for users who are not as technical.
Uh, B asks, What's the favourite type of food outside of cheese I?
I don't know, like favourites. A really difficult question to answer.
If I remember, I'll drop a video in about why?
Um and, uh, it's just like favourite. It's a difficult question.
Um uh,
moving onwards. Uh, B says, will it be official?
Competitive of eye track VR inside resonate when
it comes to eye tracking and devices.
The, um, answer I always give is we will look into it if we can.
Um, if it's a piece of hardware,
we ideally need that hardware in our hands in the hands of the team
and we can go ahead and take a look at doing that.
Um, if it's a standard, we will endeavour to support it, but it needs a GIB issue.
Once that GIB
is is available to track and says a capable amount of question.
What's your favourite prime number? Give me one second here.
Seven.
I just wanted to double check that seven was prime.
I think it's prime, but I just wanted to double double, double check.
Um,
B says coffee or tea depends on the time of day coffee
to wake me up tea for the rest of the day.
I have a bunch of Chinese imported tea in my in my cupboard.
Um, I haven't actually had a lot of that. Some of that tea tastes like feet, though.
It's really
like, it's weird. Um, it's, you know, the really strong teas. Um, moving forward.
Will the game have tools to do rudimentary motion capture?
We've actually got a couple of community based solutions that do do motion capture.
I don't know if they've been, um, added to to resonate yet, but, um,
they are quite cool.
I would like to have a standard native version of doing that.
Um, but the the tools that already exist are really cool. Um,
says how are you today? Did you eat breakfast yet?
I don't really eat like breakfast, lunch and dinner. Um, it's difficult to do that.
Oh, God, that's this is the, um,
This is a test of the National
Wireless emergency alert system.
The purpose is to maintain and improve alert
and warning capabilities at the federal state,
local tribe and territorial levels,
and to evaluate the national nation's public alert and
warning capabilities. No action is required by the public
and then it does the same thing in Spanish.
I would read this one out, but that would be terrible pronunciation.
I got notice from someone. Someone posted it. Thank you.
Whoever did post it, uh, that that was gonna happen. I didn't know.
I'm so glad that I was awake. That probably would have woken me up.
And I would have been scared
shitless.
Um, but yeah, I don't really eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I kind of just eat when I'm hungry. I usually average, like, 1.5 meals a day.
I say that because the like 0.5 meal is like a usually something smaller,
Um,
toy.
I can ask about office hours. Transcripts? Uh, yeah, they're all available.
They're all on my site.
Um, because we're currently using my site,
I'm able to sort of just host whatever I want.
Really? I even considered, um, putting
like my office hours outside of this discord,
and then
be, like, unbranded from the platform that I'm working on.
But that would kind of turn it into, like, primes. Podcast.
Uh,
that would probably use a drop in traffic
there because I then not affiliated with the
platform but I would be able to talk about more prime things like non resonate stuff,
et cetera, maybe even cheese.
Uh, but yeah, you can go to my website. They'll they'll be there. Um
uh, B says, should the player base get sufficiently large with the team, make, uh,
different specialised categories of mentors.
So the mentor team is actually run by a team of mentor leads. They are, um, over,
um,
uh, managed by the
but doesn't like to influence them unless it's necessary.
Uh, if they need help, or there's, like, you know, a tie break or something like that,
of course, will help it out.
Um, but it's up to the mentor leads.
Um, I'm not sure if they're ready to announce their sort of systems or plans there.
So I'll I'll leave that for them. Maybe we need a mentor for ourselves.
That would be cool.
Um,
be asked, why doesn't the camera control U? I conform to the rest of the U.
I That would be because it's
done on my computer. I've I've updated it to the new U. I,
um but half the buttons don't work. It's on my computer. It's just a lower priority.
Uh, B says,
can we get an official streaming policy posted somewhere ahead of launch?
So,
um, after launch, the only streaming policy that will probably have is
it's got to comply with the moderation guidelines and the, um,
and the, uh, terms of service and the U, etcetera. Max, you're in the wrong day.
I locked the thread, but you're a moderator, so you can talk there.
Like only moderators can send questions in the thread.
Of course, Max finds the wrong day. Um, thanks, Max, for being here again.
Let me scroll back up to the list of questions.
Seeing as I saw a question here on that thread to
had to go there.
Um, OK, forwards. OK, cool.
Uh, 989. Onan says, will the team make driving materials easier and stuff like
transformation
system.
Whenever I explain that stuff like IS that provide
a material or changing reference of certain types,
it makes us just think I'm speaking Greek.
Um,
yeah, that already actually exists.
It just needs, like, a little bit of like, um headspace
changing. Um oh, no. You mean driving the values? Yeah, we we We'll look into that one
um,
what I meant or thought that you were referring to,
but you won't is the fact that you can move components now.
So sometimes I get to the point where I've got
a material and the material is in the asset system.
And I'm like, Damn, I need to I need to drive a, um,
a property of that material with proto,
but it's in the asset system, so it won't be preserved.
Now, I can grab that component, move it out of the asset system,
back onto the object and then easily set up a protocol.
No need to recreate the materials. I usually do,
uh, be asked, what would surplus funds be used for?
So we are trying to build up a budget.
Um, and that's what the surplus funds will be used for. So, um,
the biggest people thing that people make mistake that people make
with money is when they see money in their bank,
they think about it as a present situation.
So I have more than this.
But like say, I had $100 in my bank, someone will be like, Oh, that's a lot of money,
but I'm like,
Well, that's like next week's groceries, right? You need to think forward facing.
So that's what we're doing in terms of budgeting. So we'll need, um,
like a server budget.
Um,
server costs this month might be higher because we're
kind of scaling things up a little bit,
but they'll settle down in a couple of months.
We need a legal budget just for sort of legalities and stuff like that.
Uh, we need to try and start paying people, et cetera.
Uh, it it just it like, right now, it's just gonna stay there and be,
uh,
just used for sort of whatever it needs to as it
comes until we settle down and know what's going on.
Uh, you can rest assured that all of that is either going to the product or, uh,
the team members, though,
uh, be asked Important question that can be skipped.
Well, touching yourself be supported. Touching yourself is supported.
Now, uh, in resonate,
you can do it.
Uh, Nitra says,
uh, reignite
seems to have, uh, similar bugs to other platforms. Uh, when the
reignite Gelb opens, yeah. You'll need to post new, uh GBS
on the
reignite issue tracker reason behind this is we need new logs,
and we're not sure which bugs still exist.
So we'll need to get those come across, uh, be asked, how do the team choose the name?
Resonate?
We have a spreadsheet full of names that we like
we're talking about trying to use looking at using.
Um, Resonate was the one that the team liked the most and also had available, um,
trademarks that we could, uh, capitalise on.
Um,
the the important thing to know about this and we haven't actually had this before.
Like the the name of platform doesn't actually matter that much.
It does in that.
Like, you need to know it, and you need to use it, and you need to be on board with it.
Um, I want you to think about your own name,
right? You, you, you
I.
I know there's exceptions here, but just speaking generally, like, you know,
I didn't really choose my name.
My parents did, and I don't like or dislike it. It just is my name.
And you will come to to treat her as a night like that as well.
And hopefully you'll be on board with the name.
If you're not liking it or you're having an I right now, I would say,
Just give it a month or two.
Um, you know, start using it in conversation, particularly when it's launched.
It's like, Hey, friend, I'm gonna go play ree
and eventually you'll start building an emotional attachment to that name,
and then it will just be your name.
Um, we had the exact same thing when I worked for, um, Beam that got renamed to Mixer.
I hated Mixer for, like a month, and then I'm like, You know, it's cool.
And now I really like that name. That was a really good name.
Um, it's a really difficult thing to do.
Marketing also, um, at Mixer they renamed one of my features, and I hated that name,
but again, I got used to the name.
It's just it's just a name
that he
just
as we be updating or migrating the directory, I don't know, Um,
the directory is only useful for like, a month,
And then people started sharing around the
massive public folders of public folders.
Uh, I'm still not sure which solution there is better.
The directory allowed searching, but only allow searching by directory name.
It would be great if we could get, like, red working again and then stuff submitted to
X or like whatever it wants to be called, um et cetera.
And then that would be a good way to sort of handle that problem.
Because, I, I just hate the public folder of public folders.
And the director was even getting, um, unwieldy.
I do need to clear it out and then, like, start new and start taking, um,
suggestions to it.
Maybe I also update the U. I who knows
that was very old.
For anyone who doesn't know what the director is,
the director was my original solution to the whole.
How do I get someone's public folder without them being online?
Uh, people could put their public folder, um, they sent it to me,
and then I'll put it into the director of the world.
The director of the world was inspired by, uh, Cerebro.
Something like that from the first X Men film.
Um, that's when, um
can't remember the actor name. So excuse me.
Uh, Jean Luc Picard goes into the cerebro room in his chair and puts on the hat,
and he's like, find all the
so they all, like appear at a big dome. That's the inspiration for the directory.
Xavier is the the character name. What is
Patrick Stewart? There we go. It took a while. Um, yeah, moving forward.
B says, uh, will office hours be available as an R
for you? There is an issue open on the office hours. Uh, repository, by the way.
Office hours are open source, um, to make an RSS feed, and then that would work.
I've also considered
it a actually, just sort of implementing as a podcast on Spotify.
I don't know the pros and cons to that, so I need to look into it a little bit more.
Um, do
Bols has a pointed to a question.
Is there a plan to call to include all the functions of model building animating, um,
blender etcetera into resume?
Yes.
Uh, there is, um
we want to add more sort of procedural stuff. Uh, you can look at an old demo on Fr's
channel where he, um, makes like, islands and stuff with his hands.
Uh, we want that at some point. Uh, Marcus says, what was the food? Was it good?
Um in my freezer.
I just have a bunch of microwavable frozen burritos from Trader Joe's.
They're called chicken burritos,
and
they, um
they're good, but they're there, Like when I haven't planned ahead.
They're like emergency food. They're like, I haven't planned a meal.
I'll throw a burrito, and I don't want to continually eat them.
There's, like, 20 in there. Um, but they're really just sort of like I'm Whoops.
I forgot to plan a meal. I'll throw a burrito in the microwave,
so the wicker says message to join the thread.
If you right, click a thread, you can click.
Follow, and then it will allow you to follow the thread without doing that.
Please do that next time. Uh, zig,
I've forgotten how to pronounce your name again. I'm so sorry.
I will try and remember. Um, a size question,
uh, for
release date, will we get any sort of easier introduction for new users?
Uh, the tutorial, um, is the plan for new introduction?
Um, plus, we want mentors to be able to be on site for the launch.
More, um, additional. Um, flows there.
It sort of depends where you're looking like so, for example,
we need an easier introduction to making avatars.
Yes, We need a new, easier introduction to making a world. Yes, All those things.
Um, we want to take a look at making better in the future. Dog
says, um
correctly. You said last time that we were able to run doom in bread. Fox?
No, the other way around.
Um, so proto flux is a generic, um, system that could potentially run in other games.
And so I made the joke that proto flux could run in doom. You probably can't.
But what I meant by that is like, take a a modern game.
You might be able to integrate proto
into it in the future. Of course. Um,
so, yeah, to your your second question,
they would technically be able to They won't now, because prof
is closed source, etcetera. But the system is capable of doing.
Um, next question is are graphic settings on the table to allow lower spec players.
Graphic settings are a difficult one due to the the user, um,
created content that we have.
We do have the asset variant system,
which sort of automatically handles some lowering and raising of, of, of,
of resources,
But I know that graphic settings are a top request from people to get that done,
we do need the setting system.
Rework, though,
says any server issues for seen with the upcoming player flood.
Whenever FRU is awake right now, they're working on server improvements.
It would help if if prime hadn't accidentally broken registrations last night.
But I did submit a fix for that, and there will be an update soon.
Check the announcement section.
That book is entirely my fault, and I'm going to feel better for eight weeks.
So sorry about that one, but it is fixed.
Um,
other than that, uh, we'll see, uh, we use stuff that is really easy to scale.
Um, the only difficult thing to scale is the asset grant system.
But I talked about that a lot yesterday. Um, everything else.
We can just sort of push a button
and it scales up. That does cost more money,
but we can scale to the size of, you know, however we want,
we can scale to a planet if we need to.
It costs a lot of money, but we can do that.
Uh, are there current? So DKG says are they currently,
um, or failing that plan built in asset protection?
Um, there is a current asset protection thing.
It is called simple avatar protection For a reason, though it is simple,
it is not foolproof.
Better protections are planned. No ETA S, no dates. Roadmap TBD.
Um
but it's important to remember that any protection
that exists anywhere for digital assets is breakable.
It is only a matter of time.
Uh, for those who are unaware, um,
let's say if all the protections in the code as you want
you can literally just dump video memory from the graphics card and
and get textures and stuff like it's it's there's no way to prevent that
because at a certain point that memory has to
go into the graphics card unencrypted to be like
draw a blue square over there, right?
It has to Global industrial says any plans to
add custom shade report in the near term.
Not in the near term road map TBD.
Um, and it won't be custom shader support like you want, which is problematic,
but it will allow you to customise shades a lot better,
but you won't be able to upload po
or anything like that.
Uh, yoyo
a
sorry,
difficult.
What is the difference between data store store and local variables in product?
There's actually a good written example from that in the Tutorials channel.
By the way, the to
channel is for tutorials.
It's not for asking about butterflies or anything like that.
Um
uh, strike, but a good one there, there will be additional documentation.
And, um uh, tutorials in that area coming soon from the and the team.
Uh,
says can we look forward to features
to help manage messy. And
me? Yes. The in the inventory is going to be overhauled to allow that sort of thing.
Uh, again, roadmap TBD timelines TBD no ETA S soon TM,
uh,
says will content control on the end user side
of things be potentially present in the future?
Uh,
linen lambs has an avatar complex system
in place in their comparable social platform.
It functions using an overall complexity value
to determine whether or not an avatar
object should be rendered as an imposter where it would appear as a static multi
ale in individual sprite.
Uh, probably something in the future. Um, yes,
maybe not like working exactly like that. But I see what you're saying.
You're trying to sort of,
um, a good comparison. There is VR chat systems, right?
They've got various ways to sort of reduce the complexity
or the amount of avatars that they are much more fairly familiar with VR. Chat one.
I haven't actually played second life.
Sometimes I thought it was dead, but no, it still exists. Still going strong?
A great platform?
Uh, yes, something like that. But not exactly that,
uh, seven. Who are you?
You actually are someone who had seven in the name before the seven.
So you had to keep it.
Uh, we'll be getting a new product. Flux browser. Yep.
Uh, it might not be a new browser, but it will be enhancements to make it better.
Uh, sino
Says, what are the plans for the IK system and resonate going forward? There is, um,
so, uh,
Xi
has spent a lot more time in full body, um, recently.
So they have a lot more handle on what needs to happen
to make, uh, full body tracking better.
Um, and that is
like in I'm not sure exactly what we're doing there, I.
I mean, I know, but like it's it's difficult to talk about because it's still, um,
wishy washy, etcetera.
But like again roadmap DB D. Um, Details. TV uh, nut
kick.
Sorry if we have time, I'll I'll explain why I was laughing.
It's nothing to do with you. It's a story from years past.
In yesterday's office hours, you mentioned, uh,
plans for Web based platform or accessing your red resonant account.
Um, will this platform include messaging contacts and venture management?
I think it would primarily be account management to start,
Um, but it could be expanded that in the future.
Uh,
Duff says there were rumours of eventually having a feature similar
to our second life had world connecting to one another.
I don't know, the detail tells, nor am I feeling of second life.
But I'm wondering if the rumour had any truth.
I hate rumours, like if there's rumours that stop the rumours, right?
Of course, there's questions I can't answer,
but just like no need for rumours anymore.
Guys, um,
you can already do it. Um, So,
uh, the tutorial leading into the cloud home is an example of that,
as is the local world leading into the tutorial.
There is a better world transition that connects stuff together.
Um,
there are
You can make world portals. You can make all sorts of stuff like that.
The the thing that you can't do right now is have, like, a live portal,
so you won't be able to basically say like, hey,
this world And you look through a hole and you see, like, another place a bit like, uh,
doctor, Strange, lingering.
You wouldn't be able to see,
like the other side, the side live. Maybe that might be something in the future.
Uh, particularly when you're in both sessions.
They are technically both running on your computer,
so it should be possible to overlap them in some way.
But that's very technical. Complicated.
Moving forward to pick, pick says, um,
was there any discussion on more granular per user culling,
such as blocking avatars based on mesh details count?
We just talked about that one, so we'll move on.
There was a discussion passed about allowing user to
view interactive avatar objects based on a white list.
Uh,
yes, that's that's protections and and stuff like that,
which I also previously talked about.
Um, so we'll move on.
Um, is there any timeline on the remade inventory system?
So when it comes to time or when, or anything like that,
the answer is roadmap TBD Check it when it's available.
Sorry.
Um seven. Will there be a quick, smaller, easier menu for new users to understand?
We get this one a lot,
but the answer is like, No,
um,
let's take, for example, I'm trying to think of like, an analogy that will work,
right?
Let's say you have a complex system that is really powerful, like we have a resume.
You could make a basic dumb down, Um uh,
stabiliser wheels on U I or you could
just make the complex system easier to understand.
So all of our focus is making the complex
menus easier to use rather than making an entirely new menu just for new users,
because that means we then have to maintain two
feature sets the complex solution and the easy solution.
Whereas we can just improve the complex solution until it's as powerful as it is,
but just easier for users to understand.
A great example of this might be something like
Lender, which looks like an aeroplane cockpit.
But once you realise you don't usually need to touch 90% of
the controls in blender it becomes a lot easier to use.
Same with unity.
There's buttons on unity U I that I just have never touched and won't need to touch.
But they're there. Uh, Robin A is a tab index planned for UIX? Yes. Um,
I there's an issue for that one. Internally, Um,
I gave some recommendations based on just like what browsers do because I'm
really familiar with how tab based U I works on on browsers.
But we do want to do that.
We want to do it in a way that works with user created content.
That's why we haven't done it.
Like we could totally implement it for, say, example,
the login or the registration form right now.
But that would be hard coded for those We want
a system that works for the rest of time on
any input field. Uh, Robin also asked, Is there gonna be merch? Yes.
Or you might want to attend Kromer's,
um office hours when and if they do them to to ask about merch as a reminder on merch.
If you are selling merch as.
And if you are profiting off our logo or our name, that is not OK.
We will eventually chase you about that and beat you with
a newspaper.
Um, but feel free to use our logo and stuff and stuff that you're not profiting on.
Good example here might be. You want to make some? I don't know.
You want a personal T shirt with the logo on it? That's fine.
You want to make some stickers for some friends at an event?
That's fine, but you cannot profit off it. You cannot sell it.
We'll have a full policy on that coming soon.
Uh, Robin asked. Is there a plan to implement personal space travel?
I want to do more safety features Like, um, safety is a weird one.
I used to be a bit different than this,
but now I'm totally on board after a long history of a mixer.
If there is a feature that is labelled safety or has safety related stuff,
so I consider personal space and also
blocking in the sort of safety realms,
we should be prioritising as quickly as we can.
Um so I I would love to see more, um, safety related items.
I don't know what that would look like or what would happen, but
yes.
Plan for more safety features? Yes,
as soon as we can.
Uh, scant says, will FDP calibration be revamped? I answered that one previously.
Um,
Zari says Huawei was meant to be an no
nonsense type. I did.
I did. I did it. I'm sorry.
Um,
this is also about bubble worlds. OK, so bubble worlds were like,
um, you could open up, um, a bubble in someone else's world.
Uh,
if you needed to do some development and it
would be isolated from the world that you're in,
Uh,
I don't know. The current, um, plans on that one.
it is an idea that's floating around,
but again, that's one of those clouds floating on a summer's day, right?
It's just like, Oh, there's a nice cloud. We've got no details or or plans about it.
Um, I also would kind of dislike if that was implemented in certain ways.
I don't want there to be a lockdown movie world and a
bunch of people to just launch and be like bubble bubble.
And then there'd be like proto flux everywhere it would be. That would be bad.
Um,
Chelsea's a Crum of questions, Uh,
was the decision to release on the sixth a bit
of a joke because everyone's expecting on the seventh?
Uh, no, honestly, Completely accidental. Um, completely accidental.
Um,
there are some requirements on steam's end about how and
when we can release stuff that did influence that decision.
But the release state is largely influenced by Were we ready to do it?
When can we do it? When is everyone available? When are the systems ready?
And this was the date.
Is it?
Will it be possible to add badges or other single
fires as a host of people joining the session?
Yeah, you can totally do that.
There's not a native system to do it, but you could totally do it.
Um, the host will get a badge that's indicating that they're a host.
And when a user joins,
you can get a reference to their badge and badge manager and shove a badge in,
um, enter the wolf. Interesting user name, uh, who has weird questions?
Uh, can we create our own shader in the future?
I did answer that One previously,
so I'll defer that to the previous time I answered it.
Um,
same with your second question. That's identical to the first question.
Uh, and then the third question is,
will there be hand an emissions when moving the avatar for a PC?
We want to do a better job there.
You'll notice that we've changed up how hands work when you crouch.
Some people like it. Some people don't.
Um but we want to do more there to try and make it a little bit more natural.
Um, I'm not sure like exactly what that will look like, but
Yeah, we'd like to make it as natural as possible.
Uh,
garrick, I think I know you from the chat. Or maybe
I. I don't know. I recognise your name, but I only saw you once. Anyway.
Will there be possibilities to be able to,
uh, performance changes to be done in game like avatar
light source and quality changes. Uh, as a world developer, you can already do that.
You can create a company called potato mode.
Um, but we want to provide additional opportunities to do that.
The settings rework needs to happen. I answered that one, previously as well.
We got some information from Ramer. I do appreciate the information.
Um,
um, when I when I have a question. So check grounds don't have a symbol.
We use the abbreviation KC. Where the C readers and Cherry,
uh,
international setting. We have CZK. Yeah.
There's a three letter label for each Each currency that's used internationally.
Uh, gin says, I don't know if this was asked earlier is
not gonna have the
answer to that one.
Uh,
says, uh, I crossed out that question moving on to this one.
Any guesses on the number expected users when resonant, filing reaches?
Um, I don't really know,
Like we're seeing, like, 300 or so each day. Right now.
Let's just double that to be safe and say 600.
0, like other people would go crazy at that and say that.
But like II, I don't mind. Either way, I'm happy that you guys are here.
I'm happy that you're enjoying it.
And when it finally releases, I'm happy to see whoever comes along.
Margot says, What's your favourite restaurant?
I have difficulty with the word favourite. Um, so I I can't answer that one.
says. Was it sauce or sauce? It's sauces in sauce that you put on on food.
Um, global Industrial says. Are there plans to update the U?
I, uh, so that half of it doesn't use order size text?
Yes, Any time you see U I that you think is a bit weird, it's not finished.
That's the reason, right? It's not finished,
like the login dialogue is even showing its age now
because we added a bunch more stuff to it.
So we had to add the date of birth and we had to add that check box.
You know, you agree to the policies we had to add that.
And so the lock in dialogue is even not finished, right?
That needs probably more work in the future to
make it look better and and function better,
says any plans to add buying storage space through steam.
There is a thread somewhere in here about monetization,
where there's possibilities again.
Cloud floating in a summer's day,
um, options of other payment methods. You can go ahead and read for that,
uh,
crow devils BK Will hosting a head of the
session generally function the same as the previous platform.
Uh,
maybe some improvements there draus
is, uh, questions. Only chat comments go to the office hours. Stage chat.
That's not a question. I'm sorry. I just started reading and couldn't stop. Um, but
to track it says a bottle of a question. Are you popular? Properly hydrated? I am.
I have a pint of water next to me
and also a can of doctor pepper. Zero sugar. I don't drink. Um,
sugary soda. I drink so, sugar. I know zero sugar soda is worse. But like, you know,
I don't drink
in the UK we sometimes refer to as full fat soda.
And that's because we used to call whole milk full fat milk. Um,
I know it doesn't make any sense, but, like,
I like my soda to have zero calories on it because I know it's terrible.
I'm just drinking it because I want,
uh, moving forwards.
Uh, dandy
says,
Are any plans for a desktop No edit a proto flux or a way
to break proto fox in a text based way desktop noted to already exist?
Control, Click a proto flux node. You'll focus on it.
Uh, a way to write proto
in a text based way as a cloud drifting on a summer's day.
There is the concept of maybe looking into text
based languages that would compile using Web assembly later,
uh,
says any plan to include community based car outside ReNu,
its
community made bases and users inventory so
we can advertise slightly resonate with them.
Uh,
the the public folder that you will get now called resonant Essentials.
Um, we want to add more stuff to them and potentially community made stuff there.
But we're trying to write a, um, a policy in a guideline for what needs to go in there.
Um, we had difficulties with it being a mess in the past,
so we want to make sure that that is better
in the future,
says will the headless be available to everyone locked off by our patrons.
Later, headless will be available to everyone later.
Headless is an early access feature. That's why it's on Patron,
uh, but now says, How does this team feel about third clients like launchers,
like people make open source clients using
a different unity versions or something?
I
don't think we've got an official policy about that one. Good luck on that,
um we did have a few previously, but,
uh, you know,
I? I don't know. I'd have to double check our policies on that one.
Margaret has a policy question.
Take it to the moderation office hours,
particularly once their guidelines have been published.
Uh, sliger says is anything in the work to make it?
Uh, so we or at least some don't have to eat the
fake key to effectively give VR mode a kick in the rear every time
we launch the Resonate seems to always crash the desktop mode on launch,
which is a real hassle.
That's probably the desktop auto switching feature.
You can turn that off in settings.
Um, that works by basically using the presence indicator for headsets.
That's usually an infrared LED that,
like beams into your forehead to check if you're inside the headset or not,
you can turn that off, and then it should start in. Um, it should start in VR each time.
Uh, to
a is a non serious amount of questions your parents scored you for.
They kind of seem bad ass for that.
Now, if you go ahead and look on the dogman studios website.
You'll see my actual name. I have a movie star name. I like it a lot. Um,
but there we go. Uh, Delta.
Uh, no, that's not a question.
Uh, uh. Sliger is talking about hot switching again.
Uh,
gun Gryphon is making an assumption about policies that are not announced.
Please make sure you read policies and
hand moderation office hours when they're available.
Um, another cow index size question.
Is there a system in place for submitting feature suggestions? Um,
there will be. We're working on it. We're working on it.
Um, once we start getting that out, it's probably gonna be a free for all.
And people are gonna be firing stuff at it. Left, right and centre. That's fine.
So it will take a while for us to get used
to how we're going to prioritise and implement user feedback.
Um, a
lot of times, um, when it comes to smaller things,
it might be that we can just do them when it comes to larger stuff.
Like someone might say, just like physics, right? That's a large
a feature that we need to plan and and and get in on the road map.
Lastly,
is there any thought of introducing a community contributed
to bounty boards and incentive of valuable feature proposals.
But we have enough features.
We don't need to provide an incentive for people to come up with them.
Like if you want a feature in
reignite you Should your primary motivator for having that feature
in resonate would be that you want it in.
Resonate Not that you want to be paid to come up with it.
Uh, is he have you considered a shortened lingo like res VR And
for
sake, I know a lot of people are putting the X in brackets. That's just a logo thing.
Like it's proto flux. It's not proto brackets flux.
You can write it however you want, of course, but like you don't need the brackets.
Um,
you can call it wherever you want. I've heard, um,
Resonate already called rezo. Someone called it res the other day.
Um, there is the very, very, like,
less than a percent chance that I was going to call the dog.
I was adopting Reggie after Resonate. So you know,
um, as for prof
Fox, some people call it flux. Some people call it PF. I've heard a few other ones.
It doesn't really matter whatever you like it.
Or like the ones that work will become known in the community.
Um
uh, And then the next question is,
have you can all consider working with credit
jams or MC crew to do monthly workshops,
avatars and work creations to help other users.
So Creator Jam is, um, a a separate third party company.
Um, we do work with them a lot on credit jam and MC stuff.
As for workshops, um creator Jam MC crew, they're welcome to do them.
I'd love to see them.
Uh, the mentor programme are probably also going to do workshops,
and maybe we'll also do workshop as well,
so they'll probably just be like workshops everywhere.
I was talking yesterday. You can listen to the recording.
I know it's two hours,
but you can listen to it if you if you're a true probable prime fan,
you'll listen to all of these recordings.
Um
uh, where I talk about a like a lesson like a classroom world for pro
fox.
Uh, Grey, Fox says,
Will it be OK to ask me questions again when the
audience attendance drops below 50 you can ask me questions again.
OK,
I'll skip the meme question because I just talked about them. Uh, picks.
Will there be a completely independent client from steam on release later on?
Probably, um, mostly for the sort of educational business world they don't like.
Steam, Um, for for regular users Who?
You know. Uh,
um, businesses like steam should be fine.
Um
uh, zero.
So it's good. Good afternoon.
Appreciate all the work from the day of team and community. This is glorious day.
Happy for launch on the sixth. Very happy. Yes, um,
very tired, too. But there we go.
Any expectations that we'll be able to stream, uh, once the game is fully launched?
20 anxiously.
Uh, the only,
like there is no real restriction on streaming
right now because we're in early access.
We are requesting that you do not,
um, but that we we're not enforcing that. We're not policing that
the moment we launch that, even that, like
request goes away. And we're still not policing that, et cetera.
There are moderation guidelines in terms of use
that you need to read and understand,
um, before you stream ideally, um, but if you're just streaming, you'll be fine.
Um,
of course, Until we launch, we'd rather you didn't.
Um dog. Bo says we'll be able to move items around more smoothly.
Inventories previously answered that about three times now,
so I'll have to listen to the recording.
Uh, Troy says, uh, well,
some of the things created with mods be able to integrate an A team in the game.
Yes. Um,
if you make a mod, please open an issue on our, um, track once it's available.
Um, about your mod, because most of the time I want to get those integrated.
And when I do integrate them, it's not that I hate you because you made a mod. It's just
I'm so sorry that you had to spend the time making in that mode.
If you if you enjoyed it, I apologise. We should have had that feature natively.
Uh, there are a couple of instances of that wish Dream. Oh, you had a great post.
That video on Twitter was really nice. Thank you for making that.
What are the minimum requirements you can recommend for hosting a head? The server?
I don't know. And I don't want to quote them.
I want to write them down and put them on the wiki
when it comes to requirements and stuff like that. Um,
I It's a lot of numbers and, like, I struggle to keep those in my head.
So, like, I want to write them down, put them on the wiki for you.
Um,
what a weird question. I'll read it, but I don't.
Grey Fox had asked, How much do you hate misuse of designated channels,
Especially when it comes to insects?
I don't think butterflies are classed as insects. I don't know.
I'm not a categorization wizard.
Actually failed that module in, uh, in college level biology. But there we go.
Um,
it's important to remember that if, um,
bods or any other person suggests that you take a conversation to another channel,
there are no hard feelings.
We're just like, hey,
that conversation would be better located in a different location.
Please Take it there.
Soraya.
Thank you for that pronunciation guide again.
I promise I will try and remember that, but I will probably forget it. I am so sorry.
My brain just works like that.
Uh, above, towards the road map. Get, uh, I talked about that previously.
So I'll skip that one.
cyber says, will there be a driver?
A driver finder?
Oh,
they're talking about the mod that lets you click
on a driven source and find the source.
Yes, at some point,
um,
the gas
change his mind about sauce. I don't think he ever changed his mind. Source source.
Resonate. Yes.
Uh, with stream. Will it be improvements in game modelling tools? Yes.
Uh, we want more generation of of of stuff like that. Once again, take a look at fr's
YouTube channel way.
In the past, there's a, like, procedural generation of, like,
terrain and all sorts back there.
Uh,
Margot says, What's the last restaurant you ate at? Did you enjoy it? Oh, gee, uh,
I honestly don't know.
Yeah, I honestly don't know.
Um,
any plans to revamp the settings menu?
Yes.
Gunn says I found that, uh, when converted into an avatar,
my character's hand bones get a little messed up and moved around.
I want to fix them, match the original position.
So a tutorial to fine tune hands. There is not one available.
If that's a bug like you think it's more than just, like, weird.
Um, make sure it's locked.
Uh, big question.
Jack, I'm so sorry.
Like,
I don't know if you wanted your week to
be about the differences between formal and informal German,
but that's your week now, Uh, apologies for that, Jack.
But thank you so much for looking at it.
So Jack asked a question. I'll explain it in a moment.
Um,
they're saying regarding the German local and our plans to split it in two files.
DE Jason and DEX Formal. Jason. How should we proceed currently?
My pending PR contains the additions to the
previous single German file For simplicity's sake.
Should I keep the PR open until it's merged?
Or should I start throwing changes working into the two local files?
Let's get a good quality. Um, translated D Jason,
And then we can look into the formal informal. Later.
Um, we'll have to Yeah, we'll have to make some changes in the code, um,
to to handle the formal informal thing.
Um, but let's make sure we have a good D Jason to start with.
For those who are confused,
German has two different ways of sort of saying lots
of things a formal way and an informal way.
And, um, the German community of which Jackie is a member,
thinks that both should be supporters who are trying to do that.
Um, these concepts exist in English. Um, you know, majority of us listening here.
English is the language that we speak.
Um, but we don't make distinctions that are as hard as as German. Right.
Germans like structure changes when you're speaking informal,
whereas in English, we just use different words.
So instead of saying like,
Hi, it's like, Good morning or dear sir or madam, yours sincerely.
Yours faithfully. I can never remember the rules from that one. I just signed.
Thanks. Now,
in fact, all of my emails just have thanks, like about 40 times in it.
It's a British thing, though.
Uh,
Margot is requesting for migrated folders to go anywhere
other than the route not supported right now.
No plans to support it. Sorry.
He says, Are there any
Which is you're attempting,
aiming to implement or at least considering and resonate
that you are hesitant to tackle? Uh,
we never want to break community content.
Sometimes we need to uh a good example will be the linear colour thing.
You'll notice that, uh, a notice appears in the world saying like, Hey, um,
uh, like
we we made some updates to your world.
If it looks terrible, here's some stuff to do about it. Et cetera.
Uh, what was the Twitter video uh
mentioned? Uh, which stream has a good Twitter video? Uh, they can.
They can link it if they would like to.
Um, Margo says, what is source source is a, um,
open source rendering engine by a team called void
Anchor.
Um, that Resonate is planning to use later once it's ready
mentally ask for in a company thread.
Yeah, there's a little a little like thing there.
Uh, modern. Ask what's the internal mesh format for that resonate uses.
So we take all meshes that go for, um
that go through. They go through an open source library called as
I. I know it's it's
It's an unfortunate name, but it goes through
and gets converted into our internal format. Mesh X, which is like Jason with legs.
That sounds horrible.
Erin says. Butterflies are insects.
Great.
Thank you for clarifying that I did fail the classification module of, um,
college level biology.
I just couldn't get my head. It was like Latin.
You know
any, um, plans to make UIX creations easier or to simplify? Uh, yeah.
Uh, we want to make that better. I'd love for more U
IX stuff to be in the create new menu.
Uh, Jack saying good things about the the formal thing.
Yeah, I think it's good to just not block the
the benefit that we get from having a translation
of any kind. Um on the whole form of versus in for things so good on that
resident
Cade says,
I remember desktop having weird behaviour or your hand
points to cursor cursor gets put on your hand.
Sometimes hand rotates to your head and then cursor resets,
resulting in constant hand twitching.
And he plans to improve that,
uh, you'll probably have to log a bug on that one.
Sometimes it's just like cool. Um, Grey, Fox says, Well, English,
British be different than English. Simplified American,
Um, we actually do have an EN GB locale file.
It's mostly a joke because there's only, like, 33 do dads in it.
But like not three did. I don't know how many There's only a few do dads in it.
A good example being colour. Uh, Z
says perhaps we should enable slow bid on this chat to help prevent regular comic.
Just keep it going. I don't mind. We're almost at the bottom.
Um,
any improvements coming soon for the game to listen?
OK, I gotta take the hydration reminder There
are there.
Are there any improvements coming soon for the
toia
conversion process?
If there are issues that you're having, you'll have to lock them in the, um,
on the bug reporter.
We are aware of some and S
is working on those, but, um, there are probably more that we're not aware of.
Um, on gits Hydration Reminder.
There's a couple of people that have reacted with the gun emoji.
Interesting story about the gun emoji. Um,
I don't want to get political here for a moment, but you'll notice how
it wasn't always a squirt gun, but now it is almost everywhere.
Uh, you can think about that. How you'd wish I don't have an opinion either way.
I'm just saying it's very interesting.
It used to be an actual gun. Now, pretty much everywhere. It's a squirt gun.
Uh, wish stream says other plans to have drag and drop interface for the inventory.
I'm not sure Dragon drop will be how it's done. Maybe Probably.
Um I don't I don't personally, like drag and drop. Of course.
Um, my opinion isn't the be all and end all It's a team decision, et cetera.
Um I hope I hope it's I hope we have something.
That is is Dragon drop or isn't Dragon drop? I hope we have both.
If we have dragon drop, I hope we have a way to do it. That isn't Dragon drop.
I don't like dragon drop at all. Um, it's an accessibility nightmare.
Modern Other plans for the animation system to be what reworked, uh,
finished would be a better word.
Blend trees would be great.
Um
is the first resonate twitch stream gonna be on release day? I don't know.
Um Raith and Neon
would know that for for for certain,
uh, thoughts on II. I don't like the only mention.
The only one I look for is Q and the checkmark.
All the other reactions are just other than the gun or just weird.
Um,
is there a system in place for crossword variables. Uh,
I want a train that travels between sessions. Uh,
you can do that. It's just very difficult to do it.
There is crossword variables, but they wouldn't, like help you with a train.
Um,
they wouldn't help you with a train.
Uh, there are ways to sort of do something like that, though,
was it?
I don't know exactly who did it.
But people who are either in new project final,
final or adjacent to new project Final final They made a spaceship in an M MC world.
Not an M MC world.
A credit jam world that could be very good for for transiting between sessions.
Um, as for crossword variables, you're looking for cloud variables.
Um,
sizzle.
I gather dec compilation of resonant files is not against the U, though,
When it comes to bug reporting.
Would you like to give, uh,
suggestions as to code issues if we think we see the source of the problem?
No.
Um, unfortunately, decom
leads a lot of artefacts that don't make any sense. Um, as a good example.
Here we have code generation
that runs on a lot of our stuff That makes it really really ugly,
but really performant.
And so your dec compilation, um, is probably going to give you a headache.
Um, if you start doing that, I also don't want that to become a thing,
because we start getting bug reports where it's like
guys you're using ifs You should be using switch statements.
If anyone's a programmer, they know that argument not having it.
Please just report the bug as though you hadn't DEC compiled it.
Uh, decom population is more for just mod makers. Plug-in makers etcetera from scap
ba ba
ba
beep,
beep.
Um
um
uh, proto
flux
pro
flux packing was changed. Um, it it
it it.
Ok, give me Give me, like, 10 seconds. I'm gonna just mute a giggle for 10 seconds
from scrap Savage. It was missed last time.
Will you be able to ping the API for a list of components or flux
and the directories for building search objects?
No,
uh, or they Maybe in the future.
Uh, Mela,
That sounds like a sort of DC comics villain.
Um, is there a timeline for when we can start submitting public bug reports?
We'll let you know the moment we can, Uh, no timeline right now.
It should be very soon. I just I don't have a date. Um,
hunt to the ground says its a bit of a nebulous question,
but only changes to increasing threading.
Yes, uh,
anywhere that is not multithreaded that
has an opportunity to become multithreaded.
We want to multi thread it. Of course. Um, I think this I maybe I don't remember.
I'd have to speak to freaks again.
Uh, dog bo is asking about Tell
root. Uh, tell root is not available.
Uh, that sounds like a This virus is not available. Uh, tell root is rectified. Um, in
reignite a B
ask about tab to such an input fields. That is earlier on in the, uh,
earlier on in the duple do, uh, last question I can see right now is have I seen office
Office? Cat prime? Yes, I did. See office C
prime.
Um
uh, gun asks, uh, is mono packing proto fox Still a thing? And is it still a bad idea?
Never.
Never,
ever,
ever.
Mono pack proto
If you do, you fundamentally misunderstand how proto fo
works.
Proto fox takes the nodes that you create and already
does like the equivalent of mono packing for you.
It builds like a whole.
I get the wrong words.
Because again, I haven't dived into the abyss,
which is the magic that fruits did when he made proto.
But just don't do it.
Promise me, guys. You won't do it.
I
don't.
It's the the the performance improvements are were already minuscule previously.
Now they're, like, beyond miniscule. Don't do it,
I. I just I talked about
it. It's
Oh, you mean, um,
yeah, we're looking into ways to handle if worse things come out.
Uh, where's the proto fox cheese module? Uh, you can look in constant.
Um, I have a mean node in consonance there. That was added.
It doesn't actually work, though. I need to fix it.
Uh, what
says last one from them?
Is there a way to start a session from a world via Proto fox? There is, um
I don't want to say that because it is quite complicated.
It's amazing, but it is quite complicated.
So unpack the teleporter that is in the tutorial world,
and you'll see how that's done.
All right, so I still see people typing.
I'm gonna say that we're going to cut questions off in, like,
two minutes,
so keep typing for an additional two minutes and I'll get back to you. All right?
We've got a question from Shadow River. Is that plan to support VR Avatar
import?
Um,
I don't know on that.
One would have to go ahead and take a look at the red amounts that's available.
Uh, for us. Is there a list somewhere of all the favourable objects in Resonate?
Uh, no. But I can get you on right now,
and I'll be doing like,
one of the tutorial priorities I have is the favourable objects.
Uh, dog boat asks for,
actually. Hold on. Margaret says, do you have any plans for after this office hours?
I'm gonna finish my drinks.
Uh, stand up, check my mail. Uh, and then probably
on fixing some some bugs and issues for for launch.
I might take a little break before that, though, but like,
it's difficult for me to take breaks right now.
Um,
all right, so I'm getting that list for for,
um, uh, dog bosses component search in the add context menu, please.
Uh, yes, at some point.
Uh, sino
says any plan to support gifts. Not sure. Gifts look like a dieing format.
I'm not sure if you're aware, but like most gifts
that you use in discord, et cetera are actually Web P. Usually,
Um, Gunn says text to UVS can be offset on the XY, but can they be rotated?
I'd like them to be rotated to. Not currently.
That will be a graphical things to ask in. Um,
needs his office hours about that one. Now me ask a question I can't answer.
Uh,
all right, let me get me, Uh, get your first thingy. Um, makes it sound weird.
I'm
getting you a thingy.
I hope you enjoy the thingy. Here you go. Here's Here's a thingy.
Uh,
Metronic, uh yes. Sorry. I was just double checking. I missed anyone. Megaron
says is there a method for creating custom?
Proto fox knows that can calculate larger code into a shareable form. Not yet.
Margo says is text display interface for pasted text. It is shadow.
You're the last person to allow it to answer questions. And no more questions.
I wanted to type hammer, but I typed hamburger instead.
Ok,
um
uh,
that isn't even a question. OK? Yeah, we We're done. We're done.
We're not going for two hours again.
That is, that is it for today.
We'll go ahead and we'll be launching again into a third session,
which should cover the whole planet.
Um, it'll be tomorrow. Check the post in, um,
office hours. General questions for timing on that one.
The permanent schedule for office hours is TBD. But once it is established,
there should be an event created in this discord as well.
Discord has an event system that should help out, as will the schedule for other, um,
office hours.
I mentioned them yesterday, but moderation will have one.
gas
wants to do graphics, office hours, or they may be infrequently every two weeks.
Once a month, maybe
wants to do a design one at some point. That might be every month.
I would love to see one with fruit. Somehow,
it might be a little bit crazy, so we'll have to see how we can do that one.
I want to see,
uh, maybe a mentor. One would be good as well.
The mentees could come in, take some questions.
Maybe the content team as well.
I would love like a content Team One where they can talk about how they made, um,
how they made the cloud home, etcetera.
That'd be great.
Uh, if you any other out.
If you got any other ideas to let us know
and I'll get back to you soon we'll be live again tomorrow. Speak to you guys soon.
