00:07:17Grazie per la visione!

00:07:19è così large, uno può perdere in questo senso molto facilmente.

00:07:23Quindi possiamo vedere l'avventura, la fog, è una sorta di horror atmosfera,

00:07:28quindi magari, non lo so, magari potrebbero costruire qualcosa,

00:07:31che è sempre soddisfatto.

00:07:32Cosa di AAA?

00:07:33Non so, un'anti-arocripto artillare.

00:07:37E' molto facile da fare.

00:07:39Quindi abbiamo creato l'objectivo,

00:07:40i playeri saranno avanti,

00:07:42quindi dovremmo realizzare un AAA.

00:07:45Quindi in questo modo,

00:07:46è davvero molto freeforma,

00:07:48quindi gli erano in questo modo,

00:07:50quindi abbiamo già dato un'obiettive.

00:07:52Non proprio in un'altra in un'altra in grado,

00:07:54un'altra in grado,

00:07:56un'altra in grado.

00:07:57Quindi anche se,

00:07:58un'altra in grado,

00:07:59quindi magari è vicino a che si tratta,

00:08:01che è molto interessante.

00:08:03Oh!

00:08:04Ce che vediamo,

00:08:05è un'egle,

00:08:07non solo il gimmick,

00:08:09è un'egle circolando Zeus' s'camera.

00:08:12Quindi i players in grado,

00:08:13se si vedono e vedono,

00:08:15è un'egle che Zeus' s'è vicino.

00:08:17and they really have to behave.

00:08:21So, from the player's point of view, what's going on in the mission now?

00:08:24Well, let's take a look.

00:08:27Maybe we could also give them some task,

00:08:29that they shouldn't raise enemy's alarm.

00:08:32That could be interesting, so they should sneak around

00:08:35and not just engage combat.

00:08:36I suppose while we're looking at what the players are doing,

00:08:39they're surrounded by some sort of border.

00:08:42It's related to a question from Reddit,

00:08:44one of the guys, Sangustin, he asks,

00:08:47well, in the teaser we saw something that looked like a force field around the players.

00:08:52What is that?

00:08:54Does it limit where Zeus can edit, or what's its purpose?

00:08:57Yeah, in this mission, as I explained, it limits the area

00:09:00that we basically cannot edit around players.

00:09:05But it's all mission-based, so there can be mission,

00:09:08for example, sector control,

00:09:10there can be Zeus capturing,

00:09:11well, players will be capturing sectors for Zeus,

00:09:13and every sector would unlock Zeus a new editing area,

00:09:17or maybe there could be mission without this limitation whatsoever.

00:09:21If you trust Zeus, maybe you can create mission without it.

00:09:24So all of this is driven by mission and by mission designer,

00:09:27how he decides to configure it.

00:09:29So in this particular game of Game Master,

00:09:32the players have a little exclusion zone around them

00:09:35and Zeus can't put things in you.

00:09:37Precisely.

00:09:37His job is to create objectives on the fly,

00:09:40make compositions, place units for them.

00:09:43Yeah, for presentation purpose we are playing with something we call God Mode in this,

00:09:47that everything we have now is unlocked and it's for free,

00:09:50but you see the yellow bar on top,

00:09:51if we wouldn't be playing with this God Mode,

00:09:55then everything we include would cost something,

00:09:57and if basically the bar would disappear,

00:10:00then we couldn't build anything.

00:10:01of course, now we want to really showcase it properly.

00:10:05And in this situation, there's just one Zeus,

00:10:07but there was a question on our forums,

00:10:10actually one of our moderators, Mayonnaise,

00:10:11he asked, is it possible to have multiple Game Masters?

00:10:16Again, it's based on mission, there could be as many Game Masters as a designer will configure it.

00:10:21Right in this mission, we are playing as a lone game master,

00:10:26so we have to both create new stuff,

00:10:28and at the same time we have to maintain the stuff.

00:10:31So for example, now we are creating a new objective,

00:10:34and we will activate it only later on.

00:10:37The thing is, we have to still make sure that we are following players,

00:10:41and then we have to remember to reactivate it.

00:10:42On the other hand, this mission, it has second Zeus role,

00:10:47it's not currently filled,

00:10:49so if we are admin, then the other guy would be more like moderator.

00:10:53He cannot build new stuff by default,

00:10:56but he can modify our stuff.

00:10:58So for example, we build a tank platoon here,

00:11:00or then a fire team there,

00:11:02and we move forward to move some new stuff,

00:11:05meanwhile he maintains his following player,

00:11:07and he would maintain that their experience is not too difficult.

00:11:10and not too easy.

00:11:11So in this mode, we just have one Zeus,

00:11:14but it's possible to have multiple,

00:11:16and even have different kinds of roles.

00:11:18So you can have one that's creating mission flow for the players,

00:11:21and another one maybe creating compositions,

00:11:23and then setting things up.

00:11:24I can even imagine something from war conflict,

00:11:26for example, one Zeus for ground units,

00:11:28one Zeus for air units,

00:11:30the possibilities are endless.

00:11:32Well, that relates to another question

00:11:33a few people have asked,

00:11:35but I noticed one on Reddit from Prodigal27,

00:11:38he asked,

00:11:40is it possible to create presets of objects or compositions?

00:11:43Because here we see Philip is just placing things on the fly.

00:11:46Is there any way to maybe create something beforehand

00:11:49and put it down?

00:11:51Did you place the AAA?

00:11:52Maybe we could show actually placing some small fire teams.

00:11:55So now we are,

00:11:56you could see on top right,

00:11:58there's like unit tabs and group tabs,

00:12:00so we can insert multiple soldiers at the same time.

00:12:03This is feature already available in 2D editor.

00:12:06By the way, did you place some patrol around AAA?

00:12:09It could be beneficial as well.

00:12:12So, but these are only AIs,

00:12:14and right now what's not possible in this beta build,

00:12:17but what we really want to include later on

00:12:19is compositions of empty objects.

00:12:22Yeah.

00:12:22For example, road block or some small FOB

00:12:25for operating base.

00:12:26So you would need to place sandbag by sandbag,

00:12:29and you would just one click and it would be all there.

00:12:31And ideally, even later on,

00:12:34these would be like pre-configured by us or by some add-on,

00:12:37and ideally we would want that,

00:12:39let's say you spend some time creating nice composition,

00:12:42and you don't want to rebuild it every time again.

00:12:45So you would just select it and save it to your presets,

00:12:47and it would be saved to your profile,

00:12:49and it would be available in every further use game.

00:12:52Cool.

00:12:52So not right now, but maybe soon.

00:12:54Yeah, definitely.

00:12:55Like I said, this is beta build,

00:12:57and it can do very core stuff,

00:13:01manipulation objects,

00:13:02a lot of mission flow,

00:13:04but there's still a lot to do,

00:13:06and we have some specific roadmap.

00:13:08Well, I can see here that we had

00:13:10a bunch of the default units in the sandbox.

00:13:13Armor 3 has a lot of range of units

00:13:16and vehicles and helicopters and whatnot.

00:13:19That all comes sort of by vanilla game by default.

00:13:22What about custom add-ons, custom units and vehicles?

00:13:25Is that supported by Zeus?

00:13:26Again, completely based on mission.

00:13:28Let's say you install some cool add-on

00:13:30of a tank or a weapon,

00:13:32it won't automatically appear in all Zeus missions,

00:13:35because it could easily unbalance them.

00:13:37But then mission maker creating any scenario

00:13:40can download that add-on and decide,

00:13:43OK, I will configure it for my Zeus mission,

00:13:45I will unlock it, I will assign its cost,

00:13:48and then Zeus will have it available.

00:13:51So Zeus is something like a framework

00:13:52that people can plug into,

00:13:54that they can use their own mods

00:13:55and make their own missions based on

00:13:58what they like playing with.

00:13:59Bohemia Interactive,

00:14:00making the games fully modable since 2001.

00:14:03Respect.

00:14:04Cool.

00:14:04So what's going on now in the mission?

00:14:06Where are we?

00:14:07Well, the players are slowly approaching.

00:14:10Did they alerted Intel to some patrols?

00:14:11or did they?

00:14:12It seems they have managed to,

00:14:13maybe, yeah, maybe turn the vehicle back.

00:14:16Now they don't expect it.

00:14:18So they're slowly approaching,

00:14:19they have tasks to remain stealth,

00:14:21so it seems they are approaching very slowly,

00:14:26they are covering their sectors.

00:14:28So you can give AI units their own objectives

00:14:32and waypoints on the fly?

00:14:33Precisely,

00:14:34and even in the editing zone,

00:14:35while I can't create anything there,

00:14:37I still can give waypoints there,

00:14:39so AI would put their,

00:14:40it seems they crossed the road,

00:14:42they are split into two fire teams,

00:14:43and let's see if they,

00:14:45oh yeah,

00:14:46we've put their now birds,

00:14:50so...

00:14:51Because why not?

00:14:53Yeah, like,

00:14:54you know it from movies

00:14:55that you're approaching

00:14:56some stealth location.

00:14:57Because they're on the fire.

00:14:58Oh yeah,

00:14:59they were spotted,

00:15:00so let's see now how they are,

00:15:02yeah, back to birds,

00:15:03it's like, you know,

00:15:04from movies,

00:15:04you scare some flock of birds

00:15:06and they will fly in the air

00:15:08and warn players.

00:15:10So just what we saw there was,

00:15:12Philip changed the mission flow,

00:15:14their task was to stay undetected,

00:15:16the AI found them.

00:15:17That's a custom objective that is given

00:15:19that he's failed for them.

00:15:20So the guys on the ground now know

00:15:22that they failed it.

00:15:24And what happened to the guy that died?

00:15:27Maybe first we could fail the objective.

00:15:29So he starts back at the respawn point.

00:15:32Yeah, we could now, for example,

00:15:34decide to move the respawn point further.

00:15:36Or if players would really struggle,

00:15:38we can, for example,

00:15:39mark one player to be a respawn point.

00:15:42So we would, for example,

00:15:43respawn on a leader.

00:15:45Yeah, now insert a respawn point

00:15:46to this small camp.

00:15:48But let's see if they will flee

00:15:50from that vehicle

00:15:52or if they attack it.

00:15:53Maybe send it at them again.

00:15:56Oh, nice.

00:15:57So they've got AT guy with them.

00:15:58So it seems they adapted quite well.

00:16:01And what about taking over control

00:16:03of the AI yourself?

00:16:05Like we just gave a waypoint to a hunter.

00:16:07Is it possible to embody the AI on the fly?

00:16:10Let's say you want to take over

00:16:12being a sniper,

00:16:12do something very specific

00:16:14that the AI maybe can't do?

00:16:15Yeah, it would be an emergency scenario.

00:16:18I place a marksman

00:16:19and then switch to him

00:16:20and snipe away from distance.

00:16:22Definitely on the list.

00:16:23Again, in this battle build,

00:16:24it's not yet available.

00:16:26We still didn't figure out precisely

00:16:27how it should be controlled.

00:16:29There are several variants.

00:16:30But yeah, it's on the list.

00:16:32It sounds really cool.

00:16:33So...

00:16:33A bit unfair image.

00:16:34You place a helicopter switch to it

00:16:36and totally spam it

00:16:37and it plays with dragons.

00:16:38So, to answer Gonzo's question

00:16:41on the forums,

00:16:42that you can't take over the AI right now,

00:16:44but it's certainly something

00:16:45that we really want to see in the game.

00:16:47Absolutely.

00:16:47We think you can really

00:16:47make some cool gameplay with that.

00:16:50It's not that powerful

00:16:51because, yeah,

00:16:52you take control of AI,

00:16:53but at the same time

00:16:54you would lose this big picture

00:16:56you couldn't control.

00:16:57So, even players would know

00:17:00that they are not under a basic...

00:17:04Yeah, a big bird couldn't see them,

00:17:06so maybe if they were warned

00:17:07they could even exploit the fire.

00:17:08And what about...

00:17:09Well, Alias on our forums asked,

00:17:11is it, you know...

00:17:13So far Zeus seems to maybe

00:17:14not have a physical presence

00:17:16in the world,

00:17:16but can he be a player

00:17:17in a mission

00:17:18and switch back and forth

00:17:19into this point of view?

00:17:21Or...

00:17:22How does that work?

00:17:22Well, right now,

00:17:23in this mission...

00:17:24Could you maybe see what they're doing?

00:17:26In this mission,

00:17:27we are more of a virtual entity.

00:17:29We are divine presence

00:17:30above the battlefield,

00:17:32untouchable, unkillable.

00:17:34Obviously, that's...

00:17:36The thing is,

00:17:36we can't now leave the interface,

00:17:38but since the system

00:17:40was fully modable,

00:17:41then...

00:17:42It can work even

00:17:43with normal soldiers.

00:17:44Always one player

00:17:45can control Zeus,

00:17:46the other one

00:17:47can always have access.

00:17:48But it can be

00:17:49even normal soldiers.

00:17:50So imagine,

00:17:51in a mission,

00:17:51you're playing with your friends

00:17:53in a fire team,

00:17:54for example, one of them.

00:17:55And then the mission designer

00:17:57prepared the mission,

00:17:57so you can anytime

00:17:58switch to Zeus interface.

00:18:00Like, let's say you're playing,

00:18:01you find it,

00:18:02oh, this is too easy,

00:18:03we need some proper challenge.

00:18:04So you switch to Zeus,

00:18:06put there some helicopter

00:18:07or another fire team

00:18:08or even a tank,

00:18:09switch back,

00:18:10and you continue playing the mission.

00:18:12Zeus can be even...

00:18:13Yeah, it can be now tied

00:18:15to a specific player role,

00:18:16so in the multiplayer lobby,

00:18:17you assign yourself to the role.

00:18:20But it can be also tied

00:18:21to a server admin,

00:18:23so only he would have access

00:18:25to Zeus interface,

00:18:26whoever he is.

00:18:27Okay, so in summary,

00:18:29in this particular mode

00:18:31we have here,

00:18:31we're just a divine presence,

00:18:33not part of the battlefield,

00:18:34but depending on how

00:18:35a mission maker wants to set it up,

00:18:37you can go back and forth

00:18:38between different places.

00:18:39Precisely.

00:18:40So, what's happening right now?

00:18:41What did we just see there?

00:18:42Where are the players?

00:18:46They seem to be stuck on the fortress,

00:18:50maybe they're expecting

00:18:51some bigger attack,

00:18:53but no,

00:18:54it's actually they're moving

00:18:55to the graveyard.

00:18:58Their task is to destroy AA.

00:19:00Once they destroy AA,

00:19:01we're planning to give them

00:19:02some air support,

00:19:03so create a helicopter,

00:19:05which will help

00:19:05with final attack at Turgis.

00:19:07But it seems there's

00:19:08some surprise on the way,

00:19:10and those are soldiers

00:19:11in the buildings.

00:19:12Which you have a real fine

00:19:13control over placing

00:19:15individual units

00:19:16that height or orientation.

00:19:17Precisely.

00:19:19One cool thing,

00:19:20which we may show also later,

00:19:22oh yeah,

00:19:22now we actually group soldiers,

00:19:24so AI is more efficient,

00:19:26they are a shared target.

00:19:27Maybe some empty vehicles

00:19:28to warn player

00:19:31that there is something,

00:19:33some surprise ahead.

00:19:37One thing,

00:19:37which I added,

00:19:40for example,

00:19:41it could be easily broken

00:19:42if you, for example,

00:19:43took a vehicle

00:19:44and our soldier

00:19:46move him like

00:19:4750 or 100 meters in the air,

00:19:49so what maybe,

00:19:50well,

00:19:51that may be a bit too much,

00:19:52maybe,

00:19:52maybe they would expect it

00:19:54to be,

00:19:56oh,

00:19:57you destroy the vehicle.

00:19:58Oh yeah,

00:19:59Zeus can delete

00:19:59every object,

00:20:01but he can also,

00:20:01by pressing single key,

00:20:03destroy it.

00:20:04Now,

00:20:04but how do we now explain

00:20:05why is there a burning vehicle

00:20:08who destroyed it?

00:20:09That's a question.

00:20:11Because,

00:20:12Zeus,

00:20:12while he has full power

00:20:14over the mission,

00:20:15he should still,

00:20:15ideally,

00:20:16if he wants to follow

00:20:17the military approach,

00:20:19he should still think

00:20:20about the logic,

00:20:22so now we better explain

00:20:23to players

00:20:23why is there a burning vehicle.

00:20:25so,

00:20:26in this game master mode,

00:20:29the objectives

00:20:30are made by us,

00:20:31but what about

00:20:32other modes?

00:20:34is there any more structured

00:20:35sort of activity

00:20:36that Zeus has to do,

00:20:38or that the players

00:20:38have to,

00:20:39have to work with?

00:20:40Well,

00:20:40one thing I implemented

00:20:41is sort of,

00:20:42Zeus challenges,

00:20:44by the way,

00:20:45it seemed,

00:20:45oh yeah,

00:20:45this is smart,

00:20:46it seems that he created

00:20:47some dead bodies

00:20:48and,

00:20:49the story is that

00:20:50under the fire team

00:20:50was probably a bit

00:20:52its own mission

00:20:53was ended.

00:20:53So he's making like

00:20:54a story on the fly

00:20:55based on what the players

00:20:57are doing at the moment.

00:20:59We're getting back to

00:21:00the kind of modes,

00:21:02outside of this

00:21:03sort of,

00:21:04very unscripted,

00:21:06make your own story

00:21:07sort of game mode,

00:21:08the game master mode.

00:21:09What else,

00:21:10what other options are there?

00:21:12Well,

00:21:13in the missions,

00:21:13we have a system

00:21:14of Zeus challenges,

00:21:17where,

00:21:17he has missions of his own.

00:21:19So imagine,

00:21:20he starts with not

00:21:21everything unlocked

00:21:22like we have now

00:21:22in god mode,

00:21:23but,

00:21:24he would have for example,

00:21:25I don't know,

00:21:25soldiers and vehicles,

00:21:27and he would have to

00:21:28complete his own challenges

00:21:29to unlock more stuff.

00:21:31And those challenges

00:21:32could be like,

00:21:33for example,

00:21:34let players destroy

00:21:35specific type of vehicle

00:21:37like a tank,

00:21:37or a ship,

00:21:38or let players shoot

00:21:39from a sniper rifle.

00:21:41And then,

00:21:41he would have to,

00:21:42for example,

00:21:42then put their vehicle

00:21:44and give objective to players

00:21:46where you have to put their

00:21:47like sniper team.

00:21:48So they would

00:21:49loot the bodies

00:21:50and take the sniper rifles.

00:21:53And then,

00:21:54once they complete

00:21:55these challenges,

00:21:56Zeus would get

00:21:58new stuff

00:21:58and new set

00:21:59of challenges.

00:22:00So this is one

00:22:01sort of game mode

00:22:02where Zeus himself

00:22:03has some

00:22:04specific sort of

00:22:05unlock challenges

00:22:06to do.

00:22:09Yeah.

00:22:11and then,

00:22:11a beer.

00:22:12Is my voice getting

00:22:13a bit dry?

00:22:14Yes.

00:22:15And we are in the Czech

00:22:15probably.

00:22:17Thank you very much.

00:22:19That's what he said.

00:22:19Maybe we could give them

00:22:20even objective

00:22:21that investigate

00:22:23Bravo team.

00:22:24It's always Bravo

00:22:25who gets into trouble.

00:22:26But if you play Flashpoint,

00:22:27you know that.

00:22:29However,

00:22:30would CSAT army

00:22:31use Bravo?

00:22:31What's CSAT

00:22:33Phonetic Alpha?

00:22:34That's your question.

00:22:35That's terrific.

00:22:36Advantage.

00:22:37Now we are putting

00:22:38objective.

00:22:38Advantage of these objectives

00:22:40you see that we have

00:22:41to put their title

00:22:42and then

00:22:44mapmarker

00:22:44and full description

00:22:45but also the recent

00:22:46category.

00:22:48You don't need

00:22:48to write tasks

00:22:49every now and

00:22:50every time again.

00:22:51You're trying to

00:22:52streamline the control.

00:22:53So now when you

00:22:54show the recent

00:22:56list

00:22:56combo books

00:22:57you see all tasks

00:22:58we created before

00:22:59are now saved

00:23:00and we can get

00:23:01to them

00:23:02even

00:23:02in their self presently.

00:23:04So any further gain

00:23:05even after

00:23:06exiting the game

00:23:07and returning to it

00:23:08next day

00:23:09or next week

00:23:10you would still have

00:23:10those tasks

00:23:11and you could then

00:23:12quickly create objectives.

00:23:16This is custom objective

00:23:17which completes

00:23:18which you have to

00:23:19complete by yourself

00:23:20but you can see

00:23:21on riders

00:23:22like attack, defend

00:23:23or move objective

00:23:24and you just place them

00:23:25and you can forget

00:23:26about them

00:23:27they will complete

00:23:28automatically

00:23:29based on condition.

00:23:30so move objective

00:23:32means players

00:23:33reach the area

00:23:34and it will compete

00:23:35automatically

00:23:36and attack and defend

00:23:37means that when players

00:23:39neutralize all enemy

00:23:40opposition

00:23:40then they will capture it.

00:23:42What I like about that

00:23:43is because

00:23:44Army 3 has always

00:23:45been this big

00:23:47sandbox of things

00:23:48to play with

00:23:49and people have made

00:23:49their missions

00:23:50co-op multiplayer.

00:23:52But it works again.

00:23:52this mode

00:23:54seems to be able

00:23:54to really cater

00:23:56to that kind

00:23:58of mission maker

00:23:59someone that wants

00:23:59to make missions

00:24:00for his friends

00:24:01either play

00:24:02alongside them

00:24:03or play against them.

00:24:04yeah

00:24:06we are now playing

00:24:07co-op scenario

00:24:07of course

00:24:08you can play

00:24:09PvP scenario

00:24:10so imagine you start

00:24:11with this blank canvas

00:24:12and you just put

00:24:13five sectors

00:24:14you put their countdown

00:24:15you put their respawn tickets

00:24:17and you get sector control

00:24:18and then you just

00:24:20worry about some

00:24:21compositions

00:24:22or effects

00:24:22like

00:24:23you can play even

00:24:24audio

00:24:25like alarm

00:24:26or battlefield sounds

00:24:28which sadly didn't get

00:24:29to this build

00:24:29so imagine

00:24:30distant fire

00:24:31or distant artillery

00:24:38oh yeah

00:24:39let's see them

00:24:40they don't seem

00:24:41expect

00:24:42any opposition

00:24:43in the buildings

00:24:44maybe the guy

00:24:45on the balcony

00:24:46could stand up

00:24:47oh too light

00:24:48so the AI

00:24:49we placed

00:24:50is just dynamically

00:24:51reacting to

00:24:52the players

00:24:52and the players

00:24:54are moving here

00:24:55to do what exactly

00:24:56where is the

00:24:57AA vehicle

00:24:58it's further ahead

00:24:59now we

00:25:00because we had

00:25:00this destroyed vehicle

00:25:02it was like

00:25:02stored

00:25:03that Bravo Team

00:25:04got in trouble

00:25:04so maybe we didn't

00:25:05complete the objective

00:25:08so

00:25:08we investigated

00:25:10mission well done

00:25:11so we have tasks

00:25:12that

00:25:12you know update

00:25:13for all of the players

00:25:14even join in progress

00:25:16that sort of thing

00:25:16precisely

00:25:17so this is like

00:25:18a module

00:25:19that you place in Zeus

00:25:20but is that also

00:25:21in the rest of the game

00:25:22like task modules

00:25:23precisely

00:25:23most of these modules

00:25:24like all of these modules

00:25:26you actually see

00:25:26are includeable

00:25:28and editor

00:25:29and

00:25:29yeah like

00:25:31the thing is

00:25:31if you have editor

00:25:32if you have real time editor

00:25:34or normal editor

00:25:34it would be

00:25:35quite a waste of resources

00:25:36if you were to do

00:25:38some functionality

00:25:38just for one of them

00:25:40so it benefits

00:25:41the whole game

00:25:42with these modules

00:25:43that you've been developing

00:25:44precisely

00:25:44you can see now

00:25:45it's getting dark

00:25:46so when players move

00:25:47to the city

00:25:48there will be a lot of

00:25:49lights from street lamps

00:25:52like

00:25:52the thing is

00:25:53any time

00:25:54switch time

00:25:55obviously

00:25:55it would be

00:25:57not natural

00:25:58what I want to do

00:25:59there

00:26:00is to blackout screen

00:26:01and write there

00:26:02like several hours later

00:26:03so even when we switch

00:26:05during the mission

00:26:05it would look

00:26:06sort of like

00:26:07it's intended

00:26:08it's part of the game plan

00:26:09but weather and time

00:26:10is synchronized

00:26:11across multiplayer

00:26:12and for join in progress

00:26:13yes

00:26:14but

00:26:15it's still not it

00:26:16automatically

00:26:17our programmers

00:26:17are looking at issue

00:26:18right now

00:26:19and there's scripted proof of concept

00:26:21for that

00:26:21in this mission

00:26:22it's synchronized

00:26:22so whatever zoo sets

00:26:23every players will see

00:26:24definitely we're looking

00:26:26into a proper implementation

00:26:27DAISY implemented it

00:26:28some time ago

00:26:28and players wanted it

00:26:31for a long time

00:26:31so

00:26:32it should work like that

00:26:34work in progress

00:26:36maybe

00:26:36some green

00:26:37cam lights

00:26:38on the graveyard

00:26:40to produce

00:26:40a proper spooky atmosphere

00:26:42so we've seen

00:26:43you know

00:26:44placing entities

00:26:45being able to manipulate

00:26:47and rotate them

00:26:47creating objectives

00:26:49creating objectives

00:26:50succeeding

00:26:51and changing those objectives

00:26:53what else would you say

00:26:54is like

00:26:54a really core part

00:26:56of what Zeus has to offer

00:26:58well

00:26:59the fact that you can build

00:27:00the whole story

00:27:01not apart from tasks

00:27:03you can also

00:27:03add a diary item

00:27:05so you can really

00:27:05explain missions to detail

00:27:08which sadly can't be shown here

00:27:09because

00:27:10it didn't get to this

00:27:10beta build as well

00:27:11as like Intel object

00:27:12so you insert some

00:27:14I don't

00:27:14document file

00:27:16or photo

00:27:16you give it some

00:27:17some picture

00:27:18like for example

00:27:19satellite picture

00:27:19and players can go

00:27:21and grab it

00:27:21collect it

00:27:23it's a real story building tool

00:27:24precisely

00:27:26it's yeah

00:27:27like

00:27:27you can use it for more

00:27:28for more gameplay

00:27:29focused scenarios

00:27:31as I explained

00:27:32like sector control

00:27:33or you can have it really

00:27:34story

00:27:35co-op

00:27:36do tasks

00:27:37travel

00:27:38what kind of level of detail

00:27:40can we have

00:27:40like we've placed some

00:27:41AI soldiers

00:27:42what can we do with them

00:27:43after we put them

00:27:44can we edit them

00:27:45you know

00:27:45can we move them around

00:27:46delete them

00:27:46yeah like

00:27:47right now we can even

00:27:48set the stance

00:27:49rank

00:27:49we can even increase our skill

00:27:51so let's say

00:27:52I put a miller from campaign

00:27:54increase his skill

00:27:55to max

00:27:56and he will do sort of

00:27:57boss fight

00:27:57of course it's ARMA

00:27:59so we don't really do

00:28:00boss fights

00:28:01every time we tried it

00:28:02and one of the players

00:28:03throw a grenade

00:28:04and he didn't even notice

00:28:05it was boss fight

00:28:06and as we can see

00:28:07we can

00:28:07like those respawn

00:28:09so we can

00:28:09inside the vehicle

00:28:10set it respawnable

00:28:11so every time it gets

00:28:12destroyed

00:28:13it appears again

00:28:14or not

00:28:15whenever we reset it

00:28:16cool

00:28:17yeah seems player rank

00:28:19let's see how they'll

00:28:20combat

00:28:21actually a triple A

00:28:23vehicle

00:28:23because that one

00:28:25so it seems

00:28:26that our guys

00:28:26have split into

00:28:27two fire teams

00:28:28and they're approaching

00:28:29the objective

00:28:30quite tactically

00:28:32yeah like

00:28:32if they would be spread

00:28:34too much

00:28:34the thing is this editing

00:28:36area

00:28:36it's only about leader

00:28:37so even if one player

00:28:39would wander away

00:28:40then Zeus

00:28:42could

00:28:42be beaten troll

00:28:43yes

00:28:45this whole area

00:28:46is adjustable

00:28:47like mission parameters

00:28:48so yeah if you're

00:28:49playing with your friends

00:28:50and you trust your Zeus

00:28:51you can disable this area

00:28:52completely

00:28:53yeah I suppose

00:28:54it's a question

00:28:55of like

00:28:55you know

00:28:56what happens if you have

00:28:57Zeus that's a complete troll

00:28:58of a player

00:28:59he's just like

00:29:00putting players in the air

00:29:01sending down bots of lightning

00:29:02like how do you really

00:29:04you know deal with that

00:29:05do we sort of

00:29:06trust

00:29:07people to have

00:29:08a good Zeus

00:29:09a benign god

00:29:10as I mentioned

00:29:11this area can be modifiable

00:29:12and the cost like

00:29:13oh

00:29:14since the triple A

00:29:15is really really

00:29:16honing them

00:29:17so what we've seen is

00:29:19what we've seen is

00:29:20what we've seen is

00:29:20anti-Airkev gun

00:29:22being used

00:29:22against infantry

00:29:23so maybe a little

00:29:24unbalanced

00:29:24so now we can see

00:29:25something's happened

00:29:26in the mission

00:29:27maybe we can react to that

00:29:30well it's like Jurassic Park

00:29:31it's like

00:29:31clever girl

00:29:32you can see

00:29:33interplay is attracted

00:29:34by this group

00:29:35but the other group

00:29:36on left

00:29:37may actually take advantage

00:29:38why is it always

00:29:39Clamax that's getting killed

00:29:40Clamax is our AI programmer

00:29:43maybe we could now

00:29:43now we could maybe

00:29:44move the respawn point

00:29:45a bit further

00:29:45so he doesn't appear

00:29:46all the way back

00:29:48or create a new respawn point

00:29:51oh it was too light

00:29:52for him though

00:29:55so

00:30:01maybe

00:30:01maybe some

00:30:02civilian vehicle

00:30:03somewhere parked

00:30:03it could be

00:30:07oh we don't have

00:30:08unlike civilian vehicle

00:30:09oh yeah

00:30:09yeah

00:30:11so maybe

00:30:12a little bit further

00:30:13on his way

00:30:14where he

00:30:15they didn't explore it yet

00:30:16so maybe

00:30:17here on the left

00:30:17no a bit further

00:30:19away from this

00:30:20they already have been

00:30:21to this location

00:30:21they know it

00:30:22so maybe somewhere here

00:30:24and

00:30:24yeah

00:30:25he might actually

00:30:26I would limit fuel

00:30:27so he don't trouble too much

00:30:31yeah

00:30:32we can even decide to lock it

00:30:34which of course

00:30:35is

00:30:35no purpose now

00:30:37no

00:30:37no respawn

00:30:38no respawn

00:30:38it doesn't

00:30:40he just wants that

00:30:41he's just leading now

00:30:42they have now respawn point

00:30:43Philip is the game master

00:30:44he can do whatever he wants

00:30:45I'm game master

00:30:46I'm game master

00:30:47I'm game master

00:30:48I'm game master

00:30:49what is Zews

00:30:50what is it

00:30:51he is a Titan

00:30:51meta master

00:30:53weird methodology

00:30:54did they destroy triple it

00:30:56ah

00:30:57it's still

00:30:58just joining them

00:31:00they are just

00:31:01this close to air support

00:31:02maybe

00:31:03we could meanwhile

00:31:04we could create some forces

00:31:05in the town

00:31:06I think this is

00:31:07not enough

00:31:08like

00:31:08our task is to destroy triple i

00:31:10helicopter will go in

00:31:11and players

00:31:12will attack the town

00:31:13advantage of town

00:31:14says that players can't

00:31:15see really much further ahead

00:31:16so we can be really creating stuff very close to them

00:31:21and we can now put their patrol

00:31:23so not only waypoints you can include but also cycle waypoints

00:31:27so you can just put waypoints and then like a waypoint which will tell the group to repeat the cycle

00:31:34all over again

00:31:35so you have quite a fine detail of control over the AI in this mission

00:31:40right now we can give for example in this beta build sadly

00:31:43there is no possibility to order AI to move in into vehicle or out

00:31:47that's effectively on the list

00:31:49like that would be missing so much

00:31:52so we are planning to edit in upcoming weeks

00:31:54and definitely for full release it should be there

00:31:58so now we have some patrols

00:32:00meanwhile maybe let's get back to players

00:32:02on top we can see also compass and below it there are three values

00:32:06the one on left is time since the beginning of the mission

00:32:09the one in the middle is current day time

00:32:11oh so they destroyed a triple A

00:32:13nice

00:32:14so let's complete it

00:32:15oh yeah eventually I would want an actual objective

00:32:18which you would be able to synchronize the vehicle and really get completed automatically

00:32:22so from the players point of view they were given an objective at the start

00:32:25go and kill this AI vehicle

00:32:27they moved their

00:32:28fought some people along the way and completed their objective

00:32:31yeah if you switch to map now actually

00:32:34so now we created attack and different objective

00:32:36so just one module placed there creates all of these

00:32:40precise and this one is copied automatically

00:32:42once they neutralize the position

00:32:44good thing about sector objectives is that you can quickly teleport to them

00:32:48so for example we are here and I can quickly click on this sidebar on right

00:32:53and I can quickly then switch between sectors

00:32:56but now triple A is gone what about air support

00:33:01so I think they deserve some proper firepower

00:33:04so I think black fruit could be a good idea

00:33:07not Comanche

00:33:09it's black fruit

00:33:10oh

00:33:11ha ha ha ha

00:33:15so just one just one

00:33:16I think it would be enough

00:33:17and now we just rise it in the air

00:33:19and it automatically starts its engine

00:33:21and let's send it there

00:33:22but also I would still put there some AA soldiers

00:33:26so

00:33:26it would make it too easy

00:33:27yes

00:33:28well it's got countermeasures so it can survive

00:33:30so getting back to the

00:33:33oh yeah I'd put there some vehicles definitely

00:33:34getting back to the septic control car

00:33:35I noticed some of these icons we've seen before in some of our game modes

00:33:40so how does what you're working on now affect what we've already released

00:33:44the defend or the seize missions

00:33:46so people might know that already an editor

00:33:48sorry vehicles I mean proper vehicles like APCs

00:33:51like already an editor

00:33:53there's a sector module

00:33:55and when you put it there configure what the sites are competing for it

00:34:00and other parameters

00:34:01and already you start playing and it will appear on right

00:34:04so you might know it

00:34:05every major multiplayer game has it like list of sectors

00:34:08and when you get near it will show capturing bar

00:34:11and then you will see how much you are in progress basically taking the sector

00:34:16so if there will be more of those sectors

00:34:18there's an enemy

00:34:19oh sorry

00:34:19oh no mad lightfoot was just coming

00:34:21oh yeah right we actually inserted blue 4 helicopter

00:34:23probably doesn't return as a zombie

00:34:25yeah that's

00:34:25I must admit sometimes confusing for me

00:34:27I'm so used to playing like for example campaign as blue 4

00:34:30and then I'm doing zeus as op 4

00:34:32now I will send you this epic reinforcements

00:34:34here have blue 4 tanks

00:34:36it's like whoops

00:34:38not quite what I meant

00:34:39so yeah I think Cayman will be quite epic

00:34:42I think it's already engaging

00:34:43they're quite sufficient engaging

00:34:45but yeah put the

00:34:46oh nice

00:34:47nice

00:34:48and

00:34:50oh yeah tracers module could be fine

00:34:52like you can create ambient combat

00:34:53so

00:34:55so it's sort of fake it

00:34:56that now

00:34:57like there's anti-aerop fire

00:34:59so you have some tools to create like a sense of the mission

00:35:03the atmosphere of it

00:35:04precisely

00:35:04you can change the time of day and the weather conditions

00:35:06but then also put some music and some traces

00:35:08yeah so now we put their sound of distant firefighter explosions

00:35:12I suppose that helps keep

00:35:13you know

00:35:14you don't have to put too many entities in the scene

00:35:16to make it really feel alive

00:35:18so we can keep the framerate

00:35:19you know hopefully chugging along quite nicely

00:35:21I don't want to say

00:35:22creating a feeling of a bigger battle

00:35:24yeah I think feeling is the right word

00:35:25I wouldn't go as far to say fake it

00:35:27but because we obviously don't fake anything

00:35:29oh nice

00:35:30but yeah it creates ambience

00:35:33and it's really cool to put atmosphere

00:35:35plus you know you can see it's getting dark

00:35:37oh you can see eagle and bottom left

00:35:39but when it's getting dark

00:35:40of course Zeus can switch to different vision modes

00:35:44so we've got night vision at our disposal

00:35:46and we can for example

00:35:47even have thermal vision

00:35:48well I think it's definitely

00:35:50something we want to emphasize

00:35:51is that this isn't a DLC

00:35:53about just Zeus

00:35:55what he can create

00:35:56it's also about making a new

00:35:58sort of gameplay experiences

00:36:00for the players themselves

00:36:01and things like this

00:36:02the post-process

00:36:03the music

00:36:04the weather

00:36:05these all help the players

00:36:07have a really cool experience themselves

00:36:09show us players in thermal perhaps

00:36:10oh yeah now flares

00:36:11like anime

00:36:12or alarm

00:36:13yeah it's very alarm

00:36:15because it's getting totally destroyed

00:36:17so overall what we've seen so far

00:36:19suddenly Courtney

00:36:21yeah sorry

00:36:21just the end there

00:36:23but maybe because we have some people

00:36:26quite a few people are like joining right now

00:36:28so maybe we can summarize some of the

00:36:30like the highlights or the basic points

00:36:33ok so what's happened so far in this mission

00:36:36battle has happened

00:36:37so players started far away from the city

00:36:40in the evening there was still light

00:36:42they got tasked to destroy AAA post anti-archive artillery

00:36:47even with obstruction we gave them a part

00:36:49they succeeded and when the sky is safe

00:36:53we send their helicopter

00:36:55so players are now attacking the city

00:36:57they have to capture it

00:36:58so basically we've dynamically given the players some objectives

00:37:01placed some enemies for them

00:37:03again ourselves

00:37:04but enemy could have now actually some surprise

00:37:08maybe we could put there some mortars

00:37:09a mortar post

00:37:11and we could shell players

00:37:12and we've sort of changed and adapted the mission

00:37:15to how the players can play

00:37:16and we can give them some secondary objective

00:37:17destroy a mortar place

00:37:20mortar encampment

00:37:22so I think it's in static

00:37:23in the meantime

00:37:24there are a few recurring questions in the Twitch chat

00:37:28to the office

00:37:30the first question

00:37:31and I think we answered it already

00:37:33but can there be multiple zoos

00:37:35in one multiplayer

00:37:36I think we already mentioned

00:37:37that there can be a dismissioned Zeus

00:37:40and then there can be a moderator

00:37:41who maintains the mission

00:37:43oh yeah now

00:37:43so you can have competitive zoos

00:37:45again

00:37:46zoos playing against each other

00:37:48of the different sides

00:37:49and we can have players on the same team

00:37:51helping each other

00:37:52maybe one make compositions

00:37:53the other one use the mission

00:37:54so overall

00:37:56yes

00:37:57multiple zoos

00:37:58it's up to the mission designer

00:38:00to make it however he wants

00:38:02now we're shelling players

00:38:03but the explosion is not immediate

00:38:06you can hear audio warning

00:38:07and also what we don't see here

00:38:09is that players get warning from their base

00:38:11like we've got incoming fire to our position

00:38:13so they are warned

00:38:14and you can see they are now actually spreading around

00:38:16and now we should give them the optional task

00:38:19to destroy a mortar camp

00:38:20and one other question I saw several times

00:38:24is

00:38:24is Zeus

00:38:25does it only work with ground forces

00:38:27or not

00:38:28well we already inserted a helicopter

00:38:31there can be tanks

00:38:31what's in this beta build

00:38:33is not yet available

00:38:34is underwater editing

00:38:36we have some visualisation problems

00:38:39like icon drawing

00:38:40we are looking into it

00:38:41cool

00:38:42so I think

00:38:44I think

00:38:44that sort of sums up

00:38:45where we've come from

00:38:47in the mission

00:38:47where we are now

00:38:48maybe to handle

00:38:49the rest of the mission

00:38:50I can hand over to Yaris

00:38:52yeah

00:38:53so

00:38:53thanks for joining us guys

00:38:54and I'll see you later

00:38:56so now I would update Respawn

00:38:58and maybe what could be interesting

00:38:59for there's some unlocked vehicle

00:39:01half damage

00:39:02so maybe they could steal some Ifrit

00:39:04or

00:39:05hello Karo

00:39:06hello Yaris

00:39:08thank you for that Jay

00:39:09for that initial look

00:39:11at this Zeus scenario

00:39:13what if people might now actually

00:39:15in the chat

00:39:16suggest what we should do next

00:39:18that could be actually interesting

00:39:19we might pick some

00:39:20really cool ideas

00:39:21maybe Cornel can feed us

00:39:22a couple of things

00:39:23from the Twitch chat

00:39:24yeah

00:39:25some cool suggestions

00:39:26so folks

00:39:27suggest us

00:39:28what you would want to see

00:39:29what you want to surprise players with

00:39:31nothing too extreme

00:39:32we still want to keep it a bit military

00:39:34but

00:39:35yeah

00:39:35we are at your disposal

00:39:37that is actually a point

00:39:38that I wanted to reiterate

00:39:39some people

00:39:40based on the teaser

00:39:41they were maybe a little bit afraid

00:39:43it would be too supernatural

00:39:44with the lightning

00:39:45that type of stuff

00:39:46all of that can be disabled

00:39:48so in a scenario

00:39:49you could really focus

00:39:51on more authentic military experience

00:39:53if you wanted to

00:39:53and the lightning

00:39:54in most missions

00:39:55is pretty damn expensive

00:39:56it's proper demonstration of power

00:39:58it's you telling players

00:39:59I've got so many resources to spare

00:40:01that I will just schedule a spawn

00:40:03a lightning ball there at you

00:40:04and having played quite a few sessions

00:40:06over the last weeks

00:40:07internally

00:40:08it was really exciting to get

00:40:10the lightning strike

00:40:11near you

00:40:12oh

00:40:13always

00:40:14this never gets on

00:40:14let's see

00:40:15did they spot the vehicle?

00:40:17there it is

00:40:17yeah I would

00:40:18I wouldn't spawn it too much

00:40:20so where's the vehicle

00:40:22oh it's here

00:40:23maybe put marker on it

00:40:24Pazews can also insert markers

00:40:26like normal map markers

00:40:28so maybe some western mark

00:40:29could be interesting

00:40:30and we could give it some

00:40:32blue color

00:40:33bottom left

00:40:34blue floor color

00:40:35so if they would not have said

00:40:37perfect

00:40:37if not

00:40:38they can play a mission without it

00:40:40are there other tools like that

00:40:42that the zoos

00:40:43or even the game moderator

00:40:44the secondary zoos

00:40:45can use to

00:40:46just sort of boost the experience

00:40:48like

00:40:48have you talked about music

00:40:50for example

00:40:50oh yeah we didn't play the music

00:40:52yeah right

00:40:53yeah they are now entering the city

00:40:55it deserves some proper military team

00:40:57I think they are quite sufficient

00:40:58in destroying an MSO

00:40:59we will soon need to put there

00:41:01some APC or something

00:41:02so some action team

00:41:04maybe

00:41:05yeah

00:41:06what

00:41:07I don't have preference

00:41:08any track I guess

00:41:09yeah some action team

00:41:10but having played this as a player

00:41:12so not the zoos

00:41:13it's actually really cool

00:41:14to enter a sort of scenario

00:41:15and then the ambient music starts

00:41:17and you get the feeling

00:41:18oh he's about to do something crazy

00:41:20definitely some APC

00:41:22they are too good in countering

00:41:24infantry

00:41:24yeah

00:41:25so not AF

00:41:26probably blue form

00:41:27so it's consistent

00:41:29marshal could be nice

00:41:30it's real

00:41:31so maybe

00:41:31and a bit further away

00:41:33so they can see us spawning

00:41:34yeah

00:41:35maybe they could start

00:41:36near the office complex

00:41:37oh yeah

00:41:38that could be fine

00:41:39and let's end it at them

00:41:42another question that I saw

00:41:43come on much guilt again

00:41:44there was a question

00:41:45whether you could disable the hut

00:41:47and really get a good view

00:41:48or even take screenshots

00:41:49or live stream

00:41:51yeah

00:41:51that's possible

00:41:51so it is possible

00:41:53so by pressing backspace key

00:41:54we can enter something called screenshot mode

00:41:56so there it is

00:41:57yeah

00:41:57and

00:42:01we can even

00:42:01when you press

00:42:02yeah

00:42:03select him and press control

00:42:04to follow him

00:42:05and the camera will

00:42:08log at him

00:42:11yeah

00:42:13I think live streamers will love it

00:42:15us live streamers love it

00:42:16people also asked

00:42:18again

00:42:19whether these are human players

00:42:21like not just zoos

00:42:22Philip doing the zoos mode

00:42:23but I just wanted to confirm again

00:42:26that yes

00:42:26in the next room

00:42:27we have a whole bunch of

00:42:29both designers from the armor 3 team

00:42:31and QA people who are

00:42:33these

00:42:33all these red players

00:42:34they are actually human players

00:42:36yes

00:42:37it's a very important part of zoos

00:42:39not just curation

00:42:40and being a zoos

00:42:41but also being a player

00:42:43who is affected by zoos

00:42:44yeah

00:42:44you can see helicopters still engaging target

00:42:49or is it?

00:42:51yeah we can switch

00:42:52so quickly move between units

00:42:55oh

00:42:56not much

00:43:06maybe there could be some more

00:43:07civilian cars in the streets

00:43:09that would be interesting

00:43:12could you talk a little bit as well

00:43:14about the

00:43:15like the modding possibilities

00:43:16and reusing this technology

00:43:19to do other community projects

00:43:22for example

00:43:22well

00:43:22right now

00:43:23zeus is completely based

00:43:25on one single module

00:43:27all parameters

00:43:27all settings are stored

00:43:29within this module

00:43:29and you can assign this module

00:43:31to zeus owner

00:43:32basically

00:43:33to our

00:43:33to player

00:43:35but there can be multiple

00:43:36of these modules

00:43:37and the thing is

00:43:37the module can be even

00:43:39like

00:43:40changed by community

00:43:41so

00:43:42they can use it

00:43:43for completely different purposes

00:43:45you can even change user interface

00:43:46if you want to create something

00:43:47more RTS like

00:43:48yeah

00:43:48you might disable the tree

00:43:50on the left

00:43:50and give it more stylization

00:43:52uh

00:43:53uh

00:43:54yeah

00:43:54uh

00:43:55plus

00:43:56adding new content

00:43:57new markers

00:43:58new vehicles

00:44:00and it's important

00:44:01that a large chunk of it

00:44:02is actually

00:44:03in the engine

00:44:04so there's a lot of new

00:44:05scripting commands

00:44:06that could be used

00:44:06for other purposes

00:44:07maybe

00:44:08maybe using the virtual

00:44:09type player

00:44:10for a spectator mode

00:44:11yeah

00:44:12the system is like

00:44:13two-thirds engine-based

00:44:14and one-third scripted

00:44:15and all the scripted

00:44:17can be of course

00:44:17changed by community

00:44:18so

00:44:19uh

00:44:20uh

00:44:21yeah

00:44:22yeah this is a good question

00:44:23uh people in the live stream

00:44:25I suppose

00:44:25were asking

00:44:26whether the zeus roles

00:44:27can communicate with players

00:44:29and

00:44:29it's a very definite yes

00:44:31so how can they do that

00:44:32Karol?

00:44:33well

00:44:33obviously they can communicate

00:44:34on a global channel

00:44:36I'm not sure if I implement that

00:44:37oh yeah

00:44:38I didn't implement in this mission

00:44:39uh

00:44:40oh yeah

00:44:40it's not in this mission

00:44:41uh

00:44:42yet but in other missions

00:44:43it could be for example

00:44:44channels

00:44:45specifically for zeuses

00:44:46or

00:44:47we have sector control

00:44:48for example prepared

00:44:49when there are two sides

00:44:50blue four fighting op four

00:44:52so it's a zeus against a zeus

00:44:53and players versus players

00:44:54but the thing is

00:44:55each of these functions

00:44:56uh

00:44:57needs to communicate

00:44:59to their own zeus

00:45:00so there's special channel

00:45:01dedicated for that

00:45:02and

00:45:03again

00:45:03actually create

00:45:04a channel module

00:45:05so you can really put it

00:45:07into the editor

00:45:08when creating a mission

00:45:09and define this channel

00:45:10will be available for disease

00:45:11this size

00:45:12so that controls the

00:45:13in-game armor 3

00:45:14voice over IP

00:45:15but also the text chat

00:45:16precisely

00:45:17but there's another really cool feature

00:45:18that I enjoy seeing

00:45:20it's the pinging

00:45:21can you explain what that does?

00:45:24pinging

00:45:25we saw it on trailer

00:45:26when in the middle of the screen

00:45:27what appeared was this icon of eye

00:45:29with pliers around it

00:45:30with the subtle sound

00:45:31yes

00:45:31I would love to actually show it

00:45:33but uh

00:45:34we found out in the exe

00:45:35that uh

00:45:36it got broken

00:45:37it is exe

00:45:38so we can't really show it now

00:45:39but can you explain it

00:45:40the thing is

00:45:41there's this key

00:45:42dedicated for entering zeus interface

00:45:44by default it's my key

00:45:46and if you're a zeus

00:45:47you press it

00:45:48you enter interface

00:45:48but if you're a player

00:45:50you press it

00:45:51and you ping zeus

00:45:52there will be visual indication

00:45:54and this red icon

00:45:56will flash

00:45:57so as a zeus

00:45:58you will see that this player

00:45:59wants something

00:46:00he wants to congratulate you for something

00:46:01or he's complaining about

00:46:02no

00:46:03usually it's

00:46:03because you forgot to move

00:46:05respawn

00:46:05and he just responds far away

00:46:06like ping ping ping ping

00:46:08and

00:46:08it's a quick mean of communication

00:46:10between zeus and player

00:46:12of course if you want something

00:46:13more complicated

00:46:14you can just

00:46:14uh

00:46:15tell him

00:46:16or you can just write him

00:46:17but this single key

00:46:18and

00:46:19you will bring zeus's attention

00:46:21and I can maybe give an example

00:46:22we were playing

00:46:23a really cool session

00:46:24in the office

00:46:25uh

00:46:25last week

00:46:26where our sandbox design lead

00:46:28uh

00:46:28he was playing the zeus

00:46:30or the curator

00:46:31and he was sort of role playing

00:46:33as a high command

00:46:34so he wasn't

00:46:35uh

00:46:35just this abstract entity

00:46:37but he was communicating

00:46:38with us

00:46:38as if he was

00:46:39back

00:46:39uh

00:46:40at base

00:46:41and like controlling air support

00:46:42and at some point

00:46:43we were stuck in the objective

00:46:45there was way too much armor

00:46:46and we could ping him

00:46:47and then he

00:46:48got the clue

00:46:49to give us

00:46:50uh

00:46:50air support for example

00:46:51so there's a lot of possibilities

00:46:53speaking about air support

00:46:54where is the

00:46:55uh

00:46:55hey man

00:46:57i think it's

00:46:58idling

00:46:58i think it's time to shoot it down

00:46:59put there some air soldiers

00:47:01on the roof actually

00:47:07yeah it's uh

00:47:07usually quite tricky to find a place

00:47:09where players can't see anything

00:47:10and also

00:47:10like

00:47:11it's very easy to get this

00:47:12uh

00:47:13megalomania complex

00:47:14that you keep adding new stuff

00:47:16and new stuff

00:47:16but at some point you need to realize

00:47:18okay

00:47:18this was enough

00:47:19and we need to bring it to conclusion

00:47:21because

00:47:22obviously constant action

00:47:23that's

00:47:24uh

00:47:24it's

00:47:25it can become tiresome

00:47:27yeah so there's uh

00:47:29one question

00:47:30that it was asked on the forums

00:47:31by Annex

00:47:32or Enex

00:47:33uh

00:47:34basically

00:47:34what is our development schedule

00:47:36like the roadmap like

00:47:37for

00:47:38for Zeus

00:47:39well

00:47:39we announced that

00:47:40uh

00:47:41second quarter of this year

00:47:42we are

00:47:43wonderful

00:47:43yeah

00:47:45we are going to

00:47:46release Zeus

00:47:47and until then

00:47:48we'll be of course

00:47:49uh

00:47:49developing the further parts

00:47:50which are missing

00:47:51and making sure everything is

00:47:52prepared

00:47:53and then we'll be getting

00:47:54a lot of feedback

00:47:56from our testers

00:47:57and making sure

00:47:57it's

00:47:58one key thing

00:47:59that maybe people are a little bit

00:48:00worried about

00:48:01when we are quite

00:48:03a lot talking about Zeus

00:48:04is

00:48:04this is quite a small part

00:48:06of the team

00:48:07who are working on Zeus

00:48:08it's Carol and Philip

00:48:10Philip mainly

00:48:11and then of course

00:48:12QA is helping them test

00:48:13but we have a whole bunch of people

00:48:15who are still dedicated to

00:48:16the new fixed wing airplanes

00:48:18uh

00:48:19new locations

00:48:20on the Altis map

00:48:21finalizing the campaign

00:48:23but also on

00:48:24optimization of the engine

00:48:26so we have some pretty cool

00:48:27optimizations for general

00:48:29engine

00:48:30but also for multiplayer

00:48:31coming up

00:48:31um

00:48:33we are testing with

00:48:34official servers

00:48:36the performance

00:48:36optimization

00:48:37and getting that all better

00:48:38uh

00:48:39like Zeus team

00:48:40it's two people

00:48:42Arma 3 team

00:48:43it's 50 or 60 people

00:48:44yeah exactly

00:48:44so you guys

00:48:45don't need to be worried

00:48:46that we stopped making

00:48:47optimization

00:48:48we stopped developing campaign

00:48:49we can

00:48:50we can multitask

00:48:51right now

00:48:51there's some really big technologies

00:48:53that are coming up

00:48:53this year

00:48:54for example

00:48:55we spoke about

00:48:56the workshop support for addons

00:48:58but there's also

00:48:59a bunch of other stuff

00:49:00that we can't yet reveal

00:49:01but it's big

00:49:03so there's one fire team

00:49:05so there's one fire team

00:49:05where is other fire team

00:49:05make sure

00:49:07are they

00:49:08oh yeah

00:49:09they're trying to encircle the place

00:49:10and the helicopter was shot downward

00:49:12aww such a pity

00:49:14so we

00:49:15now we should probably think ahead

00:49:16and give them

00:49:17perhaps last task

00:49:17to capture

00:49:19capture the

00:49:19oh yeah

00:49:20now

00:49:20yeah after this is finished

00:49:22we could send them some support

00:49:23in the form of vehicles

00:49:24or parachutes

00:49:25and we can let them

00:49:26attack the base north from here

00:49:28but we need to prepare the base now

00:49:31so there's this military base here

00:49:33so we can put there some

00:49:35small vehicles

00:49:36and some fire team

00:49:38and it will be

00:49:38final task of this mission

00:49:40capture piergos

00:49:41and it's surrounding

00:49:43and one other way of using Zeus

00:49:45that I really like is

00:49:46here we have the game master mode

00:49:48game master mode so it's from scratch

00:49:50and we're building gameplay

00:49:51but what you could do

00:49:52is make an entire mission in the editor

00:49:54with scripted patrols or events

00:49:56and layer Zeus on top of that

00:49:58so maybe you

00:49:59the Zeus could only adjust the patrol routes

00:50:02for example

00:50:02so

00:50:02a lot of stuff is possible

00:50:05yeah

00:50:05some people like Zeus can be too much

00:50:07like creating a whole mission

00:50:09it's

00:50:09daunting

00:50:10yeah it's quite big

00:50:11responsible

00:50:12sometimes you would prefer to start with

00:50:14already like battle ongoing

00:50:16yeah

00:50:16for example

00:50:17yeah

00:50:18some static guns at the entrance

00:50:20that could

00:50:21well but

00:50:22what kind of static guns are they

00:50:23if they're giving them vehicle

00:50:25sighting machines

00:50:25they really won't do the trick

00:50:26and it'll be a quite easy target

00:50:30I would mainly put there a lot of fire teams

00:50:32and

00:50:32a million vehicles

00:50:34if they're giving them vehicle

00:50:35I think we should give them some APC actually

00:50:37later on

00:50:38so all of them can stick in

00:50:39and they are not separated

00:50:40in two teams

00:50:41or it should be done 200

00:50:43if it's

00:50:44did we get any live stream suggestions

00:50:46of what to do?

00:50:47we had one of the guys asking for a helicopter extraction

00:50:50well

00:50:51yeah so

00:50:52but

00:50:54aside from that

00:50:55one of the big things

00:50:56which someone has to see

00:50:57the lightning

00:50:57right

00:50:58so two requests coming from the live stream chat

00:51:01one was to try to set up a helicopter extraction

00:51:04well

00:51:05as I mentioned

00:51:05the problem with helicopter extraction is

00:51:07we can't order

00:51:08basically we can't let

00:51:10we can't control the crew that well yeah

00:51:12in this version that is coming

00:51:14but we could still then later on put there

00:51:16a helicopter

00:51:17and

00:51:17they could just order themselves in

00:51:20that's a core

00:51:20and lightning will be

00:51:22the other big one

00:51:22is to show the lightning again

00:51:24yes

00:51:24so we'll probably want to switch

00:51:26away from night vision

00:51:27and back to the normal

00:51:28view mode

00:51:29yeah

00:51:29I think a near player so they can see it

00:51:35I think we could kill something with it

00:51:40we could destroy some buildings

00:51:41not these office buildings

00:51:42it could be perhaps

00:51:43but all players are the roof

00:51:45so I would put it there looking this way

00:51:47so I would destroy something

00:51:49a bit further away

00:51:50so here on left

00:51:51I would just throw it somewhere here

00:51:55there it goes

00:51:56and maybe a bit from further distance

00:51:58one of the other requests was

00:52:01something to do with

00:52:02a power drop or some support

00:52:04I think that's pretty interesting gameplay

00:52:06to be able to introduce

00:52:07so

00:52:08so

00:52:08we are actually about to

00:52:10wrap up this first session

00:52:12from the zoo's point of view

00:52:14and we are going to switch to

00:52:16playing another session

00:52:17where the stream will show

00:52:18the player's point of view

00:52:19and how it affects them

00:52:20so maybe

00:52:21you could show that

00:52:22actually the paratroop

00:52:24if you wanted to

00:52:25from the player point of view

00:52:25yeah now it's time to

00:52:26so let's switch to NVG

00:52:28and I would give them

00:52:29so what vehicles we give them

00:52:32so

00:52:33two Ifrit

00:52:34or

00:52:34one bigger APC

00:52:36one Marit

00:52:37I think Marit

00:52:38so two Ifrit

00:52:39okay

00:52:40so put them somewhere away

00:52:42so

00:52:43and we just put them on parachute

00:52:44welcome back

00:52:45yeah

00:52:45not full empty

00:52:46so the players can use them

00:52:48so Carol

00:52:49before we switch

00:52:50to the player's perspective

00:52:51could you

00:52:52one time

00:52:53explain again

00:52:54what is Armory Zeus?

00:52:57it's

00:52:57it's Game Master

00:52:58where

00:52:59what

00:53:00up to the air

00:53:01oh sorry we can't move them here

00:53:02because

00:53:02let's

00:53:03let's get

00:53:04in a row

00:53:05and you can explain this

00:53:06Game Master

00:53:07sorry

00:53:08Zeus is a Game Master

00:53:10system

00:53:10which lets one or more players

00:53:12assume the role of

00:53:14basically

00:53:14director of a mission

00:53:16and

00:53:18employ the 3D

00:53:19real-time editor

00:53:20and edit

00:53:21and manipulate the mission

00:53:22on fly

00:53:23so and

00:53:24at that time

00:53:25there's people on the ground

00:53:26playing the game

00:53:28as

00:53:28and experiencing

00:53:29what Zeus is preparing for them

00:53:31oh yeah

00:53:32so I think

00:53:33we can

00:53:33it seems there's no time

00:53:36for the attack on the base

00:53:37so we may actually start

00:53:38the extraction

00:53:38already now

00:53:39so maybe one thing

00:53:41to repeat

00:53:41again

00:53:42Armory Zeus

00:53:43is free multiplayer DLC

00:53:45for Armory

00:53:47and it will be available

00:53:48when?

00:53:50second quarter of this year

00:53:54and

00:53:54after campaign

00:53:56or before campaign?

00:53:56yeah so we are first going to be releasing

00:53:58the final episode

00:53:59of the single-player campaign

00:54:00and after that

00:54:01that comes with

00:54:02fixed-wing aircraft

00:54:03but after that

00:54:04the full release

00:54:05of Zeus

00:54:06so now

00:54:07let's

00:54:08create a helicopter

00:54:09around

00:54:10send it there

00:54:11and let players

00:54:11just one I think

00:54:12will be fine

00:54:13I think they can

00:54:14can I hold off skis

00:54:15in one helicopter?

00:54:16I think they should

00:54:17it's eight of them

00:54:20but yeah

00:54:21they should be fine

00:54:22and then give them

00:54:23the task

00:54:23getting the helicopter

00:54:26just a question

00:54:27from Obion

00:54:29will Zeus

00:54:30make his wife

00:54:31happier?

00:54:33well

00:54:34that's a trick question

00:54:36because Zeus

00:54:37has according to mythology

00:54:38multiple wives

00:54:39and comfort

00:54:40so I'm not sure all of them

00:54:42but

00:54:43some of them

00:54:44ok

00:54:45upping

00:54:47so

00:54:48we will wrap this up

00:54:49and then

00:54:50Thomas

00:54:51one of the designers

00:54:53of the campaign

00:54:54so wait will we have time to extract them

00:54:55or should we finish the mission now?

00:54:57we are going to be finishing this mission

00:54:59and then we are going to switch to the player point of view

00:55:06yeah

00:55:06I'll just keep watching from behind

00:55:08thank you Philip for that initial look at the curator mode

00:55:11and now

00:55:12I'm going to actually leave

00:55:14and let Thomas take over to play

00:55:16in a session

00:55:17ok that's all

00:55:17and this time we will have

00:55:19in our multiplayer team

00:55:21we will have one of the guys playing the Zeus mode there

00:55:24and Thomas will be playing as a guy on the ground

00:55:26we experience it from below

00:55:27sorry for not being able to extract them by helicopter

00:55:31that's fine

00:55:31maybe he could create it now for us

00:55:34exactly

00:55:35ok

00:55:35see you guys later

00:55:38ok then

00:55:41so

00:55:42let's do some change

00:55:43let's play as NATO

00:55:45and

00:55:46I don't

00:55:47I don't think we should be a leader

00:55:48but

00:55:48pick and roll

00:55:50as you want

00:55:51ok

00:55:52in this mission

00:55:54not everybody is riflemen

00:55:55at the beginning of the mission

00:55:56we can select

00:55:58the

00:55:59yeah

00:56:00set god mode on perhaps

00:56:01and parameters

00:56:02parameters

00:56:03ok

00:56:03god mode enabled

00:56:05yes

00:56:06great

00:56:07so he has full powers

00:56:08and no cost

00:56:09ok

00:56:09so you don't need to think about

00:56:12unlocking stuff

00:56:13so shall we

00:56:14shall we start

00:56:15I think we can start

00:56:16ok

00:56:17there we go

00:56:17so

00:56:19it will create some epic fun for us

00:56:21hopefully

00:56:23yeah

00:56:24some people really like

00:56:25for example

00:56:25start

00:56:26with immediate action

00:56:28like defend

00:56:28and

00:56:29send troops

00:56:30at you

00:56:31prepare some composition

00:56:33or

00:56:33cool approach could be

00:56:34what we have now

00:56:35let players walk

00:56:37to some location

00:56:37I think we can go

00:56:39well

00:56:40I guess

00:56:40we'll have to see what

00:56:42so right now

00:56:42before

00:56:43we had to insert respawn point

00:56:45for us

00:56:46it's not available yet

00:56:47so

00:56:47we're waiting for respawn

00:56:48meanwhile we can select respawn loadout

00:56:51how do i do that

00:56:52i go over here

00:56:53yes

00:56:53ok

00:56:54and

00:56:54what do we want to do

00:56:55whichever i want to be

00:56:56i know it's up to you

00:56:58are you better at auto rifleman

00:56:59or you want to be better

00:57:00I'll go with marksman

00:57:01everybody goes with

00:57:03marksman

00:57:03so we can see

00:57:04new insertion point

00:57:06great

00:57:06ok

00:57:07so i hope it will be during the day

00:57:09oh it's during the day

00:57:10nice

00:57:11so here's the others

00:57:12playing with us

00:57:13again to reiterate

00:57:14these are all actual players

00:57:16just playing in the next room

00:57:17and

00:57:18do you have any objectives already

00:57:19or

00:57:20he's probably creating objective right now

00:57:22oh yeah

00:57:23so he's setting the day time

00:57:24he's setting the time of day and weather

00:57:26so let's see what happens on

00:57:27really nice

00:57:28like

00:57:29oh it's

00:57:29like

00:57:30oh this is awesome

00:57:31why didn't we

00:57:32i should get a headset

00:57:33i should actually really grab a headset

00:57:35i will give you one

00:57:36great

00:57:37it could be beneficial

00:57:38yep

00:57:39oh yeah

00:57:39we've got actually some proper intel

00:57:41not only tasks

00:57:42so if you go to map

00:57:45go to briefing

00:57:46okay

00:57:46so now we have

00:57:49so what do you have here

00:57:50meet the locals in galati

00:57:52okay

00:57:52so we're going

00:57:54we're doing something rather passive

00:57:55fair enough

00:57:56so galati is

00:57:57i believe it is with it

00:57:58yes

00:57:58i guess so

00:58:00hopefully it stays passive

00:58:03yeah

00:58:04although we seem very cautious

00:58:05so i'm going to be cautious

00:58:07we're passively cautious

00:58:08that's fine

00:58:08that can work as well

00:58:09so meet with the locals

00:58:11okay

00:58:14well local greek population should be i believe on our side

00:58:17hopefully

00:58:18yeah the thing is in mission parameters it's possible to set if independent forces will be on

00:58:23on

00:58:24to allied with bufor or opfor

00:58:26to this to that actually i added one new stuff if you go to map

00:58:30and we go to log

00:58:32at the bottom

00:58:33and there's a recap of mission parameters

00:58:35that's a new feature which affects not only zeus missions but all missions

00:58:39great

00:58:39so

00:58:40it looks like independence might be our enemy at some point

00:58:43yeah so

00:58:43it's good to know

00:58:45yeah i'll have to keep an eye open for them

00:58:46yeah so

00:58:48we're just supposed to meet with locals though we seem very very cautious for that

00:58:53yeah

00:58:53there could be enemy

00:58:54i guess we're taking

00:58:55oh

00:58:56there are locals

00:58:57yeah

00:58:58seems they are

00:58:59he's kind of

00:59:01caught in the middle isn't he

00:59:02he's not sure about us

00:59:04i guess we're meeting with locals right now

00:59:07yeah it seems they're discussing something

00:59:09well let's cover the sector around

00:59:11yeah

00:59:12yeah

00:59:13this

00:59:14this call

00:59:15it's usually followed by some terrible ambush so

00:59:19better be sure that there's nothing around us

00:59:21the combo for this

00:59:22yeah maybe you could try to ping zeus it's like oh yeah

00:59:24i'm meeting locals

00:59:25so press likey

00:59:27so now we ping zeus and he will get notification and uh

00:59:31he will know that we are doing something

00:59:33so he he just heard that

00:59:35so zeus would have just heard me ping right then

00:59:37okay and now it seems he's reacting

00:59:39return to the fob

00:59:41so where's our fob

00:59:42that's a good question

00:59:44whoops wrong button sorry

00:59:46oh yeah so right above the hill

00:59:48looks like it's just over there

00:59:49we've got friendly vehicles going north

00:59:50delta is back up

00:59:52and we'll move the vehicle

00:59:54so if it's a fob i think it should be quite

00:59:56okay it seems

00:59:57seems matt's taking the lead here so i'll just

00:59:59follow him

01:00:00if i can find him

01:00:01there he is

01:00:03the fob would be better than the ambush

01:00:05yeah but that's generally how it goes

01:00:07i suspect artillery strike

01:00:08yeah

01:00:09i suspect lightning

01:00:10i suspect everything to go wrong very quickly

01:00:13or we can just go there and then we will get mission completed

01:00:16thank god nothing happened

01:00:18yeah

01:00:19but for now i'm just going to enjoy the cog race

01:00:22even zeus rays

01:00:23zeus rays

01:00:24it's going to

01:00:24can you see eagles circling above you

01:00:26that's a good point

01:00:28is the zeus around

01:00:29no i guess he's somewhere else

01:00:31he's probably prepping some terrible ambush

01:00:33it's way too uh... way too quiet

01:00:37there we go

01:00:38oh we've got a vehicle

01:00:39oh cool

01:00:41do we have enough?

01:00:42yeah we have enough

01:00:42great

01:00:43i am not driving

01:00:46you don't trust your diamond skills?

01:00:47i do not

01:00:48whoops wrong button

01:00:49okay in we go

01:00:52this guy at the front seat looks pretty relaxed

01:00:54hmm

01:00:56this sounds great

01:00:58that's rather ominous

01:01:01at least there's no fog and green light there

01:01:03yeah

01:01:04yet

01:01:05as we saw earlier

01:01:06he could very easily change it to that

01:01:08delta will take point

01:01:11okay

01:01:12seems they're going to take point

01:01:13so it's up the hill

01:01:14oh it's climate driving

01:01:15he better not drive

01:01:16he did not have much luck last time

01:01:18oh we're taking point

01:01:19okay great

01:01:26i guess we're just figuring out which direction to take

01:01:29okay

01:01:30okay

01:01:41well it's definitely really quiet

01:01:44and my feeling is that it won't stay that way for very long

01:01:48oh there's some fork down there

01:01:50oh is that new? was that there?

01:01:53oh well we better look in the village

01:01:55yeah i guess we can really see it from up there

01:01:57so the FOB is not burning

01:01:59no

01:02:00it's a good sign

01:02:01it's a good sign

01:02:02it's a good sign

01:02:02we'll get

01:02:03oh this is wrong road

01:02:04take the house that's fine

01:02:05i guess we'll just have to go off road

01:02:07it's off road

01:02:08you can do that

01:02:09it's like

01:02:09not a simple civilian vehicle

01:02:11so

01:02:11just let's drive there

01:02:14okay so some of us

01:02:15oh

01:02:16we just had some post-process supply

01:02:18i think

01:02:18yeah

01:02:20we took a wrong turn

01:02:21so we're going back

01:02:23we're really not good in driving

01:02:25it definitely feels like real life

01:02:28we need to go around the wall

01:02:30he actually applied

01:02:32oh

01:02:32as we noticed

01:02:33there was actually a small issue

01:02:35we have to look in

01:02:36the post-process should be gradual

01:02:37as we see now

01:02:38okay

01:02:39and

01:02:40this post-process

01:02:41oh yeah it's now

01:02:42yeah this post-process i call

01:02:44real is brown

01:02:45of course

01:02:48well it's given it a nice

01:02:50it's given it a nice dry look

01:02:51so

01:02:52so there are other post-processes

01:02:52like black and white

01:02:53or something more vintage

01:02:55and

01:02:55or

01:02:56what i call

01:02:57survive post-process

01:02:58the one we

01:02:59quite a more favorite one we're using in campaign

01:03:01i'm very familiar with that one

01:03:02yeah so

01:03:02Zeus can really

01:03:03modify the mission

01:03:05quite a lot

01:03:05yeah

01:03:06well it definitely gives it a different feeling

01:03:08that's for sure

01:03:10i think he expects us to go on road

01:03:12let's go left here

01:03:12i don't know

01:03:13it will depend on

01:03:14if our drivers

01:03:15nope

01:03:16we're going to stick to the road anyway

01:03:17haha

01:03:19i'm just waiting for IED to blow us all up

01:03:22oh it changed again

01:03:23should we be using the post-process as some kind of warning i wonder

01:03:28i think it's turning into black device

01:03:29hmm

01:03:31no

01:03:32well

01:03:33do you see anything around or you should look around

01:03:35nothing yet

01:03:36yeah

01:03:37maybe try to ping him

01:03:39like

01:03:39oh Zeus

01:03:40where's everything

01:03:42or maybe we're just noticing anything

01:03:44maybe

01:03:45maybe i'm just completely blind

01:03:47maybe we're all blind

01:03:49or maybe we just took that turn and he was expecting us to go there

01:03:52so let's see

01:03:53so there's a fob in the distance

01:03:54maybe zoom in there

01:03:55oh yeah

01:03:56just up on the hill

01:03:57there's some helicopter

01:03:58yeah

01:03:59park helicopter

01:03:59i wonder if that's for us

01:04:01oh yeah that's ghost dog

01:04:03okay

01:04:03oh there's some

01:04:05oh hello

01:04:05there's some road dog

01:04:06yeah luckily that's friendly otherwise we'd be dead already

01:04:11oh there's a rabbit

01:04:15dead rabbit

01:04:15dead rabbit was by default in the game

01:04:16it was not spawned by Zeus

01:04:17oh okay

01:04:18okay

01:04:20but uh

01:04:20yeah Zeus can spawn butterflies for example

01:04:22which is my favorite thing

01:04:24everyone's favorite thing

01:04:25it's epic when uh

01:04:26as a marksman

01:04:27you're uh

01:04:29you're lying in the ground

01:04:30watching some enemies in the distance

01:04:32and then

01:04:33so this

01:04:34so this fob

01:04:34maybe not the main objects

01:04:36but like the contents and stuff

01:04:37was that all placed by Zeus

01:04:39i think definitely the hika's around

01:04:41they're not here

01:04:41and maybe the guard tower

01:04:43wow

01:04:43who knows

01:04:44okay

01:04:45get a mine detector

01:04:46sure

01:04:47will we claim some mines

01:04:49i guess so

01:04:50can we check them out

01:04:50there is a mine detector

01:04:52so there are no mines around

01:04:53it's somewhere in the fob

01:04:55so it's right there

01:04:55so let's

01:04:56give us a waypoint to it

01:04:58although i cannot see the waypoint

01:05:00i think it's just over here

01:05:01yep there it is

01:05:02oh there are no boxes

01:05:04seems it will be in some anti-ied duty

01:05:06those are

01:05:07mines not mine detectors

01:05:09these are also mines

01:05:12i think somebody else already

01:05:13i think yeah

01:05:14i guess hopefully our squad leader

01:05:15took it

01:05:16mr. matt lightfoot

01:05:18oh

01:05:18nice and honest

01:05:19okay so somebody else grabbed it

01:05:21somebody took it

01:05:23so hopefully that means we won't

01:05:25explode on anyone

01:05:26that's also a thing in our mind

01:05:27you're

01:05:27like in other games

01:05:28it's always about player

01:05:30and everything's target around him here

01:05:32he's a kid

01:05:32other people has got their own duty

01:05:34maybe just

01:05:35just to be sure

01:05:36that's rather

01:05:37yeah

01:05:37i'm not very confident

01:05:39at all

01:05:39investigate incident

01:05:40okay so something's happened

01:05:42investigate an explosion

01:05:43and lab there again

01:05:44yeah that's a current task

01:05:46so i think we should really quickly drive there

01:05:47yeah so it looks like we're boarding vehicles again

01:05:52yeah so meanwhile before we had some more large corporations

01:05:56this is building a story building a tension

01:05:59yeah it feels much more like a like it's all made by zeus yet it feels like a conventional mission

01:06:05like somebody made this but he's making it on the fly

01:06:07probably the same return variant convention

01:06:09i have the bad feeling that that is going to be the case

01:06:12classic star wars code

01:06:13yeah

01:06:13i have a bad feeling about it

01:06:14exactly

01:06:16but it looks like we're going to have some air support hopefully

01:06:18no i think it was on our fighting

01:06:21it's just

01:06:21okay so he's going off on his own business

01:06:23or so we think

01:06:25that's major operation

01:06:26yeah

01:06:26everybody's under the ramers

01:06:27true

01:06:29i guess that's what arm is all about though

01:06:31being the

01:06:32small cog in the larger war machine

01:06:34so check them out

01:06:35where the village is

01:06:37okay

01:06:37so we're

01:06:38going down this road

01:06:39this is when we get hit by a mine

01:06:41because i'm not paying attention

01:06:42yeah

01:06:43so

01:06:44that's actually one thing i implemented for zeus

01:06:46that

01:06:46yes he can create mines

01:06:48but they are really tricky

01:06:49it's sort of unfair weapon

01:06:51okay

01:06:51so what i'm doing there

01:06:52every time he places a mine

01:06:54there's this

01:06:55quite unprecise area

01:06:56so there's a mine somewhere

01:06:57yeah

01:06:58so it's hinting us

01:06:59there's a mine around here

01:07:00but

01:07:01it's quite tricky

01:07:02we want mine

01:07:03we can eat 10 mines

01:07:04we don't know

01:07:04we don't know yet

01:07:05but we at least know

01:07:07we have to be

01:07:08basically

01:07:09warrior of mines

01:07:10we have to be careful

01:07:10i guess it's our job

01:07:12to find out

01:07:12same with the artiller

01:07:13before we were sending artiller

01:07:15or mortar strikes

01:07:16as players

01:07:16they got warning

01:07:17and took some time

01:07:18to get there

01:07:19so

01:07:20these powerful things

01:07:21they are balanced

01:07:22by not being

01:07:23a bit fair

01:07:25okay

01:07:26oh

01:07:28did we just run

01:07:29did we just go through the magic

01:07:30i think

01:07:30we might have just run over someone

01:07:34oh

01:07:34we might have just

01:07:36so we're going to investigate incident

01:07:37and we create an incident

01:07:39yep

01:07:40this is a great start

01:07:41i'm

01:07:42except

01:07:43oh there's our helicopter

01:07:43so we do have a little bit of air support

01:07:45i guess he's our eyes in the sky

01:07:47i guess he's our eyes in the sky

01:07:48yeah

01:07:48probably he's just running on

01:07:49yeah

01:07:50someone beams

01:07:51okay so we have to be on the watch for IEDs

01:07:56yeah

01:07:56yeah but i think it's further ahead

01:07:58hmm

01:07:59it seems we're not taking any chances

01:08:01yeah

01:08:02and these mines can be actually used by Zeus to sort of border area

01:08:06because if you put several mines

01:08:07it will create this marker in the map

01:08:10and most players won't go there unless they have tasks like us to clear the mines

01:08:14true

01:08:14so you can sort of channel them through specific paths by putting the minefield

01:08:18of course more courageous players can just go there and don't care about it

01:08:22yep

01:08:22oh there seems to be closer

01:08:23ah so we've spotted a mine somewhere

01:08:25oh there's our helicopter

01:08:26isn't it

01:08:27i've spotted one mine

01:08:29is eagle around somewhere

01:08:30oh

01:08:30yeah this doesn't look good

01:08:32i just realized

01:08:33so uh

01:08:34so it looks like there's been some kind of crash study

01:08:36hold hold hold hold

01:08:36uh yeah it seems like

01:08:38i wonder if it's prepared for us

01:08:39yeah it's there till door is in

01:08:41yeah

01:08:41so we're holding for now

01:08:42i'm somewhat a bit wonder

01:08:44could you check the sky so there's eagle around

01:08:48did you hear him?

01:08:49i have not heard him actually

01:08:50which i don't know if i should worry about that

01:08:54probably should

01:08:56ok so we're moving through the building here

01:09:02ok so we're moving around the side

01:09:05so it seems the place is otherwise clear except of the mine

01:09:09we hope

01:09:12the one thing i would also want to add

01:09:14it's not there yet because it's more of a detail

01:09:16that every time zeus would spawn

01:09:17oh music

01:09:17every time zeus would spawn something significant

01:09:20i could play some either small music view

01:09:23or maybe blow over the wind

01:09:24so players would get a hint

01:09:26wait something is happening

01:09:27but they would have no clue

01:09:28where is it? how far? what is it?

01:09:31like right now

01:09:32yes

01:09:32like basically he just played

01:09:35not the most positive of music

01:09:37so

01:09:38ominous something?

01:09:39yes

01:09:39ominous

01:09:40that's a good word to describe it

01:09:44ok we're taking things nice and slow

01:09:46still

01:09:47i would still want to see the eagle

01:09:47i'm gonna cover the other side of the street

01:09:49i would still want to see the eagle

01:09:50i would still want to see the eagle

01:09:51so maybe could

01:09:51could you look above you?

01:09:53could you see or hear the eagle?

01:09:55or maybe

01:09:56oh i just heard birds

01:09:57a flock of birds

01:09:58ah

01:10:00there he is

01:10:00or is it one of the

01:10:02these are seagulls

01:10:03we apparently

01:10:04yeah but what we explained before

01:10:05those are the seagulls

01:10:06ok

01:10:08i don't see

01:10:09zeus though

01:10:11well

01:10:12maybe

01:10:12he's probably

01:10:13was that him?

01:10:14no they're all just a bunch of birds

01:10:16this turned into a quite

01:10:17he's deliberately making it so we can't see him

01:10:20this turned into a quite

01:10:22excursion to ornithology

01:10:23yeah

01:10:25we're bird watching

01:10:26with mines involved

01:10:28yeah there's something there

01:10:29or they disabled the mine?

01:10:30no it looks like we're just going around it i think

01:10:32they're seagulling them

01:10:33so i think

01:10:33that's fine

01:10:34i don't like my position

01:10:35i'm rather

01:10:37in the open

01:10:39so

01:10:39move

01:10:40yeah

01:10:41but they're all over

01:10:42they're just holding that building

01:10:43so i wonder

01:10:44if i should move over there as well

01:10:46or if i should just stay here

01:10:49the anticipation is bad bubble

01:10:52well the longer we have nothing happen

01:10:53the worse i expect the outcome to be

01:10:56bang him

01:10:56yeah

01:11:00yeah

01:11:00yeah that's actually a nice thing

01:11:01each one is different

01:11:05okay then

01:11:05so he definitely knows that we need something going on

01:11:10are we just holding?

01:11:11i guess we're just holding

01:11:12oh no

01:11:13looks like we're moving a little bit

01:11:18investigate incident

01:11:18nothing other than that

01:11:20to avoid any barrack

01:11:21oh okay

01:11:23yeah

01:11:24shots fired?

01:11:24yeah shots fired

01:11:25okay guys so

01:11:26can you summarize

01:11:28what's going on here for

01:11:29people that have joined?

01:11:31like what are we looking at?

01:11:32well

01:11:32we started quite relaxing

01:11:34we went to fob

01:11:36to like

01:11:37it looked like very innocent

01:11:39suddenly we got tasked to investigate an incident

01:11:41in a village

01:11:42we found some crashed vehicle

01:11:44and IED next to it

01:11:46and it seems it was all ambush

01:11:48and we are now under attack

01:11:49and people are dying

01:11:50and stuff is happening

01:11:50so we are playing as players

01:11:52and the guys next door are playing as Zeus

01:11:54yeah this whole mission

01:11:55it started as a completely blind mission

01:11:57and everything

01:11:57everything we see here now

01:11:59was created and narrated by Zeus

01:12:01well I have one more question from the community

01:12:04this time from our forums

01:12:05a user called Nimrod

01:12:07he asks

01:12:08do you plan on publishing Zeus for the development branch?

01:12:12well

01:12:12like

01:12:13if you know the history of this game

01:12:15you know that Vogue game was published

01:12:17in early access

01:12:18in early access

01:12:19and then

01:12:19when we released Altis

01:12:21it was first released into dev branch

01:12:24and

01:12:24same with campaign

01:12:26so obviously we are applying to release Zeus

01:12:28first into dev branch

01:12:30as for when

01:12:31well maybe Yoris

01:12:33projective might know

01:12:34because

01:12:34he is just master of everything

01:12:36so Yoris

01:12:36when are we releasing to dev branch?

01:12:38well actually

01:12:38I was thinking

01:12:39we do it now

01:12:40so

01:12:41I am just about to click the link

01:12:43that will set it live

01:12:44in the Steam backend

01:12:45so

01:12:46here we go

01:12:47so

01:12:48now

01:12:48there we go

01:12:50so if you are assigned to dev branch

01:12:52just get the

01:12:53watch the update

01:12:54Zeus will be starting

01:12:55to get your computers

01:12:57enjoy it properly

01:12:58fun

01:12:59so

01:13:00everything we played now

01:13:01you can now apply as well

01:13:03just switch to dev branch

01:13:04just switch to dev branch

01:13:05I think one important disclaimer

01:13:07to make very clear

01:13:08is that dev branch

01:13:09is a work in progress

01:13:11experimental build

01:13:12it's developing build actually

01:13:14and

01:13:14we shouldn't expect

01:13:15everything to work

01:13:16100% perfectly

01:13:17but

01:13:18we really encourage you guys

01:13:19to play

01:13:19to give us some feedback

01:13:21to report issues

01:13:21to the feedback tracker

01:13:22and to have some fun

01:13:24yeah like

01:13:24right now

01:13:26either now or very soon

01:13:27we will prepare

01:13:28forum category

01:13:28and feedback tracker category

01:13:30so

01:13:30Zeus is better

01:13:32there will be

01:13:32there might be some issues

01:13:33there will be plenty of ideas

01:13:49is keeping up

01:13:51you can't see anyone

01:13:53so

01:13:53it seems it was quite a

01:13:55sufficient ambush

01:13:56yes

01:13:56both for play

01:13:57both for you and for

01:13:58our combinator

01:14:00we've definitely

01:14:00we've lost a couple people already

01:14:04so fight back

01:14:05trying

01:14:07i think they're down in the fog

01:14:09i'm just moving around

01:14:11ok ok

01:14:12oh ok

01:14:12i suppose like

01:14:13as we begin to

01:14:14wrap things up

01:14:15maybe just

01:14:16once again

01:14:17emphasize

01:14:17what we're looking at now

01:14:18is the Armour 3 Zeus DLC

01:14:20it's a free multiplayer

01:14:22for everyone that owns Armour 3

01:14:24it's just been released

01:14:25on the development branch

01:14:26and

01:14:27after the last campaign episode

01:14:29around the start of Q2

01:14:31we expect to see this

01:14:32a full public release

01:14:33with your help

01:14:35we've seen the curator mode

01:14:36the Zeus point of view

01:14:38yeah sorry

01:14:39curator is internal technical name

01:14:41it's more generic

01:14:42pleasing to you

01:14:43we've seen the game master

01:14:44Zeus point of view

01:14:45we saw us

01:14:46creating a mission

01:14:46adding objectives

01:14:47adding entities on the fly

01:14:49and now we're finishing up

01:14:50with looking from the players

01:14:51to reflect it

01:14:51what it's like to play in this

01:14:53dynamic world

01:14:54created by

01:14:55higher power

01:14:58got something really close to us

01:15:00and i cannot see it

01:15:01bro

01:15:02he's leading us in fog

01:15:04yeah

01:15:05this is not

01:15:06oh ok

01:15:07i just took a hit

01:15:10patch myself up

01:15:14so we failed that

01:15:15apparently

01:15:16we should probably

01:15:17oh ok

01:15:17something

01:15:18that's much heavier

01:15:19whatever i was just shooting

01:15:20it's maybe time for retreat

01:15:22i think we've got

01:15:23oh

01:15:23ow

01:15:25zip and die

01:15:26i am almost

01:15:27very close

01:15:28very close

01:15:29yeah

01:15:30this operation didn't work

01:15:31i do think

01:15:32that is the best course

01:15:34so maybe Zeus prepared

01:15:35some epic journey

01:15:37through the valley

01:15:37and chile

01:15:39perfect challenge

01:15:40but we failed

01:15:41so we have to retreat

01:15:42you never know

01:15:43what would happen

01:15:43if we were successful

01:15:45yeah

01:15:46whatever is firing at us

01:15:48but the thing is

01:15:49actual

01:15:50maybe he didn't even know

01:15:51maybe he was just creating

01:15:53on the fly

01:15:53you may

01:15:54as Zeus

01:15:54you may start a mission

01:15:55with perfect idea

01:15:56what you will do

01:15:57but then players will improvise

01:15:59and then you have to adapt to them

01:16:00ok

01:16:01i'm gonna go rally the troops

01:16:02sure

01:16:04maybe we should

01:16:05in the meantime

01:16:06maybe we should retreat

01:16:07and wait for the first mission

01:16:08in the meantime

01:16:09i'm just going to try

01:16:10not to get killed

01:16:10give us courtesy of retreating

01:16:13we don't want to

01:16:14stay forever in this

01:16:15well at least the sun is pretty

01:16:16i hope we gave you guys

01:16:18some ideas

01:16:19what to do

01:16:20with Zeus

01:16:21because now

01:16:22it's in your hands

01:16:24it's

01:16:24truly

01:16:26about what you create

01:16:27about your stories

01:16:28about your ideas

01:16:29for missions

01:16:33seems we do have guys

01:16:35coming up this road

01:16:35that is not friendly

01:16:38whoa

01:16:39careful there Matt

01:16:40that is friendly

01:16:40you'll notice

01:16:44we got reinforcements

01:16:45inbound

01:16:46well

01:16:49as well

01:16:49ah

01:16:56nice

01:16:57yeah

01:16:58everyone

01:16:59seems

01:17:00like we might just make it

01:17:01so some combined operations

01:17:02we should

01:17:03where is the retreat point

01:17:03we should really head there

01:17:05the helicopters probably are there

01:17:06just to get out

01:17:07of all this devouring

01:17:08we don't want to die in the last five minutes

01:17:09yeah

01:17:09it's fairly far away

01:17:10so

01:17:11yeah i'm

01:17:25this is going to be a little bit romantic

01:17:28yeah

01:17:30well okay

01:17:33i think i've fallen back

01:17:34yeah so we are on the way to retreating

01:17:36yeah

01:17:36and i guess we kind of failed our operation

01:17:39okay

01:17:41keep going

01:17:42yeah

01:17:43ah there we go

01:17:44well that's a sidespan

01:17:45yeah

01:17:45well we at least investigated the site

01:17:48so we completed the mission at least partly

01:17:50even though we didn't secure the site

01:17:52and i think i was the only one who made it over there alive

01:17:54so

01:17:54now it's your job to secure the site

01:17:59okay that was fun
