00:00Peggy 16
00:06When it's just you against the elements in a place as raw, let's say as, you know, Africa
00:12Those elements have not changed in the thousands of years of, you know, say evolution that we can look at
00:18The same harsh climate, the wild animals, the diseases, all of those are exactly the same
00:35So when you go out there, yeah, you better believe you better get tough
00:52I had an idea about ancestors
00:55Right, and I, you know, what type of game I wanted to make, what is the scope, what is the
01:00format I would do
01:02And then I actually attacked the subject matter and we actually started to build it
01:07And then another game arrives
01:09Yeah
01:10And I tell myself and my team also, it's okay, it's okay
01:14Oh yeah, I say embrace that change because that's how you do end up discovering something bigger and better
01:21Yes, exactly
01:22If you try to stay on the path that you were on, you miss everything else around
01:28The beauty of game is all about the freedom of choices
01:31And you have consequences about the choices the player will make
01:35Right now, the way I see Ancestor is almost a story-telling machine
01:42Every time you play, it's a different adventure
01:47And what would be the thing needed to be a good explorer?
01:52You have the curiosity
01:54Yeah
01:54You have to have a lot of drive
01:58You have to be stubborn as hell
02:00Yeah
02:00Because you can't give up
02:01I have a lot of drive, you know, an immense passion for what I do
02:06I nearly died on my first expedition
02:08Oh yeah?
02:08But I kept going
02:09I mean, it didn't deter me, right?
02:11Okay
02:11It did nothing but made me want to go out there more
02:15I was born
02:16So, does it look like a jungle or?
02:19It very much does
02:20I mean, the amount of detail is so real that it's incredible
02:26When I'm out there in the jungles, sometimes you can't get this close
02:31So this, in a weird sense, brings you closer than maybe I could ever get
02:35Yeah
02:35It's like a team of scientists really designed it
02:38It's engineers, animators, designers, artists who actually did that
02:47Well, they paid close attention in science class
02:51There is still so much out there that has not been explored
02:55Things that we don't know
02:56I mean, discoveries being made all the time
02:59I happen to co-discover the world's smallest primate in Madagascar
03:03Oh yeah?
03:04You know, there's still all of these pockets
03:06And I think that is the driving force behind, you know
03:13What's beyond those trees?
03:15What's beyond the horizon?
03:19Release when you think it's...
03:21I was bonding
03:22You were?
03:24What did I do?
03:25You released it
03:26Did I take off or what?
03:27No, no, you did a good groom
03:29Oh, good
03:31See?
03:32I'm good at grooming
03:36As an explorer
03:38Somebody who's trying to push the boundaries
03:40I'm sure you have some fears
03:42So how do you actually overcome those fears?
03:47It can't be panic or you're going to make all the wrong decisions
03:50Okay
03:51If you allow the fear to carry
03:55Everything starts to feel overwhelming and scary
03:58And then you can't make good decisions
04:00And well, you die
04:02Oh, come on
04:03Oh, you didn't hold it
04:03No!
04:05Oh, no!
04:06Oh, no!
04:07Oh, fuck
04:08It's amazing though
04:09But look, I'm still going
04:11Yeah, you're still going
04:12I'm limping
04:13I'm running away
04:14What is all that stuff?
04:16Oh, no, no
04:16Because you're getting into...
04:18Oh, no!
04:19Oh, no!
04:19Oh, no!
04:21What is the famous saying, you know, feel the fear and do it anyway
04:25Yeah
04:26That's kind of how I live my life
04:28There's an innate risk when you're exploring
04:32And I think that it's calculated risk
04:34And I know that I'm entering situations that are, you know, dangerous and potentially deadly
04:39You were in the easy level and then you put me in the advanced level
04:43I see what you're doing here
04:46And then the rest, yeah, comes from experience and that's the best teacher of all
04:49Yes
04:52No, I mean, the game is mind-blowing, you know, I suddenly found myself really trying to survive
04:58You know, which is something that I do for a living, but all of a sudden I'm on a couch
05:02sitting with a game controller
05:04And the same instincts are kicking in to stay alive, so it was very cool
05:12I could see where I will never explore a real jungle again because I'm just going to be on my
05:17couch with a controller
05:18Oh, yeah?
05:19Oh, yeah
05:20Oh, yeah
05:22Oh, yeah
05:27Grazie a tutti.
