Who would be interested in an Art Dev stream?

strumslinger · March 2016

Hey guys,

I've been seeing a lot of positive comments on the art dev blogs and I was wondering if there was any interest in having an art dev stream?

I'm not sure of the details, but maybe have a few of them talk about their processes and show the backend of creating things. Might also be good for those who are trying to become an artist in the game industry. Any ideas for this are welcome.

Let me know!

I'd love this, but I have a feeling they wouldn't be able to show everything that I would want to see.

+1, Would love to see how a day of the live of the art guys looks like - impressed with levels/art in the game, maybe some concept art, some muse talk and so on...

Edit: Or make a "In the studio" video, with a short walkthru the offices, workplaces and some Q&A with the guys, you know like the Witcher team and so on, imo that would be even more content rich, and we can see the places the magic is happening. (Stream would be full of questions not designed for the Artists anyway)

I would like to see one, I think some of the animations are well done, like the snail and tenser shaders and it will be nice to see.

I would enjoy it if it releases some positive news about bringing back some old gear transmutes, maybe some fashion updates, and the research that goes into making fashion that is consistent with the franchise. If we are just going to talk about mood lighting in dungeons, I'll pass. Neverwinter is already a good looking game, I'd much rather see additions to the game not reworks.

I like this idea. I really enjoyed the posts on creating Demogorgon, Baphomet, and Orcus.

me, please!

I would excited about devs vs players pvp stream. That would be something great.

I find the frequency and content of announcements, letters, dev blogs and in general outgoing communication quite good as is right now. If anything, instead of responding to "we want more communication!, you're doing it all wrong!, we want fixes!!, ASAP!!!, yesterday!!11" I wish for having those assigend to work on it, just work on it as undisturbed as possible.

If am not mistaken, the improvement on outgoing communication is also due to you, strumslinger. Albeit that change on tradebars with minimum time window announcement wasn't ermm perfect to say the least, but that might have been not in your departement. So anyways, here is my pseudonymaly personal little Thank You, to you strumslinger, for your efforts put into all of this.

Oh, I sometimes forget to answer the question on topic in a straight manner: Not any time soon again. When something new is coming up, yes, appreciated.

Sincerely

No thanks, we are still waiting for another Q&A on the live.

And btw, http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/neverwinter#/discussion/1212639/we-want-double-ad, please consider this for the community objective for mod 9, thanks.

Atm i dont want to see a vid with you strumslinger. Sry for that, but your last stream in CN made me so angry and mad at you, that i need a break from watching streams hear/see you.
But i will share this thread with my guildmates. Maybe some one will response here. Good luck anyway.

Kinda rude, but I can see why you'd be mad. I was also mad after that stream. You can ask the mods.

Even so, these streams aren't about me, especially this prospective one.

Yeah, I actually would be interested in seeing some of the process. I can kind of understand from the description and images in the blogs, but I'd be really curious to actually see one of the artists in the process of sculpting their model and suchlike.

Good luck getting the viewers to stay on topic and not just endlessly whine about "fix my issue, me me ME" and "when are you doing the giveaway?' though.

wildfirede · March 2016

a little oot but from my post that was locked some cm decided that its a personal flame at you - you are a pr working for the company noone can blame you for trying to run the stream as it goes on. My problem was a with the developers or QA for not having a working first boss 2 weeks before release. Maybe you had no other option but to run a unfamiliar char maybe you stopped playing and so on ( with the lack of content noone can blame you on that). But you saved the show as you could. But i think that a video of the studio with your comments and questions to the artists would be more insightfull than a livestream infront of some posters and spam in the chat about wards.

regenerde · March 2016

No, thank you.

iandarksword · March 2016

Variety is good. I'm sure as long as a giveaway is mentioned on social media, people will show. Some will be interested in the stream material, others in the giveaway, but that seems the case with most streams these days. Nothing wrong with showing a different facet of the process the game goes through.

I'd like to clarify that artists are separate from a lot of the stream suggestions you guys want. They cannot answer questions about major problems in the game, bugs or anything of the matter. We use "dev" as an umbrella term, but at the end of the day, they all specialize in something. Are we going to ask a character animator to fix the GWF bug? No.

This is merely a topic on interest for ART only; not what you'd rather see instead.

I am pretty sure it took all the effort you and the Dev could muster to keep calm during the stream itself.

I guess you both did a better job hiding the frustrations than I had thought.

Mistakes were made. Murphy wreaked havoc. Lessons were learned.

But yeah guys, I promise Andy was very disappointed with that stream. The only reason it might not have been apparent to viewers is because Andy took the cards he was dealt and made the best out of a really bad situation. I don't think anybody is quite as upset with the results as Andy was so telling him you were upset with the stream is truly preaching to the choir.

I'd be interested in watching it; it's a side of game development that we rarely see.

Who would be interested in an Art Dev stream?
