* I I want to transparent you I've been drinking a lot because I'm so excited about this idea I'm nervous we'll meet grace well as a writer you should be drinking a lot that's how I know you'll do your job so here's the 39:01 thing here's the game I want to pitch to you this is it alcoholism yeah go on now this is this is a creative inspiration 39:07 that really led me to this see if I don't want to talk less about the story more about the gameplay okay alright so 39:14 here's how it's gonna work you're gonna start out as a travel salesman in the land of the dead right page right help 39:20 people get to the end okay immediately some conflict arises when one of the 39:25 co-workers of the protagonist Manny Calavera some reason is stealing 39:32 clientele he's stealing clientele yeah so you know to sort of fast-forward through this 39:39 immediately you need to collect a different variety of balloons for different tasks such as detonating bombs 39:45 and scaring birds in order to eat both of that join the resistance and help improve the car that you need to get to 39:52 a place called Rubicon where when you get there that you start as a janitor you wind up as a nightclub manager you're gonna saw some lids off cat food 39:59 but that's all just kind of to keep the player guessing what he needs to do and eventually they're gonna just find out 40:05 after the fact that we have somewhat of a sexual relationship with a security guard but we need to just make sure that 40:12 she takes the cigarette case with the key in it and bombs it after this it will open up a lighthouse that we hope 40:19 they'll find once they do that and in the middle they have fun activities such as reading poetry and going to a tattoo 40:26 parlor they will wind up advancing to oh wait where do we advanced oh yes of course um 40:32 to to uh were a ship captain now yeah a ship captain yeah yeah as a ship 40:40 captain things are going well until you have to use both anchors to saw your own boat in half so you can get away before 40:46 sinking to the bottom of the ocean now do you like music bill both anchors I do 40:52 like music yes well let me tell you something because we've found the song for everyone it's called I'm gonna let 40:57 it shine now the user will hear this for about well it normally takes four or 41:04 five tries to figure out this puzzle so for about 45 minutes they're gonna hear this song okay I'm gonna let ya good use 41:13 of a license of a song what's gonna happen is the players gonna get to the end of the world and he's gonna start to 41:19 learn things to learn some things yes 41:28 we're really learning happens so that's already happened so that's what they say so we have it we have an elaborate 41:35 hinting system in the game you can torture little children angels okay 41:44 there's there's there's a train people will like that yeah we've actually devoted a significant amount of budget 41:51 to a cinematic that lets you know that the chain both goes up and down okay 41:56 that's just that's just to let people know that we have the architecture necessary to make anything in this 3d 42:02 world now eventually you're gonna get a boat you won't leave you're gonna need 42:07 to get a pair of pantyhose for the gun once you've done that right and it's not 42:13 you don't use it in the gun you exchange it for the gun with with really the lead 42:19 singer of the series oh so we're gonna go back to that character see that's good that's character development ya 42:26 know we want to make sure that each character has an arc which is why we make sure that the guy who is going 42:31 around in counterclockwise circles just keeps doing that though right okay sure 42:36 so you wait I have a question though Ivan answers there you go first there is it possible for us to have him keep 42:43 going around and counterclockwise circles but to refer to it as if he's doing the opposite at some 42:48 point how do I think is real character yeah yeah we're I mean we will we expect 42:55 to run low on budget for the animators but not the voice actors so we got that run low on budget that shows a lot of 43:01 forethought almost five thought yeah so when when we're getting to the end of 43:11 the game what's interesting is that we've experienced an arc but we were fighting we were fighting in the writing 43:17 process there was no drama so the character who's been with you who suddenly drops dead and what happens is 43:23 gameplay wise bill you're going forward what the players really doing is going back in time yeah now there's a variety 43:35 of puzzles such as the classic childhood puzzle how do you prevent the Domino from falling over liquid nitrogen and 43:43 jello you combine those nitrogen jello that's a good sort of you know everybody 43:50 knows that one yeah and remember the from Act one yeah I remember those those 43:55 are pretty good yeah it comes full circle and the resistance is now gonna take over the city so you're gonna join 44:01 the resistance everything's gone to hell and the most important thing is that we are gonna 44:09 ruthlessly dump coffee on the face of an actor an actor yeah good oh that's why 44:17 do you hate actors now you I have a question though about that though yeah is there a way that we can do that from 44:24 the second floor yes we have actually developed a sophisticated ladder tech 44:30 though we allow us to we can put ladders anywhere in the game that you want so I think that that's oh that's a really 44:36 good that'll free up the designers to just go while they're booked well yeah and we have interaction designers who 44:45 can put a great - a monster noise almost anywhere in the final level that's good can we get some formers in there with 44:52 the ladders though only as long as the formers are filling 44:58 a mug Raziel fill the room okay that's good that's good we can be inclusive and 45:06 add some transformers too 45:20 really we don't finish we just keep going into all the toaster run out our 45:28 jokes eul's all right so I don't want to go here I got I got a walk by on 45:35 interactable glottis really fast did you 45:43 talk to the secretary while you had the makeup on I don't know why that would matter but I mean I didn't I'm not going 45:50 to and I doubt I think that's a good plan well you know this is this is 45:55 harmless in the past but uh yes it's not my intuition how about we use this side 46:09 hey guys there's a question sorry what's your question bill what if they cheat so 46:18 you know how Jesus what everyone's 46:26 undercover in this room 46:32 get you that's just nice that's loquacious punt the twerp what he thinks 46:52 that a blanket is flirtatious first chance I get 46:58 what chance is this not your tear I don't understand what's going on 47:05 you must be patient my kid ah he mistook us for a sexual advance just as soon as 47:12 my system pays off here video casinos other disrespectful I think that we 47:18 don't respect what nothing that's going on in here since this is like this is like that stream after you choose it you 47:29 take his suit and go upstairs get it there's a lot of logic here going on oh my god okay so uh 47:38 recusant my new plan new plan you're gonna cover him with the sheet and then 47:45 you're gonna somehow fill it with money this is inconsistent paid off and then 47:53 he'll go not again yeah the lady I've been there she get you and then you'll 48:01 be able to steal but that one's not gonna pay off but but the one arms baby
