[40:43] Would you guys ever consider inviting fans on the Dropped Frames show? Hope you have a wonderful day, good sir. >> Um, probably not on DF. It's not really
[40:55] calling show. Like, the the thing about bringing bringing fans into shows is a lot of times you make the fans the content. And I don't really think that's what any of us want to do.
[41:10] Um, like we're we're not really [music] interested in like we don't really want to do that. Um, it also like Um, it also like to to do a a talk show with
[41:22] It's just it's just a I feel like it's don't know, but another and another thing to talk more um like just matter-of-factly about it, it's real tough to make sure that the
[41:37] people you bring into a show aren't going to act the fool, um, people you don't know. Uh, I mean, how do we make sure to troll? You know, so it's it's like it's a
[41:50] little bit of a thing. Yeah, just not not really something we're [music] That is far as I know. I mean, JP might change his mind, but A lot of potential issues there, unfortunately. Let's try what chat was

[42:16] this. Okay, I need some more wolf food. There Inside me there are two wolves, chat. And they're both apparently very hungry. And they're both apparently very hungry. Uh let's see, go to here.

[45:02] Whoa. Bro built himself a cool little house. Huh. Cool. Nice house, boss.
[45:18] updraft, to be honest. That skill's awesome. I agree.
[45:55] >> Pur- purple means don't mess with that, right?
[46:09] >> [laughter] >> You love to see it. not sure how accurate that is. In fact, that sounds wildly inaccurate.
[46:50] your house out. I wonder where all that came from. Johnny says it's sad to see see Steam Next Fest completely flooded with AI slop. It's real bad. Um by the way, just a little note. Uh
[47:04] Remember, I've I've been kind of preaching this for a while. I said, "Remember, guys, you know, as this AI thing picks up, you're going to start seeing a lot of games get released just in giant
[47:17] groups, right? Like just We're just going to be inundated with video games." Guys, today I was looking at the upcoming list on Steam of games being released into 1.0 or early access. And I want you to
[47:32] the dates. October 20th. October 20th. These are the games coming out.
[47:48] Oh, October 21st. Here's the games coming out.
[48:02] >> October 22nd. Here are the games coming out. last year is coming. And this is just the beginning.
[48:18] If Steam does not figure out this [ __ ] then it is going to be a sea of hundred then it is going to be a sea of hundred plus game release days.
[48:33] I mean, think just uh we're still on October 22nd. Here's 23rd. Here's 23rd.
[48:48] >> [laughter] >> So, like it's And I mean, look at the games. They're all just They're all just random like like completely random all over the place. Like it's it's crazy,
[49:03] beginning. We're only at the beginning of this. This is just the start of it. The inkling of the concept of the beginning of this. >> So, it's going to be a whole thing, guys.
[49:17] guys. Yep. where it's going to make this new hyper competitive >> And like I don't know how people are going to deal with it.
[49:30] the following precautions against the shroud must be taken at all times. and and I and this is something I've been thinking a lot about lately.
[49:46] inadvertently protected it from AI. And the reason being is because a lot of the people that are are not just getting it because it's a game.
[50:01] be a part of the 2-year development process of us turning this game into a to play it. And you can't copy that with AI.
[50:17] now. So, like we were talking about it last night and we were and cuz we were legit concerned. It's like, "Dude, we're going We're going to be developing this game in front of everybody. And and like
[50:32] Ember Vale at any point. I mean, everything we're doing is in the public some company did, like we're still like it that doesn't point, but we're still developing it. So, it's like and people are there for
[50:46] that journey. So, it's it's it's it's we're hoping >> fingers crossed. You know, I'm saying all this now, right? And tomorrow Steam. Um but it's yeah, we're we're it's an
[50:58] interesting world we're going into, man, because I I don't think people realize how much traditional game dev is just going to be completely different in like It's going to be completely different industry.
[51:11] Um so, yeah, it's going to be wild. We'll see. together. We're all we're all we've all bought the ticket. And now we're going to take the ride. Mhm.
[51:24] To quote one of my favorite peoples, Mr. Hunter S. Thompson, it's a nice looking hatchet, dude. Oh god. Ooh.
