(08/01 13:12:14) Brooketh: The Competitive Myst Online group cordially invites all cavern dwellers to our weekly social Ahyoheek game night, every Saturday at 21 KI in the Competitive Myst Online Hood. Ahyoheek is a D'ni game very similar to Paper-Rock-Scissors.
(08/01 13:12:26) Brooketh: We are a friendly club of Ahyoheek enthusiasts, far less "competitive" than our name would imply. We aim for a relaxed, casual hour of playing and conversation that is fun for all. We welcome you regardless of skill level. If you don't know how to play, we can quickly teach you; or you may simply wish to hang out and observe.
(08/01 13:12:42) Brooketh: We use a combination of voice and text chat. You don't need to use a mic, but you should at least have sound enabled so you can hear us.
(08/01 13:12:50) Brooketh: We do hope to see you there!
(08/01 13:12:59) Brooketh: Are there any questions?

(08/01 13:15:32) Korov'ev: What's coming this month? Tomorrow, in Deep Island, lots of ages: we'll visit a few by Jamey (Tsoidahl Sheegahtee, Writers' Niche, Crater Concept, Vogokh Oglahn). Then we'll visit a few Ahra Pahts shell we skipped, along with the Garden Ages of Pakin and Spiro; then the whacky Ages of Hayal and Ria.
(08/01 13:15:58) Korov'ev: In the Open Cave, next week we'll visit the other two pods (plus a third one ;) Then we'll cross the desert of Minkata, looking for holes in the sand!
(08/01 13:16:14) *Jodok*: yayyy
(08/01 13:16:17) *Jodok* cheers
(08/01 13:16:19) Korov'ev: Note that invites are *not* updated, and new ones have the same name. So if you have one, you may want to delete it, or you'll have to guess which one is correct :)
(08/01 13:16:26) Korov'ev: The expeditions are on Sunday at 11:00 KIT, in Deep Island starting in the only hood there (use "/hood"); in the Open Cave, starting in the Fan Ages Touring Club's Hood.

(08/01 13:18:33) PodHopper: Currently we have the following events planned:
(08/01 13:18:36) *Jodok* claps his hands

(08/01 13:18:57) PodHopper: For a few other events I have not yet received confirmation.
(08/01 13:19:24) PodHopper: Preparing started late this year, so it may feel a bit short time
(08/01 13:19:40) PodHopper: Keep in mind that a contest, like the wallgame and conerace, needs actual players to be of any use.
(08/01 13:19:50) PodHopper: So please sign up for these events in the coming weeks if you want to participate.
(08/01 13:19:58) Mevvah: No one has spoken up for door run contests?
(08/01 13:20:07) PodHopper: not yet
(08/01 13:20:21) PodHopper: I will start making a schedule this week, so I would like to ask event hosts to confirm their event before the end of the coming week.
(08/01 13:20:30) PodHopper: Until then, any other ideas are welcome too :)
(08/01 13:20:43) PodHopper: Questions?
(08/01 13:21:05) Mevvah: Sorry for jumping the gun on the question - hit the button early

(08/01 13:25:32) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, I have two separate announcements. One is for the D'ni Language Class and the other one is for r'Tayrtahn's Story Night.
(08/01 13:25:38) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes...
(08/01 13:25:45) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes available on weekday evenings Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, starting at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KI time, depending on the student's schedule.
(08/01 13:25:58) shokhootahn Rehn: (there already are students scheduled for the Monday night and Friday night classes)
(08/01 13:26:12) shokhootahn Rehn: There are daytime openings on Monday through Friday, starting at either 10:00 KI time, 11:00 KI time, or 12:00 KI time, again, depending on the student's schedule. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time, KI mail me at KI# 80428, or on Discord at r'Tayrtahn.
(08/01 13:26:44) shokhootahn Rehn: (Discord is best)
(08/01 13:26:52) shokhootahn Rehn: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.
(08/01 13:27:05) shokhootahn Rehn: If you are going to contact me by KI-mail, please remember to include your KI #.
(08/01 13:27:14) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.
(08/01 13:28:11) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.The Guild of Instructors' Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.
(08/01 13:28:35) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager.
(08/01 13:28:50) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?
(08/01 13:28:59) PodHopper: No questions in the queue.
(08/01 13:29:05) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on...
(08/01 13:29:11) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r'Taytahn's Story Night.
(08/01 13:29:32) shokhootahn Rehn: Today, we will continue with the fourth story of eight (#97 of 104) of the two human restorations of the cavern. Tonight is the first story of the second human restoration.
(08/01 13:29:51) shokhootahn Rehn: Eventually, we cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at restoration.
(08/01 13:30:35) shokhootahn Rehn: I am recording Story Night for (eventual) upload to my YouTube channel (rTayrtahn). I have created an avatar for the purpose of recording. His name is "I'm a bot, do not message". Please do not PM him during the story unless you want to see your message displayed for the entire internet. ;-) Also, please do NOT add him as a buddy. He has no special abilities and is there only to record Story Night.
(08/01 13:31:12) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno's Hood every Saturday.
(08/01 13:31:20) shokhootahn Rehn: Original Story Night is held at 23:30 KI time on Saturday night. We start gathering at the hood's fountain starting at 23:00 KI time.
(08/01 13:31:34) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night - Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood's fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:30 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.
(08/01 13:31:57) shokhootahn Rehn: Lately, it's been starting at 14:30 on AGM Saturdays. :-)
(08/01 13:32:06) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.
(08/01 13:32:14) shokhootahn Rehn: (last-minute cancelations, etc.)
(08/01 13:32:24) shokhootahn Rehn: Should I need to cancel one of the stories at the last minute, I will try to aprise one or two of my regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. :-)
(08/01 13:32:38) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.
(08/01 13:32:44) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
(08/01 13:32:58) shokhootahn Rehn: r'Tayrtahn announces the start of Story Night through buddy chat. If you would like to receive the announcements, please send r'T a KI mail (with your KI number included in the text) and he'll add you to his buddies list. His KI number is 58324. KI mails do not identify the KI number of the sender. Though the sender is added to the Recents folder, it is still a good idea to add it to the body of the text. :-)
(08/01 13:33:15) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!
(08/01 13:33:19) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?
(08/01 13:33:29) PodHopper: No questions in the queue
(08/01 13:33:35) shokhootahn Rehn bows

(08/01 13:34:59) Harley A. Rose: cyan's posted their copy of the State of Cyan presentation
(08/01 13:35:15) *Jodok*: amazing...
(08/01 13:35:19) Harley A. Rose: it containes a lot of data on old cyan projects, as well as some 'recent explorations' of things.
(08/01 13:35:27) Harley A. Rose: including, yes, Project Anglerfish
(08/01 13:35:53) Harley A. Rose: I'll circle back to that in a moment
(08/01 13:35:55) Harley A. Rose: for now,
(08/01 13:36:08) Harley A. Rose: id like to convey a huge thanks to everyone who tuned in on saturday to watch the Descent Presentation
(08/01 13:36:21) Harley A. Rose: im sorry about the audio issues. we did a test run the night before and everything was fine
(08/01 13:36:23) Harley A. Rose: alas....
(08/01 13:36:33) Harley A. Rose shrugs
(08/01 13:36:56) Harley A. Rose: anyways, tweek couldnt make it, he had personal stuff to deal with,
(08/01 13:37:28) Harley A. Rose: still, id like to thank him, Ametist, Ehren, TikiBear, Semjay, and Maurus once again for all the contributions theyve made to the Descent project.

(08/01 13:38:09) Harley A. Rose: Korman 0.18 recently released this last week as well, and I've been poking at the Descent Build File to get it compatible with 0.18.
(08/01 13:38:20) Harley A. Rose: had to make some node tree changes already, got a few other textural things i wanna sort out...
(08/01 13:38:42) Harley A. Rose: but once im done with that im gonna send the file back to tweek and he can resume his lighting work when hes got time for it
(08/01 13:39:02) Harley A. Rose: on Mysterium's newsfront, NEXT YEAR'S LOCATION IS SPOKANE, WA.
(08/01 13:39:11) Harley A. Rose: Cyan has invited us back for their 40th birthday
(08/01 13:39:19) JessicaRabbit cheers

(08/01 13:39:21) shokhootahn Rehn cheers
(08/01 13:39:27) Ereshkigal cheers
(08/01 13:39:28) Mevvah claps her hands
(08/01 13:39:32) Dreamer3: Woot woot!
(08/01 13:39:35) Harley A. Rose: the date has not yet been announced yet- the committe is, as always, working on getting the hotel nailed down.
(08/01 13:39:36) Theo cheers
(08/01 13:39:36) -Babbeltje- claps her hands
(08/01 13:39:37) Diranda claps her hands
(08/01 13:39:39) Ereshkigal: At Cyan itself!!!
(08/01 13:40:11) Harley A. Rose: but ill be passing that info along here the first AGM after i have it :)
(08/01 13:40:37) Thumbs up from *Jodok*
(08/01 13:40:48) Harley A. Rose: back to Cyan's "Paths not (Yet) Taken" theres quite a few cavern projects that im eager to see
(08/01 13:41:00) Harley A. Rose: personally, as a dev, my heart yearns for that reconciled cavern map
(08/01 13:41:25) Harley A. Rose: just having that with fixed coordinates would be amazing to get the Great Zero coords here all hammered out a bit more smoothly
(08/01 13:42:00) Harley A. Rose: as a fan, though, i think we can all agree that Project Anglerfish is...
(08/01 13:42:01) Harley A. Rose: HOO.
(08/01 13:42:01) Ereshkigal: I'd love to see more of the cavern besides Ae'gura, like the more residential and working-class areas
(08/01 13:42:06) Harley A. Rose: i need to know more about that story.
(08/01 13:42:10) *Jodok* nods his head
(08/01 13:42:21) Harley A. Rose: alas, Anglerfish is currently not in development,
(08/01 13:42:21) Mevvah: Definitely, Eresh
(08/01 13:42:25) Harley A. Rose: but, project MUDFISH is,
(08/01 13:42:30) Harley A. Rose: whatever that is, we don't yet know,
(08/01 13:42:49) Harley A. Rose: but it's my hope that Cyan will be able to knock it out of the park.
(08/01 13:43:11) Prad: City Proper is also one of my favorite, Ereshkigal - Eric has a 'personal' project in Unreal Engine 5 going there - just for reference ...
(08/01 13:43:29) Harley A. Rose: beyond that, there were previews for a couple of Minnows, a Tunneler Machine Escape Room type game, AND a Visual Novel style "Who D'nit"
(08/01 13:43:30) Mevvah: i honestly can't believe they're not pursuing Anglerfish. It looks EXACTLY what the gamer community wnats. We want nonviolent, the rest of the world wants DARK, it satisfies both
(08/01 13:43:48) Harley A. Rose: Anglerfish, alas, i believe was put on hold due to the layoffs cyan had to do last year,
(08/01 13:44:02) Mevvah: Sounded like it
(08/01 13:44:05) Harley A. Rose: i dont believe they have the staff to work on it right now.
(08/01 13:44:18) Harley A. Rose: ill be real here,
(08/01 13:44:30) Harley A. Rose: the State of Cyan presentation is as much a pitch video for investors as it is for US.
(08/01 13:44:45) Harley A. Rose: show cyan with your words and support what you want to see!!
(08/01 13:45:12) Mevvah: They need to be careful with investors, they can be predatory, and then kiss "indie" goodbye
(08/01 13:45:33) Dreamer3: "Adventures of Shroomie"
(08/01 13:45:37) *Jodok*: why not bake it like firmament?
(08/01 13:45:49) Harley A. Rose: they *may* do a backing campaign for *something*
(08/01 13:45:56) *Jodok*: ooh
(08/01 13:46:04) Harley A. Rose: cyan was vague about whether they would do one for any of the projects, alternating between "TBA" and "TBD"
(08/01 13:46:22) Korov'ev: in the first few days a number of online gaming websites have reported on Anglerfish, including PCGamer. One can hope.
(08/01 13:46:23) Mevvah: That'd be nice. But Firmament didn't sell as well as it really shoul've for as good a game as it is
(08/01 13:46:34) Harley A. Rose: again, show some support to cyan for what you want to see from the StateOf
(08/01 13:46:38) Harley A. Rose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLrBSgqf1XM
(08/01 13:46:43) Harley A. Rose: video link again for emphasis.
(08/01 13:46:52) Harley A. Rose: leave a comment if you can,
(08/01 13:47:11) Harley A. Rose: and make some noise on the discords if youre there
(08/01 13:47:14) Harley A. Rose: Cyan are always watching,
(08/01 13:47:23) Harley A. Rose: "Obsessively" as Hannah joked the other day,
(08/01 13:47:25) *Jodok*: ok
(08/01 13:47:44) Harley A. Rose: they are keeping an eye out on our reactions and what we want to see.
(08/01 13:48:01) Harley A. Rose: additionally, for those who remember the "Prefall" teaser in the merch advertisements a while back?
(08/01 13:48:04) Harley A. Rose: Anglerfish is Prefall.
(08/01 13:48:11) Harley A. Rose: so that's the same project,
(08/01 13:48:54) Harley A. Rose: on the GoMePub, im aware of crash issues continuing for certain users
(08/01 13:49:09) Harley A. Rose: ive only just gotten the fixed korman update, 0.18, to build out a patch
(08/01 13:49:18) Harley A. Rose: im hoping to have a hotfix pushed through sooner than later,
(08/01 13:49:46) Harley A. Rose: im just waiting on it to work through the minkatae pipeline
(08/01 13:49:56) rarified: Just pushed to prime
(08/01 13:50:01) Harley A. Rose: :) ty rarified
(08/01 13:50:03) *Jodok* claps his hands
(08/01 13:50:23) Mevvah: is this New Messengers/? That's where Karaoke is held
(08/01 13:50:28) Harley A. Rose: yes, New Messengers
(08/01 13:50:47) Harley A. Rose: until the hotfix goes through, if youre crashing, please lower your texture slider down to half
(08/01 13:51:00) Harley A. Rose: its a temporary work around but should do the trick.
(08/01 13:51:02) Mevvah: Ok hopefully since rarified had confirmed the fix is in prime, it'll go just fine today
(08/01 13:51:16) Harley A. Rose: i just need confirm from the crash experiencers on prime :)
(08/01 13:51:35) Harley A. Rose: right then, on that note, any questions?
(08/01 13:51:41) Mevvah: (confirming - this is prime, yes?)
(08/01 13:51:56) Harley A. Rose: Alpha > Prime > Staging > MOULa
(08/01 13:52:07) PodHopper: none in q
(08/01 13:52:09) Mevvah: Oh, so prime is a pre-pre-moula
(08/01 13:52:22) Harley A. Rose: staging is the 'make sure that cyans server works with the update' stage.
(08/01 13:52:28) Harley A. Rose: among other things
(08/01 13:52:38) Mevvah: Ok makes sense, thanks for the clarification
(08/01 13:52:39) rarified: Usually only 1-2 weeks
(08/01 13:52:52) Prad: MOULa has a 3-level staging pipeline
(08/01 13:52:53) Harley A. Rose: and for a hotfix like this we probably can skip a lengthy staging cycle,
(08/01 13:52:55) Mevvah: i'll look out for complaints in karaoke later
(08/01 13:53:18) Harley A. Rose: im not sure any of our crash testers are even on staging anyways
(08/01 13:53:25) Harley A. Rose: ill have to confer with them,
(08/01 13:53:36) Prad: today is no karaoke, Mevvah - Donahoo has RL business
(08/01 13:53:42) Harley A. Rose: questions, going once...?
(08/01 13:53:49) Mevvah: Ah.... maybe this is why I get net6ed out so often in karaoke (and tbh in RFD)
(08/01 13:54:05) Harley A. Rose: questions, going twiiiice...............???
(08/01 13:54:10) Korov'ev: Should've named Alpha, Optimus. "Optimus Prime Staging MOULa".
(08/01 13:54:16) Mevvah: (but rfd is in the plaza - ae'gura
(08/01 13:54:28) Harley A. Rose: your net6s are not the same crash as in the pub
(08/01 13:54:29) Mevvah: Lol Kor that sounds like a complete sentence
(08/01 13:54:36) Harley A. Rose: is a VRAM maxout crash
(08/01 13:54:38) Mevvah: Ah ok Harley
(08/01 13:54:39) Harley A. Rose: not even a crash report,
(08/01 13:55:12) Harley A. Rose: last chance, any questions?
(08/01 13:55:17) Harley A. Rose: questions questions....?
(08/01 13:55:21) PodHopper: none in q

(08/01 13:56:01) *Jodok*: yeah
(08/01 13:56:06) Harley A. Rose: assuming tweeks IRL doesnt eat up his lighting work time
(08/01 13:56:18) Harley A. Rose: thanks all
(08/01 13:56:22) Prad: I'd have asked if korman 0.18 does seamlessly work with projects built with korman 0.17 ... but maybe I#d figure out myself ...
(08/01 13:56:23) *Jodok*: It will take the time it needs...
