Out of the thousands and thousands of questions you get: Thank-you for answering my question and doing a studio tour. We, the community, loved it! Thank-you!!!
The fact that they are giving us almost daily updates on the game and the staff gives me hope that this is going to be a success. They're clearly proud of everything they've accomplished and are excited to share it. They're keeping up the hype for the game and gathering more and more support for it. I truly believe that this game is going to shatter the standard for MMORPGs. They've attached their names, brand, and reputations to this game; they don't have the luxury of falling short on this game.
ah right... well the problem is i wasn't really interested in no man's sky... but seeing archage then black desert online, being made, + this team has quite some experience it seems, i'm sure they can pull off a lot of things they have announced in the game, but you gotta know, from everything they have said, they never said a ton of features either, just the base of what they want their game to be and usually the problem with games and stuff is rumors or fake news or people over-describing the games or whatever, so keep it real as well xD
I like the fact that this tour is not really planned or scripted beforehand like an interview. There are people who are in the middle of their work, but also people who are missing. This shows the video is a real normal work day in the studio, not "hey guys we gonna make a video so act nice like you are super hard-working person and prepare to say something nice to the audiences!" They are not faking or hiding anything, and they are pretty proud for what they have done so far.
Thank you very very much for this amazing tour! I'm a very creative theorist, and I would have a suggestion for your break area: For the sake of creativity I would recommend either a table football or pool table for that area, so your amazing minds can switch of for a couple of minutes... this would boost your teams motivation and creativity exponentially. Much love!
videos like this and keeping up and staying in contact with the mmo community is why we love you guys at intrepid. keep it up! and make mmo's great again!
Elisha Jamie you're so lucky you can get to alpha I am still a pleb and have to wait till open beta or even full release :( kinda cool to see you on almost all of their videos btw ;D
VanquishElite lol thanks and if you join a guild sometimes you can get a beta key from one of the other members. We are giving them out as prizes for our members for contests we are holding.
VanquishElite Check out our guild Seven Kingdoms we have our own discord and website seven.kingdoms.shivtr.com at the moment we have almost a hundred members and most of us have alpha access. I am Sinbad one of the officers in our guild.
I just found out about this project and hecking heck this is transparent af. SUUUUCH a fresh take on this very secretive genre. Coming from GW2 this is giving me such a nergasm. Never stop being unique and being a game for gamers by gamers. Love this!
These devs are really putting their heart and soul into this game. I truly am so happy to see such a company come forth and do what so many others wouldn't
The level of interaction with the community is beyond everything i`ve seen anywhere. This will be the game in wich the players will have a voice and they wont be ignored like in so many other mmo`s. You have the full support of thousand of players across the world and failing is not an option. I`ve watched this game before the hype and now i know that this game will be the only game i will play for a verry long time. I wish you all an Intrepid Studio the best and above all the stamina to conquer the peak of the MMO genre
Thank you for let us in Steven. I wish u guys the best with this project that has become quickly in the concept dream of many fans of the MMORPG genre. Don´t let us down ;)
A friend I met playing New World has been talking about this game, so I figured I'd check out the videos. I watched the newer ones about the cleric abilities and started watching these older videos yesterday and am now anticipating this game coming out! when I get the extra money i will definitely be purchasing the alpha or beta packs!!! Maybe I'll even apply for the studios since I live here in San Diego! looking forward to watching the rest of these videos!
This may seem like a small thing, but I am impressed that you have such a modest work space. Most successful kick starters seem to go way over the top on their office area. Glad to see you seem to be conscious of where to spend money.
thankes Steven for the tour its always great having devs that show they care about what they are doing and inviting the community that cant go down to the studio and visit for them self
Interpid studios you guys are going to make it big someday I wish you guys the success and all the luck in the world and please keep moving forward and make MMORPG great again.
i have a question in regards to weapon diversity and being a ranger. In most games that basically allows anyone to use any weapon, as a ranger i still get shafted for obvious reasons. Do you have a way to let us rangers have a vary of weapons besides the classic bow and xbow (which is basically the same thing) id love guns, maybe throwing knives, dual pistols maybe?
I usually never comment on TH-cam, but you guys got me on this one. So so stoked that the new player race is looking like lizardmen. I myself am not a fan of the standard cookie cutter races, humans, elves, etcetera. So it will be nice to have a good odd ball. It would be even cooler to maybe see an insectoid race similar D&D's Thri-Kreen in the future. Keep up the good work guys!
This is what a working environment should look like and strive to be in the gaming sphere. Bright.. relaxed.. people, artists, craftmanship just working with an open mind. Not narrowed.
Okay he's either the best actor in the world, or one of the kindest people and most community-based Developer/Boss I've ever seen! Glad to see my future game in hands like his!
Please take your time with this game and don't rush it. Live up to what you've promised. And get that cough checked out! Nice tour. Thanks. That horse on the drawing board, though.
I remember in 2016 when this was just a sparkle on the AMD Catalyst driver UI. Now look at it. Wish I could get a key. I would like to find all the quarks in all the different key combinations. Lovely game and great people working against the flow.
Your place is absolutely friken besutiful, I love you guys already. I JUST WANT TO PLAY THE GAME ALREADY. you guys been making my dream mmo, which I will dream about for the next year until I can play :*( :*)
Amazing work , congratulations on 3m kickstarter , can't wait to live another life in AoC, HYPE IS REAL. P.S ¬STEVEN I' LOVE YOU HAVE THE SAME WALLPAPER ( I even have that picture on my youtube profile ) :P
Cool Intrepid Studio.....cool concept....i hope the fight and non fight animation is dynamic.....Like Black Desert...I Like smooth Animation And Lil bit Acrobatic or Dynamic
I one of 20,000 backers! and 1 of 750 you payed for the early bird founder deal! I AM SPECIAL! Everyone is going to think I am so fucking cool when this game makes mmo's great again!
If I could find the video I'd post a link here but one of the video Q and A's I've come across (its not a very popular one -- like I don't think its one of the PAX east or West videos its one of those short ones)...He says there's like 70 people right now working on AoC and they are actively hiring --- then he said the team will grow greatly possible to nearly 200 over time... From that I deduce two things 1) Nice to hear they are committed to quality and are hiring good talent still -- that's a good sign IMO for the overall quality of the game and 2)...now having seen this video walkthrough of their very tiny and small studio and staff and couple that with the "there's about 70 people working on the game NOW..." comment..... That has to mean everyone working on AoC doesn't actually work on-site at the studio because there's no way there's 70 people in that studio from what this tour video shows.
The supposedly do have programmers but not many, thus 'pre-alpha' footage being VERY 'pre', but many upcoming hires indeed being programmers for the systems they need.
Excited for the game! Looks good. Solid team, I hope it that this makes me want to call in sick for work on release. Also I have a question for outside the game and more the studio. How would someone get started in game development and do you have any advice about the development side of a game. Thank you guys!

Your welcome

Gives me hope that they're not trying to pull a No Man's Sky.
is no man's sky even tagged as an actual MMOrpg?, if not, then, can't compare
Tiger LoveHeart I was referring to how the devs lied about a number of features being in the game. The genre is irrelevant.
ah right... well the problem is i wasn't really interested in no man's sky...
but seeing archage then black desert online, being made, + this team has quite some experience it seems, i'm sure they can pull off a lot of things they have announced in the game, but you gotta know, from everything they have said, they never said a ton of features either, just the base of what they want their game to be
and usually the problem with games and stuff is rumors or fake news or people over-describing the games or whatever, so keep it real as well xD

I hope they do something like this again soon! I loved this! ♥️♥️♥️

Love the backround music! Keep the good work up :3
This Tour is just heartwarming. Wish you guys so much luck and fun! Can't wait to play your game!
videos like this and keeping up and staying in contact with the mmo community is why we love you guys at intrepid. keep it up! and make mmo's great again!
Love the studio and glad I pledged. Can't wait to see you in alpha 1!
Elisha Jamie you're so lucky you can get to alpha I am still a pleb and have to wait till open beta or even full release :(
kinda cool to see you on almost all of their videos btw ;D
VanquishElite lol thanks and if you join a guild sometimes you can get a beta key from one of the other members. We are giving them out as prizes for our members for contests we are holding.
Elisha Jamie :O where can I join such guilds? :O
VanquishElite Check out our guild Seven Kingdoms we have our own discord and website seven.kingdoms.shivtr.com at the moment we have almost a hundred members and most of us have alpha access. I am Sinbad one of the officers in our guild.
Elisha Jamie I will surely chech that out later today thanks dude or girl idk which of the two people you are xD thank you anyways :)
I just found out about this project and hecking heck this is transparent af.
SUUUUCH a fresh take on this very secretive genre. Coming from GW2 this is giving me such a nergasm. Never stop being unique and being a game for gamers by gamers. Love this!
the only thing they wont spill the beans on is some juicy lore ;-;
Thanks for inviting us in :)
These devs are really putting their heart and soul into this game. I truly am so happy to see such a company come forth and do what so many others wouldn't

Don´t let us down ;)
the background music gave me a very melancholic feel haha. keep up the good work!!

That was pretty kool. Would like to see more such similar videos of Intrepid Studios. Nice to see people having fun while designing AoC.
This really will be a game changer. I can't wait for this to come out. You guys are going to have sooooo much success! This is going to be awesome.
You are great people. Thanks for your work and expect my continued support for this game!
Really cool to see you guys getting more funds for more developers and staff.
thankes Steven for the tour its always great having devs that show they care about what they are doing and inviting the community that cant go down to the studio and visit for them self
Interpid studios you guys are going to make it big someday I wish you guys the success and all the luck in the world and please keep moving forward and make MMORPG great again.
That drawling of the horse on the whiteboard in the beginning is legendary LOL
I love how clean and tidy your place of work is
grads on your massive kickstarter. i imagin the joy you guys must feel.
that is so cool i always wondered what it would be like or look like even to work at one of these places, very cool keep up the great work guys!
Quite the place to work at, looks like a dream! Hoping the best for this game.
Wow, so much has changed since this was filmed. Would love to see a re-shoot for 2019!
i have a question in regards to weapon diversity and being a ranger. In most games that basically allows anyone to use any weapon, as a ranger i still get shafted for obvious reasons. Do you have a way to let us rangers have a vary of weapons besides the classic bow and xbow (which is basically the same thing) id love guns, maybe throwing knives, dual pistols maybe?
5:50 anyone recognize the wallpapers on his monitors? would love to know where they're from! especially the one on the left
Nice crib guys
Looks like they working hard on the under realm race right now, that's awsesome! I can't wait to play this game, seriously considering donating!

So exciting. You guys are doing an awesome job, keep up the great work! :D
not a huge studio, you guys are doing great with what you've got!
Love it! Keep plugging away and adding to this great team. GOAT
anyone else noticed that they blurred out the contents of the brief case. Darn it i thought they would over look it.
I would like to visit your studio, it's very cool, good job guys, make a beautiful MMORPG!
I usually never comment on TH-cam, but you guys got me on this one. So so stoked that the new player race is looking like lizardmen. I myself am not a fan of the standard cookie cutter races, humans, elves, etcetera. So it will be nice to have a good odd ball.

David! counting on you!!! make those animations smooth and weighty!
This is what a working environment should look like and strive to be in the gaming sphere. Bright.. relaxed.. people, artists, craftmanship just working with an open mind. Not narrowed.
Okay he's either the best actor in the world, or one of the kindest people and most community-based Developer/Boss I've ever seen! Glad to see my future game in hands like his!
Braver of Worlds here!!! So damn excited!!!!
Please take your time with this game and don't rush it. Live up to what you've promised.
And get that cough checked out!
Nice tour. Thanks.
That horse on the drawing board, though.
I remember in 2016 when this was just a sparkle on the AMD Catalyst driver UI. Now look at it. Wish I could get a key. I would like to find all the quarks in all the different key combinations. Lovely game and great people working against the flow.
Amazing walk through. Pls, do u give animation tutorials? I want to learn.
Much love
damn nice office space. need some sound dampening but id be happy af to work there
Would love to see a updated version just to see all the changes with all the new staff
'Mericans usually have a way... that even though it is new.. it still looks old... this is refreshing.
Hope in the future you guys changes that landscape on the wall from some Ashes landscape art! =)
Love seeing the EQ jacket!!

Amazing work , congratulations on 3m kickstarter , can't wait to live another life in AoC, HYPE IS REAL.
P.S ¬STEVEN I' LOVE YOU HAVE THE SAME WALLPAPER
( I even have that picture on my youtube profile ) :P
that horse was the best thing I saw XD
Que emocionante poder ver su trabajo amigos....esperamos con emoción poder jugar este gran juego mmo..saludos desde chie
I already liking this. not about the game but about the dev
that is an insane studio, dream job location,
WHAT WAS THE CLEAR HEIGHT ?
What is the name of the background song? :)
Cool Intrepid Studio.....cool concept....i hope the fight and non fight animation is dynamic.....Like Black Desert...I Like smooth Animation And Lil bit Acrobatic or Dynamic
I one of 20,000 backers! and 1 of 750 you payed for the early bird founder deal! I AM SPECIAL! Everyone is going to think I am so fucking cool when this game makes mmo's great again!
wooooooh magic!! what decks? standard modern legacy?
Boys got big bucks, you know hes playing some blinged out vintage
Who is in charge of sound/music in your team? So far, music is great so, thank you :)
Nice studios you guys got there, keep up the good work :) I´m just curious who the hell codes the game when you are almost designers only :p
thinking about that right now and suddenly i see ur comment :D
Probably the "confidential" guy. Probably why they blurred his screens. Didnt want anybody taking a peek at the inside codes.
How many bathrooms are there?
2 😏
Good Work!!
I love this game!!
Why is a Unircorn in the back :D
Very small studio. But I truly hope you can make this game into your dream game.
What was behind blurred part of the screen? :3
Some coding or something?
nice u work on races make so happpyyyy now
Imagine if there was a trillion races in ashes of creation....
Kelvin Martinez on character i could chose to be
i want to work there, wow
If I could find the video I'd post a link here but one of the video Q and A's I've come across (its not a very popular one -- like I don't think its one of the PAX east or West videos its one of those short ones)...He says there's like 70 people right now working on AoC and they are actively hiring --- then he said the team will grow greatly possible to nearly 200 over time... From that I deduce two things 1) Nice to hear they are committed to quality and are hiring good talent still -- that's a good sign IMO for the overall quality of the game and 2)...now having seen this video walkthrough of their very tiny and small studio and staff and couple that with the "there's about 70 people working on the game NOW..." comment..... That has to mean everyone working on AoC doesn't actually work on-site at the studio because there's no way there's 70 people in that studio from what this tour video shows.
It has to be the best working here, hope some day I will
ha walking in on the design team wasnt scripted at all ha
Walking up to the technical manager wasn't scripted for sure, especially when they have to blur out in post edit hahaha
*takes one look at the studio and sees all the funding and computer power in the world to make a great game*
This is what heavan looks like.
Did I miss something, or there are... no programmers?
The supposedly do have programmers but not many, thus 'pre-alpha' footage being VERY 'pre', but many upcoming hires indeed being programmers for the systems they need.
I highly doubt they could go so far without programmers...
Still waiting to hear if there's going to be a release for PS4
Dude...by the time this releases, the ps4 will be a dinosaur
+可愛いは正義 I know, right? Not saying it can't be done(FFXIV), only that is shouldn't be done
whats in the orange box??!!! its driving me crazy, you always have it and we never see whats inside.
Yeah WHAT'S IN THE BOX.
some good ol' pieces of crack
in the earlier streams it was something purely white tho, so I think the oreos were there to make people shut up about it .
Steve Gee thats actually true. It is an alpha version of the upcoming lootcrates in Ashes
Probably the updated version of The Orange Box, including half life 3.
amazing what a small group of guys can make these days.
Excited for the game! Looks good. Solid team, I hope it that this makes me want to call in sick for work on release. Also I have a question for outside the game and more the studio. How would someone get started in game development and do you have any advice about the development side of a game. Thank you guys!
Waiting Impatiently
MTG on his desk, nice! =D
very nice
Love it! kep it UP!!
Power of sandals!
Great Video
MMMOGA :D
John goodman?
the small team kinda concerns me though, for such a big project
