VV Dev Commentary on Thumpin Wumpa Islands TOMORROW AT 2PM

Because no one uses the subreddit...

Quote:
Hello all,
My name is Andrew Carl and I am a game designer at VV. I just got the green light from Activision and VV to stream myself playing Superchargers and the Wumpa Islands Adventure Pack while doing some developer commentary for Extra Life, a charity event where gamers stream themselves playing games for 24 hours. The show will start tomorrow (11/5/2016) at 2 PM on my Twitch channel. I'll run through some parts of the games and discuss my work on them.
All donations of at least $25 will receive a Skylanders Superchargers toy OR an exclusive artbook (created by Vicarious Visions showcasing all of our art for Superchargers). Donations of at least $50 will receive a SIGNED toy or art book by our game developers. $100+ donations will receive lots of toys and a signed artbook. Your donation is tax-deductible and ALL PROCEEDS go to help kids at our local Children's Miracle Network Hospital. The art books are the same artbooks the development team received as a gift after the game was shipped and contains a bunch of incredible art from our concept artists along with quotes and tidbits about the development of the game from various members of the team.
Here is a link to the VV team's Extra Life page so you can donate to myself or other members: http://www.extra-life.org/inde...am&teamID=31536
And here is a link to my Twitch stream. I will be streaming myself playing a variety of games starting tomorrow morning at 9 AM EST, but the developer commentary will begin at 2:00 PM.

Just a little heads up!

At least 25 bucks for Clutch? :c

Unfortunately, just a chance at it means I'd rather wait for Bad Juju to spending that much, but I might join if I have the time.

Also, paging wiki people, wouldn't that mean we could put the notes on the wiki for the characters missing Character Development sections? I know scanning the pages are a no-no, I mean previous elements and whatnot.

I actually considered donating 25 dollars for the artbook (I mean, it's less than 100 reais), but I think it's not possible, mainly if they want shipping too. Eh, sad, I would love to have this artbook. But hey, I might keep up with the stream.

It'd be pretty awesome if they could set a donation goal to sell this officially(because no joke people would buy these plenty, especially after seeing Strata auctions that would get heated quickly), but my guess is that Acti doesn't want these too public.

But maaan, some info on the Darkness' design, maybe some more stuff on Nightfall(what's under the maaask), maybe ask for more Malefor if David is around (doesn't seem like he is, not on the Extra Life list), at least that we can try to get.

My dream would be if that artbook contains at least a bit of information about the Guest Stars chosen before Bowser and Donkey Kong (Peach, Fox and Kirby). Maybe we could ask him if there's any sort of concept art about those. Maybe?

Very cool. I'm just regretting wasting my money on collecting every Supercharger and now I'm too broke to get all the Imaginators. If I had the money, I would check this out.

I donated $100 as well as I really wanted that Clutch book and it's a steal at that price. And lucky me, I bought only a handful of SuperChargers, so chances are going to be very high that they'll send me ones which I don't have. Sweet!

Anyway, I'll probably be there in the Twitch stream under "Vampifella," so say hi if you see me!

Before doing this, where is the option to choose what you want for the donation? Or better yet what are the steps asked for to do this?

It might depend on the streamer. Last year I didn't have to pay shipping for my prizes but I didn't get much compared to other users.

Yep! You can send Richard a message during the donation sign up. I called them all wonderful people and wished them the best of luck in Sky 7!

Niiice, I didn't oversleep,1-2 hours to go still. Considering the grab bag list is pretty nice, I guess I'll watch before the time as well.

edit: it's on! Just 5 hours 'till the QA.

I can't make it to the Q&A so ya think someone could ask a few questiobs for me? Here they are.

Is Vicarious Visions working on Skylanders 7?

How often does VV take in fan input?

If yes they are working on Skylanders 7, will it be awesome? Maybe a hint at the gimmick?

I can't make it to the QA too, but if someone can ask the dev. my questions that would be good
So..
1. Is VV or another company working on Skylanders 7?
2. If so, will it have the hitstun effect? (Because I hate it sooo much)

Can someone make one small question about what I said earlier? Here it is:

There is any type of document regarding the scrapped Guest Stars, or it was just ideas that never made on paper?

Considering it straight up doesn't show anything for me no matter how many refreshes, no, I guess there aren't enough people watching to ask these questions.

Well, tell that to certain users who keep bringing it up e_e' I'm trying to time myself with what to ask because he clearly can't get to the subject he wants to talk about with the questions.

more info to note: Publishers decide the Starter Pack characters, though doesn't quite answer why Stealth Elf every day with just them and not TFB.

Because they didn't look like drivers, according to him, but it does mean that they wanted some anyway but were turned down.

Are you sure it's not just twitch? I was trying to watch another stream, and it kept loading without doing anything, or would play for a couple seconds, stutter, load, and go on.

It's my end, he was working fine until I opened some other pages then it got unstable. Better than the HTML5 player which straight up stopped working at points.

Aaaand now he has to start Imaginators over, which means I'll have to mute and tab out until it's time for the AP :I Again guys, please take notes of the important questions.

Flynn and Cali were at least considered for playable characters in Superchargers, but for 'various reasons' didn't end up happening.
