Okay that's interesting.

If FXS Sarah pops her head in to source questions for the art team, I gotta know if there’s any way they can throw in an Idle Animation where the camera pans across various parts of the map, in close up, to show of the lovely lovely terrain & cities.

I forget if that was ever a feature in earlier games or if I just dreamt it

Is there any thread for the Sep 12 gameplay session yet?
Or do we wait for Firaxis to upload their own pinned thread about that?

3 art staffs so... mostly art talk?

The panel is titled "Bringing Your Civ World to Life" so that makes sense. Should be a really interesting talk. The graphics in this game look beautiful and incredibly detailed.

 

[Dale]

I will probably even be there on the Friday.

Finally, we can all be asleep while Bite gets the latest news during waking hours.

They'll still tell us nothing new until he goes to sleep.

I'll go with a no, because no one ever includes an AEST, so you can all go get stuffed.

EDIT: your times are wrong btw. Lookup AU daylight savings 2024.

Please help me.
I threw the time into google, asking 11 AM Melbourne to San Franciso, and got 6 PM.
https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/australia-melbourne-to-est this one agrees.
https://www.timebie.com/timezone/melbournesanfrancisco.php this one agrees.
Where is the error?
PAX Aus is in Melbourne, right?
When do you change the time?

Yeah, it's Melbourne. Daylight savings is from the first Sunday of October, to the first Sunday of April. So whilst yes, 11am AEST is 9pm EDT, it is not 11am AEDT. If you turned up at 9pm EDT, you'd find the presentation to be finished.

I use the meeting planner at https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html to forward plan a specific date.

 

[The_J]

thanks Dale, fixed.

On the topic: We get a unit artist, an environmental artist and the art director... I hope to hear something more about the landscape and the ethnic units .

 

[Heinage]

I wonder what, if anything, new we’ll learn from this developer panel.
Mainly commenting to follow this thread lol …
Didn’t realise this was happening at the end of this week. Glad it’s at a more reasonable time for NZ

 

[Futumch]

I remember going to a Game developers conference in Melbourne back in 2002. There was a running gag about how Melbourne still had a World Trade Centre. It was amazing seeing the founders of BioWare and Dice before they were bought by EA. If you ever get the chance to go to one of these things, I heartily recommend it.

 

[FXS_Sar]

Hey all! Just wanted to chime in here and say yes - please let me know in the comments: what questions would you like our art & design devs to answer in an upcoming Q&A! We'll also be uploading the video to YouTube after the show, so you can watch any time. We hope you tune in to watch!

For an art related question: Does the visual for non unique ageless buildings like the granary change through the game? If yes, only new ones build later on or ones already build eventually get their looks changed?

A gift for the Antipodes Sarah? Confirm Australia? DLC even? Bob Hawke has passed since 6. A unanimous choice as a great (bonza even) leader choice. Opening quote (after we toweled up the yanks in Americas cup) “any boss who sacks anyone for not turning up today, is a bum”

 

[Thugless]

Oh I forgot to add. Grain to alcohol gives an extra happiness boost Civ wide. Hawkey would have approved of that. You beauty!
