My friends, THANK YOU for tuning in to today’s development update. We are cloooooose to A2 coming!!🎉 Today’s showcase was the most technically oriented we’ve ever done, and it’s all in an effort to share with our glorious audience what exactly goes into making Ashes and what is being tested in A2. I know these kinds of updates aren’t as sexy as pure unadulterated gameplay, but they are important and I am excited to get your feedback on what you saw and heard today. We will be announcing the A2 start date at the end of this month, and we have begun sending out test invites to A1 users. Stay tuned for more updates ❤🎉

Really looking forward to this tech being implemented before Alpha 2 launch later this Quarter!

Crazy effort on taking the complex system 1:09:44 and moving from single threaded processor of the replication graph to multi threaded. I'd be curious to see the debug ability and tools setup to deal with the complexity of that level of system when the 40k/tick worst case scenario is pushed. Props from a fan watching from the side!

I'm mainly from the Star Citizen community. So it's exciting to see that your studio is also achieving very similar technology that we're seeing from Cloud Imperium Games. I don't have enough hours in the day to be passionate about two big and ambitious MMO projects. But I still want to support Ashes, wish the folks at Intrepid all the best and I really hope your hard work and dedication to the project pay off. I also want to see backers for Ashes get a well deserved win. Hats off to everyone. Let's be happy for how our games are finally coming together!

Star Citizen and Ashes of Creation paving the way forward to next gen MMORPG's.

You'll have to pardon my language due to excitement Steven, but this is simply f*cking insane. I am extremely proud of your vision and perseverance. For all the hard work, thank you Intrepid.

As a dev myself, its really interesting the concept that they created to solve the server issue. And its a lasting long issue, almost all massive mmos suffered with this. Wow, ragnarok online, line age 2, mu, every one had massive lag-spikes and almost a no-go by today standards of "playable". Even something like new world, that had one of the most powerful network infra-estructures companies in the world behind it, coulnd handle almost 1 milion players online. They're literraly changing the insane out-dated approach of "more processing power equals more players" what was impossible to measure how many you will actually have at launch, thus being always a matter of: "waiting for servers to be at 100% capacity" to address the issue, wich is extremely innefective. Its really simple and clever how proxies will just "simulate" an action without overloading the base server. I hope it works as they plan, its a huge step.

I'm a developer, but I've never worked on any gaming projects. The most mind blowing thing to me actually, is that this isn't what is already standard in the industry. I imagined that these server meshing type structures is already how MMOs are created. I don't mean to downplay this in any way. If this isn't how things have already been done, then it still makes your team's effort to create this a huge undertaking. You can imagine these structures on a high level, but implementing them, especially as a frontier, is very impressive. Thank you for doing this work, it will push gaming standard forward, we gamers benefit from this greatly.

Server meshing is a very new (relatively speaking) technique. Until this, generally speaking, each area of the world would be a separate server and you could only see and interact with people within your server. When you reach the border of that server you would either get a loading screen, or all of the people you're leaving behind as you cross the border would immediately disappear and the new server's population would appear. This sort of tech is starting to take hold, but it is VERY complicated to build and most established game engines have not yet provided systems like this out of the box - So it means the developers of each game individually have to figure it out themselves and build something unique from scratch.

@sergelysak

@Tylru So I've now learned. I just watched a video on Starfield working on this too. Always assumed that this tech was a necessity for MMOs from the get go. Seeing the incredible innovations in graphics lately, I thought similar occurred in other systems that are more behind the scenes.

I was really hoping you would follow CIG in this tech, truly amazingly, good job guys.

Looking really great. Can't wait to be a part of Alpha 2.

This game and Star Citizen are my 2 most hyped games for the future.

you had me at no layering...so excited to be a part of this world youre building.

Stuff like this is very indicative of you guys’ willingness to stick to your original vision, much more so than saying you will or even showing progress in gameplay and design. The fact that you encountered a seemingly insurmountable problem that all mmo devs face and, because it is in the way of your goal, decide to tackle it with groundbreaking technology solutions shows how dedicated your company is to delivering what you originally intended to create. I’m looking forward to seeing what else you can accomplish.

I cant help but notice how the devs explaining these tech things really into it, its like an inventor explain his exciting new invention to others.

I'm so delighted that the hardwork of people in the backend are getting their HUGELY deserved limelight. This is seriously amazing stuff, thank you!!!!!

When I learned about server meshing last year I was hoping you would be implementing it, hope everything goes well the team sounds very proud of their work.

great stuff, thanks for showing where you're at and the details behind the scenes ! Rooting for you as you keep pushing the boundaries for the genre

cant wait to dive into alpha 2, awesome progress these past few years

The level of detail continues to amaze me. I'm truly grateful to witness this project come to life.

As a backend software engineer, I simply could not be prouder of what Intrepid Team have accomplished. Phenomenal and unprecedented work! This changes not just this game but the whole game development industry! 🎉

I'm an ISP network engineer and I'm glad to finally hear about the network concepts for this type of game. I've always been curious about it since I was a kid. I get the impression gamers rarely consider "what's sitting under the hood". Previews like these show the scale of the project. It must impress any listener. I appreciate and hope for more of these types of techy presentations

*They grow up so fast!* 🥰

I tell everyone i know that even thinks about gaming about this game, cannot be hyped more about the future of this project!

Awesome job. Great to hear from the engineering team as they are the wizards behind the scene. I work in Business operations in tech, but I always make sure to befriend and get to know the engineers and devs at my companies. Nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for these folks. Glad you were able to spotlight your teams work Steven. Well done.

I love the passion you can hear from them. Even with something as technical as networking. You can tell they just want to make a good game. High hopes for this one.

Another video yay! Was afraid you weren’t posting this month

i really enjoyed this video. i love peaking behind the veil and seeing what causes the problems we've all experienced, why they happen and what to do to fix them. i had no idea this many aspects went into networking, like one of you mentioned "the client doesnt care how it works, just that it does work" and i was that 'client' for a while. World of Warcraft: Legion was when i started noticing things like server meshing and sharding, and ive gotta say that is a terrible experience. One moment your roaming with a group of alliance players and you turn around and suddenly they are all gone and the Horde chases you down, cos you were sharded... im super happy that you guys managed what you did, the infectious joy you guys are displaying having overcome these obstacles to provide the best experience for your players is heart-warming. Thank you guys for all your hard work. I hope you guys are ready, cos what you're doing is raising the bar that all other mmo's are gonna be compared to.

Seeing how you guys break everything down and how the servers work vs other games is so interesting thanks for being so clear❤

server boundaries may be partially fenced, mountains-rivers, etc. in the game world to reduce interactions in the space between servers and move the game to a given server. -party buffs, party exp bonus, party loot bonus.8 ppl party.

It would help, but would also bring other issues to the table. To start off you may think on how the map is split to be distributed across all the servers and how X and Y coordinates work so you can tell where one server starts and the other ends. You would basically have two approaches: 1. Draw squares or rectangles and then assign them 4 coordinates (one for each corner) as a reference, and say to the algorithm responsible for creating a server something like "from coordinate 1 to 2, draw a line" so it can easily create that squared boundary or; 2. Draw those borders around the assets inconsistently (e.g. without a "cornered" geometric form). Now, the problems are: - In case #1 you would need to place assets that you simply can't go over (like walls, boulders, canyons and mountains) in a squared pattern around each server, which would basically fuck up your landscape and turn into something very ugly and uninsteresting very quickly; - In case #2 you could create the landscape as you want, but since you cannot easily calculate the coordinates using references (corners) you would need to calculate and store each one of the X and Y values across all the border extension in order to draw an irregular border and thus, create an irregular shaped server. Considering only these two cases (which are probably not the only ones) it is way easier to just go with a squared-pattern server and work out how to optmize the server transfer itself, specially when we think about resilience e.g. how quickly a faulty server can go down and then up again.

@WingTzu343

Perhaps, but I don't think it'll be that simple because of their dynamic gridding tech. That's what's sort of insane about their solution is that those boundaries aren't static. They shift based on where the demand/load is located. Because of that, they're having to ensure server boundaries just don't cause those problems in the first place. Otherwise, yeah that'll be a limitation as to how exactly they can slice up their servers which could interestingly influence map design.

@Hzuuuu

5 күн бұрын

​@@YeetMeDaddy My biggest concern as as to how they're going to implement dynamic gridding is the fact that the game world landscape itself is dynamic. The landscapes changes depending on player activities. No one Realm can be the same as the location of player activities will affect the location of the landscape changes. The world goes from barren to be filled with player triggered advancements from camps to villages to metropolis. Again, their location isn't static either. It can be coastal, on the mountains, in flatlands, etc. Your first solution is a lot more likely. From what I understand, the way they're talking it seems that their approach will depend heavily on the replicators being able to transfer authorities as seamlessly and fast as possible. Your 2nd solution sounds like a very impossible approach considering the dynamic nature of the game's world.

This shows to me how much you truly care about this game and the players - AoC ftw! I have no doubt in my mind that Ashes will steal my heart from a much loved and favorite mmo of mine - Anarchy Online - which nothing has truly ever compared or filled the void since I discovered it in 2005, despite it being 23 years old and dead. You guys are awesome!

i really like that you're educating players about how how your game is built. most developers don't and end up with a community drawing assumptions out their asses. keep doing that. also nice to see you're gonna make alpha access available again, hopefully at a more reasonable price this time.

Thank you! This stuff was something I was looking forward for a long time. Not only pretty visuals common for unreal engine games but the insight to the backend.

I am also a Network Engineer working in Telecommunications and this was really fascinating to watch. I know you had to try and make this as easy to explain as possible but I'd love to see a panel or discussion at a Game or Network Conference where you can get a bit more in the weeds.

I really enjoyed this presentation, as somebody who really doesn't have a strong understanding of server architecture. I found the explanations absolutely fascinating - and hearing that intrepid has put resources into developing cutting edge, proprietary methods of approaching this issue is very encouraging. Good work guys.

You guys are mad lads! I love it.. Thank you!

Had chills that was amazing

I LOVE YOU for doing this. The lowlevel "talks" are the best! I know and understand the community is mixed and wants/understands different things, but I really love that you give us who are interested in the technical lowlevel parts something! This is more meaty than some GDC talks given by other companies ! Love you

In short and in electronic engineering terms, what usuals server mashing has is "series connection" circuit while Intrepid made a "parallel connection" circuit so if one device goes bad others wont be effected much.

Man, I really can't begin to say how cool this is from a tech point, especially being able to go through with multi-threading Unengines replicator after distributing that replicator to so many other servers like from a server tech nerds perspective. This is really impressive and I can't wait to see how it performs under real PC test.

I am making a small game in my spare time as a self-taught coder, and though I'm not nearly close to understanding technical level of complexity this team is implementing, it is still fascinating seeing the kinds of problems they're facing and the solutions they have to think of. Definitely a cool stream so thanks for sharing!

This is amazing content and Steven and his team does a fantastic job showcasing it. Look forward to the next video

*slow clap* Got damn, this is good. Just when I thought that only Star Citizen was doing server meshing, these guys was like yup, were doing it too. Boys, we are on the verge of another great MMO boom and golden age with this new tech. GOT DAYUM this is going to be good.
