The worst part is it nerfs 2 decent addons for both sides. Bitter Murmur for Killer, and Kindred for Survivor. If anything the only reason Kindred is so good is to see is the Killer is camping, and to see other Survivors in SoloQ. The bubble makes it way too hard to see if the killer or survivors instantly dart off to another direction.

DBD's approach to collision is a big part of the problem, they could fill maps with pretty details and still not impact chases too much if a lot of minor stuff had no collision (like the clutter around shack as Scott mentions, which are especially egregious). The logic is crazy really, like some bushes you can walk through, and then there are those bushes on Garden of Joy that are like Sherman tanks and are basically their own loops.

The thing that pissed me off the most about this is that in one answer they say they don't just look at stats, but also community feedback and design goals when making changes, yet the answer they gave for the trapper question says exactly the opposite. "Oh we fully recognize that everyone thinks trapper is awful and needs a lot of help but his stats are OK so we're not gonna do anything fuck you". Like what the fuck? These devs are such liars.

I think the black bubble is mostly there for when the killder has addons or perks that make the survivor blind. so you can still see where the hook took place while on a gen with fearmonger.

Scott you mentioned the mobile team possibly being such a different team, and I'm pretty sure they are. Idk if you know much about Identity V, but I'm pretty sure BHVR just hired them to create DBD mobile and most of the skins is made by them with BHVR's blessing. I'm almost certain of this because a lot of the changes on Mobile and a lot of the way DBD mobile works is just similar to Identity V in a lot of ways. With ranked queues, profiles that describe your match history, global chat and profile pictures.

BHVR is one of the few companies I know of that will actively not do something that would earn them a ton of money, like survivor emotes and mori animations. I would normally say it's a good thing that the game company isn't trying to milk the community of all their money and only focuses on skins but I'm inclined to believe that it's more to do with they can't due to internal reasons, whether it's staff or their game engine and spaghetti code maybe, who knows.

i think the reason why it takes so long to implement changes in dbd is because of the spaghetti code.

Hey, that's my question at 33:34 ! Disappointing answer but expected.

The design intent, community feedback, data analysis chart Scott mentioned near the beginning is the year 3 community livestream. I left a comment there, but it's at 1:11:20. Exact same damn words.

On the point about turnover at behavior as it relates to learning what works and what doesn't, that turnover every 2-3 years is on par with most software companies. I work at a non-gaming software company and this literally happens all the time. The key is they need to have really good documentation and they need to throw money at outgoing devs to train up the new ones. Even with that, there will still be growing pains with the new devs, but there's not much else you can do about it. Considering the massive push towards constantly releasing new content, I doubt they have very good documentation. They probably don't have the time for it. That's why behavior should hire a good technical writer if they don't have one already. They should be the guru that documents the philosophy and progression of dbd, what works and what doesn't.

Unless it was a bug, that response about the hook bubbles is BS. I distinctly remember being able to see auras through the bubbles back in years 3 and 4

I know its funny they always give the same response from BHVR but its still somewhat of a relief that they are acknowledging issues that are being asked of. Many companies such as activision are dealing with a ton of issues such as IP grabbing and pc bricking in their older titles as well as other basic things about their game that they are not addressing and even an acknowledgement can mean so much. Ofc I'm sure a lot of people know this and it is still funny to poke fun at the safe response but its not all that bad

3:42 I work for a AAA studio, by the time you are seeing something on PTB that is the result of months of work and it was already decided that is what is going into the game. The decision to work on and prioritize that content was made prior to starting, and the only changes they'd risk pushing to PTB will be data ones. (think number changes) None of the feedback from this Q&A will realistically be implemented in the patch following the anniversary one. The content and design for that patch has most likely already been approved and is roughly 1/3rd of the way through by now. Maybe the patch after it though, at the earliest.

The design team is usually working with simole shapes like cubes and cylinders to design a leve, and then the art team goes through and replace those primitives with actual art. The design team is trying to build something that is fun to play, while the art team is trying to build something that is nice to look at, and sometimes those two goals butt up against eachother.

Also, from personal experience as a designer, I know a lot of level artists who don't even play the game or test their work. If it looks pretty in the editor, they consider their job done. Ideally the QA team should be finding and reporting all of these issues, though, so I'm not sure why so many of them make it to live servers (or don't get fixed more quickly)

13:34 "A bush. A tree." "A FUCKING RANDOM TWIG ON EYRIE THAT COMPLETELY HALTS MY CHAINSAW OR HATCHET." would have been the logical conclusion to the triumvirat of shit. About the "BM with emotes" point you brought up: The same argument can be made for perks being strongly tuned for weaker killers. The current argument (I don't know if you subscribe to that idea or not) is "we can't have too strong perks because the high tier killers, mainly Nurse and Blight, are too opressive with them". But they already are opressive, even with balanced or even weaker perks. So let weak killers have their tools, Nurse and Blight are gonna slap anyway.

May I just point out the stupidity of making a AUA (ask us anything) only to just answer basically every question with “we’re aware of the issue, but we can’t tell you anything about what we’re doing to fix it. All we can say is it’ll probably take 1 - 2 years give it take”

Q: Please Fix Trapper A: Naughty Bear Skin

For the mobile cosmetics taking a long time to come to main game, it could also be to try and incentivize people to spend time (and maybe eventually money) on the mobile version

Just wanted to say. Scott you’re a talented and smart KZreadr and streamer and keep up what you’re doing

They might have different skeletons rigs for the mobile cosmetics, which means they have to go in for each one and re-rig them. This is a guess obviously, and not necessarily a year's worth of work, but that might just be how they're prioritizing it. Licensing issues would also make sense though.

On how long it takes to make a killer, since there’s 4 releases in a year they likely have several small teams broken up working on several killers at a time, rather than one big one all working on one killer. This way if one doesn’t work out by a certain point in the release cycle there is another one that might be ready or close to ready.

OH THAT WAS THE ORIGIN OF THAT RECORDING. (We still need the remixed version)

This AMA is just straight up telling us they dont play the fucking game

For custom Moris, I imagine there are multiple problems. Firstly we don't know if the infrastructure of the mori system in the game would conveniently allow you to load another mori animation, though this probably isn't too hard to code (though spaghetti code won't make it easy) it would need to be done first before any custom moris are added. They would also have to add another panel to the store. Another thing is the mori animation length. They probably don't want any in game moris to have different lengths as that could result in pay to win cosmetics (which they like to pretend to avoid) so either every mori would have to be the same length (by timing the animation or just having the killer stand still for a second) or they are waiting to implement the finisher mori system.

I love how they say they don't have time to work on much between DLC release windows. Too busy chasing money to fix huge. long standing issues in the game. Never change BHVR. Also how does it take a year to make a single killer if they release 4 of them every year? Along with survivors, maps, perks etc.

Imo, Unbreakable basekit _cannot_ be in the base game as it was showcased in that nightmarish ptb. However, it _could_ be implemented healthily by making it so that "basekit Unbreakable" activates _only_ when there are either two Survivors remaining _or_ every remaining Survivor is downed/hooked in order to both prevent toxicity/holding the game hostage for 4 minutes and make Killers just _end the games already_ instead of just feverishly slugging for the 4k.

If slugged for more then 2 minutes you get up once for free.

I wonder if part of the reason they "dont have the resources" out of no where, is due to some sort of trademark deal. Like hypothetical here.. But lets say they suddenly got the rights for Chuckie, BUT its contingent on the chapter dropping alongside the release of a show or movie. So instead of a year, now they have 4 months. This could also factor into the 1yr quote of developing killers. Killer A gets pushed back and paused so that they can redirect resources to the license. Thus making the average longer

they’ve been requesting new gamemodes since i was in high school and i graduated 4 years ago 😭 the summer bbq and the pustula event were my favorites 😭

25:37, GGG have said that while they release patches in 3 month cycles they do work on them for about a year before they release.

36:03 As someone who plays for honor much more than DBD now, I'd love to see Scott try the game. Not sure if he's played it in the best but it's surely much different than when he played the game

its a lot faster if you have a small team for creation of a singular character. if the same person knows exactly how they want it they can do the art, program around that, and playtest immediately. but this is mainly because you skip the confirmation and just go through it, because you yourself are the one in charge of the project and not have to cater to investors or un-invested ceo's. mistakes are the main thing that slows down production, and if the people in charge aren't good in terms of creating feedback for all the teams, releases tend to slow down heavily from lack of communication.

no wonder things are taking for ever to get fixed. they are actively learning and addressing almost every single issue that was mentioned

I remember the Granblue game having some development issues with DLC characters because the publisher wanted characters to release concurrently with the gacha game but didn't realize how long it takes for a fighting game character to be made.

If BHVR has 809 employees, and the vast majority of these are "The Dead by Daylight team is aware of this issue and we are looking into it but we can't give any concrete details as of right now," what ARE they working on? Everything is "backlog" or "looking into it", so what is this massive team working on? I know some of them are working on new upcoming killers, maps, and survivors, but... oh my god over 800 employees and they have to give an ETA of "Later this year or next year" for an FOV slider. It's... it's an FOV slider! Or how many other super basic things? How long did it take for them to add a search bar for perks (that doesn't even work how it should! It should just stay in the box instead of opening a completely new box to type!) I know things are more complicated than we know, but it baffles me how little seems to get done with a company with that many people.

Suggestion: make the "DbD answer" sub-follow sound for the anniversary.

Coding and animating something usually goes very fast. The stuff that takes the longest is collecting data, developing a concept and evaluating it. Because of BHVRs secretive nature the data collection process could actually take several months if its done just by a few people, bigger studios have whole data analysis departements who are searching in the internet for potential ideas non stop. The process could be much faster if the devs would just do public surveys about new killer designs, but even this would take quite a time to analyse all data. Bigger companies also have more or less strict schemes of how to design content and thats the reason all CODs, Assassins Creeds etc. are pretty similar to the previous titles.

If they remember about him they'll definitely nerf Tombstone. Is that what you want?

7:00 no it's not, For Honor bypasses this by making dismemberment and blood completely disableable and they have this option locked in those regions that would be affected by it.

This is great content

On the case of Puppers, uped the rarity of the Charm to highest, its fkin buried with all other all uncommon charms.

for the whole "it takes a year to make a killer" thing it's worth keeping in mind that they're working on multiple killers at one time and acquiring licenses probably takes a significant amount of time.

Halo Reach had some fine hitboxes. You fire a rocket between someone’s legs and it would go right through.

to explain why mobil cosmetic take time to be import on the PC/consol version is because the code of the both game is not the same. The team have to do everyting a second time

I think that this entire situation is another step in the right direction. They're GETTING there. There's still....you know... behavior things. Then there's the excessive PR talk (which i'd honestly take over them promising things they might not be able to deliver) but overall I think it's mostly good news. If they continue doing these types of Q&A's and things like them (like community surveys) and actually use that info to direct the direction they should go in terms of priorities they could turn the ship around for the game. Obviously a lot of frustrating BHVR-esque tropes made their way in (they really did trapper dirty) but they DID reveal a few new upcoming things that we didn't know about. I think there's some good some bad. Which seems to be the theme for BHVR the past year or two. They get some things right and some things bad (sometimes the bad is more often but sometimes not) and honestly compared to what was basically "all of the worst changes you could possibly imagine and then one decent/really good update a year" I'll honestly take it. They're learning. SLOWLY (So fucking slowly) but they ARE learning.

59:28 that made me spill over my coffee lmao

Disagree on "Demogorgon is humanoid"; humanoid means more then just "bipedal". How gangly his limbs are, how he can effectively crawl on all fours, the petal mouth, the claws, the skin, etc. His biology is bizarre enough to break the humanoid mold I feel. I agree the line is blurry though This is also the dumbest thing to talk about from this video lolmao

I wish you would've commented on the FOV changes at least since its been a hot topic on the subreddit lately given all the quality of life and accessibility updates survivors have gotten. 46:00

I assume they count like , brainstorming multiple killer ideas and debating which one to pick next in that too? FOUR YEARS

I do think a form of Unbreakable should be in the game, but first they need to address the hook shortage on some maps. For example, main in Borgo there's a corner where if you have Boil Over, impossible to be hooked unless the Killer has Iron Grasp and/or Agitation. School in Badham, unless the basement spawns in there impossible to be hooked unless killer has Iron Grasp/Agitation. Garden of Joy has a general hook shortage and they're in annoying locations. Some maps like Red Forest have multiple locations where if a hook is saboed you can't get to another hook fast enough. Saboing should never in my opinion make it impossible to hook unless the killer already traveled a bit to get there, it should be a time wasting mechanic and a tool to force the killer to go to a different spot (A hook further away from the gen people are working on for example) these issues need to be addressed before Unbreakable can be basekit.

See that is just so retarded because when I play killer, there seems to be no hooks anywhere for example when I've been on midwhich legit there was only 2 hooks 1 at the end of a hallway and the other around the corner. As survivor I've seen like 2 hooks in each hallway and on other maps you can legit hook all 4 survivors on one side of the map which shouldn't be possible, there definitely should be a balance, not a shortage and definitely not a map overloaded with hooks

They could allow you to pick up yourself if you're the first survivor to be slugged and rest are dead/on hook Basically like adrenaline when hatch closes. Or how pinhead chainhunt is disabled if you're last survivor standing.

About porting skins, League of Legends has had that issue for ages, having updated models in Legends or Runeterra and Wild Rift while in League they haven't been updated since game came out over a decade ago.

js i made a whole killer idea in 20 minutes on the toilet, the fact it takes them a year is mind blowing.

I disagree with custom moris being a huge money maker and I can see why they would be hesitant to allocate resources to the idea. What percentage of the player base actually play killer enough to want to spend money on moris? A lot of people don’t even buy cosmetics

Hour of scott my gfs pissed. More vids like this pls.

I’m wondering if the turnover of employees and miscommunication between teams are the reasons why characters like Haddie received such little care from the devs. From her perks to her design to her cosmetics, Haddie was set up to fail and even the devs had to eventually recognize that they dropped the ball on her. I can’t imagine any other substantial reasons why

Was there anything regarding cross progression cause ever since i moved to pc I have not touched the game even tho I own it because I do not want to grind and rebuy all the dlc I had

26:08 Yeah, I think you're actually underselling Bhvr here. Though a lot of what they pump out is questionable, the fact that we get a fully funtional, unique killer with new gameplay, perks, add-ons, etc every 3 months is actually pretty impressive IMO. Just coming up with the ideas and iterating on them with the design and art/concept and narrative teams can take months. Getting everything approved for production by various stakeholders can take forever. Actual hands-on-keyboard development time is probably closer to 6-8 months if I had to guess, (with a month or two of testing and bug fixing included in there), but there's a lot of other parts of the process that need to happen before that can even happen.

Regarding maps...I can't say for sure but my guess is that DbD's map generation is pretty rudimentary and probably doesn't actually have much tech overhead in regards to maintaining the overall system. I don't think they have to do a lot there when creating a new map, probably just copying an existing map or template and modifying the generation rulesets as needed. So most of the time spent if I had to guess is probably on art, and unlike design and programming, throwing more artists at something like a map is actually usually pretty efficient at speeding up development. It's also very possible they outsource some of their environment art assets

These game modes need to make it in asap. DST literally allows you to add EVERY event item/creature/event ever to your world when generating the world. You can even change it the next time you load in...

Another thing about adding puppers cosmetics to the game is that they don't want to add too much free content but they also know it would be wrong to monetize them

The lack of work on easy cash earners like custom moris is nuts to me. Crytek has like 270 something employees tops and not even all of those work on Hunt: Showdown and it feels like they’re way more responsive to community requests than BHVR while still developing the usual content. Same with For Honor like you mentioned.
