Intrepid Studios did their July 2022 update on Ashes of Creation and there was a lot in it. They included new previews of the Desert Biome, The Empyreans, Ren’kai and the Tulnar reveal. They also spent a lot of time talking about Landform, their new Unreal Engine 5 tool that allows the artists to create directly inside of the engine instead of having to constantly rework and then re-import from 3rd party programs. I highly recommend watching the entire segment with Steven and the artists where they are talking about Landform as it has more than just impacts on Ashes of Creation.
The big talking points for this live stream are:
What do you think of the Tulnar reveal?
Do you think the new Ren’kai direction is too cartoony?
What do you think about what they showed off of the desert biome and the scorpion raid boss?

In my opinion, Landform was glanced over by the community and didn't get all the recognition it deserved. It seemed like people payed much more attention to the Tulnar reveal and Ren'Kai orc direction changes. Great video as always, keep it up
Even though the Monster Coin monster has assignments doesn't necessarily mean they can't attack other targets; so if someone is determined to destroy a certain building there may not be anything to prevent it.
Just a question… with the looting rules, completed items can not be looted. If the caravans system alow it, will they be changing the rules on completed items heading to auction now being lootable, or will they be safe? Or possibly get deleted when the caravan is destroyed. Please include this topic in you upcomming Caravan Video Series if you can work it in… Thanks
This stream just blew me away…only way it could have been better if Steven would have shown us the new world map with its changes.
I was VERY surprised he showed is the Tulnar…I thought for sure thst wouldn't be done until wayyyyy down the line.
Personally, I think Alpha 2 is alot closer than many people think. Especially since he said it will be an going process and new stuff will be uploaded as it comes online. I think all the concepts including the orcs now fit within the world and have a very distinctive cohesion that was missing before. I'll go to my grave saying Steven had the wood elves redesigned at the last minute because of the welcomed love for the Vek. 🙂
Intrepid's Tool First approach makes it possible to slingshot past expectations as content can be created and refined much more quickly.
I’m glad they are taking their time and integrating new tech, I want ashes to feel next gen AND unique
I like the new Renkai way more than the old ones personally, I really like the more asian appearance they have though I hope I can still make a buff female Renkai. The Tulnar I was not a fan of but they are still very early designs, do like the new elf concept art as well but I felt they was overshadowed by everything else shown sadly
oh god no global cooldown please
Good recap of the stream. but I think you made a mistake at the start of the video, alpha2 will not be feature complete beta-testing will be…
I still don't understand why the monster coin event is even a thing planned for launch. When I think about what it is, it just seems like it could be content they add later on for events. I'm just having a hard time understanding its purpose. Maybe to add a bit of fun and increase the difficulty of these monster invasions?
I think they are purposely moving Orcs away from the Warhammer type Orcs in favor of a Far East theme for their culture. Getting a Klingon honor and battle vibe too although not sure why. Likely, they are trying to get away from the stereotype barbarian orc to give a more disciplined and refined warrior feel similar to Samurai and the code of Bushido.
Don't get me wrong seeing the character art is cool and all but what really gets my hype level to 10 is the systems, zones, mobs, UI and so on that appears to be in an alpha 2 ready state. Seeing their new design tool in action is pretty sweet as well. The speed and quality at which they can work now is mind blowing.
I doubt we'll get alpha 2 this year but I'm hoping we'll get some spot tests sometime in q4. I'm assuming they'll want to do at least 2-3 months of spot testing under a very strict NDA to get the wrinkles out before allowing the general public to see it.
He did say beta is intended to be feature complete, didn't he? A2 might not be, and probably won't be i guess.
I was hoping Tulnar were going to be so kind of "Dark" race since ashes doesn't have on aka Dark elfs, Undead and stuff like that.
sadly no insect thulnar 😢
I have a big dream about AOC: that in the future it reaches a point where all the basic features and game systems are well polished and devs can focus on making the world bigger and bigger and bigger with new zones and new exotic biomes /fauna/monsters/ new nodes…
When we reach that point where Vera is huge this game will be inmersive AF.
Its gonna be beautiful
thanks again for the stream recap and breakdown big J
