Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.06,0:01:28.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris R: It's pretty awesome,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.67,0:01:32.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because we're finally getting to see the teams actually work on the spaceships,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.23,0:01:37.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the concept phase is always the most interesting part of it.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.43,0:01:42.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We're also seeing these designs for the first time during the show.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.43,0:01:44.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In the past when we went through all the submissions,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.68,0:01:47.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we of course had to look at all the submissions, so we already gave our thoughts,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.67,0:01:53.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so we'd seen them, and now we discover the concept work as we're watching it.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.16,0:01:56.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's actually pretty interesting.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.10,0:01:59.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So yeah, it's fun and I'm looking forward to seeing what we see in this episode.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.29,0:02:02.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris O: It's a lot more exciting now that we're seeing the whole ship instead of just a weapon.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.53,0:02:03.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a whole new ball of wax.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.97,0:02:05.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris S: There's a lot of promise so far, too.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.84,0:02:08.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sandi: Alright, guys. So, we're going to see five teams today.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.36,0:02:12.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Three of the teams are going to go through, and two of the teams are going to go into the Save Pool.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.65,0:02:18.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And they all got the mercenary gunship specs. Let's check those out.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.98,0:02:33.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Alright, guys. A lot's at stake. Are we ready, excited?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.82,0:02:37.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris S: Let's do this. I'm ready. Chris O: Ready and excited.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.32,0:02:40.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sandi: Okay. Let's roll the first video.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.60,0:02:53.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Shimapan: When we first received our design brief for the competition,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.61,0:02:56.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the first thing I thought about immediately was the Mi-24 Hind,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.76,0:02:59.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because of its very similar role in history.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.43,0:03:02.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we started off with that and then we branched off.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.58,0:03:06.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We want to give the turrets as wide of a firing arc as possible,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.60,0:03:13.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I tried to put them in a location on the ship where they had almost full hemispherical views -
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.50,0:03:19.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from the ship partition. We thought also that it would be cool to have a drop pod that could detach -
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.94,0:03:23.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and basically allow the ship to drop off the drop pod without slowing down.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.68,0:03:28.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Into the workflow, I did some ink sketches initially, then I did some drawing to Photoshop,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.54,0:03:33.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then I passed it back and forth between my team and I,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.20,0:03:40.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and after that I did a detailed paint over it trying to figure out what the final shape layout is going to be.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.96,0:03:43.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But we still had some issues with the shape,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.10,0:03:45.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we had some design things that we weren't really happy about.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.69,0:03:49.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I think it wasn't until the concept art when we finally figured out -
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.91,0:03:52.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what kind of engine configuration we wanted. So that was one thing.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.86,0:03:56.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We put together our final issue on iteration 1 of our concepts.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.15,0:04:00.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I really enjoyed the judges' feedback from last week. I just thought I'd let you know that.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.10,0:04:04.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we hope to see you in the next part of the competition.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.33,0:04:06.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris S: There was a little...
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.78,0:04:08.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris O: I don't have anything to curl. Chris R: That's not working. You can't do it...
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.85,0:04:09.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris O: What do you want me to curl?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.98,0:04:11.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sandi: Look, he doesn't need to curl.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.85,0:04:13.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris R: He doesn't curl water bottles.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.69,0:04:15.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Mark: Those are for wussies...
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.66,0:04:17.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sandi: Chris Smith, what did you think?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.55,0:04:20.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris S: So, I thought this was actually really good.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.33,0:04:25.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The design of the ship was cool. I thought everything - it seemed it was laid out pretty cool.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.01,0:04:31.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They had the two turrets; it looked like they have thruster placement in the right spots.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.44,0:04:38.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There was a diagram with a lot of little detail bits, which I wasn't able to read at this point...
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.17,0:04:44.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It looked like it was very well thought out, and I thought the design was pretty cool.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.32,0:04:49.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris O: The only negative - it's a little bit, I think, over exaggerated in some places.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.42,0:04:53.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think they can just tone it down as far as the boldness of some of it,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.52,0:04:56.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but overall it's just beautiful presentation and really nice design.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.96,0:04:58.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris R: I'm actually super impressed.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.37,0:05:04.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's my favorite one to date, so far, of the concepts that we've had.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.17,0:05:09.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm impressed. They've only had, I think, 19 days from when we told them what the specs to do that.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.76,0:05:13.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I sort of like the feel of it. The rendering style was really nice.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.47,0:05:19.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'd like to study some of this stuff a bit more, because I didn't see the front thrusters so much.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.73,0:05:22.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I could see the back end, just how they would articulate...
Dialogue: 0,0:05:22.47,0:05:24.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris S: There was one on the nose, like, on the top.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.36,0:05:26.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris S: But yeah, I agree. Chris R: Yeah. So, I'd have to look to see if that was in there.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.75,0:05:31.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There was... The two manned turrets, although the one on the bottom was sort of flushed in there.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.21,0:05:33.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Pretty damn impressive. They get my vote so far.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.21,0:05:35.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sandi: Alright. Thumbs up from the "Chris couch". What did you think?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.69,0:05:41.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Dave: I liked it a lot, too. I thought it was a kind of a daring design.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.50,0:05:46.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A little bit of Bird of Prey with the forward swept wings extending from the rear -
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.48,0:05:49.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the main fuselage, coming forward.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.72,0:05:54.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a bit of an ugly duckling in a way, but I like that about that,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:54.57,0:05:58.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because some of these things aren't attractive from the get-go...
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.21,0:06:03.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They're very purpose built and things are added on and compartmentalized, and I like that.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.44,0:06:09.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It gave it a robust sort of feel. There are a lot of WW2 aircraft that aren't the sexiest things,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:09.19,0:06:14.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or the most streamlined, but they look like they can take care of the business.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:14.24,0:06:15.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris S: They grow on to you.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:15.35,0:06:20.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Dave: Yeah, exactly. They have a character of their own, and they {\i1}become{\i0} cool.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:20.21,0:06:22.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I feel that this really has that potential.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:22.36,0:06:25.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I liked a lot of the surfacing, though I felt that there was almost too much,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:25.92,0:06:30.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it felt a few pieces needed to be unified to move the eye around.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.32,0:06:33.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But other than that I thought {\i1}fantastic job{\i0}.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:33.77,0:06:39.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Maybe just refine a few of the motifs and the exhaust, and intakes, and other things like that...
Dialogue: 0,0:06:39.83,0:06:41.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris R: And I think of those...
Dialogue: 0,0:06:41.89,0:06:47.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'd like to see maybe a little more insight or detail on how some of the pieces work.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:47.69,0:06:51.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was mentioning the turrets - they look kind of flush.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:52.30,0:06:56.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How can I get a field of fire? Are they going to get in the way of other things?
Dialogue: 0,0:06:56.83,0:06:59.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Where are the landing gear? How does that deploy when you land?
Dialogue: 0,0:06:59.59,0:07:00.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just that kind of stuff.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:00.69,0:07:02.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris S: Perhaps, once they do a pre-viz on the 3D,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:02.54,0:07:05.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they could do a little block-out animation that could be fleshed out a little bit.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:05.53,0:07:07.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris R: Yeah, but it's sort of super cool for me.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:07.90,0:07:10.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Dave: The turret behind the rear cockpit -
Dialogue: 0,0:07:10.32,0:07:14.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it seems like some of the muzzle flash would be right over your head,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:14.91,0:07:21.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so some little shielding there that maybe... The other rear guy doesn't need as much observability, but...
Dialogue: 0,0:07:21.16,0:07:25.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Mark: I like the broken neck. Like you're saying, it's kind of the ugly duckling,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:25.40,0:07:28.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but that makes me want to love it more.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:28.20,0:07:29.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Dave: Yeah.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:29.13,0:07:31.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Mark: You know. And I like the big engines.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:31.39,0:07:36.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They look like if you were standing in front of those things, you'd get sucked right in them and tore up.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:36.80,0:07:40.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Like, those things are huge. The paint job was really nice, too.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:40.19,0:07:41.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris S: Yeah. It had some good variation options.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:41.86,0:07:44.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Mark: Yeah. I liked the variation in it.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:44.78,0:07:50.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yeah - it was weighted really nice, and it feels like in the back it's a nice chunk of ship.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:50.27,0:07:57.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then you've got the neck that comes down, which just had a nice flow to it.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:57.24,0:08:01.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The detachable thing in the back, I haven't really seen that before.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:01.28,0:08:03.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris S: Yeah, it's kind of split up in the middle.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:03.31,0:08:10.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Mark: That's very interesting. I'd like to see more, maybe a block-out of that... How it would animate.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:10.19,0:08:13.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Like, {\i1}click, click{\i0}, things popping off and then it detaching.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:13.96,0:08:17.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris O: It seems like that's a sort of general theme of what we'd like to see more of. Stuff like that.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:17.46,0:08:19.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris R: Yeah, we want to see more on the concept stage,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:19.84,0:08:22.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where we understand how the functionality works.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:22.12,0:08:26.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because I definitely even know on our internal development...
Dialogue: 0,0:08:26.45,0:08:31.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Our first stuff, we were designing it and going "oh yeah, that's cool," and then we get it in to the game,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:31.19,0:08:33.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we're like "alright, how do you get in the ship?"
Dialogue: 0,0:08:33.73,0:08:36.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or how do you see in the cockpit, or how the thrusters work.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:36.51,0:08:42.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So now we're very focused on not just the form of it, but the function of it.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:42.72,0:08:45.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's different than games I've done in the past, where you could sort of cheat it.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:45.71,0:08:51.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In this one we sort of have to do the industrial design up front as well as the actual beauty design,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:51.52,0:08:52.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so to speak.

Dialogue: 0,0:09:07.71,0:09:14.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because the parameters were such that the dropship had to go through deeper atmosphere,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:14.14,0:09:18.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and land, obviously. So I thought it's going to have to conform to some kind of aerodynamics,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:18.52,0:09:22.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and dependent on what kind of planet it's going to be landing on.

Dialogue: 0,0:09:50.94,0:09:56.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the reason why is because it has these praying mantis style arms that unfold from the side,

Dialogue: 0,0:12:10.59,0:12:15.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but not particularly a great design for something that's in space.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:15.88,0:12:23.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Also, size wise feels too small for what the spec is. It should be carrying about 15 tonnes of cargo.

Dialogue: 0,0:12:28.58,0:12:30.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the other one was sort of an auto-turret on the side,
Dialogue: 0,0:12:30.63,0:12:33.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I'm assuming there'd be one on the other side.

Dialogue: 0,0:13:45.92,0:13:49.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris S: I agree. It seemed like it was like a half of a ship.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:49.05,0:13:52.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was sort of the front and then it needed like a bigger back.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:52.22,0:13:56.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And yeah, it was probably too small for the specs that we have.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:56.06,0:14:04.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I did like that sleek design. It reminded of like some sort of automotive design, like, futuristic,

Dialogue: 0,0:14:07.86,0:14:12.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I actually do like it sort of hidden, and then the turret pops out, and then the other things pop out.

Dialogue: 0,0:14:16.19,0:14:24.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris S: Seems like it needs some more. There is a little bit that it needs to push it that extra inch.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:24.70,0:14:27.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sandi: Alright. So it sounds like brownie points for a bold design,
Dialogue: 0,0:14:27.56,0:14:32.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and maybe some work in creating more mass and sculpt for it.
