(12/07 13:05:54) Claidi Song: ~~~~~~~~~~ Sad News ~~~~~~~~~~
(12/07 13:06:01) Claidi Song beckons you
(12/07 13:06:01) Claidi Song: We received sad news this week. Isa has information on this.
(12/07 13:06:15) Isa =^.^=: hi everyone
(12/07 13:06:31) Isa =^.^=: We received the unfortunate news that a beloved member of our community, Bella1, has passed on. Bella was a fun, enthusiastic, loving, and helpful friend. She was our impromptu DJ during nightly hood gatherings and in the city playing requests for anyone listening.
(12/07 13:06:45) Isa =^.^=: In that spirit of that, we would like to give everyone the opportunity to request a song, or a memory to be read, at the memorial music stream being held for Bella on the 10th of January (15ki-17ki) at the tree/stalagmite in Aegura.
(12/07 13:06:58) Isa =^.^=: Please pass along any requests, or memories, to me via ki mail #11584648 or on discord (isa.2167)
(12/07 13:06:59) shokhootahn Rehn is sad
(12/07 13:07:36) Calum Traveler gives a quiet thumbs up.
(12/07 13:07:38) Claidi Song: Any questions
(12/07 13:07:45) Quill: Will she be added to the Memorial Age?
(12/07 13:07:51) Claidi Song: Yes
(12/07 13:07:53) Isa =^.^=: we have passed on a bio to Doobes, yhes
(12/07 13:07:57) rarified: As soon as I get the update.

(12/07 13:08:15) Claidi Song: And to the pub memorial
(12/07 13:08:26) Claidi Song: I mean the one in Kahlo Pub

(12/07 13:08:29) Claidi Song: Thank you, Isa!
(12/07 13:08:41) Claidi Song: ~~~~~~~~~~ Mysterium ~~~~~~~~~~
(12/07 13:08:49) Claidi Song beckons you
(12/07 13:08:49) Claidi Song: Welcome to the stage, Calum!
(12/07 13:09:14) Calum Traveler: sorry eddie
(12/07 13:09:21) Dreamer3: Behave, Eddie!
(12/07 13:09:25) Claidi Song: Eddie, sit still
(12/07 13:09:34) shokhootahn Rehn: lol
(12/07 13:09:38) Calum Traveler: first off, I’d like to say: Thank You to everyone who came to the Emporium’s release yesterday
(12/07 13:09:52) rarified: Great event.
(12/07 13:09:59) *Jodok* nods his head
(12/07 13:10:01) shokhootahn Rehn: indeed
(12/07 13:10:03) Calum Traveler: we had a few mild KI-Chat bugs where some private DMs wound up dropped to age chat, and one annoying line jumper, but… beyond those OOC annoyances,
(12/07 13:10:07) Dreamer3: : – )
(12/07 13:10:15) Calum Traveler: The IC release went as smoothly as possible!
(12/07 13:10:15) Claidi Song: Wonderful new age!
(12/07 13:10:20) rarified: Did you ever catch them?
(12/07 13:10:28) Calum Traveler: i know who, but he’s a known troll, rarified
(12/07 13:10:35) Calum Traveler: i wont benefit his name for being publicized.
(12/07 13:10:44) Calum Traveler: its attention he wants. im not gonna give him the recognition he wnats.
(12/07 13:10:49) Maurus nods
(12/07 13:10:57) Dreamer3: Dang right
(12/07 13:11:08) *Jodok* applause
(12/07 13:11:26) rarified: Always something unpleasant in a cavern.
(12/07 13:11:37) Calum Traveler: id also like to say that the OOC technical side of the release went by absolutely smoothly as well
(12/07 13:11:41) Emrai: The Emporium is really well done. Kudos.
(12/07 13:11:42) Claidi Song: Not usually
(12/07 13:11:46) Calum Traveler: so on all fronts, we had a very successful release!
(12/07 13:11:56) jtrigg: A Grue most likely
(12/07 13:12:24) Calum Traveler: i’d like to also say, thanks for being patient with us for the very long wait for the update,
(12/07 13:12:36) Calum Traveler: i hope everyones been enjoying it,
(12/07 13:12:48) jtrigg thumbs up
(12/07 13:12:51) Calum Traveler: although, i am aware of a few minor bugs that slipped past us, i’m happy to report nothing game breaking made it in
(12/07 13:13:17) Calum Traveler: just a few minor visual gaffs and some collisions that need to be adjusted to be kickables only, I think 😉
(12/07 13:13:42) rarified thanks Calum Traveler for cataloging the issues
(12/07 13:14:06) Calum Traveler: all that said, the next quarter for the update has been opened, though nothing new has been pushed through *quite* yet, we are working on a few things that will probably come up in the new year
(12/07 13:14:25) Calum Traveler: for example, a few folks, such as myself and Tweek, are hoping to hold our first RAPID AGE DEVELOPMENT contest in January!
(12/07 13:14:37) Beachy: Where is everyone
(12/07 13:14:53) Beachy: Nvm I see
(12/07 13:14:57) Calum Traveler: the theme will be “Pod Age,” where we will provide aspiring age developers with a Pod Shell file either for .blender or .3dsmax,
(12/07 13:15:32) Calum Traveler: we’re not looking for anything MOULa ready, just a fun little way to spend some time.
(12/07 13:15:52) rarified: … and encourage new artists!
(12/07 13:15:56) Calum Traveler: the idea is to have folks who might want to dip their toes into age creation have a project they can work on!
(12/07 13:16:19) Calum Traveler: more information will be announced at a later date.
(12/07 13:16:28) Beachy: I am way too busy but I played around with blender a bit as a kid
(12/07 13:16:32) Calum Traveler: speaking of Dates!
(12/07 13:16:34) Calum Traveler: MYSTERIUM!
(12/07 13:16:46) Calum Traveler: you’re probably aware already, but incase you missed it
(12/07 13:16:58) Calum Traveler: the dates for the 2025 Mysterium is AUGUST 1st Through 3rd
(12/07 13:17:32) Calum Traveler: the writing and artwork table is open for submissions as well
(12/07 13:17:45) Calum Traveler: they will be accepting submissions until JULY 15TH
(12/07 13:18:13) Calum Traveler: finally, the current Mysterium Creativity Prompt theme is “Hearth” and will be accepting submissions until the end of December.
(12/07 13:18:25) Calum Traveler checks KI for the time…
(12/07 13:18:38) Calum Traveler: right then, I think that’s it for me
(12/07 13:18:40) Calum Traveler: any questions?
(12/07 13:18:57) Edua shrugs
(12/07 13:19:02) fayers leans left
(12/07 13:19:11) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue
(12/07 13:19:20) Calum Traveler: right then! I hope everyone has a happy December, and Happy Holidays!
(12/07 13:19:24) Calum Traveler bows
(12/07 13:19:29) Claidi Song: Thank you, Cal, the Mysterium report and much more!
(12/07 13:19:36) Calum Traveler: yw
(12/07 13:19:38) Claidi Song: ~~~~~~~~~ Explorer’s Emporium ~~~~~~~~~
(12/07 13:19:39) rarified looks forward to skiing in Serenne
(12/07 13:19:44) Claidi Song: In case anyone is unaware, there is a newly opened fan created Age here in MOULa.
(12/07 13:19:56) Claidi Song: We are very fortunate that the creator of “Explorers’ Emporium!” with us today to talk about creating her URU Ages.
(12/07 13:19:57) jtrigg: i’ll be sitting on the beach, having a few coldies
(12/07 13:20:02) Claidi Song beckons you
(12/07 13:20:02) Claidi Song: Welcome to the platform, Semjay!
(12/07 13:20:02) Dreamer3: Woot woot ! !
(12/07 13:20:22) *Jodok* aplause
(12/07 13:20:24) Claidi Song: Of course, there will be No Spoilers in the discussion.
(12/07 13:20:30) Claidi Song: I’m sure there will be questions for Semjay. To prevent total chaos:
(12/07 13:20:36) Claidi Song: Do Not put any questions in the public AGE PLAYERS chat.
(12/07 13:20:43) Claidi Song: Please, DM non-spoilery questions ave for Semjay to me. I will present all questions in the Q&A at the end of this interview.
(12/07 13:20:49) Claidi Song: Briefly stated questions, please.
(12/07 13:20:56) Claidi Song: Thank you very much for being here today, Semjay!
(12/07 13:21:06) Claidi Song: Starting off, Semjay,when and how did you discover MOULa?
(12/07 13:21:15) jtrigg: Nicely done Semjay
(12/07 13:21:19) Semjay: Thank you for having me, Claidi.
(12/07 13:21:36) Semjay: I played URU CC when it came out but couldn’t enter MOULa because we didn’t have the internet at home then. I missed all the “live” events and joined much later after the game restarted online.
(12/07 13:21:48) Claidi Song: What is your background in creating 3D environments?
(12/07 13:22:05) Semjay: My background is in the creative arts. I have no experience in computing, coding or 3D modelling – I am just an enthusiastic amateur.
(12/07 13:22:26) Claidi Song: When did you begin creating URU Ages?
(12/07 13:22:40) Semjay: 2015
(12/07 13:23:03) Claidi Song: You already have several Ages in the Deep Island shard. Including the age we know as “Explorers’ Emporium”. Please, tell us about those Ages and what the inspiration was for each of them.
(12/07 13:23:17) Semjay: Terahgrahm was my first attempt at Age-building. It was inspired by an Egyptian Temple dnd map. It’s a sandbox Age where I tried out different things. But I wanted to share it with others. Making it an URU Age was the perfect way to do this. But I do not intend bring this to MOULa.
(12/07 13:24:42) Semjay: Sorry, please wait
(12/07 13:26:08) Semjay: Zahlto is the early version of Explorers Emporium.
(12/07 13:26:21) Semjay: I overheard someone complaining that there were no shops in the Cavern so I decided to make that the starting point.
(12/07 13:26:45) Semjay: But, the shop itself is merely the “tutorial” area for the rest of the adventure. I had to make quite a few changes and compromises to make it suitable for multi-players in MOULa.
(12/07 13:27:00) Semjay: The version on Deep Island is how it was intended – as a single player experience.
(12/07 13:27:41) Semjay: Tovaht and Ahreesen Melim came next and are available to play on Deep Island. They both have the same puzzle that I “dressed up” differently. I am hoping that I can convert one or both of them for inclusion to MOULa soon…
(12/07 13:28:04) Calum Traveler is looking forwards to testing days…
(12/07 13:28:08) Claidi Song: Sounds wonderful!
(12/07 13:28:14) Claidi Song: Another of your ages is here in MOULa, as well as in Deep Island. Tell us about “Kalamee”, please.
(12/07 13:28:35) Dreamer3 nods his head
(12/07 13:28:46) Semjay: Kalamee is an Age from Cyan’s “Intangibles” collection of unfinished Ages.
(12/07 13:29:23) Semjay: There are actually two Kalamees :a long, linear valley and the small, q-shaped cwm that I finished off. At the time, I knew that someone else was working on the linear valley so I took the small one.
(12/07 13:29:50) Semjay: There is lots of concept art and documents about the linear valley and I was careful not to include anything from them in my version of Kalamee.
(12/07 13:30:05) Prad: I remember the long linear from some concept art design documents …
(12/07 13:30:18) Semjay: This meant that I was able to go my own way with it, put in my own story and puzzles.
(12/07 13:30:26) Yali: I remember a big tortoise shell like hut structure
(12/07 13:30:51) Semjay: In fact, I took the model and deleted about 80 percent of it and rebuilt it! The only things remaining that were made by Cyan are the lumpy hills, the pointy obelisks, the crumpety trees, the DRC landing pad and the animals.
(12/07 13:31:32) Claidi Song: That is a lot of work! A major element of Cyan’s games is environmental storytelling. You are exceptional at creating environments that tell their story without need for explanations. How do you design the details of your environments to tell their story? What are the challenges in crafting environmental storytelling?
(12/07 13:32:14) Semjay: For me, the story is always character driven – put someone in a strange environment and see what happens. I like to keep things a bit vague, for example, my characters Sam and Pip – are they male or female? Friends? Lovers? Have they ever actually met? (They seem to communicate via post-it notes!) U R U so YOU decide. I am also mindful of people who play the game but don’t speak English at home so I try to have as little written text as possible and keep it visual if I can.
(12/07 13:33:31) Claidi Song: You also incorporate puzzles in the environment that flow naturally with the story throughout the Age. How do you go about building puzzles into an Age that fits into and carries the storyline?
(12/07 13:33:41) Semjay: I create it in reverse. I think about the ending and then work out how the player will get there. What things will interrupt their journey? What will they need to know to get there?
(12/07 13:33:59) Claidi Song: Explorers’ Emporium has just opened here in the MOULa shard. I want to note that it will also soon be added to The Open Cave (TOC) shard which is now updated to the same version as MOULa. What was most challenging about preparing Explorers’ Emporium for MOULa?
(12/07 13:34:36) *Jodok*: it was added today (sorry for interruption)
(12/07 13:34:50) Semjay: Testing was tough! The testers’ first loyalty is to the game (of course) and they want it to be the best it possibly can. But they insisted that certain things were changed or removed and that was quite hard emotionally.
(12/07 13:35:09) Semjay: The most challenging thing was making it suitable for more than one player. The main puzzle had to be completely redesigned, while keeping it as close to the original as possible. This is because it was possible for your mischievous friend to lock a door, leave the game never to return, and you’d be unable to finish the puzzle.
(12/07 13:35:35) Claidi Song starts to laugh
(12/07 13:35:35) Claidi Song: I suspect we all have such ‘mischievous friends’ around.
(12/07 13:35:47) Claidi Song: Alright, time for Questions: Please, DM me your questions 🙂
(12/07 13:35:52) Claidi Song: Sestra sent her question to me earlier because she could not come to AGM: “Semjay, is there a new Relto Page in the Explorers’ Emporium? I saw Ella’s checklist included ordering them.”
(12/07 13:36:04) Semjay: No
(12/07 13:36:58) Prad: there is a method to graphically illustrate nonlinear puzzles to figure out ‘deadlock’ paths …
(12/07 13:36:58) Claidi Song: Q from oops I lost the name. Can the NW corner of room in basement be accessed?
(12/07 13:37:29) Semjay: The “red” room is closed for the moment.
(12/07 13:37:52) Maurus raises an eyebrow
(12/07 13:37:59) Claidi Song: Q from oops I lost the name. Can the NW corner of room in basement be accessed?
(12/07 13:38:06) Calum Traveler: repeated q >>;
(12/07 13:38:21) Claidi Song: Q from Caver 1: Can we have permission to explore past the No Entry Private sign?
(12/07 13:38:28) Edua is a bit puzzled…
(12/07 13:38:45) Semjay: U R U so you decide!
(12/07 13:38:54) Calum Traveler: some very polite explorers here, hehe.
(12/07 13:39:31) Claidi Song: Q from Quill: Is there any chance that there will someday be a public instance of the Emporium? A public 9-5 store would be fun. What was kept in the cages? Footprints a bit bear-like 🙂
(12/07 13:39:33) Maurus recalls the hint Yeesha gave about Gahreesen
(12/07 13:39:40) Dreamer3: Woody Guthrie said he saw a sign that said no trespassing, but on the other side it didn’t say anything
(12/07 13:39:50) fayers: Will we be able to get new KI band and Tshirts soon
(12/07 13:40:00) Beachy: Nice reference Dreqmer
(12/07 13:40:06) Claidi Song: Hold on everyone
(12/07 13:40:06) Beachy: Dreamer
(12/07 13:40:31) Claidi Song: Q from Philipgr: Whate is “cwm”?
(12/07 13:40:43) Semjay: The old version (called Zahlto) will remain on Deep Island.
(12/07 13:41:38) Semjay: A cwm (pronounced coom) is the head of a glaciated valley.
(12/07 13:41:50) neurovac: a ‘cwm’ is Welsh for a type of valley
(12/07 13:42:05) Claidi Song: Rarified: My card we rejected
(12/07 13:42:14) Claidi Song: What can I do?
(12/07 13:43:02) Claidi Song: Maybe you shouldn’t use a Monoply card
(12/07 13:43:10) shokhootahn Rehn roars with laughter
(12/07 13:43:12) rarified: 😛
(12/07 13:43:16) *Jodok* starts to laugh
(12/07 13:43:32) jtrigg: Go to jail, go directly to jail ……..
(12/07 13:43:34) Dreamer3: lol
(12/07 13:43:39) Claidi Song: Q from Cid: Wax there an answer to Quill’s question about a public instance?
(12/07 13:43:47) shokhootahn Rehn hands rarified a pradnureetee
(12/07 13:44:01) Claidi Song: *Was
(12/07 13:44:06) Prad: c’glaciated valley’ reminds on another project in the making (according to a mysterium panel): Venalem.
(12/07 13:44:15) Semjay: You can share your book.
(12/07 13:44:38) Claidi Song: Yes, and there will be Mir-o-Bot for events
(12/07 13:44:54) Claidi Song: Alright, 2 questions more, anyone?
(12/07 13:45:32) caver1: Trespassing is wrong. I will avoid trespassing.
(12/07 13:45:37) Calum Traveler: not a Q, but id just like to say, good job on the work, Semjay. 🙂
(12/07 13:45:51) Thumbs up from Karel
(12/07 13:45:52) Maurus: hear hear
(12/07 13:45:53) Semjay: Thank you!
(12/07 13:46:00) LividLiquid: Agreed!
(12/07 13:46:01) Calum Traveler: working things out for Co-Op is hard, but it was well worth it 🙂
(12/07 13:46:01) Claidi Song: Q: future relto page?
(12/07 13:46:10) Korov’ev: and good job on getting rid of the spiders 😉
(12/07 13:46:10) Claidi Song: Thank you so much, Semjay, for sharing your ages with us here in MOULa. Your time, creativity and effort is truly appreciated! Thankyou for sharing this insight into what is involved in your creation process. We are looking forward to your future fan age contributions.
(12/07 13:46:14) Cave woman: I assumed that aince the door is open we can enter
(12/07 13:46:16) Claidi Song: Everyone who hasn’t had a chance to explore Semjay’s newest age, Explorer’s Emporium, I guarantee you will love it. And also it is well worth exploring Semjay’s Deep Island ages !
(12/07 13:46:21) Claidi Song: Thank you again, Semjay!
(12/07 13:46:32) rarified: It is sharable, right?
(12/07 13:46:36) Claidi Song: ~~~~~~~~~~ Deep Island Expedition ~~~~~~~~~~
(12/07 13:46:38) Calum Traveler: it is sharable yes
(12/07 13:46:42) Claidi Song beckons you
(12/07 13:46:42) Claidi Song: Korov’ev has an announcement about a relevant excursion in Deep Island tomorrow.

I have refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top as a form of memorial. It’s why I haven’t posted pellet points above 168345: it was to keep her name at the top of the list.
