Dr Kay Ross talking about Odyssey Planetary Tech livestream - Quick Summary Notes

[Rat Catcher]

But remember they have to test, at least basically, the approach they chose is robust enough for lava planets or earth type, this is the third time they rebuilt the terrain system. So just because they work on them doesn't mean they are anywhere near production ready or coming any time.

Indeed so.

Great stream - good job Art, Bruce and most especially Dr.Kay! More like this please!
Just one thing - already got the purple paint jobs from the last Twitch drops stream. Can those of us who already got drops get a different colour?

 

[Viajero]

This was a bit more like "These first ones, coming in Odyssey..." which I thought was suggestive.

Indeed I think those were the exact words or almost but in a different moment of the stream. Also, the comment captured by @StuartGT in the OP

But with Odyssey and whatever comes next...

Also I believe it was heard:

"whatever comes after Odyssey"; "whatever types of worlds"

We may need to find the exact moments and clip it to be sure...

 

[Sysmon]

Good to see some long-term forward planning!

'Crustal action' makes me feel dirty yet hungry at the same time

THE original 'Kumo Pie'... only the best ingredients used! ............... ............sorry meant

 

[StuartGT]

Stuart, at about 36 mins (total stream time, ie including the pre-stream), Arthur was talking about having seen a trailer. I might have mis-interpreted what he meant. Was/is there a new trailer?

He's talking about the first trailers and dev diaries there, but he also does say they (CMs, marketing?) are working on a project to come soon, so I guess that will be a new Dev Diary and/or trailer.

A nice live checklist for NASA's Mars mission .. for info
(Cruise Stage Separation complete, approaching entry interface momentarily)

Mars 2020: Perseverance Rover - NASA Science

NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover seeks signs of ancient life and collects samples of rock and regolith for possible Earth return.

So looking at the first images from engineering cameras on the rover .. it look like Dr Kay was right!

"Beyond whatever comes next for Odyssey"

So did we learn anything new?

So did we learn anything new?

Lots, worth watching....

 

[Sysmon]

So did we learn anything new?

We learned that the hype is real.

[Marcus]

It was a really good stream, they could quite easily do many more hour long streams and Dr Ross would never run out of details to talk about.

 

[Old Duck]

Lots, worth watching....

Were there new pictures / videos from in-game footage?

There was some nice footage of Dr Ross trying to get a word in over Arf's rambles.

EDIT: I'm not sure any of the images of planet surfaces were new. The stream was mostly tech talk, and very interesting.

 

[Rat Catcher]

Were there new pictures / videos from in-game footage?

No - but I could listen to Dr Ross for much longer.
No mention of when - but so much of what.

I’m a total fanboi when it comes to Dr Ross. Whatever issues, bugs and personal grievances there may be or I may have with the game ebb away the moment she discusses her (and her teams) work.

I‘ve no great pull towards fps games these days but tonight alone was enough to make me want to buy Odyssey, I’d be quite happy just flying over some of these new landscapes or driving around them in an SRV. Add to what I’ve already seen and hearing her, unintended(?) suggestion of things to come - I’m in.

Anyway, I’m off for the rest of the evening as I need to lie down whilst I recover from a full on nerd-out (something my feeble non-science based mind is ill equipped for.)

Thank you @Kay Ross - hugely enjoyable and interesting.

 

[STARFIRE REVMEUP]

Modest weather effects on the planet CONFIRMED

She mentioned the dust blowing... maybe Dunes?

Just exploring and marvelling at the updated landscapes - and perhaps land on a few of the newly accessible planers - will be what I'll be doing when Odyssey lands. It's been a tradition of mine for every major update to ED to go exploring.

It's funny, I spend my days modelling infinitesimal parts of Earth in excruciating detail, Kay Ross and her team model the entire galaxy...
