• His focus is making the game competitive and creating the platform for E-sports. He wants it to grow organically with community input.

• The game will be coming to consoles at some point

• Addresses problems/criticism with servers, says that net code needs to be fixed rather than spending money on better servers. They are also looking into the comparison between NA, EU, Oceanic servers and why some in the community are claiming some servers are ‘better’ than others. Even though they all run the same hardware etc.

• Upcoming client update increases client performance with some good gains (FPS)

• Zoning (Circles) in the game is RNG (Sorry, conspiracy theorists)

• Wants a learning curve for the game, or an entry barrier, this was done in response to a question about adding colour coding for Ammo

• Eastern European setting was chosen because of the dark, ‘brutalist’ architecture.

• The other maps will have different a feel to them with a desert map based in Peru, and another Island based in Yugoslavia/Adriatic sea with a different architectural feel. No timeline on maps  Started development 2-3 weeks ago. Hopefully to have maps in testable state in 6 months.

• Question about lore of PUBG- Apparently there was some lore created about the island for the Art team to help make the island but sees lore as not important for the gameplay etc. Its just abandoned island where the battle royale takes place.

• Is asked about a single player campaign, and if he has any interest in that. Responds with an idea about a military occupation on the island where you and four friends attempt to re-take the island by capturing each town one by one. This is just an idea and has no real place in the games development right now.

• For those folks hoping for a movie adaptation, nothing on the horizon at the moment

• 100% cosmetic loot boxes, mentions the CS:GO loot box system, and likes the fact that a player can be rewarded for playing the game. A skin economy is great for the game in the long run.

• Follow up question about wacky clothes/skins. Wants to keep them as realistic as possible in-line with the games setting/aesthetic

• How do you keep players around? Currently working on a 2D and 3D replay system so players can re-watch entire matches in the game world and create their own content. Records the whole match etc. No ETA but within a few months possibly.

• They have a plan to add mod support. They want to create a platform for different game modes, and don’t want to restrict players to the game modes devs think we will like.
