Paimon's Sharing Session #7

 

When passing by the conference room, Paimon heard a low voice saying "Paimon... emergency food... replenishing HP..." The devs must be having something good to eat! Paimon will need to take a peak... Arghhh!

 

#Intheworks

Q1: Can the blinding character SFX lighting be better optimized?

Paimon:Character combat SFX is also a key part of visual optimizations. Paimon will make sure developers pay more attention to it. *Nods*

 

Q2: I don't know how to get cooking ingredients. Take the Carrots, for example. The description says they can be found in the wild, but I didn't find any of them until the very last day. I believe the item description should include a hint on where the item can be found.

Paimon: Your passion for finding cooking ingredients burns as brightly as Paimon's passion for recipes! We will be sure to change the item descriptions to make it easier for all Travelers to find ingredients!

 

Q3: I think there should be more variety in NPCs — some young, some old, some fat, some skinny — not just beautiful people. The world of anime/manga can offer more character variety. More variety improves believability and decreases visual staleness.

Paimon: My young Traveler...
Who would you want to meet next? This beautiful NPC, this battle-worn NPC, or this fat NPC?
Since you're so honest, they shall all be yours!

 

#Underconsideration

Q4: Will there be VoIP functions in the game?

Paimon: Realtime communication with your friends in multiplayer surely sounds important... Hm! Paimon will put a Post-It on the dev team's wall!

 

#Notinplanning

Q5: I think the elements should be featured in every aspect of the game world, not just in combat scenarios, but also in people's interactions with the world around them in their daily lives.

Paimon: But... only the ones gifted with a Vision in Teyvat are able to channel the elements! Hm... Come to think of it, Travelers are indeed very special!

 

Q6: I'd like to see some NPCs hopping on rooftops and city walls, or NPCs using the glider out in the game world! (Amber said that the people of Mondstadt love using gliders, but no one is actually using them!)

Paimon: Well, no-one wants to use their gliders with Stormterror kicking up storms all the time! Paimon also hopes to see them gliding again soon!

 

Q7: Gimme first-person view!

Paimon: I see... (On the brink of passing out, all the devs could do is picking up yet another energy drink...)

 

Q8: Can more functions be added for Paimon? Like being able to assist in combat, pick up items... etc. Paimon should do more than just driving the story forward and roasting people.

Paimon: I remember someone said Paimon is... emergency food!?

 

Q9: More animations of interactions with the surrounding environment please! Opening/closing doors, gathering plants, cooking, dusting off after fallen from heights...etc.

Paimon: Good one! Paimon has noted this down! (Paimon thinks she can hear an animator crying somewhere in one of the offices...)
