Do This Stream Format Again

The monthly streams are here to update fans and supporters on the progress the studio makes. They are the 'action' of the studios stated culture of 'transparency'. I feel this months stream did this effectively and in many ways fits the current stage of development. The game is now at a place where many pieces are moving at once and it can be easy for players to lose track of just how much work is going on behind the scenes at once. Almost every topic about the games design has been explained and touched on at length. Getting a feel for a handful of the teams that are in major progress every now and then would be a great use of these streams time. In other words, variety, not depth, serves the goal of transparency best in this moment of the games development.

It may be a bit harder to wrangle people, but I think the format you had for the July 2025 stream was excellent. It felt clean, it felt like no topic lingered for too long, and most importantly it felt very in character for Intrepid. I feel like the streams benefit from hearing the many voices at Intrepid speak about how they are feeling about the progress of things and gives us the peak needed to really understand where the studio is at. It serves as a great tool. Maybe not every month, but it'd be great if you used this format more often.

Obviously I'm super biased due to my experience as a tech/software team lead, but this stream felt so comfortable.

If this is in any way less effort or stress on the Devs, especially those who appear on the stream, perfect.

Nice to meet Hector, I wish I had him for my own QA but if he must be somewhere other than that lol I'm super glad that he's where he is, for anyone who doesn't know (again, massive bias) that's exactly who you want in that spot to work with and support the QA team, especially one of that size. Felt just like talking to 'J'.

I'm sure there will be a separate feedback thing thread about the aspects of the stream's content, but this format continues to be great.

The stream format improved before this one when a wider group of players entered testing in A2 and Devs were placed more front and center to swat questions and explain issues.

Too many prior streams with just Steven and Margaret often resembled a commercial for the game with Margaret lobbing up soft questions for Steven and lot of repetition of design principles. That was fun to a point, but even as an optimistic aficionado of all things Ashes thus far, it was wearing a bit thin. We needed to move from promises of what they could do, to what they are doing now and how are they fixing issues.

The trend needs to continue. Streamwatchers have already bought in to the possibility of what this game could be. No hard sell tactics needed. So when the Devs speak, let them dive deep and let them finish. Don't interrupt.

Better to have it once it's ready, right? Rather than half-done?
