Q. Will the tree of life return?
Q. Won't Tree of Life be further developed?
A. We're making a sequel of Tree of Life.
Q. Is the sneak peek about oddria or about tree of life?
Q. Is the sneak peek the future tree of life?
A. The game design is based on the Tree of Life. Engine, Actions, and some code are from Oddria.
Q. In the "sneak peek" will we have something like we had in the 2015 Tree of Life?
A. Tree of Life in 2015 was the best Tree of Life we could ever think of. The new project is based on that version.
Q. We will have how many servers and for which regions.
A. There will be around 10 official servers. Since the new project supports community servers (unofficial), the number of servers seems to be flexible depending on the number of players. About 100 players per server will be able to play the game simultaneously.
Q. Was it a sandbox game?
A. Yes. It is a sandbox game with survival elements.
Q. Will this new project be focused on pvp or pve?
A. Depending on the server, PVP and PVE rule sets can be selected. The PVP server will be similar to the 2015 Tree of Life. The PVE server will be suitable for players who want to explore the world alone.
Q. Will the bases be seen on the map as it is today in Tree of Life?
A. In current version, the player's base is not displayed on the map.
Q. Will we have the faction system?
A. No. There will be no faction system.
Q. Will we finally have the guitar in the game?
A. Yes. The guitar finally includes the game content.
Actually, I have a lot to say about the guitar... In short, I learned that it's not a good idea to postpone a patch to try something perfect. (Done is better than perfect. right?)
Q. Can we steal bases?
A. You can steal bases in PVP Servers.
Q. Will we have guild hall again?
A. There is no exact building called 'Guild Hall' in the game.
However, if you want, you can create a guild hall through a new building system.
Q. Will the skills work in the game?
A. Now you can level up to earn skill points and learn the skills you want. Learning a skill gives you new recipes or adds new actions and features to your character.
Q. Will we only have PVE skills?
Q. Will we also have PVP skills that will work?
A. The learned skills are designed to be used in various ways, both PVE and PVP.
Q. Will we finally have magic in the game?
A. This time, the magic does not include the game.
Q. Will we finally have a monster village in the game?
A. Yes. Monster village includes. You can get rewards by raiding monster villages.
Q. Will we have animal breeding in the game?
A. That is not a high priority task, but we intend to implement it in the final version.
Q. Will we still have the “trace of Evil” when we commit crimes?
A. 'Trace of Evil' is not implemented. Because the game does not define any criminal activity.
Q. Will we still have the Mr boo ghost?
A. The NPC's name was Mr.Boboo. The new game contains a shop NPC. But I'm not sure if Mr. Boboo will appear again.
Q. Will we have a cosmetics store still in the game?
A. It will be in the final version.
Q. Will we have DPS, Healer and Tank builds?
A. It will be possible by combining various skills and weapons.

A. There will be small dungeons in the game.
Q. Will we have bosses to defeat and drop something relevant to create an item?
A. There are huge monsters in each area, and hunting them will give you rewards.
Q. Will we still have the auction in the game?
A. Currently, there is no plan for the auction.
Q. Does the new project have a release date?
A. I have a plan, but it seems a little too early to reveal it.
Q. Will we have item quality again as normal-rare-magical-legendary?
A. There will be no item qualities.
Q. Will we have guilds in the game?
A. We are planning that for the final version.
For now, we are focusing on other features.
Q. I hope the durability of the items is longer as it was in 2015 !?
A. We will make the item repairable.
Q. Will we have freedom again to build large bases?
A. Whoever opens the server will be able to choose.
Q. Will we have this portal that we have never seen on TOL?
A. Not exactly the same, but there are portals in the world.
Q. Will we have a test server to see this sneak peek?
A. Yes. It will be revealed to the Tree of Life community first.
The demo will be released quickly to hear community feedback.
Q. Does this new project have anything to do with this image?
A. This image was used when the Tree of Life interface was rebuilt. The new project has nothing to do with this image.
Q. Is there any chance of this dynamic repeating again?
A. Official servers may have a soft-wipe cycle(only buildings).
But if you want, you can open a permanent Dedicated Server directly.
Q. YOU HAVE CHANGED THE CHANNEL NAME ON THE YOUTUBE OF TREE OF LIFE FOR ODDONEGAMES. IS IT A SIGN THAT THIS PROJECT WILL BURIAL THE TREE OF LIFE?
A. No. Rather, it is the opposite. We had a lot of channels to manage, so we are integrating them because we think that it is more convenient to communicate with the community.
Q. Do you have any strategy to captivate players who do not believe and also do not trust Oddone because of its past? Why should we believe you again?
A. I admit that our operations are out of date and not done right. Tree of Life was our first game, and we learned a lot while managing the game.
While developing Tree of Life, I thought it was my game because I made it at first.
However, with the game operation, the idea that the owner of the game belongs to the community who loves the game and spends time with it has solidified.
It is difficult to say to trust me at once. However, I hope that the trust will gradually recover as we manage in the future.
Q. Will you ♥♥♥♥ it up like you did tree of live? You made a hardcore survival mmo and it was good, and you ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it up because you dont like pvp.. So AMA, are you going to ♥♥♥♥ this up too because i would rather just save my money if so
A. We are regretting that. This time the PVP server and PVE server will be separated.
Q. Please change or improve Tree of Life's item looting.
A. In the new game, items will be automatically acquired without pressing F.
Q. Please remove the Tree of Life's item grade.
A. Item grades will be removed in new games. Depending on your skill, you will discover new recipes, and each region will drop unique resources rather than higher grades.
Q. Give each skill point something special.
A. Each skill point is uniquely designed, making it fun to choose skills.
Q. Is it some kind of Tree of Life 2? I wish to get an mmorpg experience with some player based economy
A. It's the official sequel of Tree of Life. The game title has not been confirmed yet.
Q. Has this project already been implemented in the game?
A. The new project is not using the same engine as Tree of Life. This project is a completely standalone project and is still early, but we have a playable client.
Q. Engine?
A. It's Unreal4.
Q. Tree of Life will return with news ''contents''? It the only game that really interests me.
A. It would be nice to think of the new project as an improved or complete version of Tree of Life. Of course there is new content.
Q. As long as you don't learn to hear what your community is telling you, Odd should never develope any game again...and trying to use the engine for some sidekicks based on ToL is just a desperated try to get back on the train...if u really want a comeback: Make ToL great again!
A. The new project will evolve while listening to the community. I will not repeat my last mistakes. thank you.
Q. Does new game let you run your own dedicated server?
A. We will release Dedicated Server publicly. so that everyone can freely open their own server and customize detail rules.
Q. The items that we got in our "special inventory" will stay with here, too? (Bunny outfit, Adventurer pack bag... etc)
A. The base technology is different between the new project and the Tree of Life. So the item will not be compatible. However, there will be a special rewards program for Tree of Life players.
Q. Why did you abandon your tree of life community and leave them with nothing?
Q. Why did you destroy tree of life's community with updates the community didnt want?
Q. Due to how you handled your prior game why do you think the community would even show an interest in coming back to a new game your developing?
Q. Why did you go radio silent at the end not answering questions or even show concern about the game or its community toward the end?
Q. Why after all that time you still havent implemented into tree of life what was advertised on the store page and is basically false advertising?
Q. Tree of life was an amazing game... alot of us loved it... in one update you destroyed the game... then in the second update you finished it off.. and this is while ignoring player feedback
I have no intention of playing anything you make again cause you will just abandon like the other game... you did this to yourselves... you have ruined your own reputation
A. When I started making Tree of Life, I was just a programmer and I was confident in programming. I was convinced that I could make the game well. When I released the first game I made (Tree of Life), I got overwhelmed by the unexpected popularity and fell into the artist's attention. That's why I made arbitrary decisions without listening to the community.
The goal of this project is to go back to the beginning and recreate the Tree of Life. However, there are differences from before. I try to value the opinions of the game community more than I have. Because the game is not owned by the developers, it is owned by the individual who likes and plays the game.
Tree of Life is a dream project for me, and I think I planned too many things, although I didn't have enough skills to complete that. In this project, I will throw away my greed and continue to fill the world.
I want to tell the community that I am sorry for coming too late.
and, rather than just apologizing, I would like to gradually complete the plan I made at Tree of Life based on what I learned.
Thank you for participating.
