Quality time, with Jeff -- S01E02 The Vaulters

Hey everyone,


Hot on the tail of the previous episode, we've got a second edition of Quality time with Jeff Spock!


This time, our favorite Narrative Director welcomes our Game Designer Kynrael, who was apparently just hanging around the back of Château Spock, and both of them discuss our favorite star-crossed space vikings, the Vaulters! Today, our roaring fireside discussion will cover their specific gameplay features and how their narration ties into that. What have they been up to since the Argosy took off from Auriga? How does having a unique colony ship play out? Are pirates really untractable or maybe the next tool to use in your strategy?






As a reminder, Quality time with Jeff Spock is a brand new experiment on our side, so we're very interested in hearing what you think! Your feedback is welcome, and don't hesitate to ask more questions on the subject in the comments, we want to hear them too!

So cozy I wish Jeff would just read bedtime stories from endless universe as I go to sleep

Hi everyone, and tons of thanks for the great comments.


Of course, as I am the lore guy, I could go on for hours on the subject and bore every human on Earth to tears and/or death. For this series however, we want to keep an interesting balance of lore as well as gameplay and design info. Of course, we also want you all to meet all the other great people on our team who don't happen to be writers who love to hear themselves talk :)  so that is why we are doing the series this way.


Keep the comments coming, and we'll keep doing videos...

Makes sense! Not to take away from Kynrael in any way, the gameplay in all of Amplitude's work is fantastic. Looking forward to the next one!

[Dunno where to post that)

The DLC is not showing correctly on the steam site. I put it in my wishlist but the name isn't showing at all as it should.

I did not find where to mention it in the steam support tree, so I tell it to you.


See capture :

Oh Jeff, it warms my ventricles to hear lore morsels (loresels?) from you by a roaring fire. And you brought a minion this time!

Woohoo! More BTS! Bravo guys, I love your transparency with the development process and the inner workings of Amplitude. Keeps me coming back. :)


One note for this series -- just some constructive criticism, if I may. Because you guys are SO transparent with how you develop your games, I honestly felt as though, through your twitch stream and all your other forum posts, that I've been delivered this information in many forms already. That's not to say I don't like my QT with Mr. Spock -- I love it!! That noted, my favorite aspect of the original video was it's emphasis on the story-telling/world-building aspect of the Endless series. There's so many great facets of your franchise that it's hard to pin down a favorite, but the epic backdrop in which your games are set is definitely up there at at least top 3 for me. Allora... my point being, I feel as though since you've covered the FEATURES of the new release (I don't want to say exhaustively because that has a negative connotation, but I DEFINITELY know the content of the new DLC and bonus content pack), maybe this series can focus more on the writing/story development side of things a little more than the rest of the other material you publish online? Mr. Spock is running that show, for what it matters. I feel like he might be a, how you say, expert on the subject. AND I FREAKING LOVE THE LORE! I LOVE IT AND I WANT MORE!


So yeah, just for variety's sake in the types of information you put out there, maybe this could be more story focused rather than an update summary? I mean, the Vaulters have a pretty cool storyline, am-I-right?

I had similar thoughts. I love every bit of extra lore I can get my hands on …
