Predecessor Report - August 2023

Welcome Champions, to our second blog dedicated to the subject of chat moderation and in-game toxicity!Last month, we told you about an anti-toxicity measure that has been implemented in the Predecessor - an AI-based solution to watch over the in-game chat and flag and take action against the offenders who say things or make comments that do not belong in Predecessor.It was an important adjustment to add to the game. Complaints about in-game toxicity have been one of the most concerning to us and we knew that we needed to address it ASAP, especially with our highly anticipated console launch on the horizon! In case you missed <a href="https://www.predecessorgame.com/blog/tackling-toxicity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">our last blog</a> about it, allow me to bring you up to speed!Predecessor uses an AI-based solution, a tool called <a href="https://www.ggwp.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">GGWP</a>, for in-game chat moderation. The AI reads through everything that is being said in the game to make sure the conversation is clean and pleasant for everyone involved. If it is, it takes no action. If it isn’t, it filters the problematic words and phrases and if it’s necessary, and players saying those words might get muted. Since it’s AI, that means it’s not only phrase-sensitive, but also context-sensitive, and can’t be dodged as easily (people will try of course, but attempts to circumvent the system are flagged and we can rapidly adjust systems whenever it happens). The system is applying moderative actions in almost real-time, making the unwelcome behaviour in the game much less prevalent.We want to stress that in general, we find our community wonderful, helpful, and capable of improving when we point out something is not okay. And we have statistics to prove that!Since we launched this tool we have noticed a:◆ 58.6% drop in harassment incidents. ◆ 58% drop in identity-based incidents. ◆ 55.8% drop in violence-related incidents.And that’s amazing and exactly what we wanted to see!<div class="pg-separator"></div>Understandably, there’s a lot of misconception and confusion about how the tool works, and a handful of myths have started to float around in the community about what it does and what it doesn’t.So I’m here to bust the most widespread myths for you, to clear up what’s going on behind the scenes.So without further ado, here we go!<h3>“The solution was released willy-nilly and without testing!” </h3>GGWP as a chat moderation tool was actually implemented into Predecessor way back in March! It was simply observing for a while, as we wanted it to have ample time to learn the way that people talk in our game to help it build a strong understanding of our community and what kind of behaviour was to be considered undesirable. It has been working quietly in the background, learning the lingo, identifying what’s considered violent language and what’s just Pred talk.When we announced its launch last month, that marked the point at which the AI was finally permitted to take action in game - but it has been working behind the scenes for a few months.<h3>“AI has gotten a lot of people perma-muted!”</h3>To be as clear as possible, AI has never gotten anyone permanently muted. It actually doesn’t have the power to do that. If someone consistently behaves so badly that such action needs to be taken, there will be a human who will review the accuracy of any and all flags raised by the AI tool and determine and apply the ban.<h3>“AI only takes action against people using slurs!”</h3>We call it an anti-toxicity measure, because it helps us weed out all sorts of undesired attitudes. Slurs and insults are pretty high up on the list of things we don’t want in our game, but we also don’t want people threatening others, using excessive or grotesque profanities, extreme trash-talking, bullying or even spamming. Those are also mutable offences.<h3>“People get wrongly muted all the time!”</h3>Since its public implementation 6 weeks ago, a crack team here at Omeda Studios HQ have been checking the records of users who claim that have been muted wrongly. But how many reported mutes were actually incorrectly muted? Roughly 3% of the cases we checked.That myth likely originated from the fact that the moderation tool sometimes needs a moment to process the offence and apply the penalty, so the offending player might still send a few messages before any punishments go into effect. This might sometimes create an impression that the player got banned for the very last thing they said, which is not always the case.<h3>“The AI thing is set in stone and won’t change!”</h3>Since it launched, we’ve been continually tweaking the tool - several times even in the last few weeks alone. Language and communication trends are living and ever-changing, and we’ll be here to react to those changes, as well as any mistakes our systems could be making.<h3>“I said one thing and I was muted straight away!”</h3>That’s only true for the worst offenders, for the very worst kinds of misbehaviours. Unless someone uses extremely violent or derogatory language, mutes on the first offence are very rare.If you join a match, say something and receive a chat mute, it’ll most likely be because of historical behaviour records. The AI builds a picture of your behaviour over time meaning that - as previously mentioned - mutes are nearly always the result of patterns of misbehaviour rather than one off offences.<h3>“Trash talking and bullying are consensual in my friend group, we should be able to do it!”</h3>If that’s the case, please make use of external private chat systems where you can speak to your friends without being held to our community standards and expectations.<h3>“My toxicity was in response to someone else’s toxicity - I shouldn’t have been muted! ”</h3>We know it can sometimes be hard to stay calm when you see or hear nasty stuff. Being toxic in return, however, is not the solution. If someone in-game is acting inappropriately, breaking our <a href="https://www.predecessorgame.com/code-of-conduct" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Community Charter</a> or is otherwise contributing to a toxic community environment and you think the system is not picking it up, please report and mute that person. <h3>“Why have chat moderation when you can just mute people? It should be up to a player to mute the people toxic to them!”</h3>The intended use of muting is for you to distance yourself from players that might not have done anything wrong, but that you simply don’t want to interact with in the chat. There can be a number of reasons for this, such as wanting to focus on the game without any distractions, creating content like a YouTube video or livestream and not wanting any chat messages cluttering your gameplay, or maybe you’re simply not in a particularly social mood.Our intention is to never make it the player’s responsibility to remove potentially hurtful messages. Reactive, player-managed moderation means that players must first be exposed to slurs, insults and threats before they know to mute someone, which is not only unfair for those in our community who don’t use such language or behaviour, but it also goes against our goals for building a healthy, sustainable community.<h3>“Trash talking is the normal way of talking in games!”</h3>Does it have to be? We’re not out here trying to remove trash-talking entirely. We know that it is - to some degree - a fact of life in games like ours. But we can strive to improve the quality of this kind of communication. By removing unnecessary slurs and threats you can focus on grilling your fellow players over what really matters, such as why the enemy Kallari picked the festive Peppermint skin in August.<div class="pg-separator"></div>With all of that being said, we hope that the way our chat moderation tool works is more clear for you now. As mentioned above, we’ve already seen a huge change for the better in the last month or so alone and have no doubts that we’ll continue to see positive results in the times to come.We are also aware that toxicity isn’t just limited to just the in-game chat, and that players will sometimes abuse other systems to purposely harm the in-game experience for others. All that means that our mission to tackle toxicity does not end here! We’ll share more about other measures that we’re working on in due time. One of the things we do want to mention is addressing toxicity in other languages. Currently Predecessor is available only in English with the majority of in-game player communication also being in English. Once we embark on the journey of localising Predecessor for multiple languages, we will make sure that our anti-toxicity measures develop further too.<div class="pg-separator"></div>Thank you very much for reading and don’t hesitate to ask questions if you have any!~Zuzu, Community Experience Manager

AI-powered chat moderation, featuring Auto-Muting!

Our vision for a healthy community. 
Introducing the Predecessor Community Charter.


Here at Omeda Studios we’re always listening closely to what our community is saying. Your feedback is crucial to the development of Predecessor; guiding many essential tweaks and changes which we believe will benefit the game for years to come. There’s a lot to do during Early Access, and we recognize that addressing player toxicity continues to be a big point on our to-do list. Fundamentally, any game is only as enjoyable as its community, and a healthy community experience is the backbone of the type of MOBA we want to build. We want to make Predecessor a fun, inviting and sustainable place for everyone who might come to play it. To achieve this however we need to make a few changes. <img alt="sbimp-heavy-line.png" loading="lazy" width="1000" height="75" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" style="color:transparent" srcSet="/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Frm5ymc69vmwz%2F1BxroolczPQYPs1NeGnKGO%2F58fe80b6c5c259734031213fd1bde1e4%2Fheavy-line.png%3Fw%3D1000%26fm%3Dwebp&amp;w=1080&amp;q=75 1x, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Frm5ymc69vmwz%2F1BxroolczPQYPs1NeGnKGO%2F58fe80b6c5c259734031213fd1bde1e4%2Fheavy-line.png%3Fw%3D1000%26fm%3Dwebp&amp;w=2048&amp;q=75 2x" src="/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Frm5ymc69vmwz%2F1BxroolczPQYPs1NeGnKGO%2F58fe80b6c5c259734031213fd1bde1e4%2Fheavy-line.png%3Fw%3D1000%26fm%3Dwebp&amp;w=2048&amp;q=75"/><h2 id="ai-powered-chat-moderation-featuring-auto-muting" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">AI-powered chat moderation, featuring Auto-Muting!</h2>So far the vast majority of moderation in Predecessor has been done manually, which as you can imagine is not only time-consuming, but also highly unsustainable in the long run.We’ve spent some time testing various different anti-toxicity solutions and have landed on an AI-based, industry-leading solution that we’ve been quietly training for a number of weeks now. And with the V0.9 Game Update, we’ll finally be switching it on!So how does it work?The AI tool is trained to recognize a huge list of words and phrases that we don’t consider welcome in our game, including a wide range of threats, insults, slurs, and more. Each time the tool detects this kind of language, it’ll automatically flag, log and even take action based on the severity of the message. If the offense justifies a penalty, it will be applied automatically and immediately, without the need for manual review. This does mean that some messages might be inappropriately or accidentally flagged, but the system will account for your chat history when deciding whether any action is needed. If you believe you have been flagged and penalized inappropriately, please get in touch with members of the Community Team on our <a href="https://discord.gg/predecessor" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Discord server.</a>On the lighter end of the spectrum, toxic messages will simply be removed. If a player continues their toxic messaging, they may also then receive a temporary chat ban. And if they still insist on their chat tirade after the penalty lifts, their next punishment will be longer - eventually scaling to a complete inability to use chat features again. Ever.Obviously, no automated tool is perfect and this is just the first iteration of how this will work. Luckily this new AI is highly adaptive and customizable, meaning we can tweak parameters on the fly to fine-tune its performance as our community and player base develops, grows and changes. And, as with everything else we&#39;re doing during Early Access, we&#39;ll be constantly monitoring its impact to ensure the system is robust and performing correctly.We also understand that although we don’t expect them to be common, false positives can sometimes occur during automated moderation processes. Rest assured we can and will lift any sanctions a player might have received should a manual investigation show that a player was unjustly muted or banned from chat.Hopefully, all of that means that you’ll see a strong improvement in the health of our in-game chat experience, that you’ll have more fun playing Predecessor, and that you’ll continue to as our player base increases! This is just the first step on a very long journey, this system will continue to evolve and expand.<img alt="sbimp-heavy-line.png" loading="lazy" width="1000" height="75" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" style="color:transparent" srcSet="/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Frm5ymc69vmwz%2F1BxroolczPQYPs1NeGnKGO%2F58fe80b6c5c259734031213fd1bde1e4%2Fheavy-line.png%3Fw%3D1000%26fm%3Dwebp&amp;w=1080&amp;q=75 1x, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Frm5ymc69vmwz%2F1BxroolczPQYPs1NeGnKGO%2F58fe80b6c5c259734031213fd1bde1e4%2Fheavy-line.png%3Fw%3D1000%26fm%3Dwebp&amp;w=2048&amp;q=75 2x" src="/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Frm5ymc69vmwz%2F1BxroolczPQYPs1NeGnKGO%2F58fe80b6c5c259734031213fd1bde1e4%2Fheavy-line.png%3Fw%3D1000%26fm%3Dwebp&amp;w=2048&amp;q=75"/><h2 id="our-vision-for-a-healthy-community-introducing-the-predecessor-community-charter" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Our vision for a healthy community.

Predecessor Report - June 2023

Following our most recent stress test we wanted to share our Roadmap as we prepare for Early Access. While the main focus of the stress test was to test our backend infrastructure, we received a lot of feedback on the game. We’ve taken the time since the playtest to digest your feedback, talk with players and discuss internally about next steps. Today we want to share with you a few of the things we’re currently working on as we approach Early Access.

 Item System The Item System is something that we are constantly tinkering with. We think we’ve found a good baseline for how we want the item system to function and almost all the feedback has been positive. Part of the next revision to the item system will mostly be about User Interface. Along with the HUD redesign we’re rebuilding the shop from the ground up to help support the new item system.Alongside a redesign of the interface, we also noticed that a lot of players enjoyed items that went above and beyond in augmenting the way you play your hero (Galaxy Greaves anyone?) and we’re excited to introduce more of these items.Projectiles Prior to the Stress Test weekend, we were already in the middle of a huge refactor to one of the key foundations of the game, projectiles. The reason we decided to refactor projectiles was due to not finding that sweet spot in how we wanted them to feel. We noticed that faster shooting heroes like Murdock and Drongo felt pretty good but often heroes like Fey and Gideon felt below par and as such we went back to the drawing board to find areas of improvement. As part of the projectile refactor we snuck in another massive upgrade to Howitzer&#39;s Ultimate, which was previously quite difficult to implement. We’re excited to showcase this new Ultimate in action soon. Revamped User Interface One of the most common complaints was about the user interface. Most of you who have been following us from the beginning will know this is something that hasn’t been touched since almost the very beginning!

 The HUD is something we’re focusing heavily on however we’re pushing the boundaries using complex technology to squeeze every ounce of performance out of the user interface to ensure the game is even more performant that is now. We received a lot of positive feedback with how well optimised and performant the game is, and what might be surprising to most of you is that our HUD is actually the heaviest part of our game at the moment. We’re excited to see what performance boost we get from the new HUD along with the improved visuals. Console Console development is well under way, stay tuned for more later this year.Audio We’re always working on the audio of the game, from new heroes to polishing up existing sounds to music in menus. Expect consistent improvements here as we head to early access. Camera We saw a lot of feedback regarding the camera on certain heroes. We’re currently adjusting various camera settings to find sweet spots that all players can enjoy without taking away from the immersive experience.

 Onboarding We’ll be adding more hints, tips and tricks to get players started as well as ways to try out heroes before jumping into a full 5v5 game. Matchmaking Rating Predecessor is designed to be a competitive experience and we&#39;re currently adding our MMR system to offer players of all skill levels a more balanced and continuously challenging experience. New Heroes Heroes are at the heart of any MOBA and Predecessor is no exception. We are continuing to pump away at heroes to ensure that everyone’s old favourite returns but we’re also excited to flex our wings with our own heroes.

 Codename Huntress, this Vampire Hunter has travelled here for only one reason. Stay tuned for a look at Huntress in the coming weeks and months. Summary These are just a few of the things we’re working on but we’re also constantly working on improved visuals, sounds, game feel and more. The Stress Test weekend was just a small taste of what we have to offer, after all we had to save some stuff for Early Access.

Following our most recent stress test we wanted to share our Roadmap as we prepare for Early Access!

Road to Early Access

Before we begin, we want to take a moment to share our appreciation for your continued support. While we didn&#39;t have many playtest opportunities, your thoughts and ideas on what you would like to see continue to help us shape Predecessor into the game we&#39;re developing today.Everyone at Omeda Studios is proud of the accomplishments we&#39;ve achieved this year.&nbsp;&nbsp;We are extremely grateful for EPIC Games&#39; generosity by awarding us with an <a href="https://www.omedastudios.com/blog/epic-games-megagrant-recipient" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">EPIC MegaGrant</a> in early March. Following that, we were able to close our <a href="https://www.omedastudios.com/blog/Omeda-Studios-Funding-Announcement" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">first round of funding</a> for $2.2m which enabled us to create even more content.Since then, we&#39;ve added a wealth of industry talent to the team from some of the biggest studios in the world. We&#39;ve also had <a href="https://www.omedastudios.com/blog/steve-superville-joins-omeda-studios-as-an-advisor" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Steve Superville</a>, former Creative Director at EPIC Games, join Omeda Studios as an advisor.If you would like to read more about our previously announced accomplishments, check out our earlier <a href="https://www.omedastudios.com/blog/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">blog entries</a>. We&#39;re eager to show you what we&#39;ve been up to. You&#39;re in for a treat with today&#39;s blog!New UI, Social Features, Parties and Group Matchmaking: Before diving into matchmaking, a lot of us look around and try to match with friends first, right? With our newly updated UI and social list, you can find out who&#39;s away, in a match or ready to go at a glance!

 Death Cam &amp; Rejoin Feature: Sometimes our plays are a bit more on the tactical side of things and we die. It doesn&#39;t mean you can&#39;t enjoy another players perspective while sitting on the sidelines.As for our rejoin feature, every now and again our internet connection suffers from a brief hiccup, but that won&#39;t keep you from being able to jump back into your current game.Updated Towers with Hit Reactions: You shouldn&#39;t have to ask yourself if you&#39;re hitting a tower when you should be watching your back. Animation and sounds are crucial in MOBA style gameplay, so this is just one example of how we plan to make it better to strategize. We&#39;re very excited to start the new year with you all and we look forward to sharing more information as we continue development. We hope you enjoyed today&#39;s blog post, if you did, share your thoughts with us on Twitter and join the discussion in our community Discord server. Here&#39;s to an awesome year for Predecessor! Happy holidays, Omeda Studios

Everyone at Omeda Studios is proud of the accomplishments we've achieved this year. Let's go down memory lane together and maybe even find some new info along the way.
