#11 - Bloodborne Update

I finished writing the Bloodborne scripts a few minutes ago and I want to let you all know how they're going. The project has turned into a monster. The rough estimate of time that I usually go by is 2,000 words in the script = 10 minutes of video. The three videos have ended up like this then:

1) Series Strengths and Sequel Changes = 6,500 words = 30~ minutes.

2) Level Design and Boss Battles = 18,000 words = 90~ minutes.

3) Chalice Dungeons and DLC = 6,000 words = 30~ minutes...

#10 - Shiny and Chrome

So The Witness video is doing great. I'm really surprised. My wife was convinced it would do well so she was right. I was wrong. I thought it was going to be another smaller video like Infinifactory.

It brought in some new pledges--or at least coincided with some of them. Thank you to the newcomers. The support means a hell of a lot. Sometimes it looks like I won't be able to keep committing so much time to the channel but then there are weeks like this one that justify all the time. Thank...

Not-So-Weekly #9

I'm going to scale back on the posts here unless I have something important to say. But I think at least one short note about what I'm doing should happen every two weeks. I think that'll work better.

The video on Dragon's Dogma was well received. I'm pleased with it. In terms of production time and end result, I think it's one of my best videos.

I finished Stardew Valley and then started playing The Witness while I was writing the script. The game ended up sucking up all of my t...

Weekly Mail #8 - Planning for Dark Souls 3

Thank you for the encouragement on the last post. I'm looking at new videos differently now. I have enough subs that making content for them should be my top priority mentally, and that the channel will grow at whatever rate it will. I'm lucky to have the audience that I have. I hit 200k views this week. That's a hell of a lot. I won't complain about lackluster exposure again.

I'm about 10 hours from being finished with my hard mode run of Dragon's Dogma. That'll put my total time well ove...

Weekly Words #7 - Dogma is Weird

Good news: I think the audio problem is fixed. No clipping. No complaints. Sounds much better on speakers. My guess is that headsets mask the problem somehow.

Bad news: the video on Rise of the Tomb Raider flopped. People who watched it seemed to really like it, but not many have. As much as my subs are the MOST important audience to cater to, growing the channel is vital and this video did next to nothing toward that. It was posted at a couple of places and immediately went dead.

Weekly Message #6 - First Review Code!

I finished Rise of the Tomb Raider in the middle of the week. Good game. Not great, but enjoyable. I've written the script and I'm in the early stages of recording the audio. 

Tweaking it to avoid clipping was more work than I expected so I'm behind schedule. The recording sounds a lot lower on my headset but was really good on speakers. I'm concerned that the final video will be too quiet and I might have to record the whole thing all over again. So apologies for that in advance if i...

Weekly Journal #5 - More Tombs, 4000 Subs

The video on Darkest Dungeon was received far better than I thought. I'm always nervous when I post a new video no matter what it is, since I taught myself everything to do with them and wonder if I missed something simple. I was particularly worried about this one because my opinion went so strongly against most other reviews. I feel a lot better about it now.

Not to say that my opinion is flat-out correct or anything, just that it was reasoned well enough that people could see where I wa...

Weekly Thing #4 - The Darkest of Dungeons

Whether I had my son in my lap or he was sleeping next to me, I played Darkest Dungeon for almost 10 hours a day every day this week. Steam says I've put 96 hours into the game and I only played it for about 2 hours before it came out of early access. I have a bad habit of leaving games running when I go AFK for a while so I'd say the number is closer to 80 hours.

So there won't be a video this week. I finished the game yesterday so the video should be ready by Tuesday at the earliest. It ...

Weekly Update #3 - Dungeons and Tombs

A video on Tomb Raider is uploading to youtube as I type this. It's not the most thorough look at the game but I'm happy with how it turned out, especially since the sequel's release is next week. Hopefully I can do a similar thing in the future for series that have new games releasing.

I'm going forward under the assumption that Darkest Dungeon is a shorter game than Dragon's Dogma--so I can get footage of the game and then make the video while I continue playing Dogma for what I suspect ...

Weekly Post #2

Seems like Fridays will be the day I do these, at least for now. I'll try to keep them brief unless I have something big to say.

I finished and published a video on Infinifactory this week. Shorter than my usual but for four weeks in a row I've managed to get something new out. I think I've finally worked out how make consistently decent audio quality in my recordings. Not overly fantastic but also not weirdly shifting like the prior few videos. I had the microphone turned around backwards...

Test Post. Don't Ignore.

Hi there.

Going to keep this short in case I'm doing it all wrong. First post on patreon! I think maybe this should be a weekly thing so people know what I'm working on and what videos are planned in the future. I honestly have no idea what people's expectations are on this site so I'll do what feels the most natural and tweak as I go. Bear with me if you can.

So upcoming content:

I am very unhappy with how the middle of my Dark Souls 2 Series turned out. The Series Str...
