Channel and Game Updates

Hi all, just checking in to keep you posted on what's been going on. I've been working with an editor to get the Look Outside VODs cut down into one big video which will also contain the unstreamed finale, look for that sometime soon. As for the regular channel content, I'm still chugging through Final Fantasy VIII. It's not as big of a project as SIGNALIS by any means, but it's a much longer game. I've been streaming it and Rimworld Odyssey on the Patron Discord, be sure to join the @Stream ...

Streaming the Cataclysm: TLG Steam Launch Party!

We are live on Steam, and to celebrate, I'm gonna be streaming some TLG for a bit. Come down and join us!

CTLG Released on Steam!

At long last, the Steam version of The Last Generation is available. This is the same game you can get on github, just packaged in a place where people can drop a few bucks to support development and get the game in their Steam library.

If you wind up grabbing it, please consider leaving a review. Steam surfaces games far more after they've had just ten reviews, so it'd really help get eyes on the thing.

I'll be streaming later today, around 4 PM. There'll be a followup announceme...

Four Dark Narrative Games (Review)

I've been playing some pretty interesting games this year, and I thought I'd share some of them!

Look Outside stream part 3!

It's more Look Outside, live now!

Thank you!

I never imagined I'd get one of these. I couldn't help tearing up when I opened the box and saw it.

Going live with more Look Outside!

We got pretty far last time, let's keep going!

100k Stream Celebration/Look Outside

Hey hey! To celebrate 100k subs, I'm gonna be playing Look Outside, a new indie horror RPG by Francis Coulombe. Starting soon!!

Channel/Progress Update

It's been a bit quiet but work has been chugging along! There's an upcoming review video that just needs some editing, a ton of stuff has been finished in The Last Generation and we're just about ready for a Steam release, and I've begun streaming Final Fantasy 8 on the patrons-only Discord in preparation for What Happens in FFVIII.

If you'd like to be sure you catch the streams, give yourself the @stream role using the bot in chat. Ciao for now!

Update and CTLG Wiki

The CTLG fans have started up a wiki! It is pretty barebones right now, but if you've been playing or wanting to contribute, this could be just what you need.

As for videos, I've got the script mostly worked out for the next one, which will be a review of four dark narrative games. They're all wonderful, which should be high praise coming from someone who normally hates visual novels.

This is also tax week, and in addition to giving the government an unbelievable amount of money (...

Announcing Cataclysm: The Last Generation

Sorry for posting this a bit late, I had some medical stuff to take care of that pulled me away (I'm fine, don't worry about that!).

Cataclysm: The Last Generation is my own fork of Cataclysm, split off from Dark Days Ahead in March 2024. It contains several new innovations, a reworked world and lore, and much more! The game's in active development so there's much more to come. Check out the trailer to learn more, or go to cat...

What Happens in SIGNALIS?

After months and months, with a script longer than The Old Man and The Sea, a six and a half hour runtime, and what I think are some pretty novel revelations about the plot, here it is. What Happens in SIGNALIS?

Progress report!

The Signalis video is completed up through the 2 hour 40 minute mark. We should hit 3 hours tomorrow easily. Looking at my narration track, we have about 2 hours and 34 minutes to go. If we average 20-30 minutes a day (a breakneck pace, but it's been going well. Editing tends to get faster as I move through a video because a lot of the time spent is setup and hunting for assets) we could be uploading as early as next week.

As for Cataclysm, I've got help from a couple of people and we'r...

Cataclysm: The Last Generation Beta Access

TLG isn't quite in shippable shape yet, but I'd like to give the patrons access to the game so you can see how it's shaping up, point out any bugs, or just have something to play until the SIGNALIS video drops. An early build of the game is now up on a private Github account.

Unfortunately the process for inviting people to said account is a bit onerous, as Github doesn't allow me to just generate an invite link for you to click. I've got to manually invite you!

So if you want acc...

Announcing Cataclysm: The Last Generation

The world didn't end overnight.

Looking back, it's easy to see that something's been wrong all our lives. Every day, it got a little worse. The corruption, the economy, the pandemic, the violence, the xenophobia, the environment. Wars all over the other side of the world. Espionage. Mass murder. Chaos.

The headlines flew by so fast that we just got numb to the fact that the whole world was slowly losing its mind.

A few years back, winter came and went, but a lot of the trees...

SIGNALIS Teaser

Brisketchy made a really cool animated intro for the upcoming video! You may remember they also did one for Lisa: The Pointless as well as a bunch of random channel art.

Editing's coming along nicely. It's the longest video yet by a wide margin, so it'll take a week or two, but we're in the home stretch!

In the meantime you can check out Brisketchy's stuff at:

Quick Update

Just a little update so you know where I've been - I have been on a marathon editing ten hours of raw audio, which is one of the most mind-numbing and labor-intensive parts of a video project. With that now complete, it's looking like the final runtime for the Signalis video will be somewhere in the ballpark of five and a half hours.

Still a lot of work left to do, but the next part is much smoother and more fun.

I guested on a Kenshi video!

Premiering now! I worked with Green X to do some voice work for a segment in a story video about one of my favorite games, Kenshi. If you don't know it, Kenshi is an rpg/rts/colony sim hybrid that blends the feeling of Morrowind, Rimworld, and an ineffable vibe - far future post apocalyptic samurai fighting for scraps in a desert wasteland.

"As they grow in number, so does their capacity for evil, and they won't even notice as they do it. I was not the monster. WREEEEEE!"

Review: Embric of Wulfhammer's Castle

The Signalis video is a huuuuge project, so I thought I'd quickly throw a review for a wonderful little game together, just to give people something to watch while I'm away in the content mines. Check it out (if you're old enough!)

How it's going:

Hello! Since my last post, I got Covid TWICE and had to go on a big trip besides. But it was a productive trip, as I was able to write while I was away from home and wound up putting together a veritable novella. The SIGNALIS script is almost twice the length of a Hemingway book.

The bulk of the gameplay footage is recorded. I am putting together some extras and will be moving into the latter phase of production over the next week or two. So there's still a ways to go, but the biggest a...

Next Vid: SIGNALIS

That's right, we're diving into the world of yuri cyborg space horror. The next video will be What Happens In SIGNALIS. If you'd like to play before you watch, you can get it on the Steam Summer Sale for like 30% off or something, but today's the last day!

I considered skipping this one as it isn't as unknown as some of the other stuff I've covered, but it's the kind of story that gets under your skin, and I haven't seen anyone tackle it in quite the way I'd like to.

If you tried ...

Project Zomboid Server opens Monday 6-3-24

Monday, we'll be starting up the patron-only Project Zomboid server! Unless something catastrophic happens, we'll be running a single persistent world for the month of June, then restarting after a short break in July with a new theme and new mods.

As June is the first time we'll be doing this and many players are first-timers, the mod list (which is automatically handled by the game, no need to hit the workshop) is entirely focused on QoL improvements and better balancing for multipla...

What Happens in Wooden Ocean?

After some real life shenanigans, a 75 hour play time, stream after stream of me grinding in the final dungeon, and a grueling editing process, we're finally here, clocking in at nearly two hours! Enjoy, and thank you for your support.

It will make sense when the video comes out

Inching closer to the finish line on the Wooden Ocean video! In the meantime, please enjoy this meme. If you haven't played the game yet, it should be completely indecipherable.

Behold: The Editing Process

The next What Happens In video (The Wooden Ocean) is shaping up to be around two hours long, and I'm just about one hour through the final editing process. It's grueling but the end is in sight!

Live now - Undertale Yellow

The move is finished and patron streams are back. Come on down!

Undertale Yellow - Live Now!

We're near the end!

Undertale Yellow Stream Today

I'll be streaming Undertale Yellow at 4:00 Eastern today - 30 minutes from now! We're nearing the end of the pacifist route. Can we convince ASGORE to be cool?

A link will drop here on the patreon when it's time.

The Termina Race is Live Now!

Frapollo94 and I are racing to the top of the tower! The first one to get ending B or C in a glitchless run wins the race!
