Spent the evening wading through Skyrim footage, and finding possibilities! I have 45 minutes left to cut through; by tomorrow evening I should have a better idea of what will go into the next, next video. Until then I’ll just have to put some of mah sweet rolls up on display, uh-hut!
I got through this a lot faster than expected. All trimmed down, one small bit of animation, and just enough editing to make it into something somewhat worth sharing. I should also have enough for a second video, but that one might take a bit longer. 😛 That’ll give me an excuse to release the smaller videos in the meantime! There will at least be some activity planned for a little while. 😀
So, there will be a video release to look forward to this weekend! Y33t!
I made some time to play Stray! Or as other people have been calling it: The Cat Game. Since I’m playing on PC I have the abillity to make my own “cat-sona”. The game runs pretty well at 4K on my system, but every once in awhile I experience some stuttering (thanks Unreal Engine). This seems to be happening to everyone on PC, while on Playstation it doesn’t have this issue. Given the choice though I have to have my mods, and like I said prior, it doesn’t happen enough for me to want to rage quit. In fact, I really love how unique this game is.
Quite a few people I know at work have been playing it on Playstation, and a couple friends of mine were telling me about how their cat kept trying to paw at the screen while they were playing. I have the game ready to go on the living room PC! I just need to play it out there on a day when I have a captive kitty audience, they were all doing cat things outside today while I was inside doing cat things. I’ve been having a fun time being catatonic today! 😛
It was a fun walk down memory lane this evening in Shotcut, the Skyrim footage is proving to be quite promising! So far I have almost two hours worth of footage cut down to a little over half an hour, with another fifteen minutes of it to chop up before doing a second pass at it. Unlike the three videos I pumped out this week, this one looks like it’ll require more attention in the animation dept. There is a tidal wave of ideas flowing through my brain right now; I’m overwhelmed with horrifying imagination between what transpired on screen, and what I have in SFM assets.
Bob help my YouTube channel.
Another evening passes, and another video has been rendered! I had to scrap the footage for Abyss Odyssey, but I did find enough footage for a small Quake Champions video! I’m thinking of keeping the Bethesda streak and continuing onward tomorrow by looking through some Skyrim footage, it’s been awhile since I’ve done anything with Skyrim… and I have an eternity’s worth of footage to sort through. In this case it’s only Session 2 of 45. I’ll save this for a day where my eyes are slightly less tired.
Not only did I finish up the Yakuza vid – I also put together a mini compilation from some old Serious Sam footage I took back in 2018! It’s a short simple video, but it has some fun moments in it. Damn, it’s nice to be getting through so much footage after all this time! I’m going to sort through footage of Abyss Odyssey tomorrow to see if there’s anything worth keeping, that one I’m not entirely sure about. I remember recording the footage for that when Steam Remote Play was recently released.
If everything goes according to plan I should have this up to view by the weekend! I’m rendering the animations now, and I also have the video thumbnail good to go. I just need to drop in the ending, export, and call it good!
Meanwhile, as everything falls into place; I’ve been combing my hard drives for more video footage to adventure through! I’ve already deleted a few hundred gigs of GMod footage that I won’t be needing (the audio wasn’t setup correctly). I still have a couple hundred gigs of GMod footage to go through, but that’ll have to wait for another day… I’m starting to look at my Serious Sam footage with intrigue, although I already tossed a little over 100GB of video for that.
That just means I’ll have more storage for later. 😀
Well, this mini-vacation has been nice. But it’s time for me to get back to my weekly grind. It was nice to get some rest, get a small bit done in my closet, enjoy a game, and of course some personal spa treatment. 😛 I’m about as ready to return as I’m going to be. My mind is at a level of calm that will probably be undone within just a few hours, if that. Twas all fun while it lasted.
Here’s to the next weekend! 😛
I guess I had so much fun exploring yesterday that I decided to continue onward with more tomb raiding! It was mostly backtracking for crates, and a couple challenge tombs here and there. It was an immersive escape from reality anyway. I think I’ve had my fill of it for now though, have to move onto the next thing.
