Video production is going well. So far I have two Resonite videos compiled and ready to release. The Resonite videos won’t have any additional animation to go with them, unfortunately. As much as I’d like to add something extra I can’t find the reason. As it stands though I think they’ll be fine enough on their own. When I have more energy tomorrow I’ll start working on the video thumbnail(s)
Until then I’ve been diagnosed with sleep.
A couple weeks back we found a VHS player in one of the worlds in Resonite; it turned out to be leftover from the Neos VR era, so it ran on older code. Yutram managed to get it working on Resonite’s more current code. We tested it out with The Cowboy Bebop Movie, one of many anime movies I can recommend. Other than some volume issues at the start we had it sorted in a few clicks. Apparently they have it available on archive.org!
We continued the adventure into a few other worlds. We went to a circus, a Minecraft village, and ended the night at a fancy resort that had a lot going on. A working pool, bumper cars, a beach with working showers, and a bunch more that has yet to be explored. The bumper cars had to be the funniest part though, unfortunately I forgot to film… but we will be returning with Bong to show him a good time, and have another laugh. 😀
Played some MGS1 while remuxing some footage tonight, and finally defeated Psycho Mantis with the Achievement/Trophy to prove it. Next stop is Sniper Wolf!
Finished American McGee’s Alice tonight, overall I had a good time with it. Some of the game mechanics haven’t aged well, but the story, music and overall weapons made it all come together. I think my favorites were the deadly jacks. They did an incredible job with the idTech3 engine, I kinda wish they had a multiplayer deathmatch mode. 😛
Now I can properly begin Alice: Madness Returns next time I need to get my fix of Alice. Not sure if I’ll start a new game, or if I’ll continue on from the save I already had. Might be a good idea to do the latter to refresh myself on the controls. Save that for another time though, tomorrow I have a few digital science experiments to tackle, and maybe continue a video project.
Yutram and I went for another round of world exploration tonight. We found some old relics from the past, including an NFT Cryptobro Museum (it was just as bland as it sounds). Then we hopped to a few other small worlds until we met up with a couple other friends and watched a bit of a documentary before calling it an evening.
We also made a new friend along the way, and they were the only one playing in actual VR! Watching them gush over the working record player and other items was great, exactly what I did when I started playing around. Hard to believe I’m already 100 hours in, and I still feel like a n00b. 😛
Finally finished Bastion! Well, got one of the two endings at any rate.Now that I’ve unlocked NG+ I’ll have to go back and get all the other swag and achievements I missed. Not even half of them are unlocked, something I’ll have to grind on an evening where I feel less tired.
You know sometimes you can end up on the strange part of the internet? In Resonite you can ACTUALLY experience it. This is just a mere fraction of what I found tonight, maybe the weekend will prove more fruitful.
In the meantime: Open Thread
It’s strange… I had another one of those dreams where I was back in the mid 2000’s with a friend that never existed, introducing them to Team Fortress 2 on a laptop that I never even played it on. Maybe it’s the music I’ve been listening to at work, we’ve been on a mix of the 90’s and 00’s and it’s been SUCH a THROWBACK. Either way it’s still better than those annoying dreams about being late for work. Those ones are always the most irritating.
What’s this? A game that isn’t Resonite? Apparently I still play other games? I finally made it past the Royal Rage in American McGee’s Alice. The boss was a total thorn in my side until I figured out what I needed to use to thwart the bastard a second time. Now I’m on my way to the Red Queen… who knows how long it’ll take for me to get there. I’m close to the end, but how long until I decide to play it again? At least I got through the boss battle…
I’ve got enough footage from Resonite that I’ve started sifting through the couple hundred gigs I’ve accumulated. I still have to figure out how I want to divide it up, but I have plenty for at least one video. I’ll go over it again with fresh eyes tomorrow to figure out how I want to end the video, and what additions I need to add to it… if any. So far I’m not sure if I need to add anything additional.
Each night I’ve been diving into public folders where avatars, props, and all kinds of tools are kept. This evening I scored on some Omega Mart Products! Methinks I’ll be doing some grocery shopping for my personal home. 😀
During my excursion into public folders of swag I also stumbled upon some drinkable Gatorade bottles. Another item I’ll probably stock up on… if I remember which folder I grabbed it from. I was filming at the time, so if I forget I’ll probably be reminded when I finally get around to processing the footage. 😛
