The Battle Plan 25 May 2021 (Patreon)

We have just finished editing a video.

Yes? How was the video?

Many complexities in editing. New templates should be made.

Oh? Yes?

Better templates than we use now. You are transparent. I see many things. I see plans within plans.

Is there a problem? Usually there's a problem when you decide to quote Dune yet again.

The answer is within the problem. I see two great channels. Channel Colonel Failure, channel Electrosports competing for your attention. I see the Dozerverse fueling it.

Yes.

You must share with us.

Strangely apt, as there are plans within plans happening at this moment and so far they're going really rather well. Are they going to pay off? They just might. All being well by the start of July the circle will be complete and then I will be the master. Or something. Anyway, I'm just getting started in bringing the Dozerverse further into the light, you'll see. You might watch a video or two, which would be fun. You might even get involved, which would be ace.

I'll reveal more from behind the magician's curtain when the time is right. Probably riding a sandworm.

Here's the upcoming schedule.

• Tue: Transport Fever 2 Japan
• Wed: Same
• Thu: And again
• Fri: Nope. No idea. It'll be something though.
• Sat: Rising Star, live stream... Bannerlord
• Sun: Automation (CF), Baseball (Electrosports), Dyson Sphere Program (Backers)

First, a quick word about Transport Fever and what we shall call "main series". Unless there's something new screaming for my attention, the main series will run from Monday to Thursday each week for somewhere between 12 and 20 episodes in total. This allows me to build a series very quickly and mitigates the risk of saves being 'sploded by Mr Sod and his Law. It also means that I can cover the games you find viewers of videotronic entertainment already like me covering more regularly and in greater depth.

The down side is that I won't finish a full map in one go. Instead, I'll keep each series as a self-contained project then revisiting each map to do more in subsequent series. Got it? Good.

What else? Automation. You've given me a ton of good feedback from the first two episodes and I'm taking it into account as the series continues. There'll be less senseless poking of the interface and more car-design-associated larking about. There's no need for anyone else to tell me that I can drive my cars in BeamNG... waddya think I shot the advert in? You'll do it anyway, such is the atmosphere of japes and banter I have cultivated and now I reap the comments I so richly deserve.

Finally, yes, Bannerlord. Set your taste barometer to "more of the same please" cos that's what you're getting.

Go about your business. I hope your spice continues to flow pleasingly.
