Projects Update: Recovering Again and Shadow Drop Shenanigans (Patreon)

Hello everyone. I hope you're doing well.

I'm recovering well from the Post-Dead Space 3 illness, different from the Covid I had Pre-Dead Space 3. Just a cold this time, but has left me coughy and congested like no-one's business. Almost out of the tunnel and can get back to recording once again.

Happy with how the Dead Space 3 video turned out and has been received. Though it came together pretty quickly considering its size, there was a lot of work put into it (the neco arc section was... a nightmare), so it's nice to see it's doing nicely. Not comparing it to algorithm surfing wonders like Iron Lung and OW2 anyway, but I never want to expect such results. It'd be unhealthy.

So, with that out of the way, what's next?

I mentioned before that I'd be doing a video on Metal Gear Rising. That's still happening sometime in February, but the video is getting a bit bigger than expected and might be a little longer away than I'd originally planned. Hard to say when, but it's nowhere near Signalis levels so that's nice. 

Signalis, by the way, is getting some rewrites. Rewrites that are taking a little while because I change one part of the script and like five other sections need changing. I think I might go all in on finishing that once the current crop of projects are out of the way, whether or not I can definitively say I understand all of it or not.

So then I can say that the next video will be on Hi-Fi Rush, the shadow dropped Tango Gameworks/Bethesda title from Microsoft's Developer Direct. Rhythm Character Action? Count me in. I'm sold. From the director of The Evil Within 2? Money has already flown from my wallet for this.

The script for that is already nearly finished, and it'll probably just be a little video this time. Like 10-15 minutes I'd wager. That'll be a welcome break after all these big projects keep bumping me around.

I didn't realise this before, but there's another Steam Demo Fest coming up in February, so expect a video on that too. I can take a few days off and see what I can find in there. Considering the past two demo fests let me discover Signalis and Deadeye Deepfake Simulacrum, I want to keep doing these videos. Besides being nice relaxing breaks where I can be loose, have fun with the script and the editing, there's all sorts of indie games out there laying under the radar that deserve to be highlighted.

That's all for now. I still need more painkillers. Stay safe, and have a good one!
