Early Draft: Signalis Drives Me Insane (WIP) (Patreon)

https://youtu.be/5gyu1CVC-XA 

Hello everyone!

Here is a work-in-progress draft of the Signalis video. It covers 4 out of the planned 6 chapters/layers, which is probably around 50% of the total final video, depending on rewrites. So I'd love to not only prove I'm not dead to my lovely Patrons, but also get any feedback on what's been made so far.

I have some thoughts about the draft so far (some small, some loud), but I'll keep them to myself and let the video speak without me tainting perceptions. Feedback is welcome here or in the YouTube comments, it doesn't matter either way. Chapters have also been adding for viewing convenience because oh boy, it's 57 minutes long!

If you don't know Signalis, and might want to play it, then the first two chapters are very spoiler-light. I cover the opening in some detail, and bring up the basic gameplay loops after that. So you can still dive in unspoiled after that.

It is unfortunately an incomplete video right now, so if you do know Signalis, you'll know I'm not talking about some key things here yet. Those will come in the next chapters, so if your comment begins with "Bio-" then yes, I know, we get there when we get there, thank you very much. 

I don't have an ETA for the video. I want to get it done by the end of the year, which I'd say would be easily possible based on the amount of words left in the script if this were any other game. Signalis is a unique little nightmare that manages to be affecting not just on what it does, but how it does it, and thusly the problems with talking about Signalis is less about what you want to say, but how you want to frame and deliver it to capture what's so great about it. Simply dryly recounting events scarcely does justice to what's at play here.

But I should go before I get lost in the whirlpool of thinking about thinking about Signalis. Thank to everyone for your support and patience, and I'll be in touch soon.

Stay safe!
