Hey everyone!

This will probably be the last Playlist video of this kind for 2018.

I’ll likely do the December episode as a game of the year wrap-up for y’all. And then in 2019, I want to mess with the format a bit. It’s getting a bit stale, and I think I could make it more useful. So, watch this space, and any ideas are of course welcome. Chuck them in the comments below!

Anyway, without further ado. Let’s talk about some games....

Playlist (November 2018)

This format has always reminded me of 'Games you might have not tried' from Extra Credits, which is a video I love but I don't think I need more than once or twice a year. So that would be my proposal frequency for your format. On what to do on a monthly basis that stays relevant and fits the concept you try to achieve, I think you enter Podcast territory. As I am not a big fan of podcast myself, although I am sure the community would love them, articles like the latest one you shared 'Brain Dump' would be a good monthly substitution.

I look forward to seeing these every month. I hope they don't stop.

On Bravely Default -- which I highly recommend you take a look at, Mark -- I suspect you'll come away with a lot of opinions about what every JRPG should borrow from it moving forward re: time investment required. I will say that the conditions for the best ending and the conditions for the "bad" ending absolutely should have been reversed, though to say more would be to spoil one of the best reveals the entire genre has to offer. Looking forward to your take on it!

John Micale

I've found so many gems because of these videos. I enjoy that they're short and sweet, and because I trust your judgement it removes a lot of the friction I tend to have when choosing a new game to play. I say don't change it up too much!

Matt Cramp

Bravely Default is going to be a hard choice if you're looking for a JRPG that respects your time, the ability to turn off random encounters not withstanding. I'd suggest The World Ends With You if you didn't check that out.

I think the precursor to the various marble games was ultimately Marble Madness in the early eighties. The arcade cabinet used a trackball as a control for the Marble. I can't say there are many games that play better with a trackball, but Marble Madness is one of them.

Katja Petrovic

I would also highly recommend Bravely Default with the caveat that you should look up the conditions for the different endings. I don't want to reveal too much but I'll just say that once the game starts asking you to repeat things ad nauseum.... you can end the game at that point (I didn't realise this at first as it's not made obvious). Actually the second caveat is that the whole bikini beauty contest thing is….weird.

I'd recommend Radiant Historia as a jrpg to try. The battle mechanics and the whole multiple times lines thing are pretty interesting. I'm only a few hours in, so don't know how well they'll pull of the bulk of the game, but so far it's been good.

James

If you're problem with DQXI is that you don't use enough of your moveset (which seems absurd to me) you will hate bravely default! You spend a good half of that game using the same moves on auto-battle because you're functionally invulnerable and only a handful of bosses have mechanics that require any alternate strategy.

Matt Hauke

I enjoy the playlist a lot, I prefer it when you introduce lesser known titles or indie games. I feel like you cover AAA titles quite regularly or simply in your updates on Patreon. Maybe they can reflect the month's videos? Like a playlist of games that do skill tress exceptionally well? Or maybe they can just be rolling themes..

Theo Gerome

The playlist is probably my go-to place for finding smaller titles at this point. I like getting a taste of what else there is offered beyond the world of AAA, and I think you do a fantastic job of highlighting good and interesting bits of smaller titles, even in a condensed format. I don’t know if I’ve ever regretted one of my pickups inspired by the Playlist. I understand if you want to try to mix it up some, but I still think this format offers a lot of good as well.

OSW Review

Hey Mark! Great vid as always 🙂 I know you're unhappy with the current format, but I love hearing about games you've played this month that generally don't get a lot of coverage. I like that it's a much looser video editing format so it's not a huge time-sink, and it's engaging to hear your quick-fire discerning thoughts on a mystery-box of games. I love it so much, I started a series for my own Patrons using this template. Without GMTK Playlist, I'd never have played games like Her Story, so I'm personally hoping the series to continue or not change too much. Anywoo, I know you're keen to change, so would you consider doing a new, different series that is more creatively fulfilling, and offload the video editing to a third party? (That way u could do both?) That's just a pipe dream, you should do whatever makes you happy, just thought I'd voice my opinion. I have some editors to recommend if it's something u'd pursue 🙂 all the best, jay

What makes bravely default interesting isn't the combat, but the character building. Like building a deck of cards where figuring out the synergies is the fun. If you're going to play it anyway, I'd suggest the second one. It's flat out better, and the only thing wrong with it is that bravely default already exists, so it ends up being redundant, but still the better version. The characters just have more character in that game. Dragon quest is absolutely archaic, and If you have no faith that character, charm and polish can compensate for the simplistic system, then you might as well drop it. I thought myself done with turnbased RPGs, but I was still endeared by it, and it somehow only got better.

Manuel Alcoba

I really like the hidden gems feature of these videos. Regarding changes, I would suggest making they by topic even If the games are from some months ago. If they went under the radar that's not a problem anyway. Think of playing games during the year and whenever you feel you have two or three games that address a similar feature then do the video. This is more in line with GMTK in general and gives a more cohesive and original view to the videos, being also a departure of the podcast "This is what I have played" style.

Andreas Ragen Ayal

I'm new around here (only been a patron for a day), but I have some thoughts on what to do with the playlist format. I personally began watching GMTK videos to learn how to be a better dev (I do it as a hobby). I personally feel it would be really awesome if Mark would look at some of the games we, the community, would be interested in showcasing and give feedback on that. Maybe hafe a community games paylist, with games we have developed.
