Dec. Production Update & VOD of My Game of 2025 - Look Outside (Patreon)

Hey there Skele-fam!

Back with another exclusive video for ya'll awesome supporters! Right after Halloween, I streamed a bit of Look Outside, a game I’ve gushed about before. I even put it on the UDUG poll where it did not win, haha. But they the game’s final patch surprised-dropped right before Halloween and I wanted to show more people this amazing horror gem now that it’s in its finished state! (Nearly , finished, the solo-developer has since released a couple small patches for little fixes since then). But I was distracted by the Splatterhouse VOD that I recorded the next day and forgot to post this one!

Enjoy the stream! It’s gonna have some light spoilers for early-game stuff but Look Outside has ballooned into a pretty huge game since releasing in March, this stream only scratches the surface the wonderful and horrific world of Look Outside. Here’s a link to the steam page, this is just a recommendation of a game I really loved, no kickback from me or anything I just want people to check this game out,

Moving on, production update!

I am very thankfully not doing any traveling this holiday. Last year was exhausting, I’m happy to be able to keep my vow of not traveling this year.

I’m back to working on the Yooka-Replaylee review. It’s morphed into a Punching Weight since I’ve missed the launch window. I was very lucky to get a review code from Playtonic but they weren’t able to get one until right before because I needed an Xbox code. Not sure what happened seemed like maybe on MicroSoft’s end? But this all would unfortunately coincide with a bunch of junk with lease back in October. Getting that sorted ate into my time and it fell to the back burner.

So instead of a straight review, it’s now a Punching Weight, “The Most Unnecessary (and Impressive) Remake I’ve Ever Played” or something like that. Because, while it is a stunning improvement, I don’t think anyone asked for this! So they had a successful Kickstarter but the game sucked. And hey, that’s just how it goes! Impossible Lair, the sequel, was great, and they’ve spent that time since publishing a lot a great little indie game (a few I’ve bought and enjoyed)! Why would you risk making the same bad game TWICE?? It paid off in the end, but the absolute balls of Playtonic!! And then they specifically reached out to me, because I was so negative on the original, but they thought that even I’d like it! And I did!

I’ve captured a ton of footage of the new game, even went back and played the old game again. I have it mostly written, just needs structure and connective tissue. It is unreal how much of an improvement Replaylee is over the original! I can’t say if it hangs with DK Banaza as a truly revelatory platformer, but on its own terms it’s phenomenal.

And a few crazy recent happenings in unreleased retro games. The Splatterhouse RPG, Splatter World, a game the world didn’t even know existed until just last year, was unearthed and then fan translated into english a few weeks ago. And that might make for a good stream! But also just DAYS ago, a completed version of the Resident Evil port for GameBoy Color was found! Maybe I could make a Symphony of the Night Tiger Game.Com style video about that?? Or at least stream that for Patreon too?

But I bring those up because I’ve gotten a few people poking about both Splatter World and the final build Resident Evil GBC, and VOD streams of either one or both of those will be your UDUG video(s) for December! How does that sound? Let me know which one of those sounds good! And then we’ll be right back to polls and community voting in January. And some surprise Yooka-Laylee love for the holidays!

That’s it for now, thanks for the support as always! I’ll see you real soon and stay warm out there!-UD
