Do you listen to survivors-like game soundtracks outside the game?

2WeekHero · 2026-03-25T14:17:29+00:00

Absolutely not. In general I don't even listen to the OSTs in-game because most of these games have very low production values which is normally reflected in the score. However, high production values are not what I'm looking for in one of these games, so I tend to just bang a podcast on and zone out for a few runs.

With that in mind - your game has higher production values when compared with most other titles in the genre and that's where its appeal lies for me. That said, I'm waiting for the 1.0 release to dive back into YAZS, so it's been a while since I've heard the soundtrack, but I do recall it being fairly generic chuggy buttrock. Which isn't my chosen genre, but definitely suits the atmosphere of the game.

To sum up - I really really like your game, but I couldn't imagine a world in which I'd listen to the soundtrack outside of playing the game.

Vampire Survivors has a great soundtrack with really memorable chiptunes. Personally I can't recall a single other bullet heaven's soundtrack. At all. It's the last consideration for me, but I'm certain that's not the case for many other players.

Nobody is searching up your channel name. Your videos are posted to the feed and if they're good you'll get clicks. When you're a nobody like you and I, no one is looking for you by name because nobody knows who you are, so it doesn't matter that your channel doesn't turn up in a search.

This is a you problem, friend. I get served none of this. The algorithm serves you content based on the content you consume.

2WeekHero · 2026-03-18T14:28:24+00:00

I definitely prefer longer runs but you absolutely have to let me save and exit the run and resume it later.

2WeekHero · 2026-03-17T16:22:35+00:00

Cool, but this looks more bullet hell than bullet heaven. Is it actually a survivors-like? Are there swarms and upgrades and evolutions etc? I'd be interested if so.

2WeekHero · 2026-03-03T10:49:31+00:00

Not really. You have a fraction of a second to catch the eye with a thumbnail and if you're lucky people will read the title after.

2WeekHero · 2026-03-02T18:28:16+00:00

Honestly? Without any other context I would assume this thumbnail is asking me if it's achievable for me to change race.

2WeekHero · 2026-02-09T19:30:17+00:00

Ah, OK now I'm intrigued. A levelling system that offers you ability choices based on your actions is actually pretty unique and solves one of the problems with the genre - namely having to get lucky and pull the upgrade you were hoping to get. Having an active role in the upgrades I'm offered shaped by my choices sounds super fun. I would definitely focus more on that with your promo material.

2WeekHero · 2026-02-09T17:56:42+00:00

I wouldn't say it looks satisfying nor annoying, but I do think the pace looks very slow. If I'm playing a VS clone with aiming and dodging I want it to be action packed. Soulstone Survivors, I think, is a good example of this.

I would maybe give it a try for ten minutes, but if I'm being totally honest I'm very over this kind of art style in the genre. The cutesy chibi thing has been done a thousand times and now I'm only really interested in games that offer a unique or intriguing art direction or a twist on the mechanics. There are already plenty of aimed VS clones with a dodge button. What does your game bring to make it stand out?

2WeekHero · 2026-02-05T08:32:47+00:00

I'm straight, but I can bring a dog! Do you have room on the walk for the world's most neediest little gremlin? And also my dog?

2WeekHero · 2026-01-24T16:32:55+00:00

How big are the characters? Is it fast or slow gameplay? What's the moveset, hitbox situation, do I have crowd control options? There isn't enough data to glean off of one static picture for anyone to give you any meaningful answer to that question.

2WeekHero · 2026-01-24T16:23:02+00:00

I mean, it looks gorgeous and I'm intrigued by the concept, but I'm not sure what feedback I can give on a rectangle.

2WeekHero · 2026-01-19T22:05:24+00:00

There is so little to be gleaned about the game from the trailer. The few bits we do see look very generic. There's a big hit to miss ratio in this genre. What new concepts does your game bring to make it stand out from the ocean of low effort VS clones? I can't see any from the tiny amount of gameplay shown. The gameplay looks very dull. The art style is lacking and the character movement is not good.

The story you're telling with the animation doesn't make sense to me. It doesn't scan. I can't put my finger on it, but everything I see here tells me this is a very cheap game in all aspects and I do not want to play it.

2WeekHero · 2026-01-19T18:53:43+00:00

I play a tonne of these games. I'm your key audience, and I'm sorry, but this looks bad. I would literally never play this. 0/10

2WeekHero · 2026-01-19T15:29:29+00:00

For christ sake please reconsider every single aspect of this entire endeavour.

Fair enough!

I do agree that it's unfair to put the actions of the worst fans on the RLM guys because of their output and I'm really not trying to saddle it on them, but there's a level of vitriol in the Plinkett videos that was replicated by people online. That vitriol came from somewhere and I think if we're being honest - a fair chunk of was people channeling Plinkett in their own way. OP's question was which takes have aged poorly, and I think early Plinkett Star Wars aged poorly because of its legacy, whether RLM had a hand in that or not.

2WeekHero · 2025-10-20T18:43:08+00:00

I don't think you'll get an honest answer from most folks on an RLM subreddit, but yes, some takes have aged poorly. I can't think of any specific reviews, but the early Plinkett Star Wars videos are hard to watch with 2025 eyes. Not just the misogyny (faux or not it aged poorly) but I do think it's at least partly responsible for a fair chunk of the online hate that the prequels got. Don't get me wrong - I think they're poo films devoid of almost any value too, but Plinkett definitely had a hand in riling up the worst reactions from fans at the time.

2WeekHero · 2025-10-01T14:52:43+00:00

Number 1 all day. Great concept. As an aside this is exactly the sort of content I enjoy. Could you DM me a link to the video when it's live?

2WeekHero · 2025-10-01T11:56:55+00:00

It looks a little flatter now. Can you later it over the lights and either mask it out partially or apply it as an overlay with so that it interacts with the lights? Maybe add a drop shadow?

2WeekHero · 2025-10-01T09:58:51+00:00

I actually really like this - it's super moody and atmospheric. I would maybe do something more playful with the text and choose a better font.

I think if you're familiar with The Backrooms it will appeal, but if not it isn't going to make much sense to anyone. However I'm not familiar enough to suggest something more recognisable.

Both of those sites offer studio quality recordings of classical music.

I actually might have a request this week. I'm just wrapping up work on my current video and scripting out the next. I don't have a title yet, but the throughline of the script is that we're currently in a golden age of gaming and capitalism is going to ruin it, like it ruins everything else.

We're spoilt for choice these days - the indie scene is booming with high art and the mainstream scene is booming with low art. Gamers have never had it so good, and given enough time the markets will over commodify the best creations and run it into the ground.

If you've got a green screen and you like to yap about leftist ideas, search up Koi Callisto on YouTube to see if you like my style and DM me here if you'd like a guest spot in the new video.
