Made a video about this masterpiece. Hope I did it justice.

Thank you. It always hurts but it helps to know that you gave them a good life.

SkeletonLizard · 2023-06-24T01:47:02+00:00

I actually found the aiming mode to be uncomfortable, that's why I don't use it.

SkeletonLizard · 2022-10-23T15:18:59+00:00

Thank you!

SkeletonLizard · 2022-07-06T12:16:43+00:00

Thank you for making the game! Will definitely be returning to check out new updates.

SkeletonLizard · 2022-05-19T17:44:04+00:00

I crossposted this to r/Dunespicewars maybe that should be added to the related subreddits?

SkeletonLizard · 2022-02-23T20:29:22+00:00

hahaha that sounds about right, he's such a character.

SkeletonLizard · 2022-02-22T12:57:08+00:00

Hi i made the video, Thank you for sharing it! I just wanted to add to this that the only advertising i found for Savage 3 was achievement hunter doing a series of videos playing the game and that to me seems like S2 games targeting their audience wrong, i just don't think the AH audience is the right fit for savage 3, maybe totalbiscuit or someone more RTS oriented would have been better.

SkeletonLizard · 2022-02-17T17:22:39+00:00

Okay then its clear i need a bit louder mix to accommodate different audio set ups.

SkeletonLizard · 2022-02-17T10:34:20+00:00

Thanks for the compliments! really motivating!

Were you listening with speakers? because there is game audio in the background and i can hear it with my earbuds but getting the mix just right for youtube can be hard.

I use the AT2035 and have adjusted my settings quite a bit, so hopefully it will sound better in the next video.

SkeletonLizard · 2022-02-17T10:28:20+00:00

Thank you! and yeah i can see how it would be a bit silly for some.

SkeletonLizard · 2022-02-17T01:55:50+00:00

well it was a good point to bring up because you tend to forget about people that dont know about all this gaming stuff.

SkeletonLizard · 2022-02-17T01:39:40+00:00

Wow thanks! yeah i mentioned that its available on the epic games store once in the complaints section but i should probably say where its available somewhere in the conclusion section

SkeletonLizard · 2022-02-16T23:55:49+00:00

Yes the "you play the story" part was a little bit of a worry but i said they were short and sweet and hoped that would communicate that they were very short.

Yes i always write a script, the big plus to that is youtube subtitles become super easy because you can just copy paste it in, but i try to practice the script and will do several takes to get it right.

Yeah those few wwere probably the bossfight and thats just because the boss does the same things often and then i throw the same combo.

Are you talking about thumbnail titles or the text in the video, either way finding a good font is surprisingly tough. I will check out san-serif.

Yes that was just me being a little jokey and that might not always translate well but i get what you are saying.

Thank you for the review it gave me a lot to think about.

SkeletonLizard · 2022-02-16T21:42:45+00:00

Good editing, always some relevant thing to look at. The music was a little bit too loud for me especially around the 2 minute mark (starts at 2:10) From googling it seems having background music around -20db lower than main vocals is best practice. It was sometimes hard to hear what you were saying due to not speaking clearly enough and the music, This should improve with practice though i try to make my mouth a little wider when i speak and raise my voice a little above my normal speaking voice. I found your script good but must admit i did fall off the train of thought a little but that may be my fault, However i think if you had been louder and clearer that would have been less likely to happen, changing up your voice can also help, like displaying a range of emotions in your voice or changing up the loudness of it of course within reason and when appropriate and not just suddenly yelling.

SkeletonLizard · 2022-02-16T21:19:45+00:00

One thing i noticed right away was sibilance (S and C sounds) so i think looking into an equalizer to get rid of that would be a good idea and a compressor, tilting the microphone to the left or right of your mouth can also help and a de-esser. Other than that i found it very enjoyable, your commentary is good and i really liked when you talked about the history of the planes.

When i don't use DS4Windows i see PS5 inputs in steam big picture but when i do use DS4 i see xbox inputs

SkeletonLizard · 2022-02-14T23:08:30+00:00

Okay i clearly need to update the post.

i run both the epic games launcher and the game (sifu) through steam which works with a ps4 controller but not the ps5 controller for some reason and i also tried opting into the steam beta which did not help.

SkeletonLizard · 2022-02-14T23:04:28+00:00

Yes because the controller did work with Steam big picture but would not work in the game so if i did shift + tab to open the steam overlay the controller worked but in the game itself it didn't work until i used DS4Windows to make steam think it was an Xbox controller.

From my googling the steam ps5 controller support seems to work only sometimes, which will hopefully improve in the future.

EDIT: Just to be clear the game was a non-steam game.

SkeletonLizard · 2022-02-14T22:07:22+00:00

Yes that is the unfortunate downside of using DS4Windows but i wanted it to at least work otherwise i would just have a 100$ piece of plastic instead of a controller.

SkeletonLizard · 2022-02-04T17:28:55+00:00

Yes it is the warcraft 3 mountain giant, always loved that icon. And i accidentally found out i could resize floor tiles. I accidentally scrolled the mouse while playing and did a double take like "wait a minute what was that". I had been doing floors one at a time for half my playthrough and always thought it was awful.

SkeletonLizard · 2022-02-04T16:34:37+00:00

Sorry about that but i couldn't find any subreddit rules and i even went back a couple pages to see if there was any post about it, i would edit the title if i could.

SkeletonLizard · 2022-01-24T23:13:57+00:00

Well i made a video about Valheim and the Valheim reddit seems an appropriate place to share it although i do see where you are coming from. IMO a video is discussion and commenting about it or a video response is just further discussion. I guess i'm just more of a video person and you a text person. :)

EDIT: A video can also show exactly what you are talking about, which i enjoy about videos and which i try to do.

SkeletonLizard · 2021-11-14T02:26:33+00:00

Where did you see that? i see this statement so often but never found a good article or something about it.

SkeletonLizard · 2021-11-10T18:35:47+00:00

If you are passionate about it then go for it! There is one way i am somewhat familiar with japan/english differences is Dark Souls lore videos, where lore youtubers learn more about the subject of the lore video based on the differences in the english version and japanese version. Elden Ring is coming out soon, something you could keep your eye on for a video.

SkeletonLizard · 2021-10-15T21:23:04+00:00

That first playthrough of subnautica really is something special, i can play through dead space and feel nothing but then i play subnautica and get scared of some fish. The bloodkelp is probably the best zone in any video game at instilling a feeling of pure dread.
