Volume posted:Oh hell yeah! I could never beat this game cause of one boss I got stuck on and was super disappointed that this wasn't already LPed. Yeah, I'll definitely add in line breaks between portrait-less dialog. Normally when I put a portrait up twice, it's meant to represent a pause or a shift in focus. Like here: quote:Scared Guy: Brrr, scary! The ghost must be eyeing the treasure that's stored deep within the Church! I did it because he suddenly changed the topic, and I thought it would look weird if it was all one line. I can stop doing it if that would be better, though.

Maybe just the next line would look okay? I do think it would look off if it was all on the same line.

When I have topic shifts like that, I usually just post the screenshot that starts the new topic. It also helps break up the text a bit. Don't have to do it that way, of course, but that's one way to handle stuff like that.

I use screenshots to emphasize important lines, indicate when a character enters a scene, an action that doesn't translate well to text for whatever reason, or just to break up 8-10 portrait lines in a row. It's one of those things you just have to get a feeling for when you need to do so.

Alright, I'll try breaking up lines like that with screenshots. Is there anything else, or am I pretty much good to go aside from that?

Because the sandcastle seems to double as a "let's talk about the state of let's play" thread I wanted to ask, do we have any, I guess you would call them, reformed youtube let's players? Like someone who used to just poo poo out videos on Youtube, came here, got yelled at, and started putting effort into it? I ask because someone made a comment a few pages ago about a lot of people who come to this thread, poo poo out a bunch of crappy videos, then when they receive some fair criticism, they state they will follow the advice in a similar way and are never to be seen again. Is our advice doing nothing more than to scare them back to their "like,comment subscribe" echo chambers on Youtube?

I don't think I've seen anyone else actually learn from their time spent here; but then, most people coming from YouTube really just aren't looking to learn to begin with.

LP Metro: 2033 (subtitles) After playing Metro: Last Light, I wanted to play through 2033 again. I've done videos that had commentary before but that was when I didn't care about doing things proper. Rather than make the same mistakes, I want to try a subtitle-video LP this time. My intent is to have a light to medium amount of subtitles, popping up only when I think I have something interesting to write rather than plaster the video with text. Thanks in advanced for your suggestions.

I never did scarecams or screaming and I didn't panhandle for likes and subcribers but I did make a handful of blind LPs and I never had much of a quality standard. I just played through games and for a time I made Minecraft series (admittedly I still like that series because it was at a time when Minecraft was still budding). I had always known about SA, though, and the standards set here. It just took me a while to register and finally attempt to posting something of a good standard. I now have two LPs going that are Sandcastle Approved™. I still post some general content to my old channel for the sake of long time viewers and it's usually just co-op videos with my good friend, or some random gameplay videos from whatever but I don't do it with the intent on gaining subscribers or money.

http://lpix.org/sslptest/index.php?id=12447 Thread Title: Let's Play Fate of the World! (SSLP Audience Participation)  What is Fate of the World? Fate of the World is a game that was made in 2011 created with projections by actual scientific models about the coming issues that our world will have to face in our own lifetimes and beyond. Drought, famine, rising sea levels, energy crises, political instability, rising temperatures, nuclear proliferation and of course, managing public opinion. All of these will have to be taken into account so that the world has a chance at surviving (at least without going all Mad Max) in the coming years. How does the game work? The game is turn based and is played by using cards which act as policies. These policies and their specific effects are listed on the second post. Most of these cards unlock other cards which can be either be implemented as one time social policies (with varying popularity), can be implemented over and over again or unlock other more secretive cards like black ops, misinformation, regime change, covert sterilization and gene plagues. I will be running this game's second scenario, "Fuel Crisis", which has a total of 20 turns (100 years) as my first game and after that I'll see if I have the stamina for more or not as they will be longer. "Fuel Crisis" as the name implies deals with the sudden lack of fuels and the possible impending disaster of global financial crisis in the short term and the implications of climate change in the long term. Audience Participation? Yes, there will be audience participation. In the normal game a single person runs all environmental and social initiatives under the organization known as GEO. In reality this person is nothing more than a figurehead as nations will probably never give up sovereignty to another organization. The real power lies with six individuals who act as representatives for their regions. The six of you (the people I choose) get to tell Mr. Jameson (me) what to do. There are twelve regions to govern and while I don't want to hand off each region to a single person (as six is already an exercise in cat herding), I will be letting six people manage two regions apiece. Each of these has their own strengths and weaknesses. The first world is able to maintain cruise control far more easily than a place like Africa (especially North Africa) which are in desperate need of aid. While China has a dynamic economy it is easily the biggest polluter because of its massive dependence on coal. India has massive social and structural problems. So does the Middle East, but they have access to oil wealth and oil reserves and have negotiating power when oil shortages hit. South Asia and Latian America are poor but stable, though Latin America also has untapped oil sitting in its ground. Oceania, North America and Europe and Japan are wealthy first world nations. Russia as always is that weird, paranoid middle child that isn't quite rich, but isn't quite poor either. It does have plenty of oil riches though. I will split the pool of money that I get six ways and each person will be able to run his or her area as he or she wills. You can push towards an ecological utopia, push forward with scientific research, maintain the status quo and rake in cash, run a dystopian police state or any combination of the above provided that you have the cash to do so. I'm looking for the regional "representatives" of the following places: 1. North America and Latin America 2. Europe and Russia 3. North Africa and South Africa 4. The Middle East and India 5. China and South Asia 6. Oceania and Japan I'm looking for people who are interested in talking to other players, negotiating, loving each other over (or not), etc. It isn't first come first serve. The people who look the most interested and have the time to play are more likely get the roles. Anything Else? Yes. This game is pretty drat hard. I don't expect to win on the first go around and perhaps not even on the second or third. It is possible that we will never win a single game. This is okay. New players of this game are going to lose a lot. I lost over twenty times before I won anything past the tutorial scenario and then only by the skin of my teeth. Again, this is okay as it can take a long time to lose and you can have fun in the mean time. On the surface the game looks easy, but behind all of that are dozens of tiny modifiers that shift behind the scenes. Modifiers that even I can't always see. For example: Want to stop burning coal? You can, but you risk massive energy shortages and financial collapse unless you can absorb those energy needs elsewhere. On top of that you have to manage public opinion. If you run out of public opinion points (represented by hearts) you lose control of your country for a few turns and lose all of your agents (which cost money and allow you to put down cards in the first place). Luckily you'll have a backup region. That is unless you screw up both. Don't do that. I may implement some rules in case you go down one path in particular deep black ops, but as long as you have one other person in the game who likes you then you will be allowed to do as you like. Keep in mind that if you all go for the Blade Runner world there is a chance that there are world riots and that the game will end. This progressively goes away with time, but if you do too much too fast you may end the game by accident. So don't exterminate entire populations, or at least don't everyone do it at once. Money may be shared. Again, everyone gets the same amount. Exactly one sixth of the current GEO funds. If you have excess cash at the end of the turn you may share it with another player. I will not enforce any loans that are due. Lend at your own risk. Money may also be used to buy favors from other players in case you need them. These favors are all informal and you may keep or renege on them as you will. This is all between players. Any unspent money does not get banked. It is split six ways at the end of next turn. Use it or lose it. Finally, I don't expect all of you to do the same thing. If you work together for the greater good you may have a better chance of winning, but if you want to do your own thing you will be allowed to do so. Players are always free to apply pressure or negotiate with each other, but if you want to go rogue you are completely allowed to do so. I am going to be completely hands off, though I will warn you if you are at risk for losing your region or prematurely ending the game. Feel free to ask questions and I will try to answer. I will give you a five year report of your potential actions if asked but only as if all other regions stayed the same, so it will be a projection and therefor not perfect. I politely ask for no spoilers. The game often plays the same in the short term, but in the long term I continue to stumble across new events and technologies even after playing through the game more than one hundred times. Not everyone has played this before and I want people to experience that as for all of its faults I adore this game. I want you to as well. Post Rate I'll try to get a post out every two to three days. This will provide for some cross talk between players in the thread and decision making and negotiating time if necessary before I call for final actions. The first game will run for 20 turns (the equivalent of 100 years), so this will mean somewhere between one and two months. If you don't post I'll manage a turn for you. If you miss two posts I will hand your regions off to a new glorious leader.  If you are out of town or need a sudden break just let me know and I'll try to work with you. Just don't drop everything without telling me.Work together and save the world or stand alone and destroy it. Six of you will decide!  Second Post (The informational one which lists the current state of each country and any descriptions of unlocked cards.)  Cards!Unlocked Cards. As more cards get unlocked I will add to this list. This will give a quick description as to what each card is called, how much it costs, how long it takes to implement and a quick description of what it does. Agents Cost: $50 Time: Five Years, works forever(ish) These are your GEO operatives in the field that oversee GEO's policies (cards). While these aren't cards they do allow you to place cards. If you don't have any agents you can't place any cards. Too many agents may be a waste as well because if you don't have the money you can't deploy the cards in the first place. Technically they last forever, but they can get murdered if the region isn't stable enough or expelled entirely if GEO loses support (and you don't get that money back). The Environmental Office Cost: $25 Time: Five Years, works forever These cards deal with food and environmental issues. Unlocks other cards. Regional Technology Office Cost: $25 Time: Five Years, works forever These cards offer technological answers to problems as well as the ability to fund research projects. Unlocks other cards. Regional Energy Office Cost: $25 Time: Five Years, works forever These cards help manage, restrict and alleviate energy problems. Unlocks other cards. Regional Welfare Office Cost: $25 Time: Five Years, works forever These cards unlock ways to deal with health, wealth and social issues. Unlocks other cards. Political Office Cost: $25 Time: Five Years, works forever These cards unlock ways to deal with security both mundane and extraordinary. Unlocks other cards. Project Cards These cards are multi-year cards that deal with issues that can't (usually) be solved in a mere five years or ongoing projects like building power sources that don't necessarily have an end date. Bid for GEO headquarters Cost: $200 Time: Five Years Pros: This unlocks certain global policies. Increases public opinion by two! Go to space, set global policies. Unlocks a number of cards over the course of a game. Cons: If GEO gets banned from this country it is game over. Also, if more than one player wants this I will flip a coin or roll a die in order to see who gets what. Commit to Nuclear Cost: $50 Time: Infinite Pros: Helps you better expand nuclear energy. Maybe even enough to switch away from dirty energy sources. Cons: You may run out of uranium. Commit to Renewables Cost: $50 Time: Very long but able to be completed. Pros: This expands wind, tidal, solar and geothermal energy sources. Free(ish) energy! Less need to rely on finite resources! Cons: Slow to complete. Protect Land, Soil and Forests Cost: $50 Time: Very long but able to be completed. Pros: Helps with reforestation projects, protects from erosion and trees help absorb carbon dioxide emissions. Cons: No real cons. It just takes time and money perhaps better spent on other more immediate things. Switch Transport to Electricity Cost: $50 Time: Variable Pros: Massively cuts back the need for oil. Cons: Massively increases the need for other sources of energy. Make sure that you have the energy before you do this. Cap and Trade Carbon Emissions Cost: $30 Time: Long but able to be completed. Pros: Causes the biggest polluters to pay more in taxes, causing there to be more efficiency in the industrial sector and less pollution. Unlocks other cards. Cons: If everyone doesn't do it industry will move to other countries and there will be no change. Coal Free Industry Cost: $50 Time: Variable (possibly very short) Pros: Coal is dirty. Stop burning coal and you stop polluting so much. Cons: If you don't have access to other sources of energy in sufficient quantities you may cause shortages in your industry. If you're unlucky you may cause a global financial meltdown. Synthetic Oils Programme Cost: $50 Time: Infinite Pros: You can subsidize plants that create synthetic fuels from coal or gas. Cons: Causes pollution and emission problems. Vegetarian Revolution Cost: $50 Time: Variable (short to never) Pros: By eliminating meat from the diet of most people you reduce the ecological impact of agriculture (less polution) and you are more resistant to famine. Cons: Depending on your region's outlook on things like climate change this will either be incredibly easy to implement or may never happen. Of course, there are ways to change the public's perception with time and money. Tobin Tax Cost: You get $100 Time: Your choice! Pros: By creating a tax on all financial transactions you can increase the world's coffers. Cons: You don't get the full $100. It is distributed six ways. Multiple regions can have this running at a single time though which cause everyone to get more money as a result. However, this will cause the loss of two support each turn. Not all regions have access to the Tobin Tax, most notable ones that are particularly poor. I will turn this on for the very first turn of the game automatically. If you want to turn this off tell me before the next turn so I can accurately tell everyone how much money they can spend. If you turn it on I will give you the first $100 to spend on your own (not including the very first turn) so I don't have to adjust everyone's money.

As one of the guys who did that LP, there is definitely room for more of a straight runthrough, especially if you're gonna show all the extras off since we managed to miss some. A thing that IS worth mentioning is that youtube especially will hit you for the terrible anime themesong and we found that we had to remove the audio in those sections. Try to watch out for that and good luck with your videos.

Hey everybody! I'm a dumb new user and already had a thread closed. :/ So hopefully I'm doing this right this time. Somebody recommended I posted here instead because I have no idea what I'm doing, so here goes. I've been on the Internet for a while and strangely never signed up for SA, so I decided to do that and wanted some feedback on a Let's Play series I've recently launched, which can be viewed here: http://gunsage.wordpress.com/category/funny/japanese-games-are-hard/ Or on youtube, whatever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usHw0iiHiMc I've only recently started this series (and just developed a sore throat), so I apologize about the roughness. Essentially it's a series where I play Japanese only games that I know absolutely nothing about (or if I know any one single thing about it, I deliberately get it wrong) and make fun of them as well as myself (mostly myself) by portraying a clearly dumb gamer that's attempting to pass himself off as a Japanese gaming "expert." So far it's just been a random selection of games. I'm not really intending to beat these titles, so I don't know if that even qualifies as a Let's Play. All the same, I would definitely appreciate feedback on this.

Like it was 5 minutes until you started walking right. ALSO, I would suggest knowing something about the game if you're going to play a game in another language, I did not enjoy you not figuring out what to do for 10 minutes. I wouldn't say that you showed me a Hard Japanese game, you showed me a game where you didn't know what you were doing for 10 minutes. Also, you have static in the background of your audio, you should really deal with that.

ApocalypseToast posted:LP Metro: 2033 (subtitles) I really think medium-low volume subtitles is the way to go for a game that relies on atmosphere the way Metro does. Additionally I believe the other LP of the game was subtitled as well and sort of took that tract. The video kept freezing for me, it would play for 30 seconds, stop, play for 30 seconds and stop completely. Not loading, just stopping. My own videos didn't have that problem, but it may be a cache thing for Chrome and not a problem with the video. gunsage posted:A boring video I would really suggest either playing the game first next time so you know what to do or choosing a game that makes use of a language you can read so it doesn't become a menu simulator. Watching this was torturous because, as it turns out, watching someone fumble through the same menus for three minutes and then try to figure out the controls for another three on top of that isn't fun.

I'm sorry, guys. It's really meant to be more sarcastic than anything. The 3x3 Eyes vid features me just dicking around, but I thought it was funny. The other vids actually feature me playing the games and commenting on them. I probably won't be able to do any more until my cold clears up, but I really enjoy making them. What I usually do with these is play them a bit without commentary to see if it's something I can even comment on at all. If it's something that's at least halfway fun that I can comment on, then I go back and do a one episode LP of it. Again, I'm not even sure that qualifies as an LP at all, as it mocks LPs in general.

So you play a game to see if you would like it, then if you do you go back and do a LP. While that is better than the alternative, you should only be LPing games that you really like and are invested in, then doing the whole game through. Short one-off videos is YouTube crap.

Isn't that great?" My sincere hope with regard to the "reforming Youtubers" mentality is that we don't even know it's happening most of the time. I have to assume that some flimsy statistical analysis would indicate that at least a few of the recent people who have shown up, posted an LP, received criticism, and worked with it to become better have already done this sort of thing elsewhere, read the forums, realized they were working to a different standard, and cleaned up their act without bragging about having done it. It's the sort of thing that would ironically give us a bit more faith in humanity if we knew it was happening.

I do question whether most of the people that have these issues have ever done any research. I mean, I understand that they might pick up the idea from YouTube, but a google search for "Let's Play" shows the results as 1. The Archive 2. Short Wikipedia article about what a SSLP/VLP is and says it came from here 3. Here So it's not like it would take them more than five minutes to figure out what the standard is for LPs. They just choose not to, I guess.

Actually, I really like LPs in general and have a few favorite LPers. There's a youtube user by the name of retsuparae that makes fun of terrible LPs, providing commentary on...their commentary. I always thought this was funny because while there are a lot of excellent LPs out there, there are also a lot of terrible ones. My thought was, from a comedic and sarcastic standpoint, do one episode LPs of different Japanese titles knowing little to no information about the game beforehand, but attempting to pass it off as I was some sort of expert. Again, I didn't mean any disrespect. What you guys do is awesome.

Out of the rest of that terrible post, I want to call this one out. That's one joke. It takes around 30 seconds from setup to punchline. Now you need to move on to another joke for the remaining 9 minutes 30 seconds of your video. No (good) comedian stretches one joke for 10 minutes. It won't work.

Find something you love and play that. Or else, you know, actually be funny. The first is probably easier. Added Space fucked around with this message at 16:06 on May 18, 2013 |

Posting a pair of sslp test posts here for feedback on a planned Crusader Kings II Game of Thrones mod SSLP. OP: http://lpix.org/sslptest/index.php?id=12456 Choosing our character: http://lpix.org/sslptest/index.php?id=12457 ( GoT/ASoIaF spoilers , though nothing that hasn't been seen or mentioned in the show already)I'm working on the post showing off the unique GoT mod mechanics now. I wanted to let people have some input into which scenario and character I roll with, so unfortunately I don't have an example update to post in the Sandcastle. If you want an idea of how the updates will be written, Thanquol's Flamboyant Schemers CKII LP is basically the model -- mostly narrative from the perspective of a character, walking through the various events with screenshots, and non-narrative summary and audience choices at the end. This is my first LP, so thanks in advance for any advice/suggestions/criticism.

gunsage posted:The 3x3 Eyes vid features me just dicking around, but I thought it was funny. You thought wrong. Seriously, none of that was funny. At all. EDIT: escalator dropdown, just pick a random character and play for a few years to make a test post, then start over when you make your thread. I know that I will read the hell out of that LP if it's decently written. Moon Slayer fucked around with this message at 17:06 on May 18, 2013 |

I love that retsupurae guy! A recommendation for you: check out some commentary by a man known as Rifftrax, as well. Also, that Chip And Ironicus fellow has some good stuff he's done. These are some of my favorite singular people.
