Arin's Let's Play/Try Thread

[Arin]

After playing around with Camtasia Studio for a bit, I realized that I should actually be doing something worth it. So I came to the conclusion of trying my hand at the infamous Let's Play/Try scene. I'll admit I have never had to do this before, so I'll probably be nervous as hell. But it's pretty nice to review games in the format of video, and I've always been drawn to it, and now it's my chance to make it shine.

With that being said, though, if you want some feedback for your game, I'm not going to say no. Just be sure to:

--Leave a post here with a link to your game.

--Specify what kind of platform it is (RPG Maker XP, VX, Ace, and MV (EDIT: I'm willing to make an exception for IGMC since I refreshed myself that IGMC is any platform, but this will be the only time)) so I can get the appropriate RTPs.

--Original content only. If there's something I've already seen or played, I won't play it again. This way, I'm not speedrunning through the game and both the developer and I can fix bugs as they come. Plus it's not as exciting when you've already been spoiled about what's going to happen. There might be some leeway to this rule if I haven't seen an entire game yet, or if I haven't cared enough/haven't had the time to finish the game.

--NO FANGAMES. Just....don't. They all suck. And you know it.

--NO BACKSEAT GAMING! A.K.A. DON'T TELL ME HOW TO PLAY YOUR GAME. LET ME FIGURE IT OUT FOR MYSELF. THAT PISSES ME OFF.

--Please tell me before hand if your game is a demo or a complete game. Demos of games are considered Let's Tries (unless they're mere moments away from actual release), and complete games will get a Let's Play. (There is a difference between the two.)

--Just to be warned, I can get pretty intense with my critique, and if your game looks like there was no care put into it, I won't care in return. If you can't handle criticism/ranting very well, look somewhere else.

Just to make sure that I'm not swamped with games that I can't complete, I'll only allow 5 games to be LP'd at any one time. This makes it easier on me because it's organized and that I don't forget whose game belongs to who. The list will go at the top of the thread.

Lastly, leave a thank you. You have no idea how much a simple thank you makes me feel enthused.

I think I'll have to let you play my IGMC game when it's done. Harsh critique is the "tough love" that absolutely made graphic design studies the best two years of my life. My teacher would figuratively punch us in the gut with critique—constructive if it was obvious we had tried, not so much if it was obvious we'd been partying and rubbing glue together on paper—and it really helps you to survive real world creative jobs.

... sorry about the rant. But I look forward to you—hopefully—playing my game soon :3

My reaction at seeing Nothing But the Third on the list.

I was going to post a LP request, so this is fitting. It would be awesome to see a NBtT LP.

You're in luck~ Check the OP for the update.

 

[??????]

I will also have to link my IGMC game here when its finished. Honest critique is something that can be hard to find sometimes.

Sometimes people are just too nice in the opinions :/

 

[Casia]

That was really entertaining to watch! You really got the hang of it while you played. You also made some interesting observations I'll surely take into account. The game is complete but probably I'll post an improved version in the future.

Looks great, looking forward to future episodes!

Update for Episode 2 of "Nothing but the Third".

I apologize for the yellow line on the left side of the recording, I didn't quite position Camtasia's recording window correctly. >_< I'm also going to be doing uploads every night from now on, so keep checking here continually~!

 

[Arin]

Update for Episode 3. Finally got to record!

I don't know what happened, but I didn't set up my mic settings right and so it picked up using my laptop's internal mic. Aside from it being really quiet, it actually sounds better! Let me know what I should do with that, because I don't know which to use, my headset mic (which I used in the first two videos) or the laptop internal mic.

If any of you have entries for the IGMC, let me know as well! I'm anxious to start playing those; it might become a new favourite game of mine if it's good enough. ^_^

 

[Casia]

I liked the previous mic better, it takes some effort to hear the new one.

Also, I have no idea why the new version mixed up the event with the grumpy guy. Nothing regarding that event was touched, so it seems pretty weird. Sorry about that. :/

Update for Episode 4.

;-;

Just ;-;

 

[Arin]

Update for Episode 5.

I feel like I'm drawing closer and closer towards the end of the game.

Hello there! I would love it if you did a "Let's Try" for my work in progress. Game Demo is about 5-6 hours long, and about half way through completion. 

It is a RPG Maker VX ACE game, and the download link is in my signature (or you can click the thread link if you want more information on the game itself).

Thank you!

Added it to the list.

Also, update for Ep. 6 of "Nothing But The Third". I actually like where this is going. It wasn't this episode, like I was planning, but I definitely have a guttural feeling that the next episode is going to be the final one. So do what the vid says and stick around.

Update for Episode 1 of "Demon Hunter"

Did I mention I love Bianca? Except for when she's being a whiny dummy, she's awesome.

 

[Arin]

Update for Episode 7 of "Nothing But The Third".

I tried my best to finish it in one go, but it didn't quite work out in the end.

Hey Arin, feel like killing yourself doing a lets play of Densetsu no Kusoge? It's an IGMC game made with VXAce, and it IS completed, but... Let's see how far you get.

Really, *****?

 

[Fernyfer775]

If you love Bianca now...just wait and see, muahahaha! XD

PS - I am now 100% certain you have an old demo downloaded. Many of the current tileset, grammar, balancing, and straight up features have been changed/fixed. BUT! Story has remained the same, so you should still get the overall same experience from it.

Hey Arin/Charlotte. Want to play The Vendor, my IGMC entry? Here's the info on it: http://contest.rpgmakerweb.com/game/view/id/486

I'd love to watch someone play my game live~
