Tentative schedule for tomorrow. I've been busy frontloading as much work as possible all day, and will bust my ass tomorrow morning to finish it up so I can make this time. If it's a little later than scheduled, please be patient.

We call that realistic radio comms sound.

I would record the voice audio with a good normal mic then edit it with Adobe Audition.

I am planning to make a VA for AFR with only one actor... me 😆 which I will do with different accents though not really accurate. Let's just say that's the way people speak in 2370. Then I will edit the sound clips to make them sound like different persons

...but this is only for my own use because it will be embarrassing. I  am just having trouble reading, my eyes are no longer good.

The first time I played SNES, it blew my mind! Well, there was only Nintendo Family Computer before that. But at that time, the graphics were amazing, the backgrounds in side-scrolling games were no longer static. I said wow! However.... much later, I saw Playstation (not yet the PSone)... same astonished reaction.

Hello FreeSpace fans!...

Your thoughts? Suggestions on a different format? Personally, I like to finish what I started when it comes to games, so while I had thought of and anticipate suggestions of doing rotating games on stream (Week 1, FF7, Week 2, FreeSpace, etc), I'm a bit averse to this format as it can be easy to lose track of what progress I've made on each game, and also potentially make it hard for the audience to follow.

My suggestion... stream the full mod uninterrupted but not like one single video stream. Then play non-FS game in between like Halo alternately. In this way, people who haven't seen the mod will not lose track of the story and the momentum towards the story climax will not be interrupted.

It was remarkable that you stream the many FS mods in a marathon. However, there's a downside. You will tend to absorb the canons of these mods into one "library." This will tend to confuse you as some of these mods have different canons and these mods sometimes conflict with each other. The only canon I follow is the story of FS1 and FS2.

So, by playing it alternately, you can dump or release the information of one mod then have a reset for the next FS mod (if you know what I mean).

By the way, do you stream modern triple A games like COD WZ or Matrix Awakenings?

Actually, within the universe of AFR/TBG, there are a couple other campaigns that are canon (the list goes like this):

FS1
Silent Threat Reborn
Shrouding The Light: Origins
Shrouding The Light
FS2
AFR
TBG

Megaman x, x2, x3, and super contra are worth it.


Would you ever play Nexus: the Jupiter incident?   Gawd I loved that one

Gradius II, Dekker. That game is a bad ass, Argh-Grrr-throw-your-controller kind of game. But it was awesome. 🤣😂😆

Well, I consider STR, STL Origins, and STL as part/included in the FS1 universe.

I don't do modern "triple A" games and my opinions regarding these more modern games is less than favorable. Finding a good modern game is finding a diamond in the rough, sadly, which is why I primarily do retro content. That includes, of course, FreeSpace.

I'll throw my hat in the ring for that.  After I finish my other projects lol

Yeah, I agree. They don't make it like they use to. Plus these modern games are short and somewhat easy. You can finish them in one day, even the modern Tomb Raider games. The old PSone Tomb Raiders takes months to beat, now THAT is a game. However, the graphics are fantastic, realistic. Being a guy who have seen games since the 80s, my mind were constantly blown with new games/console popping up... Generally, I play modern games just for the looks.

Speaking of AAA games, I do like God of War and The Witcher 3... my computer, unfortunately, is screaming in pain (FPS 21)

Ah, Red. I know you do have a perspective on FS2 lore. I posted something in my AFR thread. I would like to know what you think... and don't be polite, he he he. 🤣😂😆

I find this concept of game as singular piece "being good" is ... strange and non-functional.

It's like dismissing the beauty of a single snowflake because of the uniform whitness of a snowfield.

Hoping this hurricane doesn't impact Sunday stream plans!

EDIT: I've come out the other side even stronger than before.

Re: Props to Passionate Community + Shameless Stream Plugging
Hi Joe,

I got back into playing FreeSpace this year after many, many years, so I've enjoyed and had a lot of fun watching your FreeSpace stream. I haven't always been there to watch it live, but I usually catch up later.

At the very end of your Amnesia stream today, I asked if you liked to play Thief and said there were some spooky fan missions.

Here are my recommendations for Spooktober:

  • A Night In Rocksbourg 3: Ink & Dust - It's horror and bizarre. (Note: Download page has it just as "Ink and dust". By DrK.)
  • Rose Cottage - It's spooky with a haunted house feel. (By Saturnine.)
  • Deceptive Perception 2: Phantasmagoria - It's spooky and comical at times. (By William the Taffer & Yandros.)

These can be downloaded from https://www.taffersparadise.co.uk/thief2missions.html.

To patch Thief 2, use T2Fix found at https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=149669.

To have correct gamma/brightness for streaming, make sure "d3d_disp_sw_cc" in enabled/uncommented in your Thief cam_ext.cfg config file.

If you decide to play these, feel free to reach out to me with any questions you might have.

Looking forward to more Amnesia next week!

Cheers

Re: Props to Passionate Community + Shameless Stream Plugging
Thanks for the support Daft Mugi! Glad to have another awesome fan, and so happy to have another FreeSpace enthusiast! These HLP guys sure know how to keep the spark of fandom alive.

I don't have Thief 2, but I can look into it if people think the content would be sufficiently spooky. I'm also looking into the best way to get my hands on F.E.A.R. again, but it only comes in a bundle with all the games from both the original developers and the publishers (at least I think that's the two involved parties). My understanding is that Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate are the "proper" sequels. It's only $8.50 for 6 games until October 6th, so it may be worth getting. I'm suspicious of how viable the "Ultimate Shooter Edition" on G2A is given it seems to be a package no longer supported on Steam.

After some spoiler-free peeking at remaining "Acts" and "areas/sections" by room name in a Walkthrough table of contents, it seems that I may be roughly 1/3 of the way through Amnesia already, so I probably have 2 more streams worth of it. I want to be sure I have something to follow-up with though, so I'd like people to try to agree on what they think would be a good follow-up to Amnesia. I know it's a hard act to follow, being my gold standard for good horror, but I believe in you guys!

Re: Props to Passionate Community + Shameless Stream Plugging
Have you looked for these games on GOG? They have F.E.A.R. I'm not sure how different that may be from what you're already looking at, though.

Thief Gold and Thief 2 are currently on sale at GOG for $0.97 each. The fan missions for both are amazing. When I first played Amnesia, I felt that Thief must have influenced its design.

By the way, does your copy of Amnesia come with the expansion "Justine"? That's quite good. And... it uhhh... sorry Joe, but I think it may have a scarier water sequence than the one you completed today - the one that made you quit before. :eek: So, maybe more Amnesia?
