Requesting Submissions for Our Next Patreon Exclusive Show
Added 2019-04-04 21:16:49 +0000 UTCHi everyone--
Kyle here. Last year, some minor magic happened during the recording of a Friend Code episode. Damiani had asked listeners to submit hypothetical ideas for Switch achievements that the panel would then critique. One of these achievements was "Get through the first level of Tropical Freeze without collecting a banana." We thought, "Wait. We could just try doing this one!" We plugged Damiani's Switch in and recorded his best effort to achieve this imaginary achievement. It turned out to be impossible, but was really fun for all of us nonetheless.
We're going to try to make an entire series out of that moment. It's called Achieve It Yourself. The format will have me, as host, feeding two Easy Allies 2-to-4 patron-submitted Switch achievements per episode. We'll produce six 10-12 minutes episodes, recording for around a half hour per episode. Today until Thursday, April 11th, I am asking for your ideas for Switch achievements.
Here are the achievement parameters:
- Must be for a Switch game
- Is not annoyingly difficult. I'm looking more for creativity than cruelty
- Must be achievable within 20 minutes. In fact, each episode will begin with a quick and easy warmup achievement, so even easy (but still unusual) achievements are appreciated
- Do not submit more than one achievement
Please click here to send your submission: https://forms.gle/ZmcsGVrGLiEo6HHZ7
I'm looking forward to reading your ideas. I've learned that it will be hard to whittle these down because you all are really good at stuff like this.
Thanks,
Kyle

Maybe giving the achievement a name would be a fun idea aswell

2019-04-06 17:43:04 +0000 UTCI submitted a practical achievement. I hope there's a mix between unique weird ones and achievements that you would typically see in a video game.

2019-04-06 15:59:43 +0000 UTCMaybe you guys should consider a condition that you can't submit an achievement unless you've already done it yourself.

2019-04-05 16:03:46 +0000 UTCAwesome idea but unfortunately I dont own a switch. Looking forward to seeing what the other allies come up with though! Maybe later seasons can expand the scope a little. Looking forward to it!
Chris Brabbs
2019-04-05 15:08:02 +0000 UTCLove this idea!! Win a fight in Arms just cheesing throws. Never tried myself but shouldnt be too difficult. L&R
2019-04-05 14:20:39 +0000 UTCAh, one great idea after another! Looking forward to it.
Danni-H4
2019-04-05 12:29:55 +0000 UTCThis should be Switch exclusive games only as other games have achievements already.

DaleBastion
2019-04-05 07:41:26 +0000 UTCI think it would really help you if you reflected on why people didn't respond well to your last comment, rather than dismissing them as being part of a "shiny little bubble". Just my two cents, take it or leave it.
DaleBastion
2019-04-05 07:40:30 +0000 UTCsorry to spread dissent in this shiny little bubble but I'll try to say it better since it didn't seem to go over very well last time. it's too many patreon-exclusive shows. patreon may have grown since you started doing them, but correlation =! causation. I was also one of the people who joined in that time frame but it was in spite of those shows, not because of them. you barely even hear about those shows unless you're already a patron. you are putting your most original ideas outside of mass feeds and behind a paywall, which is just crazy to me. just my two cents, take it or leave it.
Michal Dudic
2019-04-05 07:28:29 +0000 UTCThis is the kind of stuff I love when you guys just come together on a simple yet prosperous show.
Jeffrey Tessar
2019-04-05 04:23:30 +0000 UTCCan we get some clarification: Does it have to be a Switch game, or a Game that can be played on the Switch?
Morgan Mohalla
2019-04-05 03:14:59 +0000 UTCCorrection: the original was to get through Chapter One of Captain Toad Treasure Tracker without collecting a coin! Someone else wanted you to get ALL the bananas from 1-1 of Tropical Freeze. You tried both and neither were possible. The Captain Toad one was mine, so I guess now I get to say I half-inspired an EZA series :)

2019-04-05 03:06:14 +0000 UTCI'll call it now - some version of this will be at next year's anniversary show
DaleBastion
2019-04-05 02:47:01 +0000 UTCWent for a somewhat simple one, want it to be achievable but it is also pretty fun.

2019-04-05 01:41:50 +0000 UTCI see frustration in your future xD, but I think mine isn't that hard.

Nicholas
2019-04-05 01:01:05 +0000 UTCSubmitted. I'm excited for this! EDIT: Oh, question though - does it need to be a Switch-exclusive game? I get that multi-platform games would have achievements elsewhere but the chance to make one up is really fun. EDIT EDIT: Ah hang on - comment above says "if we can play it on Switch, it qualifies" so it seems like a non issue. Yay
DaleBastion
2019-04-04 23:53:56 +0000 UTCCan we assume all levels/areas are unlocked? The 20 minute time limit makes it limiting if not, eg Zelda is limited to the Plateu and Mario to the Cap Kingdom. Perhaps if certain levels/powers are required to attempt the achievement, we could list them?
Connell
2019-04-04 22:33:28 +0000 UTCUnfair, that's not a possible achievement
Connell
2019-04-04 22:30:46 +0000 UTCyep!
Easy Allies
2019-04-04 22:27:57 +0000 UTCWhen you say it has to be a Switch game, does that include the online service NES games?
César Villa
2019-04-04 22:18:23 +0000 UTCLove love love this idea. Will try to submit something. As a side benefit, I hope the show helps people discover more hidden gems on Switch.

2019-04-04 21:58:38 +0000 UTCLove this idea. Had to check if my idea was even feasible before I submitted but it seems doable lol.
Olf Himself
2019-04-04 21:53:30 +0000 UTCI get why this is Switch only but also it’s a slight bummer to limit it to those games. Maybe it’s just because I don’t have a switch 😔

2019-04-04 21:39:17 +0000 UTCThe rule should be switch exclusive since everything else has achievements

Innes Rock

Parasitepaladin
2019-04-04 21:27:07 +0000 UTCWoo, this sounds really fun! Just an aside for Patreon exclusive shows though, maybe it would be a good idea to make the first episode available to everyone on the main channel to give a taste and entice people to become patrons? Idk, if that's in the plans already but just a suggestion!
2019-04-04 21:25:08 +0000 UTCKyle, I'm not asking for much, but this show NEEDS a little "Achievement Unlocked" pop up on screen when someone clears a challenge. edit: Oh, and shouldn't the form include the game title?
