Next Video Done!

Above is a tiny spoiler for the next video / article, which will go live this coming Tuesday. 

Also, I have a handful of new Patrons this month. Thanks so much to all of you. I just want to remind you that this isn't one of those deals where the creator is like, "I need more money for better equipment so I can do bigger projects with higher production values!" Not that there's anything wrong with that, but this is more of a deal where your money buys me food and keeps me out of a cubicle so I can keep making content. 

So... thanks!

My current plans for future articles:

Next up is *probably* (85% chance) a video / article about how hard it is to create setbacks in a story where the audience has control of the main character.

The one after that MIGHT be (50% chance) a breakdown of everything wrong with Silver Sable in 2018's Spider-Man game. I dunno. I'm currently fishing for feedback. Like, I don't want to commit to a 4,000 word article / video if nobody cares about this character. My audience skews heavily towards the PC and this game was a PS4 exclusive, so I'm not sure how many people have first-hand experience with this character that is somehow irritating and boring at the same time. 

Also, this isn't just a re-hash of the stuff I said about Silver Sable last year.  https://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=47019  I mean, it will have SOME rehash for context, but there's a lot more wrong with the character that I never got around to covering.

That covers Tuesday content for the next few weeks. For Thursday content: The Rage 2 series will run for a few more weeks. After that, I plan to cover Jedi Fallen Order. However, I know that's not going to be ready by the time Rage 2 is done. I haven't figured out what will fill the gap.

Comments

Oops I'm a few weeks late to this discussion. Oh well, personally I'm looking forward to your setbacks video and Jedi Fallen Order series more than anything else. I haven't played Spider-Man but I have immensely enjoyed your articles about it and wouldn't mind seeing Silver Sable mocked even more thoroughly, especially if its part of what Pablo and Frank have suggested in their comments.

It might be interesting to discuss the tech behind's Media Molecule's Dreams too, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9KNtnCZDMI , http://advances.realtimerendering.com/s2015/AlexEvans_SIGGRAPH-2015-sml.pdf

I'm looking forward to the setback-video, not so much the Silver Sable thingy. A suggestion: Procedual vs. Design in the aspects World (No Man's Sky vs. Monster Hunter World), Gameplay (Rouge-like FTL vs. Portal), and Loot (Turok vs. Borderlands)
