PATRON UPDATE: 3DO reflections + what's next?
🕑 Added 2023-03-22 20:37:54 +0000 UTCHowdy Patrons!
I hope this update finds you well. I wanted to let the last video simmer before I wrote up another one of these, and all I can say is: woah.
When I started working on the 3DO video, I had NO idea whether it'd do well or flop entirely. Of course, when I have a compulsion to make a video, I'm gonna follow through in spite of those fears, but there's always a little voice in the back of my head saying "this is too niche", "people don't care about this subject", etc. I'm real happy to say that not only were those fears unfounded, but they were MONUMENTALLY UNFOUNDED.
3DO RPGs has been my best performing video within the time period, and it's not even close. I guess it was just lightning in a bottle and I couldn't be happier with the response! I really appreciate you guys watching, sharing, giving me feedback - all that good stuff. Of course, the reason I can pursue videos where the subject matter is so odd is because you all provide me with a baseline level of support here, so thank you for that. Producing this vid has been some of the most fun I've ever had writing & editing, so it's a big relief knowing that people might be interested in similarly styled videos.
In the meantime, I've been starting a few different videos & brainstorming ideas. The next video I'll be making will be a double review/analysis of Koudelka & Shadow Hearts. I was actually going to cover Koudelka back when I first started my channel, but I lost all of my footage and put a pin in it. I'm really looking forward to returning to the game because, as my note-taking document indicates, I've got a lot to say about it. As for Shadow Hearts, I've had so many people recommend this game to me or otherwise show interest in a video on it, I feel this is a great opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. I will likely cover the rest of the series at some point, though perhaps not immediately following this next video. Variety being the spice of life and all that.
I know a few of you had recommended either or both of these games at some point to me in the comments of other posts, so I hope this update gives you some joy. Your voice has power here! As usual, if you've got a video recommendation/request, feel free to leave it in the comments of this or any other post, drop it in the "Video Request" channel of the Discord server, or message me on Patreon.
Cheers everybody, hope you're having a fantastic week & I look forward to seeing some of you at this weekend livestream!

The 3DO video was one of the best things I've watched on the platform in ages. Full of stuff I'd literally never heard of.

Also the fact that YIIK has the honor of being the world's first "Turn Cringe RPG" tickles me pink. The title and thumbnail makes itself!

Very excited! With news of the Penny Blood spiritual successor well underway, I'm very glad to hear this being covered! As for a suggestion: if you wanted to walk down a truly cursed path for the sake of a ... "Joke", you could thematically follow the Shadow Hearts Judgement Ring's implementation and review the infamous YIIK! It wouldn't be a good time for you, but it would certainly be interesting to see your reactions given the game's unique combination of polish, sincerity, and UTTER tone deafness! No pressure of course!

Also I don’t normally like to ask for content, I just go with the flow of stuff. But I keep wondering if the Summon Night Swordcraft Story GBA series would be up your alley.

Glad the 3DO video did well for you dude! I honestly put it off for a while mostly due to feeling overstimulated. Might rewatch it since I only listened to it during a car ride, but most of those game sounded strange ass hell! Can’t wait for the Koudelka and Shadow Hearts review too!

Your 3DO video was everything I hoped it would be and more, and I'm outrageously excited to hear your thoughts on Koudelka and Shadow Hearts!

I didn't know these games had been recommended but it's a really pleasant surprise that they were!! Love em both. And I feel like Koudelka is an especially good fit for these kinds of videos. Can't wait!
