Arin's Let's Play/Try Thread

Arin · 2014-06-18T09:22:40+0900

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. <- Twitch Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl162iNjTHFowTuzN7JGIQA?view_as=subscriber <- Youtube Channel

Update for Episode 2 of "Unraveled".

If the maps continue to be big and laggy, I may not be able to record just for the sake of consistency. No one likes a laggy game. :'(

Update for "Etherney Odyssey".

I'm gonna run through this game again using the new glitch I discovered concerning the Guard state. Even then, I'm not sure it'll be enough to save me from imminent failure. Either way, comments are in the video.

Update for the final Episode of "Unraveled".

Hell, I'll even put the video here just because it's that good. (I might start doing this from now on.)

I was going to request a Let's Try, but I'll wait a little.

The Unraveled playthrough was good. You're right, the ending was too abrupt. Needed some wrapping up I think. Keep doing what you do. I might request something soon.

Hey guys, sorry for dropping off the face of the earth. The reason I haven't been doing much recording lately is because I got sick again. I thought I originally got over my cold, but then it came back to kick me in the butt again a few days later, so I haven't really been able to do much recording. Another reason is that in the mornings (when I usually record), there are people banging on the side of my house, doing the siding and replacing all of the framework for our house. So they have a bunch of nails and drills and hammers and stuff, and........that makes a lot of noise. Plus there are vibrations in the house, which I really don't want to chance it that it will somehow mess up the recording in some way. Just a small update of what's been happening, don't think that I lost interest in it or anything; I'm still in it, but I just don't want to record while being sick (because it's not professional) and don't want to record while people are working on my house (which creates background noise which is not professional).

Hey Arin, the version of my game (Ethernet Odyssey) was actually an early test build that I released by mistake...

The actual version. http://www.mediafire.com/download/z18gw7i6bnqjl08/Ethernet+Odyssey+Demo.rar starts out where the game chronologically begins instead of in the game. Don't worry, you'll start with healing items now.

I'd really appreciate if you'd give me another chance.

Hey there, Arin!

Not sure if you're still taking requests, but I've watched a few of your LPs so far and I really like your commentating style. If you're up to it and you have the time, I'd love for you to give my game LINUS a playthrough and see you critique it. It's currently in demo form (most people complete it in under 2 hours) and is more of a visual novel than a full-fledged RPG, which is a genre that you seem to favor.

Right now it's using the VX engine, and has more of a focus on storytelling and atmosphere than pure gameplay.

Here's a link to the project thread if you're interested:

"That was really, really, REALLY, deep."

Lol, that was exactly how I wanted to draw the player in. Glad you enjoyed the game, and thanks for giving me the feedback on my battles; I really needed it. Now my battle system has flipped around into a quick combo-chain system.

If you're up to adventure/visual novel kinda games, would you test mine: http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/35400-miraculo-island-demo-available/ ? It's a DEMO that should take about an hour to complete. Would love to hear your feedback. Thanks :3

As of this moment, I'm no longer taking suggestions on this thread. I'm also no longer going to be in the business of recording, but rather streaming. The advantages that streaming has over recording is that I am able to connect more with the audience of my game, whereas recording doesn't provide any sort of response. I'm also packing up and leaving, and if you have any suggestions for LPs, you can find me here. Otherwise, I'll be seeing you all later. And stick around.

Giving this a bump.

I haven't been here in a long long while, but I still do the occasional stream and LP over on my YT channel. If there are any suggestions you guys would like me to do, I can fit in some free time this weekend to do some streams. Currently, I can take any game except RPG Maker Horror games. I just have a personal bias against RPG Maker horror games so don't feel offended. But I'm good with anything else. Also if you like, you can PM me a link to your game if you want me to give it a shot.

My Twitch stream can be found here:

I have VODs of all of the previous games that I have played (with my crap laptops and laggy internet) so if you would like to watch those, feel free.
