raocow's talkhaus

well, uh, ngl, between all the discussion and cross-pollination between here, the asmt server and the spotzone, today yesterday was pretty overwhelming. with the reactions to the cutscene and the joke proposals leading to sincere brainstorming with interesting ideas and possibility spaces I don't th...

okay so I'm not even gonna try to catch up or respond to everything. I just want to clear up an early potential misunderstanding, since koba mentioned being several videos behind. This has probably already been cleared up but I've taken long enough with this reply so sunk cost fallacy Kood (who at w...

Something I should probably clarify since it came up in the youtube comments: @meocu5434 52 minutes ago given zebraspace’s janky relationship with canon, i’m taking the whole “kood is a space master of space” twist with a big grain of salt. @Rixitic 6 minutes ago So like, I don't think we state it e...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMSmTnXSi_c Okay, in the polish patch we really need to add clearer left/right indicators for tabbed prompts because almost every time raocow has gotten one he doesn't seem to realize/remember you can change tabs. This has been a thing since the sound test in Gaiden 2...

hank.

it predates wonder, but not the clear pipe level early in subzero heroes

also the hyperclap pipes were retroactively a reference to this (initially it was just a silent sight gag and then I remembered the video later)

okay yeah that would've been really funny (genuinely)

nice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5gr853adIA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP51CI7J82o the thread title will take a bit EDIT: A2XT2 - Hatsune Miku no Atama no Taisou / DOGS (yukkedoluce) / Urutora Toreeraa / Umigame no Namida wa Shiorashii / Bookaroido Tachi ga Tada Sakebu Dake / Omedetou (To...

Was that bit ad-libbed by Maiku or written as part of the script? I just kinda assumed the latter.

Looking back at the library level in ASMBXT where the Space Masters of Space lore started (?), raocow called them "Cycloptic Bipedal Demons". And I vaguely remember "Space Demon" popping up in old A2MT threads. "Armless Bipedal Cycloptic Demons" might still have been us...

Adding to the "don't rush the last stretch" pile here. With A2XT2 we did so because of extenuating circumstances, if there's not any for this project then it's worth giving the game as long as it needs for testing, bugfixing and final polish.

As someone who’s played a few Disgaeas, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of that series’ influence slipped into how I wrote her dialogue. But I’d like to think she breaks the fourth wall with at least a sliver more finesse than a NIS game. And that gimmick does sound fun and fitting for her, though s...

I mean I slept through that exchange, I just found it a funny thing to wake up to only to switch to spotzone #theatre and immediately see two videos. So like, you weren't wrong, the videos are both one level (I'm assuming, I still haven't watched them yet) also to repeat what Hoeloe and I said in th...

Alright, depending on multiple factors (including how far raocow gets today and the energy level of my brother’s dog) there will be either 2 or 4 A2XT2 OST videos going live at 2 PM rixi time (idk time zones but the A slot is 6:30 AM for me). I am definitely going to sleep through the video(s?), I w...

- vs. Uncle Pumpernickle : so two things: I didn't expect the music to change this drastically from its 8th draft, dang. So, Entropy Elemental was one of the last tracks to be finalized, and having Knuckles rap-esque vocal intermissions was something I envisioned it having for the longest time, but...

"surely raocow read the advice, right? he saw the stuff about not one-more-leveling into the final section. I should be able to sleep in a bit this morning" ohhhh, rixi. rixi, rixi, rixi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUlrearf_nQ rip hitting the left block too apparently, going by the yo...

Do existing subscribers get the crab alert as well or is it only for newcomers? I said it yesterday but I'm really happy with the eclectic mix of sections we got -- some very pretty with fancy effects and cool gimmicks, some rad experimentation with blocks and NPCs that were added to the engine dur...

and so it begins.

Okay, after discussing it in the ASMT server we figure the “insect noises” warning should actually be extended to a general entomophobia/insects warning. And I’m gonna be explicit about where it is in the level: it’s after the last gameplay section by the A2XTeam, in the room labeled Scheming Hall. ...

https://youtu.be/oyv-BImVMUA SMBX need more levels that use climbing like this one does imo. There probably already are at least a few that I’m not aware of but the statement stands. Also since raocow stepped on the level marker in the video I’ll just quote one of the points of advice I gave outrigh...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XtRypNgPIU I got very little sleep last night so I'm gonna go back to bed in a bit. But first, the other candidates for today: https://imgur.com/i9WGu43.png not going to elaborate on these but I believe all four have a page on either the vocaloid wiki or the vocaloid...

UNLESS WE SPECIFICALLY MENTION THIS STUFF HAS BEEN FIXED BEFORE YOU GET TO IT, PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE PLAYING IT. so yeah it's been fixed. 1.3.5 is live. With that in mind, revised vague advice going into the W8 castle (edit: for raocow. the spoilertagged warning stuff is further down the page) I ...
