Title: Let's play? Selling out? Sure!
Post by: Alan on December 24, 2012, 20:47:43
Boy, I sure do feel like I'm selling out doing this, but hey.. my Saira playthrough got some good (albeit a small amount of) feedback, so I figure I'll post this here.

I'm doing a let's play of Knytt Underground. I've been looking forward to this game for so long, I almost found myself flailing with excitement when I saw it was finally out for Windows. (curses, my much desired Linux version isn't out yet)

So, I went and recorded a quick teaser video before I start the recording proper tomorrow night. Teaser's here (http://youtu.be/ne1S-8KEzDk), and I sincerely hope I'm not breaking any rules, written or unwritten in doing this.

If I am, delete away! If not, well.. maybe stop by to watch. -nudge nudge-

Okay, since I now realise the old format of videos in a nice table (as in the spoiler below) will take up a ridiculous amount of room by time I finish the game, I'm switching to this new format!

That's completely okay. Oh, and if you get the version on fastspring you get access to the Linux betas. If you got it on gamers gate, send me a PM and I'll set up Linux beta access for you.

I love LP's and it's an honor that you wish to make one.

Hey I loved your Saira LP! Can't wait for you to LP Knytt Underground.

Suggestion by the way. Always send a mail to the game developer if you're an LP'er who have done previous LP's. Odds are you'll get the game for free. I always hand out review copies.

Wow, I had actually never thought of that. Thanks for the tip!

Also, parts 1-10 are encoding now. I did upload a little clip unlisted before I started rendering the rest, though. Right here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ky0Tqo1K8_0).

Loving it so far, though. I'm some way into chapter 3, and I think my next recording session will finish it off.

A little question about the end of chapter 2, though..

No one knows. Well, Nifflas does, but his statement is: I'm curious how people will find the secrets and that they share it. So until we found all, we'll never know how many there are...

There are at least 2 other secrets you are missing in the Interlude area.

Aww, when I saw activity here, I thought the first parts are up already. Looking forward to them!  :)

Aaannnnd part 1's up now (here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypnXhuc_aQQ)), and I have parts 2 and 3 uploading as I type this, which takes me close to the end of chapter 1. Then it's super-magical interlude time. Going to be resuming playing tomorrow night, I think. I have recorded up to about.. maybe 1/4 into chapter 3, and I'm sorely itching to get it finished. Thing is, I'm forcing myself not to play unless I'm recording. -random fist shake-

Once I've got the main story finished and recorded, I'm not resting until I've gotten everything else discovered, either. I ain't gonna miss a thing. [/randomaerosmithreferencetypething]

Watched all three parts and found them very enjoyable; your style has just the right mix of maturity and goofiness that a 30-something can enjoy. :)

It was also nice to take a fresh look at the game again from a new perspective.

Keep at it, Alan! ^_^

I very much agree with this.

Wow, that's certainly a large bucket of compliments.. didn't expect that!

Also, fun fact: I completely forgot the game was called KnyttWADF for the longest time while in development, as will be made apparent by the end of part 5.

Good cliffhanger there! Now I want to see more! MORE! MORE! MORE! :P

Got parts 6 and 7 uploading as I type! I may have a decent upload speed, but 3GB for part 6 and 5.9GB for part 7 will still take a good little chunk of time.

Slightly slow in posting, but part 8 is now up! Part 10 will require some.. tweaking/speeding up for various Morse code-related reasons before I upload that.

Hey Alan, how are things going? Haven't heard for over a month on this. Too bad, as this is a great series.

Well, it certainly has been a long time! I'll spoiler an explanation (including technical details! Hooray!) of what went wrong here if you care to read it. If not, just continue on..

Spoiler: (click to show/hide)

Basically, I am going to resume to let's play, hopefully having some parts up within a week. I'm also going to be doing The Great Work, since that is yet another game I've wanted to play since I first heard of it.

Also, I fixed the thumbnails in the first post! Blame that on me switching VPS providers and completely forgetting I had them stored there.. my bad!

Out of curiosity, have you already tried some undelete software to recover your data? I know it's a longshot, but you never know.

Not a bad suggestion, but I've defragged so many times since that I suspect every sector of the drive will have had something new in at at some point by now! Everything of real value was kept on another drive though, luckily.. except any game saves, which I did attempt to recover unsuccessfully.

That's alright, though. I actually realised (halfway through chapter 1) that I can just resume playing at chapter 3 without having completed chapters 1 and 2.. colour me embarrassed.

Post by: Alan on June 16, 2013, 07:24:02
Hooray, part 10 is now up! I'm now beginning to realise how absolutely massive chapter 3 is.. I know I'm late in realising, but still!

Finally caught up on this! Started over again from the beginning. One of the most enjoyable LPs I've watched in a while. You need to update soon, Alan! I guess I'll have to start re-watching Saira or The Great Work in the mean time. X)

Tomorrow will be my last time resuming this series, because I'm not letting it drop again! I made the mistake of having too many different things going on, and that just leads to outright confusion. So, now I only have the new Spelunky, an occasional miscellaneous video, and continuing Knytt Underground (for the second time) starting tomorrow.

Hooray!

Speaking of Saira, I'm actually thinking of re-doing that for quality purposes, but then there would be no fresh reactions, so I don't know whether to or not. Any thoughts on that?

Edit: New part uploaded, finally! Should regularly be a part every day or two from here on out.

Another double post, but having completed all of the bells, I'm now onto finding all of the secrets I can.

I have the

complete... mostly. Let me know if I missed anything there though, because I don't want to let anything slip!

I do recall someone saying I missed some things in the interlude, so I'll be exploring that next!
