Cain on Games - Tim Cain's new YouTube channel

[Infinitron]

Interesting that he's allowed to show this on his personal channel:

In this video I will show you the vertical slice made for The Outer Worlds.

Still hard to believe his "dream game" turned out to be such forgettable trash

 

[Roguey]

Tim hypes up how amazing it was for the team to put together this vertical slice in only a year, yet it took the Perils of Gorgon team 10 months to make a 6 hour DLC. Something happened.

not cain's, this was boyarsky's dream gaym

which is worse imo

 

[Butter]

The NPCs look better bald.

 

[Roguey]

Oh something else I forgot to mention earlier - the Obsidian fellow narrating the vertical slice pronounces it MEE LEE what the fuck

Americans pronounce it MAY LAY, Brits pronounce it MEH LAY. Tsk tsk.

 

[NecroLord]

ANOTHER fucking The Outer Worlds video??
Oh goodie...

 

[Old Hans]

Somebody needs to make a flipbook of Cain's thumbnails. He does a spot on impression of youtubers.

“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”

Can someone give me a tl;dr of what his fucking obsession with The Outer Worlds is?

He legitimately believes it is his best game that he worked on.
Just watch some of his videos on The Outer Worlds.

TOW is one of those games that showcase why the Recommend/Don't Recommend binary rating system so many places have is awful. It's a 6/10 game at best, which means all the normies will rate it Recommended, giving it massive positive ratings and causing game journos to think it's the best game ever.

Sad. But I think it's common for old devs to go crazy with time. Just look at the nonsense Sawer says (Wizardry isn't an RPG, etc.)

You can kinda see them go more insane with every tattoo. And you can tell social politics have a big impact on them.

 

[Infinitron]

Tim has not made many TOW-related videos.

I talk about a table top role playing campaign that went completely sideways during the first (and only) session.

What's your dream game that you'd like to make? And when are we getting Bloodlines 2 or Arcanum 2? What Troika game would you like to make a sequel to the most?

I'm happy to say that I'm currently working on my dream game.

 

[Infinitron]

I talk about marketing, how it can can go well or go poorly, and why you need it more than ever before.

 

[0sacred]

Every time you mention The Outer Worlds, an angel gets his wings.

 

[Infinitron]

I talk about how programming your rules and using scripting for the occasional exception to those rules will lead to a more robust game.

 

[Infinitron]

I talk about how I learned to tell good stories...at least spoken stories.

You seem so offended for no real reason, really. Is it difficult to understand that a creator can view one of his works as his 'masterpiece' even if the critical reception is astoundingly negative? You must not have created anything to experience such a thing.

Hello and welcome to the RPG Codex.

There is a reason, it's called decline. If you aren't offended you are a brainless consumer

Wth, this looks way better than the release version! Wtf happened inbetween?

 

[Infinitron]

I explain the roles in a typical game development group.

 

[Infinitron]

I talk about how to be creative under pressure in order to make a great game...and the secret is to work with great people.

He needs to take some time off. This is the first of his videos I've watched in a month or so and while I like the guy I did not need to hear him talk about how being creative in the games industry is hard for 9 minutes.
