Cain on Games - Tim Cain's new YouTube channel

[Russia is over. The end.]

ELDEN RING HATERS BLOWN THE FUCK OUT.

Also, Tim plays games. Unlike all the other game devs out there. Nice.

What are some fun modern RPGs that you have played and liked? (Like from the last 10 years or so)



Timothy Cain
In no particular order and off the top of my head...Elden Ring, Pathfinder: WOTR, ELEX, Atom RPG, Underrail.

Darth Roxor

Heh, that was my question. Surprised he played ELEX.

 

[Goral]

He talks about AI that they've developed based on DnD/ToEE that went for military.


Edit:
How they managed to replace GURPS with SPECIAL in just 2 weeks.

 

[Maldoror]

Here somebody tries to get him to play the "disavow people who you've had fleeting contact with" game and he outright dismisses them. I like how Tim handles himself in the comments section of his videos.

You can see an early build using GURPS (it would be good if someone asks if Tim still has it) of Fallout in this old german preview:

Not fucking Ukraine again...

I had never seen that before. Really neat stuff, thanks for sharing.

There's another video on that channel with early Fallout UI:

Actually, forget these. They exist in high quality here: https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Vault_13:_A_GURPS_Post-Nuclear_Adventure

Fallout from an alternative timeline.

Wait a second...that triangle to represent the speech, look and bag functions. Tim was always planning to represent skills with shapes!
It actually looks really cool, though.

In b4 random ukrainian man appears claiming 22 years ago tim offered him drinks and only escaped the bear because had a headache that day, tim vanishes from web, then reappears and takes offender to court, it takes 3 years but eventually he wins but all friends he has left by that point is bunch of 2026 codex newly registered members and mca

Talks about how crowded Interplay building was (plus there wasn't much parking space for so many employees) and that his cubicle was next to a fax machine so to reduce annoying noise he bought headphones and listened to ambient music all the time.

 

[Roguey]

120 employees and 90 parking spaces

And of course Fargo was taking up one of them with his clunker.

Still another silly idea that met the chopping block was the “Dead Viper”. At the time of development, Brian Fargo had just purchased a candy-apple red Dodge Viper sports car. He would beam with pride when his V10 roared into the parking lot each morning. Almost immediately, the sports car began suffering break-down after mechanical failure – it ended up spending more time in the Interplay parking lot and repair shops than on the road.
Being pitiless bastards, we wanted to poke fun at it.

Among the bands he says were inspirations for Fallout OST, I can't make one out. Najimu? Nageemu? What?

 

[Infinitron]

I talk about two different proposals that Troika created in 2003 for expansions to Vampire Bloodlines...plus a one-line mention of a third one, which would have made the games into a trilogy.

p.s. the video glitch came back, and I am almost positive this is my antimalware scanner taking priority from my webcam. I forgot to turn on my computer an hour before recording, which seems to help, so that's on me.

p.p.s. I am Furious Yellow.

 

[Late Bloomer]

Among the bands he says were inspirations for Fallout OST, I can't make one out. Najimu? Nageemu? What?

Yeah that one has got me too. Anyone else figure it out? Here is a list of the other bands he spoke of. It looks as if his channel has gotten popular enough that he can't keep up with the comments section.

brian eno
aphex twin
synesthesia
najimu (?)
techno animal
future sound of london
o.rang
scorn
depeche mode

he also mentioned earlier in the video

jen michel jarre
patrick o'hearn

Holy cringe

 

[Abu Antar]

Interesting videos so far and a nice music taste. I like his upload tempo. Why did he did TOW? That blows hard, man.

It paid his bills. I'm thinking that TOW was the game that made him leave Obsidian, though.

 

[Zeriel]

Here's the Codexian version then: faggots gonna faggot.

The Science™ is not Settled™ on this, looks like.
Creativity seems to be correlated with testosterone in some studies, but inversely correlated in others.
The funniest one is on music directors. They had lower urinary testosterone levels, but higher salivary testosterone levels. So I guess it also matters what you are measuring for it.
Maybe just judge this game designer on his work and not on his penis, is what I am asking. We know his work. We don't know his penis. At least I don't, and I'm afraid to ask you.

Testosterone has nothing to do with your penis, bro. Women can have hormonal imbalances of testosterone and estrogen, too.

 

[Infinitron]

I talk about all of the problems we ran into trying to make The Temple of Elemental Evil. TLDW: these problems were all my fault.

p.s. this is a long video that is less positive than my other ones, but there are some good lessons to learn in it. Consider this video a cautionary tale of game development.
