 Yesterday is a 2012 adventure game by Pendulo Studios. Oddly, it’s called New York Crimes in Spain even though the majority of the game isn’t even in America. Originally an iTunes App, this game is notable for a particularly userfriendly interface and a completely wack-a-doodle plot. I wish I could go into more detail but I think it's best to discover the silliness of the plot yourself as the game progresses. The prequel/sequel, Yesterday: Origins, is in development. How the LP will work? It’s going to be a little experimental, actually. Because I have beaten the game and know all its puzzles, I could easily speedrun it, however there’s no fun in that. Instead I will ask my guests to solve the puzzles. I’ll be rotating guests every episode or two. I think it's fun to see how different people approach puzzle solving and whose the most adept at adventure game logic. This game refused to be windowed so I had to create a complicated set up to make it work. Unfortunately, this means the LP is going to be recordings of streams so the audio balancing might not be great. I'll work on fixing that, though. How would I guest? If you want to guest, that'd be great! However I strongly prefer people I've talked with on twitter or who have been in other videos so I can see first hand you're not a gross clown. DM me on here or tweet at me @ThatPazuzu if you're interested. I have a bunch of people lined up so if I turn you down, take it very personally and doxx me. Rules Don’t spoil, dummys! Please, feel free to discuss your therories or whatever, but hold your tongue if you actually know. Updates! Episode 0 – ThatPazuzu explains it all. (Watch this if you didn't read the OP, otherwise skip it.) Episode 1-1 – BeamSplashX and I stare at a gate for no god drat reason. Episode 1-2 – BeamSplashX and I become chess champions. Episode 2-1 – Devious Vacuum, Jordan Mallory, and I attempt a sweet dunk. Episode 2-2 – Jordon Mallory, Devious Vacuum, and I learn about the Satanist mother. Episode 3 – ToastWhisperer and I admire some nipples. Episode 4-1 – Dame Has Class and I master the four elements. Episode 4-2 – Dame Has Class and I unlock our inner ninja. Episode 5 – Bob and I take the Chūnin Exams. Episode 6-1 – Voidburger and I go on a learning adventure. Episode 6-2 – Voidburger and I axe you a question Episode 7-1 – Skippy Granola and I learn basic hygiene. Episode 7-2 – Skippy Granola and I master the ability to LP in the dark. Episode 7-3 – Skippy Granola and I finish the game. Alternate ending compilation. Bonus Episode 6-1 [Old Man Yells At Cloud Edition]– Geop and I are free, free fallin'. Episode 6-2 [Old Man Yells At Cloud Edition] – Geop and I firewalk. ThatPazuzu fucked around with this message at 14:28 on Aug 11, 2015 |

Mraagvpeine posted:Opening the lock with that piece of a soda can was weird. Also, it looked like there was something missing between the two episodes. Huh, you're right. I really should have double checked these updates. It's missing 4 seconds of video for some reason. I'll put on a fixed version tonight.

Air is lava! posted:Why? I don't know. Also I was half-wrong. It isn't just a prequel, it's a a sequel too. It follows the events of this game and you also get to play during Spanish Inquisition. I was misled because all the promotional stuff is just for the Spanish Inquisition part.

Mraagvpeine posted:Do you have all your guests lined-up, or are you still accepting volunteers? I'm asking people I know to guest but volunteers are welcome. I'd strongly prefer people who have either talked with me online or have been in videos before just so I can see first hand that they're not unfunny grossos. If anyone's interested they can DM me or message me on twitter @ThatPazuzu. If anyone is curious: my next guests are Anoia, who was in my Soul Suspect LP, and then Devious Vacuum, a cool person, but the rest are still open

Huh, I learned a thing. I thought the specificity of the shape meant the shim probably wasn't designed by Pendulo but didn't realize it was a real world lock pick. Anyway, I'll try to update the thread Wednesday. If you want to make God laugh, try to schedule time to record a Let's Play.

Sorry for the delay. I'll be uploading the second part tomorrow but for now let's enjoy a particularly gruesome update! The first hints of how weird and goofy this game is start to come up in this episode. Episode 2-1 – Jordan Mallory, Devious Vacuum, and I attempt a sweet dunk.

Here's the second part of the update! I hope you all enjoy massive dialog trees! Also, I think I've said this game is French in either this video or the last one. Actually the game is Spanish and the publisher is French and I got confused. Oopsy! Yesterday #2-2: Devious Vacuum, Jordon Mallory, and I learn about the Satanist mother. There's so much dialog in this episode that the thumbnail I created for it is the Galt Speech pasted over and over. By the way, in this episode we get to meet the main character, John Yesterday! He's a sad dracula. Abitha Denton posted:I'm loving the visual style here. The art in this game is pretty nice although sometimes tonally inconsistent.

Taciturn Tactician posted:Did they seriously use the same crowd noise as the stalemate audio from TF2 for the crowd of mannequins in 1-2? Ahahaha. Amazing, as you can see in the most recent video, the gently caress up an important item description too. Man, thanks for putting the effort in to post this. I usually try to work out these kind of things but just trust it when the game says I'm wrong. Can you add time codes to those videos? I'm really bad at listening closely and didn't notice a stolen sound effect.

The reason I decided to LP this isn't because I thought it was particularly good but rather that the story goes all over the place. Speaking of which, here's the first part of a two part update. Geop and I are free, free fallin'. Edit: Huh, maybe there was a problem when uploading it to youtube but the video is, like, a second too short. I'm not going to reupload it because it's just four more frames of him falling and then blackness. ThatPazuzu fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Jul 26, 2015 |

Air is lava! posted:Around the part of the train your voice is gone and Geop just rambles around on his own. Was that intentional? Either way, it was quite funny. Oh gosh, I didn't even think to check for that because what the hell? Maybe my mic got loose? I'm stumped at what could have happened because we were clearly talking. I might have to redo this and the next video.  Edit: vvv Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm going definitely going to replace it but I'll keep his one and part 2 up in case anyone wants to see it.

The final part of my LP is going to be delayed a bit. I was using a very particular set up to get it to run and that set up does not like Windows 10 at all. I'll see if I can't figure something else out. Edit: I MIGHT have fixed it. Time will tell! ThatPazuzu fucked around with this message at 01:21 on Jul 31, 2015 |

Taciturn Tactician posted:It's... kind of clever that the developers force you to get all the items you need from the outside before jumping in without putting in a clumsy "I think I should look around more" type gate, but it does make John look absolutely insanely picky. "No, I have to have the camera on a tripod otherwise my movie to myself will look SLOPPY" even though the real reason is "it forces you to take the level before you jump" This is an interesting observation but, sadly, you're giving the game too much credit. As we'll see in the next video (coming out Monday) the player never uses the level.

Mraagvpeine posted:I can't wait for the massacre. They handle the fight in the most... cost effective way possible. Anyway, I'm going to upload the final video tuesday as well as a compilation of the multiple endings. One thing I like about them is that they do different ending credit music for each possible ending. (Although I skip through them pretty quickly because of worries about copyrights )

Here's the final update! I had a lot of fun doing this and talking with people I normally wouldn't. Personally, I like to ask for constructive criticism when I finish an LP. There were a lot of problems with sound levels, and I apologize for that. I hope this was entertaining, at least! And here's all the endings.

Mraagvpeine posted:Those were some endings. What's with the secret ending? Some backstory needed? They were cameos from other Pendulo games. The Pain Poet (the Igor looking guy) is a character that can produce amazing poetry whenever he experiences a new type of pain. I suppose he rescued Henry because he wanted to be tortured. The other character, Brain Basco, explained what games he's been in.

I may pick up the followup when it comes out. gschmidl posted:I prett much agree with this, and you never let it drag on for too long when the guests didn't know what to do. Good going overall!
