nielsm posted:At least you always have the option to jump to another time and then back to the starting point of the location you went too far in. This is true. It would be faster jumping to the start point, instead of walking with the extra effort of mechanisms there and back again, in most of the areas.

 This episode covers the second and final part of the Da Vinci Studio. I had a couple of issues within this recording, I encountered a graphical glitch and there's a small edit as I forgot that I had a biochip that translates languages. I've already recorded the next episode which was an experience for a variety of reasons. I will probably record the rest of the game this afternoon as I'm very close to the end. There will only be a couple of bonus videos for Buried In Time, I want to cover the death\ending sequences and any other missing sequences.

Those scribbles over the Codex Atlanticus seem to relate to design of the cathode ray tube and possibly decoding of color signals in TV broadcast or similar.

Hwurmp posted:How does Gage press all those tiny buttons inside his helmet Maybe they're all tongue operated? That could explain why we never hear him speak when he's inside of the suit. I'm pretty much at the end of the game now. It's been a very long time since I was at this point in the game and I have absolutely no bearings of where I am or what I'm doing at this point. I'm taking a break before I dive back in again.

I'm amused that I thought: "Wow, Arthur's auditioning for the part of the Crypt Keeper" just seconds before "Too many episodes of Tales from the Crypt." I also think I've got the plot figured: someone's hiding the recipes for time travel stuff in a bunch of historical artifacts so aliens can buy them when they're being sold from the Louvre. At least, that's what I'd presume, to tie it back together with the news reports from the start of the game. Otherwise I have no idea what the point of all these shenanigans are.

Oh snap, that's clever, I thought it was just some jerkwad with a grudge against Blackwood essentially committing historical vandalism and pinning it on him. Also Arthur has been watching way too much 20th century American television, but it is nice to meet an AI who isn't insane and/or evil, just friendly and pleasant but kind of irritating sometimes, just like the rest of us.

Arthur just wants to get out there and see time and space. He's kinda like an extra-talky Doctor Who companion.

There are three episodes left of this LP, everything comes out in the final two episodes. I don't know whether to re-record them now that I know all of the facts or just keep to my initial dumb reaction as my brain kinda melted with the information overload. I'll upload the next episode tomorrow. Rocket Baby Dolls fucked around with this message at 12:52 on Oct 1, 2019 |

 This episode covers the second and final part of Chichén Itzá. Now that we have finished exploring the other time zones, we should have everything that we need to open up the temples in the underworld. I'm going to update the bio section over the course of the next few days. I've also started to record another playthrough so I can try to capture anything that I missed. If there's anything specific that I've missed then please let me know. I've recorded as far as completing the Farnstein Station segment again, I'm not sure if there are any other ending sequences other than running out of oxygen.

When Arthur pitched the idea about acolytes in the walls I was going to raise some questions, but I've been doing this long enough to just let these games just do their thing and not worry too much.

Arthur has a fair amount to say on the subject, I won't spoil anything surrounding it though. I will be uploading the bonus footage after the main LP. In regards to the bonus footage, compared to the lengthy amount of recording for Pegasus Prime, I seem to be on the verge of completing everything that I set out to do with Buried In Time in one evening. I'll list what I have so far minus the locations that we have yet to visit in the main LP. I'd be very grateful if anyone can point anything out that I'm missing. Farnstein Labs: Ending: Losing Oxygen. Extra: The Arthur Paradox. Château Gaillard: Endings: Guard in first tower, sliding down the roof, getting hit by the catapult, cow, not cloaking in the tower and the guard in the second tower. Da Vinci Studios: Ending: Falling down the empty stairwell. Extras: Firing the mortar. Chichén Itzá Endings: Walking down the pyramid, falling down the pit, death by spikes, death by falling, death by poison. Extra: Getting trapped in the temple of wealth. There are two more updates, I'll list what I have for each one when they happen. The next update should be tomorrow, it will also include another small image dump as I forgot to explore one of the biochips at the start of the game.

 In this episode, Gage finds out who the rogue agent is and who they are working for. Also, more Geno! There is a Biochip called "Files" which I didn't explore at the start of the game, we had to make use of it in this episode and I discovered that it contains more information on the TSA as well as profiles on all of the agents. Background Development Of Technology  The Jumpsuit   Founding Of TSA  Divisions Of TSA   Agent Dossiers Agent 1 - Yakamura, Gail (Security Unit)   Agent 2 - Geddy, Neil (Security Unit)   Agent 3 - Visard, Michelle (Research Unit)    Agent 4 - Carver, Allan (Security Unit)   Agent 5 - Blackwood, Gage (Research Unit)    Agent 6 - O'Rourke, Roger (Research Unit)    Agent 7 - Flores, Silene (Security Unit)   Agent 8 - Warner, Marcus (Security Unit)   Agent 9 - Yasignova, Vladich (Security Unit)   Agent 10 - Walsh, Tamara (Research Unit)    Jumpsuit Overview

The last episode will be uploaded tomorrow, it's a whopping twelve minutes long so I will upload the two bonus videos alongside it. The intro videos for Legacy Of Time are over eleven minutes long combined. I've conducted a test recording of JMP3 with a new microphone, the quality is better than my old one but the gain levels are garbage and are going to need some fine-tuning before I commit to anything. Welp... PurpleXVI posted:Hah, I wasn't entirely expecting to be right, but boom! I almost mentioned something but I didn't want to spoil the surprise.

 The final episode of Buried In Time. I'm not going to spoil anything apart from Gage's smug face. Legacy Of Time will start either at the end of the week or the beginning of next week. Seeing as this is only twelve minutes long I thought that I would upload the bonus videos alongside it. Bonus Videos: Death & Ending Sequences Farnstein Station: Running Out Of Oxygen Château Gaillard: Guard In First Tower, Death By Catapult, Jumping Onto The Roof, Death By Cow, Caught In The Kings Chamber, Guard In The Second Tower. Da Vinci Studio: Falling Down The Stairwell. Chichén Itzá: Walking Down The Pyramid Steps, Incorrect Calendar Date, Death By Spikes, Death By Falling, Death By Poison. Missile Silo: Running Out Of Time, Wrong Teleporter Prefix. Krynn: Using Another Teleporter, Taking The Left Path, Forgetting To Cloak, Keeping The Tunnel Open, Failing The Final Scene. Additional Scenes Farnstein Station: The Arthur Paradox, A Waste Of Cheese. Da Vinci Studio: Playing With Leonardo's Toys. Chichén Itzá: Temple Of Wealth Trickery.

Todd McCormick definitely won the role of Gage on the strength of that smugface e: the Translate biochip does actually work on the Krynn telepod voice. If it's activated when you enter a pod, the voice will be translated to "THIS TRANSPORTER SET FOR ORGANIC AND INORGANIC MATTER," or just "INORGANIC MATTER" for the adventure-game-bullshit-death pods.

Congratulations on completing this game too! The Journeyman Project 3 was my favorite in the series, so it's going to be interesting seeing what everyone thinks about that. As for why the teleporter didn't teleport the ambassador away: as we can see from the death sequences, the teleporters on the side appear to be set to work on inert matter only (like Icarus' prosthetics, rendering him (h)armless  ).

You've just reminded me about the image dump on page three, something that I should have boned up on before recording the last episode. I forgot that the Krynn are aided with prosthetics and cybernetics. I have a tentative first episode for Legacy Of Time recorded, it's going to take a while to get used to a new set up.

I was wondering if the suits the actors were wearing were supposed to be so Robot from Lost in Space but going by the death montage they were supposed to actually look like something useful. I guess they were committed once they decided to show other time cops but leaving the "bio suit" or whatever from the first game more up to the imagination at least avoided people wearing trash cans

I think Icarus' plan kind of has a flaw, if they went back in time and changed it so they were a superior species, thus not needing time travel ever, wouldn't they cause a universe-breaking paradox? Like if they never needed the time travel tech, they would never have acquired the time travel tech, and thus would never have been changed so they didn't need the time travel tech, so they would have tried to acquire the time travel tech... Also, for the Farnsworth Station bit, if you already know exactly what to do, is it possible to complete it without picking up Arthur? I forget if he actually unlocks some stuff for you or just gives you the hints you need. Because it occurs to me that if it's the latter case, since you need him in the missile silo, you could dead-man-walking yourself there.

Bad news everybody, I forgot to include the footage with the bonus video and I've deleted the recordings. If you say no to Arthur he just sits there and sulks until you press the "yes" buttons. You need Arthur to get to the missile silo, he has the voice activation to open the part of the station containing the sculpture.

Plus it fits with their organization's aesthetic; It's a sealed, cloaked, armorsuit. Sufficient protection to go anywhere, during any era, while leaving minimal presence that might disrupt the timeline.

 Gage has just been told that he is under contract to appear in a third JMP game, doesn't he look excited? I have genuinely fond memories of this game and I'm excited to get this started. The first eleven and a half minutes are compromised of two intro videos and some key events appear quickly during the short game time. I'm still trying to get used to the new mic so it may take me a little while to tweak things into something more balanced. And I know that I've said it before but I will try to update the bios this weekend. Rocket Baby Dolls fucked around with this message at 10:46 on Oct 12, 2019 |
