Pandora #3 Update
Added 2022-11-16 23:17:58 +0000 UTCProgress update.
Work continues on the next episode, progress has been extraordinary. The script is almost finished, just need to give it a few more passes and polish it up a bit. Not too shabby considering this will be a ~1.5 hour video! I mentioned the subject matter in a previous post - SWG.
Episode #2 is live and I'm very happy with the reception, but it was a bit on the serious side. Since life is no fun being serious all the time I wanted to switch things up and talk about something more chill for #3. Galaxies was the first MMO in the star wars universe. It's a game that's mainly known today for its sandbox design, player-driven economy, and player housing system(or rather player CITIES). It has a very long and interesting story in its development and since it's MMO-related, I feel a bit more in my wheelhouse. That probably explains the faster progress I guess!
The video is documentary/essay in nature, sort of like episode #1 now that I think about it. In this one though I go more into some of the more fundamental design of mmos, as well as their culture in the late 90's and early 2000's. I'm very happy with how it's turning out...I think it'll be a real "banger" as the kids call it these days.
I don't like to give deadlines because it all depends on how much time I'm able to put into it, but I'm hoping for a release within a month. No promises, but that's what I'll shoot for. It may be a bit on the ambitious side.
I also mentioned the possibility of starting a whole SWG series on BadSeasonShow for those who are unsatisfied with a 1.5 hour breakdown. I still haven't decided on that though. Not due to a lack of desire, just time - running 1 channel alone is hard to keep up with, I've tried 2 a few times but always start to feel like I'm burning out.
Will keep you posted.
Farewell for now, mortals.
