Behind-the-scenes breakdown of my entry in the Kinetic Rush Art Challenge by Clinton Jones (pwnisher).

    Don’t know if you’ll see this. But 46:26 is explained in the spinoff rail shooter Dead Space Extraction. A Wii game that was later ported to PS3. Basically, the story follows a small group of colonists and crew aboard the ishimura attempting to escape amidst the start/middle of the outbreak. To do so, one of the characters ventures out to disable the ADS cannons so the defense system doesn’t target their escape shuttle. Hence why Isaac had to come in and recalibrate them after the fact. Dead Space Extraction also features a closer look at the Aegis VII Colony (like the concurring prequel comics) and both the vent systems on the Ishimura, as well as a waste disposal sub-level (plumbing sewers etc.). So make with that info what you will.

    Oh, no! Space OSHA! lol 1:04:42 Also, I'm in the Navy and stuff like this isn't unheard of, though I'd wager this instance in the game is just some level building oversight. There's a lot of overheard piping that will run through a berthing, and you can be unlucky and have something like a CHT line (read: poop) pass right over your bunk. Gotta cross your fingers that you don't get unlucky and get a top bunk and one right under a boo-boo line. I can't remember if I saw hot water lines pass through berthing, but that would probably be unnerving.

    I always thought that the reason for why Dead Space kept the suspense and dread throughout the whole game without losing it because of the constant plot driven tension. The game does a very good job at making every objective feel more stressful than the last. You sense through the plot, atmosphere, and gameplay that the ship is falling apart and that your demise is approaching. Nearly everything that you do is preventing the inevitable loss of all life support and chances getting home. Every-time Hammond, Daniels, or the woman from Hydroponics called I feared the worst, and they end up surprising me about how bad the situation could get. The attention to detail is great. I swear when I say this that the starting game atmospheres felt quiet and decrepit, while by the end, it seems like blackouts, alarms, and explosions could be felt throughout the whole ship.

    I love your analysis Videos from a technical realism standpoint. So much of both the visual Sci Fi media and also it's fans miss this aspect, which is much more prominent in literary Sci Fi. Technically/Scientifically Sci Fi with none or few exceptions is good Sci Fi, and we need more of it. I would like to see similar videos on these games, which i'd also consider to be on the more hard Sci Fi side with some depiction of realistic space engineering in gameplay and/or story backdrop: Citizen Sleeper Hardspace: Shipbreaker System Shock Remake System Shock 2 The Invincible Prey (2017)

    38:25 iirc, there is a very short direct path from the console to the door, but it was destroyed and blocked off by the corruption. The big fans would normally be safer than that. I think stasis is supposed to be a near 100% freeze for an extended period of time, as you can see when Mercer uses his own stasis module. But of course, it had to be nerfed for gameplay purposes. 1:16:50 Temple's force gun isn't as powerful as it should be because Mercer confiscated components he deemed unnecessary for Temple's work, to prevent him from killing Mercer with it.

    The food area venting to the exterior might make sense if we assume its to allow the restocking of food easier. Like when the ship is at a port instead of taking the food through the Hanger & over to the Food area they can just bring it directly into the storage area for easier transport.

    question: for an engine like this how would you get it to operational speeds. I'm assuming a separate source like compressed gasses, but I would like to here about other ways to get things going.

    • @RocketScienceGallery
      @RocketScienceGallery Місяць тому

      Correct: usually you would use compressed gases to start flowing the propellants into the engine, but this doesn't have to be from a separate gas tank. You can also bleed off some of the supply of each propellant into another line that is heated by the nozzle and/or combustion chamber, and feed it back into the supply tank at higher pressure; but for this you also need to get the engine running first. In some cases you can use the initial pressure from the tank to start the pumps, and in some (newer?) cases I believe you can also run the turbopumps electrically to get them started. It's also technically possible to use something like a piston or syringe to pressurize the gas, but if anything this is only really for special cases of small engines.

    Loving these reviews. If you ever feel like a quick one to do (in terms of it not havig a long difficult campaign to explore) have you considered Space Engineers? The title alone makes the reason evident. As a primarily sandbox game you can just stick on creative mode to quickly experiment and explore the options and basic functions of the setting. And it has published scenarios (some free, some dlc) and npc ships/stations if you want to focus more on exploring how they present the universe lore.
