Creating is Peak Gaming - Picayune Dreams and More
Picayune Dreams is a Vampire Survivor's bullet heaven and bullet hell type of game. You play as a cyborg character floating through the ends the space traveling through to dangerous locations in search of reaching her mission objective. Though deceptively just another game to become stronger to destroy enemies is a rather challenging game with a story full of mystery left for you to discover.
What I find interesting are the game developers behind Picayune Dreams being Andy Land, Stepford, and Milkypossum, and how they all partook in creating this game. The thing that I do find even more crazy is the fact they during the production of Picayune Dreams they've created other quality games in such a short amount of time while also releasing the demo of this game. Those games that were created and released were Olive's Art Adventure and the demos for Endacopia and Gimmiko.
Edit: It appears I have also messed up writing the description copy/paste text too. I apologize for the screw up, but I decided to keep this here for being able to reflect upon the script and it's build to this moment. This'll be a reminder for myself to make sure this doesn't happen again. Sorry, I just want to upload this and move onto the next project. It's been five months, it's been living in my head for free, and the lease is due for this video.
I admire Andy Land, Stepford, and Milkypossum for their abnormal pace for creating games while working on their own separate projects. It's inspired me to start creative projects of my own, and I would like to show it to everyone eventually as it'd be very cool. Who knows maybe I'll start streaming soon *wink* *wink*, I say as I haven't planned on saying a debut date in the video or not yet cuz that's dependent on my schedule. Anyways, thank you for watching my video, and I hope you'll be able to see another video that'll be much more clean that this one.
ANOTHER EDIT, HOLY SHI: just learned what my example from an early internet website was AND HOLY MOLY. THE INCLUSION OF THAT WEBSITE WAS NOT INTENTIONAL, AND I JUST CHOSE A WEBSITE OFF OF A REDDIT POST I SAW FOR EARLY INTERNET WEBSITE EXAMPLES TO SHOWCASE OLDER DESIGN CHOICES. IT LOOKED COLORFUL AND JANKY FOR AN EXAMPLE, BUT I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT KNOW THAT WAS THE THING FOR THE WEBSITE. I apologize again for this mess up, and I'll be keeping a sharper eye out to MAKE SURE THIS KIND OF STUFF DOES NOT GET INCLUDED EVER AGAIN.
Last edit: ok I just learned I can blur it out via the UA-cam Editor. Cool.

The Most Stressful Game to Play With Friends - Rabbit and Steel
Переглядів 1,1 тис.5 місяців тому
Rabbit and Steel is one of the most unique multiplayer games that I've experienced ever. It's a game where you play as rabbits, with different sets of classes, adventuring towards the Moonlight Kingdom and to figure out what has happened to it along with it's citizens. The game itself is a 2D bullet hell roguelite MMO raid simulator. If you know what Touhou is, it's like that, but with friends!...
The Most Insane Competitive Game You've Never Heard Of - Maiden And Spell
Переглядів 3,3 тис.6 місяців тому
Maiden and Spell is one of the hardest competitive games that I've seen in a long while. It's a game where you play as magical girl-like characters in a bullet hell 1v1 type of game. I think it's a really cool game worth checking out, especially it's competitive scene as these players go really hard and all out! I think a lot of traditional fighting games are cool, but I think those small compe...

      Sorry about not mentioning Packtion! I was a bit conflicted after trying to fix the script to go back and mention the other musicians and other artists that were involved in the small game showcase section of the video, but I wanted to keep the main focus on the three devs from Picayune Dreams to stem out from the other games they've made. However, I may plan on revisiting the other games mentioned in the video like Endacopia another, and I will absolutely mention Packtion in it! I absolutely love Packtion's diverse song collection, and I think my favorite most underrated song from them would be Welcome Home. o/

    I like this video! Your explanation of the basics of the game comes across very well, I can clearly sense your love of the game, and if not for my absolute lack of skills in SHMUPs, I'd try this one. The background music did get a bit too loud for me, though. You mentioned that the Discord is friendly and there's a healthy Tournament scene, but have you yourself ever participated in a tournament? Would love to hear you going against these...monsters. Lastly, I wish you expand more on the unique points of each magical girl. Like, "Lich" is mentioned in the Competitive Tournaments part, maybe you could talk more about what Lich is like to play, or your own favourite (your 'main'?) character. Thanks for the video!

      Thanks! To be honest, this was one of my first SHMUP game that I've tried, and compared to games like Touhou, I think this is one of the easier ones to get into if you're still interested! I'm a bit afraid of the tournament scene as I still haven't exactly figured out a main, but I enjoy watching from the crowd plenty. Aside from that, I'll definitely takes notes on the bg music, and expanding more on characters going over how they work and my own main. But thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
