Thanks for playing my game! (Daughter of Reyn.) I enjoyed hearing your feedback. This was the first large-scale game that I had produced, and it took me about a year to make. I do agree with your critiques of it. Sadly, and we did not know this until release, the game is bugged because of the read/write permissions on the USB being wonky, so the game doesn't save correctly in the mixtape version. (Again, sorry.) Thanks again for playing! And thanks for being honest.
1:29:44 Oh, there's no good ending for Emily is Away, doesn't matter if you're a jerk or if try to be with her, the relationship always dies, I think the game is just designed to be painful because most people have passed through something similar, like I just watch it again now and the memories came back... again
For a custom WAD is was nice to see it didn't get overloaded with deviantart tumblr twitter porn nonsense, you could put any character and it would play the same, thats how you tell when a WAD is gonna be decent.
Hey!! I made the music in Lycanthorn and put in a looootttttt of Castlevania references cuz I love the series so much! Thanks fer playin our game and all the other games in this great collection!!
1:46:00 Vinny played this on Gettin' Weird With It Part 35, its even on the thumbnail of the Best of Gettin Weird 2018. Weird that you can't find it by searching "Vinesauce Kiwi 64".
I'm the guy who wrote the launcher software (menu). Glad you enjoyed the collection! Looking forward to you covering Vol 2. and Vol 3. Remember everyone that Vol 2. and Vol 3. are still available!
Vin brought it up during pearl grabber, I think a decent amount of cynicism is fine. It keeps us from buying into every new thing that comes up. There just needs to be some balance, like when you feel you haven't taken any risks and tried something new because everything seems like it would be shit, then you probably should just try something new or take a break for a while.
I feel like "Emily is Away" is really only great if you actually found its story to be relatable, otherwise it's just a bit of a nothingburger with some admittedly pleasing aesthetics and sounds.
I think it's somewhat relatable on paper but at least to me it removes a lot of its relatability by sort of forcing actions / parts of the story on the player. The idea makes sense but in execution it ends up feeling underwhelming and unnatural as a result.
Oh boy, it was so good to see Emily Is Away after all these years. It was important game for me back then when I dealed with the same sort of Emilys and felt really insecure in general. Back then it was a tragic story with open end "what if I had played my cards differently?". Now, it is a tragic story about lack of selves and how insecurity circles around.
Emily is Away is a really great example of an indie game that pulls off something that most triple-A companies could not do, in a seemingly simple way. It really gets at the human experience of people who grew up during this time with computers and internet in an uncannily visceral way, as a lot of people ended up viewing the world through a lens of a computer screen and interacting with some of their best friends in this exact manner. I didn't realize there was a sequel!
@@MaTaMaDia Much worse ideas have been sold to triple A companies. I don't think they would've had to pay a fortune to publish Emily Is Away if they had the sense to try. We can now influence these companies through online discourse to attempt to do these kinds of things.
16:43 For the record, this is a Scumhead game, the same dev as Vomitoreum and the Shrine games on Steam. He also put out a Steam exclusive sequel that comes with the OG game, and recently a pretty good Metroidvania type game. Good Dev :)
I have recently started to create some UA-cam videos to try to deal with the fact that I am not very happy with my life and trying to do something that makes me happy, and 2:14:17 really hit me hard. Learning from failure is cool but when it happens often it's very easy to give up on your dreams and on yourself. I did not expect to have feelings from a Vinny pack video where we usually just see shitshow games.
I like how Vinny called Rain (the protagonist of Lycanthorn) a guy even tho you can clearly see cleavage in the sprite, that's a certified Vinny moment right there
One of the games from the first Lizard Crate (the one about adopting a demon lizard baby during the apocalypse) had an androgynous protagonist with a female ex, and Vin/a good chunk of chat were referring to the character as “him”. The Steam (or itchio, I forget) page refers to them as a woman, but it’s not mentioned in game/I don’t think they were maliciously misgendering her/I didn’t want to start discourse in the chat, so I said nothing about it at the time.
@@governor_explosion I mean it's not the end of the world, I just found it funny because like I said there's clear cleavage in the sprite seen in game lol
Just in case anybody hasn't played Emily is Away, here's the good ending (spoilers, obviously): no matter what you do, during every time skip you'll be too much of a pussy to get with Emily and reach the same conclusion.
love indie games, itchio, gamejolt, indiedb. fantastic resource for games and ideas thanks for the mixtape and keeping people aware that there are more things to explore than AAA
That werewolf game had great music, Falafel game too. I wonder if you could make a type of electronic music with that type of videogame bgm combined with random Vinny commentary. Saucewave.
I badly want Vinny to play A Short Hike, if he liked Pearl Grabber I think he'll find A Short Hike really satisfying. I got totally sucked into it collecting everything and exploring the island.
I think it’s the way that particular game was being captured. If you notice at the beginning he says it isn’t windowed but it isn’t full screen, and I think however the capture happened it added a delay on the recording side.
This is a super awesome way to compile a bunch of Indies, although obviously expensive to make happen, I can absolutely appreciate what the creators did here!
The number of times this year I've watched Vinny play a niche-ass indie game only for me to see the protag and say "Oh, that's totally not just someone's furry OC" keeps increasing and I feel like I should be concerned.
Good thing you did not play Detritus live, it would've probably doxed you, interesting concept and I don't think that was what the devs intended but you gotta be careful.
I wouldn't even play it not as a streamer. Vin's suggestion of it looking through a specific folder(one that comes with the game) is a better idea. I wouldn't trust a random indie title to scan through my PC and yoink what it finds onto a game.
glad the nixed the overtly furry aspect of Lycanthorn I remember seeing that in development and being very disappointed. You don't need to put your fetish in everything you make
Game jolt is one of those sorts of places where the good games are buried underneath _experiences_ that likely appeared on Sunday stream. And when one does find something good, nintendo swoops in and C&D’s it because usually it’s a good fan game mean while itch the reverse is true, even steam keys can be bought off of itch if a dev offers it. it’s the mileage in quality that I believe is why they are usually overlooked
1:02:00 Oh. My past comes back to haunt me. Fuck this shit. Everyone is Shit. Fuck the human connection and people making stupid choices and blaming you for telling them they'll regret them.
The Gray Leno segment after the Emily game was like a stun grenade suddenly exploding in my face

Gray Leno should have Forklift Man on his show. I feel like it would be a good fit.

Being able to stop and really ask questions about a thing or thought is important. Sometimes we become ruled by bias without even realizing it.
Scepticism is a good thing. Question everything, especially your own existence.
Think critically, [bundle of sticks]

We seem to be getting a lot of Devin coming to say hi on this channel. Anyway, cheers for making an easter egg hunt game!
A lot of these games are nice blasts from the past. I miss the days when I would stay up on a school night to watch Vinny.
"How's your friend Mike?"
"He's doing well, we're thinking of starting a kickass band together."

Clockwork pigeons I have to steal from the local Wizard's tower, blessed streamers like Vinny they send him such wonders for free

You put that Rimworld music away Vinny. I dont need another month long obsession with that game.
Vinny: it's werewolves vs vampires, it's What We Do In The Shadows
Meanwhile every time I think of werewolves vs vampires i think of Underworld
I just think of Wolvez vs Bloodz
You're not invited.
Vampire: f***.
Werewolf: don't care.
I think of Old/New World of Darkness stuff
I love Gray Leno so much I would watch a channel of just him
Wow, so much nostalgia on this. Can't believe how old some of these are
2:16:16 & 2:23:06 Vinny reacts and is able to read the text before they pop up, am I the only one noticing this?
I think it’s the way that particular game was being captured. If you notice at the beginning he says it isn’t windowed but it isn’t full screen, and I think however the capture happened it added a delay on the recording side.
33:53 Is Vinny referencing Crystal Castles or is it just a weird coincidence that the song happen to sound a bit like Crimewave?
