Live Game Development
Every Wednesday @ 8 PM (EST)
Part of the Back-2-Back WIP Wednesday stream! Tune in earlier at 6 PM EST for LD's animation and art show. He is the lead artist for Skylance Studio.

Weekend Gaming Hangout
Every Saturday Evening (EST)

If there is anything you want to see, feel free to suggest it. I will not play every game suggested however. I will play games I like or are interested in. I am also sometimes interested in altered playthroughs, such as when I played Symphony of the Night I limited myself to not equipping any defensive equipment, and using the Luck code.

Also, if I happen to be playing an online game you are more than welcome to also jump in with me.

Hmm, that's a maybe from me. I don't know if I'll be busy at that time.

Not sure if I can get a chance to watch your livesteams. Not having a computer is [sonic slicer].

Fxeni · **Reply #3 on:** October 23, 2014, 03:11:19 AM

Can't watch if it's on Halloween, I'll be too busy playing Super Castlevania.

How do you post here? Twitch has an Android app if you use that. iOS likely has it too.

We could do a "(The Day After) Halloween Special (Cause Everyone's Busy)" maybe if too many people can't make it.

He uses the Xbox Browser, and I think I can make that.

ViperAcidZX · **Reply #6 on:** October 23, 2014, 04:00:19 AM

That and Wii Opera Browser when Xbox Internet Explorer like acts like [parasitic bomb]. I've tried using the Twitch app on my 360 so I could try to watch Vixy's live but it was crap (it was annoying to use from what I remembered and it had no search function unlike other video apps, making it impossible to find Vixy at all). I might try the app again if they fixed it.

I'll be at work that night. Sorry!

OBJECTION MAN · **Reply #8 on:** October 23, 2014, 02:38:43 PM

~~If we pushed it to the day after Halloween would everyone be able to make it more easily?~~

Screw it. Let's make this less complicated and make it a DOUBLE NIGHT STREAM.

October 31st AND November 1st

There's a lot of Castlevania's to pick from so there's no shortage of material, that's for sure.

OBJECTION MAN · **Reply #9 on:** October 24, 2014, 07:21:26 PM

(Edit: [parasitic bomb], we don't have the merge posts button anymore? Sorry

)

To note: Fan games that are not rom hacks I will accept as suggestions for what to play, but the legality of some emulation is too iffy and I'd rather avoid it if possible.

That said I own the UMD's and dumped all my PSP isos personally, so that is fair game for me to use a PSP emulator with them to get a high resolution, provided the emulator works for the game. It currently doesn't seem to support DXC correctly though (really bad graphic glitches). However I can hook my PSP-Slim to the tv if all else fails, and video capture that.

The way I have my entertainment system setup makes it extremely easy to capture video from a wide range of inputs, and this weekend I'm going to be verifying which consoles I can indeed capture from. Then I can get a better idea of which games I can play on stream. And yes, that means I will be using original hardware where possible, so no save state or cheating bullshit or any of that.

EDIT:

Updated first post to include times.

October 31st : 7PM EST (11PM GMT)
November 1st : Subject to how I feel the next day.

There's no consequences for double posting anymore; not since the merge button vanished.

Feel free to double post your updates, if you want.

OBJECTION MAN · **Reply #11 on:** October 28, 2014, 01:56:04 PM

Thinking about playing Kid Dracula which I've actually never played before.

Also going to play Serio's Castlevania Fighter game. There's an update coming for Halloween with new characters and bosses.

Castlevania ReBirth was really good, and I think it's time for another run through that.

I've been thinking about Harmony of Dissonance too.

I still haven't finished the extraordinarily good Lecarde Chronicles CV fangame. It's hard as hell but a really really good game.

I could do a no-armor luck code run of Symphony too maybe.

Any suggestions / requests?

ViperAcidZX · **Reply #12 on:** October 28, 2014, 03:37:47 PM

Is a naked run of Aria of Sorrow possible?

Phi · **Reply #13 on:** October 28, 2014, 03:55:41 PM

Naked or not naked, an Aria of Sorrow run would be wonderful.

I'm also not opposed to a Symphony run.

Perhaps. I probably can only get away with one big exploration title like that though. They soak up a lot more time than the other styles of Castlevania (give or take on how much you die lol).

If you had to pick just one 'metroidvania' which would it be?

OBJECTION MAN · **Reply #15 on:** October 30, 2014, 04:47:17 PM

OK, so a little update. Everything seems on task for tomorrow. I may not be able to use as much original hardware as I would like. While I can hook them up easily enough to my system, the capture card I'm using doesn't seem to take Component input that isn't of a certain format (720i/p and up). If I can get this working I will, but I may have to use Virtual Console titles to fill the gaps.

If you have a DS emulator available, I wouldn't mind seeing one of those CVs. I guess I'd prefer Dawn of Sorrow.

SotN is always a good choice as well. Naked Luck Mode sounds fun.

Phi · **Reply #17 on:** October 30, 2014, 10:37:33 PM

How many games do you expect to play on the 31st?

If I could pick one Metroidvania, it'd be Aria of Sorrow. I really do like Symphony of the Night, but Aria of Sorrow to be had a much more interesting story for a Castlevania game to me and the ability use powers from the monsters was pretty cool.

Since I'm terrible that could be just a few >_> I guess it all depend son how well I'm performing. As long as I'm not falling asleep I'll be running through em. Or die trying... a lot.

I'm getting a lot of positive remarks about naked luck code SotN, so I think that's what I'll do for my mandatory metroidvania on the 31st. It's not stupidly long so I can most likely clear it within a few hours or so.

I really want to try Kid Dracula for lulz, and do a Castlevania Chronicles run for kicking my teeth in.

I'll probably start with Kid Dracula cause it's got baby Alucard fighting a KKK Nazi for reasons. Can't beat that.

Expect Super Castlevania IV for sure. Probably on Nov1st.

ViperAcidZX · **Reply #20 on:** October 31, 2014, 12:28:21 AM

I just hope the Twitch app will let me watch your stream on my Xbox if I can't use my brother's PC.

OBJECTION MAN · **Reply #21 on:** October 31, 2014, 12:32:50 AM

Also just because I don't get to a specific game this time doesn't mean I won't be streaming other CV games later on either. Your AoS dreams will come true eventually.

OBJECTION MAN · **Reply #22 on:** October 31, 2014, 10:36:29 PM

Getting my stuff setup... You might see me pop on and off before 7 as I test things. See you guys there!

Phi · **Reply #23 on:** October 31, 2014, 10:39:11 PM

Since I don't have a Twitch account, I can only watch, rather than comment. Unless you wouldn't mind using this topic for commenting, as well.

OBJECTION MAN · **Reply #24 on:** October 31, 2014, 11:25:41 PM

I can try and keep an eye on it.
