Luciën Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Hello community, After I've started playing the long dark, I ended up watching quite a few Let's Plays on video service Youtube. I quite liked Graystillplays (although he is one speedy conversationalist) and loved the stuff of @Hadrian (I know he's around somewhere). Both Gray and Hadrian were fun enough to watch complete series. So, if you needed any tips. Hadrian is particularly cool because of his fantastic cliffhangers and for commenting on "Mark" and "Jennifer" (the voice actors involved). Lately, I have been on the lookout for something in particular. Not a Let's Play with player commentary as with Hadrian but a particular Let's Play with the player doing improvised voice acting as if the 'voice' of the player is speaking in character. So would the movement. So... less instructions and more story building (as do most of us). I feel immersion increases when you actively add your own story to a survival playthrough. I noticed there are a few tricks to make moving through the regions less game-like and more natural. I am thinking of doing one myself (which would be totally the first time) but I was guessing this would have been done before by someone else.

ajb1978 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Just make sure you let your neighbors know you're doing this, if you intend to voice-act a bear mauling with screams and such. I was recording some angry dialogue for a flash collab like...whew probably 15 years ago or so, and the neighbors called the police. They legit thought it was a domestic disturbance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luciën Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 Maybe I should start going on a survival pilgrimage But yes, being mauled by a bear, that brings in some shocking script. One reason to avoid being fought. Let's hope this character of mine has got some common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadrian Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 *quietly looks up from tidying his shelter* Huh. Could have sworn I heard something just now. ... *shrugs and goes back to arranging matches* -H PS. Awesome idea. Holler if you found one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luciën Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Exactly that! You know people start talking to themselves when they're lonely... Most people do. I guess. Hello? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to resurrect an old thread... but I would absolutely LOVE something like this. Did anyone end up doing this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luciën Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 I'm not sure, but I didn't. Although it would still rock, I agree. I guess I could give it a try. I would be most easy doing it in Dutch though as it is my mother tongue. I guess desperation sounds the same in any language! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
