Let's Play Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead - Episode 5: DIY Deathtrap
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 апр 2023
- The devs are at it again! Melee combat has become a lot more difficult thanks to some recent changes, so Mellifera has to figure out another way to survive.
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is a turn-based survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world. Struggle to survive in a harsh, persistent, procedurally generated world. Scavenge the remnants of a dead civilization for food, equipment, or, if you are lucky, a vehicle with a full tank of gas to get you the hell out of Dodge. Fight to defeat or escape from a wide variety of powerful monstrosities, from zombies to giant insects to killer robots and things far stranger and deadlier, and against the others like yourself, that want what you have…
Gameplay is from Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead's 2023-04-03 experimental release. Experimental builds can be found at cataclysmdda.org/experimental/
Music is from CO.AG, packaged with the game's CC-Sounds pack / @co.agmusic
We've also got a track from Barotrauma and Manhunt 2.

Mellifera is ADHD for sure, we need water, so let's trap the hallways and work on those leather patches, where the hell i left that kindle? please continue to bring us those awesome episodes!
She definitely gets it from me 😅 I am like this IRL, minus all the violence.
Especially with how often she doesn't realize she is getting ravenously hungry and just continues doing her tasks 😂 My partner has autism and maybe some attention deficit disorder, and this is pretty much how she approaches her work days, just doing task after task while not realizing she missed lunch.
As much as I love your narration, I also really enjoyed your little thematic drawings and overlays. Keep at it!
Thanks! The game is a little text-heavy, so I like to sprinkle some images in.
@@mutantwormgirl It's reminiscent of Kruggsmash and his freaking amazing DF illustrations.
@@TekisasubakaniKruggsmash rocks, I need to check back in on his channel and see what he's been up to
The sheer value you got from that home alone trap shows how effective any form of static defense would be in a zombie scenario
Slowly beocming Father Grigori from Half-Life.
@@mutantwormgirl In ravenholm... you do well, to be vigilant! (Also I love this series so deeply!)
Ive found myself eagerly looking forward to each installment of this series! Thanks for your efforts!
Thank you so much! It's been a lot of fun to put together.
I am in love with this series, CDDA and Termina are both banger games, you have good taste
What can I say, I enjoy suffering.
My favorite series of Cataclysm DDA so far. Looking forward to a Magiclysm series next btw.
i second that
As a new player to CDDA, I have found your content incredibly helpful, and your storytelling helps keep things interesting. Keep it up, I look forward to seeing what you make next!
Just what I needed to help me get through a day of sitting on the couch and coughing my lungs up. Keep up the good work!
Aw, I hope you feel better soon. I had the plague back at Christmastime and it was pretty miserable.
The best C:DDA series I know!
And what's more, it is very informative and enlightening.
The great Worm Girl, may I call you my sensei?
I will teach you everything I know, and together we can defeat the Project Zomboid dojo.
Our patience has been rewarded. Looking forward to watching this, thank you.
The Goblin keeps on getting deadlier.
I appreciate the commitment to RP and the VIBES
excellent vibes.
Good good
I am blown away every episode. This is all I ever wanted from Let's Plays about this game (except for the mutations/bionics stuff, but ONE SERIES AT A TIME!!!). SO cool. I could watch this for 2 years. Thank you for the production!
11:12 This whole segment is a great example. After trying out and properly explaining a new experimental feature, and promising to roleplay a key character trait, we get chill, exemplified and hilarious explanations of it, while some great gootage plays over it. I love your talking style, not only in how you say, but also _what_ you say. The tone does help tho. Just what I like. Keep it up
25:06 Wait really? Well, they got buffed in combat so I guess that's fine. It was a legacy feature tho
Thanks! And yeah. The feature made more sense when houses were mostly empty, but spawn density got changed so that 90% of zombies weren't outside, which made sneaking really difficult.
All the zombie hunter/predator/snappers etc. still have scent, as well as anything that had it when it was alive, so I think night raiders will have an interesting time trying to deal with those enemies without making too much noise and luring the non-smellers in.
gootage
@@farouit2744 reminds me of my comemnt in ASGORE, where everyone keeps saying I misspelled "Papyrus'".
I can listen to you narrate for hours. Thank you for making these videos.
Even just listening to this series without visuals gets me in the CDDA headspace
love how much sharper these videos have gotten, esp. w/tightening up the speed of the fast-forwarding & the lil inserts. i'm honestly amazed you've made such an in-your-head, slow-thinking game engaging to watch in one, unbroken take. real good shit!
You've completely onboarded me to this game, and also changed the way I approach these sort of games. I paused after my first fight, spent a few periods analysing the situation, running it all in my head, smoked a cigarette (too bad game doesn't let you cut it short unless interrupted) and crouched in the corner for half an hour. Then got up and got shit done. Most fun I've had in a long time playing, reminded me of the good old DnD days where we'd do things just because they felt right, and we had the freedom. Incredible game, and incredible work on your narration!
I missed this comment in the shuffle but this is exactly what I was hoping to hear. This is a game where it's so easy to optimize yourself out of having fun, but if you really lean into the roleplay, it opens way up.
Ahh! So fast! I'm so excited to watch this on my break! Thank Madam Worm.
This is the kind of game I don't have the patience to play, but really enjoy to listen/watch. I really enjoy this, thanks and keep it up.
I love these episodes. Your voice is very pretty. This game is so damn incredible. I just rolled a random character out in the forest with a farm milking cows! Raising chickens! This game never ceases to amaze me. You can also start in Prison, One of the hardest places to get out of because it's like an island full of zombie dogs and Hulking prisoners.
There are so many weird and cool ways to start the game. The first two weeks are usually my favorite. Overrun is a lot of fun - they put you on a military base locked in a warehouse with all the food and weapons you could want, but there are hundreds of zombies outside and escape is very difficult. It's a great way to flip the game on its head.
@@mutantwormgirl I have a trick for this. Use the forklift in the warehouse to bust through the front gate. It usually has enough charge to get you out of the base.
Cool, something nice to watch for breakfast.
Btw! You should get featured on the CDDA subhu- subreddit.
Oh right, I should message the mods, thanks for the reminder.
GDLFDKL THE WAY YOU WENT
*"We want that cake."*
LMAO
Just notified about the video, preparing dinner right now, but commenting to signal the zom- I mean, bots of the YT algorithm that this is good stuff
15:15 you really just found that zombie saw his tablet and said “do you have games on your phone” and then killed him
And I didn't even take the tablet with me when I left 😂
@@mutantwormgirl lulz
These new changes seem pretty good so far, especially the grapples. ^_^
Also, the glass corridor seems like a perfect place to put some traps right outside of it, if you could safely sneak out at night.
Somehow I didn't think of that. Amazing what slips your mind. The next episode's already recorded, but I'll try to remember to give it a go in the one after that.
Ah yes, melee needed to be more dangerous. /s
Not too worried for you though, given you apparent mastery of this game. Glad to see this series continue.
If realism is the goal, grappling is the goat. Unless you're armed. Or outnumbered. Or trip.
Jokes aside, someone clinching and taking you down is a violent, intense, and often *fast* thing to deal with (yay for collegiate wresting). It should be stronger; the grappling in the game that is. Not that I think you disagree just ramblin'.
To quote the dwarf fortress community, losing is fun.
Really good. Was thrilled when I saw a new episode pop up. Keep it up and take your time
I absolutely love this series! Have you ever tried Caves of Qud? Might be another game worth checking out. In any case, love the channel, keep it up!
I love Qud! That's definitely on the short list.
@@mutantwormgirl A Qud let's play by you would be extremely hype. 😀
Love this series, so immersive
Great episode as usual! Thanks again for all the work you put into these and your recent F&H videos too!
I love how you explain mechanics too, just enough to keep us in the loop. I've played *far too much* of this game, and I still learn new tidbits from you.
Any plans to review other games too? Ever tried Cataclysm: Bright Nights? DO YOU LIKE BEING ASKED QUESTIONS????
The other forks have never really held my attention, but I will be looking at other games. I don't mind answering questions ☺️
I quite enjoyed your Fear and Hunger videos and now, finding your Cataclysm videos, I also quite enjoy them!
As a new watcher, all i can say is. Welcome back, this series is something i greatly enjoy. Like a tv series, not quite TWD but i do enjoy the more serious and dramatic feeling of it.
You have an extremely calming voice. You could narrate anything and it would be calming.
I really enjoy your Cataclysm videos please keep making them. Also you have a very cute voice.😊
It’s wormin time!
The nail and board trap is something I mainly used when baiting large groups -- but I like the idea of just poppin down in a known funnel. Also -- ouch.
Hey worm girl! I really enjoy your narration and storytelling, and cdda is such a cool game! This channel is peak comf, I'm eagerly awaiting the next chapter of Mel's misadventures!
The Worm provides!!!
I really love your video series. They're a great mix of informative and entertaining and it's been fun to see your survivor struggle along and slowly improve. It's super fun how you roleplay most effects and justify your character actions in realistic ways, I have difficulty when it comes to not playing super optimally.
As a person who played this game for a lot of years I'm impressed by your determination and desire to continue these series even despite small number of views. Open world roguelikes are pretty cool, but goal oriented roguelikes are the pinnacle of the genre. As a person who managed to finish 15 runes run in Stone Soup I can tell you no other game gave me the same thrill and terror
Hey Worm Girl, I just wanted to say your CDDA content has been great. Your original something awful LP inspired me to finally figure out the game and start playing, and this one got me to play the Mall start, which has now led me to also figure out coding, just to get Soap into the bathrooms! So thanks for the truly inspiring content.
I saw your PR, thanks for contributing! The review process can be brutal, but it's a badly needed merge so hopefully we get there in one form or another.
Congrats on getting your PR merged! Now the next mall survivor will have all the soap they need.
Another great episode! Please keep going!
To your comment that "no one would be able to quit addiction that quickly," I would just say that I quit smoking irl in about two months (your in-game time shows day 65 at that comment). The physical withdrawals are cleared from the body in the first two weeks, and from that point onwards, it's all mental. I quit by weening off just like your character is technically doing.
Also great job on narration. I love this kind of story telling in sandbox games.
Congrats on quitting, and thanks!
I do so love the way you "flavor" the various non-descriptive food, like gummy candy, can't all be the same thing. Swedish Fish and Sour Patch Kids, it's simple, and not necessary, but man does it go a long way for some that enjoys roleplaying, like I do. Also, nail boards, big, dually noted. >:D
Love this series. Just got back into CDDA after trying and failing to really get anything started. This series really helped me get over the learning curve.
Just started playing cdda myself thanks to you! Also 21:20 my delivery has come *grabs heroin* 😂
Many thanks!
Have you thought about making Cataclysm Bright Nights Let's play?
I have tried BN, but I prefer DDA's design philosophy, and I just can't play without pockets.
@@mutantwormgirl Pockets for days!
Thanks for the amazing content. Just picked up Fear and Hunger Termina cuz of you and I think I'm gonna have to start playing this too.
It feels good to be making a difference in the world. ☺️
(jk, thank you, glad I could put you onto some cool stuff!)
Loving this series, love your style. You remind me of Rycon in the best ways. Please keep going!
I'm hopelessly addicted to Cataclysm and really invested in your series, really good stuff
This is a positive message for the algo (and hopefully you too WG). I wandered over after a friend dropped a link to Gray's story, gotta echo a few folks here in that I could listen to you all day, just a nice relaxing voice.
Thanks for the vid and keep on keeping on!
I must say, I've bounced off of Cataclysm a few times now - but now that I've watched your tutorial series as well as this one... Suffice it to say, it has finally gotten its rotten, necrotic claws in deep.
Eagerly waiting for work to end so I can watch this!
I haven't done much with traps before aside digging some pits around my bases, may have to look into using spike traps in areas where I can set up choke points! Seem to work well against lingering stumblers.
I’m new to your channel and I’ve been absolutely loving this series. Your storytelling approach is so engaging, it’s been inspiring me to start playing CDDA again!
11:03 I never waded through a crowd of zeds irl, but I have fought my way through a crowd of pissed off teens back in high school. With a living, pain feeling grabber that's of similar strength it's actually pretty easy to break free. Then again, I used to and still do weight training on a regular basis which left me strong enough to carry a grabber to use as a shield and plow through some of the weaker looking guys. For typical movie undead that might still work, but just one CDDA zeds is strong enough to smash boulders with their bare hands so I'm not sure.
They currently feel a little like Romero zombies, which are like, rigor mortis strong and can pull people apart with their bare hands. 😅 They definitely need to calm them down a bit.
On the other hand, Mel is like 5'3" so she's not wrasslin' in her own weight class against most of these guys.
getting high and sorting zombie loot in the service corridors of a mall would fix me
Took me roughly 4 years to get over smoking.
And it was literally a case of having a significant other tell me she didn't appreciate me smoking. So it was a case where I only quit looking at another person's cigarette with envy by having a ruthless physical exercise regimen (replace nicotine withdrawal with running highs and lactic acid burn), spending nights congratulating myself (with her company) with a bottle of wine to further satiate other impulses, and *the love of my life* telling me I should quit and providing an emotional bulwark against cravings.
Four years, that's how long it took to the point where I didn't think of having a smoke every time I saw someone light up theirs.
Now naturally, not every person is the same. People have different psyches, different neuropsychological processes going on, different tolerances for stress.... But still, nicotine is ridiculously addictive.
Smokers get way too much scorn. I've been there, and I'll never be one of those 'holier-than-thou' ex-smokers. Because it is literally the hardest thing you can do once nicotine addiction sets in. I'd rather go through seven years of UG and post-grad studies all over again than try to give up smoking.
So those friends of mine that still smoke, I understand why they either have trouble quitting or simply are disillusioned and take it back up. It's *rough* ... And frankly, people lumping scorn on smokers, most of them have never had a drug addiction in their life--And they pretend like it's merely a condition of ethics or willpower. Screw those people.
It's one of those things where you'll try, you'll fail, you'll try a new strategy, possibly fail that, and it requires building up a body of strategies that work for you. Personalized for you. And every smoker who tries to quit, even if they fail, deserve a shot of empathy and congratulations they tried.
Nicotine dependency is a hell of a hard thing to give up. Easily harder than even opioids after a bad and persistent injury event I suffered.
If I had to deal with the stress of the world ending around me, just scraping by to survive in an ultra-violent world--One replete with unsmoked tobacco in every convenience store, in every service station I plundered, in every supermarket I dig through for cans of food, in every mall I raided.
Like, no. Sorry. Lung cancer is the least of my problems.
Every death rattle of the zombies from the nailtrap i imagine an *Assist!* popup...
Great job, keep it up!
You are so much better at this game than I am - it's not even funny. That's purely down to patience. I don't have nearly enough. I would have Leroy Jenkins'd myself long ago. I know this for a fact because when I tried to recreate this playthrough, that is EXACTLY what I did. Many times.
Yay!! I'm so glad this came out so quickly
Love this series!
Another thrilling episode now with lethal home alone flavor! Thanks for another episode Worm Girl. Your narration is fun as always 😄
Gather, kin! The Worm Girl graces us again!
Nice video!
So, pretty good odds that Kevin McAllister survived in the CDDA-verse? :D
I love me some good traps.
I never played in a Mall but I think being in Prison with limited items you can hands on is harder than it seems. The characters that have strong Strength fare better in Prison than a Smarter one, hopefully clearing the courtyard once you get hands on cudgel and get level 3 in melee and get hold on pipe mace. The only problem in prison is how long can you lockpick doors and it took at least 2-4 days lockpicking even with improvised lockpick.
I am only thankful for the tables in the canteen serving as obstacles to hinder the zombies, and it is great if you have parkour expert, allowing you to move normally.
Been waiting for this!
New episode LET'S GO
Spam: Smells and tastes like wet catfood.
SPAM is delicious!
Even uncooked? It probably tastes fine fried but I cannot handle it raw.
2:23 As someone that does occasionally get a hankering for a smoke, I usually forget about it once I start doing anything at all. I never quit, but at the rate of a cigarette every 2-3 months it’s definitely like that for some people. I honestly just stopped smoking as often and all the negative effects(headache, crankiness,etc.) I just sorta ignored or drank something warm.
Hell yea a new worm Video.
Thanks for all these vids! Learning a lot! Really great listening for a newbie still learning the ropes. Thanks for talking about the different updates between the versions. Do you think Melli will ultimately use mutagens?
Mutation is my favorite thing in the game, so I have no doubt.
@@mutantwormgirl oh cool! that says a lot- i know almost nothing about them. I really want to learn more about it, so this will be good for me. Great! (I dont like reading through guides, these vids are way better transmission of knowledge IMO). Thanks!
-We want that cake- I laughed out loud.
The Home Alone Massacre at Steeplegate Mall would be an excellent movie adaptation name.
So, Fort Mall is a success so far.... just wonder if there are any Hulks wandering about.
i am loving this show so much atm, also how is everyone enjoying G.0 update the calories killed my freakishly large character by making me emaciated. and considering i had to eat about a whole cow a day, which has not changed much i starved from malnutrision.
Oh damn, you are making CDDA videos again?! I guess I will have to subscribe to not miss anything.
I thought the channel gone offline
I know I'm commenting this way too late to make a difference, but as a strategic gamer myself I'd have started to mass produce those traps and cordon off the area between the hunting shop and the under garments shop so as to create a safe throughfare and slowly pushed it to the west on a as needed basis.
Just to add; this in no way should affect your gameplay and I quite enjoyed it. Would love to see more of this type of content.
love your videos, now you have to disassemble the chairs after deconstructing them!!, takes up a lot of time though idk if i like the change
21:12 Zombie LootCrate™
I am entertained!
why dont you put some spike traps on the other side of the glass, so while you craft the bodies hit the floor on the other side
Lets's GOOOOOO
Let The Bodies Hit The Floor
Let The Bodies Hit The Floor

I don't play with the sounds so I had no idea they were so useful. 🤔
Babe! Wake up! New Worm Girl C:DDA vid just dropped!
...
Oh, wait, I'm alone. Ah, well! Still got a new vid to watch!
How do you wait one turn?
I always get hit trying to let the zeds come to me by moving around, and the wait command only does it for 20 seconds or more.
How do you wait just one turn?
Press . or the middle numpad button (5).

You're such a Worm Girl. In the best way.
Your the best CDDA streamer by far. Do you narrate for someone else???
Aetherstronghold??
Don't know 'em, I am just over here doing gameplay and narration for my own channel and not much else.
And thank you! I am happy that so many people are vibing with this series. It's a lot of fun to slow the action down and roleplay a bit more than I would on my own.
You are quick at going through loot and crafting. Alot of streamers spend too much time starring at the crafting menu. I personally like seeing what's around the next corner and viewing the randomly generated maps.
What tileset are you using?
MSXOtto+, it comes with the game.
Wonderful! I leave this comment as sacrifice to Algoritmos.
Your comment is nothing more than a ode to the pain and suffering of everything good in this entire planet!
👍
worm waifu posted another bombshell of a vid.
The sounds of your game are the default ones or do i have to download a pack or something?
CC-Sounds comes with the game and has all the music. @'s soundpack is the SFX. I usually swap between them or go into the files and combine them.
@@mutantwormgirl do you have a guide of where you download your game and how you configure it? I mean, an updated one, or you use the same config that you explain in the 101 series?
