For those who are wondering when did I get good at drawing it was NOT me my little brother is the one who drew the representation of Waldo hes not open for public commissions yet but I love his art and wanted to get him more into the scene, but if anyone does want his art I will let everyone know asap :D hope you enjoy this series was recorded in the past so sadly no live updates for when I inevitably do something stupid or lose something but you can still laugh at me of course.
At first I was like "Man this guy is really going full hard mode, I'm surprised he's not using Magiclysm." then I saw Mind Over Matter, "Oh okay. Gotcha".
The monsters MoM add are actually pretty insane Imo but yeah having both would of just be too much wild wasteland vibes and I like a grim survival game lmfao
I absolutely love playing cdda that's just the effect of a few thousand hours of gameplay and torturing myself with challenges for years I use to play this game before it even had tilesets a cdda boomer dare I say, I just have a lot of experience with movement since well thankfully that has barely changed over the years lmfao but don't worry I still have my face palm moments especially with all the new features
Only game excluding a few classics to steal huge chunks of my life it's truly an incredible game I am glad to convince others to try or boot it back up it's something Im probably gonna die doing lmfao
So cool to see people covering CDDA. I found your channel because youtube studio told me my videos were being recommended from your videos and vice-versa.
Woohoo, 1st comment creds! I'm overjoyed that you started a new Cataclysm series. Looking forward to watching your otaku stumble over the blood and bile in some s***-hole town!
@@OfficerC4 I am planning on having changes to it if things happen to him probably about every 10 episodes will be an update or 5 depending on the circumstance for mutations,bionics and his gear if it's worthy of it like for instance chain mail there would rings on his neck etc.
you can always improve and if you are genuinely like him you're much better off than most actual deadbeats good to see what's wrong with oneself but that same person is the only one who can change it :D unless you're talking about the looks than holy fuck I am so sorry
Haha the thumbnail is hilarious! 😆 👌 Realy wish you would have at least doubled the evolution speed with this charackter and start at least 50 days after the cataclysm, to get a littel more fun monster at the start. 😉 Normal zombies are just to weak and predicable in general for most charackters. 27:08 if you do not need to hide, sneak around zombies, to loot stuff, and avoid fighting as much as possible early game to mid game, then maybe your world is not dangerous enough or your charackter not weak enough.😈
Hey dude great video, super new to the game but really enjoying your commentary style! Just a question I have, what is the purpose of burning down the buildings? Is it just to create a distraction?
It might because youre on a freshly updated version of cdda and the mod needs to be updated (theres a lot and I mean A LOT in secronom even I barely touched the surface my version is months old I heard a lot has changed recently so thats 99% likely the issue had similar stuff in the pass the issue with huge made with love mods)
Niceee find pulling up your channel when watching some old stuff from Vorm. Nice content man. May I ask what soundpack you are using currently? Loved the rain sound tbh. Might be @'s but I'm not sure.
Ayo seriously love your style , can somebody PLEASE check if zombies killed by summoned animated blades add to your bombastic exp ? Gotta check this for balancing reasons
Really don't see the appeal, never seen a rogue-"thing" be so schizophrenic about its gameplay and mechanics. And by the gods - i haven't seen combat this bad in a roguelike ever. Combined with the early game grind just to even get past the first day, it just seems like one of the most insanely tedious and mind numbing rogue experiences ive ever had. Then i play Qud after and it makes me feel like ive just taken a drink of water after years of roaming a salt desert.
Its why I love it lmfao! Its THE "you're not that guy" game its become more of a *IRL* for everything terrible at once simulator over the years which I prefer but it is by far the most honest rogue like I ever played fair? Absolutely not but it makes it very clear that it is not fair and when you play you must think that way it does not hold your hand it doesnt tell you how good you exactly are, you are just a fragment of an old world clinging to the story as it ends. Youre no hero or demi god you are a teacher a drunkard caught naked with a towel or a fireman in the middle of a city as it burns down having a horde scopes. The combat is very similar to the design of the entire game you are not a gladitor with years of killing experience, its quite literally 99% of the time the first thing the character ever attacked making it obvious that well they suck lmfao! and funny you mention QUD cause its combat is identical to CDDA you walk into things hope you get good RNG until they die or you get low and run or use mutations from a distance and kite the timers or get stunlocked by a equinx pack and die just its a lot prettier cause its based on fun and fantasy not reality (plus actually amazing sprite art!). Plus it takes months if not years to master certain styles and skills irl, they want to make you unironically practicing for weeks if not months in game (The whole reason for the proficiency skills being so difficult to level but are still insanely fast compared to irl trust me it could be even worse lmfao!) Its not for everyone but it follows the bread and butter principles of combat for rouge likes just well its actually trying to kill you not reward you for success. And for the tedium I absolutely agree the controls are insane, you have to dedicate a 3rd of your brain for life just to remember and need 7 keyboards to butcher a gopher! But its also what gives you the most creative problem solving abilites Ive ever seen in a game! Instead of secret combos or finds its practical and pragmatic and more immersive way to outsmart the game than knowing meta info for a run in the future. The tedium is designed in mind to prevent meta advantages. best and immserive way to prevent something from happening is to make it a possibilty of it to never happen just like life you think in the moment and see what happens in the future not when you die and know for next time it is a permadeath run afterall. You are very correct but this game wasnt designed for fun nor you nor anyone its peak survival and horror you are a victim to a uncaring, unloving, unfair world if you realize that living past the first day IMO is an achivement for any player since you arent even supposed to live the first second. Like seriously how long could YOU survive the cataclysm I know Id be dead in minutes thats what CDDA was designed to be you are not wrong though and thats exactly why I keep coming back!
@@cunningrat_ Appreciate your response, and i do see your points. However, Qud is much more forgiving in the sense the mechanics are specifically built to make that style of combat emgaging early game. Everything in the early game is just as weak as you are, with exceptions, you can heal easily, and you can see where your soft limits are power wise quite easily early on. Qud also gives you a wide variety of options in dealing with threats early game, which comes down to the fact that literally all of your choices equipment and skill/mutation wise will matter at some point during exploration. The tedium for me doesnt come from the control scheme, but from the gameplay itself, it doesn't feel immersive or engaging that my character literally cannot stand combat with the equivalent of a hostile sack of meat without injury.
@@cunningrat_ CDDA's immersion breaks heavily for me with combat, most dont need combat training to swing a 2x4 and step back so you dont get scratched and grabbed. The game honestly should start right at the point the cataclysm begins, literally no NPC except a few at the shelter know how they actually got out of the cataclysm, its a collective psychosis most likely from the Blob. THAT is the point 90% of humanity got game ended, and the massive riots. I couldnt survive the early stages, but i could certainly NOT stand shoulder distance from a Zed and swing a object in grabbing distance.
Placing more than 1 fire source around each other increases the heat and spread chance drastically allowing for faster more wild fires but only do it if not inside or else thats all gg
It's one of the base mods you can install from the cdda launcher itself OR base game it should be right there honestly similar to no hope or even megafauna but if it's not there could be just left over data that magically works on my ends from all the years almost decade of playing
@@Leverquin OH snap I am very basically knowledge on linux (also congrats on being free from windows for many reasons to why linux should be used but ignore my personal politics) for cdda since I only ever had it on windows BUT it would probably be it's own entire thing knowing the tar process and all but sadly it's more theoretical for my assistance BUT it should have it's own entire catalog for the .tar but other than that I am sadly useless.
@@Leverquin perfectly fine man somedays reality just ain't what it all seems still incredible progress on your own since I already have issues for windows let alone linux or god forbid ubuntu for getting this gem to shin seriously you probably can start a damn good channel showing how to get that stuff working! (obviously no need to follow just well congrats for being a fucking pioneer really lmfao)
just adds another more terrifying variant of the goo basically a sentient flesh like organism (roaming high tech experiments got awry or hordes of unique monsters) but it's mainly a flavor mod since it adds so many unique and dangerous monsters that are extremely unique in danger and add overall utility to hordes that is lacking currently and provides a more let's say terrible time lmfao
Ngl that would be more of a live stream thing because I am not good at it enough to do a let's would br a million episode ones lmfao but maybe one day just cannot promise anything
this is the tile set I use might be updated so probably even better now versus the series! github.com/Theawesomeboophis/UndeadPeopleTileset but may have issues as well no clue but this is 100% it
Don't watch simple as. Also It's good to explain what's going on since 99.99999% of people who watch have 0 idea what is going on, and learn by KNOWING what is what and how it's happening.
honestly I love it minor inconvenience for it actually getting me damn good sometimes, to the point I have wasted ammo and gotten myself killed cause of a well placed fitting monster that warrants the necessity to not take the chance, I thank secronom for that tbf makes kaluptic 10x worse in actual gameplay danger lmfao!
Oh I do not use magicylsm in this run anyways just not in my taste I find it extremely off setting for the world waldo is in and some buildings are very similar do not worry I probably lost a life time supply of goods lmfao!

This kinda shit always cracks me the fuck up lmfao

amazing drawing TBH, perfectly captures the crusty neet aesthetic
RIGHT!?!? Hes literally how I would see this poor fucking guy lmfao!!! He loved making him too hes a big fan of wacky art so it just made sense.
The art is really good! Your also a sweet older brother
waldo: "I'm Him"
Narrator: "he's a genetic dead-end, pathetic and completely hopeless."
Actually the initial apocalypse did not spare him out of pity, it spared him so it could watch him struggle.
"I need to burn down a building..."

Lord have mercy! A whole new CDDA run by the King Rat himself?

Sweet!!! Always great to see more Cata from you man!
Waldo is probably the worst thing I have made so I am glad someone can enjoy it lmfao
Watching you play CDDA with such fluidity made me a lil jealous. This is fun and smooth to watch

Hard not to like Waldo when he's put in such a horrid situation, ya gotta root for him. He's a loser, but he's not a bad dude.
Exactly!

Glory to rng is still on going just been doing more play than editing lmfao
holy moly great thumbnail
My little brother made it!
God you have the most fitting names for characters. 😂
I LOVE making the names fit the theme as much as possible it and to be fair who THE FUCK names thsir kid waldo if they dont look like that lmfao!
This next point isn’t said enough, the drawing/background is awesome.
I know I’d be a bit of an ask but having a different degen background for every episode would be stellar.
@@OfficerC4 I am planning on having changes to it if things happen to him probably about every 10 episodes will be an update or 5 depending on the circumstance for mutations,bionics and his gear if it's worthy of it like for instance chain mail there would rings on his neck etc.

Oh man i hope you know your cdda stuff cos i enjoy a good struggle but not a noob struggle 😂👍
Awesome video dude
wooooo new content!!! (that im 12 days late for)
You actually can use the quarterstaff to train up melee
woah he's just like me....

Realy wish you would have at least doubled the evolution speed with this charackter and start at least 50 days after the cataclysm, to get a littel more fun monster at the start. 😉
Normal zombies are just to weak and predicable in general for most charackters.
27:08 if you do not need to hide, sneak around zombies, to loot stuff, and avoid fighting as much as possible early game to mid game, then maybe your world is not dangerous enough or your charackter not weak enough.😈
Tbf I didn't even think he would last the first episode but with how terrible he is it's fine imo man struggles fighting a single zombie child lmfao!
Hey dude great video, super new to the game but really enjoying your commentary style! Just a question I have, what is the purpose of burning down the buildings? Is it just to create a distraction?
Yes, Burning down a house is a great strategy in this game, the sound of the house being destroyed attracts the zombies attention and burns them too
I wish Secronom worked for me instead of crashing me to desktop every time I start a run
It might because youre on a freshly updated version of cdda and the mod needs to be updated (theres a lot and I mean A LOT in secronom even I barely touched the surface my version is months old I heard a lot has changed recently so thats 99% likely the issue had similar stuff in the pass the issue with huge made with love mods)
