The Epic Games Store is Not Good
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июл 2024
- "How can we improve our platform to make it better than Steam, and to return respect to the once legendary name of Epic Games? How about we start letting any random person put whatever shovelware #crypto #nft games on the store, without any semblance of quality control or oversight?"
This is the question that must have been asked when the decision was made to allow blockchain games on the #epicgames store. Join me again as I play and review 3 more amazing games available on the platform. Have my opinions on crypto games finally changed, and did I find one that's actually good?
What do you think?

As always, thanks for watching! Any specific games you want to see me play next or prioritize for the next episode? What about other, non-Epic Games Store crypto games? What about normal games? Let me know your thoughts!
Like I mentioned in the video, here is the link to my Ko-Fi page, if you're interested in supporting the channel:

God speed
on the topic of you getting a shit ton of subs in a very shot period of time. i would have to assume that the 3024 scam is probably what put you on everyones radar since its such a bizzar scam. at least, that vids what got me to sub so id assume its similar for a lot of people.
Normal games? Ooooh, play E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy
My man's on a mission o7.
It's great to see more people pushing back against this festering wave of 'games' that exist only to fuel a speculator market.
2:12 Epic, likely intentional, self-burn by the devs. I say likely intentional because I don't think putting the Bitcoin logo on a nuclear power plant was some kind of thing that could be interpreted as something other than "Crypto will destroy the environment.". They are literally straight up saying "Bitcoin is evil.". Although, the purple futuristic building looks like it has the Ethereum logo in it, and this game does seem pretty serious, so take my theory that the devs are self-aware with quite a few grains of salt.
Apeiron is the first game you covered that just makes me sad. A perfectly fine game with potential getting absolutely marred by abusive monetization that puts AAA live services to shame. This NFT trend can't die soon enough
Yeah, I’d be legitimately interested in it if it weren’t for the crypto and p2w aspects
Agreed, it looks fun espically if it waws just a mobile title, but it is not something that is worth $50
Crypto's only purpose is to line the pockets of abusive and corrupt individuals that value nothing except capital at the expense of consumers. Sadly, Crypto is not going away for the same reason as other abusive practices are not going away, they make money and the people that use this scam are free of consequence.
It's literally how any other mobile game out there. Lol.
Don't need NFTs to have predatory monetization
Props to Steam for putting a hard stance against nft games.
have you seen all the garbage that is released on steam daily, who gives a crap now if there is garbage nft games on steam along with the rest lol.
@@AnnihiIator Allowing fledgling indie devs and mmos that might only serve a niche a platform to be seen isn't anywhere near the same as games that are made as actual scams. I even dislike 99% of those indie games and mmos aren't my thing to begin with.
@@AnnihiIator Adding blatant scam garbage to that pile doesn't make the situation better.
@@bloodlustshiva1if you don’t want rotten pickles. Don’t go into the bottom of the barrel. Stay at the top/middle and they’ll only be a few (like gollum, that thing)
@@AnnihiIator there's a large different between an earnest indie game dev who tried (and failed) to make a fun game and someone who intended to scam you from the start
A few months ago a large student team and I had completed a film in Unreal Engine, Epic came to interview us and ask about placing the assets on the store for game making. The only people there were an educational manager and a marketing manager. When I asked the marketing manager about the kind of direction the store was taking with our assets she mentioned blockchain and "innovative games". And sounded like she knew nothing of actual game making. Evidently, we did not put any of our assets on the Unreal store... i don't think Epic knows what they are doing anymore.
Epic is prioritizing appearance over actual game-making. That's why their games have been getting more & more "blockbuster", while becoming overly bloated in size & lacking innovative gameplay.
I guess it's a mindset they learned from one of their biggest investors from overseas.
@@TheRibbonRedWhat Epic was is dead.
@@Gatorade69
Unreal Gold was the last hurrah for Epic -Mega- Games
From there it was all downhill
"anymore"?
Does Epic even still make games that arent Fortnite?
That last game feels like a surreal video game-based nightmare. Like a metaphor for social anxiety in an MMO. Like a horror parody of run of the mill online games.
Its beautiful.
Select your presense
It looks like fuckin worlds online
Pohetic
The void level makes it especially strange.
Yeah, it reminds me of meta horror games like No Players Online, Agony of a Dying MMO, or those creepypasta Mario 64 hacks; I was expecting stuff like disturbing message in the chat window or NPC dialog, glitched textures and the fake AFK PCs attacking you.
The "it looks like it was designed as a mobile game, but was only released on a PC" thing is actually likely a side effect of Apple's 2022 crack down on developers trying to avoid paying apple their 30% by using crypto. Once they changed their ToC to say that they still had to get a cut of all crypto transactions then it just wasn't a viable platform.
That in turn was a followup to their 2020 dispute with Epic regarding off-app purchases, mostly for the flagship Fortnite game. Epic was directing players to head to a web browser and log in to the Fortnite store page to buy their in-game currency rather than using the in-App purchasing in order to avoid paying Apple's commission.
30% is too much, but evading it completely is as dumb. Getting the industry standard (yes, Sony, Xbox, Nintendo, Steam all does the same 30% cut) to lower it to 20% would be the better win-win deal.
Android........
@@TheRibbonRed it's like they didn't think about the long term consequences, that Apple was going to crackdown on the whoke issue sooner or later.
@@Sir_Bucket that explains anything Epic did post Unreal Engine 4.
Apeiron looks like a legitimately fun game. It’s a shame they ruined it by charging for different seeds…
Hopefully, when the crypto project, inevitably dies, someone can hack it and unlock all the seeds
Apeiron decompilation when?
let's hope someone will find a crack for it
@@Queldonusdecentralize the apeiron seeds ✊️
remember when tim sweeney said they wouldn't allow "crappy games" on EGS? guess this is what happens when the investor money for free games dries up and devs stop taking your exclusivity deals
They really should've used that money to innovate the store, rather than taking shortcuts & lying along the way.
Tim sweeney He's one big hypocrite and liarHe didn't keep any of his promises with this store
You don't get it man, Timmy _needs_ his coke money
I come from the future.
All quality controls have apparently been disabled (if they ever really existed). 😂
@@autobotstarscream765 they'd still lie & claim those "quality controls" exist if asked lol. 🤣
Just saw some clearly R18 titles (e.g. "Treasure of the Giantess") being sold there as PEGI 16. Amazing, Sweeney.
That point about how there was only meant to be one interconnected metaverse reminds me of the standards xkcd comic
Situation: there are 14 competing metaverses
"14?! Ridiculous! We need to develop one universal standard metaverse that covers everyone's use cases!"
Situation: there are 15 competing metaverses
Always a relevant xkcd
@@jauwn My favorite has to be the one about geographic profile maps
In a way, the general internet functions that way, but it’s not cool 3d like snow crash and ready player one
@@jayaang4176 You wish. Google can't get some anti-trust action soon enough.
the last game is clearly an asset flip, the movement animations are from 'Advanced Locomotion System', most of the characters are from ReadyPlayerMe, of which they appear to have been extracted from the website and imported, which is not how your meant to do that. and the medieval world appears to be one of the infinity free medieval asset pack options, at least they made there own terrain!
The houses reminds me something from Skyrim... or I'm seeing things after hours and hours of playin Skyrim.
Apeiron's fate stings quite a bit. It looks like a great title for apple arcade, but they've just massacred their own creation in favor of NFTs. A shame.
There's been an onslaught of card games that look somewhat competent, and it was mostly thanks to one very well made TCG engine available on Unity Asset Store. A Hearthstone clone is one of the presets there, too, so people have produced plenty of meme/shitpost card games to entertain their favourite streamer or impress fellow redditors. It's just that easy to plug in your own cards into it. I don't know for sure if Raini was created that way, but, boy, does it look familiar. The assets looks original, at least.
The art looks AI generated. Between white snoop dog, Tyler Cohen (who looks nothing like Tyler Cohen) and melt-y Elon musk and the unbelievable levels of cringe, I couldn’t imagine them putting in much effort for this much polish, so the engine makes sense.
Nothing wrong with using an engine, of course, but I simply can’t imagine crypto bros learning to do their own programming, especially with some of the other games Jauwn has showcased on here, lmao.
@@AquaMouse100I actually stumbled across a Twitter thread where this guy showed how we was making movies purely with AI (ChatGPT generates a plot summary which he then plugs into a different engine to generate assets, another to generate sounds, another for rigging & animation,..). Plenty of people using the word "innovative" over there, just like they do when talking about these games. Another guy was selling "art books" full of AI generated art. It's the lowest effort possible and they think they deserve to get rich for it.
@AquaMouse100 that game absolutely stinks of a grift made to fleece cryptobros out of the money they're so easily parted with
welp that explains why some of the card games looked decent. The only shred of respect I had is now gone
As someone who has previously made some projects but once tried to make a card game based on solely intuition and barely got to just getting cards to show up before giving up, this makes a lot more sense
Crypto games are an inherently flawed concept because most gamers don't want their games to be an investment, and most crypto bros aren't playing games for entertainment.
Are crypto bros even able to enjoy anything? They seem to think that if something doesn’t make money, it isn’t worth of anything.
The only bad thing about NFTs going down in flames is that there won't be any more games for him to roast. They've been flogging that dead horse for a while, it's going to the glue factory soon.
Although there’s that eventuality, it makes me wonder of how long before goes wrong and such
There actually is an indie game released in 2022 which announced getting NFTs a couple days ago. Jauwn has received at least two e-mails about it.
The other "players" in Deverse are almost certainly NPC's posing as fake AFK players to make the game seem more populated than it actually is (aka barren). This is not an uncommon tactic, even actually populated MMO's, especially ones you can spend real money on, will use certain tricks to make it seem like more people are engaging with it, like faking the "this person upgraded their gear" global messages.
omfg the global messages one 😭classic
That should be illegal
@@williamdrum9899
Yeah that sound fall under some kond of false advertising, man the laws are so behind on stuff like this
Let's be real: epic games is only good to get some expensive games for free
I got ESO for free now my wife and I are enjoying playing it, the only reason ANYONE uses EGS is the free weekly games
Honestly Epic disgusts me so much I don't even care for the free games. The day they pulled the Unreal games from shelves was the day I said I'd never give them another cent. If they have a game for free and I want it I will gladly pay full price for it on Steam (and have in fact already done this a couple of times). Rapacious fucks.
Then comes piracy
@@WilliamLucianmy account got hacked and i lost over 16 page of free game :(
@@jakytmk Pain
Correction on AI, to have a usuable AI model that doesnt require lots of tinkering or editing after the output. You need LOTS of data. Which is very expensive, they are most likely fine tuning using their own assets but the foundational model is 90% probably stolen data.
Yeah I don’t know I didn’t even think of that, you’re 100% right
Not to stir the hornet's nest, but what the hell does "stolen data" mean in this case? I am not sure just using data is illegal. It is a grey area at best.
I think they mean that instead of using data that's theirs, they're using someone else's art? Maybe
@@olivercharles2930It means used without permission.
And it's a grey area, legally speaking, though most artists agree that AI art should only be made with art the programmer has permission to use for that.
@@olivercharles2930 The same thing as any "Stolen [insert thing]" means, taking something that isn't yours. If an artist hasn't said "Hey, you can use my stuff for AI generated images" and someone uses it for that then it's stolen data
You’re the best crypto gaming channel out there. Its such a small niche & most people in the niche are paid shills but you’re brutally honest and thats what I’m looking for
It’s a crypto game. Any honesty is considered brutal honesty by the people in the community
Tell me you're a Cryptobro suffering from the delusion that real gamers are going to flock to this overpriced shovelware instead of treating it like they frequent /b/ and will drink your sweet tears as they watch your tokens and NFTs become utterly worthless, without actually telling me...
Thanks! but I don’t want to be labeled as a crypto gaming channel.
I am a normal gamer that has a channel that focuses on playing games that are scams, lazy, or bizarre. Unfortunately for crypto bros, crypto games are some of the best places to collect that type of content right now 😂
You may not be a crypto gamer but you are definitely the best crypto games reviewer, probably because you're not a crypto gamer.@@jauwn
Hi, crypto expert here
Is a scam 👍
One of the many things I cannot stand about NFT projects is how they all seem to need to be _about_ NFTs. Those cards you called out made me groan.
Yeah, why do so many of these cryptobros seem to make crypto their whole personality when it’s supposed to be just a tool that enables new possibilities in games and such?
2:00 on is absolutely brutal. One nitpick (which please do not take as hostile; I just enjoy infrastructure and all of that): while cooling towers are commonly associated with nuclear power plants, they can be found at many conventional thermal power plants (like a coal plant), since they all have similar cooling needs.
I really enjoy the reviews!
Lol no problem, I was kind of hoping someone would say something which is why I specifically said it’s a cooling tower cause a lot of people think that’s a power plant itself at least I know it’s a cooling tower 😂
I've recently subscribed and started watching your videos; if anything, I can say that wading through the NFT swamp leaves a surreal aftertaste of alienation, depression and desperation (which is very Magritte, in a sense!). You deserve a lot of praise: your channel is a perfect snapshot of what happens when companies chase trends and arrive late, when they have already fizzled out. Stop Drop and Retro talked of the "early worm effect": NFTs give me the same kind of vibe, only more predatory...
So, thank you, and all the best to you!
You're really taking the bullet for us. Good content overall. I hope your income cover all your therapy session for every headache you experience lately.
😀
You're the only cryptogaming channel worth watching because you are not a shill trying to defend flaws and is blunt and straight to the point.
Man, dont worry if you take one or two sponsorships, just dont take the most shitty ones! You are a creator and you have to sustain yourself after all! Thanks for another great video and have a lovely day, definitely will support you on ko-fi
Nothing wrong with sponsors at all I agree, its just when the youtubers don't do research and end up sponsored by a scam such as the lordship that was hoping around for a while
Maybe I should take a sponsor and then just use the video to expose them for being a scummy company
@@jauwnRAID: Shadow Legends The Movie
@@jauwnjust make sure you go over the contract with a lawyer in case they get spiteful.
@@jauwn exactly, like with that weirdly advertised game that was just a RedLine Stealer
3:41 i think thats supposed to be Benjamin Cowen(popular crypto bro) kinda looks like him
Oh yeah I bet you're right
This man has truly learned how to pioneer a niche as probably the only person on RUclips to honestly review these dumpster fires.
But how can the metaverses not be compatible with each other! Wasn't the whole premise of NFTs in gaming that any one is going into every single title you ever interact with? Why would they not make metaverses use the same assets and NFTs? /s
I think NEVER taking sponsors isn't a great idea. If it's a product that you at least WOULD actually use then there's nothing wrong with that. Plus it would inspire you to keep going when things start to feel as if this could one day become your primary income!
I love watching you dunk on nft games, It really sucks from epic to accept this as a form of monetization, good on you!
About the sponsorships, you put out hours of great quality content out for us and it only feels right to have you be rewarded for that. I’m sure your audience would be willing to put up with another random VPN being shilled if it means you get rewarded justly for all the hard work you put in. Just a thought but love your content! Me and many others just want to see you continue this grind
Thank you I'm glad you like the videos! The no sponsorship thing is more for me though than for you guys. I just don't wanna do it cause I can't stomach the feeling of saying "this video is brought to you by...". I do this stuff for fun / the art of making videos and music and sharing it with people, and that's all I need to be happy.
No shade to creators who take sponsorships, obviously you need to put food on the table, but I just don't wanna do a sponsorship. Thats it lol
Some sponsors give you a lot of leeway and the ad can actually be funny. It is a challenge, but if done right is actually enjoyable to watch, while you make some money off of it. @@jauwn
Maybe I'll reconsider it further down the line but right now I'm happy with the amount of $$$ I make just from the ad revenue and generous supporters.
You are on the road (along with a couple others) because you are covering games that don't have a lot of coverage. And, more than that, you are honest with your reviews... Not some paid schill. Good luck with the channel, can't wait for your next video.

The closest we've gotten to the Metaverse as proposed, was when Linden Lab, the creators of Second Life, in coordination with other tech giants like IBM, established OpenSimulator, which was essentially a fork of the Second Life Server code meant for more flexibility and interoperability.
The OpenSim community even established a way for the various 'grids' running OpenSim to communicate with one another and have users go between them, as part of the Hypergrid.
Suffice to say, for various reasons, the concept of something like the Hypergrid hasn't been adopted due to engineering, technical, legal and even ethical concerns (Do you really want Roblox being able to let its' users connect to Second Life? With all the shit we do here, I sure as shit wouldn't.)
That being said - for as much as people talk about SL being dead - at least when you find people in active areas, they aren't looking like they were put there to inflate user count.
I hold out hope that there will come a day when such a thing is feasible, but until then I think we're all happy in our little corners of the web, part of the metaverse or no, that make us happy - which for most of us, crypto shit ain't it.
Apeiron is inappropriately named for something relating to NFT's.
Apeiron: something that is limitless.
NFT's: let's find a means to limit something that is limitless so we can make money from it.
It's hilarious to me that even card games are made worse by NFTs when cards are such a close analog for NFTs
Games and nfts just dont mix
I honestly recognize all the animations in the intro and I don't know how to feel about it.
Hey if every one of these NFT games can use Mixamo animations for their whole game I can use them for my 30-minutes-of-effort animations 😂
I wonder if Apeiron was doing just fine as a mobile title until they tried to shove the NFT's and monetization in it and that was what made it go over scope.
i’m guessing in the time between you writing the script and uploading the video SBF was put back into custody for trying to tamper with witnesses 😭
I feel reminded of the Ante mechanic in Magic the Gathering, were you had to bet a card each game and the winner of the match got both players' ante cards. It was so unpopular they took it out of the game pretty quickly.
The thing i cant get over isnthe fact these games are created and targeted at adults when they are lower quality and way cheesier than any childs mobile game. Why would a bunch of adults play these games when REAL game exist out thwre
When you look at the average discussion around crypto and see the often 40+ year old people who participate in these communities, it wouldn't surprise you. The memes, behavior, and mentality is quite childish for what is supposed to be the "future of finance"
@@jauwnno wonder cryptobros fail (or do mediocre at best) at everything they try
Attempts at serious currencies and financial systems, organizational structures, Cartoons, Video games, artworks, and so on
I almost wonder if that 3rd game was just bugged. It's really easy to screw up game networking, so that characters are just stuck. Like that guy that joined was probably walking around and wondering why you were just standing there.
Whenever I am having a bad day or having self esteem issues, I remind myself that some people white knight for the Epic Games Store and think it's ok to not have a working cart , always cheers me up.
Just recently found your channel and binged all your videos. This video is also very good.
The voice compression during the intro clip was a nice touch
i've watched you outta sheer boredom and a morbid curiosity for nft/crypto gaming, which kinda has been the mainstay for me in the past two years. but seriously, i don't wanna watch people telling me how to earn something that is worthless one day, i want to laugh and see what these games actually are
There's a near zero chance they trained generative image model from zeros on just their content, unless they are doing something extremely basic like StyleGAN. Newer models like Stable Diffusion required billions of samples to train. More likely they are just fine-tuning an existing model, or using a LoRA on an existing model, trained on their own IP.
Coffeezilla's card looks pretty sick imo
damn, im kinda sad Apeiron ended up this way, as basically a roguelike addict, the game genuinely looked like it had potential. just sucks that its going nft garbage
What a great vid. I actually got kinda sad when I went to your channel to find that I've already seen every other video of yours. Please do keep em comin'!
You deserve to blow up. The quality of your vids is awesome, great topics, great arguments, good knowledge.
Dang. Ape Iron would be a good game I would play as a $20 mobile game even knowing it has microtransactions/gacha elements as long as it doesn't have ads.
And he's here to do some business with an Ape Iron on his hip
Arrgh, Apeiron has such lovely art and cute character designs! big shame it is how it is
Just found your channel (subscribed ofc) . watched the first part and now this? God’s must’ve blessed me
Gtz on the rapid channel growth Jauwn. You deserve it.
Seeing Apeiron mentioned in the comments threw me for a loop for a while, because I was pretty sure that was an old Apple Macintosh game that was basically Atari's Centipede, but for Apple Macintosh. Guess lots of games can just have the same title now?
My man, you're too nice. It's totally fine to take a sponsor. Nobody's gonna get mad at you for making a living. 👏
i absolutely love ur channel, i discovered it through your ARG video, and so far my favorite video of urs is the walking dead one, really enjoyable, congrats for the amazing growth and hope YT keeps pushing ur stuff!!
hey that medieval village from the metaverse game you showed looks similar to one of the villages in mount and blade: warband, especially the inside of the tavern you spawn
I'm just a little curious about Deverse because did it not have any nft's, or anything relevant to the blockchain, to go along with it?
Okay, Aperion tries to emulate the Peter Molyneux god game genre, not by making a god game, but by acting like Peter Molyneux. Especially with Godus.
But hey, they use the NFTs as DLCs that add more characters. Roguelites usually unlock characters by reaching certain thresholds in the game.
Random but I appreciate you taking the time to leave comments as you binge my whole catalog. Glad to see you enjoy the videos!
Can confirm, the algorithm sent me to you. I don't usually watch these kinds of videos, but I found myself watching your content, and ended up liking it!
Aeon would be very cool if it wasn’t so expensive.. £5 expansions with a couple extra planets, and player characters etc a-la Cookie Run type stuff would be fine- or being able to build up in-game currency to get stuff for free that you could then sell based on time spent and skill to get would be better
Man, Apeiron looked so cool, challenging and fun until goddamn crypto made its appearence
It feels like it could have a future if it gets away from NFTs, like a one-time payment game with some content being unlockable by playing and somethings being like paid DLCs or stuff, it's so sad man :(
Intro song name?
19:47 I pulled that exact picture out of a burned down building and had it in my bedroom for years, small world
this is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. Keep up the good work
that Chao Garden music at 14:20 though
I like the weird transitions you do, certainly unique.
I got a Sandbox ad while watching. 10/10, would watch again
Your videos are really solid, if you keep up this up i can see you reaching at least 100k subs before the end of the year.
Just noticed on game 3 they labeled the first guy Soldier correctly but copy pasted the typo of Soilder on the sleeping ones.
Grand.
I'm glad Sid introduced me to your channel fr fr
Bro your editing style is literally just cruelty squad (i like that)
This series is awesome and the fact that you dont promote raid shadow legends or any other money grabbing game makes this channel even better
Hell yeah but if they offer me $10,000 like they have been with some youtubers recently i might have to say yes xD
Glad to made it , cant wait to see where your career goes
Jauwn became one of my favorite channel
cuz his humour and style lmao😂
Keep the work up Jauwn
Holy hell, someone who actually knows the difference between roguelites and roguelikes. Easiest sub ever
Proudly earned. The difference is obvious and anyone who doesn’t know just hasn’t bothered to look it up
Jauwn channelling his inner Jesus was a beautiful thing to watch.
Sorry swim not added yet!
I loved that 🤣@@jauwn
I think the mech Coffeezilla was in was meant to be a bear, implying Coffeezilla is causing a bear market (because nothing says stable and reliable like one youtuber causing the market to crash and burn).
Anyone know the name of his intro song?
ayy man! Happy for your 10k! Wishing you luck for the future :)
Raini really wanted to be the Elon Musk of card games. Unfortunately, it was merely the Elon Musk of card games
It sucks that Apeiron got so NFT heavy. It looks like it could've genuinely been a good successful game if it just stuck to unlockable content and then maybe threw in a few microtransactions. Seems like the devs got greedy and thought they could milk more money from the NFT craves, rather than just making a good game that's accessible and could've easily made money
I appreciate your continued effort to showcase these games. I never knew there were so many until finding your channel because every other video about NFT/crypto games are all done by shills
10:30 Why is the most ethical ai art sourcing I’ve seen being done by a crypto game of all things?
Can't believe I have the privilege of watching this channel before it blows up to 1M+ subs, feels good man #JauwnheadsUnite
Oh brother.
For Raini, the mechanics are standard, and the staking/gem color gimmick does seem like an interesting twist, but that cringeworthy art based off all kinds of crypto figures and memes? Dear lord, I have never seen such a cartoonishly absurd example of how cryptobros seem to make it their entire personality. Isn’t crypto supposed to just be a tool to enable new possibilities in games and such?
For Apeiron, I agree on how tragic it is; it could easily be a decent mobile game with technical improvements for the lag, a few tweaks (make things a bit faster in particular) and maybe some expansion on the mechanics, but they completely flush all that potential down the toilet by trying to cram in NFTs nobody is even bothering with.
And Deverse is just bizarre. With the empty world full of fake AFK PCs, the glitched quests, and how nothing seems to be even halfway finished, it comes off as, as one person put it, a horror parody of these games. It reminds me a lot of meta horror games like No Players Online, Agony of a Dying MMO or those creepypasta Mario 64 hacks; I was expecting to see ominous messages in the chat, glitched loading screens and tutorials, and PCs starting to attack you or spout disturbing dialog.
My fav channel on RUclips here
NPC ahh comment
Ayo, what did you do to your audio in the "3d running from Epic Games" intro. I need to know how you got it so shitty. Sounds beautiful.
Abletons Redux plug-in, but you could do it with any bitcrusher or bitrate reducer
@@jauwn betttttttt. Thank you. I'm using this vid as a reference, gonna search for that sound and save the preset on my butcrusher once I get back into the DAW.
19:21 I genuinely wonder if that’s just,, afk bots. To make it look like the servers have more people in them than they actually do. Especially with their keysmash names
The thing about "oh we trained our AI only on images we own"- First, no they did not. Unless they have enough money to just hire an artist, they would not own enough images to have enough data to train an AI. Secondly, even if they somehow did? That's a job a human artist didn't get. If you cannot afford to hire human artists, either you cannot afford to make a game, or you need to rebudget, readjust your goals, etc. until you can afford to pay humans.
Love your content. Watching these failures of a game will always be great and your insight is interesting. Not too much but not too little. Keep up the work.
Just looking at Apeiron reminds me of how much I miss Spiral Knights. It sucks this game is bogged by NFTs. It could hold decent potential just as a mobile game.
apeiron hurt me too believe me, I´m in love with roguelikes and this started to look great, until I remember is a cryptogame, fuck the blockchain
Attention: we do not have swim yet
Thats peak comedy
19:49 that look like a village area (cheap knock off) from skyrim - don't remember the name but it's the one where you arrive only to learn the mine is closed and Silver[smth] family from Markath is blackmailing the owner to sell/give them the mine.
What's your intro music?
Lmao, RUclips thinks this is Hearthstone
does anyone know what the tropical sounding song at the very end is?
Palmtree panic P mix from sonic CD
@@jauwn thanks!
Whats funny is that you can just buy trading cards for established games, like Magic the Gathering, and make certain profit. You can even sell expensive cards for crypto. Why somebody would want a digital version of that, I couldn't imagine
Yeah, algorithm really tries to push you on my and my friends main page. While we always click on, because its a really nice documentary to play on the background when doing something. So thank you alot of that :)
