Headcanon: Carmen got caught in an Exodii bunker porting in, and was thrown through the maelstrom into the Aftershockverse. Maybe the corpse was a native who dressed her after she showed up with ravaged clothes.
Rycon: Why is it so hot in here? Also Rycon: *is in ship that is currently on fire* (Yes I know temperature doesn't work that way in cataclysm, i'm trying to be funny.)
It sort of does, doesn't it? Fire produces hot air, which fills spaces and raises temperature. You can also just feel temperature a short distance away, without the hot air field.
This is the first time I've ever experienced aftershock because I always thought that vanilla cataclysm was more my style, but I can't help but be impressed at the cool items you came across right from the get go
Man, when we talked about what Cataclysm stuff you had coming up I was super hype for Aftershock. Excellent episode as always, looking forward to the next!
UndeadPeopleTileset is like Lovecraftian Horror both good and inovative pieces, made by horrible people this tileset does bring a lot of nostalgia from my best moments in CDDA and all the way back when Rycon started using it on the earlier series, really nice!!!
The new person in control of the tileset and updating it is actually quite nice. The old guy left after throwing another huge fit over pronouns or whatever.
@@cr0ctus Yeah, i know it's maintained by better people now, but just like Lovecraft, it's something that is now being used better that was once created by a shitty person
hm oddly comedic such fates are what they are. but ya lovecraft was just shit on lock and only after his time did his writing somehow find a audiance.@@les_larmes_d_un_hibou
@SireBab No, and I say this as someone who appreciates his work, but he was a terrible racist. The cosmic horror and fear of the unknown in his stories is very obviously based on his own xenophobia and terror he felt towards people different from him.
Holy moly am I hyped for the future of this series Innawood was my introductionvto this channel, and it kept me sane while i was staying overnight at a hotel after a funeral So happy to bd around in the infancy of this one Here's to the success of Karmen Moulton's Aintnowood Thanks for your hard work and dedication rycon ❤
There were so many good characters to choose from, I'd be happy to see any of them show up. Even the ones that had too short of a series to let us get to know them would be okay with me (even just for cannon fodder, lol)
Orion arm is in reference to our local arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. Got a lot of hours of enjoyment out of your last series in cataclysm, looking forward to hours more with this one!
This looks awesome! I've always been interested in the idea of Astronauts watching the Cataclysm happen from orbit. They're safe, but they realize that they can't stay safe forever. That there's only so many supplies, one way down, plenty of problems, and no more Houston.
Oh my god you are making videos that i wished to see but i had forgotten them. First the neo scavenger and now the aftershock? Am i finaly blessed by the youtube algorithm
I'm not sure it's actually a good idea to run them both. Unless Mind Over Matter has specific compatibility for Aftershock, it's likely there will be thematic conflicts, and perhaps even straight-up balance breaking things, or MOM may be impossible to progress in, since AS is a total conversion that does away with many vanilla things and concepts.
Paused about 1:40 in. My take on Carmen the teenage assassin and the mansion she was in was fairly dark. There was abuse and grooming and subjugation in her unexplored backstory. She was horribly wronged. The people in the mansion where she woke up in were very often clad in subserviant fetish type costumes: maid, butler, servant. It was spookily charged with a certain type of fetish imagery. I remember Carmen breaking into a room with like 16 computers and my mind flashed to the dude in Romania charged with sexual violence and enforced OnlyFans subservience with his coterie of young women. My head space was that this mansion was the HQ of a very dark and nasty video content factory outputting vile content to sick customers on the dark web. And that this was not a contract hit, but personal payback and revenge for the wrong done to her and her fellow prisoners. She wanted to kill her subjugator and abuser, but then the zombie apocalypse happened.
My take: She was raised and trained by a monastic order of assassins--radical splinter from the Catholic Church? The target in her survival series was connected to something her order was violently opposed to and she had to go undercover at the mansion and commit a ton of venial sins to maintain her cover. Ironically the constant battle after the apocalypse began was a little closer to her comfort zone than LARPing as a party girl.
I'm glad to see the undead people tileset back, I was never really a fan of Ultica. It just feels so impersonal since you can't see your characters face.
I'd like to use it in other series but Ultica is still running the most up to date and regularly updated pack. Both are great and I think they can serve well depending on the feel that you want when you're playing
So do you have a full list of the mods you're using for this series? I'm pleased to see that Aftershock is finally becoming a proper total conversion rather than just an asset pack!
We might have the same version, if you're using the launcher in the description head to the mod section of the launcher and grab the mod pack that's there. Hope that resolves that for you
Oh boy, now *this* is intriguing. Time for Cataclysm to go where no surivior has gone before: the deepest reaches of space. Where no one can hear you scream.
This tileset is like a comforting hug. Yeah, that's weird. No I don't care 😋 Excited for the new series mate. Might have to have a crack at Aftershock myself.
Man, I was anxiously waiting for a new story wondering what could come after Innawood hoping it would be something like Magiclysm or something like that... Boy was I not prepared. This looks absolutely amazing and I MAY be peeing my pants at this moment waiting for the next episode, but who's to say, really....
If those two don't need a support group, I'm genuinely unsure sure who DOES. And that's having met almost all your survivors, too. Can they hang in a shared gamefile maybe?
I still want to see Rycon use the multi-character feature now present in the game, to control and switch between individuals in a group of people. Could be a very long-lived save where the death of a single player character isn't the end of it all, and every episode can vary widely. I thought that's what the short survival series was for in the first place, building up a nice group of survivors to meet up and survive together, but that sadly didn't come to pass, and to this day I'm not sure Rycon is even aware of the feature to come up with ideas involving it.
I'm not sure how good of an idea it was to run Mind Over Matter with Aftershock. Seeing as the latter is a total conversion, there will likely be thematic conflicts, balance problems, and it may even be impossible to progress with MOM, since AS completely removes a lot of vanilla Cataclysm items, and reimagines a decent chunk of the crafting system. I'm also concerned about the custom settings, since that could easily break the balance. Remember, this isn't Cataclysm anymore, it'd be better to be safe and treat it as a new game rather than messing with it before you even start, so you have a chance of getting the intended experience. Aftershock is already a major deviation from what you're used to, no need to throw extra stuff on top.
Nice! I was just wondering if you ever planned to go for Aftershock, but had no clue how you would implement that setting with your current character! Really like the way you did it! Good luck with the new frozen world!
I'm so super excited to see this series, I've never messed around with aftershock personally. However, I have been rather enjoying Mind Over Matter, the psi ability mod, it uses stamina instead of mana without hand restrictions, but are still classified as spells, so remember to bind the spell casting key at some point. I love the telekinesis abilities most of all, so very cool, been very excited to see this mod come to life since hearing about it years ago. The percentage chance of activating the abilities seems a little strange in testing, it seems like weariness and pain effect the chances a lot. I'm not 100% sure how you acquire these powers without starting with them, so I'm sure it will be a learning experience for us all. :D
Unrelated to the wonderful content I'm about to consume- what did you use for the robot voice? I've been trying to find one for my D&D campaign, and all I can find is garbage.
I had to give up on trying to vote, there's several survivors I couldn't NOT vote for. ... how about a short survival series featuring US legislators? Though different from most previous characters I'd absolutely love to see how they fare in the Cataclysm.
I don't think that's a good Idea, it would alienate some part of the viewer base just seeing them, especially if they do well or die yknow? And most of them are old, and... Would not do well.
we dont know what horrors of this frozen forsaken planet might be for Carmen... perhaps a more cientifically inclined individual would have a better chance of surviving the cold?

30:40 i can't help but think of danny davito rolling around on the ground covered in gel: "I need to be waaaaaaarm"
The Mansion survival was one of the most nail biting short series to date, so glad we get to witness her wade back into the fray once more.
Please have longer series. It is such a frustrating scene to see CDDA series with so little episodes! Another Innawood-length series please!
That's this one right here 😊
And another season of Dusk coming next week 👌
@@ryconplaysPraise be!

I wish our DM was given a shot, figured he would of had a field day with the Bionics of Aftershock.
He may yet
👀 Lips are sealed 🤐

A new Rycon cataclysm series? I need more!
I can see some notes of kruggsmash in this one. Loving the style!

You should read World War Z if you haven’t already. They have a really interesting segment about this!
The into gives me goosebumbs. i love it!
Oh cool. Another CDDA long-form series. May the new chosen survive and thrive!
Holy cataclysm batman. This is gonna be good.
Oh this series looks exciting. Your precious series' got me into cdda and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next.
Finally a aftershock play through
Oh I am looking so forward to this!!!
Oh my god you are making videos that i wished to see but i had forgotten them. First the neo scavenger and now the aftershock? Am i finaly blessed by the youtube algorithm
Great stuff! Always wanted to see some immersive Aftershock gameplay.
Ah damn. I wanted Dr Dong to return so bad.
Looking forward to the series though!
Saaaame
This only reminds me of how much I miss the Lost Planet games
your videos help me get through my work day now thank you so much for putting out so much long content.
Carmen after the crashland:
Well...
Shit...
I preferred the company of the zombies to this frozen hellhole...
A chance to see the Aftershock total conversion along with the Mind Over Matter mod in action is always welcome. Haven't seen them before.
I'm not sure it's actually a good idea to run them both.

So do you have a full list of the mods you're using for this series? I'm pleased to see that Aftershock is finally becoming a proper total conversion rather than just an asset pack!
They're all listed at the end of the episode 😊
This game here is absolutely making me want to go over this Aftershock mod. I think I'll give your list a try!
I wasn't paying attention until you said "SpeedyDex" with your accent.
😂
Oh this looks like an entertaining run.
Awesome! So glad for a new series!!! Just fyi, next time drag any supplies you want to keep to the pod. It helps later. Aftershock is haaaard.
Aftershock! I've actually never tried this out, can't wait to see what's in store! Best of luck Rycon (and Carmen)!
How do you get the falling space ship start? On steam stable?
I'm playing on experimental currently
Try getting one of the launchers to get all stable and recent experimental versions, also just in case I'll say that is an aftershock start
How do you play Aftershock? I think the version I have is outdated, and I can't find where to get an up to date version anywhere.
We might have the same version, if you're using the launcher in the description head to the mod section of the launcher and grab the mod pack that's there. Hope that resolves that for you
Oh boy, now *this* is intriguing. Time for Cataclysm to go where no surivior has gone before: the deepest reaches of space.
Where no one can hear you scream.

Nostalgic huh
Roll that back real quick, speedy what?
Very excited for this!
Here to support the second channel
what mods are you using this run?
Very well done, Sir! Very well indeed!
I like how you lied down in the game during your introduction to the scenario, I found that funny.
Awesome first episode! Looking forward to more!

glad you're back on somedeadguy spritepack
I've been waiting for you to play this mod
google is so broken now i cant figure out how to run or download this mod
I'm a year late, but if you haven't figured it out, it just comes with the game.

Heck yeah, I've been running No Hope. Great to see Aftershock being run.
No Hope is coming soon too 😉

6:15 - Rycon, buddy, friend... what are you doing?? Have you learned nothing?! Hahahaha
Hasn't learned to step away from walls when throwing, at least!
Oh boy lets go!
Someone needs to make a space station 13 mod for Cataclysm :D
This is the best!
Hyped for the new adventure!
Unrelated to the wonderful content I'm about to consume-
what did you use for the robot voice?
I've been trying to find one for my D&D campaign, and all I can find is garbage.
I do it with post processing with a chorus/flanger plug in but it's doesn't work live. I believe Voice Mod does so give that a try
Oh man, Aftershock! I tried it but would always freeze to death before finding anything. Gonna be interesting
I think there were a few medium batteries in the building he just left. I hope he remembers and goes back to get them and power that suit.
YEAAHHHHHHHHHH
if this is a mutated run please make it radiation focus it would be cool to have the hulk
With all the high-tec around I hope we'll see some bionics.
Tech has made it a long way, those auto docs are far more capable so I there's a good chance Karmen will be enhancing
Welcome back.
Oh hell yeah!!!!!
