Perhaps in taking so much of Tesla’s inventions, now grown immensely famous in this world, the people of Tesla City simply didn’t think that anyone else BUT Tesla could have made the City…?

That's kind of the point but it doesn't take into account other people. Cruelty Squad is a game where you're just one guy ascending to power through any means necessary, almost always exclusively through doing bad things, in a world where pretty much everyone is evil and sucks. The nihilism makes sense in a world where you only kill and hurt other people, but you only do that in a videogame because they're not real people. Real life is a little different than that so don't let this weigh too heavily on your mind.

It's kind of cool, I needed to play Oates (the creator's) other games to see if there's any connections. The RPGMaker website where a bunch of ones were hosted for awhile was down while I was recording this unfortunately.

Shenmue is such a vibe, I need to play it sometime!

Hahaha that's how a lot of other people in these comments are too. I had a lot of fun playing it as a kid too and am glad to see so many other people liked it also.

Thank you! I'm glad you think so!

Wow, well I'm glad you enjoy what I make, and thank you very much for the kind words! I love playing these games and talking about them and I'm certainly glad you enjoy watching them and hearing about them.

Thank you!

Hahahaha I can only imagine why I ever said that. That is an absolute classic of a meme, glad you liked it.

Thank you! I'm really glad that you think so.

29:50 and 32:41 were both from the official Scythe twitter advertising the project meganet website. 34:21 was also from the Scythe twitter when they were playing with the 3D models in VR. You're welcome, it was a pleasure to make and I'm happy it helped you.

@@doctordirck Thanck you bro!! And you are welcome too!

Thank you that's very flattering. I'm very glad that you enjoy them; they're a lot of work but a lot of fun.

Wow that is extraordinarily embarrassing, thank you very much for bringing this to my attention. This is an extremely old Let's Play relatively so the original footage is long since gone but I'll still be leaving this video up despite the glaring blunder for the posterity's sake. I think this was surely a mistake with my editing software at the time judging by the bleeding pixels towards the end of your timestamp. I review all my stuff on the cutting room floor but every once in awhile something like this gets through while processing (basically this should be the only time that this has happened, and hopefully will ever happen). Thank you for bringing it up, and if you find another issue with anything I made please don't be too shy to bring it to my attention so I can fix it in the future.

Every other country might be thinking the same thing, if everyone goes there, resources will die out and everyone will die from starvation

@@dustinprier449 a good point but the north doesn't have any to begin with, it's usually called the frozen desert.

I understand your confusion; the source I used is from an article titled "Your Frostpunk 1 Lore Questions Answered" (so you can google it if you want to read more) and this is the full copy-paste for the going north reasoning: Why do our people travel North with their generators? Wouldn't it make more sense to go closer to the equator? That's the one we actually get quite a lot also internally in the team but the backstory here is this. The Great Freeze that was happening in the 19th century was actually enveloping the whole world. So it was not the fact that it was getting colder everywhere but a bit warmer on the equator. Actually, the temperatures were falling to a single global minimum all around the world. And if you would imagine the places that were least adapted and least prone to succeeding as a cohering civilizational hub to such a dramatic process it would actually be the areas which are least adapted to cold to begin with. So in the lore that we established the actual equatorial area of the world and the colonies of the British Empire, other countries and indigenous people there were simply least prepared for what was coming. So as soon as it started happening the biggest social upheaval, the biggest social problems, the biggest tumult and turmoil was happening actually in areas where it was the warmest. So if you think about it, if you wanted to do something like a top secret Arc-like project of building the generators you probably wouldn't want to place it in an area which is already in upheaval. So that was the reason to go north to try to maintain secrecy for the huge effort that was the construction process of building multiple generator sites and trying to do it in a secret manner. As well as for the abundance of resources and the fact that the fauna and flora and the whole ecosystem in the north was best adapted to the cold from the very beginning.

@@doctordirck thanks

I couldn't agree more, this developer is really good at fun Arcady gameplay loops, but an unengaging story. Very good pixel artist too.

@@doctordirck Buggos 2 is in the works and will have more dialog and story :P

@@intrepidmarmot I'm glad to hear that. I don't expect the game to be more than what it was though which seemed to me to be an arcadey hivemind strategy game. Pacman had a shitty story but is a classic. I also played and enjoyed Praise Dead as well.

@@NickNui you think so? I think it looks like a bob+Wade combo.

@@doctordirck True. I guess it's just the glasses, made me think of Bob.

@@Tanyamartinez666 I'll definitely consider it. It would likely come up when I'd bridge the gap between Hypnospace Outlaw and Dreamsettler so when I cover that in the future I'd probably talk about Slayers X

I'm far from willing to die on a hill for it, but I think the idea was that the tectonic plates created the volcano belt and the sudden release of all of that magma across the globe shifted earth's magnetic field. It may not be the cause, but the magnetic fields in frostpunk are messed up at the time we play the game. I assume we'll get a lot more answers when the next game comes out.

Well I certainly hope I hit those criteria for you and the quality of this video is acceptable in your opinion. I am the same way myself I prefer an informed and full approach to a game to watch someone play it so I try to reflect it in my Let's Plays myself. If what you're saying is a compliment then thank you.

@@doctordirck You are correct :)

It's from another Kira game called "Lost in Vivo" one of the enemies in that game.
