    Hermitcraft Season 9 is approaching, and Xisuma is making plans to prepare for the new season. This Xisuma Says video includes Xisuma's build plans for Season 9 of Hermitcraft, when Hermitcraft starts up again. The conversation also turns to how to handle repetitive questions as a creator and how to solve problems.
    Hermitcraft Season 8 and the end of iskall85's videos for that season is also discussed, after a viewer raised it in Xisuma's livestream. After watching this video's answer to if iskall has quit Hermitcraft or stopped making Hermitcraft videos, and for how long was iskall sick for & how it prevented him making videos for a while, watch the video from iskall linked above.

    "Duck debugging" and "rubber duckery" is sometimes taken quite literally. I've heard of enough developers/programmers actually having a rubber duck on their desk, and when they struggle with a problem they explain the problem to the rubber duck, thereby achieving the same effect. The added bonus is that you don't use up someone else's time or interrupt them in their flow, which takes time to get back into, and if you can't solve it through that way, then you can go ask around.
    I mean, that basically where the term comes from.

      @jangtheconqueror 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Yeah I think having some sort of community area of the server, like the shopping district and gaming districts, make the server feel much more together. It's always hard to keep track of every Hermit's videos, so in s8, it was like if the Hermit you watch didn't regularly fly around the whole island, then you just wouldn't see the vast majority of builds, and even then you wouldn't be able to see them in detail. Having a community area provides much more opportunities for random collaborations, which can then lead to things like the HCBBS, prank wars, etc.

    Im happy you guys are taking a long break between seasons, it'll help refresh your creativity, and will stop the ever growing chain of when one of the hermits feels the need to deliver above what is expected, which is awesome, buy very taxing, and it just gets more and more regular doing insane projects that stress the hermits out and leads to more short breaks, here's to hoping season 9 will be about the hermits having fun and not having to worry that we aren't getting entertained enough, cuz we are getting over-entertained to the point where I feel like our expectations are inflated to a point where it's too much

    I've noticed that for some of the members, Hermitcraft seems to be a blessing and a curse. Of course their channels grow because of being part of it, but they become pigeonholed and when they make a video that isn't Hermitcraft, they don't get many views and towards the end of the season, they will often start losing subscribers. Maybe the surge at the beginning of a season is worth it, but it's got to be hard to deal with when it happens

    Seasons 3 and 5 are my favorite so far. The RP/Storyline stuff is cool but when it gets a bit silly I kinda loose interest.
    I really liked what y’all did with the moon in season 8! I thought it would transition into the caves and cliffs 2 update, but when it actually ended the season I was pleasantly surprised.
    Thx for sharing

      I agree. I loved the minimalist rp at first, but when it started to get extremely scripted and started bending server rules, the whole thing started to feel disingenuous.

    @eucalyptused 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I loved Season 8, and seeing some of the Hermits step out of their comfort zones and try new things was very fun! But I’m also very glad that some have decided to return to stuff that feel most comfortable with! Season 6 was my favorite Season, and Season 7 is close in second! I loved seeing how everyone felt so motivated when working on their own projects, and while I do love roleplay aspects, I also love seeing Hermits excitedly discuss their builds and expand their ideas! The diversity in what they work in and their happiness doing it really brings a special aspect to the server, especially as a watcher!
    Whatever any of the Hermits decide to do, I’m sure it will be amazing! Cant wait for Season 9, or any other projects the Hermits decide to put out!

      Agreed. It's really annoying when people can't deal with change and immediately start to riot. I loved seeing how people adapted their style and content to a more established and 'planned' story line. It seemed to spark new kinds of creativity in people we hadn't seen before.
      Honestly I think the real reason most people disliked S8 because the short season cut off a lot of Hermit's plans. Like, a lot of the Hermits clearly had longer-term plans that we didn't get to see. And because the "reason" the season ended was the moon crashing, they just go "GAH STORY BAD! D:

    I LOVED S8 for how unique and different it felt. What you did (and others followed) with the parallels of fiat money and crypto was like a macro-finance masterclass for kids and the dangers of central control of money. Cub hacking on your first wallet was just too good to be true, and EvilX rugpulling everyone at the end... glorious

    About Joe filming things “live”: he films quite a bit on camera, but most of the stream is chugging through off camera work. A lot of interactions with Cleo this past season were done off camera (correct me if I’m wrong). But it’s cool to see that almost behind-the-scenes process, while still seeing new things in each episode.
    I’d bet, as with all things, there’s a balance to how much you’d want to do on stream vs on your own.
    It will forever be enjoyable for me though, to watch streams and have that interaction with both audience and content creator. Though I really don’t have the time to watch every hermits’ streams.

    Xisuma, you have such a positive, healthy attitude towards any situation you talk about, and seeing the videos about how you came to be who you are today is very inspiring. I'd like to strive to be more like you, because I grew up in an environment where being critical and strict was seen as the better path to build a person, but it really just led me to doubt myself and have a very low self-esteem, as well as put others down, probably because of my self-esteem issues. I've been working on trying to be less critical, both of other people as well as myself, in order to hopefully become a much more positive, confident, and encouraging person.

      yes! i think it was very raw as opposed to scripted roleplay, like you could tell the civil war wasnt scripted and that every event that happened like the area 77 arc was, again, (mostly) unscripted; they obviously knew some things but when they kept moving the time machine and all the diverisionary tactics the hippies used.
      Obviously the hippies journey to alpha was scripted (and this is going to sound very hypocritical) but I didnt mind the mild roleplay elements of that arc. Its just when the entire season is resource packs and roleplay it takes away quite a bit from the vanilla feeling.
      I feel like the amount of resource packs they used (though most are for shenanigans) takes away from the vanilla experience (before someone gets onto me about it, i know vanilla is boring for a lot of you guys). I feel like I can't say "Look at hermitcraft, its amazing, its all vanilla survival" because then people will go look at Scar's hat or something and go "thats not vanilla". Don't get me wrong Hermitcraft is still amazing vanilla or not but I preferred season six/seven in terms of gameplay style.
