To his parents, the cataclysm seemed like small potatoes next to their looming medical bills, until the debt collectors came knocking and literally chewed them out.
i need to learn to be as invested as you are into each newly created character. i often end up going through a bunch of characters because I don't care enough about them to actually pay attention early on.
Head cannon: The building is a youth center that he used to volunteer in when his health permitted since it is close to the hospital. There, he was quite popular as he made some mean fish n chips. He went there to see if any kids there needed help (and to get supplies)
Infected Cyborg Bran is out there somewhere, beware. Seriously though, thanks RYCON for sharing more fun stories with all of us through the games you play.
A fun challenge to try is start as a shower victim, no changes to perks or stats and collect all the items that a survivor starts with. All of the survivor items are common, until you start looking for them. The challenge is complete when you have collected all the items and do it as fast as possible. Then you have a record to try and beat. The time measured is in game. Easy mode - dirty clothes, less than full matchbook, etc. Hard mode - all items must match what a survivor starts with. Post when complete as Rycon's unofficial world record
Glad to see these making a comeback! I can't remember if you've done the Hunted challenge yet or not - that's the one where you get a Mr X style stalker coming for you. If you haven't, that'd be a cool thing to see.
Absolutely love your commentary, not only that, but the fact that you are willing to send the new guys resources to find a familiar experience. Amazing video as always, stoked for the next one. Keep it up!
One thing that I love about your videos are the cinematic shots in the beginning. They really set the mood and are beautiful! Thank you so much for the amazing work you do!
Yesss. The earliest parts of a Cataclysm series are always the best... and now we have the two best Cataclysm youtubers, Rycon and Worm Girl, in that part of the game!
In today's episode, Rycon was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning he broke his legs, and every afternoon he broke his arms. At night, he lies awake in agony until his heart attacks put him to sleep. Also hooray for a new series!
so glad the CDDA series don't end with Innawood. Hyped to see a different side of the game after so many changes since the last regular playthrough, you never disappoint Rycon
Going though a lot today, got outed to some family I didn't want to be out to And dealing with that has been hard But this right here This is the relief I needed More Please!
Hey, sorry you went through that. That is NOT okay and I hope things get better with you and your family, and don’t forget about your other family here in the community!
@@justina6176 I'll be sure not to Thank you so much It's luckily working out Turns out a girl saw me at pride all prettied up And it ended up at my dad's first wife's door And it's mitigated by how much the family hate her And how well they know me
Coming in after dropping off after the channel split. All the current series are already in their 100s, and its only Rimworld and Cataclysm as far as the eyes can see, which are *great,* but i do miss Dust, and the games being played on the Roleplay channel. But, I'm happy to catch a new series. Absolutely love your content and your half-serious roleplay videos, playing a character but giving commentary and reactions. And having your hud on. Hope to see more!
Definitely not a challenge that's suitable for your short series, but seeing these reminded me of my first "successful" character in a "zero to hero" challenge! Homeless man with alcohol addiction, starting at 8 or 10 stats across the board, goal is to not only get 20 in every stat and overcome addiction, but to also get enough mutations down the Prime tree to get the "Prime Human" title in your character's page! It was so satisfying to reach that goal with such a difficult character, but that was countless builds ago. I should retry it now with the more recent ones and see if it'll still hold water. Stats through skills and kills are probably more of a must now more than ever.
I'd like to see some monster hunter style challenge of trying to take down so many creatures. Possibly within a certain manner of days or maybe hunting down a notable monster connected to the survivor like a zombie hulk or such that they can realistically take down within the span of a short series
I haven't played CDDA in about 1.5 years, I'm not sure if they have made any changes to the scenario. Still, I never managed to survive the abandoned hospital without making an insanely broken character or re-rolling spawns until I got lucky.
Ah, I've missed these types of videos. Your Innawood series was good, but man it got to be a trip after a bit. Not that I don't like longform content, but sometimes I just crave that "new start" feel.
Is there a larger narrative-focused series to come, at some point? I like these challenge videos, but It'd be a lie to say I don't enjoy longer narrative-focused series a lot. Either way, thank you for all the entertainment value.
Ye OLD BASEBALL BAT!!! You have no idea how many zombies I've killed and how many times that item has saved my life when I have nothing to defend my self when starting in a city.
Just a second recommendation for Vormithrax, I've watched far too many hours of his videos, and learned nearly everything I know about the game from him.
Hi Rycon! I missed this series and I look forward to what’s to come ❤ I never got the game to work for me so I don’t know what challenges there is. But I’ll make a request that magic will make a return or a funny camio 😊 Stay tuned!
Oh yes, another one. Thanks so much for the content rycon as always I actually smile when I see a new series. Is there any plans to bring back z land at all? Thanks again buddy
Hello RYCON I would like to see you play a person studing the coming portal storms trying to find one that may lead to a reality before the cataclysm and thank you for your wonderful content.
Is there some weird, enemy photography mechanic? I've never played a journalist, but I'm sure I could create Peter Parker, & snap all dozen or so spider mutants as a challenge.
They buffed grabbing and it's super dangerous now. Food costs for using various devices smoker, microwave, oven (Have you even used appliances yet?) has had a massive overhaul the energy cost per food is significantly higher, so you will spend far more time cooking over fire than using any appliance or tool until mid to late game. I have never seen advanced AR glasses before O.o. Aren't you using an entirely custom music not CO.AG as you advertise? (Fris0uman's ones?) or is it Still CO.AG but ones you've picked from a repository? as the music that isn't Co.AG that comes with otopack one that's from Kenan2000 github repo. ? I'm personally not keen on Ultica as it's far too difficult for me to articulate or make distinction at a glance between zombie types, but it is the most up to date tileset.
I still use CO.AG occasionally and because of that license I have to listed the details that are in the description. This was all custom music for this one though
Fair enough, i really haven't heard any of the CO.AG stuff in so long maybe i've tuned it out of my mind because i listen to it all the time, is this all epidemic music? Or too varied to point to a single source as you used that in the past for skyrim stuff iirc, i just want to mix up my music and the stuff you pick is so damn good lol.
hi rycon, i have a challenge for you, but idk if is possible or not, let me know what u think.. my idea was "escape from the island of jurassik park" have a survivor in a modern city like Brendon with Dinos but u are a pacifist so u can't kill nothing and the target is build a elicopter/plane (sorry for my bad english) hope u understeand :D
There are two channels this one and the neon Roleplay channel which is Rycon Roleplays. You can find the Innawood playlist if you go to this channels page and its be there in the sexton with all the other cdda playlists
To his parents, the cataclysm seemed like small potatoes next to their looming medical bills, until the debt collectors came knocking and literally chewed them out.
Lovely imagery.
Oh, that's some real irony there. I bet those collectors were mouthy.
@@maky9312 Their insults had some real bite.
Whatever threats they gave turned out to be not so toothless...
A genius comment
I would LOVE to see another cybernetic focused playthrough, it has been revamped a lot since Bran and he was my favorite character
SAME
Agreed.
get enough likes and he might just do so
The "throwing off" part of the jedi cloak description I'm pretty sure was just a reference to Obi Wan's battle with Darth Vader lol
Hope we see a longer running vanilla playthrough! As cool as Innawoods is, I do miss the urban exploring and lab diving of vanilla.
i need to learn to be as invested as you are into each newly created character. i often end up going through a bunch of characters because I don't care enough about them to actually pay attention early on.
I think making backgrounds and stories for them. In your head can make a big difference
Head cannon: The building is a youth center that he used to volunteer in when his health permitted since it is close to the hospital. There, he was quite popular as he made some mean fish n chips. He went there to see if any kids there needed help (and to get supplies)
Perhaps he used to wear the jedi cloak when playing with some of the younger kids
The head cannon is a Magiclysm implant.
Infected Cyborg Bran is out there somewhere, beware.
Seriously though, thanks RYCON for sharing more fun stories with all of us through the games you play.

I haven't but I'd love to give it a shot
Fun thing - CDDA is loosely based on New England, so "Worcester" should probably use the Massachusetts pronunciation - more like "wuh-stir"
That explains all the stabbing undead rampant drugs and riots!
*SPOILERS*
"Surviving a whole 2 minutes" LOL
Love that you don't just reload behind the scenes.
Absolutely love your commentary, not only that, but the fact that you are willing to send the new guys resources to find a familiar experience. Amazing video as always, stoked for the next one. Keep it up!
One thing that I love about your videos are the cinematic shots in the beginning. They really set the mood and are beautiful! Thank you so much for the amazing work you do!
I have had an itch for a new story; awesome!
Yesss. The earliest parts of a Cataclysm series are always the best... and now we have the two best Cataclysm youtubers, Rycon and Worm Girl, in that part of the game!
Just happy for a new run! Also, can't wait for a new Magiclism series!
God, neither can I. I fell of Magiclism, but it was so good!
I’ve been watching your content since at least 2019. You really know how to bring this game to life. It’s better than a lot of Netflix shows!
Good Luck to the challengers :)
A great start to the season.
In today's episode, Rycon was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning he broke his legs, and every afternoon he broke his arms. At night, he lies awake in agony until his heart attacks put him to sleep.
Also hooray for a new series!
So glad to see a new CDDA play. Innawood was good but, I missed the civilization aspect of your plays. Keep up the good work Rycon.
I frickin' LOVED Innawood, but I'm also hype as hell for these new CDDA challenges! 😁
so glad the CDDA series don't end with Innawood. Hyped to see a different side of the game after so many changes since the last regular playthrough, you never disappoint Rycon
i want to see you run a full-on post-threshold mutation character in any of the carnivore lines.
Going though a lot today, got outed to some family I didn't want to be out to
And dealing with that has been hard
But this right here
This is the relief I needed
More Please!
Hey really, sorry to hear that. Happy to provide some relief
@@ryconplays

@@justina6176 I'll be sure not to
Thank you so much
It's luckily working out
Turns out a girl saw me at pride all prettied up
And it ended up at my dad's first wife's door
And it's mitigated by how much the family hate her
And how well they know me
Excellent, love the challenges, looking forward to what comes next!
Just started playing CDDA and I’ve been enjoying your videos greatly
Excited to see these new uploads
Thanks for the content!
Oh awesome.

It's nice to see regular CDDA again
I'd like to see some monster hunter style challenge of trying to take down so many creatures. Possibly within a certain manner of days or maybe hunting down a notable monster connected to the survivor like a zombie hulk or such that they can realistically take down within the span of a short series
I’d love to see you do a series where your goal is to rebuild society and get into base building and the like
If there's one thign for certain in this world, it's that I can always watch a Rycon CDDA video.
i play this game so much that i'm pressing "m" to check the map while watching cdda on youtube
Rycon, you are the man! Thank you for all the content! Please keep it coming.
I haven't played CDDA in about 1.5 years, I'm not sure if they have made any changes to the scenario. Still, I never managed to survive the abandoned hospital without making an insanely broken character or re-rolling spawns until I got lucky.
A coat rack is what you're looking for to get a long stick inside a city.
Hey Rycon! Worcester is pronounced Wuss-ter not Warchester.
I’m from Massachusetts so I thought I would just toss that tidbit out there. Cheers!
Rycon hands down the goat
Those AR glasses are realllllly handy. Helps with distance vision like binoculars, and you can store all your books in the for quick access.
Starting with clothing? Luxury!
Always great to see another challenge, love your videos
Ah, I've missed these types of videos. Your Innawood series was good, but man it got to be a trip after a bit. Not that I don't like longform content, but sometimes I just crave that "new start" feel.
I know that feeling, the start of just so tense too, love it
Is there a larger narrative-focused series to come, at some point? I like these challenge videos, but It'd be a lie to say I don't enjoy longer narrative-focused series a lot. Either way, thank you for all the entertainment value.
Dusk is returning for her third season after this set of Short Survivals
@@ryconplays Music to my ears!
I love your CDDA shows. I watched Liefs tale and Magiclysm.
Man, just found you randomly, this is so cool. Great content my man.
Glad you're enjoying it be sure to check out the full short survival series playlist if you're looking for more 😊
Well i'm gonna do my best to follow this whole series!
Ye OLD BASEBALL BAT!!! You have no idea how many zombies I've killed and how many times that item has saved my life when I have nothing to defend my self when starting in a city.
Oh yes! Shortseries were so good!
Amazing to see Taika playing CDDA 😀
I was rooting for the first lad. 😔But I'm glad Elias is doing better.
I wonder what Rycon's definition of "Short survival series" entails.
Usually only 3-5 episodes per character, sometimes only one if we ace the challenge right away
super excited. in a wood was amazing but this will be cool
Just a second recommendation for Vormithrax, I've watched far too many hours of his videos, and learned nearly everything I know about the game from him.
Nice start
Hi Rycon! I missed this series and I look forward to what’s to come ❤ I never got the game to work for me so I don’t know what challenges there is. But I’ll make a request that magic will make a return or a funny camio 😊 Stay tuned!
New fun just dropped!
oooooh. here we go! new challenge!
11:30 This was a great episode, thanks.
Next!
so excited I loved last season
I haven’t watched the video yet but I want to say thank you for such great content
i love this series
So awesome! Would love to see a possible return to Project Zomboid. Either on here, or on the roleplay channel. Thanks for the great videos Rycon! :D
Got some Zomboid coming tomorrow in the form of a livestream 😊
@@ryconplays Ark and now Zomboid? I heard in discord you're potentially doing dwarf fortress, adventure of fortress?
*Here we go again!*
More CDDA!!!! 😍
Oh yes, another one. Thanks so much for the content rycon as always I actually smile when I see a new series. Is there any plans to bring back z land at all? Thanks again buddy
Working on Z-LAND atm. Won't be too much longer 🤞
@RYCONS Thanks so much Rycon have you thought about another project zomboid series as well? I think you could make such cool stories with that :).
As a new England who grew up right next to the real life Worcester, I can let you know the c isn’t pronounced as “ch” but is a “s” sound
Vorm would be proud!
new start
After in a wood I would kinda like to see you take some farm and turn it into a thriving city.
Best wishes
Hello RYCON I would like to see you play a person studing the coming portal storms trying to find one that may lead to a reality before the cataclysm and thank you for your wonderful content.
Sometimes the starts in this game are just .. rough ... spit me out in the middle of nowhere ... on an island ... good luck swimming
That's some luck right there the Advanced VR glasses are VERY helpful. The regular version are garbage, but the Advanced...primo!
"Worcester" is pronounced like "Wuster"
Because of reasons.
Is there some weird, enemy photography mechanic? I've never played a journalist, but I'm sure I could create Peter Parker, & snap all dozen or so spider mutants as a challenge.
This is a scenario I struggled with
Will there be any other game series?
They buffed grabbing and it's super dangerous now.
Food costs for using various devices smoker, microwave, oven (Have you even used appliances yet?) has had a massive overhaul the energy cost per food is significantly higher, so you will spend far more time cooking over fire than using any appliance or tool until mid to late game.

Worcester is pronounced Wuus-ter
I came here to say this 😅

dont really like the tileset but man i've been missing some good ol' normal cdda :D im hyped now
Aw, and still no second look at Arcana. :
Second attempt at watching this, was so tired I fell asleep in each scenario. Is this gonna go similar with Hilma? someone ending up in a series?
Yes most likely, it won't be quite as long as Hilmas though
We want more Bran!!!
I've been wondering for a while, what's the greeting at the beginning? Ciao there? Chowder?
Hey I'm saying Kia Ora, which is hello in Te Reo the first language of New Zealand 😊
Finally!
Ok, NGL, I thought instead of “Abandoned” collage the vid title was “Abbadon” collage
7:55 Oh... no... oh no.
10:40 - uh oh... nope.
10:46 No, no no NO! no!
11:25 Ahh crud.
YES!!!!!!!!!!
I was rooting for Norris and watching him get mauled was horrible
You should try narrating audiobooks
hype
11:14 Ep.1 (finale) lol
what happened with your innwoods playlist? what happened to your channel?
There are two channels this one and the neon Roleplay channel which is Rycon Roleplays. You can find the Innawood playlist if you go to this channels page and its be there in the sexton with all the other cdda playlists
world settings? i mustve missed them :(
Oh shoot, yeah sorry its default for everything bar city size which I have set to cityscape
Aw man, I already miss the Undead People tileset. Ultica just doesn't do it for me.
2 minute well spent eh
man is wayfarer actually a bad pick? (lmao)
XD
