Your video editing on spot
Text-centric dialogue is something I miss; voiced dialogue is great when you're doing something else at the same time, but voiced dialogue has never reached the level that procedural text dialogue did. Using text it's possible to change out names, phrases, and even create names on the fly. Spoken dialogue means that if the player can create their own name, it'll never be spoken (some games did include a number of names that could be spoken, but not every possible one. Black & White and Fallout 4 took this approach).
If you go up to an NPC on the street in Daggerfall, you can ask them about the location of your destination, and they'll give you an answer based on the relative position of that building or character (and sometimes they'll be wrong too). Not only that, but you had different modes of speaking to NPCs, each of which would work better or worse based on what type of character they were, but reacting badly to the other. So a street thug would react negatively to upper class manners and mock you, but a noble would be horrified by casual street talk.
Morrowind removed most of the dynamic dialogue, NPCs now always give the same directions to the same locations and can't help you about any others. It did still give NPCs a huge shared library of dialogue to spout about various topics in the world if the player wanted to know. This dialogue was shared between genders and races (which could sometimes not fit, but in general it worked fine). Once Oblivion came along though, it removed most of the generic, shared dialogue, replacing it with 2-3 lines of unique dialogue for an NPC and a rumours option that was shared. At least each NPC got to be themselves, but it still feels like something was lost. Plus with voiced dialogue, each option can't result in too much dialogue, or it will take forever for players to take it in because of how slow voices tend to be compared to reading text. And text dialogue is far cheaper to produce.
I know subtitles exist, but they feel like a poor man's text box, being on a constant timer before disappearing forever. Gimme that Morrowind hyperlink-filled text box any day.
I'm so glad you're making TH-cam videos again! Also, you'd be a great story teller. I could listen to you all day, and I get bored or annoyed at watching any channel for too long.
Thank you, I appreciate you coming back to watch 😊 if you ever need a storyteller I'm your gal haha
Interesting video. Lovely retro vibe. You are charismatic. Would love to see more about game mechanics. 😊
Thank you 😌 you never know what the future holds...
14:30 Daniel Mullins (creator of Pony Island and Inscryption) actual does this in a few games and it was super cool.
Remember when we had to acutally discover environments or sometimes even needed to draw maps of them because we didn't have mini maps? Every find felt much more special, because you didn't find it because of an icon on the minimap but because you discovered it. I get why minimaps exist, it can be frustrated to get stuck... but still, it can be fun to explore and discover and maybe even miss things, especially in times of the internet... You might see a let's play and realise that that person had a very different experience. May it be because of random events, not so obvious choices or just by being allowed to not care and miss sidequests or locations.
I remember when playing the game was rewarded with cutscenes. You wanted to go through the game to see the next part of the story. I liked it the most in final fantasy 7
I can tell a lot of work was put into this great video , informative and entertaining and passionate…. Great stuff , really enjoyed it
Thank you, I appreciate the support because this video certainly did have a lot of work and passion put into it. I'm glad you enjoyed 😊
True Love 95 (a hentai dating sim) had a schedule & skill mechanic as well.
You start each day chosing you schedule for the day. During school days your morning and afternoon were blocked out for school but evenings and night you could chose from a preset list of activities, each one increasing a stat or granting some other effect.
For example working gave you money, while going shopping let you spend said money to buy gits or bonus items.
When you went to sleep it would calculate all bonuses and increase or decrease abilities as necessary.
As a dating sim some of the girls would only interact with you if you had a certain skill score.
You also had a calendar and if you did certain things at specifics days or times you could trigger special events/meetings.
Awesome reminder of tools we used to love. I would love to see a series on some of your favorite game puzzles.
This one has been made for me, thank you!
It's my pleasure, I hope you enjoy!
17:22 nice challenge! xDDD
Such an amazing video! I just discovered your channel with this one and immediately subscribed!
Can’t wait to see the others
Thank you and welcome to the channel, I'm glad to hear that you enjoy the content here 😌
This was a lovely trip down memory lane!
I do miss a lot of those mechanics and I specially think most multiplayer games should offer the option for online and local.
Thanks Yagman for awesome content as always!
Great list! I recently played through obscure 1 and 2 with my gf, and that was a wild couch co-op experience with tons of old school survival horror mechanics. There's lots there that could be done better, but outside of that I definitely want to try bringing a lot of these back in a VR game I'm working on.
Oh I've never heard of that game, thanks for bringing it to my attention. Sounds great, best of luck with your VR game!
You are very engaging and interesting. I'd like to see more vids like this. Also, your other vid around development of your own game was interesting. Keep it coming.
Thank you for the words of encouragement, I shall!
Thank You for this video, I was looking how I could spice up my generic running simulator horror game, I got some ideas now😅
Excellent video! I would love a series on different types of mechanics based on game genre
Oooh that's a very good idea. I'm glad you enjoyed!
I try to use randomization in very game I make. If I can make something that surprises even me, the maker, then you know you've made soemthing good. This is super important in horror games as replay value can be difficult.
Another banger!
you are badass!!! I am a game developer and saw some of your videos on Unity. Really awesome
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy them. Best of luck with your games 😁
Waaa new videos again ♡
Love your vids ♡
Your fan from PH ♡
Thank you, I hope you enjoy 😊
@@yagmanx yeeees of course specially those horror-zombie games that you played, i love it. Keep it up and take careeeee idol. ♡
Great video! So much in it I had to watch it twice already. I haven't played many horror games so they were all new to me. Gregory horror show looks really weird but interesing. My favourite unexpected bits were about Hidden choices and fixed camera angles. The bits I was looking out for were immersive skill progression and couch co-op. Good to see them there and you explained them really well. I too remember reading the game manual on the way back from the store! Good times. I remember at christmas sometimes I wouldn't be with my pc for a few days so I read the manual front to back. It would be nice if we had more beautiful digital game manuals. I suppose there are community wikis. There's something missing though.
You watched this video twice 20 hours ago despite it not being published yet. Are you ok?
@@voxelvoid Patreons get to watch it before it gets published ;)
So glad you enjoyed the video Bruce! Thanks for voting on it in the patreon poll, it was a fun one to make so I'm glad it won :D Aww I love that! So many golden memories, I do wish we could recapture them again
@@yagmanx Oh, sorry, I didn't know that :>
I dunno why this channel is so underrated!
Quality content!
Thank you! So glad you like the content, I try my best 😊
The style and editing are on fire
Thank you for noticing 😁 Oh yes great point, I loved the rewind mechanic as it also allows the player a chance to reverse their choices. Oxenfree is a beautiful game ❤
awesome vid!
Thank you for watching 😊
Great video :D
Glad you liked it!
That horse school game's approach could have been a great way to make the Harry Potter game feel more like a Hogwarts experience..
Good point, it could definitely add to any school-sim type game!
The first Amnesia was a masterpiece, it felt so oppressive and claustrophobic.
Absolutely, and it was so unique for the time. After that we got a lot of clones so it's not as effective as it was back then. Goes to show the effectiveness of trying something new 😊
Absolutely need a come back for local co-op!
It's telling that it takes two won game of the year last year!
It was weird that Eternal Darkness Sanity's Requiem (a GameCube game) was the first title mentioned after saying in the time of PS2. Not wrong, but odd that it was first. Didn't it also have a chance to tell the player the memory card was corrupted or the save was deleted? Had to rewatch four minutes of video because I was distracted by that, lol.
The amount of work and thought put into this fantastic video is wonderful! 10/10 would watch again.
@19:10 Students visit the restroom to improve social status? Don't most people prefer privacy when they go to the loo?
The special mentions! Yes! 100% yes! Every single one 1000 times yes.
Haha good point, I actually didn't play that game so my memories were from around ps2 times but my research brought me to it and it looks so unique and was exactly the mechanic I was looking for!
Thanks, I did put a lot of work in so I'm glad that comes across, appreciate the watch and the comment 😁
I now want a narrative game that features dialogue choices, but doesn't tell you what's significant and adjusts the choices you get in the background, based off the choices you have made. So for example, if you tend to be confrontational, the game will gradually fade out the more amiable options towards those characters. Eventually the whole story and world would adapt based on who your character interacts with, how they interact with them, and how they interact with the world as a whole. I think that could lead to some interesting, organic storytelling, and avoid interactions that feel unnatural or forced based on your choices
Yes this sounds like the type of game I'm craving as well. I LOVE branching narrative games but I would like the option for it to be organic as I'm way too much of an indecisive person
@@yagmanx Same. When given options, my first choice is always "Ummmm?" 😂😂
Random Events are in the game Visage which released in 2020. Basically different scares and sightings of the ghosts if you have lower sanity. I enjoyed watching multiple playthroughs on youtube so much and anticipating which scares each person would experience. It actually made it re-watchable (and replayable)
Ah yes! I need to replay that game as it's changed quite a lot since I gave it a go a few years back. Thanks for the reminder!
I miss the ability to look behind you. I've only seen that mechanic in Silent Hill Downpour.
Have you played fatal frame? Your attire 2:45 reminded me some of their themes. BTW, the 'Gregory's horror show' character is so cute, especially when peaking like that 3:14 😄
- Actually, eavesdropping/peaking is quite an awesome mechanic and I think its the best one in this list (apart from 'fixed camera perspective') as it draws the player into the game
- I think its a cool mechanic because it plays with the players curiosity and instinctive nature.
A game called 'michigan: report from hell' used it - however for mostly notorious purposes 😅 the game itself starts off well but quickly falls apart due to bad voice acting and an uninspired gameplay.
excellent :)
They could adapt sightjacking to modern or scifi settings too. Let's say you play a superspy whose gimmick is attaching cameras to wandering NPCs and you use this to solve problems, like watching as a guard inputs a PIN into a door lock, or scouting out an area or so on.
Ooo great idea yes!
I thought I was having dejavu. I read all of this verbatim on a blog somewhere recently.
I have a blog version on Medium too so was probably mine haha!
I prefer the cinematography of fixed cameras with the precision of tank controls.
Give me a game that plays like REmake (1) with the heart and soul of silent hill 2s narrative. I can't imagine a more perfect horror game.
Sounds like a game id very much enjoy!
If it makes you happy, I AM using random events based on sanity for the game I'm making, and the player choices too (without menus). I always disliked the choice system in RE3, it felt like the game tried to force you to an action, in RE2 the game never told you about the gas tank for the crocodile, so it's better when the player finds out by themselves... So player choices are an integral bit for the game I'm making too.
As for fixed camera angles, I'm staying away from those lol, I don't like them, and I wouldn't want to make something I don't enjoy. The fixed cam angles break my immersion and makes me think the game characters are idiots, just because they can't see the zombie right in front of them unless the camera allows them. Hiding enemies behind camera feels cheap. I DID have a static cam angle section (the way I could make it work for me in order to be immersed) is that your character is guiding another character in a dark area by using security cameras, and you're playing that in first person looking at a screen where a render texture is applied on the static camera angles. I lost the project, and I'm considering if I really need to add that bit again or not.
Having a zombie positioned just outside of the camera's view is a decision by the developer, it's not something that's required by the camera angle, and can still happen in third-person games or even first-person games where the field of view is very low (which is extra common in horror titles so the player can't see as much). It seems like the kind of feature that would be used in a game to be more "cinematic", since fixed camera angles are extremely common in movies and shows, and actually accomplishes being artistically cinematic unlike black bars or 30 FPS.
Also didn't eXperience 112 do the "guiding a character via security cameras" thing for its entire game? Oh, and Republique too I think? Seems like a neat idea, I don't know of any games that have done it to a reasonable level of success.
Oh sounds promising! Best of luck with your game 😊
What resources would you recommend for starting with shadergraph?
have you ever played FEAR? It has some nice jump scares and cool enemies like faceless demons.
Eternal Darkness is so good, I'm really interested in creative insanity mechanics; also the Condemned section is also pretty cool
Great video Yas you must've put in a lot of work for so many examples
Haha yagburp! Good idea 😏
Thanks as always for your support, really appreciate it and I'm glad you enjoyed this video ❤ it makes he time spent on it worthwhile
Muy interesante.
gracias
I remember when your score in a game mattered. These days not too much. For the most part, in Fortnite when you die, or even win a match, the score screen is really slow and boring, and sometimes you can't even pull up your map screen to see how many kills (eliminations) you had because the squad is readying up for the next match. Your team mates can't even see your achievements, they have no idea how skilled you are, or if you've just been derping around the entire match. Yet this game is raking in millions of dollars a day still. sigh...
Dang, I'm only 30 and don't remember scores ever mattering. Weren't they just for old timey arcades where multiple people would be playing the same public system?
@@saffral i think the first score system was on space invaders, the invention of a scoring system gave you a reason to keep playing and to keep popping quarters!
@@imothy I know scores have been around for a long time, and I remember some old adventure games would have points based on what puzzles you solved or actions you took throughout the game, and getting maximum points was like an extra completion challenge and could lock away 100% completion bonuses. Just not a thing I grew up with in the 90s.
Horse girl confirmed!
