Important point that was missed about time limits in arcade games - they forced players to play over and over to get good enough to just get to the next level, which meant... more quarters in the machine.
Something you mentioned about Mass Effect 2: I think there's a grace period of 1 mission between getting the Reaper IFF and the Collector attack. I'd always get the device, go on Legion's loyalty quest, then proceed with the Joker mission. I never needed to make that choice.
i am extremely dissapointed, in 237 years the internet is almost entirely wiped by an unimaginably powerful solar flare, 35 years later, Yugislov Travis actually manages to create a subviable network which is unaffected by the solar radiation, after everyone moves off world to live on the 16 countryships, social media slowly comes back to viability as the onboard farming systems make life easier, soon the social media websites known as TradeLedger, Stillbooth and funnily enough, Twitter, come to life, not only making intercountryship communication easier, but actually making extracountry communication available for the first time since 113 years ago when yugislov created what we now know as the internet, I actually met you slightly after this, as being an ageless superbeing, you're quite the celebrity at this point, seeing as you are one of the only living celebrities from before the great network collapse of 2257. despite this fact, i logged that you said this on a paperback journal just five minutes ago, and upon waking up in such a future where humanity has beaten senescence i found that when the day came to finally see the funny thing on Twitter in 3020... it was only very mildly amusing. i thought you were better than this.
The game is just a visual representation of the developement process, in real time. 4h to plot everything out, two weeks to draw and implement the first corridor, 120 days to get the moss thing working.
Considering that desert bus is several hours, whereas The Longing is over a real-time year, I don’t see how it couldn’t rival or exceed a desert bus charity unless it was a truly awful streamer coupled with an absolutely horrible charity, all watched entirely by completely penniless and dispassionate people.
@@JediMaestr0 Yeah... The Loading Ready Run charity stream of desert bus manages to go on for about 150 hours or so. (variable depending on donations) That's still a far cry from a 9600 hour long stream...

I remember, the first time I beat Minecraft survival I waited throughout the entire end screen because I felt I should've, my friends kept urging me to skip it because everyone's seen it before but I didn't listen. I watched the credits roll by and all the while I couldn't help but think "I did this by myself"
I like games but I'm not the best and don't finish most games I try. When I beat survival after playing the game for two years. It felt really good even though it wasn't too hard and the end credits were cool.
while I never beat Minecraft I get that feeling at every credits screen... Which I don't see to much of and the last one was Lugi's mansion 3... Because I mostly play multiplayer and endless games... So an actual credits screen is a rare and welcome sight.
I did the exact same thing. Sat through and just felt good. I wish I could beat it for the first time again, man it was a mess but so rewarding in the end
Saw your most recent video and it reminded me of the same kind of in-depth analysis of video games that this video provided. I'm a sucker for those kinds of videos so I had to subscribe. Great stuff.
@@tengilvontronje8069 no, it's based on waiting for a bus, specifically Arriva (which I would like to stress are a terrible, horrible, unreliable company who somehow keep getting given big contracts in my area and charging absolutely extortionate prices for buses that are invariably either late or which just don't come at all. And that's what this game is definitely about.)
One example not yet mentioned is The Last Express. An adventure game on a train that runs in 'real time'. You can't be everywhere at once, so you can miss things happening. Also, there are time limits on puzzles you're not even aware of - until it's too late. Fortunately, you can rewind time, allowing you to find that perfect path through the game once you've learnt about the schedules of other passengers on the train.
.... This brings up an interesting question about this particular game design concept. Was Majora's Mask the first game to do it, or not? Because for the longest time it was the only one I knew of....
@@KuraIthys I think Majora's Mask might be the first. I have a gut feeling there could be some obscure PC game that might predate it, but unless that's ever dug up, that's the first.
@@mxtrando8276 it was actually pretty nice, because it was a very small production studio. I was only there for a short while, helping with shading backgrounds and things like that, but it was a really chill working experience ☺️
I’ll just say this, I love The Longing, because it was just something so different to everything and anything I’ve played before. Of course since my first playthrough, I have played a fair few games with similar ideas, themes and the similar type of calm exploration. I played it for about 10 weeks, but by bit, and part by part, and when i finally got the ending, I felt fulfilled, I may not have seen everything, I may not have done everything, but I did it my way, and it’s something that is very hard to find in other games. Good job on such a good game, that helped my adhd and anxiety, because I had the time in the game
@@klo1679 I agree, it's a unique idea that really forces you to slow down. A really nice breath of air nowadays. Even tho I was only involved for a short amount of time, I'm glad you enjoyed it and that it was able to help you :)
Zac Scrivener as someone doing a Bachelor of Arts in animation and gaming design, this information isn’t useless lol. Especially since I’m currently building a prototype for a game
@@Blox117 Granted. They ended because a massive solar flare completely destroys all electromagnetic devices and all wireless connections, turning gaming, using the internet and cellphones impossible.
I bought this game immediately because it seems right up my alley. The emphasis on time and how much of it you have left also reminds me of the persona games! You always have to keep in mind the end of the year, but that makes the time you have with everyone so much more meaningful.
"the knowledge in the back of your head that the time with the shade must one day come to an end makes that time all the more important." *cries in unus annus*
This game is amazing. I played it together with some friends and it took us about a week and half or so. It was a great time and a great game. Teaches you alot.
"turns out I'm a metaphor for capitalism or something I don't know" that is hands-down the most realistic thing about modern game design I've ever seen any TH-cam video.
@@Captain.Mystic yeah that too. I like to see a movie that centers around the hyperinflation of giving everybody a shit ton of money for no reason. In Venezuela, we're turning your money into origami cranes and selling them online yield dozens of times more money than the number printed on said origami crane.
This game really says a lot about life. Do you want to carry on through the mundane to build towards things that are of value, or would you rather just avoid it all and have no substantial experiences?
this is a really important message tbh. too many games want you to feel obligated to play for their bottom line, but it's your duty to yourself to guard your time and spend it on the things that genuinely please you. too many people sink time into games or shows that they hate. it's okay to cut something lose; you will 1000000% fill the ensuing void with something afterwards.
Yep, UFO beams and lava are the only things I've heard of that can damage it, but killing it takes so long that it's not worth it for any reason other than bragging rights. Plus it can still spawn again in the next level
@@sfc0450 Don't forget the Abyss - by far the fastest way to kill it! And there is one very niche reason to kill the ghost - it allows you to do a setup where you dupe a bunch of hired hands and warp to World 23!

I hate how the older we get, the faster time goes by. And it's not even because we enjoy it but because we get more and more things planned, like work, that we start counting how much time we have left to enjoy the day. Even "resting" is scheduled in your day to day life for only a set amount of time because you have other things to do.
I would say time moves faster when we get older because our perception of time changes. As a 10-year-old a year feels like forever, but its also 10% of your life. When you're 50, a year seems to go by really quick, but its also 2% of your life. Time doesn't go faster because we plan, but rather our perception of how much time is in a year gets smaller and smaller.
It's not just that too. It's also because, relatively speaking the older you get the lesser fractions a day or a month become. Think about it when you are 10, 5 years seems like a lot because its been half your life. But when you are 50, it's just 1/10 of it. That's why things seem to become a blur the more you live. Then add onto that memory loss when you are even older...
I miss playing skyrim AFTER all the maior quests are done, just to hunt some deer, get to walk a bit in the countyside, camp a night in the woods, really good experience overall. This “The longing” looks like a good game for adults.
How can you play a game after you’ve beaten it? I beat skyrim, after killing alduin I didn’t get on for a long time, when I did, I reset the game and decided to be a stealth archer, and nowadays I never play that save, or Skyrim at all I’m currently playing(and trying to 100%) horizon: new dawn, similar to Skyrim, just quite a bit different, it’d be a stretch to say every Skyrim fan will enjoy it, but most Skyrim fans will enjoy it, probably
The greatest advice I can give from playing the game to death is that regardless if the enemy is a shambling horror a blood sucking spider woman or a random crackhead just use riposte and if that doesn’t work blight with a weird mime jamming with the nun being support
“This game takes 400 days to complete.” Meanwhile, terraria calamity players waiting for their final boss to actually be released so they can beat the game properly: ☠️
if i had a cent for everytime i saw a terraria calamity related comment on this video, i'd have two cents. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
here is a funny thing you should do... take the years that you are reasonable gonna live from now on (i'm 20 so i'm gonna say 60 years for me) and multiply it by 52... now i know that i only have to get over 3120 mondays at most. there's also this nice picture, just google "a 90 year human life in weeks" and you can even get a calendar where you can literally X out every week
If it serves of any consolation, getting the achievement "Go Outside" from The Stanley Parable requires the player to never play the game again for 5 years in a row.
Imagine purposely setting a timer of 5 years from the time you close Stanley Parable just so you could get the achievement. 5 years later, the timer runs out, you click on "Play Game", and no achievement. You then realize that the game took around 3 seconds to completely close and so you opened the game a few seconds too early.
"We waste hours grinding away at stuff we don't really enjoy because it will make other stuff we also don't enjoy happen slightly faster" *shows runescape footage* I feel personally attacked
Once you get this stuck in ur head it becomes hard to play games. Kind of like whats the point. Especially pc games. You just keep making ur pc faster without actually using it to play games that utilize the speed.
There was no greater feeling of liberation than when I was playing one of those dime-a-dozen town-building games on mobile, and I was hit with the revelation of how much of my time and energy was focused on playing I game I wasn't really playing. And that's fair enough when it comes to games that have a meaning, message, or payoff... but some of these games are just ad revenue generators for the devs. It's a double-edged sword, because games have probably never been as free and accessible as ever (this would've blown my mind as a kid in the 90s), but they can also take advantage of people's time and money in pretty cynical ways. It'd be curious to see just how many hours people have given up watching unskippable ads just to "enjoy" a few more minutes of passive gameplay.
It reminds me of that one flash game 700 years or something like that. Where you are a rock creature trying to get to and end goal you don't know. You have to wait for trees to grow and lakes to freeze. Spoiler In the end you reach the end goal of a volcano. Tossing yourself in blocking the lava from killing the world in the future.
It’s called a conversation that needs a lead up. Extra information, etc. Some points don’t have the same weight if you don’t have enough information to give them context.
Anybody still play? I might get back to it iif somebody is feeling generous. Gave mosta my shit away when I quit, and it makes me not wanna play. But the yearning is there. Lol
Your explaining of your character in the longing meeting new characters and making connections reminds me heavily of how pokemon mystery dungeon handled engagement in the endgame up to the final dungeon and the ending. Making connections with characters that you know you'll eventually have to leave is a very effective storyteller
GMes are a media of both enjoyment and of a media that was developed as a new interesting and portable structure thas is a new mechanic to both engage and advance technology as well as a new narrative stand point Games like many things are to have fun and pass time but also can be moral points and a form of knowledge for you to gain
Exactly. When you try to have fun by playing “classics” or “must-plays” or trying to play like a critic ruins the mood. That mood is what makes staying up late on your ds lite on a stormy night playing Pokémon, so great
Wow I was not expecting this video to be soo in depth about so many different time/clock mechanics in games and the history of it, great work and great video
I have 2 accounts on RS that I've spent way too much time on, a main that I created on 2005, and a hcim from when the ironman challenge was introduced. That amount of time I've put into both accounts makes me shudder. They have a combined +1,000 days of playtime across both (and a small "dive" into OSRS). I'm currently not playing RS, but for anyone who knows about RS, you never really quit, you just take breaks.
Just rewatched this. Absolutely a masterpiece of a video. You provide some very deep insights in a very fun to enjoy format. You should be proud of the work you put into this.
I personally didn't have any quarks with the game and I played it a few times. I didn't think it was really a bad game but it wasn't out standing either or anything. So yeah I agree it was a bit over hyped though to be fair there's only so much you can expect from a mobile game.
@@YEs69th420 no the game was hyped by the game it self and the Peter advertisements meaning they made it look better that it actually was. The game was still hyped even though they were played. Also paying someone to advertise you is how most games get out there even some large games.
Did you know? The creators of The Longing mentioned in an interview that they drew inspiration for the game from their own experiences of waiting for an Arriva bus.
me: there is no way i could play a game for 400 days also me: getting an achievement in crush crush for playing for 1 year where i'm still playing a bit daily
dude this video veered off into an incredibly good analysis of time mechanics in video games and i forgot i was watching a video about the longing because i was so immersed in the topics. genuinely insane stuff. subscribed
Human brains are apparently very good at filling in (read: ignoring/forgetting) breaks in information, as it is deemed irrelevant. It's actually a handy trick in public speaking. A second's pause here and there can help your mind catch up with your mouth, while people's brains don't notice a difference.
The timer speeds up tremendously when you upgrade your mancave.
2 ปีที่แล้ว +6
And read and do other activities. I felt mixed about that, but at least the game rewarded you with something for improving your cave. I loved the overall experience!
This was really good, I do love how the Longing takes all these often-exploitative time mechanics and makes it all purely a way of setting tone and atmosphere. And I found the bit where you talked about how it applies to humans in general rather affecting too. *Especially* with the use of the Outer Wilds music during that moment too. :3
Wow halfway through the video, I completely forgot we were discussing The Longing because I was so engrossed with your descriptions of the other games. Can’t wait to try out the sexy brutale, never heard of it before

@@ad-skyobsidion4267 Minecraft is a short and easy game to “beat” if you think of the End meaning the end of the game. You just punch a tree, make tools, mine stone, make tools, go in a cave mine iron, make tools, make a bow, mine diamonds, make tools, get obsidian, kill some firey bois, kill some tall bois, get netherite tools if you want, make those eyes of ender, follow it, go in the doungeon, activate the portal, kill the dragon boom you tenically beat the game.

One example not yet mentioned is The Last Express. An adventure game on a train that runs in 'real time'. You can't be everywhere at once, so you can miss things happening. Also, there are time limits on puzzles you're not even aware of - until it's too late. Fortunately, you can rewind time, allowing you to find that perfect path through the game once you've learnt about the schedules of other passengers on the train.
sounds like outer wilds style of using time
.... This brings up an interesting question about this particular game design concept.
Was Majora's Mask the first game to do it, or not?
Because for the longest time it was the only one I knew of....
Unpopular opinion but I hate using real time in games, probably because I played too many free mobile games
@@KuraIthys I think Majora's Mask might be the first. I have a gut feeling there could be some obscure PC game that might predate it, but unless that's ever dug up, that's the first.

can i ask what you experience was like?
@@mxtrando8276 it was actually pretty nice, because it was a very small production studio. I was only there for a short while, helping with shading backgrounds and things like that, but it was a really chill working experience ☺️
I’ll just say this, I love The Longing, because it was just something so different to everything and anything I’ve played before.
Of course since my first playthrough, I have played a fair few games with similar ideas, themes and the similar type of calm exploration.
I played it for about 10 weeks, but by bit, and part by part, and when i finally got the ending, I felt fulfilled, I may not have seen everything, I may not have done everything, but I did it my way, and it’s something that is very hard to find in other games.

I hate how the older we get, the faster time goes by.
And it's not even because we enjoy it but because we get more and more things planned, like work, that we start counting how much time we have left to enjoy the day.
Even "resting" is scheduled in your day to day life for only a set amount of time because you have other things to do.
Yeah. :/ What can we really do about it though?
I would say time moves faster when we get older because our perception of time changes. As a 10-year-old a year feels like forever, but its also 10% of your life. When you're 50, a year seems to go by really quick, but its also 2% of your life. Time doesn't go faster because we plan, but rather our perception of how much time is in a year gets smaller and smaller.
I've heard somewhere that a year to a newborn feels as long as a lifetime.
It's not just that too. It's also because, relatively speaking the older you get the lesser fractions a day or a month become. Think about it when you are 10, 5 years seems like a lot because its been half your life. But when you are 50, it's just 1/10 of it. That's why things seem to become a blur the more you live. Then add onto that memory loss when you are even older...
@@sharkmaniak7872 I agree, time gets proportionally smaller in comparison to the rest of our lives for every second

If it serves of any consolation, getting the achievement "Go Outside" from The Stanley Parable requires the player to never play the game again for 5 years in a row.
Really?
i dont get it theyre happy u went outside but its called go outside??
@chunksfunks It’s more said in a condescending way. As if the developer is judging you for spending so much time in front of the computer screen.
Imagine purposely setting a timer of 5 years from the time you close Stanley Parable just so you could get the achievement. 5 years later, the timer runs out, you click on "Play Game", and no achievement. You then realize that the game took around 3 seconds to completely close and so you opened the game a few seconds too early.

Once you get this stuck in ur head it becomes hard to play games. Kind of like whats the point. Especially pc games. You just keep making ur pc faster without actually using it to play games that utilize the speed.
There was no greater feeling of liberation than when I was playing one of those dime-a-dozen town-building games on mobile, and I was hit with the revelation of how much of my time and energy was focused on playing I game I wasn't really playing. And that's fair enough when it comes to games that have a meaning, message, or payoff... but some of these games are just ad revenue generators for the devs.
It's a double-edged sword, because games have probably never been as free and accessible as ever (this would've blown my mind as a kid in the 90s), but they can also take advantage of people's time and money in pretty cynical ways. It'd be curious to see just how many hours people have given up watching unskippable ads just to "enjoy" a few more minutes of passive gameplay.
You do know that all ads can be forcibly made skippable?
It reminds me of that one flash game 700 years or something like that. Where you are a rock creature trying to get to and end goal you don't know. You have to wait for trees to grow and lakes to freeze.
