Team Hatoful presents the Undertale Demo - Part 4

[davidn]

It's the final part of the Undertale demo! In this, we realize what we now have to do, and head to the final confrontation, which I attempt to resolve in the most peaceful manner possible.

Please have a supply of buckets for tears on standby, and curb any temptations for extreme violence towards plants that this video might unexpectedly awaken in you.

Well, we certainly are fabulous.

I was almost about to say outright that Professor Layton would never work, and then remembered that it... really did have a quite strong visual-novel side to it. But the important characters in each game all have voices anyway! There are so... many, many ingredients that have to come together to make the perfect game to voice, you're right, and Hatoful might just have been unique...

Loosening it is definitely going to be the way to go, because I don't want anyone thinking about it as an obligation - nothing to stop us releasing sub-group stuff under the same name, now that you mention it :) Recording has actually got a lot more simple since I got FRAPS to replace my previous mad setup - I can happily pass that knowledge on to anyone who feels like they've got enough space on their hard drive (though you'd also need a video editor).

Definitely think about NES/SNES games :) I noticed just now that Battletoads has a 2-player mode and I've always meant to play it - I have no idea what it is except it's reputed to be very frustrating. I'm not sure how well Internet play would work for something that fast-paced, though!

How would the posting etiquette go if you are not involved? We send you an edited video, you post under your account? Or should we really just get a team Youtube account and, possibly, give everyone access so we can just collectively deal with our own stuff?

How much raw video, and maybe even audio, does one Hatoful session generally net you?

[davidn]

That's a very good question! (Which is business-speak for "I have no idea") - posting all under one account rather than multiple personal ones would definitely keep the watchers from having to subscribe to a heap of channels. I hadn't really thought ahead to what my lack of involvement would imply :)

The Hatoful sessions I recorded with Camstudio 2 were, for hour-long videos, about 3GB each when you add up the size of the video (about 1.5GB) and the two audio recordings (750MB each). However, it depends on the codec you use - FRAPS doesn't use a compressor at all and so a five-minute video can be about 1GB, depending on the screen size, but this comes at the advantage of only minimally affecting the game speed (you can compress the video later). I would say you definitely need a dedicated partition of about 500GB to do it - I took an external hard drive apart and just installed that :)

You'll have to find a modified version of Battletoads. I'm almost completely positive that I've seen one before. The issue is that, apparently the game is so difficult that no 2-player team beta tested beyond the first half of the game. In one of the levels in the second half, the 2-P controls simple do not function. The level features a "chase," so the second player is immediately killed, and. . perhaps the screen doesn't scroll with the second player still so 1-P dies, too? Anyway, certainly 2-P will game over in this area. Which, you probably won't get to anyway; you're confidence is pretty impressive, from someone who knows the game. There is a modified version that enables full 2 player mode throughout the game; somewhere. .

Wow, that's... quite a thing to have missed! Did they just think "Nobody's going to get this far - ship it anyway..."

I think that's quite possible for it's age.
