Index of Treasures?
« on: December 09, 2008, 03:33:25 am »
Yeah, so I was thinking it might be helpful to some people to make a video archive of all the special treasures in the game. This would probably include costumes and pets, and maybe memories if I feel ambitious enough. However, this would be a major undertaking, so I would like to know if it would be useful at all, or if it would just spoil the fun of finding these things on your own?

I think the written description is enough - making such a series of videos almost always ends up in the maker giving up halfway through (as in the Let's Play Aquaria series). The maker stopped at the Kelp Forest.

The game is just too big and involved :o And besides if that was done then a lot of people would just follow that to the letter and miss the best part. Exploring and discovery :D

I'd love videos of the Veil (normal and icy) treasures, at the very least. I can stare at the maps all day, I still don't know how to get the cake at the top left of the veil (it's the first page of the PDF maps file). Even when I know TECHNICALLY what I need to do, seeing someone else run it would be fun.

It would spoil the fun, as that's a major appeal of the game, exploring. It'd be better to just do a full let's play, as that will also appeal to people that have never/will never play the game. But it's true many Let's Play's lose steam part way through and never get finished.

Ok. Maybe after I finish this playthrough I will go back and do it again, but all on video...

Heh heh. Good luck. ;)

I dunno, normally I think its bad to go and watch someone else do everything and run the whole story/puzzle aspect of a game, but if someone is really stuck then its nice for there to be something they can do about it...

I think it would be nothing more than a novelty, at best. The payoff would not be worth the effort.

I found the video of the OP battle useful to a degree, but even then I didn't get it fully so they are not infallable. Oh I understood the moves but seeing it didn't tell me that he only stuck his tongue out when Naija is near his mouth, (though it should of I supose?) I can't rember who told me but I felt just slightly embarased by that lol

Nunix which veil is that, the Ice or the other?

That one way to get a bit of videos on your account.
