Here I make videos whenever.
Mechasolaris started as a Minecraft animation channel, but now I just use it to share any projects I create, most of which are related to video games. I keep making Secret Laboratory videos...

(I have most of my older videos saved but I haven't come up with a good plan to bring them back if at all. I hope to do something.)

I want to make my own games, but my work ethic would make dev logging very embarrassing so forget I said anything! I am not releasing anything!

What do I use:
I use Blender and sometimes Flash for animations
I have used Hitfilm Express as a video editor for a while, but it's dead now so I'd look for something else.
Artwork is done in GIMP and I draw with an old Wacom Cintiq13.

While I'm not certain yet, I'm thinking of making a short video that could serve as a better, more basic introduction to SCPSL for new players. Something a little more future proof maybe. I see that the Official SCPSL Discord has a bot command that links people to the "2020 Guide" whenever someone asks for help getting into the game and I think that telling people to watch an hour long video that they now need to filter through to get useful information out of is probably not a great way to on-board them.

I've said that the 2020 guide will be the last one (for a handful of reasons) and it will likely remain that way, but I still play SL and I still think it requires a lot of patience and generally a big time investment to learn. Thankfully, there are a lot more people covering this game than there were a few years ago so there are plenty more resources available for it now.

I HAVE been playing around with the idea of how you could condense all the context, mechanics and match structure of SL into the smallest package possible but again, I haven't entirely decided yet. I figured I would make a post about this to let anybody who comes here know if I have any plans. There MIGHT be another video, but if there is, it probably won't be an "In-depth Parabellum" guide.

The room models from the SCP Secret Laboratory 2020 Guide are here for download if anyone wants them.

(edit: they posted it on the steam community page as well) For those not on the SCPSL Official discord, the devs say that if the Scopophobia update doesn't get finished by May 29th, they'll be making the beta public.

Hope the latest SL update comes soon. Sounds like a couple of the things I talk about my video may get outdated soon...

I'm almost there. I didn't realize how long this was going to be.

I can't really say when the video will be done, but it should be a significant step up from the original.

Regardless of the visibility it may have in the new year, I am still making the new SCP:SL guide.

I've made well over 100 videos between 2013-2015. Most of them have been unlisted, but in sorting through them, I've found that a couple videos really have no reason to be not public besides being just really really old and maybe "cringey". They will be listed again.

Following up the last post, the changes I make to my channel shouldn't be too dramatic, it's just that for me right now, there is a lot of confusion as to how the new video settings will work and I'm just concerned.

I'm probably going to make a channel update video soon. Just to talk about what I'm doing with Mechasolaris in regards to the future of Youtube. I don't know everything about the changes being brought by the FTC stuff, but I am very concerned and want to make sure my channel will be ready.
