Here’s the highlights: 1. New video coming out tomorrow at 10am EST: Mephisto does DMT on JRE 2. We haven’t disappeared, we’ve been scrubbing up a business plan so we can do this thing right 3. This thing being driving games and technology forward by poking fun at them while helping the maximum number of new games into the aether -if you have the time, read on..
It’s been a New York minute but we’re still here and it looks like you are too… Kudos!
Y’all are probably wondering what in the Sam Hill we’ve been up to the last little while and the truth is we got sucked down a rabbit hole. Several of them, all at once.
We stalled on a bunch of videos because there was no love in the work. We shit-canned the Ubisoft video because it felt like there was scathing criticism and virtue-signalling faux pas a-plenty but nothing constructive to say beyond “you know if you base a game in Feudal Japan, Japanese people are gonna play it and if you make the male Hero Character non-Japanese that means the only male Japanese characters left are the bad guys, right?” And that wasn’t worth our time. Or yours.
So what is?
We started this channel because we love the power of technology to amplify human imagination. Because we love games. The jankier the better. The way the top 30% or so of them are made and sold make us queasy but we wanna stop being angry all the time so we’re gonna start talking about the little games we love, plug into a community of people who want to make games and make more games ourselves.
We also dig screwing around with the new AI generation tools as they come up and seeing what kind of weird horizons they take us to.
Which brings me to our next video:
What started out as a simple shred of the Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred live action trailer devolved into a hilarious Audio Description version that we still thought wasn’t funny enough on its own to publish. Once we thought about adding Director’s Commentary it wasn’t long before we had Mephisto down in Vietnam Directing and bitching about the experience to Joe Rogan- we just had no idea how we would make it happen visually as no one left on the team can animate their way out of a burlap sack.
Then we found Hailuo AI… now this sure as shit ain’t an endorsement but this freebie site will let you take any still image and a prompt then spit out 6s of video doing just that.
We made a few hundred before we started stitching them together and decided we would ditch the live action trailer angle and go full bore on a DMT driven ride to the signal behind all this bad noise we’ve all been caught up in lately.
Unscripted
Ahoy everybody!
