Hey everyone, here are the results of the videochat for anyone who wanted to take a look at it:

 

 

 

There was lots of rambling, but I went over a lot of things and answered a bunch of different questions. For those that don't want to watch all this, I don't blame you, probably the biggest news in this was that due to such fantastic support from the fundraiser, I plan on continuing Freeman's Mind out of respect for the viewers. Having my back the way people have this past month has made such a difference in my life that I feel like I owe it to the audience. The downside however, is I don't want to let this push aside the movie, so I won't even begin on it until after I've made significant progress on the technical end of things for the movie, specifically establishing my animation systems and having rigged character models. Even after that, progress will be slow, but hey, more Freeman's Mind in the future!

 

This video is completely unedited and while I'm making this first one totally visible on the Youtube channel, for future ones, I thought I might post them unlisted, so that regular viewers aren't spammed by them each month. They'll still be easily accessible from the site here however. Let me know if people have suggestions for when the next monthly chat should be, I'm leaning towards December 6th, but I don't know what time yet.

Dammit, I wasn't able to make it. I'll definitely watch some of the video though.

 

Also, nice to hear Freeman's Mind will return eventually.

Ok, I'm curious. (Haven't seen the livestream yet,) Would Ross make Freeman's Mind 2, or would he make Freeman Across The Universe, (under the pretense that Freeman is getting "jobs" from G-Man or something?)

Yes, he might be making another Freeman's Mind, but we're going to have to expect months in between new episodes. It'll only be a thing after the movie production becomes stable, which might take a year at least. So, yeah, earliest date for Freeman's Mind is 2017.

...on the subject of Undertale - it's currently rated the 20th best PC game ever on Metacritic. Regardless of your opinion of Metacritic, that has to count for something.

 

And it has turn based combat, but only superficially. It's more of a cleverly designed bullet hell.

Hello Ross!

 

I just finished watching the YouTube post for your videochat, and I would say it was quite entertaining and swell!

 

For another option on where to host it, how about Google Hangouts?

As long as you don't mind tainting your hands with the supposed evil that is Google+ (according to the internet at large), it has a system with a lot of useful features for this, I think.

 

-Watchers can vote on others' questions, and they get presented to you by rank

-You select a question you want to answer as you get to them, and then the end video is indexed by these questions for watchers to search through later.

-There used to be some integration with YouTube, such as a scheduling an event notice, that subscribers would get. (I don't know if this got removed with the retraction of Google+ from YouTube though)

 

So this way you could get to more desired questions, maybe reduce redundant questions, and still get some sort of notice out to YouTube, since it is the main distribution you are using.

 

Here's an example, a QnA by the band Steam Powered Giraffe: https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/c5lthnqme8f07mu6mvg1pml0bh4

 

How does that sound? What do the rest of Yalls think?

 

Thanks a lot for existing,

I'm personally indifferent to you posting the videos unlisted or not, you should probably just make a poll and see where everyone stands on it. (Or if you hear a lot of backlash in the youtube comments) I think you should do your next video chat either early-late at night or earlier in the day, for those of us that work nights or people who are inherently night owls.

Okay! Long post ahead, but I thought this is something that might make it easier for some of you viewers. I've written down almost every question asked and placed a time beside it to refer to. I've also fully written out any questions that I thought stood out among the rest. I apologize for any mistakes I've made, or things that I was unable to decipher from Ross' ranting. XP If you missed the stream, and you want to know if a question was answered but don't want to go through the whole 2 hour video, this should make it easier for you. Just open the spoilers and Ctrl+F your way to victory.

For the smaller questions, I either wrote out word for word what he said, or a simple summary. Cause, screw writing every single thing. If I wanted to do that, I would have just made some subtitles and taken over Danielsangeo's job. :P

If I've made any mistakes, do tell and I'll fix it up! I haven't exactly checked through all of this, it's like... 11pm and I want to get this out so.

The last of it is a bit of a mess of questions so it's worth-while watching the first and last 10 minutes of the video. And also, if I missed anything, tell me! :D

Jeb_CC: If you wanted to give me timestamps of the more important topics, I could add that to the Youtube description, I was considering having that anyway, but thought there would be too many entries.

Jeb, you are an absolute boss.

 

I'll make sure I'm prepared for the next chat. All the best until then :)

Agree it will probably be too long for YouTube description... Will also mean that people will have to chose whether they have to scroll down to the description or watch Ross' face :P With a post on a forum they can have both on their screen(s) at once! :D But, the times put into a forum post could be linked directly to the relevant video parts. Then the YouTube description can point to the forum post - a bit of a cross promotion...

 

@Jeb - Oh, wow! You've put a lot of work into this! Thank you!

 

Regards

I think if you go with December 6th Ross, I think I can totally say yes to that since the 5th is my birthday and I know it would be the coolest thing to see right after I have been plastered drunk

“Error 482: Somebody shot the server with a 12-gauge. Please contact your administrator”

“Caution Laser Caution Laser Caution Laser”

“I can now solve up to 800 problems a minute”

That's awesome! Another Freeman's Mind, which will probably take us to the next decade (seeing as HL2 was 1 and two thirds of a game, plus Lost Coast).

 

Adding timestamps to the YouTube description is a very good idea, if you (understandably) don't want to edit the chat into a more concise form. If neither is a possibility, Jeb, who is indeed a boss, has pretty much done all the job needed. Just slap it on the blog post and you have a pretty accessible guide for the video.

 

Sidenote: I have yet to see the video, so I can't really comment on anything. But kick ass, everybody.

Aww... Thank you all. :3

I suppose that a few important time-stamps in the description couldn't hurt... They would just be:

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

But having more than that might clutter it all up. These are just more of the topics that your audience would be interested in hearing about. :3

 

But you could have a link - I don't know if it's simpler to add into the blog post or make a direct link to the forum page - to provide the timestamps for all those who really like to get into the knitty-gritty details, inside the description. :D If that helps some people, Yesss.

 

EDIT: Oh, crap, almost forgot. Everyone thank Danielsangeo too for helping me a little with this. :D

thank you Jeb for this amazing work. I'll post these time-stamps under the video.

I loved Freeman's Mind across the universe, and really hope this is the end result.

 

Wonderful news, I've been missing my full recommended daily allowance of sarcasm .

I think we could have around 20 really (depending on the Youtube limit), I guess go with questions that I spend more time on answering rather than quick simple ones. Also I don't plan on editing these things, sorry guys. For the amount of time it would take (probably just a couple hours, but still), I'd rather just spend that on one of the regular videos.

More you say? :D Sure!

These are the most talkative-heavy topics... the rest are pretty straightforward "yes" or "no" questions. And if people want to get those, they can either just watch the whole video or skim through the mess of a FAQ I made. XP

I might make this FAQ thing a regular thing for future video-chats. As long as it helps a few people, I'll be happy to make more! :D It's also helpful for later on I guess... just make a reminder; "Check this page in case your question has already been answered" sorta thing maybe? Saves a lot of hassle for repetitive questions. But knowing how communities usually are, you'll always get repeated questions no matter what. XD So I dunno.
