Alive - Chapter 1 "No return" (1/2) | Space Engineers | Facing the pirate fortress

[@zeroh62]

this vidio makes me wish i knew a good SE RP server. Great work

[@Krat3nPlayer]

I love the camera work! It gives that movie-like feel, I can't wait for the second part, great job! also 25:47 that's going to hurt tomorrow lmao

[@overmind3922]

Haha, thanks man, seriously. And yes, camera work were a habit that I carried over from Kerbal Space Program and I was able to recreate with spectator mode here. And the replay tool is simply wonderful. In this chapter I was still exploring them, I hope to be able to exploit them much more in part two 😃

[@overmind3922]

Guys, a couple of details I forgot to put in the description. I know it feels like it was left a bit half-finished. This was supposed to be a single one-hour chapter, but besides being too long it would have taken me too long without uploading a video so I split it into two 30-minute fragments. About the cover I'll just say... Be patient, just a little 😁

[@jonathanbair523]

First time viewer... Loved the story so far, can not wait to see part 2!

[@Soul.food.]

this is an interesting framing of the essential Space Engineers: survival, pirates, revenge, isolation, AI, reconaissance, daring. A story well told! I've tried making a few stories also, and I know how much time & effort it can take!

[@overmind3922]

Yes, it is a real challenge. Recording the second part is taking me much longer than I expected, and this is just an introduction to the plot. After the end of this chapter, the real story begins.

[@Soul.food.]

​@@overmind3922 I look forward to that! I had a simple idea for a light-hearted story, an astronaut crashed on a planet who is bombarded with those 'unknown signal' pods, one after the other, and finds that they're all next to useless, and crazy stuff happens. But then I thought, 'so how did he get there?' and felt compelled to create 2 intro videos to explain that! Now, many months later, i've finally finished part 3!

[@overmind3922]

@@Soul.food. Wow, I took a look at your channel and thought you were inactive. The last video in the main section was a year ago, youtube really is inefficient sometimes. I'll go check them out. Regarding my story, I don't want to comment too much since any hint will be a complete spoiler haha, plus it's too early for plot twists. But I will just say that the end of chapter 1 will have a radical change in the dynamic with which it started. This expanded universe is something I've been thinking about since I was making videos in Kerbal Space Program. Now that I discovered Space Engineers, I created this narrative arc within that universe, in the second chapter it will be clearer.

[@pembrokeisland9954]

That was really good! Excellent scripting, directing and editing, too! Nice.

[@TexasSpartan099]

Well done bud. I enjoyed this video alot! Can't wait to see the rest of the story all together

[@sm-lk2xz]

Great work, you captured the atmosphere of your story spectacularly.

[@gamerelite3989]

nice RP episode there :D im pretty sure when new update drops you will have a bunch more materials to make new episodes in the future keep it up was a nice refresh to watch :)

[@overmind3922]

Thank you. But I must confess, updates will not be that relevant to this story. This first chapter is an introduction to an expanded universe I imagined a long time ago, and most of the things I need are already in the game.. The real challenge lies in projecting it properly into the game 🙂

[@jonnyb6570]

THIS GOOD! MUY BUENO!

[@РусланДальнобойщик]

I do love such performance of space engineers....like story,very well done...I would love to see it more

[@ShaneRogers-vx7su]

Good work and im interested to see where this story goes, i quite like how it's going so far so do your best

[@sergeymuzychuk3708]

Well done, and keep it going.

[@Dagonius.]

Great work!

[@fredpryde8555]

this is awesome look forward to more

[@OMG.HopsGnue]

Something different, nice to see. Watched and Liked 👍

[@shaunholcomb2627]

Really enjoy it.

[@Airman297]

well done. keep it up

[@atreyos9449]

this is awesome

[@shadenphoenix]

really good and interesting! if only we could 'correct'/ train AI voices to do a better and more realistic job. now im hooked and want to see the rest! 😍🥰

[@overmind3922]

I'm glad you like it. Yes, the AIs are still pretty basic unfortunately, but I don't have better options at my disposal right now 😅. I hope to upload the next chapter in the next few weeks. I'm recording it with much more care than this one.

[@shadenphoenix]

@@overmind3922 I guarantee you, if you asked on your comments area, if people wanted to donate their voices for the script, you could get enough people to volunteer to be part of the story and do the voices for you! 😃🤔😋😘

[@shadenphoenix]

I am 100% sure there are fans on here willing to donate their voices so you have real people helping sell it! If you have a discord or something, you could gather people and their skills to make it a community project. I'd love to help myself! I hope you will consider it, honestly. Could be even cooler than it is already 😍.

[@overmind3922]

@@shadenphoenixThanks for the support, yes I am considering opening a discord although I haven't done it yet, I was waiting for the project to grow a bit more for this, it's my first video with such a scope. As for the voices... The truth is that it would be somewhat complicated because of the way I record and edit the scenes. I have tried it before when I tried to do this in Kerbal Space Program, but circumstances tended to change and I could no longer count on the same people. In addition to the fact that it would require constant corrections and a very high availability of time, so collaborating with more people, at least at this moment, would be quite complicated for me. But if the project grows enough, I might try again later.

[@shadenphoenix]

@@overmind3922 I completely understand. Consider after everything is done and the editing and the Video is finished then allow others to send in their voice clips so that you can overlay them with a new audio like this first one people could volunteer their voices for the parts that are already done in the style that is already done so all you have to do is record them together into a new sound file to overlay with it, then you can have the original and the fan enhanced version. I wouldn't worry too much about consistency in the voices, especially if the main ones are you. The rest of them are short-term or one-time voices, like the bad guys who died. Anybody can fill those voices anytime. 😃

[@GabyPCgeeK]

Good Episode. BTW the English subtitles are actually in Spanish.

[@overmind3922]

Yes, sorry about that, it is a mistake that I still do not know how to solve, my intention is to subtitle them in Spanish, since the audio is already in English, but when I load the subtitle file, it labels it as if the video was in Spanish and the subtitles in English. I still do not understand why this happens.

[@foamyflightmaster9385]

Nice work

[@atreyos9449]

amazing

[@BrokeWrench]

You might want to look into the "deep fake" AI generated voices. They are very close to real voices and would add a lot of polish to the episodes Really enjoyed the story. Ill start watching some others too

[@overmind3922]

Thanks, although most services of this kind are paid, which puts them out of my reach 😅, that's why I use free alternatives for now. If I manage to monetize in the future, I might do it, thanks for commenting 🙂👍

Depending on the situation, both methods are useful. Sometimes it helps to obtain more fluid movements. But thanks anyway 🙂

[@mightymicroworlds4566]

Use your teal voice, or at least a good AI

[@overmind3922]

Dude, I'm Cuban, my English pronunciation is horrible /:-7, and I don't have good recording equipment. Good AIs are paid for and totally out of my reach. I appreciate your honesty, but either I do my best with what I have, or I'll have to leave this story stored in a drawer for years 😔.
