ASKA ALONE: Villager-Free Playthrough. Episode 2

Welcome to ASKA ALONE, a villager-free playthrough.
We had a strong first week but the clock is ticking fast towards the day 18 bear event. Will we be ready in time - and will we survive it alone?

Kudos for working the bloomery solo- I couldn’t do it lol. I usually put two workers on it 😂

[@Ser_Bucky]

Thanks! It gets easier with skill. Considering the constant rush I seem to be in it's sometimes nice to be forced to sit down for 30 seconds lol!

[@jgischer]

I have been able to keep the day 18 bear from doing any real damage by shooting him with the starter bow and getting him to chase me instead of munching on stuff. I don't think it's possible to kill him with that gear. But with the iron rush you did, it was!

[@Ser_Bucky]

I was so surprised by how much damage the longbow did - and those were bone arrows in the video! I left my iron ones in the workshop lol.

Day 18? I started a new seed last night and RAN INTO the bear in the middle of the night on day 1. Had to run through some thick trees to get to safety. He's still nearby, as things other than myself still aggro it. I think it's chasing every smolkr on the island my way, as well

@@Bayle_Bune Yeah I saw one on my first day to in the vid, hanging about the Jotun Giant circle lol. Never knew there were free-roaming ones, but there is a scripted one after a few weeks.

Great video and series, most enjoyable; my only critique is that your audio needs equalisation, (speech vs music). It's pretty annoying having to constantly adjust the volume control, cheers.

[@Ser_Bucky]

Hey, thanks. This is an important critique for me to work on because I am deaf in my right ear and I find it really hard to tell if my voice/music levels are too high/low during editing. In the finale episode I tried normalizing all dialogue to a KZbin preset (I use Da Vinci Resolve). Definitely for eps 1-3 the audio is wonky since I didn't know that function existed for those. I'd be interested to hear if this is an issue on my next series now that I use the normalization function. Thanks again for the feedback though, appreciate you watching and offering good criticism.

@@Ser_Bucky Your last episode of this series was much better!

[@Ser_Bucky]

@@at6776 Great to know. Thank you!!!

[@randoir1863]

with the way you were leveling your bow skills as you went along , I was pretty sure you would slay the bear . How far do you plan on going with this play thru ? What seed are you playing on and did you want a seaside seed at all? If anyone stumbles across this video and wants a seaside mine seed , leave a comment and I'll post the seed .

[@Ser_Bucky]

Hey, I have the next two episodes planned but they take AGES to edit lol. I'll keep going for a while though, probably just with bigger and bigger time jumps. The seed is Aska Alone. I'd love a good seaside seed, I'd be down to do a seaside series at some point since most of what I play and see is inland.
