Absolutely adore ur content. This was incredibly well put together.

[@josephkitchenfriednoodles]

Thank you, that is very much appreciated.

[@帰ってきた藤井聡太]

You're truly a genius.

[@AerobianAngel]

Always looking forward to seeing your side-stories.

[@rjac1989]

Truly wonderful work guys. The conversation between Megumi and Fuk-san was incredibly well put together. Beautiful music as always and some fantastic angles of Yamanose and Sakuragaoka. The fireworks were a stunning touch also. Roll on June 17th! ☺️

[@andrek.y.7472]

It was technically impressive and also a cute side story! I hope a “making of” will come.

[@josephkitchenfriednoodles]

Thank you Andre. It looks like a lot a people are curious about how it was done so I will probably do a "making of" or just do a step by step for one on the video scenes.

[@terrytsoi1986]

Impressive teaser. Looking forward to the full version!

I cannot express enough how much I adore your videos. I watch them every single day and have been since discovering your channel a few months back. You really do breathe new life into my favourite gaming series and it's so great seeing my favourite characters have their own little side stories that are explored in ways the original games merely suggested but never actually shown. You even put Kurita-San and Yuriko-San together. No one ever notices these little details but you, I love it! One of your oldest videos, Haru Hirata Theme is still my personal favourite, along with Shinkichi Noda. I have them both on my phone and watch them almost every day during my work lunch breaks to de-stress. They help me drift to sleep when I just need 30 minutes to myself so they're really essential to me. Your other stuff is great but those two videos in particular are the ones I watch daily. It's a shame you get so little views for all your effort. Hopefully things will pick up. Keep at it!

[@josephkitchenfriednoodles]

Thank you! It's interesting that you like the original videos because technically, there isn't' much to them. However, they are more relaxing and done at a slower pace than the more recent videos. I know you mentioned before ASMR. I think it would be a good idea to take some of the environments from the Megumi video, like the dojo pond, and just loop it for an hour. Or, dojo pond morning, noon, evening, and night cycle for an hour.

[@TheCrimsonEmo]

@@josephkitchenfriednoodles I think because the story is told purely through music rather than dialogue that it creates a mellow, almost dream-like atmosphere where you're being taken on a journey with said character but at a more chill, relaxed pace if that means anything. You're being given an insight into the lives of the people who live in Dobuita but it's all shown through music and it gives you a chance to just absorb it all and mellow out to it. I don't really know how better else to explain it really.

Omg, shenmue

[@sukoshikanatomo]

WHOA! This is cool!

[@josephkitchenfriednoodles]

hah, that's a Shenmue fan comment if I've seen one 😍

[@samsungphone1326]

Great work, please keep these videos coming❤❤❤ Are these repurposed voices?

[@josephkitchenfriednoodles]

Thanks! The voices in this video are re-used dialogue from the game, spliced together and some inflection added through autotuning.

[@dotsona07]

Amazing! You guys are so talented!!! Where can we download the music? The band camp link you posted on your KZbin page doesn't work.

[@josephkitchenfriednoodles]

Just updated the link in the banner. I switched all of them to mediafire. 60 songs in total!

[@dotsona07]

@@josephkitchenfriednoodlesAwesome!! Thanks!!!

[@Kazuma532]

Good job

[@delvec1912]

Love the video as always! But why is Abe selling fireworks to little Megumi?! haha

[@josephkitchenfriednoodles]

I'll have to change the story before release. She breaks in and takes it, hah.

Fantastic work as always! Looking forward to the full video. Just out of curiosity, what do you use for making these videos, Unreal Engine?

[@josephkitchenfriednoodles]

Microsoft Paint 😉

[@josephkitchenfriednoodles]

Blender mostly. Lemonhaze introduced me to the possibilities of Unreal for future ideas but I know virtually nothing compared to him. Definitely in the future though!

@@josephkitchenfriednoodles Ahh ok :)

[@Dhaos620]

Nice

[@lordcanti]

Absolutely amazing video!

[@josephkitchenfriednoodles]

❤

[@michaelc5217]

I am really impressed! Did you use the original animation of the game or did you improve them with modern tool?

[@josephkitchenfriednoodles]

Thank you. The animations are mostly new using rigify

[@renners4367]

😂😂 that’s class

[@kiryukiwami98]

In wich sofware did you do the render?

[@josephkitchenfriednoodles]

Blender mostly. I'm studying Unreal but I haven't used it yet because the quality of my work in Unreal isn't as good as my Blender work. But, it will make things easier in the future!

[@kiryukiwami98]

​@@josephkitchenfriednoodles ok nice :) I have just discover your channel and I ll happely see the other video :) Great job :)

[@chancethrash]

Did you make the tracks?

[@josephkitchenfriednoodles]

My brother George Kitchen wrote the music

[@chancethrash]

@Joseph Kitchen Fried Noodles he's super talented please let him know me and a friend have discussions over how well his music captures the shenmue experience

[@1georgekitchen]

@@chancethrash Thank you, Chance. These types of comments mean more to me than you know. There is more to the story that I can't talk about... Hopefully one day. Sorry for the ambiguous statement.

[@samsungphone1326]

Yeah, he does a great job with the music The instruments sound like it's straight out the game

[@dandehond1872]

I ❤ U
