Let's Play is a type of video that showcases a player playing through the game with commentary. There are are quite a few of the LPers out there and I was wondering if anyone would want to do that sort of thing with Transcendence, or if it is a good idea to request an LP of this (latest version 0.99)?

Or maybe we should wait for the 1.0 release?

It would be cool to do it to see how other people play.

In fact, it would be cool if we could record videos ingame - for demonstration purposes or as historical video ingame.

What do you think about the endless stream of spawns ?

What about modding wandering spawns which dont attack the player directly ?

Hi all,


Nice idea, but this would need the game to be adapted to record, or is recording made by the system or a special soft ?

I like the idea. What would be even better would be IC commentary. The player acts like he's the pilot of the ship and reacts to everything in game.

"4225 credits for a laser cannon!? This is a highway robbery (i.e. the price is to big)"

~Starton Eridani, the player wants to replace his recoiless with an omni laser cannon.

"Damnit! I said I was sorry!"

~Starton Eridani, Korolov Shipping dennies docking to player after he accidentally hits the station when chasing an Viking.
Believe me, it's actually hilarious and lightens up the atmosphere. And it also fills in the constant silence of the game which is only interrupted by brief clashes of fighting and such.

Here is me trying to imitate a Let's Play

Here is a failed attempt

I think as Taben said, I might want to have an audio overlay after the video is done.
