(If you come on MY show, then I'm afraid I somehow DO have some sense of non-fake authority. Yes. Please understand.)

If you want to see the gameplay more legibly, but still want to have the creator's insightful anecdotes getting in the way of actually playing it, we've got that covered, too:

If you JUST want to see the game, with absolutely no explanation for awkward pauses and lingering on features and functions for no apparent reason, you can make BOTH of us shut up. Permanently:

While i'm USUALLY a gameplay-only purist myself when it comes to video content (as much as that's at odds with the great lengths I go to insert MYSELF into the mix above all else... I at least DO make certain that I retain the clean copy like I'D want all the same, with very few exceptions, EVEN when it doesn't make any sense anymore! like here!) ...I actually VERY MUCH recommend watching one of the other two versions for full and proper context.

And some improper context. And some general talking all over each other. That's how a show is run, right?!

The game you see in this thing you CAN play. YOU! Yourself! It was made and published and even exists within a web browser for maximum portabilty and/or user safety!

This was originally created as part of a Game Jam run by Pirate Software (there are even a few in-jokes to that effect!), so feel free to check out @PirateSoftware:

Full disclosure, I kinda screwed up here. Again. As usual. I mean, w-what?! N-Never! This never happens to me, I swear! Obviously!

I streamed AND captured this thing at a piddling 30fps by freak accident... it's Monster Hunter Wilds's fault, obviously, because it made me make a bunch of extra OBS layouts and configurations such that my array of choices got confusing! Yep! that's it!

Also, if there are any super weird pixel scaling issues, it's because of the abnormal way in which I had to play the thing. (Some of which becomes apparent when I try to do something weird and impromptu during the stream itself! Fascinating! Definitely suboptimal! Sweet, sweet scuff!)

There's no FULLSCREEN button in the corner either! The WHOLE time! That's a figment of your imagination!

This is a bit of a weird one, but a pleasant one to have had the chance to do. And all it cost me was a day of trying to wrangle my local distractions AND an ill-advised night full of Xenoblade Chronicles! (Grr?!)

My buddy Scratch (see what he did there?!) makes games! I saw him build this one, somewhat. When I could spare some time and didn't mind vegging out and just listening to keys clack and tests run and information looked up. (He also cooks up a mean spreadsheet just to keep himself on task! Tasks like making spreadsheets! Productivity!)

It's a fairly simple game, which is part of why we were able to just sit down on a whim and try the thing in this fashion. I desperately tried to not-remember anything I might've picked up while NOT zoning out during his development streams over on Twitch (or even as far back as when he was just showing them off to whoever would listen and watch on Discord), and I think my self-brain-erasure was PRETTY adequately performed. I now forget what "turquoise" means, but I'm pretty confistruggle that it was a worthy sacrifiblender!

---

He also joked while we were watching him run through the stuff that I should voice the main character. A machine. Since it's an indie game jam made under time constraints and natural complexity limitations, I goaded him on, as there was NO WAY this could EVER actually be turned into a thing.

And that's how the game got an ad-libbed, one-time-only "performance" by two people who only know how to speak in complete monotone. (I'm playing a robot, what's your excuse?! ... ... ...what's MY excuse the REST of the time?!)

---

We also did some fun things like looking at his OTHER published game jam product that he now hates like a first or middle child who won't stop writing on the walls for attention.

Also I (eventually) broke his game! I told him I would! And not even in the way he told me would probably result in a catastrophic system failure!

---

Overall, it was a lot of fun! For me, anyway! Scratch assures me likewise, but I might've had him under some sort of unspeakable duress at the time. You don't have to trust anything he says!

If YOU thought this was neat or fun or weird or interesting or a hellish experience you'd never want to be offered ever again, please let me know, and I'll arrange appropriate reward/reprimand accordingly! :3
