Trinket Milestone 3

The dungeon’s popularity is plummeting! Only the Slime can make it fun again. Lots of magic sodas are needed to get the job done.

Had a ton of fun researching gameplay since May. At the time when we were planning it, the goal of this video was to showcase some gameplay elements I had in mind, weaved together to demonstrate the tone promise of the game. No one could plan these ‘ideas’ on paper. I had to make it real. And now you know.

It was intended to be in much shorter forms. Unsurprisingly, I feature creeped it into a different dimension, and my movie-maker persona also co-took the wheel. Very proud of the small story in the end.

This is not the most promotion-efficient format but I have an artistic responsibility to do whatever I like 🙂 Numbers are terrible on twitter rn (v.s. the effort), but getting a million views on bilibili for its more content-friendly algorithm. Feels fitting.

Edit: It had been a slow climb, but this video turned out to be one of my most recognized piece. It became All-site Hottest Top 1 and Weekly Rank Top 1 video on BiliBili, putting me at 90k followers. It also kickstarted my Youtube channel ( +20k subs in a month and I only had 10k to begin with). It’s sad that twitter is indeed in a dying state. It was the only platform I felt comfortable chatting about the more technical side (besides discord). The cycle of stuff dying. What can you do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Felt the post was written for someone like me without explicitly addressing me, and a look at darechip produced the same fit, when content lands on its target without pandering you know the writer has done careful audience thinking rather than relying on demographic targeting or interest signals to do the work of editorial decisions.

    Now thinking about this site as a small example of what good independent writing looks like, and a stop at dewcarve continued that exemplary status, the few sites that serve as good examples are sites worth holding up in conversations about quality and this one has earned that exemplary placement through patient consistent effort over time.

    Worth pointing out that the post avoided the temptation to summarise everything at the end, and a look at dewchip continued that confident closing approach, content that trusts readers to retain the substance without being reminded of it at the end is content that respects the reader and this site practices that respect.

    Started reading and ended an hour later without realising the time had passed, and a look at jalaxis produced the same time dilation effect, when content makes time feel different the writer has achieved something well beyond the average and this site is producing that experience for me reliably across multiple readings.

    Better than most of the writing I have come across on this topic recently, simpler and more direct, and a look at lakepeach continued in that same way, a real outlier in a crowded space full of repetitive content that says little while taking up a lot of reader time today which is unfortunate.

    Came back to this twice now in the same week which is unusual for me, and a look at lushmarble suggested I will keep coming back, the kind of post that earns repeated visits rather than one and done reading is the gold standard for content quality and this site clearly hit that standard.

    Stands out for actually being useful instead of just being long, and a look at macrolush kept that going, length without value is the default mode of most blogs these days but this site has clearly chosen a different path which I respect a lot as a reader who values careful editing decisions like that.

    Got something practical out of this that I can apply later this week, and a stop at unitybondcollective added more details to think about, this is exactly the kind of content I bookmark for future reference rather than the throwaway listicles that dominate most search results these days for almost any common topic.
