The Creatures Hive Video Question 1
The newest feature of Discover Albia was announced last week, and a steady stream of questions has been pouring in ever since! The Creatures Hive is a challenge for me, since I typically chatter on and on about everything in my videos. The majority of questions will be addressed in the order they are received, aside from a few rare occasions where similar questions may be spaced out a bit. I’m very happy to present the very first question in this video series! Hopefully there will be plenty of other videos to cover a wide variety of topics.
Thanks to Dylan for submitting the first question to the Creatures Hive! There were two ways to interpret this question, and I chose the one related to the various features of what I would like to see in a modern Creatures game. Of course, if I was completely incorrect and should have taken this as a question about the actual graphics, I would be happy to create another video to address the question correctly. This started off at around ten minutes, even after I pared it down, but I eventually made it to my goal of under five minutes. Feel free to share any comments or suggestions. There are a bunch of other questions in the queue, so get ready for more Creatures Hives videos soon!
Whoops! I didn’t even realize my question was ambiguous haha! Luckily, your answer was exactly the kind of answer I was looking for. Thanks so much for answering, I think your views on the Creatures series are super cool!
I’m glad I got it right, Dylan! It was a difficult question to keep my answer under five minutes, but that was actually a really good challenge to help me get started. Thanks for asking about this one!
Steve Grand, the creator of the original Creatures, even replied on Twitter about this video! That has to be one awesome way to start up the Creatures Hive!
Wow, that’s so exciting! I’m glad your new series is turning into such a hit, it looks like you worked hard on this.
If I think of any more questions, I’ll be sure to send them in!
Thanks, Dylan! The background image used in the very first part of the video is something I spent a lot of time on, and I think it turned out really neat. Look carefully, and you’ll see a hive in each game’s screenshot! Most of the floors line up, too, making them look like they go together. This is the silly stuff that makes me happy. Ha!
But if anyone has feedback on features like like or don’t like about how this first video went, feel free to share! I try my best to listen to everyone, yet I’m sure there are some things I could improve upon. There will be plenty of other videos in the coming weeks!
On a final note, this video is the first one to feature proper subtitles. I’ve been neglecting those players who use that function, and I’m going to try to retroactively update the old videos so they’re accessible to everyone. The automatically generated YouTube subtitles were horrendous, and even included inappropriate content in a few instances! Yikes! Hopefully I can get things much more accurate by writing the subtitles myself!
