Here’s another video that I thought would be something quick to get out, but ended up ballooning into a project that took as much time as a full length Game Dungeon. In any event, I’m pretty happy with how this came out. This easily has some of the most variety of my videos; you can almost think of it as 25 tiny bite-sized Game Dungeon episodes.

This is a “top video” list, but I tried to keep it interesting throughout. I would say more, but I kind of covered all the biggest points I wanted to in the video itself. While I normally like to avoid dated videos, I felt this one was a little different since I cover so many games even if someone looks at it years from now, there’s plenty of good games listed here some might not know about, so it should still have good information for anyone who stumbles upon it. I also feel like this video kind of “exonerates” me from having to talk about new games in the future, since you couldn’t ask for more new game coverage from me than this. If you watch this, you’ll know about as much as I do.

Also this was my first attempt at using a green screen. It’s about as good as I can hope for given my equipment and setup. I actually ended up lowering the resolution of the background a little bit to closer match the picture quality of my camera. I’m still experimenting, but if I have to make another video where I’m standing in front of the camera talking about something, I’ll definitely want to do more game backgrounds like this to make it a little more interesting visually.

Anyway, I’m keeping busy, you can expect another video out this month!

ADHD version: See the new games Ross wants to play the most!

More Game Dungeon! This is another video that took WAY longer to make than I wanted it to. Believe it or not, I was originally hoping to have this video done by late January, so that should give you an idea of how far behind I am on things. The little details in this one had a way of just taking forever to complete, day after day.

This is another game I knew I absolutely wanted to cover for the Game Dungeon. I was hoping to have more a “crowd pleaser” following the Freeman’s Mind traffic and rather than picking a super obscure game, this is one I’m sure plenty of people are familiar with.

I’m hoping to have two more videos out this month, but I doubt they’ll be as involved as this one, though I’ll try and keep everything entertaining to watch. In the meantime, there are still openings for more pixel art help if anyone is interested.

EDIT:
I meant to add that in addition to pixel artists, I’d also be interested in normal artists (or vector art) for more “awards” art for future episodes. I may be pickier about the art style for that however.

This is just a quick update letting people know I’m alive and busy. I was SWARMED with emails after the last video, so if you haven’t heard anything from me yet, there are still a bunch I need to go through. I’m behind on forum posts and Youtube messages also. If I could replicate myself, I could get a lot more done. We would function well as a team.

There are a lot of promising help offers regarding the movie, progress is being made on it, just slowly. Lately I’ve been prioritizing the next Game Dungeon episode. I was hoping to get it out before the end of the month, but I don’t know how realistic that is now. I think it’s going to be between 30-40 minutes total, this one has an awful lot worth talking about. After I’m done with that, expect at least one experimental video to come up and another game dungeon afterwards. If I’m lucky there will be multiple “experiment” videos for March, but I’ll just have to see what I can do. Also while I have received a few offers, there is still room for more pixel-art artists for future video videos for anyone interested (though I’ll want to see an example of your work).

ADHD version: Ross is doing things.

All questions answered (sort of)! In addition to my first Youtube video appearance, this is an update for just about everything I have planned for 2015 and beyond. I was hoping to have this video out about 2 weeks ago, but all the little things ended up taking me a lot longer than I planned. While I tried to add some humor, this video is largely informative more than anything else. I cover so much in this video, I ended up providing bookmark links so you can jump straight to different topics (they’re in the Youtube description). Anyway, I’m making no promises, but I hope to have multiple videos out for next month. I’d say more, but really this video covers just about everything (for now).

ADHD version: See what Ross looks like! Ross is making more videos.

EDIT:
I completely forgot to add that I’m also interested in any offers from pixel-art artists. I’d like to have more variety with the titles for Game Dungeon, so I could potentially showcase more art in the show once I figure out what I’m doing. Go ahead and email me if you’re interested in this.

Behold the final episode of Freeman’s Mind! I think most people will agree it ends on a pretty strong note. This episode ended up being pretty grueling to get done due to all the finale content. I originally meant to have this a day early, but the number of fixes was so massive I’m coming in just under the wire here. This is my own fault, since I tried to squeeze in Game Dungeon episodes also. That’s really the story of Freeman’s Mind: it would have been done a long time ago if I hadn’t been working on other things this whole time.

Freeman’s Mind is complete! The curse has been lifted! Now I can turn back into a human! On that note, sometime in January I plan to make a video appearance and try to answer all the biggest questions people have and lay out all the

plans for Accursed Farms for 2015 and beyond. I’m having a video camera sent to me as a late Christmas present, so I’ll start filming as soon as it arrives. My guess is it could be mid January before it arrives, so you may have to wait until then. I’ve found that video is far more effective at communicating to the entire fanbase than just posting information here (or in the credits, as you’ll find out once you watch the episode). So if you want answers, you’re just going to have to wait until sometime January, sorry.

Right now I’m pretty burned out, I was neglecting just about everything in order to make the episodes in time, so I have a whole bunch I need to catch up on. After I’ve recovered a little bit and dealt with more urgent things, I’ll start updating the website and replying to many emails and donators I’ve gotten lately. I seriously was putting off everything in order to make it to this point. If you’re wondering what the “secret” was to getting so many videos out. It was simply, do NOTHING BUT Freeman’s Mind for MONTHS.

I saw a lot of comments about people feeling saddened that the series is finishing, but I plan on making tons more videos, just not necessarily Freeman’s Mind in the near future. I don’t really have some huge epiphany about the series, to me it’s one project that just seemed to never end. I’m glad I did it, but there’s a whole bunch of other stuff I’d like to do also. There will be many more videos coming for 2015! I just need to go into one of those medical tanks like Luke Skywalker for a while first.
