The Chronicler sees many things. Characters. Places. Worlds. Universes. Chronicler will eventually circle back to Kenshi, but like Waldo before him, he sometimes gets lost travelling the multiverse(s).
Today is once such side track. I have started to use the Plastation App to download photos, and clips of gaming sessions, and then editing them together in iMovie.
Aliens Dark Descent will be my first clip in this format. Expect some more from Helldivers, and Metal Gear Solid 3 Delta. I have other types of posts in mind as well. I am an artist. I do digital, and analogue and use videogames as part of my inspiration. My recent project I call “The Contra Incident”. Aliens Dark Descent will feed into that project.
Dark Descent is a top down real-time tactical squad based game. It took me a minute to realize it was what I would essentially deem a roguelike. This realization is helping me to play. Make me less anxious and more ok with failures.
The game starts with a tutorial upon a spaceship. The clip below is not that. It is the first area that opens after you land on the planet, and perform missions at Dead Hills. There is conspiracy afoot. Danger around every corner. Prepare thee well Space Marines. For Tonight, tonight you dine in hell. After welding the doors shut to make a safe place to perform what is essentially a “short rest” action that is.
The dust settles; the wasteland remembers – Chronicler
