Oh, the failure: Episode 2 of the Episode Smile LP is uploading and will probably be done by the time anyone sees this.

By all means go ahead if you wish, the more tutorials the better. I recommend Open Broadcaster Software for recording Abiathar, it works well with my use of the GDI+. My series will probably stick to the "X does Y, V changed in version W, Z is important, let's move on", so I suppose it'd be good to see somebody actually using the program.

Side note: when you update the Keen Galaxy Modding Package to include Abiathar, you might want to just put in the updater and a readme; I plan to update Abiathar with moderate frequency.

@ 12:10 "Don't hit the spikes" That's what I love about Keen and in particular mods such as smile. There is absolutely zero chance of you hitting the spikes if you just jump up to the exit. But so much is at stake after what you've gone through to get there that the player naturally overthinks the jump! Great let's play, Fleexy.

And another Abiathar video! In Episode 3, I cover v1.3's new features and the change v1.3.1 made to the Tile Instance Locator. I also discover a bug which has been fixed now in v1.3.2.

I recorded more Smile, but the commentary wasn't particularly good and I had mangled the audio settings, so I won't be uploading that (it'll be re-recorded at some point in the future). Also, I've been hired by my government to do some software development work, so yeah, priorities. Expect a slowdown in Abiathar development and video output. :|

Traitorus wretch.


Is there any feature to output a level as an image? Might help with wiki-ing up stuff.

Alright, long weekend means time for video recording! Just today I recorded three amazing Smile videos, the first of which I release today:

Episode 3: Alternating Arrows of Death

Hey everybody! While I was testing Abiathar on Bio Menace, I figured it would be fun to play. As I had never played it in earnest, it seemed like a great opportunity for a first-impressions LP! So, here we go:

That was the most honest-to-goodness first-impressions LP I ever done seen.

Haha, thanks! As I have done for previous series, I will continue to place links of new episodes in the original post and only do a post at the end if there have been posts in between. I actually uploaded this episode quite early yesterday, but YouTube got stuck processing it for hours. :(

Anyway, enjoy Episode 2 and subscribe to make sure you never miss a video!

EDIT: We have episode 3 up as well! Episode 3: Crushed

Wow, that WAS first impression. I'm not even sure you've played Keen now!

Abiathar is really some kick-ass stuff. Thanks to your video-tutorials I'm motivated doing some modding things again. This beautiful tool of yours helps a lot. and by the way: it's so much fun, too.

...eight...

...years...

...later...

I'm very excited to revive this series by playing Foray in the Forest! The new playlist currently contains just one video - I wanted to at least record one today to celebrate the release. The hope is to release one episode every two days; we shall see how this plan interacts with Real Life.

Congratulations to Nisaba & the team on the big release! :christmas
