I set up a separate channel for all our writing-related doodads!
Link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr0xIeQjN7fegj40Moa77ow

The content kicks off with a "creative hangout" Kunux and I had last night (featuring episodes on "Seeker" in general, protagonist transformations, and worldbuilding - specifically, those 10 base assumptions we posted last week):



Going to upload more episodes later today.
I'm also collecting and playlisting anything writing-related from our other channels (suggestions welcome).

Currently I manage this channel myself; this responsibility can be shared and passed around as needed. Also, the channel's visual elements are basically placeholders for now - input and materials welcome.

Not entirely sure why, but I enjoyed that. Cheers to you both.
BTW, Knux: you're supposed to punch or kick that bag, not stab it. Smile (Looks like it has a few war wounds.)

Stay tuned for more, and spam at will, lol!

Sorry! (Not sorry. Wink )
BTW, that was a 'lovely' analogy about the stages of the editing process. Very...memorable.

Glad you enjoyed it sir =D Was good fun working on this. Just to clarify, the tape on the punchbag acts as target markers, although I've lowered it recently so I need to move the markers again. 
Looking forward to doing more of these, great fun to just have an easy conversation about the work, and since it contributes to our 'visibility', I can't help but wonder why we weren't doing this earlier. Props to Lore for this, great thinking, awesome execution, "Love ya work!" Wink

Third episode up! ED: And fourth. (We recorded a fourth fifth bit but lost some footage there so it'll be a few days until we make up for the missing chunk.)

Anyway -

Four-and-half! (The warm-up bit leading to the episode proper.)



This time we have audio issues. I'm aware of those.

Aaand, to conclude this week - the juiciest, meatiest part of them all: the ten worldbuilding assumptions (these are the same points posted down in 'creation lab' discussed and unpacked)

I've recorded some of the co-op fine-tune editing sessions with Knux over the last week. Eventually (much later, that is), the plan is to make the full spoiler-rich session capture available as special treat; for now, i'm putting together little spoiler-free snippets of these sessions and sprinkling them to youtube and twitter.
Here's one:

Cuttin' in, if I may, re: "standard time" it is possible to have the two things running concurrently, even if Standard Time was only kept by computers and used by colonists and/or spacefarers. For people who were born and lived out their entire lives on a particular planet, Standard Time would have no real meaning and would probably not be understood (the old 'I can't get my head around it' scenario, because thinking in those terms would be unusual or alien). Instead they'd revert to the system that had supplanted ST by default.
Of course, ST itself may not have remained as 60 sec to 1 min, 60 mins to 1 hr, 24 hrs (roughly) to 1 day, and so on. That in itself would have lost all meaning once the first Ark ships had left Earth, even if the first colonists would have been stuck in the circadian rhythm (at least for a while).
That raises a question in itself, though: if, on a given planet, time worked out to, say, 150 secs to the min, 150 mins to the hour, but 30 hours to the day...is it even possible for humans to adapt to that, or would they need to stick to a more Earth-like schedule and framing reference? Because using that model each 'day' on our Planet X would be 75 Earth hours (or 3 days, 3 hours) long.
If they could, it presents issues as well as narrative opportunities where characters struggle to deal with a particular world's norms relative to the ones they're used to.
In any case, Seekers going from one world or star system to another would need some other system rather than relying on the foibles of local time (and what about multiple inhabited worlds within the same system? Planetary time would be different again - and possibly, using the Solar system as a model, at very great variances). Standard Time is a bit cliche-sounding, but then what else to call it? (Not Stardates, that's for sure. Wink )
I guess the hand wave option would 'simply' be to not mention time. At all. Ever. Just stick to 'planetary day/night cycle' or whatever. On stations and the Arks it's a bit easier: they could just stick to the way we're familiar with because true day and night wouldn't exist, but again just hand wave specific timings.

Also: "just fulfilling the beard quota". lol

Yeah, there's tons of under-the-surface and behind-the-scene discussion already going on regarding units and standardization, and for the time being we've actually come up with satisfactory presentation of the matter (putting this discussion in display is less about "oh, we need to figure this thing out still" and more about "here's us showing that we're actively addressing this question").

ED:
do keep notes on possible local (as in: limited to a homeworld and/or a culture) measurement systems, though, who knows when they might come handy.

I'll post another batch of Seeker-snippets tomorrow (unless I forget ... again); meanwhile, we've also had a "proper" writing-corner chat/hangout/podcast/discussion/whatever with Knux, this time in the game environment of "Don't Starve" -
