This video ended up being audio only. I had worked so hard on the audio edit that I realized that this might just be something that was worth turning the lights off and listening to, rather than staring at game footage. Regardless there will be more stuff coming out later this month and february! Hope you enjoy!

Another fantastic piece! I never stopped to think about melancholy in gaming and really enjoyed this. Also learned about some games I have yet to play. Dope

You should seriously have blown up by now...been hooked since I watched your StarCraft video. Always supporting, keep going! (I've yet to see your channel update video, by the way. So if I said something which isn't relevant anymore, excuse me!)

Thanks for the support! Currently on a semi-hiatus while I get my new podcast sorted. It’s called PixelLit. However once we reach a level of automaticity with that then I plan on coming back with new content.

I only listened partway through because of spoilers (good stuff!), but this is a topic I'm pretty passionate about. Melancholy is probably the primary emotion I want to evoke in the games that I make (and stories that I write). "Dark, sad, but with a glimmer of hope" is how I often describe it. Media that has touched me the most often has that quality. When it comes to games, I would mention Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Nier: Automata and Shadow of the Colossus (Death Stranding feels like this as well, but I haven't finished it yet). All of them, in different ways, have this beautiful sadness about them that makes the whole experience more powerful. I'm a new subscriber, by the way. Keep doing what you're doing, this is really great content! :)

I love this video so much. It's so in-depth and it seems like a lot of effort was put into this. Sadly so few people have seen this. They don't know what they're missing I guess.

Thank you so much!

Really interesting to listen to. Could've used some video footage though. The option to listen to it as a podcast is always there by just not watching the screen.

Of course, I could have taken another month or so to release it and put everything else on hold, haha. I wanted to get this out to move some other projects up.

FFX always makes me cry and Gris makes me dream. Something I can’t explain.

..there is a joy in allowing my emotions to flow though me! (*listening to Tool over and over again)

Sadness within video game stories is much easier to achieve. Melancholy is such a hard emotion to transfer from any media. Death Stranding would have been another fantastic case study. Well timed! Love this piece!
