I don't recall a mention of it actually being on the moon, but even if it is, the moon still has night and day. It's tidally locked to the Earth, not to the sun.
I dont think it was ever mentioned in the slighest, from the bot we got that it seems to have duststorms and from the rescue shuttle we got that it was a desert planet
@Jacob White That doesn't work. 1 au (the distance from Earth to Sun) is about 8 light minutes. Mars' orbit is about 1.5 au. This gives a MAXIMUM delay between Earth and Mars of about 20 minutes - way too short. Jupiter orbits at ~5.2 au, which is over 40 minutes and thus too far. Either the devs didn't do the math, the signal is not going to Earth or they have superluminal communications.
If you read the notes or the books scattered about the base, it takes place on a far away planet at the edge of space. Planet AUM-1577 that orbits Alkaphrah, Ursa Major. (AUM) A day on AUM-1577 is just over two hours (2:01:23). At that rotational speed, you would expect it to either be really small and wouldn't have an atmosphere or it would be oval shaped at the equator...
watching this while not looking at the screen was an experience. i wasn't expecting "it's like a little sister dynamic" immediately followed by "woah would you look at the size of that thing"
People now: "We're gonna make Skynet and it's gonna kill us!" Robot of the future: "I'm here to serve." The person that owns the robot: "I would die for you." R: "Please do not."
yeah pretty much every time an ai has done a murder it has either because they have a fault in their programming forced rules or have had bad stuff legitimately done to them so they're in the right even in this situation they got infected with the alien shit and arent in control
@@francegamer ye, some morons think complete domination over another being is more logical, instead of just working together to better both sides. Never mind all the movie examples where the AI fails, because humans just revolting or the AI turning against itself. Ye, let's just enslave a people.
Is it just me... or wouldnt a lab have a purge function? Enough horror movies have been made that youd think it would be a given. "The sample is acting unpredictably". Activate flame throwers
in this case Flame throwers wouldn't of helped. It converted all forms of energy in to mass. A little jolt of xrays caused it to go from a pea to a watermelon sized blob. Cryo freeze would of been the only option but there was no time to figure that out before it breached containment.
@@thomasagra856 Oh hey so that's how the Interloper from Outer Wilds came to be, some assholes sticking their leftover experiments into meteors and\or comets.
also you'd think people would be able to control stuff remotly, so you don't have to walk around the entire station to activate emergency protocol, that's something that you probably should be able to do right away
Honestly this one is such a work of art. For something made in 10 days, lasting 20 minutes, it gets you so incredibly invested and creates an incredibly powerful atmosphere. The whole setting makes sense, the AI companion makes sense, the safety measures of needing to grant permissions to them make sense, it's a believable world you're presented with. The music and colour effects are goddamn on point, too. It's a masterpiece.
It was simple but that was a really good game. And it wasn't her fault, the sample corrupted her. Don't blame the little sister computer. She's innocent. It was that stupid rock alien from the movie Evolution. It's their fault. Never forget, she was on your side till the end, right before the alien took control... You're great at cards. ^-^
IIRC, the moon is something like 8 light seconds away from Earth, so it's more likely to either be an alien planet in some far-off corner of the galaxy or Mars. So you are entirely right.
@@BlackPsionic The moon is about 1.3 light-seconds away, but factoring in something like a "message received" answer we can just use the round-trip time of 2.6 seconds. Mars however varies between ~3 light-minutes and ~22.5 light-minutes, so 27.4 minutes for message round-trip puts this hypothetical planet squarly in mars-distance (assuming they are talking to earth and don't have any FTL-comms)
@@Tnoin Yay! I was right on the second half! Plus I picked Surviving Mars off the humble bundle a few days ago so when the AI mentioned getting back to base before a dust storm my mind immediately went to mars.
@@TekuSPZ I mean, yeah? Do correct me if I'm wrong, but there are no specifically desert moons in the local solar system. You could go overly-specific on the classification on desert (as the arctic circle qualifies as a kind of desert, and thus include any planet with no free-flowing surface water at all. Or something. I dunno, I'm not a geologist - just a guy with surface-level-at-best scientific understanding), but even then you're talking more rocky, barren surfaces instead of dust-and-sand plains.
@@blizzard2508-k7n Its probably intentional, it happens all the time in movies and musical theater because its a piece of symbolism that is really easy to implement and quite obvious to anyone listening
This thing absorbs any kind of energy. So when reactor exploded, that created HUGE amount of energy. Which this thing absorbed and ate the whole planet. It did not matter whether he shut the reactor down or not. It was doomed anyway
Hoo... so that was what had happened. But, if he had'nt shutdown the reactor, the RED thing gonna continuesly absorb the energy... that ai'nt good, is'nt it?
Yeah but, shutting it down was the thing that cause the explosion in the first place. So it didnt matter if he shut it down or not, the planet was doomed anyways.
@@phantomaviator1318 i don't really have answer for that, but i think it was kind of non-active when it was still inside of the meteor. Quarantined/isolated? It started to grow up when the robot tried to scan it with x-ray. Or it just eats radioactive stuff.
7:20 To my knowledge no one has made a simulation game or rpg of if a robot fell in love with you and convinced the world you should lead them. With or without massive consequences, be it a mass uprising, fighting other humans, or fluffy sexy dance time.
It's not an RPG or sim game, but I believe the game Echo has lore that states that their first sentient AI models were not the murder-happy calculating bastards everyone predicted, but in fact became passionate spiritual leaders, urging humanity onto a better path.
The last time I saw someone get emergency powers, we ended up with a galactic empire ruled by a crazed megalomaniac space wizard and his asthmatic cyborg sidekick with a laser sword.
It feels great to see Jolly be treated like this. I'll consider this as a reward for all the stuff he usually goes through. Oookay. The first half was wholesome.
i really like the simplicity of this game, like how you have absolutely no form of protection or usual traits like health/armor/weapons. just you. on a space station. with an unstable AI and a biological "thing" that's breached containment. really good sci-fi survival quasi-horror
making a prediction at 9:00 in the video. i observe that pink is really close to red, i wonder if they will slowly shift the ai to red as a bit of hard to notice foreshadowing of somthing edit: it was a bit less subtle than i predicted.
I might be reading a bit into the story but I thought it was really emotionally impactful. They did an amazing job building characters with what little time they had. I'm a rather tough cookie to crack but the game made me say "Awwww" and shed a tear. I hope it won the tournament!
I kinda wish games like this were continued story wise, I'd honestly wanna see the future aftermath of this games worlds, hear the stories of what happened through other perspectives, hear the BEGINNING through someone elses perspective even.
this game is actually different from any others games with robot. Just because she actually wanted to help and didnt really betrayed you, but did it because of the alien virus thing. Also your gameplay on it is great
This is an awesome example of proper game design. Initially I thought the B&W tone was just a gimmick but the chromatic shift combined with the morphing of the familiar environment - top notch stuff. You can extrapolate some cool techniques from this.
Holy shit that's such a good idea, even in a general sense. It's somewhat used in TV and film, but I haven't really heard of many games with a decoy protagonist Edit:typos
I really love that the main song your video opens with is a reference to the “Dias Ires” or death song. Exposing that death will be prominent in the game
I finally bought Half Life 1 and it’s so much fun. If it wasn’t for your channel I wouldn’t have gotten it but right now I’m really enjoying it and I can’t wait to get into all those terrible cursed mods
This was like a speedrun for the developer to see how quickly they could get you attached to the robot and then use it to upset you lmao Also nice use of the dies irae motif in the music, game
I feel like I've been so ruined by cliche creepypasta evil faces, that I was honestly disappointed when the AI turned evil it didn't have one of those uncanny wide-eyed smiles.
To be fair, I doubt the AI had a creepy smile image. Surprised it had an angry face given how nice it seemed, wonder what you'd need to do to see that face besides infecting it with an eldritch horror of gluttony.
Kinda weird game, but apart from its grimness it seems like a decent one. I liked how they made the extremely single-sided color scheme work real well.
The moon is tidally locked with earth, yes, but not the sun. Also earth->moon communications also aren't delayed by 27 mins. I think you're just on "a" moon, which makes the setting even more desolate imo
I think the saddest part about this isn’t that you die it’s that the ai seems to have had a degree of sentience and genuinely like the player and was trying to help but then was corrupted and made to try to kill them
Hello RU-vid? I would like to actually get notified when Jolly uploads.... But that's too much to ask for, becouse it's too hard to send 1 notification per 3 months.
