I've always enjoyed videos that are just someone talking about a rather specific aspect of their interests for a bit (example channels that come to mind include pannenkoek2012, kkclue, PatMac, etc.). I've always wanted to try making a vid like that, so I'm glad I can check it off my bucket list!
That being said, I can't wait to get back to making shorter stuff now that this is finally done ^^; I started collecting data for this vid back in December, which means it took 8-9 months to complete (though actual video production didn't start until the end of February). I remember having so many thoughts about the process during those months, but now that it's time to actually log them here I find myself w/ not much to say, haha
Ironically, I missed a lot of Splatoon 3's sizzle season b/c I was busy working on this. If you'll excuse me I'm gonna go read the patch notes lol
EDIT: NVM I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY NOW I usually write these descriptions before starting the upload process to YT. However, b/c this is my longest vid to date I guess it also marks my first time having to battle w/ the compression YT applies to video files to make them quicker & easier to serve to viewers. I had no prior knowledge of this, so my first .mp4 file unfortunately included a lot of things that the compressor apparently hates.
For example the original backdrop, which can be seen in a community post, was made of many overlapping but similar dark hues, which is something the compressor struggles w/. As a result it turned the backdrop into a blurry mess (main video elements like characters & graphics were still perfectly crisp, though). After numerous failed attempts at optimizing, re-exporting, & re-uploading, I eventually caved & redrew the backdrop to the simpler 'frame' design you see here. At least if it gets blurred, that mess won't be too close to the main material.
Additionally, I think the 'wiggling' effect on the animated characters' lineart & some text was also contributing to the issue. While I like the look it gives, it probably adds a lot of unnecessary information to the video file, since frames have to be updated even when things are technically standing still.
So yeah, next time I ask myself why I don't see many videos that make these stylistic choices, I guess now I know the answer ^^;
I wish I could remember if my previous vids had worse quality before being made public. If this vid's blurriness goes away when it debuts, I guess I'll be happy about it, but probably also a bit miffed since that means I could've used the original file :/
Uwargh I don't wanna end this description on such a downer note. Um, recently I saw someone in a Pokemon raid w/ an Azumarill nicknamed Hopscotch & I thought that was cute ^^

As an actual researcher, I just wanted to say you did a wonderful job on this! It makes me very happy to see someone use more accurate research methods to describe patterns in video games! A few things - I would have preferred a longer explanation on the possibility of bias in your samples based on game modes and rank. You did discuss this a bit, and while I agree the effects (if any) would likely be small, I think explaining this for a lay audience in detail is important. Additionally, while I do not know much about Splatoon's match making methods, I would have liked to see you go in a bit more detail on this. I personally do not think it is completely random, and thus, it would need to be accounted for. Or, at least mentioned in a bit more detail. Finally, as a qualitative researcher, I was happy that you did a bit of content analysis at the end with the youtube comments! This is a good inclusion. However, I would have liked to hear a bit more on your specific methods of analyzing these comments, as qual research does have specific methods for content analysis (despite what some people think). But overall, this was a lovely video, and you made my day! :) I hope you have a good day yourself!

@ToastRoach 8 месяцев назад

The lore behind Octolings really drew me to them ever since the octo expansion days. The way they're a lot quieter and speak English like it's their second language always fascinated me. The subtle details in Splatoon 3 really cement my love for them, like when they jump during shop transitions instead of stumbling like an Inkling really show they're more experienced and focused on a day to day probably due to their history with making it to the surface. Unlike an Inkling who have grown to be more comfortable with their surroundings so they drop their guard more often. This is made more apparent when looking at their weapon animations in Sheldons shop. While an Inkling examines the look of the weapon, possibly examining how "fresh" it looks, an Octoling is seen testing the handling, weight, and scope of the weapon as it's something they prioritized when it was a matter of life and death in the underground.

I chose an octoling for Splatoon 3 because it creates a 1:1 ratio of playable inklings and octolings across the games. Agent 3 is always an inkling, Agent 4 is always an inkling, and Agent 8 is always an octoling. So when given the option to make New Agent 3 an inkling or octoling, I naturally went with the octoling to keep it even.

Agreed, octoling lore immediately gives your character conflict or challenge. Considering we make OCs with trauma, being an Octoling kinda scratches that same itch. How did you leave octarian society? How was it adapting to inkling society, naturally or was it some huge change? Or best of all… we all fell in love with our little agent 8. Their fight was our fight! I hope you continue to enjoy the game and that life treats you well!

@juke37024 8 месяцев назад

I've been an Inkling for the longest time simply because I still remember so badly how I wanted to play as the main boy from Splatoon 1. He shared my characteristics; pale skin and blue eyes. His gear was socially strange from where I was from; the idea of high tops and a layered longsleeve was practically unheard of. Yet it looked so cool. Over time I would modify my look and gear to be more in tune with myself and freedom rather than that initial desire, but to this day I remain feature wise and species wise the same since the first hour as I've always felt a true sense of comfort and "me" in that. When I play a game like splatoon I just want to be a projection of myself, i dont want to be an oc or otherwise. And in the weirdest way of things, choosing inkling as my species along with the other traits is how I embrace that feeling. I feel lucky for that. As for the survey, I whole heartedly expected (and kind of knew) Octolings to be the majority as I am extremely often the only one or one of few Inklings in all modes and teams. This was the case since octo expansion; I feel there is a sense of desire to be more like the Octolings in the splatoon community. That something about them is more special to them even if everyone else is playing as them. Although to me, all of them are special. All of them matter. All of them are cute and deserve love. But, ironically, I feel I see what makes people desire to stand out as an Octoling due to origin appears to me to be something that we all actually have in common. That we are not so different in our struggles, or how we are all minor reflections of our homes. Which leads me to believe that many souls may just identify with the written Octoling upbringing more, and it is just literal in that fact. But, these are all our characters, and it is in our hearts how they were raised. I remember being so, so excited for octo expansion even though I knew I would never switch over. The idea of people being allowed to choose a new species, with new icons and voices and more just made me so excited. I can't explain why but that freedom of co-existence just tickled my fancy so much. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. It reminded me of when you could play as Elites and Spartans in halo multiplayer. I had no plans to switch over. But introduction of Octolings brought me so much joy. This survey was really freaking cool. Thank you for taking the time to answer a very interesting question I believe we all have had at the back of our minds. The graphics were super cute, the video was perfectly paced and engaging, and funny, and the neutral viewpoint (focused solely on results) with minor analysis actually made me cry a little because in these trying times we need a little more positivity, inclusivity, security and ingenuity.

@inklinggirl7754 8 месяцев назад

I think the fact that people generally find octolings are cuter than inklings, is due to their designs being "rounder" that those of inklings. With their pointy ears and straight tentacles, inklings have a lot of triangles in their designs and are therefore perceived as more dynamic, sharper, more energetic (maybe explaining their chaotic temper ?). In opposition, octoling have rounder ears, wavier tentacles, and therefore have more curves, (they are mainly composed of circles) thus why they have this "friend shaped" vibe going on, that probably makes them more compelling to people. Bonus : We even find this pattern in real life : the suckers of octopuses are smooth, while squids' suckers got little teeth or hooks in them, to help them grip better. Maybe that's the real reason as to why inklings won the war ?

@crafted_myth2392 8 месяцев назад

Also! This shape language applies to their fingers and eye shape! Inklings' finger tips are shaped like boxes, while Octolings have rounder tips (at least in the official art). The former also has more narrowed eyes than the latter, doubled down by the face mask making their eyes seem smaller. Octoling eyes are bigger and more rounded than an Inkling's by default (for player characters), and a lack of black over their nose also adds to the illusion of more of an eye size difference. (Well, it isn't an illusion per se, but it does reinforce the idea to the viewer.) There's also the fact that for Octolings, the mass of their tentacles is mainly towards their scalp and gets thinner as it moves down, emulating how human hair works. An Inkling's tentacle mass is usually at the end of their hair, and that's the opposite of how human hair works, so they feel less human adjacent.

@@enderwolf1496 It was even easier in 2 where they'd save your inkling and octoling characters separately and you could switch between them easily (probably so you could access story mode (squid exclusive) and octo expansion (octo exclusive) at will). It's definitely more tedious in 3 where you need to go into options and go through the interactive cutscene if you want to change species (probably because the player character in 3 is supposed to be one character instead of 2's inkling & octoling duo). And if you didn't know yet, changing pants, hair, and eyebrows within the same species can be done from the equip screen in the "other" tab. Why they don't let you edit species, gender, and eye color from there is a mystery to me - hopefully they'll add it in an update some day for the people who like to swap between. Until then I believe you can quick swap species with amiibo.

I’m an octopus player and always have been since dlc dropped. It’s for lore reasons, as a person of color a large part of octoling lore deeply resonated with my experiences growing up in an underprivileged area, even as I was watching the announcement trailer for the dlc, I was homeless. I was always daydreaming, drawing, or looking to the sky beyond where I was, and agent 8 was the same

i honestly was surprised of how many inklings there were, i assumed that the number of people using octolings would have been even larger than the presented results, im happy to see that both are generally being represented close to the same amount, i played through all the games and i have stuck to the default inkling girl style every time, the style really gives me nostalgia, and i like to think that im using the same being through every game, like watching a character in a movie series progress through their story in each movie, dont get me wrong, i enjoyed playing the octo expansion and loved playing as an octoling, i have just grown really attached to the inkling, genuinely enjoyed this video, keep up the amazing work!

In my head, they’re a team of four with their own favourite fashion, brands, play styles, and everything. I even decorated my locker to include all of their main weapons 🦑💙🐙

@swidr5626 8 месяцев назад

I have 5 OC's personally! 2 of them are Octolings and 3 of them are Inklings (Well 2 are 100% Inklings and 1 of is like an inktoling fusion but since the game doesn't have that he's an inkling as well). And if someone is into source filmmaker posters and animation making like I am then I know for sure they have an army of their own oc's to play from both species

@swidr5626 8 месяцев назад

And just like in your case all of them coexist with each other and are close friends. I think the very cool thing about splatoon is how much you can add up to it yourself if you want to. And in splat 2 and 3 they can even (sorta) even be together and interract with each other within the game through photo mode

The main reason I play as an octoling is actually the eye pattern. The cat eye appearance of the octoling's eyes help give it a slightly more feminine look compared to the inkling's mask, and helps me look more on the feminine side regardless of what gear I have on. Also I prefer the more soft-spoken sound of the octoling's voice compared to the very high energy sound of the inkling's

the vibe and lore is actually the reason why i mainly play as an inkling (tho i do occasionally switch to an octoling and would probably do it more if i was better with backline weapons because that's what my octo would use) i just love that they're chaotic goofy idiots and their entire design really sells that too. somehow playing as an inkling really does help me have a bit more fun and not take it as seriously since i'm just here to goof around in a silly little game and not to become a hardcore pro gamer or anything. also i have adhd and relate immensely to them, i too would lose even a literal war because of oversleeping.

I mean I look more like an octoling, I sound more like an octoling, hell I probably act more like one depending on the day.

@FuzzyMH 9 месяцев назад

Goodness I absolutely loved this video! You did such a good job making it!! As for my choice whether I play as an Inkling or Octoling, a good majority of my reasoning actually comes from the irl species of Squids and Octopi.

Before I give my irrelevant POV of the situation, I just want to say that your editing, drawings, and occasional humor made this a very enjoyable video to watch. Genuinely laughed out loud when that Clam Blitz Inkling busted through the wall. Overall the video was so clean and well put together that I was surprised to see that you weren't at least in the 100k range for subscribers! You make some great stuff man! I had an "I FREAKIN' KNEW IT" moment as soon as all those results came in. I'm a long-time player, been playing since Splatoon 1 and rarely ever even used the Octoling despite owning the expansion in Splatoon 2. Hell, haven't used it once in 3 so far either. The reason? Very similar to what you explained in the video, a form of pretty much patriotic pride and comfort gained by being an Inkling all these years. I always had a feeling that there were more Octolings than Inklings in Splatoon 3 but, even though the results aren't 100% accurate, you gave me the nice solid confirmation I've been looking for. It's pretty weird and actually sorta interesting seeing the franchise's face get outnumbered by the other. Makes you wonder what exactly started that shift and how long it took to get to that current majority.

@Wei_Radula_Regiment 8 месяцев назад

Haha, I resonate with what you said a lot! Actually, everything you said; not just about which character to choose, but also praising this video creator on the methodology, attention to detail and presentation. I love Splatoon 1. I don't like Splatoon 1; I _love_ Splatoon 1 and feel compelled to fly its flag whenever I can. My Splatoon 3 character is an Inkling, but also specifically with an appearance that could be made in Splatoon 1's options (hairstyle, eye color, skin complexion), other than her skirt; I just fancy that skirt. I first played Splatoon 3 in the Zelda Splatfest; my first game on the Nintendo Switch, so I had the chance to snag the DLC by then and equipped the Squid Sisters Banner. When I got the Reppin' Inkopolis Emote, I set my victory animation to that and when I got the elements to make the "Calamari Inkantation" Title, I set my Title to that. I feel compelled to keep things this way, despite actually thinking Octolings have cuter faces (particularly their eyes and ears) and prettier hairstyles and wanting to use other Emotes, such as MVPleased and Victory Twist. I'm thinking I'll only try out others once I've collecting my most desired Title and Emote. My Splatoon 3 Locker is also kind of a personal tribute to Splatoon 1, with almost all of the pieces of Gear there due to them being some of my best Gear in Splatoon 1. I do have one pair of boots from Splatoon 3, though due to them being too pretty to exclude and working hard to get ny desired Main Ability on it. My Locker has about thirteen of my around seventeen weapons that I main'ed in Splatoon 1. I am actually going the route of an original character, though. My Splatoon 3 character is from the Splatlands, but has heard of the original Agent 3 and idolizes her and her legend of having taken down an army by herself. As such, my Splantlandian is a bit of a fan of the Squidbeak Splatoon and fills her locker with photographs, stickers and other memorabilia of them/the Squid Sisters. Her looking similar to the original Agent 3 also factors into the characterization. I've been in plenty of Splatoon 3 matches in which I'm only one of two Inklings among an Octoling queue. I remember one funny instance of feeling indignant when the Octoling to my Inkling's left and the Octoling to that Octoling's left fist bumped, with my three-gold Medal-earning self standing right next to them on the same stance elevation. I joking muttered to myself, "It's 'cause I'm an Inkling, isn't it? Racist..." (I'm pretty confident that in reality, gold Medals aren't equal in one tier and mine must not have been appraised as highly as theirs. I'm confident that there have been times when I'd have earned more than three gold Medals in one match, but of course, it only showed three, leaving out at least one that I should have gotten, based on looking at my end-of-match stats.) There's someone else in this Comments section that also wondered if Splatoon 1 veterans might lean more towards Inklings due to the history and hypothesized that higher Ranks could have more Inklings. However, both that person and myself, who also thought of this independently, dismissed that as unlikely. I know it's only anecdotal evidence and a very small sample size, but the few competitive Splatoon players I'm familiar with mostly choose Octolings at least as often, if not more than Inklings.

@Wei_Radula_Regiment 6 месяцев назад

I have returned to report that my first and, so far, only "100x Battle" win was with a team of randos who were all Inklings. We got the title "Squid Society".

I started out as an Octoling because that’s what I was in Splatoon 2 (Agent 8 did not suffer through all of that to then not get to dress up and play turf war), but I noticed there were always slightly more Octolings in my matches, so I switched to make it closer to 50/50

Enjoyed the fact that the math was properly represented and the fact that the sample bias was acknowledged. It's making me wonder if there's a chance that Inklings might be hiding in higher ranks because they're more likely to be veterans from the first game that decided to stick with their first character. Most probably not. Personally Inkling and it got cemented by the Octo Expansion, because of how cool Agent 3 was, and it was amusing to basically have a cameo appearance of yourself if you've played Splatoon 1.

@StyxTheCephalopod 9 месяцев назад

As someone who's played spoon 3 since launch and only 20 minutes of spoon 2 on a friend's switch, I can actually say the most possible answer from my own undocumented observations. It's the feminine inkling/octoling. Whenever I hear a "booyah" it's usually a feminine voice, and whenever I match with people in battles, there are definitely more feminine squids and octos. My theory is that this is due to the masculine inkling and octoling voices sounding kinda weird and unnatural.. especially the masculine octoling.
