[video] Daria (Me!) Reviews some NES Homebrew Games

NEW - The Incident from Khan Games







I just finished my impressions/review video on the demo for Legends of Owlia. Spoiler alert: I loved it.







And because I'll keep this thread updated with other reviews, here's my take on Swords & Runes.

    Yeah, looking forward to the next one.
  • Thank you for taking the time to do this. It will be great for the community! And I agree, Legends of Owlia is amazing! Can't wait for the full version.
  • do the incident next! pre-release copy! all the things are amazing about this!

    great idea.
  • There's a pretty annoying hum in the audio (maybe air conditioning?) in the Owlia video, not present in the Swords & Runes video. It would be good to eliminate that in future videos. Other than that, good work, it's always nice to see homebrew games getting exposure.

    It's the AC. Short of turning it off (in Florida: not a good idea) there's not much I can do about it besides wait for the cycle to turn. My house is terrible for acoustics. But because of my son I have limited window of opportunity to even record. I try and filter it out as best I can but there wasn't much I could about this particular recording.  



     
  • figured you mostly did lets plays based on your banner/channel name(which I mostly can't get into)... but these were great! keep up the good work
  • I didn't notice the hum so it must've not been too bad. I've been really enjoying your videos. Good stuff!

    Oh I noticed it in editing. But I didn't want to lose another night to rerecord it. I'm looking at getting some acoustic foam in my den/office area. Hopefully that will help. 



    Also thanks everyone for the feedback and support. I just really love this hobby and honestly making this stuff is really fun for me. Plus I love sharing great games with other people. G-Type found something new to play. That's awesome. 
  • Daria, awesome job on the videos, definitely looking forward to more!
  • Awesome videos, your very good at commentating !
  • Good job, keep it up!
  • Good review. Defiantly made me want to play the game.
  • Definately educational and you know your stuff! Definitely subscribing and keep up the good work.
  • Thanks again for doing the S&R one! And agreed, Owlia is going to be awesome! Can't wait for the full game.
  • No problem. I enjoyed making it.



    So not a homebrew, but I don't want to create a ton of threads. Arabian Nights is a traditional turnbased RPG for the (translated) Super Famicom.

    Soundproofing material can get expensive, but you can use egg cartons as a cheap alternative in the meantime. We used to do this when recording our demos back in the day and it helped a lot.

    I never noticed any humming, maybe because I also live in Florida and either my AC drowns out stuff or I'm just used to hearing it.



    I may try out egg cartons, sounds like a good idea. I've tried to take out my AC sound with audio software like audacity, but it comes with a cost: I can take the sound out, but it leaves the audio sounding anything but lossless. =\

    Yeah I was running a filter for the noise on the past few videos, but just left it off this one. I'd rather have the low hum than the flat sound. 

     
  • Thanks for making videos like this for homebrews. It was finding out about homebrews on YouTube that led me to Nintendo Age. I love the format! Keep making them.
  • New Video! Check out my thoughts on The Incident from Khan Games



  • The Incident is better and more feature-rich than I thought it would be, great review.
  • Yeah, I also enjoyed the latest review. I'm not much of a puzzle gamer, but I still think that game looks rad. I agree ^^^ re: the features--really nice.
  • Thank you Daria, for taking the time to play the game and give it an honest review. I really really appreciate it!



    And for anyone interested, the game will definitely be out within a month, so keep your eyes peeled. Just waiting on some supplies to come my way.

    My pleasure, that was a lot of fun. (:
  • Another good review, Daria. Makes me more anxious to get my copy in the mail (hopefully today)!
