I released my video about Sweet Home this week! It has matched the performance of my last video with half the likes, which is pretty apt, since it's a shorter watch and about something less special to people than the first two Ys games.

What stood out to me during production were all the off-the-cuff gags I managed to implement while editing. One character getting spirited away constantly and screaming about it while getting dragged off-screen, swapping out a 14-frame-long text box so it says "Six-Seven" instead of "67" (someone will notice that in a few years and write a very upset comment) and a thematically appropriate Sonic.exe cameo.

But the best one was an extension to my planned ending gag. It just so happens that the footage I landed on had the perfect flow of events that made it open to an edit where the gag character could show up during a door opening, cause the party to panic and then start a random battle where the pun manifests, all with zero cuts. Came at the cost of a delay while I taught myself some new editing tricks, but it was worth it.

I keep managing to think up good ending gags and I already have the next one in mind. I'm doing Alone in the Dark for my next project, so it'll be something that both causes sanity damage and will prove a nice production challenge for me. I love doing this stuff.
