Hey original goonstation diaries idea dude here.
Yeah I got a bit ahead of myself with that last thread, it seems there was a bit needed (i.e: A new laptop so I can actually run a decent recording software, which I have now), but i'm already familiar with editing and stuff, by no means a professional but I can do it.
The idea for the concept was yes, inspired from minecraft videos. Namely, the original PBG minecraft hardcore videos, where perspective changed every odd minute and when someone died, that perspective was removed.

So unfortunately no ghost perspective unless something incredibly salty/hilarious is said that is relevant to the video, like if someone from perspective #1 kills someone from perspective #2 and #2 badmouths #1 then yes, include it because it's funny.
The whole gist of it is already explained very well by zeweka. The format of it is essentially
1. Different recordings taking from different players showing different perspectives.
2. Edited video so it's down to 20-30 minutes. Many people are put off by overly long letsplays and my intention was not for this to be a letsplay, more for it to naturally tell a story.
3. Commentary. The silence of the video would be rather off-putting and reading the text on the side is not intuitive for people who are not familiar with SS13. Also fuck reading. The commentary was originally so that each perspective lends their own side of things, but some people are not comfortable with talking nor do they have recording equipment so that means it evolved into the one commentator.
4. Following on from that idea, the commentator would read it in a script format,
Eg: "Mr. red pelted the clown full of hot rubber, causing the clown to scream and involuntarily somersault into the adjacent airlock. "My bar has standards!," he retorted, before scrunching up a cigarette into a patrons drink"
This would mean whoever is reading who want to have a good reading voice. I actually do, so I will put myself forward for this, but I'll need to get some good PC recording hardware, which I should be able to borrow from a mate who actually works at a recording studio.
5. I originally intended to have an intro and outro. I'm completely open as to what that is, but i'd like to encompass some form of introducing the players. Outro could be the same, but it includes what happened to the player (if they died ingame) and if not where they are now.
"Bravo the clown finally graduated clown school but overdosed from crank on his graduation party and suffered from a massive stroke. Despite this, he has earned great fame by becoming the first quadriplegic space clown"
"Mr red, died by gratuitous blows to the head by a red cylindrical object before being thrown into the empty vacuum of space. Rest in piss.
PM me zewaka if you want some help or ideas or whatever. It might be some time though, i'm going on holidays to india for a month with said recording friend in 2 weeks time.
