Hey there and welcome back to another video where I talk about whatever game I’m currently interested in on today’s menu is an up and cominging game you may not know of called vintage story let’s go into an adventure and find out what this game really is when you first start The game you’re given the option to create a character with funny little instrument noises for their voice you can also choose from different classes that give you different advantages or disadvantages for different aspects of the game with console commands you are able to change your class at any time But you need to put in a console command to do that after you’ve made your character you’ve discovered that you’ve been thrown into a world and you don’t really know why or how you got there the only real guidance you’re given is to open your handbook which has a lot of Information is going to be the number one source of how you actually figure out to play the game the handbook will tell you how to progress through all the systems in the entire game for the most part and you’ll be spending a lot of time reading this book most likely the First advice for given is to collect Cattails to make baskets to expand our inventory but before we can do that we have to make a knife which requires us to find flint off the ground so let’s try to make our first knife so we can actually start working towards our first Goal you might be thinking maybe the recipe is something like this or maybe something like this probably at this stage you’re going to begin to realize how much interaction this game actually requires out of the player so if you would like to make a knife you first Have to get two pieces of flint and place one on the ground and nap the other with another piece of Flint in order to actually create the shape of a knife once you have this actual piece of a knife blade you can attach it to a Stick to make an actual knife this is generally how a lot of things work in the game you have to actually craft them physically which is really interesting a lot of the time in this game if you’re going to be crafting something you have to make the actual component parts and Actually spend time on those components unlike Minecraft where you can just get items by getting a couple basic materials in this game you have to get the basic materal materials and then use those to progressively increase the complexity of your tools as Night comes closer we have gathered a bunch of basic Materials and we should probably make some kind of shelter and maybe a fire and getting a wood plank house or a cobblestone house isn’t really going to be an option on our first night so we will go for the easiest house we can make which is just out of grass also Called thatch this is pretty much the basic and most easiest building block in the game so how do you actually make a fire well it’s not something that you make your inventory in the crafting window you’ll have to take your grass place it on the ground and then add Firewood which you can get from splitting Logs with an axe although splitting logs you can do in your inventory but I hope they actually change that later on so once you’ve placed your wood and grass you need some way to actually start the fire in order To start fires early on in the game you’ll need a fire starter and the most basic one you can make with just two sticks and one piece of grass this fire starter is really easy to make but it’s also not that great you may find yourself spending spending maybe 10 Attempts trying to start a fire sometimes you’re going to be seeing this aspect of the game over and over again where you have to be physically involved with the process of crafting or building anything I think that making the player have to actually physically build things even component parts is a lot more Rewarding in the long term than Minecraft as night approaches you might hear weird noises outside your house or the shuffling of feet depending on something called Rift activity there may be a varying amount of demons or enemies who may try to attack you or just spawn Around and kind of search for you they seem to be From Another Dimension but you can’t really tell and haven’t learned enough yet in the morning you might find these strange and creepy portals around and wonder what they might do should you go into the portals What might happen when you let them warp your mind I think I’ll leave that for you to discover and there’s a lot of mysteries to uncover in this game like the mystery of how I get all of my music and sound effects for my you YouTube or twitch when I occasionally stream well That mystery I can solve for you with our not a sponsor epidemic sound I use epidemic sound for all of my music and sound effects on YouTube and twitch my favorite part about epidemic is their huge library of both sound effects and music that you can choose from and you Can link your social accounts to your epidemic sound and you will never see a copyright strike on any YouTube or twitch content check out the link in the description to get a 30-day free trial that you can cancel at any time all right back to the video of mother Hackers so I hope you guys are starting to get a general idea of how this game works and I’m going to briefly go over some more mechanics and systems in the game let’s begin with the pottery system which gives you a lot more advanced options later on for example if you want To make complex food or stews you will have to get a cooking pot which you have to form from clay in order to form new things with Clay you will need to place it on the ground like you similarly do with flint and you’ll have to actually Add the clay to form it into a new object that you can use later I personally love this system where you have to build up your clay tools or pieces layer by layer and it’s really fun to actually do and it’s pretty relaxing as well so after we’ve formed Our Pottery we have to actually still fire it because it is still soft and malleable so to do that we have to build a hole and we put our Pottery inside of it light a fire and let it sit for 24 in game hours after this you can finally Use your Pottery you can also use Pottery for storing food as well as molds for ingots and metal tools further on in the game any sort of smithing or smelting requires you to actually make the fuel to do that W doesn’t burn at a high enough temperature to actually melt Metal so you have to go through the process of making charcoal which is a similar process to real life in order to make charcoal to melt the early on Metals you will need to actually fill a pit with wood and then start a fire that Is covered up so that the wood can burn without exposure to oxygen when you do eventually get into the smithing stage which is used for more advanced tools like saw blades and things like that you will actually need to move the metal with a hammer which is really cool and It actually takes time to craft your tools which is really fun and super rewarding everything in this game is deep and it requires a lot of different steps which is what I really like and it makes the game super super rewarding even the smallest things can feel like An achievement like making a pickaxe so now that I’ve touched on the basic crafting systems of the game I wanted to step back and talk about the game more as a whole first off you will notice the different biomes in the game as well as the changing weather the time of year in This game actually does matter and it can affect the different seasons depending on where you’re at at on the planet the time of year can also change the duration of light or darkness in each day so going north or south can change weather conditions as well as daylight hours so you are technically Able to travel around the planet to avoid winter time if you wish to do that there are a lot of habital environments but there are just as many harsh environments such as deserts and really cold biomes of snow but you can even take on these hard environments with Your friends Vint story has a similar multiplayer system to Minecraft where you could host servers but you can also just use a local Lan such as radman to play with your friends more easily getting into multiplayer with my friends was pretty easy we just had to install a Lan Network VPN and you can just press one button to open your network it tells you which IP to send your friends and it’s that easy you and your friends are able to place all kinds of items on the ground which is super fun to actually do For example if you do not need your ax for that day you can just lean it against a wall inside of your house and that frees up your inventory slots you can also Place bowls or other equipment that you might not need on shelving when you don’t actually want to use it I Think that this aspect makes the game pretty immersive because you have to actually think about how you’re going to store all of your items and you have to actually physically store them somewhere not just in an inventory slot in a chest in a way I think that this design is Very human even though it sounds like a meme but it actually is you can do what you naturally would do in real life and that’s a lot of how this game works if you think about what you should do in real life that’s generally what you Should do in this game I also wanted to mention the mechanical devices in vintage story which can get pretty complicated as well some processes in the game can be automated with the uses of mechanical devices such as windmills this of course would require you to make All of the gears the drive shafts the clutches and all the other mechanical Parts you would actually need in O wind so you do have to make all of that and put it all together in order to actually mechanize any processes you can also transport items with an Archimedes screw Which I haven’t actually tried but sounds really cool there are all kinds of mechanical Parts such as brakes axles and clutches and torque actually matters in this game there is so much to learn about this game so if you like games that require you to learn a lot about Them then this is definitely a game you would enjoy so now let’s talk about Farming Farming is as you might have guessed just as deep as every other system in the game seeds can be collected from pots that you find in Ruins around the world or from wild Plants that grow throughout the year you can form a watering can from clay and a hoe from Flint to actually farm with these basic tools you’re able to till the soil add the seeds and water them what’s really interesting about farming in this game is that plants actually Consume nutrients and the soil has three different nutrient values this encourages crop rotation which is pretty much realistic to real life alternatively you can find fertilizers that will replace any missing nutrients that your plants are consuming you can see the nutrient values of a tilled block by just looking at it fertilizer You place to replenish these nutrients will not happen immediately it does take time the nutrient value as well as the temperature and moisture value all affect the growth speed of plants and oh my heck does it take a long time for plants to grow flax for example takes 2 Months or 18 in-game days this means that you have to keep the plant watered and fed with nutrients throughout an entire 2month period in the game all of this follow voiding temperatures that might damage or reduce the production of your crops and again we see that each Aspect of this game is an entire process I think that’s how I would Define the survival aspect of this game everything in this game requires time and effort and nothing is really given to you for free I think that’s probably my favorite aspect of this game in Minecraft if a Friend were to give you a diamond pickaxe that’s cool in everything but it doesn’t really take much time or effort to get a diamond pickaxe in Minecraft you can easily do that within an hour and even if you spend time getting those ingredients to craft a pickaxe for your Friend is super easy it doesn’t require any effort at all you just put the ingredients into a crafting table and there you go you have a pickaxe in contrast a steel pickaxe in vintage story is a huge deal someone had to go through the long process of making fuel To actually smelt everything needed for that pickaxe they had to have made an anvil an entire manufacturing process and they had to actually manually move the metal and shape that pickaxe this means that the amount of time and effort spent on a single pickaxe and vintage story is 10 times more than Minecraft And someone actually had to spend their time creating it not just instantly poofing it out of air every tool in vintage story is a product of someone’s effort and time this also applies to building vintage story allows you to Chisel blocks so you can make any design That you want you could spend hours building a cabin where you chisel every single detail to Perfection you will need to smelt glass for your windows you would need to get wood and create a metal saw out of the smelting process to make planks for your walls every single Block that you make and every single tool you make is a reward for your effort and time spent in the process of learning how to make those things if you want a game with instant gratification this is probably not the game for you this is about long-term reward this game Is about stages and working for the things around you you can feel a sense of accomplishment at building a tool or a house or even just making bread is actually an achievement in this game everything is an achievement in this game because it requires your time and effort there’s also a committed and Caring Dev team behind this game they have a game that they want to make and they’ve gone out to make it and they are still working on it this game is still somewhat small but over the recent months it’s been getting a lot more of attention so where can you get your Hands on Vintage story well it’s not on Steam you can get it off of their website like the original Minecraft or you can also download it on itch.io personally I use their website where you have to make an account for their website as well as a game account there Is so much more to talk about in terms of this game so if you want to see more videos about vintage story give this video a like and I’ll make some more if you have any questions or want to talk about anything make sure to hit up the Comment section for that and thank you guys for your donations through patreon our Discord serice subscriptions and twitch links for
