I want to put the Christmas stuff up as all the neighbours have, but my partner won't let me until December 1st.

The Christmas channel trailer for Serenity Solo Plays becomes the channel trailer for the gaming channel once again tomorrow.

A new one will be created next year.

Now, for the trailers, do I pick a song that was used in one of the next episode previews for that game to foster familiarity yet risk repetitiveness?

Or do I choose a completely new song to bring originality yet risk making it a little disjointed from the Let's Play series?

My dilemma of the day.

I think I've figured out the split scene chase scenes for the gaming channel trailer. This may be the best of my current abilities. A comparison video is in my previous post.

Almost 8 hours in total that took for me to get right, for an 18 second scene.

I spent 5 hours early this morning trying to put my split chase idea into the next gaming channel trailer. It's very primitive but I can't find any better way of doing it. I can't find any way to wipe the next clip across the scene.

I have muted the song due to copyright reasons.

It's been one hell of a long morning. It's put me in quite a bit of pain, and I've now been awake for almost 24 hours.

Work has begun on the new trailer for the gaming channel. Licensed songs are being chosen. This should hopefully go live on January 1st.

Now, off to bed with me.

Continuing the Christmas songs preview episodes, here we have White Day episode 4.

We reach the first of the timed puzzles as we try to rescue someone from a killer tree.

Do you know what would be cool? If I linked the videos with Christmas songs included in the next episode previews during December.

Here's Clock Tower Rewind episode 1. I have no idea what I'm doing

I'll Be Home for Christmas by Linda Ronstadt is the next episode preview song.

I have finally caught up with all the edits for the gaming channel. These still need rendering, though.

Unfortunately, tomorrow I will have to back the files up to the 16tb external HDD to free up some space. I have less than 300gb left on my 4tb editing drive.

It's going to take a while.

This was a concept trailer made in 2014 for The Purgatorians. It has never been made public on Serenity Solo Studios. It is in the playlist as unlisted, but people can't find it on YouTube otherwise.

This was the 2014 cast. Only 2 of these remain in the current show.

I really need an 'It's a Wonderful Life' moment, but I fear things will be no different once I see the outcome. Maybe it could turn out even better for some 😞

Here we are with The Evil Within episode 19. We are now Kidman, with no weapons. Even though she had weapons in the main game. Forced stealth anyone?

Ordinary World by Duran Duran is the next episode preview song.

Now, to play the waiting game for Lick'd to clear these claims.

I only have Michonne's left to upload now. All the others don't contain licensed songs except the look backs on the final episodes.

Sorry I've been quieter today. I got this email this afternoon, and it upset me a little. I withdrew from all social media for the rest of the day. Until now, that is.

The email is cropped to hide their email address above and their signature below.

Not long woke up, and I'm not feeling too well today. I should have finished the edits by the end of the day, but working like this would lead to mistakes.

An unofficial rendering day begins. They need doing and uploading before Christmas week begins to have the claims cleared anyway.

Here we are with Man of Medan episode 3.

In this episode, the team make their escape from their captors, but the hallucinations from the gas start to take hold. Yes, I jumped at this often.

The premiere on YouTube was an absolute disappointment. 0 viewers popped in. Not even straight in, straight out.

I have so many new paid opportunities to bring to VA's and video editors, but I can't afford to bring them if my channels are completely ignored.

Oh well, maybe next time... Maybe not!

Since I became overly reliant on a guide on Tormented Souls, I have made myself a new rule when it comes to the Let's Plays.

I can still use a guide, but I must be stuck on a puzzle for at least 10 minutes or lost, unsure where to go, for at least 20 minutes first.
December 5, 2025 at 4:36 PM
I am trying something new tonight and for the foreseeable future. I am premiering the games on YouTube.

I didn't want to do it when Man of Medan had the hitching due to the faulty power bank. It is now fixed after the first scene.

This will premiere at 6pm GMT on Serenity Solo Plays.
December 5, 2025 at 11:31 AM
Here we are with The Evil Within episode 18. All caught up now.

We see the main game to completion in this episode. Time to get rid of Ruvik once and for all... Maybe!

Wow. I sent a lot of messages on Discord this year.

Now I have almost finished editing episode 5 of Tormented Souls, I'm having second thoughts about making this a Patreon exclusive

The being stuck on puzzles segments ended in episode 2. I do end up getting sick of running back and forth a bit later, though, and a non-story spoiler guide is followed
December 4, 2025 at 6:46 PM
The Tormented Souls Let's Play may be a tier 3 Patreon exclusive. Possibly tier 2 at a later date.

All it seems to be is me running to a location, finding a puzzle piece, and spending 10 minutes or more to find where that goes. Rinse and repeat.

If people on YouTube ask for it, I will bring it.
December 4, 2025 at 1:23 PM
I don't want to curse it, but for the first time in years, clicking update and shut down on my laptop actually... Wait for it... Updated and shut down.

For years, no matter how many times I clicked on that, it always updated and restarted. Did they finally get around to fixing the issue?
December 4, 2025 at 11:11 AM
Here is episode 18 of The Evil Within.

I have more than enough trouble with static traps. This time, they're moving and stun lock me into the most unluckiest death yet. Also, knock off Pyramid Head returns.

That's 11 hours of Silent Hill part 1 rendered. Hopefully, no claims hit this one as it took ages.

I also realised I have only rendered part 1 of the longer Song of Horror videos. Yet all episodes are uploaded. I did them in the wrong order... Oops.

Luckily, no claims hit them.
