I’m currently working on some Hypnospace Outlaw stuff. I think it comes out to 99 videos I’m trying to upload. My (at present private) “Hypnospace Outlaw OST + Extras” playlist is 202 videos long. That means that it’s going to have 301 videos.

I placed each video in the playlist with specific intent; I categorized them into one of 6 categories that are in order: released, unreleased, unused, low-quality, short, and bonus. Within these categories, where appropriate, I ordered by how the artists officially released the songs, by the name of the file (some files have a specific order that doesn’t correspond with alphabetical order), or alphabetically (first by artist name and then by song name).

It’s been taking me so long for multiple reasons:

1. I must manually record many songs directly from the game because they use the Hypnospace Tune Sequencer. I have to go through each recording and validate that the recorded music doesn’t sound janky, then cut it up precisely when the music is supposed to start and stop based on what it tells you in-game, and finally save each song as a new file.

2. I want to avoid re-uploads. Others have already uploaded many unreleased/unused/low-quality/short tracks, and I don’t want to reduce their efforts. Because of this, I have to look up each item in my extensive list and parse through YouTube or Google results to ensure that someone hasn’t already uploaded it (in 1 song per video format).

3. 99 is a lot. From what I can tell, there are 128 unreleased/unused/low-quality/short songs. Out of these, 73 aren’t yet on YouTube. The other 26 songs (that add up to the 99 total) are officially released but aren’t yet on YouTube. Also, I like to be meticulous with my video descriptions, which adds a lot of time.

4. I have been putting this project off for a month. I have already prepared every song to be uploaded, all thumbnails, the massive playlist, and how I will order each video. I still haven’t rendered any of the 99 videos or prepared the 99 descriptions (some descriptions will have unique information regarding the song, but I also need to write proper credits and categorial information).

4.a. My desktop has been a mess for a month, and I haven’t touched anything Hypnospace Outlaw related. One of the reasons for this is how busy I’ve been recently, but I think the biggest reason is how daunting this project is. However, I plan to work on “Hypnospace Outlaw OST + Extras” again in the coming weeks/month. I want to make progress for a few reasons:

4.a.i. I haven’t gone through every song again to see if someone beat me to the punch. At this point, I don’t want to, and I somewhat don’t even care if I accidentally end up “re-uploading” a song. I do still want to avoid doing that, though.

4.a.ii. I don’t know if I’ll do a “Dreamsettler OST + Extras,” but I want to complete this project before Hypnospace Outlaw’s sequel, Dreamsettler, comes out regardless.

4.a.iii. Too much plink. I’m afraid I’m milking plink. I don’t want to become a plink channel, even if I created my subsequent plink videos only because of requests to do so in comments.

This post was not about me complaining. I just wanted to explain the situation on an upcoming project I’ve been working on. If I didn’t want to do this, I wouldn’t. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

As a final note, I didn’t write this post for anyone to read it. I just wanted to get my thoughts out for my own sake.
