Each video is edited together automatically from your footage and accompanying voicechat, once you return from each trip to theOld World, and you can watch it all on an in-game monitor with a mocked-up chat feed and viewcount. It’s a pungent, potted commentary on the machinations of Youtube celebrity, with heady notes of “cautionary tale about algorithmic content generation” and “cautionary tale about people endangering or hurting themselves being a dependable source of views”. Urgh, I can feel an op-ed coming on. In the meantime, here’s how the developers - a team of only five - are updating Content Warning following its launch success.
“The last 24h have been a wild ride to say the least, never did we imagine that we would get over 200K concurrent and over 6.2 MILLION owners of the game in 24h - THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!” readsa Steam post. The post also covers the main problems with the game at the time of writing. Take it away Mr Blockquote:
Issues with voices
Connection and hosting issues
Issues with camera footage not extracting
Issues with camera footage not being visible
The developers plan to roll out some fixes for the above beginning today. They’ve also been talking a bit about longer-term plans for the game on the Steam forums - it’s unconfirmed, but Content Warning might one day get community servers to ensure that it carries on if the developers stop supporting it.
“We don’t plan on shutting this game any time soon - don’t worry,” observed developer Botten Hanna ina Steam thread. “We have contingencies in place for this - for example our other server based game [Totally Accurate Battlegrounds] is still running 6 years on but has community servers available in case we ever need to stop paying for servers (which we do not intend to).”
