Minecraft has indeed begun!

 

Our first Minecraft session done!

 Hi All!

Mabeanie here to say that Akirasora, Ihasnotomato, and I just finished recording our first session of Minecraft and the first session together since 2015 and Metroid 2. We recorded for 4 hours and did some cool stuff, things got a little crazy and heated at times, but at the end we're still chums and now the brain's gonna be working on cool stuff we could do in the future.

Stephanie's got her work cut out for her with three different views. Oh boy she's gonna hate synchronising all of our recordings up. Ugh.

Anyway, that's it!

Bye All!

Minecraft confirmed

Hi All!

Today Akirasora, Ihasnotomato, and I (Mabeanie) played some Minecraft together on a Realm to make sure that nobody was having connection issues or anything. This has stopped us in the past, so it was important not to get too excited before recording. Now that we've got that test out of the way, we have scheduled time on the 18th of September to have our first session with all three of us for the first time since 2015 and Metroid 2. That's a little surprising. Liam and I have each made series with Frank, but not the three of us. 

Minecraft will be the first indefinite series that we've started since our original attempt in 2012. All of us will be recording and the views will switch between us depending on what is most interesting at any particular instant. 

Liam and I have also decided what game will succeed Twilight Princess, but of course we won't reveal it until a) we have recorded it, and b) the first episode is published. We will run three episodes of us playing Worms and then the next series will start. 

That's everything, and hopefully it all goes nicely and we don't have any trouble.

Bye All!

We finished Hollow Knight and Twilight Princess

 Hi All!

Yesterday we recorded the ends of Hollow Knight and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. Stephanie smashed through editing the Twilight Princess episodes today and I've worked out that the last episode will go up on the 2nd of October. I don't know when Hollow Knight will finish, but it depends on how the episodes go. She does try to cut the episodes down a bit so that they're just the good parts. 

Anyway, the main concern for us is what will run alongside Minecraft. We have discussed my idea of doing Need For Speed: Most Wanted (2005) where Liam plays and I be the expert. We have also talked about doing Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but we don't like playing games from franchises immediately after one another, so we've never done it. We could of course return to Borderlands 2 or 3. Those series were good when they last ran. It's not immediately concerning, because we have about a month to work out what we're going to do. I'll give it a few days before I give Liam a list of what we could do. I am very keen on doing another I.M. series at least. It's been good for my mental health, spending time with friends.

 So yeah, that's the latest and see you next time!

Bye All!

Yes we did record

 Hi All!

Quick update to let you know that Liam and I recorded Hollow Knight and Twilight Princess yesterday. He suggested that if I'm so excited about doing a Minecraft series, we can run one at the same time as the other two. Stephanie is excited to get these episode edited, so we should see a continuous run of videos for the next month or two. I'm certainly intent on making sure that we have lots of content for the rest of the year at least.

Anyway that's it.

Bye All!

Slight Delays and Minecraft

 Hi All!

Mabeanie here to update you on what's been going on at SAIM. First of all we did run Hollow Knight and Civ 5 for a few weeks. Frank and I recorded more Civ 5 and finished the game, then we ran out of finished episodes of Civ 5, and Hollow Knight ran out a few weeks later. So at the moment we're waiting for the final batch of Civ 5 episodes to be edited and scheduled, and Liam and I have a Hollow Knight and Twilight Princess session set for the 27th.

I expect that we will see Hollow Knight and Civ 5 be uploaded until the latter runs out, and then Twilight Princess will replace Civ 5.

You may wonder what will come of future content with Frank, and to that I have an exciting answer; Minecraft.

 Anybody who has gone back to some of our older videos may be aware that our first videos and original intentions for SAIM Industries were Minecraft content. I have been working on a word document with a decent list of things that I would like to build or do with Frank and Liam in our Minecraft series. It is quite fitting that we would return to the game around the time of our 10 year anniversary, but I think that with our current series being long games it might be a stretch to say that Minecraft will happen in 2021. We will have to wait and see. 

 At the moment, my working title ideas are as follows:

• The SAIM but different Minecraft series.
• Anything that uses the SAIM initials.

I also think it would be fun to introduce each session with a different take on what SAIM stands for.

This new Minecraft series for me comes at a time of nostalgia for my own Minecraft series, and so much of what I want to happen in the SAIM series comes from the experience of making those series, the three episodes of Adventures In Minecraft (AIM), and my experiences of playing the game.

Sorry for the delay, but we do have plans for lots of great content for the rest of 2021.

Bye All!

Let's Go 2021!!!

 Hi All!

Mabeanie here with another update. I just got off the phone with Ihasnotomato and he told me that our editor Stephanie has just finished editing everything that we'd recorded up to now. That's our Australia Day session of Hollow Knight and Akirasora and I's most recent Civ 5 session. So this coming week we'll be on a full schedule:

 

I just have to make a small adjustment and put Ihasnotomato and I's heads onto Hollow Knight so that everyone knows that there are different people in the videos, and maybe one day we'll do different intros.

Yeah so we're very excited about finally getting SAIM going again. I have lots of ideas for series with Tomato and I, Akirasora and I, and the three of us! Man this is just great!!!

 Bye All!
