Just some random fun information The two upgradeable items you mentioned are Kickstarter backer items. I did the Helix Bracer. Its a helix based off DNA being Helixes, and the theme of DNA manipulation of the geneforge. The original goal for it was an upgradable Living item where it adapts to the user's DNA. I originally wanted it to be found kinda early, and have very little information about it, and be basically useless uncharged but really powerful when fully charged. Im fairly happy with how it turned out, Unless you charge the other item there is only like 2 sets of gloves that competes for that slot once the bracer is charged fully, and that other two are situationally useful for either raw melee damage or mechanics. Though i wish there was a little less information about it, since it shares the charge mechanic with the slap gloves im ok with it. Im going to back a Helix item every remake Jeff does for Geneforge ❤️

@TriRodentYou dont have to haul selling items around. Your junk pack is nigh infinite storage explicitly for us loot goblins, but you can only take things out of it in town.

There is a reason i play these games on Normal and no higher. I love the depth, the madness, the political games, the power gaming, the trial and error. But i like to do *everything* in the game and if i played on a difficulty that was hard id never find time to complete it. I cleared the Beta of G1M as a shaper (Battle/Magic Army) running 7 creations for 75% of the game, but still havent gotten around to Guardian or Agent runs. Not my fault though, guardian was Borked hard until the last strech of the beta and ive had a hard time coming back after that experience. I want to do a run of the remakes with every single class, itll be an endeavor for me. Gotta also make sure i catch every single kickstarter so i can pay jeff to add Helix Gear to every game. All Hail lord Helix!

Depending on difficulty, it depends a lot on your class/skill spread. As a shaper on normal i managed to clear nearly half the game areas relying on a large army and low shaping skills mostly pumping leadership/mechanics. You hit major Lead/Mech areas first for exp, i did do a bit of blessing magic because having those spells goes a long way. My first 3-4 levels was pure mech/leadership. You can earn a lot of extra exp with those stats. Once i had the mech/lead goals i wanted i was pumping extra essence/creation skills. 4x Searing Artilla and 3x battle alphas are extremely effective in early game, you can grab alphas/betas early for free (no combat, no obstacles) if you hit about 8 leadership and reach pentil. Searing artilas are just lovely artilley with acid loving, and a poison bite. Also, the tried and true method of throwing wave after wave after wave after wave after wave after wave after wave after wave after wave of disposable men is even better in this game than before, since creations dont need exp to get stronger. Shape an army, run into combat, let them duke it out while you run to the area exit. You can clear a lot of zones way early like this, your army *only* has to be strong enough to kill 1 single enemy (assuming its not one of the few areas where they respawn) and you can theoretically clear it over an excess of trials. And personally, on normal, i found that having mildly poor (3-7 range) control over my creations wasnt a big deal. Their HP thresholds for status effects or going rogue usually meant the fight was either ending or they would outright die when they hit it. And with an army of 8 (counting myself here, i had firebolt and heals) one creature turning wasnt usually a big deal. Also i always had an Army of 8 once i had the essence to do so.

The teir 3 creations arent crazy high level, you could probably handle one as a shock troop. Spiral Burrow is

I wouldnt want to spoil strategy too much, but if you can reach pentil you can get a Battle Alpha Canister without practically any risk so long as you have moderately high leadership. its not in pentil though but if you have reached pentil you can reach this area. For anyone absolutely wondering where to get some early Alphas...

Ah. Hadnt played the demo so i thought that area would be included (was that area in the original’s demo?)

You dip the item in, there are 2 items to dip. One i added, one Randomizer added. One pool should be in the demo. I know of 3 pools, dunno if more. An pool cant be used more than once though. And you get both items at the same time.

I havent gotten a chance to use the slap gloves. I made one playthrough as a shaper with my bracers, and i tried to do a guardian (twice, before and after the shaper) but got burnt out with how stupid hard it was on normal and i kept getting, repeatedly, series of misses that technically should have had a sub 1/10000 or less chance of occuring. At one low point i pulled a double quick action triple miss against an enemy with ~5 hp remaining 3 turns in a row and died. Im glad Jeff fixed that evasion bug, i knew something was wrong with accuracy as a guardian but i wasnt one who reported it. Ill probably wait for the full release to try again though. Also, artillas are OP, and im trying not to use them on a guardian run. Its difficult.

I added the Helix bracer. Its a nifty item that takes some exploration to make it do anything. Jeff didnt quite hit the vision i had when i first suggested it, but i do like how it turned out. Its main function is shared by another item so you have to choose one or the other really, but the other is really niche (and cool). I just wished it looked like a DNA strand >.< If you know where and how to get it's bonuses effectively it can be very good until you acquire better items for your setup. I know there are some items blatantly better for any melee focused user, as the Bracer is very much a generalist item with a slight bias towards creation heavy playthroughs. I dont know if there are many items for that slot that are amazing for magic users, i didnt may much attention since i was determined to use *MY* item the whole run. I hope i get the chance to add more items in the next 4 remakes, i want an entire line of Helix gear through all of them.

Just uploaded 3 more Videos, about 80 minutes to watch. Sorry about the long delay.

Just want to put a update, i havent been able to record but i HAVE figured out how to split and remerge audio. It may be as late as next week before i can record again because I'm changing jobs and adapting to a new schedule.

MP4 is Not compatible with audacity. all the free video editing software i find either add a really ugly water mark, is made for creating things only inside of the editor and not for importing, or is so damn convoluted i cant figure out how to even create a new project (has an entire project tab, no way to create new and apparently doesn't recognize ANY file type) or is is some different language despite the website being english (wtf is up with this) Video tutorial would be so helpful please.

What cheese rook said was something i had already done starting with episode 2 onward. (ep 1 was atrocious audio tbh) On my next video i will try what you mentioned Blxz, Thanks for the tips. Edit: so i managed to split audio sucessfully, and like you said some things (youtube) wont play both tracks. But i can't quite figure out how to fuse the audio tracks. Audacity tells me all the File types OBS records in are unsupported, and importing raw data yields nothing but ear shattering static. I would work on this more but i dont have the time right now.

Be a servile and show those shapers who is the true master.
