[Realm of Echoes] - Building a quest-to-map onboarding path

0 Upvotes

I linked the quest modal, ground marker, minimap, and atlas to one tracked-objective state so every cue updates from the same source. The goal was a clean accept → orient → move handoff. I'm curious which cue other developers would cut first.

Developer disclosure: some 3D assets are Meshy-assisted; this UI and gameplay integration are custom.

Looking for deleted Factorio mini-documentary

11 Upvotes

A channel called StrategyCamp created a mini-documentary about the making of Factorio called "Factorio - How Two Programmers Built The Most Complex Game Ever". This was one of the best game dev documentaries on YouTube I have ever seen. It was actually posted on this subreddit a while back.

It looks like a malicious actor falsely filed a copyright strike against the channel (I can't find the channel or video anymore) then ran the original video through AI and reuploaded it. The only version on YouTube right now is the AI slop version that they stole.

Did anyone happen to back this video up locally? Or is it uploaded elsewhere? I have no idea how to reach out to the original creator.
