Patterns - A Radius Short Story (Horror)

Weirdly enough the most fun part of making this was forcing myself to take weapons I never use!
Normally I run an assault rifle, but the Mosin with a Sagia was pretty refreshing! Even more fun with them both being unsuppressed so clearing the area to record was... fun.

Let me know what you think of the video. It's my attempt at a horror told through audio logs. Only 15min too.

Check out my guide for Anomalies

Let me know what you think of my Radius Survival Guide so far. I've already though of some th8ings to change, but you're always you own biggest critic.

I have some head cannon to explain things, but I have to admit, I’m an ‘inside the box efficiency’ thinker. I’m certain there are some creatives out there with something much more eloquent they have in their head.

So here’s some examples of my head cannon.

The metal clanking that sponges make is because the radius is still learning what things are made of and what noises they make. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature of the story.

The ash figures that we recover weapons from are explorers that failed to reach the center of the radius as they were instructed. That’s why their weapons are broken and still there, degrading over time. They aren’t respawning, forever doomed in their place of rest where the radius lost its patience with them. Forever a reminder to future explorers of the consequences of ignoring the instructions to reach the center.

What’s your favourite head cannon that explains something in game to you?

This was the little river bridge, next to the nearest safe house in Outskirts. As I was approaching the railway bridge I turned and looked back, with the figure disappearing shortly after I noticed it, so I couldn't get my scope up.

It looked like the model for the radius from the starting cutscene.

Peak, just peak. I love role playing as a postman, the game even has a blue hat for me!

I love the desperate gunfire as if they know a grenade is an enemy, but they don't know how to stop it killing them.

For anyone with questions about the game performance, I keep the NVIDIA overlay up throughout my videos in the top left. I edit and uploading as I play.

This shows you the CPU and GPU utilisation on the overlay throughout.

If it disappears it because I’ve switched from creator camera to meta quest recording for right eye POV as creator camera records from the center of the head.

Setup Meta Quest 3 Steaming wirelessly via steam link. NVIDIA 4070 GPU Ryzen 7700 CPU

Settings - Normal graphics across the board. View distance set to max. Normal enemies, loot and anomalies. Creator camera turned on (negatively affects performance)

My GPU hovers between 70 and 100% utilisation but I haven’t had performance issues.

The only issues I have is steam link stuttering. The game continues running fine in the background.

It’s likely due to lack of a dedicated WiFi router and nothing to do with game performance.
