As a long time viewer gotta say I do love the story arc of “Airsacs are awful so I’m never using them” to “Airsacs are awful but I WILL find a way to win with them”

air sacs' design is super snowbally... either they get completely suppressed by air or sniper, or they overwhelm defenses even a little which means more and more surplus stack up until they roll over everything. even with the buffs...

To be fair, boosting Airsacs didn't really work in LPAC maps until someone updated/improved the mod script a few months ago

That last one certainly was one of the creeper world 4 maps of all time

Didn't realize moving a shield into position was so dang effective, whenever I tried it they always seemed to get overrun by the creep and not be able to push it out quick enough

Use two shilds and piggy back them

Petition to fund a supercomputer for Tom so we can see what 1000 blobs per second looks like.

Picturing myself being in front of hundreds of blobs (18:12) or the cyclopean wave of creep (20:16). There's no hope left. The only thing you can do is wait for the end.

Wow that first map’s AI was incredible, I would certainly like to see how it does on a larger map

Those giant blob waves makes ke think of the mummy movie when the scarabs burst out of the ground 😂

Looks like a WH40K world getting overrun by Tyranids

It was very enjoyable watching Tom test the limits of how many blobs his computer could possibly render before leading to a super inferno

I found mesh to be really helpful. Especially since you can mesh across many of the air gaps - pop and egg and them mesh it.

The one thing more terrifying than staring down a huge creep wave? Staring down an endless wave of blobs.

The AI in that first maps nicely proactive, it is another of the lpac's that lets you place eggs (or let blobs drop creep) in the void and then use mesh to create new paths but the aggressive pushing means that doing so doesn't guarantee making life easy. Definitely chuckled at the windows loading ring flashing up when the eggs started deciding to burst

that blob map was like watching a bunch of roaches scatterXD

Creepy Tom: "One second has passed."

One of the creeper world 4 videos of all time! Really good one today tom

That blob wave was beyond punching a toddler

I really like these multi-map videos!

a good day for tom to mix up cannons and towers

18:14 reminds me of that story in the film Creepshow about the cockroaches!

I'll be honest, I've been watching about 6 of these Creeper World vidoes, I have still no idea about the game mechanics or what is happening. :)

Basically, the creep (blue fluid) is an evil fluid that consumes all artificial structures, so the player must construct weapons that destroy the creep or the various "creatures" that the creeper produces. The player can construct a nullifier to shut off the various creeper structures, which is typically a win condition.

In the base game you put down towers to fight the goo, but its got an extensive scripting language as a part of the level editor and so people have switched up the game into like five+ game modes. Fight the creep as the tower controller (aka the normal game), fight the creep as an fps (usually supported by a 'dumb' tower building script), play as the creep (take erns (powerups) from destroyed towers to place creeper units), light play as creep (upgrade creeper units over time, some direct attack methods, can't place creeper units), cursor-based play as creep (just hover cursor over a spot to make creep)... There's CSM too (basically a pretty simple puzzle gamemode), but it didn't really make the jump from CW3 well. Only seen a few of them, I don't think Tom has played any on the channel. The light play as creep one are usually unlosable, although the first map he played had actual tower AI so it probably was losable. The last 6 minutes was just Tom having fun with a bug in the lpac script

If you want an explanation then keep reading if not then stop, I guess. In the normal game mode you are playing as the Rift Lab (humans) trying to stop the creep (self replicating machines) from taking over the world. But Tom is playing what is known as the LPAC mode, which is a Light Play As Creep mode where instead of playing as the humans you are playing as the creep, trying to destroy the humans. In LPAC you get a few things you can do e.g. Boosts: which boosts the creep buildings Eggs: which when eggs are popped they generate a lot of creep Rocks: which just destroys a building with some buildings having a higher target preference. You also get the ability to place and remove mesh which if connected to an emitter makes the creep harder to remove but also creep hates leaving the mesh so it will not flow as freely The creep buildings are: Emitter: Generates creep at set intervals Skimmer Factory: produces skimmers, which when they die stops human buildings in an aoe around them for some time, basically an EMP Blob nest: spawns blobs, which destroys a single building Spore Launcher: Spawns eggs and shoots spores which are basically creep mortars Air Sac Cauldron: Spawns air sacs which they fly around and generate creep blobs underneath them, which they then drop at some random point

wow I don't think tom has borken creeper world this bad before

the blob inflation is real, the sniper economy crying at the site

I kinda wanted to see the entire map get nuked by rocks in a second, but hey. It was a lot of fun already

Sniper Tower: S-Sir is that some new weird brown creep coming at us? Other Tower: No son...it just a wall of blobs... Sniper Tower: ....It was an honor sir.

"Achievement Unlock" Fear of Roaches!

My old Earthdawn GM would refer to those snipers as being in a target rich environment.

LET'S ROOOOCCKK!!! God that just made my day, what a reference

7:12 It looks like destructible terrain - even after being destroyed - leaves something on the ground that blocks mesh painting. And mesh needs a unbroken connection to a emitter to become active.

blobs look like its in starship troopers where there is so many bugs

Imagine fighting a creeper AI that works like regular PAC :O It would just move emitters around to get closer to you and build launchers to exploid your weakspots.... Man, this is a terrifying idea!

TOM! I LOVE CREEEPER WORLD 4 PLEASE POST MORE!

Real Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind wibes

Some maps like this let you mesh the void when creep is flowing on it, Tom. I just played this one a bit ago. Made a few extra bridges and it threw off the AI.

The blobs in the last map kind of remind me of the scarab bottles from the mummy movies

okay, that was the evilest I've heard you laugh with all the blobs at your disposal.

The reason for "don't delete please" is because you can destroy/delete the blue shield wall stuff.

That last one was effectively a JoJo episode: One second has passed...

That last map reminded me of Klendathu.

destroying your computer for the sake of science.. or art? not sure which, but it was a sight to behold!

I used eggs to bridge the gap with mesh and stop them building in my zones. THen I got bored and started deleting towers.

On today's episode of absolute memz: how many blobs? THE ANSWER IS YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

These videos are so good

*A-Bam!*

4:12 ATTACK EYEBROWS! THEY ARE VERY CROSS

Bam and we’ve got a map to you aswell tom

So the first map, I literally just buffed the Emitter and just let the Creep flow like a river. Edit: and then there's the third map... because you get unlimited boosts for an unknown amount of time, it's entirely possible to just buff the Emitter directly next to the Lab all the way above 1000 and win the map within minutes, you'll even see common times across the board for that map where people beat it in less than three minutes and its either because of them buffing the Emitter or buffing the Blobs.

@17:29 awww, the dev should have used instanced rendering, and then it probably would have been fine :/

Daily reminder that Tom is an amazing person and to thank him for all he has done/will do - Day 1161 OOO sweet, love a multi map episode :D That first one was real nice, and a very cool AI OOOOOO love mini maps, this one being no exception, and 3:27 might be a Tom record God, that was alot of Blobs, Eggs and Creep on that last one :D. A super hard map indeed, although it being just sandbox/performance testing in nature is just some simple goofy fun

Say yesh to blobs

What happened to the old "More emitters is more good!"?

Hardest on you CPU maybe. ;P

if i was a sniper i would want a raise if I survived that

Gg

Map names please? Since yano he has a phobia of adding it to the description

And again, Tom forgets that he can drop eggs on void and mesh over, to cut in behind enemy lines.

These 20seconds ... hm autoclicker ? :D

You're impressed that the AI can move all those units simultaneously? Umm, you do know that the computer is, like, running the whole game, right? Of course it's able to move everything all at once. That's how computer games work, Tom.
