Thoughts on the mine and the first week...


Ok, so the mine turned out to be a dud.  The negative comment has brought up a point that I wanted to mention though.  There will be a lot of stuff just like the abandoned mine where I just have no idea what I am doing.  I don’t really like to just go read forums and find out everything about the game before I play, I like to experience it for myself.  I have only been playing for about 3 weeks so I haven't seen all there is to see.  Also, a lot of the experiences in the game can be rare and depending on how you play, and the world that is generated, you might not find them very quickly.  The point is that even after I have been playing for a year you might see me do stuff like a newbie.  I hope that is some of the fun. 

I just want to play the game, try and do a good job commentating and hope people enjoy it.  I want to take feedback and improve the videos and I want to build a world with history that we can all enjoy.

Anyway, thanks for all the feedback and comments and especially support.  This is hard and I want to be good at it but I know I have a long way to go.  If you keep watching, leaving comments and giving thumbs up I will continue to make the videos and I am sure they will eventually get much better.  :-)  Or maybe I will be famous for making bad videos.

One final comment on that.  The videos "getting better" will not mean that I change what I do.  I will always mix adventure and tutorial and just do what I like to do in the game.  I think I will get better with sound levels, light levels, some production quality, and commentary as we go.  DarkMatterShot mentioned that he didn’t want to see me change y approach or fast forward or skip exploring sessions.  I agree.  I will do a better job of doing the grunt work off camera and capture all of my exploring/brainstorming/building sessions for you guys to see.

Please continue to leave feedback and please tell everyone you know that likes this kind of stuff about the series.  I am going to keep this blog up to date as much as possible and as I get more comfortable with the video process I will do a better job here.

Thanks again and God Bless!

  1. You are doing a great job.
    I enjoy watching even though the "tutorial parts" are mostly stuff I already know.
    Just keep up the good work, and you will be rewarded with even more views. I'm sure about that :)
