I just deleted all of my videos. I didn't really like them, I was also very upset that developers just didn't watch. I'll probably get back to it after awhile if I can get a better recording device so the audio doesn't sound like shit, and if developers who ask me to play their games will give a facking hoot about it.

Really? Wow. I agree that the developers should definitely watch the videos since that'd the entire point, but there were plenty of other people who enjoyed them. Like me, for instance.

I'd have given a hoot. And even a holler, maybe. :<
Don't let your emotions force you into rash decisions.

By all means, I agree you need a break, but what you just did is destructive.

EDIT: From a concerned fan.
Agreed, deleting them all was a blow to the people who enjoyed the videos, as well as to the members of the community who may have found them helpful or informative.

I say don't commit to any videos if the person behind the games you're playing aren't 100% behind it from now on. Don't let a few bad folks get you down.
I'd appreciate a Let's Try of my MGS-game. I just think it got dropped rather quickly, making those 2.5 years not feel very meaningful. I'd fall bait for anyone that shows any activity of trying it out and commenting on stuff, expressing their opinion.

where did i hear this before stop crying and put them back up
oops please ignore my asshole friend/sibling (who is actually me) who got on my account

i havent watched many/any of your vdos in full but based on what i can remember i think your audience will be more willing if you cut out shit nobody wants to watch and made your commentary more concise cause i remember the runtime being p. ridi
also im sure people are watching but there isnt much you can say about LTs because they are at their core just commentary and not a creative product theres not much to commentate on on commentary and im guessing this is why they are 'for developers' or whatever

buuut if the devs dont wanna come hoo
what are you going to do

Not make them anymore. I didn't take them down because I didn't have a lot of viewership. I never cared about that. It's the fact that developers didn't watch them is why I realized it was mostly pointless. -_- I'll probably get back to it, but I need a break. Also, if I cut out so much, what's the point? I already cut out battles. Remember, this is like a live beta-test for developers to watch.

I'd watch all the ones you do of mine if you'd, y'know, do them! Even if you left the battles in, I wouldn't care! In fact, I'd be happier if you did, because that's where the bulk of the gameplay is anyway.

I don't know about the other games you LT'd, but AAG was a finished game, so it's likely Neok wasn't interested in going back to rehash things. Demos are better served by this kind of feedback, since the developers are still in the process of making them.

I think these would go over better if you stuck with demos, and as was suggested before, when you start up again, make sure the developers of the games you LT are actually interested in having one. Like I keep telling you I am!!!
I watched all of the Space Funeral videos. :<


Also I found them pretty interesting and helpful in terms of breaking down a lot of the assumptions I had about how someone new to the game would actually play it and navigate the world etc! I watched some of the vids for other games too and they were good.

Okay chums. I am going to restart Let's Try when I figure out this audio issue. Meantime, I have this document here. If you want me to LT you game, fill it out foo.

I am going to get back to this once I tweak around with the audio settings.

lol thanks for doing this. Ironically enough I agree with all of your points about the intro, I think it is the weakest part of the game with the bad transitions and too much going on. I am planning on remaking the entire intro chapter once I'm done with the final dungeon but I can assure you the game gets better after the prologue once you get into the actual game.

As for Darius 'killing' the bad guy it does come back later on and explain just what happened and why Darius thought he was dead. I didn't think about the plot hole of why Darius would just arrest the bad guy when he came back, which was an excellent point you raised. Then again, in the new intro I am making for the game I am planning on getting rid of the prison scenes completely and reworking how the bad guy is introduced so that plot hole will be solved. Part of the confusing-ness of the intro was from an attempt to keep aspects of the plot cryptic to kind of encourage the player to want to keep playing to find out whats going on, but it seems that idea backfired.

I enjoyed it and hope you do continue it despite some things pissing you off lol. You have left great feedback so far.

Hey! Thanks bub. I don't mean any offense or anything when I play these games, haha! I am continuing on to play it.

I just have a really potty and mean mouth when I play. :-P I don't think you should give up or anything, but you should go back and tweak things up a bit. I recommend making and outline and seeing if things stack up right and make sense,
