Howdy everyone! Still alive here. 

Here I present a draft of the first half of my next video; A Doom mod called MyHouse.wad. This video has turned into a bigger one than expected but I have at least half of it in a watchable state here, a good 47 minutes of it. 

This is being shared not just to prove I'm working to you lovely people (thank you all again for your support) but also to get some feedback on a few aspects, if any of you are so inclined. Nothing is final right now.

The main things I'm looking for feedback on are:

Can you hear everything comfortably? (I'm using a new compression method for my voiceover, and there's another method for readings inside the video. It's also a v e r y audio intensive video)

Can you see everything comfortably? (Some sections are dark. Unavoidably dark. Easy enough to explain)

Does the video flow well? (The structure of the video is different, needing to be to show off MyHouse.wad at its best)

Do feel free to comment about whatever if any of you care to do so though. It's why I'm sharing this draft after all. I can't promise to implement all feedback, but it can certainly be considered. For example, yes it does need to be this long. 

I have also changed the tiers on the pledges so that all Patrons will get access to drafts. It makes sense that I want as wide a net as possible with these drafts, getting feedback from everyone, rather than money-gating input.

Here's the link below again, in case you didn't see it up there. I also put the link to the Doomworld post containing the mod in case any of you want to play it yourself.

I hope to have this finished before the end of the month, but I will update you if this no longer looks possible.

That's the thing with this video, it's bigger on the inside.

Going to post the comment here just in case commenting on the video itself would expose it in some way. Having just recently watched Mandalore's Marathon series, it's neat how both Build and Marathon Engine (and Aleph One by extension) demonstrate that vertical level design is something that many, myself included, take for granted these days. As for the feedback suggestions you made, so far everything is fine, but I'll comment if there's anything I feel is particularly egregious.

OK actually, at about 8:27-8:28, as you open the front door to the house to try and leave the level, there's a Discord notification ping. Not sure if that was left in intentionally or if your recording software picked it up by mistake.
