love this looking forward to all the automation in this series
Well as promised we may not end up doing things the fastest way but it will be automated (eventually) if only editing and my work schedule was as easy to automate 🤦♂️
You have more didication than me. I certainly understand the editing grind and the rambling spirals that cause so much cut footage that open sandbox games can cause. Half the reason I stuck to linear story games in my short stint at trying to do let's plays.
But, as others said, please be careful of burnout. I certainly agree, you could have probably made 2 or 3 separate videos with all this footage. Shown some of the real time building processes and explaining your logic and ideas for how and why doing something a certain way. And personally, I was fine with the manual mining time-lapse, no idea how you did the overlay but it looked nice. Didn't feel like it dragged on longer than really needed.
Thanks for the feedback new content will be out this week
Yeah the burnout can be real especially with the type of work i do for a day job meaning i travel at least once a week for 2 - 4 days at a time working 18 hours a day for the away time.
I am thinking of taking a hybrid approach moving forward releasing the rambling videos as more of what i would do when i used to livestream but just speeding up the grindy parts then maybe for every 4 episodes i will release one of the short form versions to combine them into a 15 min or less cinematic as i don't know if people will be as interested in my rambling videos
Time will tell
Also that mining timelapse was captured by a second character in spectator mode and then i masked it frame by frame to move it with the outline the hand drill makes
For the more cinematic shots it was just playing around with placement of the spectator cam and finding that when you are outside of the hole in spectator it stays filled with light but also that being in the dark doesn't completely waste the footage like i thought it would
I like A LOT the SHORT video. I would have show even less manual digging, and maybe a cutaway and an explanation of your final rig, and what did go wrong while building it.
Thanks for the feedback, @ericseidel4940! 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed the shorter video. I'll definitely keep your suggestions in mind for future episodes. Showing less manual digging and adding more explanations about the final rig and any issues encountered sounds like a great idea. Stay tuned for more improvements!
Always good to see new SE content creators and i like the goal you have set with automation. I also like what i have seen from the teaser and looking forward to see what the future brings.
However i have a few things i feel i must mention for your own sake. In my opinion you have spend way too much time spend on editing and compressing the gameplay, at this rate there will never be a series, but you will probably burn out long before that. The editing also almost seems to be more of the focus than the actual engineering in the game, i am not sure that is what you are going for ? Take your time, there is no rush, this game progress could easily have been 2 x 30 mins episodes with way less editing and way less stress on yourself.
You say you are inspired by Splitsie, take a look at his series again, and see how much raw footage he actually uses, and taking his time to show the practical details as well.
This is just my opinion based on my fear of you burning out on the project early on for no good reason.
If i am completely wrong and you are having a great time doing it like this, then ignore this, because most important of all, you should have fun doing it.
Looking forward to future episodes
Thank you so much for your comment, @abaloth. It’s been a stressful few weeks, and I really needed to see this today. Your kind words and constructive feedback mean a lot to me.
You’re absolutely right about the editing and compressing the gameplay. I did spend a lot of time on it, and it led to some burnout. I was worried that my non-stop rambling and tendency to get sidetracked might not be engaging enough to keep people's attention, so I thought heavy editing was the solution.
I really appreciate your advice and will definitely take it on board. Moving forward, I’ll try my best to retain the same level of quality while taking more time to show the practical details and raw footage, just like Splitsie does. Most importantly, I’ll focus on having fun with the process.
Looking forward to sharing more episodes with you. Thanks again for your support and insights!
@@sh3rmangaming I am happy my comment was helpful to you.
Remember your video editing software should be a helpful tool and not a burden that you feel you MUST use. Sure getting used to different features of your software takes time, but i think you already know how to not spend too much time on a simple timelapse and cutting parts out. Slowly learn other features of your software and use them as needed during episodes. Enjoy the journey not only in evolving your thriving base in SE but also in learning the software tools you need or want to work with.
And also i WANT to hear your ramble, i want hear what is going through your head during design process of your base, ships, rovers, drills rigs and so on. I want to see you fiddle in control panel to make that contraption you just build work just the right way for you. I want to see you struggle with some problems only to later see how you reach a solution. Take me with you on the Space Engineer journey.
Don't be too afraid of what we viewers like or don't like to see, instead think about what _you_ don't like to see on other peoples videos, and avoid doing that. Also things that you don't mind watching or even like about other peoples videos is probably things you actually should keep in your content. ( as an example, I am pretty sure you don't have a problem with Splitsie "rambling" in fact i believe it is probably one of the reasons you watch him )
Again thanks for the constructive criticism it really does help.
I am taking everything on board and trying to get this whole content thing figured out and like you said I do want to enjoy the journey.
Heya thanks for the feedback
This is my first actual attempt at making videos but have years as a live streamer i was wanting to ensure my content would bring something new and different and enjoyed making the cinematic style but agree it left a lot lacking in terms of showcasing the actual engineering of this game
Moving forwards i plan to showcase a lot more of the grind and my rambling on to try and fix the issues i create then as a once a month kinda thing release the cinematic version that captures the months work i feel this will better cater to what i have seen everyone wanting and help with not needing to edit as much for each indivdual episode.
Let me know your thoughts there is a poll up in the community to vote on the type of content you would prefer moving forwards
Engagement for the flying engagement monster... I mean algorithm.
Thanks a ton! 🎉 We're definitely feeding the engagement monster... I mean algorithm. 😂 Glad you enjoyed the drill rig setup! More epic builds and shenanigans coming your way. Stay tuned!
best luck on your youtube journey!
Thanks a ton! 🎉 We really appreciate the support.
You mentioned listing mods, but didn't end up listing them.
I noticed at least two interesting looking blocks that I didn't recognize, so I'm curious what you've added.
Heya yeah my mod explanations went on and on and i butchered them but the main mods that actually got used in the episode were
AQD Small Grid expansion which allowed for the small grid basic refinery on our starter rover
AQD Concrete Mod
Better Stone
One of the mods you may have seen that we haven't delved into yet was L.W.T.S (Lord Waders Tiered Systems)
Great vid buddy
Thanks 👍
good luck on the future of your channel brew. much love from your mate across the tasman.
Thank you so much, mate! It's great to hear from you. Your support means a lot. Cheers
amazing editing! Keep it on!🤩
Thank you so much! 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed the editing. Your support means a lot! Stay tuned for more exciting content! 🚀
Yes a machine ther will do all the work on its on
I am the same i have started many worlds and as time has gone on i have find the resource gathering process to get harder every time so the drill rig is there to remove the need for mining for a decent while
Lets gooo
Thanks, Papa Poos! 🙌 Your support means a ton! Maybe it's time for a Papa Poos-inspired base in Space Engineers too? 🤔🚀 Your builds in Minecraft and the Ark base have set a high bar! Excited to hear your thoughts on this episode. 🌌✨
@@sh3rmangaming i really enjoyed it i wana see more maybe ill have to give space engineers a crack
@@Papapoo454 Thanks, Papa Poos! 🎉 I’m thrilled you enjoyed the video! Space Engineers is such a blast, especially with all the automation possibilities. I’d love to see what you come up with if you decide to jump in! 🚀 Let me know if you need any tips or have questions when you start. More episodes are on the way, so stay tuned! 😄
Is that rover available for download from the workshop. Or is one you created? It looks pretty good!
It’s self made but I can make it available
@@sh3rmangaming Don't feel you have to but it would be pretty awesome if you did.
@@npulliam2344 the only reason i didn’t put it up already is I thought it was a little too basic and didn’t look as nice as I was hoping it would. I will jump into my design world make sure it’s survival ready and release it as a respawn rover this week
Gonna where it with my friends
Thanks for the enthusiasm! 😄 Yes, the machine will automate the work for you. If you and your friends want to build it yourselves, check out the tutorial video. It’ll guide you step by step. Enjoy building and have fun!
can find the tutorial HERE: ruclips.net/video/ve_2zTOZk-k/видео.html
Part 2 should be up very soon
