    hello, I speculate a third secret ending, where the wolf saves you from being burned in the valley, since the wolf always seems to know where you are stepping, or the merchant saves you, if there is a way to save the merchant, he probably saved you in the end of being burned, but it would have to kill the "three" or in this case burn the talking tree on the first day before dawn, as at dawn they would probably kill the merchant... any theory on who kills and writes a liar on the merchant's helmet? ANOTHER MISSING POINT IS THAT EVEN IF YOU KILL THE DOCTOR, HE WILL APPEAR NEXT TO THE SLEEPING BEING!!! I try all kinds of theories, congratulations on the video

    I liked the analysis, but I have a big complaint: I have a lot of trouble hearing your voice, because how naturally raspy it is and how low the volume is compared to the rest of the sounds and music.
    Saying all that, I really liked how you explained the story and characters.

    Super solid start for your channel. You pull off "the voice" without being obnoxious which is a truly rare skill :p Plus your editing is on point as is your sound mixing and most importantly (to me) the script is well written and immersive. It'll be neat seeing how you choose to move forward from here and watching what you've already done well improve as you hone your skills. Oh and anyone not the content creator reading this yep they are making more videos, I asked them, just be patient.

    A good tip: have the music at least half as loud as your audio
    This is can be a big issue as the music can drown out what you are saying, which kinda is the point of the video…
    Silent hill home coming did this on the boat scene where it was a exposition dump for why they are going out to the lake but subtitles or turning up the volume absurdly would allow us to know what was going on…

    Hey this video was awesome but if you want to do more type of content like this then I recomend playing "fear and hunger" and "fear and hunger 2 termina" its an Horror, RPG, resorce manegment ,immersive simulator. The battle system is very diffrent then in other rpgmaker games when normaly one enemy is count as one enemy, one enemy has limbs like two Arms two legs one torso and one head a that count as an enemy and the two hands = two actions for the enemys

    I do have a question though, is there a reason why when you explain the story your voice is a lot more quiet than when reading written in game things?
    I had to turn my sound up a lot to hear you talk but then it was too loud when you came to reading in game stuff.

    Fantastic first topic for a video! Darkwood is extremely underrated and deserves more people talking about it. Just one suggestion for the future - please try talking without the vocal fry, it's very unpleasant to listen to and distracts from the points you're making.

    • @CovetousCommoner
      @CovetousCommoner  7 месяцев назад +3

      Hey! I appreciate the kind words. Only time I will be addressing this, the vocal fry is mostly due to me being sick for about half the recording, later in the video you can tell it's a lot less fried and that's just my regular voice. Hopefully I'll be able to record in a better condition on my upcoming vid!

    Great video, but I had to stop part way. The sound mixing was just to distracting and the volume at points being too loud then quiet the next was too much. When you read letters it got cringe inducing loud and the back and forth was annoying as I was listening in my vehicle. Tried to watch later and still the same. Then music was too loud to hear you much of the time. Great content but got to remember sound is just as important for a video and your hard work can be ruined by it too. Gotta to listen in other sources when editing otherwise that hard work can be for nought.

      I credited the steam post and the creator of the post in the video and description and entice people to go check out the written post. I did a lot to change the script though, actually, as the steam post doesn't really fit a narrative commentary style and there was a lot of stuff left out that I used the wiki for and a lot of liberties I took to not fully plagiarize someone else's work. But thanks for your input!
      PS, most commentary videos like this just read the wiki on their videos, so the criticism is dull at best 🙂
