factorio challenge with audio commentary? (diode.zone)

I am thinking of recording a series of episodes where I try to beat factorio with the smallest possible ore settings. It would be vanilla factorio.

In this video I show what the voice recording might sound like, but I need your feedback if this is pleasant to watch/hear etc.

This is the first time of me doing anything like this.

Hey, not to discourage you at all, but from what I can tell most viewers are a bit bored by watching episodic Factorio videos. I would recommend creating longer-form videos that encompass your entire challenge rather than an entire series of it. It's a lot less video output for the effort you put in, but you have the advantage of being able to narrate the entire challenge as a story. If you want some good examples of this, check out Dosh Doshington's content. He doesn't post too often, but when he does it always does well.

Damn. I think you're right.

I started doing this because it's easy to produce for me. I don't really know how to cut video or do voice-over for existing video.

I know about Dosh Doshington, Michael Hendriks, Ryan Brown etc.

Not sure what to do now :/

If it's available for you you could always stream instead. A lot of people will stream Factorio live, then assemble a narrated video for YouTube from the VODs.
