The writer mentioned not wanting to force the player to read walls of text, but this game had me ecstatic for every single actual text wall I found!
That’s because there aren’t a ton of them, imagine if there were way more, the player would get bored of reading all those walls of text, but because there are so few the quality of the writing can be better and the player is exited to read them
ironically they are actually a 'walls' of text

I'm a lifelong lurker. I barely ever comment on anything - partly because my one comment is going to get lost in the sea of others, partly because I can't be bothered anyway.
But here I really want to chime in. Dude, you've got the talent (attention to detail and a feel or design) AND the skill (you took an idea, turned it into a project and crafted a tangible, thought-out piece out of it). I was hooked from the intro.
Life's understandable. You've got things going on and that's perfectly fine. You're doing what any proper person would. But if you ever decide to take this up again, know you've got loyal fans that'll be excited for whatever you'll come up with.
Best of luck!
Wow. THANK YOU! That seriously means the world. I’ve had a few false starts with projects since this one (developers can be tough to pin down when you don’t have a big following), but I’m working on one I’m excited about!
well said!
The line "I don't know how to survive this place without you. (I don't know how to be myself without you)" hasn't left my brain since I read it. Truly the writing of this game is stellar.
I was petrified for a while when I read that and Im pretty bad with names but if I remenber correctly the name of the missing never escaped my mind. Was it Foli? And there was also a Keek
Where was it? I cant remember, I know I have read it somewhere but where?

This feels like a noclip documentary, incredibly well made. I was dismayed to see that this is the only video you ended up making on this channel.
thanks for putting in so much effort on my favorite game of all time
I have never been more surprised at a subscriber count. I got halfway through this video and thought to myself “ah, this must be one of the multi-million sub documentary channels I just haven’t heard of yet, I’d better subscribe so I remember to check them out more later.” My jaw was on the floor a moment later. Less than 500 subs for a video this high quality is absolutely criminal, and I hope the low numbers aren’t what dissuaded you from pursuing more projects like this. I’m very confident that if you put out a video like this every so often, heck, even just once a year, your channel would absolutely explode. This video is incredibly well made, I really hope we get to see more of the same quality from you whenever you’re able to.
Best game I’ve ever played. Definitely deserves more attention.
It’s come to my attention that this is the only video posted to this channel. This was an amazing video with an amazing subject matter! I would love to see more videos like this on here! I also hope that this video gets more views, it is really shocking how little views there are, even with this amount of effort and amazing-ness that went into this video!
Surprised the numbers I'm seeing are so low, but that's just kinda how first videos go. Very excited to see what comes next.
Thanks, Sev! I have a few projects in the works at the moment. Keep an eye out, and thanks so much for the sub!
I know i'm late to the party but damn... The production quality is unreal for the low numbers. Awesome coverage of an awesome game. Excited to see more!
Thanks so much!! The feedback is much appreciated. I'm working on a couple more videos, so be sure and subscribe and share the channel!
outer wilds devs deserve more docs, props for being the first one to interview the engineers on screen that im aware of!
I was surprised to see this is the sole video for this channel. Not only is this an excellent video essay for what I think is one of the best all-time games, but I feel as though this channel had a huge amount of potential.
Crossing fingers for a revival? heh
I like just love the words he said: "It's a Miracle, This is not the way videogames is suppose to be made" and he said "Lets see how far we can push this" 17:03.
17:35 That guys shirt makes me wanna stair at it for a while to see if I can make an image of it in my mind like a four leaf clover lol.
I just stumbled across this video after looking for Outer Wilds content to binge again after finishing their Echoes of the Eye DLC.
I can't believe how few views this has, from the bottom of my heart this is a really well constructed piece; Your commentary in narration, interviewing, and editing is really strong, and you've blended them all together really effectively.
It's seriously unjust that this has so few views, and I noticed you haven't posted anything since this video. I really hope you put more things out, because this video essay is easily on par with some of the really decorated and lauded content out there, you've found a really strong voice already with this first piece, and I think we'd all be missing out not hearing what else you have to share.
Wow THANK you!! That's incredibly heartening. I pressed pause on this project due to low views on the first vid, getting a new job in the industry, and also having a kid. Life hit all at once, and something had to go.
Your comment has really inspired me, though... I think it's time to jump back in. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right??
@@nothingventured9753 Hell yes!! Can't wait to see what you do 💙
Please keep working on this channel! @Nothing Ventured
Couldn't have said it any better. This is really high quality, and his commentary is actually quite precise. It expressed what I felt about the game better than I could.
How does this video not have more views? The script sells us your ideas clearly and concisely. The editing of the creators’ testimonials combined with your own thoughts helped me understand more why I love this game so much. Can’t wait to see what else this channel produces.
Hey this video is brilliantly produced, I was really shocked at the view count you come across so professionally! Best of luck to you please don't stop
Kelli Broome thank you!! I just started the channel, so hopefully we see some growth after the video makes the rounds. I have a lot of episode ideas in the pipeline, so be sure and subscribe!
@@nothingventured9753 My girlfriend and I just finished the whole video now, and you really did my favourite video game justice, especially noting how much of a technical Marvel this is. Venture on cowboy
@@nothingventured9753 yeah this is great, going to send it to my fellow outer wilds obsessed friends, thank you for making it.
Ember Twin used to be even thoughter to navigate? Jesus
Great video, man. I was utterly blown away by The Outer Wilds, really cool to see some developer commentary. You got my sub.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed!

A high quality video on my favorite game of the last year from a brand new channel? I'm in for the long haul here.
Nice that the video is just over 22 minutes long.
I've never been the kind of person who enjoys open ended games, I struggle to enjoy open world games and I don't tend to have fun just exploring and yet outer wilds has easily become my favourite game of all time. initially it was fun to just mess about with the unique physics and get killed in funny ways and just experimenting. and by the time that started to get old for me I was already gripped by the story enough to want to follow those threads. Im glad I experienced it this way as well. by the time I started to follow up on some of those curiosities I had already acquired decent amount of clues but they were scattered and a bit random. i never solidly followed one thread I always jumped between them so for my entire time playing the game I was very confused with where all of this was leading but by the time I got to the end they all came together at the same time and I had this massive moment of realisation and pure excitement as I suddenly had answers to all of my questions.
holy shit how does this only have 11k views, this is seriously underated, although it seems just youtube in general doesn't seem to give Outer Wilds the love it deserves, maybe doing videos about other games would be interesting.
The production quality on this video is amazing, especially considering this channel is just starting out. You got my sub and I hope to see more stuff soon!
They never did
I finished the game yesterday night and i cant stop thinking about my experience with it. OW is really special
I really like your presentation. All the best bro. Subscribed. post more videos.
more videos = more authority
Thanks so much! I've unfortunately (and also very fortunately) had an extremely eventful year since this video, which has kept me from devoting a ton of time to the next NV projects. A production job in the industry + our first baby has eaten up ALL of my free time lately. However, I'm finally finding some balance now and have a few more videos I want to finish up and post. More soon, and thanks for the sub!
Amazing video! And one of the few I can actually show my friends who havent played it
I bet that pretty soon there’s either going to be a new game development engine that is designed for outer wilds type games where every object you place is automatically a acted upon by the gravity of every other object and it’s optimized for everything moving, or there’s gonna be an update to unity or another engine that will do the same
I remember my first explorations of Brittle Hollow I actually went below the surface in my ship and landed inside the Nomai Base under the pole
A while later I still couldn't figure out the Ash Twin teleporters so I ended up landing upside down to reach the black hole forge.
Sso hey! if uh.. you ever want someone to playtest your new games then uh...
Also idk why but I find the Nomai really adorable
Why doesn't this have a lot more views? This is like an extension of the documentary 😄
Brilliant documentary and commentary, love it. Can't wait to see what comes next!
I really hope you make more videos because this was a wonderful video I enjoyed very much. Thank you for uploading this❤
What a beautiful produced video!
So much Attention to detail!
New subscriber right here!!
This is a very high quality video! I was surprised to see this is your first video posted, considering how professional it is. If you pursued it, I think you could make some really good stuff.
Also Outer Wilds is a true delight that I can't praise highly enough!
holy hell i did not expect that low of a sub count well, sir it maybe too late but youve got one from me. Venture on!
Great video, I finished the game a couple months ago and I’m enamored with the experience I had playing, unlike any game I’ve ever played. Loved this and I’ll be looking out for your future projects.
I really enjoyed this video, I personally believe this game was really underrated and the overall production quality of this video is amazing! Exited to see new videos!
Great video, can't wait to see more project from you!
This is a beautiful video. Thanks for your work
Such a good video man! I enjoyed every minute as I enjoyed every minute playing the game
Wow what a great quality this Video has.
In technical and even more the content itself. Thumbs up for that. Looking forward for more of that! :)
I absolutely share your view on games I think. So in the way of appreciation for games which do creative things on their own ways. Outer Wilds got like my favourite Game of all time.
And Pathologic 2 is maybe the most interesting one. It seemed to me that this channels intention was to show these standout games in the aspect of creativity and uniqueness. I dont know if you will produce something again here but for the case (and this video) i´ll gladly follow you here for the hope of more :)
Anyway all the best for whatever!
Can’t wait for more videos of yours
4:58
im still chewing my way through the DLC but this is the FIRST time I noticed that you can actually find Gabbro's ship!!
This just might be the best video game essay I have seen on Outer Wilds. Hell, it might be the best video essay I have seen, period - and I have seen *a lot* of them. Your excellent pacing makes this an absolute delight to watch. I can only imagine how much it must suck to get as few views and subs as this after putting what I expect are countless hours into this.
I subscribed hoping that one day I see a new video of yours appear on my feed.
Thank you!! I so appreciate this comment. I had a couple new videos in the works for Pathologic 2 and another game, but several life things happened all at once (in addition to getting very low views haha) so I had to step away from the project for a time. People seem to have started noticing the channel again, so I've started work on a new project that could be really fun! Dev interviews should begin some time in December.
@@nothingventured9753 That's fantastic to hear! I'm looking forward to seeing those videos.
When I first finished Outer Wilds I though that was one of the best games I ever played...now months later and still thinking about it I can say: This is the BEST game I ever played
I like how every single video talking about Outer Wilds put the End Times music at 20 minutes =D
Great video about a wonderful game. Thanks for making this!
Kelsey: So can we do the storytelling without walls of text?
Alex: Well yes, but actually no.
I wouldn't imagine a puzzle soulsgame !!
Really good video on this game. Souch love for this game out there. New sub for sure.
Nice video! Your audio balance is strange though, when music is playing it is difficult to hear what people are saying, especially during the intro. I'm using headphones and don't normally hear this issue.
18:05 noo you forgot the space suit D:
Based on what I've played of this game and it's massive success I'm excited to see what they do in the future.
7:06 "we didnt want to give anyone walls of text"
heh
This video is great.
CainTheBoss thanks so much! I have a couple other projects in development right now. Stay tuned, and thanks for the sub!
it's a game "free of conflict" until the damn sun station enters the game
hey buddy! still waiting with bated breath for your next project! 😉
This was great but I see that it's already more two and a half years old and there was never any other content uploaded. Are you ok? I'd love to see more from you.
Hey! I'm alive. Right after this video released I had a kid, got a new job in the industry, and then COVID happened, so it's been difficult to pull another larger project like this together. I have one in the works right now, though!
@@nothingventured9753 Ah, great! Congratulations on the kid and the new job. :)
Very nice video, even better than the noclip one ! It's crazy it doesn't have more views !
Thanks so much!! I really appreciate that. I'm hoping to gain an audience organically, so please share!
Why is there only one video in your channel
What are those games in the first few second of the video pls? I know one of them is "What Remains of Edith Finch" but no other.
INSIDE, Pathologic 2, Heaven's Vault, What Remains of Edith Finch, and Disco Elysium.
You never made any more videos 😿
I'm working on one right now! The developer hasn't been as readily available as the Mobius peeps, which is kind of becoming part of the story. Hope to have it ready soon!
Nothing Ventured Can’t wait 👍
@@nothingventured9753 😭
Enjoyable of video, but the music is tad too loud.
14:20 where is that in the game? I don't think I ever found that
TheBlueGoldenHawk The starting planet, a bit of a flight from the main settlement, I believe.
@@nothingventured9753 is it related to the geyser system near the model ship?
TheBlueGoldenHawk it is. Some of those canals connect, although I think the entrance to that particular section shown in the video needs to be accessed from the surface at another location on the planet.
@@nothingventured9753 oh awesome, I'll have to jump back in and see everything for that Archaeologist trophy/achievement. Awesome job on the video, by the way!
All the geysers on Timber Hearth connect via an underground system of water currents
Great vid! At Minute 22 he mentiones how zelda has come up with the same ideas they did. After having played tears of the kingdom I can definitly say it was an accident and mobius are far smarter than nintendo! New Zelda puzzles are inferior to outer wilds
Cool video, very well done...I think for your next one it might be better if, visually, you let the game play more while you are speaking - the cuts to yourself talking kind of took me out of the narrative - very good narration though and excellent interviews!
youngjdef thanks so much for the feedback! I’m definitely still playing with format. And thanks for the sub!

If only the video was exactly 22 minutes long smh
