Hey there! As of this comment, there's now closed captioning on the video, in case you were having trouble hearing the narration. I know, the music volume is way too high. Next time, I'll certainly do a better job with the mixing. Then again, next time I'll create the captions alongside the video, instead of hastily adding them post release using the worst caption editor known to mankind. Other than that, I'd like to thank everyone who has watched the video in the less than two weeks since release! Seriously, I didn't dare dream of getting 200 subscribers two weeks ago, and now that number seems so quaint...

I have to say for such a small channel your editing is top notch!

The rope works because it gets reeled in to stay taut at all times. You jump, make the rope a little bit shorter, and fall a little towards it

Wow, props on completing a Starbound challenge! It's always good to see a new challenge runner join the scene :) Hope you find an audience - your editing is already top tier. Maybe turn down the audio/music a tad, but other than that, you've got a good solid base to grow on if you keep this up! Can't wait to see what you come out with next!

As a person who has spent a good while (1000+ hours) on starbound, Its crazy seeing a game this dead playercount wise in 2022, in a fun and well edited video no less. This video earned you a subscriber who looks forward to future content. Thank you, Glyph

You singlehandedly made me want to play Starbound again, the lie chapter was truly something I didn't expect, and god that's such a nice and even touching approach on how to tackle a "failed" challenge of these

My man, how the FUCK does this have so few views. The editing is great, the jokes are fairly good and the script is pretty well written! Honestly, Kudos and may the algorithm bless you.

Thought this was a well off channel till I saw the view and sub count. Really nice editing, top tier. As long you can keep this level of editing with reasonable timeframes for uploads I can see this channel exploding in the youtube video game challenge category

Incredible work, once again! Your visual editing is absolutely immaculate! There's so many tiny little details such as the character warping onto the screen at 4:18, the music sync (especially during the gathering sessions), and the small little visual jokes sprinkled throughout like the explanation-ception at 5:25 and the camera perfectly following Kluex Avatar's tragic demise at 14:51. The pacing throughout is really solid, as well! None of the sections felt like they overstayed their welcome, and the more tedious sections cut a great balance between showing how long you took without actually making us suffer through any of the pain. The buildup to the "big reveal" near the end genuinely caught me by surprise (Though I really should have noticed, having played the game myself. Oops). I personally would have gone with the original line for the third motivational thing, but I'm a sucker for really cheesy lines, so maybe take that a grain of salt. One small thing to note is that the background music was very loud this episode. I greatly appreciate the Touhou bangers all throughout, but it was genuinely difficult to hear your voice at times. Your offhand remarks (such as the one at 6:00) were especially drowned out by the epic tunes. It's still listenable, but definitely something to tone down slightly for the next time. Thanks for taking the time to put all this together! It was a fantastic watch, and I'm looking forward to whatever challenge you decide to inflict upon yourself next!

The Nostalgia, of seeing this masterpiece of a game again. Hit. Real. Hard.

Your pacing and Storytelling is fantastic and while I have not played starbound I can always enjoy a well researched and executed challenge run. Hope to see you recommended again in the future!

I had no idea what Starbound is or what this channel was but watching this was immensely enjoyable. The editing and narration is so good. Another KZfaq gem!

What a rollercoaster ride of a video! Damn, i was not expecting such an wonderfully edited, scripted, paced and executed video! This was just an pleasure to watch, and my engagement was over the roof even with me not really enjoying either vanilla starbound and its story campaign. Srly, this is such the perfect definition of an underrated gem and insta-favorite. Whatever you are doing, geez, i hope you find absolute great success! And god do i want to see more of it My best regards -Inspiration rejuvenated random new-sub

your taste in music is sh- really good and appreciate how well done the video is should get more views Also love touhou and that koishi caught me off gaurd

Like many others have noted; this is a really well made video and did a great job at capturing the pacing and general style of other well made challenge videos while still having unique humour in little editing details (something that always makes a video better in my opinon!) With that praise, I'll also mirror the most common criticism you're getting--absolutely not to harp on about something you clearly have already noted and are likely intending to rectify. I will say though, audio mixing is absolutely something that gets forgotten about, one part because when it's good you don't notice it at all, and it's also incredibly arbitrary and difficult to get right the first time around. You might very well be more learned in audio mixing than me--which, fair enough--but I did do a unit of Audio Production & Design in University, and it taught me quite a few things as well as my way around Adobe Audition (which is genuinely pretty awesome if you have access to it and it meshes with your workflow). Audio mixing for KZfaq is kinda... well, funky. A lot of mixing is really more based on industry wide standardisation where, and forgive me for potentially incorrect numbers, the usual targets are voice tracks being around -10db, where music might hit -5db when not competing with vocals (think a massive orchestral swell for an emotional moment in a movie, etc). Couldn't honestly tell you an exact number for music underlying vocals, but clarity is incredibly important in a video as information-dense as one like this. I suspect you may have potentially been trying to cover up some persistent background noise in your vocals/vocals quality with the volume of the music, which I might just be thinking because it's what I did once upon a time, but I'd reccomend checking out some videos on producing super clean vocal tracks (normalisation, removing background noise, compression, all that good stuff). It makes vocals so much easier to mix, gawd dayum. Generally, sound mixing can be really hard because, when listening to your own video, on your own system, with your own headphones, it'll almost always sound vastly different than on another whole system. So partly you mix audio by ear, and partly by standard, but ideally a viewer should be able to go from one video to the next on youtube, and not need to bump up or down the volume--having it all fit in the same general guidelines for volume levels--while still having a unique/interesting audio mixing style. That's clearly not always the case, but it's good to keep in mind. Other than than the music mixing, there was also the few instances where you had vocals tied to the gameplay happening on screen, and the narration vocals over top, and that was also in need of the same treatment in mixing. In the end, despite how much I managed to write on it, this was actually a rather minor 'misstep', and only stood out to me at all because of how well produced the rest of the video was made. With just a slight bit of tweaking of audio levels, your video would essentially be critiqueless from my positon. Maybe some script writing/presentation things? But that's just a matter of you doing it more, and it's not like it was horrendous. Quite the opposite, really. Take the massive paragraph as more of a discussion of the topic, rather than criticism. It's mostly half-rememberd stuff that I learnt ages ago now, and still dust off to use every now and then! Excited to see more from you in the future, if this video was anything to go by, Thanks for the entertainment!

awesome editing! kinda hard to hear your voice at times but still. wasnt expecting the reveal at the end lol

Incredible vid my dude! Always love to see Starbound getting some love on this platform. The twist near the end caught me mega off guard, but it's right; when people watch these, nobody cares if you can or can't, otherwise videos would be like 2 seconds of "yes" or "no", but *how* it's accomplished is always the fascinating part. also lmao grappling hook

Seems your channel struck a gold mine with this one, I found you channel through my recommended. Great editing and especially good work on completing this challenge and suffering for our curiosity!!

Gosh, this video is so good. You have a really good choice of music to set the atmosphere, clean visual transitions that keep viewers engaged, good humor, and a heck of a lot of information to help understand how everything in this challenge run works. Bravo to you, for this was an absolute treat to watch!

I love how this video is done. I love how music just "suits" the moment - especially upon the ropes movement discovery. I've never played the game, but now I wish I could - seems fun to play. In other words, great job! I'm pretty sure this is the point where you'll start to heavily rise in sub count, so... good luck!

Dude, your editing is seriously impressive! You deserve every like and sub you get and then some!

wow first time seeing one of your videos and the dedication and work put into them i swear this has to be one of the most underrated channels out there i hope your channel goes well good luck brother

It's quite pleasing to randomly find an another touhou fan on the internet. And your respect for people you get music from is also very good. Usually it's difficult to find music because authors don't say where they grabbed it. That's a subscribe,

Love the video, thought of doing this challenge myself (since I wasn't able to think of anything else) and am happy to see that someone else has already done it, also love the music selection and the overall structure of the video! Keep it up. 15:18 And also, yes, Big ape is just a touhou boss in an ape costume. the music for that scene is also just perfect

My god finding you feels like finding a burried treasure! Amaaaaaaaazing video! Incredible editing! Fantastic job mate! Hope to see more of you from now on!!

I came in thinking this would just be a fun explanatory video, but the music selection, the narration and the editing absolutely blew me away. Really really well done mate!

Man people talk about underrated channels all the time but just wait until they see you. Less than 200 subs? Bruh let's make you big, you deserve it

This is so incredibly well edited and put together. Bravo!!

I haven't seen this game in such a long time, but it's a childhood favorite of mine! Thanks for showing up on my recommended!!

Just discovered this channel, and I gotta say this was a great first impression. I really appreciate that you actually tell us what the music playing is, as so many other channels I watch don't even credit the music they use in the description, let alone within the video itself. I look forward to more content!

I cant belive it took me so long to find this channel

What a fantastic video! I'm not sure what the algorithm of KZfaq has been up to, but it sure lead me to a fun and wild ride, and I'm so glad it lead me to your channel! Starbound is far from perfect, but to see someone innovate a challenge in 2022 surrounding such a trendy gaming topic right now is super awesome! Hope to see more of your videos in the future!

Definitely going to keep a watch on your channel! Wonderful editing and never feels like the pacing is too fast or slow! A great choice of music as well, always lovely to see a content character who enjoys Touhou Project OST's and arranges!

Story telling in this video was amazing! putting chapter 11 where it is rather than at the start is something I'm not sure many youtubers would think to do

Oh my god, when ever you play music you list it on screen, then you show the credits at the end (something KZfaqrs should do given how much stuff they use), and then you also show the music credits in the description. Thank you so much. I once spent hours trying to figure out the source on a song in a KZfaq video

Glad this showed up in my recommended because this video's so good!

That was fantastic! I can't wait for more from you!

This is the first video of yours that I've seen, but it certainly isn't going to be the last one. Thank you very much for some high quality content :)

I have very very little knowledge of starbound, but this video was very entertaining, the editing was amazing and the music was phenomenal!

This is actually really funny, and the editing is really good too! Honestly, I wish I could do more than like and subscribe.

I love the editing and effort put into this video, I'm looking forward to more

I'm not sure why KZfaq recommended this to me but this is precisely the kind of content I was looking for, the kind where I can watch someone struggle with a challenge I would never attempt myself.

Just finding your channel for the first time and I have to say I am absolutely astonished by the absolute quality of this video you did an amazing job

I came for the video idea, and stayed for the fantastic editing and touhou bgm. You sir, have earned a sub.

this is such a well produced and passionate video! I absolutely love this, and I appreciate how much effort you put into it, going so far as to include closed captions for people (like myself) who prefer having clear subtitles. You deserve so much more praise and recognition, hopefully this comment helps out on some of that KZfaq Algorithm™stuff

Awesome video! I'd love to see more Starbound content in the future!

I'm glad to see that someone is still making Starbound content

not gonna lie, the twist at chapter eleven got me emotional, this was such a great video and message, i hope u get recognized more! 💚

Would love to actually watch a stream of this kind of playthroughs. Thank you so so SO MUCH for the captions btw. More people need to find you, like seriously.

Incredibly well made. Awesome to see Starbound content on KZfaq. I have the footage of myself getting all the way to the ruin without mining or placing anything and this inspires me. Maybe I'll finish that

Every single thing about you and your channel is the definition of incredible and underrated. THIS IS FANTASTIC CONTENT and your taste in music is lovely!

I like how the first few seconds were literally "look here I am, but you can't get to me" The game knew what challenge you were gonna do and it started teasing you for that...love it!

Your talent in writing is to the point that i got emoitonal about a challenge run in a game i dont play. i am extremely impressed

This video is awesome you deserve more subs

Oh BROTHER how come your channel is so unfairly small for content of this quality! Now I wanna play starbound again and everything! Its really incredible, even more so coming from a video. Great job!

subbed for the fact that you're making starbound content in 2022. You're doing gods work keep on keeping on

Music: AMAZING Editing: AMAZING Concept: AMAZING Whole video itself: FAN-FLIPPING-TASTIC!!! Please continue to make videos like this! You're amazing!!!

Love this video and the editing! Fooled me into thinking you were someone i was already subscribed to because it was just great! Can't wait to see how far this pushes your channel and hopefully it's more motivating than stressful. You're doing great ^^

You put the titles of the songs you're using on the screen the moment they start playing. That alone makes you better than at least 95% of other youtubers. Please, never change in that aspect

This is soo well made, you deserve the views and would deserve just as much love and upvotes imo, I did really enjoy the video!

when i was watching your video did not even noticed your subs count but that top editing I was assume a big subs but when I see not even 1k, i say this man deserves a shield! just take it! you deserve it!

Fantastic video. I first played Starbound years ago, and I still play Starbound to this day, so it’s nice to see it receive some love. Well done, a fantastic journey. Consider me subscribed. :)

Holy shit that scripting and editing is fire. Can't believe you haven't gotten more attention. Also respect on having that much patience and skill.

god fucking DAMN this shit's underrated, the narration, the editing, the twists and turns, the storyline.

I'm wondering how I got this video in my recommendations, I'm pretty sure it's because of the Touhou. But oh boy, I love this guy's editing. I haven't played starbound in about a year, this game is great and I love the challenge. The solution at the beginning is creative, probably the only thing you had to think really hard about. And the editing, it's very grand and it definitely fits my personal requirements. Altogether, I love this video.

I have a habit of finding hidden gems on youtube and i could not be happier about it, Sub well earned!

I loved this video, I love starbound and enjoyed hearing about your endeavors on taking on this challenge!

This channel is sooo underrated! I really love this video and hope that you do more "Can you beat" Challenges!

Love the deconstruction planner from Factorio at 0:48

I really like how you credit music in the bottom left as you use it. This looks like a great channel, keep it up!

wow, i stumbled upon this video and thought you must have well over 100k subs given how well edited your content is! seriously, hats off to you

the editing of that flowering nights grind montage was gorgeous

What a twist!! Very fun video. Great job!

Why did chapter eleven make me almost tear up?? Really amazing editing. I haven't played Starbound in SO long but this video reminded me why it's still technically my most played game on Steam despite not touching it for years. I might have to change that soon. Cheers!

Instant subscribe the level of effort and Quality made me shocked when I saw the subscriber count. You are so unrated, your videos are amazing keep it up

Ah, yeah, that's about how I thought the beginning would go. Unfortunate. But it's cool that you can accomplish so much along the way, and this is truly a triumph. Well done!

This is a really well made video, I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers. I love the comedic editing especially. If I had to say one thing, it's that the audio leveling could use some work, because sometimes the video is either too quiet or too loud, and I had to keep changing the volume. Otherwise, it seems really good! I subscribed.

It sure has been a second since I've seen a new starbound video on KZfaq. Thank you!

Damn am I thrilled this particular vid got picked by the algorithm to bring your channel to me!! This video is stellar *cough* and I can't wait for whatever else you make!

dude you have the best editing style for this type of content!!! Its amazing!!!

Wow, only after watching the video and checking your subscriber count I realized how underrated you are. Hope your channel really takes off, because that’s some advanced editing right there! Wishing you the best of luck :)

I've never thought someone would actually try this challenge. Great video!

"Hunting spears are made of sticks and stones, easily obtainable materials for breaking bones." That made me smile, thank you.

Where are your viewers!? This is incredible content, keep it up man.

Chapters, music credits, starbound, you couldn’t do anything better. Great video!!!!

i hope this game comes back to live with this video! such good editing and a lot of entertaiment dude

God damn the editing on this is phenomenal. Amazing job, this is hella entertaining for a slow paced challenge. Also based Touhou music choices

man im sick in bed. so i looked up dumb challenges in games. and suddenly youtube recomends me this. this shit is amazing :D and i love how the spear and sword and hammer all got some love because of it.

I really like your commentary and editing style, also huge congrats on (nearly) beating the game without moving xD

Ngl your editing is super high tier!! Congrats on you!!

This video's production quality is crazy. Nice job.

Great video. The editing is fantastic, commentary is engaging, and it's nice to see some modern Starbound content. The music is a little loud in parts but I suppose you've improved that by now :)

I really enjoyed the video with all the great editing and storyline Also your name is cool as hell

Surprised this video hasn't blown up yet 🙏 you got a new sub

I really wish starbound got more recognition. I always loved this game and felt it deserved a similar level of popularity as terraria and Minecraft. Glad to see people still playing it.

Never heard of you before, saw this pop-up and very quick like & sub! great storytelling, editing and most of all, great music choices! loved the vid

Wow you truly earned yourself a sub. Great editing! Good job!

Great editing plus your funny ! Love your reactions, keep up the good work !

AMAZING VIDEO, great editing! You deserve so many more subs than you have. Though I won't forgive you for lying, that was a great twist with a wholesome narrative! Keep it up :D

Watched this whole video before work. Got to the end and was super impressed by the lie lines. Subbed for sure. What a great video.
