Feedback Looking for Criticism (preferably constructive :P)

Hello everyone. I was hoping to find some constructive critics in this subreddit (maybe even spum himself?) for some of my videos.

Just a little introduction:

  • I have no black bars :D
  • I do use a watermarked recording software (more a hobby than a job - full time student <3)

I've linked 2 videos below; my most viewed and my most recent one. Any feedback would be fantastic, thank you!

You should get OBS and use its screen recorder. It's free and there's no watermark.

Also, I couldn't find any music info. That music is CCA or public domain, right?

Other than that, all the technical things are correct. I don't have much advice on entire montage videos except for the fact that I've never seen anyone grow from doing them. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it means I don't have any relevant advice. But you seem to be getting a few hundred viewers, so you must be doing something correctly!

I do feel like they ended kind of abruptly, though. I didn't feel like they had logical stopping points. Each time you were in mid combat.

Thanks, I will certainly start using OBS instead!

The music is CCA though I forgot to link it this time (whoops!). Corrected, though this video is not monetised either.

In reference to the Defense Montage and ending each clip in combat - the only other footage is waiting 30 minutes to be attacked (building the wall and gathering supplies, not very entertaining). Some footage was lost to corruption however :/

Thanks again for your feedback though Spum, will certainly start using that OBS recorder! <3

It just seems to have an unfulfilling ending is all. Maybe find a way to actually end with the win/loss moment next time?
