First, let me just say welcome to Valheim :) The game must be crazy in VR! I totally get the desire for a step by step tutorial. There are so many great builders who create exactly those kinds of videos! This video was done in this way for 2 main reasons. First, I was trying to be a little different from all of those other builders and experiment with a bit of storytelling style of video. Second and certainly more importantly, this was truthfully a fresh survival playthrough at the time. I did not intend to build something elaborate at all, and thus was not recording any of it. It all just...kinda happened lol. But I had no footage at all of the build process. Once I loved the finished product and decided I wanted to make a video, I had to figure out how to tell the "making of" story after the fact. I used the screenshots I had taken along the way to aid in that. I also went through the work of creating a copy of the same exact virgin world file, so I could go back to the same location without any buildings in it to create the beginning of my video. I demolished a few parts to rebuild them for the video only when absolutely necessary. And I completely copy/pasted the whole house on a flat area of the coast somewhere to showcase some roof demos. A lot of completely extra work just to make a video like this! So definitely thank you for viewing a year later!

Awww thanks so much! I'll be sure to forward your comment on to Keen games and then await my commission check ;)

Aww thank you! I 100% want to get back to Valheim soon! I have a hard time balancing real life, work, and all my other hobbies with game time. And then even when it comes to games, there are so many games fighting for my attention :( FF7 Rebirth and Elden Ring swept me away for 5 months and I'm still not done there... I haven't even touched Enshrouded since building this 5 months ago lol.

@@grxmpyxsad8487 you’re too kind! Thank you!

Thanks, friend! That's exactly the way I am, too - which is what gave me the idea for these kinds of videos. I generally have 3 or 4 loose ideas of what I want my build to be about, but have zero vision to visualize the finished product. I just start experimenting with 1 or 2 of the ideas at a time and see what comes of it. That act of experimenting inevitably leads to other ideas, which I then test, which leads to yet new ideas, on and on. It's a fun discovery process more than anything. But I hear ya on the blank page syndrome. I used to get completely paralyzed with limitless possibilities, so I found just starting with some simple shape or box to get the ball rolling is sometimes all I need to get going. The lesson I've learned thus far: there's literally no wrong way to begin a build! So worrying about messing something up from the beginning is ridiculous! Thanks for watching and commenting on a bunch of my videos! 😊

Thanks so much! Enshrouded is definitely a fun, complimentary change of pace from Valheim. I definitely recommend it if you're into building or just in the mood for some adventuring with a bit more map-marker type direction to it! I need to get back into both games, personally, as it's been a few months for me. I honestly don't remember when that trap door was unlocked in the crafting progression process, sorry :( There are a few trap doors you can build, using different materials. I think they're built at the carpenter.

Thanks, man! It's a super fun change of pace from Valheim, for sure. I need to get back into both games. It's been a few months for me!

Thanks so much! Sure, hit me up on discord. Same name.

@@Homitu Thank you!!
