Main Series vs Side Project POLL!
🕑 Added 2023-05-19 07:02:00 +0000 UTCSo, after the long awaited ep7 of my side project (where we play a default map, but the biters start with 100% evolution), I got many comments happy about, and even preferring the side project video style as opposed to the main series (the fully edited ones, like the former Ultimate DeathWorld Challenge and the current Indestructible Biter Bases playthroughs).
So, now I'm actually quite curious to what your favorite style of series is. There certainly is an upload/timing based bias in the aforementioned reactions, but who knows, surprisingly the side project seems to be better viewed than the main project currently! so while I was assuming for most of you it's the fully edited "Main project" style, I could be wrong, and perhaps most of you prefer the the less edited, more live-play-y "Side project" style, so instead of making assumptions, here's a poll!
Now, the side project is about 1/4 of the work compared to the main project (it's still a lot of "hidden" editing to make everything flow along nicely), so there's that aspect to it as well: in the hypothical situation that there's a stronger bias towards the side project style than I think, I could be creating twice to thrice to even qwice the content for you, instead of "overediting" the main series. OTOH, "more" does not neccesarily equal "better", and you may not have enough real-life time available anyway to watch much more weekly content.
So yeah. Currently I divide my time about 75% main project 25% side project, approximately resulting in 1x main series episode (30 minutes) every 2 weeks, 1x side project episode (60 minutes) every 2 weeks (for 1 weekly uplaod total). (to compare, when I was doing just the ultimate deathworld with no side project, I was getting an average of getting out a 30 min episode every 1,5-1,8 weeks, or say 0,6 uploads per week)
So, here's a chance to influence the type of content I will be focussing on, or at least for in what ratio. Now, I know some of you will simply say "do what you enjoy most", but keep in mind that's exactly the question I'm asking YOU: what do YOU enjoy most!
Anyway, thanks for reading yet another wall of text, and for voting :)

I certainly love to see the creative process, but realistically the thing that brought this channel to life for me was the excellent editing. The pacing, interaction with the NPCs, and the banter between voice Mike and text Mike are a hard combo to beat!
I like the full voiceover type videos; Since i listen to them while i work or are in bed, but i dont really care if its all fully edited. As for the series, they are both awesome!
