THE ROAD TO OMEGA MINOR (DEMO #17)

Comments:
First map of the new episode (at least I assume it is), and we're off to a kinda bad start. I'm really sorry if people were expecting a fast demo for this map. The only thing I can comment on was the fact I slightly changed the route, so that I could play aggressively whilst also reducing the grind of demoing the map.

To be honest, the map itself visually is incredible but the combat was quite rough even on casual play. I did not enjoy running this map, especially with the cluster of monsters and lack of health adding to the burden.

This brings me onto a topic that I would like to discuss, regarding my demos and the series.

TRTOM isn't about me beating the maps as quickly as possible. Whilst I do try and beat the maps fast, I only do so because it adds to the enjoyment of playing through the maps. After playing maps casually for quite some time, I have found that playing really passive is just boring to watch (commentary does help reduce the boring aspect since it's nice to hear the POV of someone else playing through the map).

But going back to the topic, TRTOM is about clearing the maps in a single segment with no cheats or saves. That's the whole premise. I just thought by doing things quickly, it wastes less time for the viewer whilst also making things more fun in the creation process on my half of things.

Now, this map is sort of an exception. Since I didn't enjoy it, i'm not gonna try and optimise it but rather be happy that I was able to even beat it in a single segment anyway without having to play too passive.

Once again, sorry to those who wanted a faster time, this map just isn't for me. Although the next map I will try and beat quick as I really did enjoy it!
