This is so cool! I'd love to see more devs do the in-game commentary thing. I was fascinated by it way back when Valve put them in Orange Box.

this is great. i love to see development history documented like this 🙏🏾

I loved looking through this! After playing so much of the game it was really interesting to see a level which feels completely different from what’s in the final version 😮

i was already going "ooh, that sounds cool in theory but a nightmare to implement" at the mention of Multiple Pipes and then learned idtech4 cant rotate bounding boxes???

overall this is a very thoughtful level designers commentary showing a lot of cool architecture and smartly-cut bits and really the only thing im sore about missing is the electric environmental hazards 😔 ah well

I like how the "Damage the reactor to cut the power" remained as a level gimmick for the CSS Barreleye. Mechanics might get scrapped, but the ideas behind them always remains to be implemented elsewhere.

Damn, that's a nice looking level. Would make a cool Doom 3 or Riddick level. But I appreciate it all being sacrificed. Because final game rocks. Except for diagonal airlock for cargo. That thing stole my heart.
