Personal Backstory:
Back in 2009 I created this project as a teenager on a different TH-cam Channel that has long since been deleted. Back then I had several limitations such as only having a low quality video camera to record, Windows Movie Maker to edit videos, and a 10 minute 59 second time limit imposed by TH-cam for non-partnered TH-cam channels. Now, all of those limitations have been removed, and my standards of quality for my own videos are higher, so I wanted to redo this project, and make it into what I originally envisioned it to be 15 years ago.

So TH-cam's compression algorithm absolutely eviscerated the quality of this video, mainly in Iron Gate. It's probably because of the wall textures constantly changing color. The bitrate didn't like that. Fortunately I haven't seen it get that bad in any other level. Anywhat, I hope you guys enjoyed! Episode 2 comes out next week.
