Would anyone watch raw game development sessions with no commentary?
I've been thinking about recording my game development for a while, mostly because I think it'd be fun to look back in a year or two and see how much both the game and my skills have changed
Most of my prototypes are in Godot, but after watching Tsoding for a while I got the urge to write C again. So I started a game from scratch in plain C. It's mostly an experiment and a way for me to learn. I'm definitely not a C expert, so I don't think people would be watching it to learn best practices
The idea is to just record my normal coding sessions and upload them. No commentary, no editing, no "today we're going to implement..." stuff. Just whatever happens while I'm working on the game, including bugs, failed ideas, and the occasional "why did I write this?" moment.
I like watching game devlogs, but now that I think about it, I don't remember seeing any channels that do this, without talking.
Do you think there's any audience for this, or would you skip it if there's no commentary?
Also, I use a mostly monochrome editor theme. Would that make the videos harder to watch?
Here's a quick test upload if you want to see what I mean:

I know it's a pretty low-effort format, but it's also the only one I know I'll actually stick with. I'd rather upload raw sessions consistently than spend hours editing videos and end up nobody see
Maybe over time I can make it more interesting by working on fun features, recording longer sessions, or trying different formats. I don't really know yet. I'm mostly experimenting and seeing if there's any interest in something like this
