Don's Design Lab - The Ravages of Youth

This one of the best shows youve made! Masterclass in editing Don.

This was a joy to watch and superbly produced. One of my favorite pieces of content as of late. Congrats to all involved in making this!

When I heard about Don's Design lab I thought it would be fun. However, you have blown my expectations away. This was an absolute blast. I love the structure of the show, too. Great job.

I love the new three-act structure and longer format for Don's Design Lab! This was definitely one of my most anticipated additions from Phase 4 for sure and one of my favorites so far. As for the requested feedback to somebody Don knows, the main thing I would love to see is more of the collaboration between Don and the featured guest after the blueprint/design phase. Whether that's Don going through his thoughts on bringing the initial design to life or level creation with both parties, that would add a lot to see how the foundation comes together. If time allows, some additional focus on aesthetics would be the cherry on top as the level goes through each phase. Great work overall Don and can't wait for the next one!

Phase 4 content coming in hot! Love it Allies, such a well produced video and so entertaining to watch! Going to try this level out later.

This is extremely well produced and entertaining! Is this going to be strictly Mario Maker? I think it would be awesome to have the next episode be Halloween themed and maybe design a haunted mansion in The Sims.

Corey Swafford

Fantastic. Loved it!

Tim, King of the Monsters

This is really good.

Andrew Chalmers

Guys.. the stickers and paper? I LOVED IT. Hats off to the editing on this one too. Can't wait to play this level. SUCH a great show!!

Raven Perez

This was amazing! nice work.

TravelingSnowman

That was fantastic!!! Absolutely loved it!!❤❤ Upped my pledge for the fun times😁

That was awesome - thanks for putting in such effort. I was thinking how you guys even went to the trouble of getting the mario stickers for presentation points...well done :)

To Don and all the Allies, I've always been a huge fan of Don's Design Lab and even wrote once to CoJ about how much I loved those back at GameTrailers. Specially the one where Elyse just loses it and the one where Kyle trolls everyone and no one can finish the level. This is absolutely great and I hope we get a lot more of it, and for other games Don loves as well, Trials, Far Cry, Dreams, etc. Fabulous show - like all of Don's shows - and one I'm sure will be one of the best on Easy Allies. TL;DR: More Don, please! Always more Don. Did I mention we need more Don?! I love Don. L&R

Brandon Ray

Ended up watching it twice; with a smile on my face the whole time!

This is amazing!!!! Exactly the kind of stuff I wanted personally out of phase 4. Thank you!

Tristan Gray

This is the first episode of Don's Design Lab I've seen, so I didn't come in with any real expectations, but man, I'm impressed. Everything here is great, especially the incorporation of multiple Allies as QA testers. Can't wait for more!

Jordan Pettigrew

Extremely great new show, love everybody’s input becoming a brutal gumbo. True craft.

Wow. I just started the episode and I'm blown away by the effort on the editing and room setup. Good job everyone involved! This really looks like a step up from the usual. Also, love the graphics for this one. Again, good job!

This is quality content.

This could make a stellar kid friendly show for EZA if the Allies could hold the swearing back or Don could bleep them. (Maybe with Mario SFX for extra fun?) Just the vibes with the visuals and the theme between segments and the drawing and the stickers strikes me as perfect for kids otherwise. I don't think it should be some new mandate across all of EZA content, but just for this one show in particular, I think it would be a smart choice.

MBUN

Really a treat. I loved the way this was put together and the editing of it is terrific. Highlighting all the little contributions and changes really made it a blast to watch. Absolutely terrific.

This was really excellent, probably one of my favorite EZA series already, the editing was superb!

First time ever watching an episode of Don's Design Lab. Loved it. Can't wait to see more

Karl Williams

More of these please.

Natsu

Magic.

Beautiful. Watching this I don’t think it would actually fit in the format but maybe as it’s own show: I think the show should have a part where you look at user submitted levels - maybe a patreon tier?

erce

Something special here. This was an absolute pleasure.

That was amazing

Sven Van Lathem

To someone Don knows: Superb first episode! I love the changes you made, doing the concept first with the guest, then testing and finally presenting it, this is such a cool idea and again you managed to translate it into a masterpiece of a show, great work! And camera and edit-wise it looks perfect! Looking forward to see more!

Monika

im surprised at the length n the depth. Came in expecting a quick short thing n was thoroughly entertained.

Soul

I think it makes more sense where it's at, but it's in the description too if that's something you'd prefer. -Bloodworth

Easy Allies

Amazing; Don would it not be better if the Level code was at the beginning of the video so viewers can play the level blind; then watch the video to view how wicked or clever the people are designing it! and then we can follow on the Allies’ journey through the level watching the video. Just I’d imagine people are less inclined to play if they’ve seen 8/9 Allies play through the level knowing what’s coming. Can’t wait for more episodes, love it.

WOO!
