I finished this game a while ago, now I'm trying to make an introduction video before I put it on Steam, looking for feedback.

1. I don't understand the core concept of the game. I think another video that explains the core concept of this game would be better.
2. I feel that the video was too long, it showed way too many features.
 

If you feel the same way, please let me know. If you have any other suggestions/feedback please don't hold back.

I have already got some feedback from other people, and this is what they felt or some of the things I think the video doesn't do a good job:

1. I don't understand the core concept of the game. I think another video that explains the core concept of this game would be better.
2. I feel that the video was too long, it showed way too many features.

I see what you mean, you can make the trailer shorter and maybe ad some of your favorite things in the trailer and use some text frames for a few seconds, so you wont have the whole thing gameplay

Yes just explain the main goal instead of every single feature. This is more a tutorial video which is useful too but serve a different purpose. Give us a bit info about a story. Who you are why you are here and what is your goal. 

You mean introduce the story more instead of every single feature? Yeah, I think most trailer videos are like that. Maybe I should do that + show the core concept(the space connector) just a little. Then in another video I can give a more detailed explanation.

Yeah, actually I had the same problem for the in game UI system. I really like addition blending, it looks cool, but in the end the user can't see the elements clearly so I changed them to alpha blending(or faded to a black background if I used addition blending UI elements).
Funny how I totally forgot about this when I made this video
Thanks man.

Yeah I can see what you're saying, it would be still hard to read the text even if it is fully opaque because the background has too many colors in it and the text might get mixed up with the background.
Actually I do this for the interaction UI in game, the center of the text is always a light color and on the edge it fades to a dark color using alpha blend, creating somewhat of a "gradient outline". It's just that I totally forgot about this during the making of the video
