@FabiulousGames 2 года назад

That’s great advice! I recently started uploading devlogs so this video comes at the perfect time for me :) I think in the end it all comes down to making good content. It might not get you attention at the beginning, but in the long run it’s gonna pay off. And if it doesn’t, you still made something to be proud of!

@icoso 2 года назад

Thank you very much, and I absolutely agree with you! RU-vid rewards consistency and making content in the long-term, so this is definitely accurate! :>

@mayodev 2 года назад

1:40 I'm impressed with your dedication to this channel. And you're right, you couldn't pull off a video a week now. You're already posting a video a day! Your work ethic is light years ahead of mine, mostly because I don't have a work ethic.

@icoso 2 года назад

Thank you very much, haha, I've built it up over many videos and hours of work! ^^ We're getting there, for sure, and you will too! :)

@LTGD 2 года назад

One of the things that RU-vid does that annoys me, is when they give you that "Your last 10 videos, ranked!" thing. *Don't pay any attention it at all.* None of it matters. Those videos might take off later (most of mine lately have a very long tail for views), so don't stress it.

@icoso 2 года назад

Oh yeah, absolutely. I’ve had videos go big boom boom after a while, too, and I think there could be a lot better sorts of analytics that could be provided. Maybe we need to create our own game-dev specific video sharing platform 🤔

Icornso is the kindest corn for believing in everyone. Sorry I just cant stop putting Icornso in my comments he is just too cool. Yeah I really need to start writing some scripts for my audio in my videos, also thanks for all the thumbnail tips, I really don't know where to start when making a thumbnail and it usually just blends in with all the other videos. Yes you responding to comments and actually reading them has really kept me coming, I feel like I am part of the community and that people care what I have to say so yeah a big thank you to that. I will make Icornso proud! Also the raid shadow legends thing at the end was amazing.

@icoso 2 года назад

Hahaha xD Thank you for the very nice comment, and yes, Icornso keeps us all going :P I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and best of luck with your new devlog videos!

Now make a video about how to get enough time next to school to upload videos every week (I once managed to do that, but now that I'm in highschool I haven't uploaded since last summer (but I'm editing a view videos). I remember the time when we had about the same number of subs and your game jam videos started to do well. Also nice that you are uploading daily right now (how? Do you still have holidays?). Nice video and cool that you're helping out fellow game dev youtubers

@icoso 2 года назад

Haha, that's actually a topic I'm considering talking about, for sure! ^^ School and RU-vid can definitely be difficult to manage, so don't beat yourself up over it :) Best of luck with the new video, too! :D And yep, on Summer Holidays here in Aussie land :> Up until the end of January, where I'll have to focus on school again xD

@thesilentwisp 2 года назад

@OneEgg42 2 года назад

My tip is to be unique. People like ThinMatrix and Dani took off because they were unique. I think these days most game dev youtubers seem to 'follow the crowd' when making videos because uniqueness is really hard to achieve.

@icoso 2 года назад

I definitely agree! With so many game dev youtubers now, you really have to do your best to stand out. I think Dani did a great job of incorporating humour into his videos whereas ThinMatrix create a really chill and calming atmosphere in his content :)

Thank you for the vide. It really helped me a lot. Do you (or anyone else) have any advice on how to talk confidently in your videos? I think I'm struggling a bit with that and the only things I can find are videos on how to talk confidently on camera but these videos focus more one the visual part (how to look good on camera) instead of the audio

Wish you talked about common bad game dev RU-vidr tropes to avoid like monotone voice = funny, shouting out friend with the overused "I'm stuck in their basement" joke, game devs collaborating and disliking eachother as a joke, etc. Probably seem like nitpicks, but I think it's worth mentioning imo.
