SO- you might notice that there are some changes around here. I thought I'd make a community post going into a little more detail about what's new!
--------------------
First of all- I've rebranded the channel quite a bit!
'MooseyButDifferent' has now become 'Moos', and you'll notice I now have a new channel icon, courtesy of the wonderful @Stellamarius!
But why the change? Well, I've always been a little iffy with the identity of this channel specifically. 'MooseyButDifferent' is kind of a mouthful, for one, but it's also dependent on the viewer being aware of my original channel, . (Which, like, you should be, but y'know.)
On top of that, the existing branding was kind of just not really representing this channel very well. An inverted version of my official logo looks cool and all, but it's not really conveying what this channel is. Which also begs the question- what IS this channel?
Well, I've been thinking a lot about the differences in my channels and what defines them, and I think recently I've come up with a solid way of identifying and separating them.
So first, @MooseyVGM, my original channel- that channel is essentially my artist's account. It's where you'll see all of my major uploads, whether that's new music releases, new projects, or anything like that. But as a consequence of it being more focused on my work, it's less about me, the person behind it.
And that's where this channel, @Moos, comes in! Whereas @MooseyVGM is a little more focused on my portfolio of work, @MooseyCat is a channel where I can put my voice and my passion/interests front-and-centre. That might mean playing games, talking about games, writing super elaborate video-essays- whatever I feel like doing!
And so, because of that difference, I thought it would make sense to brand this channel slightly differently as well. So whilst my artist account uses my official brand logo, the 'mascot' of this channel is... well, me!
(I want to give a massive thank-you to @Stellamarius for helping realise this silly little design based on my concepts and feedback- she did a phenomenal job! 💜)
--------------------
Next up on the agenda: NEW VIDEO!!!
I just published a ~20-minute video on Rain World and you should go watch it RIGHT NOW!!! (link below)
In this video, @Stellamarius and I decided to team up to tackle a co-op Rain World playthrough together. Whilst I'm very experienced when it comes to Rain World and its many campaigns, Stella is practically the exact opposite, and so I thought this would be a fun way to help her make it through the game and experience it properly!
I also may or may not have added a few silly mods here and there for some spice. (Don't worry, nothing super game-breaking or anything like that. At least not yet, anyway.)
If you want to see two people mess around in the early areas of Rain World for twenty minutes, this video is for you!! It's also a very new style of content for me, so if you enjoy it, please let me know!! I'm super down to do more content like this if people wanna see it (we already have the second episode recorded- we did two sessions way back in December lmao.)
But yeah, please please go watch it and go check out @Stellamarius if you haven't yet! She worked on all of the illustrations you see in the video and thumbnail, so this video would not have been possible without her.
I've been playing all sorts of games, mainly focusing on indie stuff (as indie games tend to be some of my favourites.) If you're interested in seeing me play games like in today's video, but as livestreamed content rather than a highly-edited format, this is absolutely the content for you!
If you can't make the streams though, I also have a dedicated VODs channel where I upload all of the streams shortly afterwards!
This week, we played through 'Pseudoregalia', which is an extremely cool indie game that blends together an incredibly satisfying 3D platformer moveset with the structure and exploration of a Metroidvania. The VOD is already up now, so be sure to check it out if you're interested!!
I just want to end this little post by once again giving a MASSIVE thank-you to everyone who's stuck around on this channel. I know I'm far from the most active when it comes to ANY of my channels, let alone this one, so I really appreciate those of you who care to check out my stuff when I do upload.
I'm hoping to do a lot more with this channel over the rest of the year- I've had a bunch of ideas for a long while on the sort of content I'd like to put on here, and I'm hoping 2024 will be the year that I really start pushing to get those out.
I won't make any promises, of course- I know what I'm like- but if you do want to see more from me, the best thing you can do to support me is just keep engaging with my videos and sharing them around. The absolute best way to justify me dedicating more time towards these videos is having the demand and audience for them, so yeah!!
I'd also really love to hear from you guys if there's any particular content you'd like to see me cover, any games you want to see me talk about, or just anything like that! Feel free to leave a comment here or on any of my videos and share your thoughts.
--------------------
That's just about everything I wanted to share for now!! Go enjoy the video, go check out @Stellamarius, and hopefully I'll see you around! (Sooner rather than later, let's hope...)
