Hello guys! I come with an update to the channel branch out situation. I’ve spent a ton of time thinking over how I’m going to proceed with the channel since DbD’s been in a bit of a rough spot rn, so a bit of your time, if I may?
Firstly, my existing DbD content. Despite everything BHVR’s said in their apologies and their QoL part 2 roadmap, I’ve lost faith in them, and I want to see actions rather than words. However, I do acknowledge that DbD was the game that kickstarted the channel, and, if I’m being honest, despite everything going on with DbD rn, I don’t hate the game itself, I really don’t. Myself and countless other creators wouldn’t be so vocal about our annoyance with how the game’s been handled if we didn’t care about it. We want to see it succeed! In my case, I’m more-so just mad at BHVR rather than the game, a “separate the art from the artist” scenario, if you will. After thinking about it some more and realizing why I’ve been upset with DbD, I’ve decided that I will continue to cover the game with all my goofy and serious topics as per usual, but they’ll be happening less frequently.
This leads to the next point I wanted to bring up addressing why DbD content will be a bit less frequent: the content branch out. This is still happening, and I’ve talked about it aplenty. If you guys were confused as to why a Lethal Company video about scrap values showed up on your feeds on a primarily DbD focused channel, this is why. In addition to the DbD content you all know and love, I’m going to start experimenting with about 1-2 other indie horror/horror adjacent games to yap about on the side, so if any of you want some extra stuff to listen to me ramble about, there you go. These videos will be the main focus for the next couple weeks since I need time to get the games’ own playlists made to separate them from the DbD stuff, let the algorithm have time to adjust to the changes, and I just don’t have the energy to deal with DbD rn. Fully expecting the non-DbD videos to not do great early on thanks to the target demographic changes, but hey, Rome wasn’t built overnight. Once I get a flow going with the new stuff, we should be back on track to cover DbD again, especially since September is giving us that one folklore chapter BHVR was talking about at PAX.
Now, with all the changes coming up, how is this going to affect my format? To keep it blunt, it won’t. Ever since I’ve started posting, my main channel goal was to create an environment where we can all have lighthearted discussion over the video topic of the week and just generally have a good time! I don’t exactly plan on changing my format because of the addition of 1-2 extra games on top of DbD. If anything, I’ve been slow and steadily improving it over the course of the channel’s lifespan to increase the video quality. So regardless of whether you’re here on this channel because of me, DbD, one of the alternate games featured, or all of the above, the content format will remain the same throughout! The only difference will be what the content itself discussed that week is.
Thanks for reading all this if you got this far. Basic tl;dr of this entire thing is “I’m gonna cover a couple more games for variety reasons (as for which games…you’ll see ;) ), DbD will still be covered despite this because I’m more annoyed with BHVR than the game itself, and the content format won’t change in the slightest. I’ll see you all in the 1,000 sub QnA special next week! I didn’t forget about that, I was just busy with the Lethal Company video when we hit that milestone. Cheers!
