Thought we'd quickly do one of these again so that you can better understand where I'm at with my thought process and so that you can give me feedback in the comments if you think I'm misaligned with what you want to see. :)
I'm still in an experimentation phase, trying out a few different things, seeing what sticks. I'm especially looking for formats I can do somewhat time efficiently as I want to invest the majority of my time into actual game development, not YouTube.
THE PODCAST / INTERVIEWS
I really like doing the podcasts, because not only are they fairly efficient to make, but they also teach me new things. They feel like they contribute to my own growth as a developer.
There are some problems, though. At the current schedule (weekly) they consume pretty much all of the time I reserved for YouTube stuff. It's a lot of content and some of you have even said that you struggle to keep up.
I think the logical conclusion would be to relax the schedule a lot, or to take a little break and continue with season 2 at another time.
Just to clarify, I got 2 more (fantastic!) interviews recorded already and 2 more scheduled to be recorded soon. I think you're gonna like them so we'll finish this batch, then try out some new things.
I don't think stopping the podcast altogether is the correct call at this point but I also don't think it should continue with its current schedule. Some kind of middle ground compromise on this would probably make the most sense.
REVIEW GUESSER
I see some potential in this format. Can probably get a couple of good videos out of it.
I'm trying to get a public repository up so you can all try it out, hopefully some time this weekend.
I learned that there are already 2-3 people who made this exact game before me, though not in exactly the same way. My video has also already inspired somebody else to make a ReviewGuesser chrome plugin and published it "officially" before I did.
I think that's all cool. I never intended to turn it into a product or anything of the sorts. Just wanted to make a cool thing for myself and the community, so I don't mind if you run with the idea at all. Will open-source mine asap so you can take it as a starting point to mod in all of the features you want.
SLIDE / PRESENTATION FORMAT
The two slide / presentation style videos I made recently did way outperform all the rest. This tells me you want more of me just talking about game dev things in a condensed format.
I think that totally makes sense. I also really enjoy making these, just need to make more room in my schedule to actually make them. So once the podcast schedule relaxes, I'll use the newly available time from that for more presentation style vids. We got a lot to talk about!
DEVLOGS
Paul and I started work on the new game, but it's super early and we're not really ready to reveal anything, yet. Very much looking forward to your feedback and to sharing this new journey with you, though! Devlog series is starting once we lock in a clear direction and vision for the game and once I have enough content for a full devlog.
YOUR FEEDBACK
Your feedback is always welcome. Be mean to me if you want.
My only ask is to please be kind to the guests I invite. One day you might make a cool game and I'll invite you to sit there and chat. I'm not deleting comments or anything of the sorts, that's not how I roll. I will just remind you that guests do read comments and they are just people the same way you are.
Please let me know if you have any thoughts about overall direction. Wanna align as best as I can with what you want to see from me. Cheers!
