Season 3 News

I thought I would write this post closer to the weekend, but I saw that the channel would post the 600th video today and thought that there was nowhere to drag it.

I'll say right away that the post will be long, and for convenience I will divide it into segments: Consoles in the season, the number of videos, their distribution and the duration of the season, the time of the video release, new formats on the channel, unexpected situations



1. Consoles of the season.
Initially, when I thought about making a seasonal basis on the channel, I did not think that it would really work, but to my surprise, when you are focused on several consoles and do not jump between them often, it is quite convenient to work, but then the second season came and instead of getting a new pair of consoles, I decided that I could handle all four, but the original idea was to change two consoles every 100 days, but then 4 consoles became not enough for me, and I added two more from the third season (from what was originally planned). So here we are, Season 3 is about to begin, and like all great TV shows and movies, Season 3 needs to have three times as much as Season 2, so here's a list of what I'm giving you in Season 3.
1. NES
2. Game Boy / Color
3. PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 / PC Engine CD
4. Game Boy Advance
5. Arcade / Neo Geo
6. Sega Master System
7. Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) / Sega CD / Sega 32X
8. SNES
9. Sega Game Gear
10. iOS / Android
11. Java
12. Neo Geo Pocket Color / WonderSwan / Virtual Boy and more


Now for why I chose these consoles. The first 6 are sequels to the first two seasons, they're not going anywhere, then we have Genesis and Game Gear, I picked them for two reasons, one, they have a really cool lineup of games and bosses that I'd like to fight, two, just the variety of consoles.
Next is SNES, well, that's pretty simple, it's a huge collection of sequels to different series and a pretty solid lineup of platformers of all sorts and types. (And another person who only wants this console)
The last three are a bit more complicated, they weren't originally in the season, but I thought I needed something more modern, if you take something from old consoles, then recording one video can take at least a day without damaging it, and then I switched to mobile phones, played a lot of games and liked them, so
I decided to keep smartphone games for this season, but the situation with Java is such that I still haven't recorded a single video, but I didn't throw it away because I want to start recording videos from it during the season. Well, point 12, it's not one console, but several at once, on which there are quite a lot of games in which you can record boss fights, since they do not pull a full point in the season, I chose them all in one point.
And also another innovation in this season, starting from this season I can take several games from a console that is not on the list, this is done because some games of the series that I am interested in are on other consoles.


2. Here and in terms of expanding the season, there will also be serious changes, I tried for a long time to figure out how to squeeze so many consoles into 7 days and not go crazy, and I realized that it is simply impossible, so I decided that this season will be very different from the first two.
The first change is that there will no longer be final days for each console, now the consoles will be mixed together. The first flows into the second, now there will also be no fixed number of videos per day, before there were 2-3 videos per day, now I think there will be from 1 to 4 videos per day
(that is, one video can be released on one day, 3 on another, and 4 videos on the third, everything will depend on the speed with which I can record the video and the speed with which I can edit it), thirdly, I understand that I do not have enough videos yet to maintain a constant video output speed at maximum, so I decided to limit the beginning of the season to a fixed number, and this is 2 videos per day, if everything goes well, then this will last until the beginning of March.
But I will also warn you right away that videos for some consoles will be released quite rarely for now, and these are consoles from points 10, 11, 12, I do not have many of them yet and I would like to record more of them before I start releasing them. Well, the last thing in this point is the length of the season, let's say the first season was 100+ days, the second 6-7 months, the third will be at least a year and will not end until the playlist of most consoles will not have at least 100 videos.

3. For now, everything is the same, if there are 2 videos a day, then one in the afternoon and the second in the evening, if three, then one in the morning, but I will watch the moments from the 4th video by the length of the video and try to insert it at least so that the difference between the videos is at least 3 hours.


4. So far, the channel has only three video formats (Videos with bosses, 50 final and 50 first bosses), now I have two more videos in my plans from the 50 final bosses section, and then 6 videos from the first 50, but after watching other channels with a similar theme, I thought that maybe I will try
a few more formats to increase the audience, these formats can be videos from the series: all bosses of the game series, the evolution of the final bosses of the series, battles with one boss from all the games in the series, and a comparison of the original and the remake. I don't know yet how much time I need to start at least one of them, but if suddenly such a video appears on the channel, it will not be spontaneous.


5. This is probably the most important point now, I have quite a lot of plans, but I understand perfectly well that power outages or Internet outages can overtake many authors on YouTube, but the arrival of a rocket or drone is a completely different matter, I realize that I live in a country in which a war is going on right now, and that no one is immune. I am not going to leave, this is my home and my country, this channel is like an outlet for me and I will try to run it no matter what happens.


Thanks to everyone who is already with me and to everyone who will come later.
