As you may have noticed, I haven't been keeping up with my schedule as of late. There are a few reasons for this. Firstly, i've been super busy in my day-to-day life. I was made redundant from my job a few months ago, and i've picked up a few other bits of work but they've taken me around the country for a few days at a time, so i've been away a lot. Secondly is the demonetisation of the channel. I believe that, in the future, Youtube will simply remove anything they deem as not worthwhile - starting with the demonetised channels.
So after a bit of thinking i've decided to restructure the channel a bit in order to get it remonetised (is that a word?) so it'll be safe, as well as allowing me to explore making more types of content. I'll still be primarily making ambience videos - that's why we're all here - and they'll still be weekly (give or take the occasional missed week), but i'll be looking at making other types of videos between them. Ideas I have are - videos on the creation of some soundscapes, some focussing on different areas of the design, and other as an overview of the entire process; Videos tearing apart modules into scenes to decide on what soundscapes will be needed to create a series from it; reviews and thoughts on modules themselves; player product reviews, such as dice I like, apps I find interesting etc.; and vlogs from conventions I go to.
Part of the reason for doing this is because it interests me, and the other part is that remonetisation requires me appearing on screen more. But once again, I know everyone is here for the ambience, and i'll never stop making them - i'm simply looking at expanding the content on the channel :)
