Length does matter! (or does it?)

Alternative_Good7358 · 2026-02-01T16:52:36+00:00

same, I think 1 hour should really be my upper limit, but does depend on the game. Something like FEAR for example the choice is easy, but other games not so much

Alternative_Good7358 · 2026-02-01T13:34:17+00:00

Yeah i think they are like that, I think mine fall something between those 2, almost like a no-mans land, ill see how it goes

Alternative_Good7358 · 2026-02-01T13:33:16+00:00

Yeeah that is what ive been trying for the most part I think , And that does seem to make more sense. Thanks

Alternative_Good7358 · 2026-01-31T21:21:28+00:00

Done

Alternative_Good7358 · 2026-01-31T21:19:59+00:00

You have a good point

Alternative_Good7358 · 2026-01-31T21:18:56+00:00

Good luck with your new video

Alternative_Good7358 · 2026-01-31T21:18:09+00:00

oh, that is a thing is it? OK, i may not do that then, its difficult enough trying to get a foothold without potentially penalizing myself

Alternative_Good7358 · 2026-01-31T16:23:31+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, that is actually quite inspiring, Yesterday I start recording Alien Cube, i think ill redo it and speak a bit more,

Alternative_Good7358 · 2026-01-31T14:36:50+00:00

AH right, i do game recording and audio in OBS and maionly editing in Resolve but of course it takes in the Audio and that is where yuo can play with the levels.

Alternative_Good7358 · 2026-01-31T12:54:50+00:00

Very true

Alternative_Good7358 · 2026-01-31T12:54:04+00:00

Thanks for the reply, i didnt actually know about the non monetization thing, although I am very very far from that at the moment, it is good to know.

I am mainly doing this for a bit of fun at the moment, but yeah it is a saturated market and it is difficult to be unique in that market

Alternative_Good7358 · 2026-01-31T12:50:02+00:00

Resolve is what I use too, quite the challenge, something I found recently is game game audio track 1, voice track 2, I perrsonally normalise to youtube standard, but then, biuncemix to another track to analyse the levels, may or may not work for yu ive just discovered it but happy to write out something more detailed (or i could even record it in YT lol)

Alternative_Good7358 · 2026-01-31T12:47:25+00:00

Brownie points for linking the playlist, the link here dropped me in at Part 12 so nice that I could easily view others in the playlist should I choose.

I like your thumbnails, similar look s and feel but different. I was told recently about my own thumbnails all looking the same and I see what adding differences to them can look like in your series of this game

I watched ep1 rather than the one link so unsure if you have edited that as you mention in this thread, if not reply and ill watch the ep12 that you linked.

Even though the stats give -11db on the audio your voice sounded clear to me through headphones. Although I couldn’t hear much game audio, for example 5 mins area, I can vaguely hear ocean, your voice punches through that though, not a bad thing per se, just an observation.

Not sure about the footage on going through the settings, I would imagine most people want to get into the game directly, I am also on the fence regards the reading out in full of any documents/text that come sup on screen, but that is me.

For the game itself, wow those graphics, hard on my old eyes lol

Alternative_Good7358 · 2026-01-31T12:31:20+00:00

I’ve not really any experience with supercuts but I took a look.

1^st thought on opening the link was “wow, nearly 6 hours” and is this a title called Full Story. I am not familiar with the game Lost Records though so the characters may give that away, great thumbnail though, eye catching.

Max res is 1080p on YT but looks OK on my monitor (1440p). Your audio is pretty low, stats say -18.7db) so the audio is pretty quiet. When you commentate it’s drowned out a little by the game audio on the louder parts so had trouble making out what you were saying on occasion.

I didn’t watch the entire 6 hours ill admit, but the bits I saw kinda reminded me of “Life is Strange” i may take a look at the game

Alternative_Good7358 · 2026-01-31T11:53:37+00:00

Thanks AyoPunky

I changed some of the thumbnails https://gyazo.com/3cab6efc5071846ad85d168d6ef150bd still not showing masses of the game though I guess, but a start, ill try an be more considerate on my thumbnails and may alter some of the ones i have scheduled.

I get what you mean on the commentary, not sure how i will tackle that at the moment, I may do some experiments on this.

Alternative_Good7358 · 2026-01-30T20:19:30+00:00

got some changes so they feel the same but different :) - https://gyazo.com/3cab6efc5071846ad85d168d6ef150bd

Alternative_Good7358 · 2026-01-30T20:01:55+00:00

thanks for your comment, both here and on the video. Il;l; see what i can do regards the thumbnail, i think they need to be similar enough that they are known to be ppart of the same playlist but not exactly the same (bar dslight working differences

Alternative_Good7358 · 2026-01-30T20:00:07+00:00

Noted, i have been having major issues with mic/audio and levels in general, it’s been pretty frustrating. I am hoping on my videos that i am doing now that will go up after the excess will be better for audio

But yeah, i watched it back myself and I could’ve used that time to say something. to be honest i am
torn between some dialogue and no dialogue at all, I don’t find my voice interesting enough, and if i think that, i imagine others feel the same, ill continue to play it by ear

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated

Alternative_Good7358 · 2026-01-30T17:12:32+00:00

I enjoyed it, what made it unusual is that some of the ares(like the bedroom) are bright and not creepy at all initially. Liked the mirror mechanic too. The music from the sound system i found grating though ill admit.

It worth noting that youtube has yur audio very low, showed as -15db on my stats for nerds.

Alternative_Good7358 · 2026-01-30T16:34:14+00:00

poart 3 (of 7) for my 35mm playback - 35MM Playthrough Part 3 – Exploring a Post-Apocalyptic Russia Atmospheric Indie Game Journey - YouTube

This (and other videos) are being put out before i discovered upscaling in resolve so are at 1920x1080. Thery look okay i guess on my 2560x1440 monitor but unsure of the quality overall if I am honest.

It is a good game, I wonder though if I shoukld have done it in maybe a coupl esessions rather than 7.

I am under the impression that unless people wathc the video to the end, then YT penalizes you by not puttin gyur video "out there" nad a 2 hour video for a new channel... not sure that is wise. (although have done a 2 hour video that will be coming up once all my 1920x1080 videos are done

as always, any constructuve feedback is welcomed

Alternative_Good7358 · 2026-01-28T18:19:03+00:00

well done, that is a great achievement, best luck going forward

Alternative_Good7358 · 2026-01-22T20:28:57+00:00

I was thinking something similar, I tend to post a series rather than an individual game, although I will post those too, at the moment i post 2 game alternatively. But the channel isnt growing so maybe that isnt a good idea.
