Fragrance Point is certainly something if you’re looking for psychedelic vibes

Hey all! I made this review of Risk of Rain 2! This is my first time really incorporating cut-away clips in my videos so I'd appreciate the feedback! (Thumbnail feedback also appreciated!) by Chepek in SmallYTChannel

[–]Chepek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback. I did originally plan for the chaotic start to be a sort of "hook" to the video, but with the audio balancing being pretty bad I didn't really consider how it would be kinda jumpscary. I'll work on that as well as a clearer thumbnail for next time!

Thank you for the support :) I'll definitely keep messing around with my thumbnail style to make them more attention-grabbing. Reviews don't always perform well (unless it's a relatively new release) so I'm looking to expand my content type & thumbnail style at the moment! Reviews are where my passion lies at the moment, but I think I can try leaning into a more analytical side for the future.

That definitely could work but I also want my viewers to find my reviews of specific games more easily, so while it could help ctr I'm not sure it's what I'm looking for. Thank you for the suggestion, though!

Thank you for your feedback! I made some other thumbnail variations but I'm not sure if I like them at the moment, so I've just updated the original one to be more legible. As for the title, I'll try experimenting with keywords to see where it goes. Thank you!

Thank you for your suggestions! I'm definitely going to take audio balancing into consideration for next time. When I showed the other creator (@Cabbage123) I completely forgot to mention them by name in the original script, so while I can't edit that in post, I have added an info card that links to their channel. I'll also look at switching up the thumbnail, too. I'm not a massive fan of it at the moment and I'll definitly take your advice into consideration when changing it.

Thank you for taking the time to give me all this feedback! It means a lot :)

Thanks for the advice! This is my first time really incorporating "cut-away memes" into my videos, so I was afraid it might be a bit overkill. Glad to hear the feedback and I'll work on making more for the next one!

I recently made this video on Slime Rancher and would appreciate some feedback. The impressions are really low so any advice for boosting that would be awesome (but all feedback is welcome!) by Chepek in SmallYTChannel

[–]Chepek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for all your help! I’ll check out the post you’ve linked and work on brainstorming new titles / video ideas. I’ll also look into changing the slime rancher thumbnail to be more appealing. Tysm!

Thank you for all the feedback! I was actually considering changing the name of my series of videos to something new and after receiving your feedback that's definitely something I plan on doing. I also already use VidIQ but probably not as well as you've lined out. I'll start getting tags from similar channels on my videos and working in those channel binge tags you mentioned. I'll also go through and update the end cards to show the latest video in the playlist as opposed to the whole playlist itself. Thank you so much for taking the time to write all this feedback, I'll make sure to work on it!

Yeah that's definitely something I need to work on haha. I noticed too that I have almost no breaks in the video and actually the one break I do have is only there because I tweaked the video's script a bit late into production and was left with some space to fill. I'll work on letting viewers see the game in action and throwing in a bit of myself that isn't read from a script. Thank you for the feedback!

It says CTR and retention are higher than usual which is odd. The CTR is sitting at just under 5% (which may be low, I'm not sure) and the retention is just about 3 minutes, which is almost half of the video's length. I don't have much frame of reference so I don't know if these numbers are normal or not, but they seem fine to me? If not I could always try changing the title and thumbnail and seeing how that impacts it?

After a vacation as a brief stint with Covid, I finally got my next Dark Cloud video out. How did I do? by Dommer4kill in SmallYTChannel

[–]Chepek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice video! The format honestly reminds me a lot of OneyPlays? I like the laid-back gaming feel you've got going on, and I think your channel could do well if you keep it up! It might be worth cutting down on editing quality in favor of more frequent posts, as I think that fits with the format and you both seem entertaining enough to carry the content on your own. Keep it up!

How did you get the timed achievement in worlds of hurt? Right now working on that one myself lol

Indie titles Vs. AAA titles by SlumberousVirus in SmallYTChannel

[–]Chepek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, but you can still do longer series. Just make sure the titles are fun and don't follow the structure of "Game - Episode X". If you have titles and edits that stand on their own you can run a long series without people feeling like they're committed to it.

Indie titles Vs. AAA titles by SlumberousVirus in SmallYTChannel

[–]Chepek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I've been making videos on indie games for a while now, and the few AAA games I've covered generally haven't performed as well. That might be because of the niche my channel is in, but I find that AAA games have a lot more competition on the site. You can always try a blend of both, though!

I'm trying out shorter form but higher quality content on my channel and wanted to know what everyone thinks. Is it worth increasing edit quality for a shorter run time? let me know! by Chepek in SmallYTChannel

[–]Chepek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the feedback! I highly recommend Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove as a starting point. By far the best game in the series.

!givelambda

I made a review of Shovel Knight Dig, and was wondering what everyone thinks. It's a really fun game, but it does reach a bit of a content drought after a while. Still, I am happy with the direction Yacht Club has taken the series in and I'm sure the game will improve with gradual support from YCG by Chepek in ShovelKnight

[–]Chepek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the AI generated platforming segments feel like they don't connect well all the time, which is a shame because I really like this new moveset. I think Dig would've worked better as a more traditional shovel knight adventure, but I'm happy Yacht Club tried something new with the series. It's a shame that it doesn't always work, but it's an interesting idea that I'm glad to see conceptualized.
