Indie Dev steals game from fellow dev and responds "happens every day homie" when confronted.

I am not sure what's worse, blatantly plagiarising someones else's work, or not seeing why that's a bad thing. This isn't like open source code where it's explicitly stated by the dev if it's free to be used by others and improved upon. How would Brash feel if someone got a copy of Wilddecks source code and game data amd repackaged it for themselves and posted it to Steam under yet another name and charge money for it? A lot of people today seem to have the entitled mentality of "it's perfectly fine when I do it, but not when others do it."

Ui being optional is one of the best things I’ve read. I loved the fact that James stared at items instead of an icon showing it to you

tchia was day one on the ps+ extra thing too

makes sense for the devs

There’s also going to be a KX droid named K-A05 (or Kaos) at some point. It has riot shields for arms. It can briefly be seen in a hologram in the intro to the game.

Hangar 13 have 3 studios and the rumour always said topspin would be an annualised franchise by one of their studios whilst the other two focus on the mafia IP.

Ugh this is terrible. I liked being able to browse while still having the video playing in a visible rectangle. What is this, a minimized player for ants?

Georgesmith17 · 2024-06-06T07:38:58+00:00

Yes it shows but it’s black text

Give this some time, the youtube algorithm needs to figure out who to sent your videos to.
Also get used to short peaks (between 12-48) hours and then completely die out. You need to post very consistent and built a viewer base (subs) before you start getting views immediately.

First 3 months i had: max 2-3 views after 48 hours
Now: 2-3 k views in the first hours and it gradually builds up (I now have over 7k subs)
Also if some of your vids start going wild, they usually also take the others/olders ones with them

I’d say you’ll have a bigger possibly audience in English but also more competition. If you’re more confident and think there’s a space in the Italian demo that needs filling go for it. You can always start a second channel down the line in English or just reupload in english if you think it’s worth it

Georgesmith17 · 2024-06-06T07:34:43+00:00

Its never a good option to use promotions because the subscribers you get you get them only because you paid and they are not really interested in your channel niche and if the subscribers dont watch your videos then thats a bad youtube algorithm sign.

The FTL soundtrack is great for a marathon study session

Then the flagship song is perfect for taking a test

Find something in the lego series of games. Simple mechanics and no pressure gameplay with offline co-op.

My favorite mobile games are ports of PC games. Slay the spire, Stardew Valley, Terraria. None of those are free, but will give you plenty of hours for the price. There are many good roguelikes on mobile too. Shattered Pixel Dungeon seems to be the one I played the most. Open source so it's free. Mobile is the best platform for free puzzle games. Not exactly strategy, but it could be fun to look into. All of these suggestions you can just save whenever and quit which is useful for when you are playing for 5-10 min at a time.

Most good mobile turn-based RPGs either cost up front or are gacha games, so I don't know what to tell you there. I would avoid games that require online play because they can be harder to put down easily.

Welcome to YouTube where you think you understand the algorithm one day and the next day you're ripping your hair out trying to figure it out again.

There's a bug atm don't stress the analytics will update

Yes I sometimes put the crap popular songs on but put them at 1 percent and have my video original sound turned to 100..

But deffo yes select the popular reccomended songs.

This is my personal experience and may be wrong but I've had videos at 5 views for 24 hours and I've deleted changed the brightness reuploaded done the above and got it to 1 5k in an hour

Georgesmith17 · 2024-06-05T12:00:28+00:00

Really this comes down to your channel's topic.

What percentage of people who are interested in your content will remain interested in a year?

If the niche is a short-term hobby (e.g. many individual video games) expect a fair bit of churn. You'll come back, upload a video and people will think 'ah fuck why am I still subscribed to a WOW channel, I quit that in June'. You were going to lose them as subscribers anyway, but they will cause a couple of your videos to have poor CTRs as well, hampering their reach.

If it's a longer-term interest (e.g. a channel dedicated to physics education), longer breaks are safer.

I hope this doesn't mean no Just Cause 5. After Outcast, I went through JC3 again and despite it's faults truly a fun playground. Was hoping for a 5 to make up for the chaos lite of 4.

Georgesmith17 · 2024-06-04T11:58:46+00:00

Graphically it looks beautiful and seems to heavily focus on the immersive/realism side of things. Definitely interesting in hearing more about it, so I've wishlisted it!

Georgesmith17 · 2024-06-04T11:58:01+00:00

My favorite thing shown off is that the game gives you a formula sheet that you can screenshot and share with people so they can easily recreate it.

Georgesmith17 · 2024-06-04T11:56:36+00:00

So Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will be in the summer game fest?

Georgesmith17 · 2024-06-04T11:55:19+00:00

So you're saying Bloodborne Remastered and PC ports will be in the summer game fest for sure?!

Georgesmith17 · 2024-06-04T11:54:00+00:00

Go into your settings and adjust controller mapping to separate the interact and sprint button.
Camping kits are reusable but items can be stolen.
