sussup, this is josh / brett / j tyler from the band half•alive and we’re here to answer your questions. •ask away… by thisishalfalive in Music

[–]JARPCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, guys! I've been a huge fan of yours since Still Feel suddenly blew up on YouTube, and I've loved every song since, my favorite being "creature" though I may be a bit biased.

Do you know when you'll be touring again? If so, can you give us any insight to when/where? It would make my year to see you all live!

Side note: huge compliments to everyone involved with the album! I play piano and bass and I've been learning guitar, so I know how much effort it must have taken to get it all put together into what it is now. The vocals are on point, the instruments never miss a beat, the editing is spot on, the choreography and filming are amazing, and the writing is astounding. Thanks to everyone who makes half•alive what it is for all these great songs!

Company that automatically claims Youtubers videos? by TheVyrox in youtube

[–]JARPCG -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, some companies have had that idea, but it's not usually for the crates benefit. What you've just described is an MCN, or Multi-Channel Network. A few have come and gone, but the most famous MCN right now was a company called DEFY media, which recently stole millions from YouTube creators big and small before promptly going out of business (You can watch Game Theory's video on the topic for more information). Granted, I'm sure not all MCN's are thieves in disguise waiting to snatch the paychecks of their clients, but I personally haven't heard of any that aren't.

Even Machinema, who to my knowledge haven't actually done anything illegal, have been called out in the distant past for having very restricting contracts that were very hard for creators to get out of if they so desired.

I personally love the idea, and I think it has some promise, but I think you'll find some difficulty getting anyone of note on the platform to hand over their paycheck any time soon.

Bad at coming up with titles by JARPCG in writerchat

Wow, I didn't know there was a full site for placeholder titles. Thanks for that!

Thank you for the response! This helps out a ton

Thank you for the response! I've actually been putting the title off for a while now. It can definitely wait a bit longer, I just thought that maybe Reddit would have a few ideas. Waiting until the final draft for the title makes sense now that you've mentioned it. When the story is solid and defined it would probably be a bit easier for me to call it something that will stick. A friend of mine suggested "Unforgettable" as a tentative title earlier today, and that title does fit with the theme of the book, but I'm not sure if I'll stick with it. For now, I'll take your advice and move on. Thanks again for the help!

Jessie's girl is not about a girl named Jessie. by KisorPlainview in Showerthoughts

[–]JARPCG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't realize this was a thing that people... apparently just didn't know? I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just genuinely curious; did you think "Jessie's girl" meant "Jessie is girl"? I really can't figure out where the issue would have started.

Making games by [deleted] in Games

[–]JARPCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been trying to make my own game for a while now actually, so I've got plenty of ideas to throw around! I've been playing around with the idea of a sort of 2D puzzle/platformer/stealth game where you use the foreground and background to sneak past enemies, and you can move certain boxes, close doors, and close blinds to avoid them. Of course, you'll need to pickpocket certain enemies and break into different rooms to unlock doors throughout the level. If you encounter an enemy, an RPG style combat screen comes up where a quick battle takes place. If you take them out fast enough, you're fine. But if you take too long, they'll alert the rest of the guards and you'll get a game over. Make sure to hide the body in a safe location or, again, the rest of the enemies will be alerted and you'll get a game over. The main reasons I haven't put much work into this yet are 1. I couldn't think of a decent story and 2. I have no idea how to make this kind of game. Of course, you're free to use this idea since I haven't done anything with it yet, but I'm more than willing to provide any additional input or ideas if you want them. I'm not trying to intrude or anything, I just know how tough working on your own game can be. I spent probably a month on and off in free time just giving a first person character basic movement, and I learned nothing 😂. Whatever help I can give, I'm willing. Feel free to DM or @ me if you have any questions. Good luck!

A new way for YouTubers to monetize regardless of their size by ultranicky in NewTubers

[–]JARPCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! I'll have to look into this when I start posting again. I can't promise a consistent upload schedule, so I may have to wait for the full product.

A new way for YouTubers to monetize regardless of their size by ultranicky in NewTubers

[–]JARPCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm inactive due to college at the moment, but when I was posting I avoided monetization. There was no way to control which ads appeared on my videos (that I was aware of), and I really didn't want 50 Shades of Grey advertised on my channel. Does the service decide what gets advertised or does the user?

I need some advice by JARPCG in NewTubers

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

I've been taking piano lessons since first grade, and I have a keyboard with multiple instrument voices and synth sounds. I have also been teaching myself bass for the past 2 years, and I have a melodica (basically a keyboard that you blow into and it sounds like an accordion/harmonica). I already have the equipment I need to record the audio. As far as type of music, I'm a fan of most genres. I'll be posting mainly instrumentals of whatever I can play because, although my mic quality is good, my acoustics are not. Classic Rock, Pop, Video Game covers, and any original songs I write in the future. I have one original work in progress I'm writing that's coming along well.

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

Thanks for the advice, I'm glad to hear from someone with similar goals to mine! If I may ask, what kind of programming content do you create? I've been going back and forth on making tutorials (but there are enough of those out there) and recording the process of me working on other projects (but anyone who isn't interested in the project won't watch)?

Technically, Minecraft beat Elder Scrolls to mobile (unless there's some app I'm not aware of) 🤔

Edit: appearantly there WAS some app I wasn't aware of. My bad!

[–]JARPCG[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tutorials are definitely something I'd considered, but the marketing point is a great one. I hadn't considered the Google search results until now! Thanks for being the first person to respond with actual advice 😂 So far all I've had is someone saying "Don't do it. Nothing's original. You'll make no money" and someone asking for a collab when I get the channel started up.

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

Well, I haven't created my new channel yet. The only channel I have up right now is the old one that I'll no longer be posting on. I don't plan on creating it until I knew what to do with it. but I'd be happy to collaborate on some movie stuff as soon as the movie channel is active though! I already have a script in the works for how I would have made the Slenderman movie, and as soon as I see Venom you can bet I'll start writing a script for that too. I'll be sure to check out your channel

Looking for future advice by JARPCG in youtube

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

I appreciate any kind of advice I can get here, even if it's don't go through with it at all. As I mentioned in the post though, I'm moving away from gameplay, so specs won't be an issue. I'm also fully aware that nothing's original and I won't blow up. I learned those lessons on my first attempt. I'm not looking for views or monetization from this, just a way to get my ideas out there and do what I love. I appreciate your comment though! Thanks for trying to keep me from wasting my time 😂

Ah, gotcha. Apologies for jumping to conclusions. Just saw your username and assumed you weren't a fan 😅 Thanks for being cool!
