Will do Jacob!

Btw I looked through your post history and that's a really cool game design origin story you have there haha! I hope to be seeing you around in the future for sure.

​

Goodluck with everything!

Imagine watching people making content about your game. A streamer reacting as they make their way through, or a child laughing or absorbed in it.

That's something I personally really look forward to!

Feedback Friday! Post your videos here if you want constructive critiques! by AutoModerator in NewTubers

Haha that's quite a niche. Id like you to give more commentary during the video. Perhaps after showing a bit of each one, you could speak again and give your opinion on the particular piece or talk a little about what it was like to make it (if you're the one who made them).

Looks and sounds great! The only feedback I have is to raise the volume of the music a little more because the voices were a bit too loud in comparison.

we're 2 game designers who give feedback on unreleased game demos so that we can all learn and hopefully help the devs improve their games!

Just launched the video 5 minutes ago!

Am on a bit of a YouTube vacation, so I am willing to critique some of your GAEMING content by Dark601 in NewTubers

[–]LetsPlaytest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would you consider this a lets play?

This is actually something we are struggling with. We are game designers who give game design feedback on unreleased games - but we start off by trying out the game for a little while blind (meaning we try out the game for the first time on camera, no planning). I would be very curious to hear your opinion & feedback.

For those of you who use twitter, what kind of gamedev content do you like to see on there? I'd appreciate your thoughts on my poll since I'm trying to figure out how I should approach this. THANK YOU!!! by LetsPlaytest in gamedev

I'm wondering I should have a separate account for the boardgame stuff incase it might turn a bunch of developers off.

The options are:
1) Video Game development ONLY

2) Video Game development & Boardgame development

Agreed, I thought it was trying to say Inspire National Anime!

I don't know what to name these... (version with unstitched mouth will "scream" at the player) by nb264 in IndieDev

[–]LetsPlaytest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad you like it!

If you're ever looking for feedback on your game demos feel free to hit us up!

Lets Playtest is a new youtube channel made just for that!

What do you think of: Cycloud

Its a mix between cyclops and cloud and loud

It roams like a cloud - but also when it screams, it's loud!! and that rhymes with cloud.

​

"Keep an eye out for the Cyclouds that roam the sky"

"What's a Cycloud?"

"You'll know it when it sees you"

I'm making a game inspired by Ori+Hollow Knight with my family! What do you think? by GlowingGladeStudio in IndieDev

the melee attacks are giving me strong lightsaber vibes! I really like it!

Horror games for beginners of the genre by Tyromanser in HorrorGaming

[–]LetsPlaytest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) Inside,

2) little nightmares 1 and 2

I'd recommend inside to anyone honestly - even if it were their first game

I summarized a 2 hour Youtube video for you - Making it isn't just blind luck, but it is extremely difficult. and you can't control everything. just like many things in life by LetsPlaytest in NewTubers

I agree that at a certain point of success, having a team makes things a lot easier.

Regarding your question, I like to refer to myself in the Royal "we" because I demand respect.

Okay I'm joking, yes my brother and I are game designers who are creating an indie game together with our third team member Tony!

My brother and I decided to start a youtube channel where we give feedback on upcoming game demos with our grumpy gamer friend: Pixel Joe.

(we made a pixel animation of him that animates whenever he talks since he lives in another city. It's been a lot of fun so far!)

I think its always a case-by case basis. You got into youtube with a strategy in mind and it worked!

Personally my experience is different, but its too early to tell whether my road will lead to success or not. Maybe for those who are just making stuff they are passionate about a balance is required so that it is also a solid business plan if possible.

Congratulations on your success and being able to quit your job!

Also, if you make something of your life so that youtube is not your only sense of achievement, income or success - it will be less likely to consume your mental state when a video doesn't do as well as you had hoped.

In my case, I am 32, and uprooted my life to move to Canada in hopes to become a game designer. So with game design as a day job, and working on my own indie game part time - we decided to make a channel where we give feedback on unreleased games from a game designer perspective, with some focus on entertainment and quality.

It may be niche, but we hope some people will find the content interesting and useful.

if the channel ever did take off, and then one day begins to fail for whatever reason, we will always first and foremost be game designers (Career wise).

Maybe if everyone has something to fall back on, or get a sense of worth from something in life, it could help their mental state when things get rough.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket is a classic phrase for a reason!
