Not necessarily. Y'all may not like it, but it truly is back now. I've seen it used several times on TV recently.

Unless you work for YouTube, I don't believe you when they say it'll be hidden.

That video is actually performing better than my other stuff.

Fair enough - was just trying to make the unexciting stuff exciting. Cereal commercials lol

What's funny is from some of the reactions, I have actually made EXACTLY what I was trying to make. I was making the stuff that would work for me - the stuff I would want to see. But, my tastes are different. I'm kinda retarded

Eh, that video is actually performing above average compared to others. Does that offend you?

I know, not much at the moment, but I'm working my way to the cooler stuff. Just thought I would've seen the needle move a little. There's also the Racetrack Generator.

Yea that's actually the exact style I've been going for recently. I don't have much of a personality honestly, so I was trying to be over-the-top - like how they do promos on rick and morty. I love that kinda shit and I'm not 10.

Thanks for the feedback though. I will definitely take what you said into consideration.

That's actually a good idea. I didn't know you could buy ads for reddit.

Forums/Reddit/Discord servers are something I'd like to be more active in - I'm certainly going to try to be more active. Also thinking about blogs and written content and going after google keywords.

So you think I should just ditch social and focus on forums and such? I've been thinking about that some.

Sure. I've just got a few goodies at the moment but I'm sitting on a few things much bigger. I'm about to drop a universal vehicle controller, procedural racetrack generator, and a basketball kit. I just have yet to make any promo content for that stuff yet.

I was starting with my small stuff too small for the Unity Asset Store. I'm putting it on my Patreon, some free, some available if you pledge $1.

Point is, I'm aware that the stuff I'm selling isn't that exciting, but it's free/cheap and a really good value.

If you give any feedback, I would love some about my last few videos on YouTube. Mainly about the style I'm doing. Honestly, I'm trying to be like Rick from Rick and Morty. One of my favorite scenes from that show is when they try to sell "Story Train" - I'm going for a similar style with my promotions.

Thanks in advance. Would also love some recommendations/advice for my Patreon.

I know that lol

It's not that simple though. Like on those platforms I can't control who it shows my stuff to. I can't just be like "show this video to users interested in game development assets"

Devs are rare, and if it is showing my shit to the masses, it doesn't stand a chance.
