My only concern is how will you stand out from other LP's on youtube. Yes I know your are partnered with YT but there has to be more than the whole badge of honor thing (and you're not the first on here to have said badge). If there is anything I like for let's plays is how a person evolves it from the standard "lets play a game and talk about it yo", and lets not start talking about the "face cam".
Examples include:
Cry including humour within his videos and is possibly the most entertaining out of lets players I have ever seen (evident in my videos).
PewDiePie because he never takes anything serious and probably spends 99% of the time fucking about (in a good way)
Myself for including "Dr J Awless" to talk shit about myself and Rach (my self proclaimed therapist). (Yes I know it's shameful but it's 2.30am and my thoughts are within the prospect of sleep)
In conclusion I am very curious to how this turns out. I have below some maps that I have done in my own LP and recommend you give a try.
The Darkness: Prison - Weird writing but great for people wanting to get into custom stories. Just don't turn around and go out the door, you'll end up as confused as I was.
Cannibalism - Even though I had to cut my LP short, I redid it and found the experience terrifying. The only thing wrong with it is the fact that it's all in one map, so you better have a damn good computer.
Through the Portal - Possibly the only map I have done that I can't think of any criticism for. I'm being serious!
Also, it has to be done. The Dark Room - the most unexpected experience I have ever had.
If you want some help then feel free to contact me via skype
Look forward to seeing what you are doing
Thanks for the tip mate, Me and PewdiePie has done several LP's together so we know each others pretty well. I know one have to nisch oneself in this market and i think i have something to bring to the table. Usually get 100-300 comments and most of them is just positive. But i would be very glad if someone could come with some pointers on how to improve, then again, one can only bring the personality to the table so, if people like it , they like it
Thanks again
What I enjoy most as a viewer is a genuine player experience. If you're getting the feeling that someone you watch is "putting on a show" just for the sake of it I quickly lose interest. Cry is good at delivering humour mixed with gameplay, it feels truthful and doesn't take you away from the experience. The bottom line is that either you are good (= fun to watch playing a game) at making playthroughs or you're not; you can never "fake" a good experience. All that "extra stuff" is like 5% - 10% of the experience.
Just my view of it.
Hey you can't be more right, i think i deliver that because. Just watch my videos and see if i deliver that feeling. Because when i play there is only the game nothing else, i really try to make me feel like I'm in the game if you know what i mean.
Length is up to the player really. For example in my Custom Story it is up to how fast you figure out the puzzle in the first map and how fast you are in second and third map.
