  I was in the corporate world for 30+ years, and have done a postmortem or 2. First, 👍👍for mentioning that you should look at what was done right, along with what's wrong. Next 👎👎waaay down for assigning blame. Never assign blame, just identify problems. Who cares who wrote a piece of unoptimized code, just fix it for next time. I've had a few supervisors who assigned blame. It never helped. All that happened was that people quit, and the moral of the one's that remained caused them to do even crappier work. Nothing good comes from assigning blame. Just fix the problems.

  Thanks for the videos. There are tons of gamer related content / arcade / Switch and other consoles / game cafes / casino / DMM platform etc to cover in Japan where developers have a different audience or goal. Have fun!

  You should try to translate into Thai. You don't need real data, but you also don't need real genre. It's just a matter of Thai people which seeking to gain some level of global stage recognitions. Maybe get in contact with local influencers to promote your games once you translated into Thai, the boost will be much greater percentage than many other languages you could translate into. Well I'm not gonna say it's better than Japanese, but who knows right? Recently even just a single game translated into Thai, it became phenomenal for the gaming circle. If you want to ride the train, just take some risks. Though all the Thai hardcore gamers can read English because of "gamer's brain" kind of thing, a lot of gamers cannot or can on lower levels. I think it's fair enough because Thai people generally born with 2 native languages and some people might have 3 or 4 native languages...some have 6 native languages to learn from. So English is at least the third language and Chinese is at equal ground but most people in my generation never learn Chinese.

  Some of these might be better represented on a scale of "effort vs impact" instead of a tier list. Like "difficulty" for example: low effort, medium-high impact. That can help small devs pick and choose what challenges to take on.

  I'm doing KZread exclusively for my game's devlog -- That being said, I'm not necessarily trying to market my game, I might even release it for free. So the point will be for the KZread channel. Making the game so I can build a KZread channel, but then doing a KZread channel to help me build my game. I'm going to be pretty open about the whole game, so spoilers, puzzle solutions, everything, because it's not so much about the game, even though it's all about the game, if that makes sense. I'm going to be making my channel for people that like to know how things are made, people that like behind the scenes footage, movie audio commentaries, that sort of viewer. My only issue is whether I should start it's own channel, or whether I should just use my existing. I got a hunch that I started getting less views on my old videos because of certain political views I held, and wasn't shy about voicing in other video comments. So we'll see

  @@tymondabrowski12 I'm not going to go get links for you, but you can do the research on the games once I mention them. I also should have said Eastern games instead of JP but Eiyuden Chronicles changed the vibe of a character completely with localization along with added words that never existed or wouldn't have translated to what they did in english. Steller Blade, they changed clothing because Sony localization made them. Dusk Diver had its box art changed to eliminate side boob. There are a few games that had underwear changed to shorts. I mean I can keep going about how things are changed by localization instead of keeping the game as they were intended from other countries. Heck I can move into anime as well but that's not video games. I can give more text change examples, but I think I typed long enough. Even if they are small changes at times, they really shouldn't be doing it because it's a slap in the face of the people that made the game, and it's pretty much the localizer saying "I can make the product better than you."

  Love the channel and thoughts. What I say here is meant to supplement, not argue. I think this is very much based on your art team's capabilities. I've dabbled in all these styles though not really for games. I used to be a 3D artist (VFX, commercial and film), but passionate hand-drawer and painter in my free time (though hardly a pro I've done some work for money, but it was usually for production previz and character design) and had the highest grade ever in my college for a hand-drawn cell piece (old school hand-drawn). When I started drawing (self-taught) I learned from the 'how to draw anime' books. So to me, Anime is easy, they have rules that make it easier to reproduce than something original or realistic - and it's more forgiving than trying to nail perfect realistic figures. 3D takes more time but the tradeoff is once a character is production-ready, animation is much easier and faster. Hand-drawn style animation, to do well, is possibly the hardest one here for me and, product-speaking, a shiney 3D object with passable animation will always look 'higher end' than a good piece of 2D animation. Sad but true (in my experience). Again though, it's personal. I dabble in game dev, and personally I think with my skillset 3D cell/toon is easiest as it requires less detail to be painted (i.e. more time in shading, less in UV and texturing) and a 3D rigged character opens up more possibilities for blending and dynamic animation. That said, I struggle to get exactly the look I want, but I'm still a noob with game dev and think it's down to that. haha - just thought to leave this here as an opinion from someone who's dabbled in a lot of these. I think basic 3D gives you a very high ROI for visual fidelity with minimal input, and cell-shading drastically reduces material and texture time if you have many assets that can share the same shaders (and toon outlines can be done with post-process shaders (at least in UE)). That said, to do anything well, requires significant time. This sht's hard yo. Power to all of us trying to make games. And thanks for all the videos, you always stimulate some thought.

  If you're considering turning this into a SaaS, I don't think it's a good business idea, since this is still a very manual thing. Platforms like Lurkit and Keymailer have "AI" content creator matching, but they are absolutely useless. I think this is something you need to do manually for the main part, as you are the only person who really understands your game and what kind of genre/creator fits it. -M

Well i clicked on it just to check if its some big account or if its something with 5 followers and that's all i was going to check. However on quick inspection [insert teddy going WHAT THE FUCK, There is so much porn]. Imminently that name had to be scrapped.

  Great video! Personally, my plan was to go the personal savings route, and I am a year and a half into it. However, in practice, I spent a lot more of my time working on mental health issues than working on my game. I also came to realize that I am held back more by the lack of financial security (for when I run out of funds) than I thought I would be. That being said, I don't regret making the decision. I'm going to have to pivot and try a different approach, but the time off was very valuable in rerouting my life and planning how I'll make the game dev dream real.

  It is not because you worked at a studio that you will be killing it as an indie.... There is a reason most business even created by people with experience fail.... As a studio employee, you are given a task and you execute it without much thinking.... You won't be doing many different things... As an indie... You wear many hats and you have to be entrepreneur something an employee is miserable at... To be indie you have to be an entrepreneur bottom line. And about the layoff... This is why I say you have to be entrepreneur... You would have known the main reason of all those layoff... Companies were over hiring, cost to make a game skyrocketed despite making more sales than ever but if the cost is too high...

  If you find youtubers that match the target audience of your game, I think it is always worth reaching them, even if they have a very small audience. Having someone play your game and record both the game and their reaction is really such an useful feedback. It may not convert to a lot of wishlists, but you will see how people react to your game. With Twitch it is even better because you can also the reaction of the viewer live.

  Very insightful tips. I've already collected a small list of streamers and plan to add more when the demo build is ready. Wouldn't surprise me if I can find 200 of them. A streamer I talk to already has a 1 month waiting list. Probably safe to assume that could be normal for many more of them.
