Hell everyone!
I have recently started up a Youtube channel. It's just a hobby for now, and not meant to be any source of income. So far, I've found a bit of success from advertising my channel in giveaways, and I'm hoping this thread might bring in a few more people who'd enjoy my videos. If you feel like you could spare a couple of minutes, I'd highly appreciate you checking out the channel, and subscribing if you like the content.
Short info about my channel: I'll be doing Let's Plays of various short to mid length games, in what I hope to be a chilled and relaxed atmosphere. The channel will mostly include games that tick either one or more of the following genres: Adventure, puzzle, strategy, management, survival, post-apocalyptic or story rich games. I'm no genius of the games I'll be playing. I'll mostly try to play games blind. Sometimes I'll make mistakes, I'll be slow, and I'll be learning. I'm sure you'll find plenty of moments where the solution is obvious. If you're looking for high levels plays, my channel will not be for you. My playthroughs will be in a down-to-earth and relaxed atmosphere. I will do my utmost to try and commentate in a calm and relaxed manner. Hopefully with time, I'll start to open up a bit, and there'll be more jokes thrown into the mix, but it'll always be in a quiet and relaxed tone. For now, you'll mostly deal with my shy introvert self. Also note that english is not my native language, and if you do watch my videos, I think that'll be fairly obvious to you from time to time. To a degree I'll also be uploading my failures.
I know I've said "relaxed" a lot. But I really want to emphasize what kind of personality I have. There'll be no shouting or loud laughing or anything like that in my videos.
At this point you might think "Why let's plays? Let's plays are a thing of the past". You might be right. But I'm just doing it for fun. I enjoy recording videos, and I enjoy the fact that there's a few of you out there who even enjoys watching them. I have no illusions about becoming the next big YouTuber or Twitch streamer. It's just a hobby, that I enjoy sharing with other people.
So far I have completed 4 series. Ori & the Blind Forest (Sequel planned in the near future), Little Nightmares, The Last Spell, and Frostpunk. Currently I'm recording and uploading Into the Breach and Tropico 6, which seems to not be super popular, but I'll finish them none the less. As a mini series running alongside the other series, I'm also trying out the games in the Steam bundle called Serene City-builders. I've currently uploaded Cloud Gardens, Townscaper and ISLANDERS, and are now finishing it off with Dorfromantik. Dorfromantik has, however, turned into it's own little series, and is now running alongside Into the Breach and Tropico.
I'm still trying to find a format that works best for me, and originally the plan was 2 videos a day. However, since I also have a job, I quickly found this to be too much. So at the moment I'm aiming for 1 video a day, which should be much more manageable. I have also been thinking a lot about the length of my videos. With games where it's possible, I'm limiting them to 30 minutes. With games where it's not, they'll be however long they have to be.
To give my fair viewers some variety, I've started uploading alternating videos, so it's not the same game being uploaded every day. At the moment the plan is to have a minimum of 2 different series going, but preferably 3.
I'm still trying to find a balance between having a backlog to upload, and not have too many videos waiting to be uploaded, to have a chance to react to any comments that might be. So far it's not a problem, since the amount of comments is limited, but if my channel takes off, it'll most likely be a problem.
In the giveaways I've created, I usually list the games I'm interested in playing in the future. I have however already found that list to be changing pretty much from giveaway to giveaway. So don't take this as a promise, but rather as an indicator of the kind of games I'd like to upload to my channel. These are some of the games I'd love to upload in the future: Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Dead Cells, Hollow Knight and/or Railway Empire. I'm also toying with the idea of doing a longer playthrough of some big RPG. Could be Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Pathfinder, or something similar. I've been told repeatedly that people enjoy my voice, so I'm also considering games with a lot of reading, although my personality doesn't really allow for voice acting just yet.
If my channel is not for you, then no hard feelings. And do not feel compelled to subscribe just for the +1. I highly prefer that my numbers reflect interested people :)

If you've made it this far, than thank you for reading. No matter if you decide to subscribe or not, I'll always appreciate feedback so I can keep improving. With that said though, I of course hope you find something on my channel to your liking.
