Topic: Looking for some advice.

[BlkPaladin]

I guess I have lurked for long enough so I'm coming up to post something for the first time in while, so I'm looking for some advice on a youtube channel, I'm thinking on doing; and wanted to get some feedback before I do so, to see if there is any interest in it.
The videos would be about how to cheaply get into gamedevelopment. I would cover the basics and point the users to free resources to get more. I will also show them free-to-cheap legally obtained development tools. I would maybe latter go into more depth on some topics.


I was also planning to something like a series of story telling videos where I would sit there and tell a story using just an outline. Plus maybe some video game editoral etc, which I think a  little overdone on youtube so I wasn't considering making it the focus of the channel.
So what do you guys think?

Yes do this, I will not only subscribe but I will gladly contribute to a project such as this. What kinds of videos would you do though? I wouldn't worry about what is over done on Youtube if it's good content then people will watch your channel too.

Sounds like a good idea, I would subscribe. I don't know if I will have a career in game development, but I definitely plan on making or working on a few games soon for various platforms. I start intro to software engineering tomorrow at school so I'm definitely interested.

As some older posters would know, at least I think, I went to school for this, I have a lot of resources already. The point of the videos isn't for people who want to become professionals but hobbyists. I was planning for first an overview then go more in depth on topics. I was going to set them up similarly to lessons.

I also have experience as a public orator so it will help for the most part. (I also took classes in acting for summer school at times.)

Well since I'm getting positive feedback from this and the other places I have asked about this I will do it. I probably will not be up and running this week but soon. (I have most, if not all the equipment I need to make decent videos. I have to write up a script and practice it and set up my account for it on youtube.

Sounds great, looking forward to it.
