Youtube shorts always get like 10x more views than youtube longs
Maybe it’s because people consume more shorts than longs but shorts are a pretty good way to increase popularity
also looking at the footage it pains me that 0.7.1 hasn’t come for mac yet

For now the short has only got a bit over 100 views.

Yeah, it isn’t getting super explosive viewership. Maybe better hashtags are needed? Or we just need to wait to build some audience for that kind of content.

What is the #gamedevjourney hashtag supposed to mean? Is it supposed to be like “in development” or “indie”?

I don’t know, YouTube auto-suggested it so I clicked the button to add it (it also suggested #gaming but I thought that would be so oversaturated that there’d be no point in adding it).

It’s not like there’s a limit to tags right? I see no reason not to add it to an oversaturated mess, tags are a really inefficient categorization system, gaming should be a top level category and gamedevjourney should be a leaf node in the whole tagging nonsense, but since tags are a flat system, it doesn’t have a difference.

They are all in the title so it gets a bit ridiculous if you add more than like 3-4, and the more tags you add the fewer characters your real title can have (as there’s a limit of I think 90 or 100 total characters).

Are you sure the ones holding the RG channel will have enough time for that?

If someone were to make the actual videos, the effort to then post them to youtube would be minimal. So it’s all about if there is someone willing to edit together the videos.

What could such “funny moments” even be? Microbes dancing around each other?

If i’m not mistaken, one of things that influenciate if a short will explode isn’t only the likes, but also the watch time.

What is the best forum game to have been ever made on this or the old forum?

Tbh I would probably try, maybe I will test making a video and see if it’s good.

The more interested people we get from that the better.
