New Channel Plans for 2023 | State of Things #12

Good morning Patrons,

Attached is this months update for the channel, plans, and everything happening. I'll write up the important notes here then you can watch the video if you want me saying the same thing but in a rambling, incoherant, and unscripted form.

Also, new modpack if you're curious and want to take a look, lots of juicy details contained within: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2908695387 

Main channel changes: 

- Second channel content getting a bit more polish and effort, and being moved to the main channel instead.

- Daily Rimworld continuing forever and will remain the main focus for the foreseeable future.

- Will focus on making sure that there are no two consecutive videos from the same series. Rimworld, then other series, even if it takes the usual rimworld slot. Still daily Rimworld, but other content might delay it for freshness.

- This decision came from lots of feedback both saying that second channel content is good enough for main channel AND people struggle to keep up with the main channel content.

- All gaming on the main channel, keeps it more organised, saves people being subscribed all over the place.

Second channel changes: 

- Being used for whatever I feel like, rather than more games. 

- Only subscribe if you like me, probably going to just make videos on whatever I'm interested in at that very moment.

- Might rant about card games, or give a fun presentation on some stupid thing I'm interested in. Or maybe more language videos, those got a staggering amount of views and let me flex my enormous brain.

Elise and Sam channel changes:

- Only content featuring both of us will be here.

- Moving away from the current tea review format, which I'm not happy with, would never watch, and ended up just being complaints/rants.

- Instead, a weekly, sit-down and chat with actual microphones and topics/comments/silly ideas instead.

- Inbetween will be gaming content with the two of us, like we have been doing with the Pokemon Infinite Fusion series that people seem to love, and gets a lot of interaction and views.

Other stuff I'm planning/doing:

- Website; I've been saying this for ages, but I want a website with some written guides for modding, mods, install help, whatever, but somewhere other than Discord.

- Website also needs to have some brief synopsis of series and timeline because all the interconnected stuff is fun for long-term fans, but I've had lots of feedback that it's overwhelming for new people. Probably going to avoid having it too heavy in the future (already working on a plan to help reduce it somewhat).

- Website will also have a big old fan art wall with links to the artists social media pages/whatever they'd like so I can try and give back to them a little bit more.

- Moving house. One day. If every fucking property owner in this country wasn't a predatory, thieving, greedy piece of shit that keeps trying to pull fast ones on people just looking to live their lives. We live in a society.

- Culturing myself. I saw a list of '100 top films you should watch before you die' and I've decided why not, I'm very good at multitasking, and it would be easy to fit in during rending/upload/thumbnail making.

- Health improvements. Mindfullness, lots of vegetables. All that boring stuff.

- Renewing my vow to not take any sponsorships because I hate these unceasing, all-consuming companies and I won't work with any of them except the ones I trust, and even then only if I'm interested in what they're peddling, which at this point is like two companies.

- And no, Youtube, I don't give a shit how many times you email, I'm not doing fucking shorts. Good lord.

Once the new series is off the ground and out I'll be responding to all of your messages, revamping the Patreon, and fixing a few things that have been on my to-do list forever at this stage. Hopefully the new modpack/video will be done by the end of today, but at the very latest things will be done tomorrow!

Thank you for your patience as always, 2023 will be our collective year.
Or the sun will expand and swallow the earth whole.

Your good pal,

Sam
