In this video I take indie web-based game "Realm of the Mad God" out for a spin, first time launch



Tell me what you think?

You played a game and mumbled to yourself. The only reason I watched it all the way through was to see the game play itself out. Your dialog offered nothing to keep anyone watching.

Might have been interesting if you made it out to the actual game itself as the tutorial is quite worthless.
And your voice could have had been less mumbly and a bit higher so i could get a feeling you were talking to ME and not the computer.


The result of origin.. Oh and ponies

You came across as a little timid, I think you need to be able to engage your game full on. Perhaps use a bit of wit to get a reaction out of the viewers. See Oolite's comment. If something's cool, make it sound cool, if it's ridiculous make it look ridiculous, if something is awful make it seem awful.

But, I know doing a YouTube video can be a little difficult because you kind of feel self-conscious doing it. I've tried doing a video blog and ended up hating it so much I deleted the videos and stopped. Weirdly enough, I was involved in student radio and was nominated presenter of the year for one of my shows, it's interesting how the 2 are different, but then one's recorded and the other is live. When live, if you're making a prat of yourself you can't go back. Still, when I first started, I'm sure I was quiet and just built my confidence up to the level of banter I used to have.

I think the technique could be to engage your audience as though you're talking to them, you're showing them this new game you're playing and you want to talk to them about it, perhaps pretend there's a invisible person you're talking to.


Anyways, I hope this helps with your YouTubing endeavours.

you my friend need to watch the movie Hitch.

But yeah beef up the HYPE FACTOR in that BE SHARP AND CLEAR!!! and PUNCHY!

Try looking at tech review videos on YT like TechRadar they can show you how to be PUNCHY! with your words... build up the confidence too!

Aside from the poor GFX and art work it looks like a really good piece of software. Obviously he has spent some time working on the project and it appears to work fairly bug free. I think it’s a great game. Just needs the art work polished a little. I understand you were going “old school” but even then you could polish the tiles up a tad. Anyway, great looking game; I have no clue what everyone else is talking about. Better then a lot of games I’ve seen on here.

I wouldnt want the art any more polished as it would lagg like shoes in crowded areas, it lags even now (mostly server lag, which would increase)

ALSO: I like these graphics, theyre extremely simple and theyre nice to look at for me atleast. + it makes battle easier to keep track of

@old_School - He didn't make the game. He was playing a game someone else made. The retro look is intentional.
