Starting an Interactive Lets Play!

Post by Alexandus »

Hey community! Its been a while since I've perused these forums but I hope you all are well!

I'm writing here because I thought you guys might enjoy this the most, though I am opening it up for all. I am starting a Lets Play of Distant Worlds: Shadows where I will be utilizing the suggestions of the comments to decide what happens in the next segment of gameplay. I dont know if this has been done before or not but I wanted to try it out for myself to see if its even remotely successful. I think that it would be fun to try out, not so much as a super serious experience, but as something that can be fun and semi-relaxing (I dont plan on having super hard difficulties and such, just so you know)

But regardless of all this, I wanted to give you guys a link to my channel and hope that you take a look at it. I will put a link up of the video as its posted because after posting this, I'm going to record the video and post it on my channel.

My youtube channel name is alexandus62, or just search Alexandus on youtube! (Unable to post a link apparently)

Hope to hear from you guys!

Thats correct, thank you for posting it!

EDIT: After talking with a fellow Youtuber, he suggested I make one video announcing what I plan on doing and see what the feedback is from people that see the video as well, so I've just recorded that and will post it now.

EDIT EDIT: Initial video is posted on my channel, be sure to comment with your thoughts/support if you're interested in participating and being on the "council" of sorts! [;)]

I generally at this point try to incorporate every idea that is given, because there are only a handful of people that are tossing up suggestions on what to do. If more people get involved and suggestions begin to conflict, I'll have to go with a majority vote style of system, with the suggestion that gets agreed to by other viewers the most, gets incorporated.
