Pinned this. Hopefully that's okay.

Good luck. I definitely want to see this take off!

[Xach-Crisis]

Really hope so myself, hopefully it does take off, patience is important this time around

As is support, of which, you have what I can offer.

Oh and hey, if you ever need some music for your channel (intro, outro, etc.) let me know. You can see an example of my work here: http://www.youtube.com/user/MovodaMusicCentral#p/u

Or the easy route, this is just the best I have to offer (plenty of good stuff can be found in the Words download on RRR): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1QlUZ_yzCA

Doing some videos on these games, if possible, could prove useful in a kick start: http://freebirdgames.com/

[Xach-Crisis]

The thing is that first off I would need permission from the creators and secondly, the thing is that the hobbyist/independent game makers has to create their own videos and that means we have to have an agreement, and games like that need high quality channels and IndieGN is in the starting phase, maybe if IndieGN was bigger we could promote them, but right now I don't think it's an option actually, unless they somehow agree to make their videos.

but I gotta say it was a bright plan Cleril, I just don't think they would agree to the terms

Hm, I suppose, I was imagining this project more as at least a video creator, not solely a video promoter.

In that I mean that many of us, including me, simply don't have video editing software (or at least decent software) and/or no skill to make videos ourselves. Now I'm not saying to solely put the work on you, though, perhaps you could do special videos like:

Game design 101, where you pick a handful of RMers who discuss X topic of game design. You'd need voice chat of course.

Videos on games not in the RM vein but still indie. Plenty of those around that are freeware.

Your personal reviews on X games. Maybe gather community support here for this too. Perhaps have multiple people play X game and then do a video review with all of em.

That's all I got for you idea wise, it's all about execution with these things.

And like I said, if for anything you need music just let me know, I can make an original song in no time.

[Xach-Crisis]

Cleril I sent the creators of those games a PM , hopefully he will let me upload some off his videos on the channel, I even went as far as saying I could make the videos of his games myself if that was alright , so let's hope he answers.

Now I would like to head start this, so I'll give people a offer where I make some off the Videos released on the Channel, all I need is a demo or material and I would be all set

People enter you're games; I'll make some videos of them if I have too head start this project!

[Xach-Crisis]

We need games!, anyone who want's to enter their game pm me, I'll check regulary from now on, lets get this thing moving! god damn!

[Kaust]

I'd be more than willing to submit mine (I know some expressed concerns in case they later wanted it to go commercial), unfortunately I think you'll be waiting a long time.
Out of curiosity, what length videos would you desire?

[Xach-Crisis]

Not to long, 40 sek - 1: 30 minutes, not so long actually, but there are no real limits to be honest, but I guess once you reach a 3 - 4 minutes trailer you've gone a bit far lol , but as said no limits

Want me to do some video reviews/critiques/let's plays of games on this site and pm you a DL of the result? I will undoubtedly curse and such though upon doing this if you're against any of that for your project.

[Kaust]

Edit: disregard this, I misunderstood something

[Xach-Crisis]

Sorry was on vacation.

Cleril: Yeah that would be great, we need some starting out material and if you could do some of that, it would be great!

On it, could I also upload the video on my own channel or did you want it just on this one (as in the indie gaming network)?

Basically expect a let's play, critique, and foul language.

I'll have it up for you whenever the game I'm playing in question ends. It's not my own of course.

[Xach-Crisis]

Sure, you can upload it to you're own channel as well , not gonna stop you from sharing you're product stuff man

[pyrofiend324]

Intriguing! If it isn't much of a problem, I'd like you to add my game to the list: http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index....showtopic=54628

It's...admittingly, not very much at the moment (my friend and I have big plans for this thing, though not in the way of money making), but any critiques you have for us will be wonderful.

[Josh1billion]

Looking forward to the channel. Here's my first submission.

Game name: Super Orbulite World

Current status: Complete (released June 2009)
Videos:

All programming (C++), design, music, sound, art (aside from some of the "portrait" images, which I hired someone to draw earlier), etc. was done by me.

More games coming later this year.. see my site at http://www.joshforde.com
