Topic: Looking to start a youtube gaming group, Looking for people.

Expand

Alright let me start by saying that stuff could very well change as this progresses. Right now im just going to share the base format of what I want to do. Do I have a plan, Yes.....Will it go as planned? Your guess is as good as mine. lol

I am code naming this project as "Duel Lets Players" (Name will be changed, just something to call it for now.)

To put things in a very simple way, I want to do lets races with people on games. However I don't want to call it a race. I want to take a different approach. I want to focus on it being more of a casual , fun social time while playing though a game.

Now I am not saying hardcore speed runners cant join, that would be ridiculous. I am simply just saying, If they do want to join then just be aware this is not a heavy competitive group. I am also accepting people that might be average to bad at older style of games.

Next let me try to explain the process leading up to the event/group playing.

With out knowing when this will start (Depends on how quick i get people that are interested), Each month I will post a small list of games Somewhere (FB, Twitter Not really sure yet). Everyone in this group will then give two votes. There number 1 game they want to group play. They will also pick a number 2 game. (A fall back in case there first game choice has two many people for a single group.) How ever maybe if the one game get so many votes then maybe I will do two group sessions. Though I suspect the most common thing that will happen is Some people might get pushed into there 2nd choice to fill up that group. If you get pushed back to your 2nd choice, it will not go unnoticed. If you have previously been pushed backed to your 2nd choice of game then I will look to try to push for your first choice in the next month/game vote.

That is the general set up to build a group/event. Next I will talk about the format of the youtube video for the group. Now each group will have at least a minimum of 4 people....I have not decided if I want the standard for a group to be 4 or 6 people. Guess it depends just how quick this gets peoples interest. Basicly there will be a background image to represent the game being played and I will place everyones video/perspective of the said game on the image. Everyone is going to be playing the game at the same time, So to add to the social part of it, everyone in the group will be in a skype call that way everyone can chat and react off of each other.

A final thing to add to that is I will also be voting for a game i want to play. If I am not participating in a group then I will most likely be hosting a group.

As you would assume, everyone will be responsible for there own recordings. (its required that you need to be able to record. If your interested and do not have a recording software, I can recommend one) I of course need to receive the other recordings to be able to edit it all together, the tricky part is being able to send it to me as they will be roughly big files. The best way I know is threw skype since if the sender or reciever have to leave during the file sending, the next time they are on skype with each other, the file sending will pick up where it left off percentage wise. The other option is file sharing websites which i have never used. So this is open for discussion if anyone knows a better way.

I think the final part I want to bring up thats important is Anyone can do what they want with what they record. (post on there own channel and such). However (still a working process) What im going to do with the video i edit together will be posted on my gaming channel. Then there will be a 2nd editor will cut down my uncut video to be shorter and to the most interesting parts. The cut down versions will be posted on the channel made for this group project. There will be a link in the description of the cut and uncut videos leading to each other. I am doing things this way so I can cater to everyone. Some people don't have the time or get board watching really long videos and some people want to watch the video and see it all.

The games are going to be NES games to start with then maybe after awhile move into SNES games....then who knows where.

I think I got out everything I think I wanted to. Guess all that left is to list the requirements real quick.

What you need, Recording software, Mic, Skype(debateable if another group speaking program is popular enough), A decent amount of freespace left on the hard drive. The files that are recorded are not compressed at all so they are big. Is there a age limit? Well sort of....let me explain. 18 and on I am alright with, Most people should be rather mature, SHOULD BE being the key words. Anyone under 18 can be interested, I just have to chat with you to try to see where your mature level is at. I guess all i am saying is people under 18 have to prove there mature level to me I suppose. lol

If you are interested just reply here or if you want to jump right to it add me to Skype or Steam
