7 Days To Die Series starting... um... (Patreon)
Content
The start of a brand new game series is tricky.
Increasingly so given my current density of train and transport officienados. While there are a goodly number (these days) of folks who subscribe to my channel who'll watch me get up to any old nonsense, there's always the concern that a new game simply will not resonate with them. In the worst case scenario, diverting from the popular norm may drive away people who enjoy your core content entirely.
Diversification however, is critical if I'm to be anything other than a one-trick pony, and as much as "the Jingles of Transport Fever" (as I was described in a comment earlier today) isn't a bad place to be, the attention the game is receiving will not last forever so expanding my range is pretty critical.
Transport Fever isn't going anywhere - 4 episodes per week is the plan, and the second season comes with some LOFTY IDEAS. That'll end well.
Regulars here will know of my love for survival games already, and 7D2D is keeping me particularly amused already, he said, getting to the point. As such I'm going to try and nail the first episode for this coming weekend and I need two things from you once it's out:
1. Have I got it right? Is my tone in-keeping with the kind of thing you find entertaining.
2. Would you like to join in? I have a UK-based multiplayer server which may or may not work elsewhere in the world - you won't know if you don't try.You don't have to appear in an episode (unless you want to) and I definitely don't expect it'll be to everyone's taste, but what I found in my ARK series was that I just didn't have the tone right at all. Great notion for a series, terrible execution.
I will, of course take feedback before it happens, but I'd be particularly interested to know what backers think after the first episode is out on Sunday.
Much obliged,
