Introducing 💊MICRODOSES💊 (Patreon)

Everything is a game if you look at it like a game designer, and lately I've been learning more and more about the sprawling, bloodthirsty game which is YouTube and its discovery algorithm. My goal when I started the Indie Game Clinic was to provide inde devs with profession-level game design consultancy for free. Well, perhaps not free. Perhaps for the price of having one's creative blood spilled on the operating table with everyone watching, like some bizarre episode of House. So far, I'm really proud of the results, i.e. the eight full-length design review videos you can find in the Critical Playtests playlist. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3n3ExgUASw4AJWyYTdCDQYdHiheSP3er However, it's also become clear to me that the algorithm has different tastes. And while I have already been warned off of Shorts, it's important that I cater somewhat to the TikTok-brained contingent who won't take a punt on anything longer than 10 minutes, if I'm to grow the channel to the point where it can monetize enough for me to make more videos of a higher standard. For this reason I'm trailling a sub-brand 💊MICRODOSES💊 which are generally going to be 5-10 minutes long, and will moslty be comprised of existing content. So if you hate re-runs, avoid these ones! They're there to hook in new folks, show them the goods in a quick and snappy fashion, and hopefully feed them into the playlists where they will learn to love 45 minute videos. Muhaha! Hope you're all doing well, and remember to eat a 🍎 a day.
