Salutations.
I have a small youtube channel where I (mostly) do "let's play" series of games I enjoy. My intent when I first started was to cover games that were either forgotten or overlooked. It's a formula I've stuck to, for the most part.
Since I don't want to step on any toes I always ask the developers for permission after having done a couple of parts. I've only just completed the excellent Technobabylon series, with permission and a blessing from James Dearden, and thus I'm on the prowl for more games to cover. I have a list of about a dozen AGS games I want to cover and will send some e-mails asking for permission to do so starting next week.
But I figured I'd ask here first. Is there anyone who wants a let's play of their game? During my short stint as a game developer I found it extremely helpful when people recorded their blind playthroughs of my games since it enabled me to figure out exactly where and when players got stuck. What was too obvious and what was simply too obscure. I can vocalize my thought process as verbosely as you prefer.
Since you don't really know me I'll list the most salient points.
1. I do not monetize my let's plays, there are no ads or other commercialization of them. I love the medium, that's the only reason I need.
2. I don't do facecams, intros, add music, scream shrilly or anything else of that nature. If I did I might actually have viewers, see next point. I cover the game and only the game.
3. My channel is miniscule in stature so I doubt it'll give you any exposure worth mentioning.
4. I tend to narrate every single strip of text in a game I play. This is because I was requested to do so by a friend of mine who has a seeing disability. However that is optional, if you want me to put a sock in it and just voice my own thoughts that's totally fine.
5. I can do both prepared let's plays and blind ones. It doesn't matter to me, but I'm guessing a blind will be more helpful on a mechanical level. When I do a prepared LP I play through a game twice, record each session. Watch them, take notes and then record the final, prepared session. My technobabylon LP below is prepared, my LP of the living nightmare series is blind.
That's about it. Never done a public request before and I doubt it'll receive particularly many replies but I wanted to put it out there since I love the concept of AGS and its community. Some of my favorite games and series (of all time) have been released here over the last decade. If I can help in some small way I'd like to do so.
