My current circumstances and future outlook aren't bright if I'm unable to secure some kind of freedom financially. It's my main driver of depression.

I started learning game development about a year ago, and I decided my last-ditch effort at freeing myself from work would be to give content creation a shot. I've had minor successes with it so far, but overall it hasn't gone well.

I'm curious if anyone here is interested in giving me feedback on some of the videos I've made - trying to understand what's not working from the perspective of people who'd watch them. None of my friends are interested in the types of videos I make, which is perfectly fine, but I'm not sure how much weight to put on their feedback.

I have to say: this is not at all an attempt at promoting myself. I'm aware the drivers of a video's success are click-through-rate and watch time from natural algorithm promotion, not forum views. Mods, if you get any hint self-promo from this post, please delete it. I'm happy to share a link to some vids over DM if anyone would like to tear them apart for me. Thanks and I hope you're all doing OK today.

I would if you want. I can't promise to be of any help or anything but I've been an amateur game dev myself, learning basically everything from YouTube and am currently learning 3d-modeling. Please consider that I barely have experience outside of the Unity game engine but if you think I can be useful Dm me, I'd love to help. Just please don't expect an immediate response, I'm not here daily :)

I can watch your stuff.
I do game development as a hobby too, no way a professional but I've done it for a few years. I don't know shit about content creating though. I do also know video editting.

Hey me too. Joey Carlino's Blender tutorials are great IMO. I'll send you a DM - appreciate it!

I appreciate it greatly - I'll send you a DM. No worries on the content creation piece, it will be interesting enough to learn about things from a viewer's perspective.
