    Well, following up my previous post about YT… You probably already know by now that YT changed the monetization requirements, again. Since yesterday and affecting all channels, no monetization is possible if the channel does not have at least 1K subs and more than 4K hours of viewing time during the last 12 months. That’s on top of the 10K views requirement they added a few months ago. This will kill all small channels, or take away any incentive for creating new channels… Anyway this affects my 2nd channel, not because of the subs but because of the view time that is far less than 4K hours… So yeah, if you guys like somebody’s channel and never bothered to sub, this is the time to help out your favorite creators…

    Well, considering that channels which don’t meet the requirements already don’t make any money, it can hardly be said youtube is “killing” smaller channels.

    But you are missing a small detail, YT’s suggestion algorithm favors monetized videos, (because it wants to make money) so small channels with no monetization and no subscribers can only be reached using search (with filters and very specific keywords) otherwise you are invisible. I made my channel in 2012 but it only started to grow after I turned on monetization in 2016. For the first 3 years subs and views were only coming from the embedded vids on my web site.

    Were’d you got that from? I’m not partnered, I don’t even meet the criteria and I have no monetized videos, and ~45% of traffic came from the recommended page. The trend even went up in the last year to 50%, which is more than twice as much as the traffic from the searches. Since my channel grew enough to keep the traffic sources consistent (~150 subs), the suggesions were always the top source, certainly you can’t expect the system to work the same as it did back in 2012. You can even have my graph from the past year:

    (the blue part is the traffic from the suggestions)

    maybe you don’t see any videos from smaller channels in your suggestions box because, well, smaller channels are generally disadvantaged.

    I got it from analytics, same as you.
    Look at the jump in the grow chart by year, (ignore the 2018 no data drop)

    The rapid spike from 2015 to 2016 is when I enabled $.

    Have you ever wondered how the illuminati vids look in the editor? Probably not, but anyway, this episode 8 from the second season.

    Hey, just to keep you guys in the loop, I’ve being quiet on the forums because I’m coding the game 24/7, I’m spacing the vids to save more time to develop. During the last week I finished the design and layout of the GUI modules, sliders, menus, energy bars and buttons… The Corsaire Gun ship cockpit gui is finished but not hooked entirely to the real data and functions.
    I also made the Dark Matter Drive interior and shader FX. Work on the Alien (mob) 3D model, and the first male character 3D model. Added the smaller alien mob ships and coded a very early behavior for it.
    I’ve also fixed the ship’s flying to make it more stable and tweaked the physics.

    This week i’ll work on the damage system, plus the multiserver scenes to be able to build the main base.

    I can taste the alpha, and I’m really looking forward to try it out with you guys. :D

    ayy, that physics-defying technicolor anime hair. Will it receive jiggle physics or stay put like concrete? Will you be able to change it? I prefer buzzcuts for my nuke-tossing army people.

     

    Oh btw, why did you rename the game?

    A good question is, will there be dancing? But on a serious note adding DOA physics would please the fandom.

    @HB Yeah there’s going to be different wigs to choose from, the hair will move and jiggle a bit, not true physics tho just some shader magic

    Maybe I rename the first version of the game again haha

    @titan @thein @frost Yep there will be dancing emotes and taunts. :)
