Solis guard RPG prologue
So whats new in the world on the Dragon Knight?
Well.... I'm producing a game, and RPG to be precise, so I bought RPG maker vx ace and thought, why not get my ideas into a game at long last, so here I am sat at my computer with a "blank canvas" world.

RANT BLOG
This is aimed at quite a few but there is a minority exempt from this RANT about younge youtubers with loads of subs
Plain and simple, Quality, will a 15-16 year old have the know how to make 3D animation, compose music and mix all their audio sources in a video editing software that isn't windows movie maker? Most likely not.
How do they get their followers and are they True followers, do the content creators plan interact with their followers face to face? usually not and they get followers by spamming forums/facebook pages, you know how annoying that is, we've all been there at some point on a facebook group and you get 10 of the same bloody video within a day.
And then they get press passes for events like comic con over people who put loads of time and money into their channels but don't seem to get as many views!

Why I will not be joining Maker Studios
right so if you follow me on twitter you've most likely just seen my posts about maker studios and I feel i should go into more detail than a tweet can provide, this is personal opinion and how i want to run my youtube channel.
Basically I went on the Maker Studios web site to join up after being rejected earlier in the year. Now as most websites do have a TOS [terms of service], most don't read them, well because this is business I really had to, after reading through it came to advertising and it said along the lines that Maker Studios would have the say as to if a video had adverts, well I thought what else are they wanting control of and i read through and thought "well this'll mean I'll loss control of my channel and that will not be good for my subscribers". Now to me subscribers are more important than the money it's self as they are the basis of the channel and through that what income I may get, now I don't want to loss control and loss those subscribers I have as one thing I'd like to do at some point is hold a meeting with the few subs I have to help me generate ideas to make the channel better, but more on that later.
This will most likely damage my chances of join the yogscast as an editor or talent [ether or is fine] but I'm not going to loss what little control I have to get to that goal.

Making YouTube a job?
Now I know many YouTubers would love to make it a full-time job like I'm trying to do, there are 2 ways I think this is possible and I'll explain why. This is entirely based off of my own experience and opinions so don't take this too seriously!
1: Make a single videos that goes viral, now this is the most obvious but hardest option, this requires you to be able to make something that'll hit the internet like a storm and pave away for more videos from you to be watched because of that viral hit. The main problem with this is once you go viral you have to keep meeting people expectation as to the quality of your videos and with such a way that your not repeating your self but at the same time your keeping to the original values laid down by that first video.
2: Be consistent and slowly build your audience, this way you really find your true fans as they'll keep coming back to your videos and not just because they saw one video. If you follow this route you'll have a more stable fan base and a more stable income as fans will continue coming back to your videos and watching them all the way through.

The woes of Ad-block on youtube
Now many people use Ad-blocker to skip those annoying ads at the beginning of YouTube videos, that's fair enough for general browsing, but let me explain the problems with that....
Now most of you know about the Yogscast, they earn all their money from adverts on their channels, this allows them to make the videos in the first place. Now if everyone used Ad-blocker on their videos they would quickly go out of business and you'd lose one of your favorite YouTube groups because you where lazy enough to use Ad-blocker, so why do people use it when it harms the YouTube community to a point that some YouTuberes can't turn YouTube into a full time job.
Now I'm in this situation too as I'm trying to make a job out of it and I have noticed hundreds of views on my channel not being monitised as people are using Ad-blocker to skip the ads on my videos. This behavior is harming the YouTube community and stopping people from doing what they love!
so if you are reading this and have a shred of decency, PLEASE TURN OFF AD-BLOCK ON YOUTUBE!
