New YouTube Channel

It actualy does looks really simiiar to Maxis logo. And Maxis made Spore, so i fear that some people will think that our logo resembles Maxis one.

The only similar part is the crescent, and I'll be Belgiumed if Maxis has a copyright on that (and I'm sure not too many Muslims will be happy about that either), so let those people think that. It really doesn't matter, and I think we have an awesome logo.

I really don't think any Muslim will care, especially since it doesn't remotely resemble the Islamic crescent... was that even sincere? Lol.

It was a joke. That's not even my point.

Since the last video uploaded to the channel was a week ago, I'll probably upload another microbe theme later today.

EDIT: And here it is:

sounds nice oliver....

It's actually one of Doggit's. I was just uploading it to the official channel. But yes, it is nice. I think it's one of my favourite microbe themes.

Thanks :oops: 

Good job on the song. I think I might create my own microbe gameplay theme.

Sounds good, I like it.

Here's another microbe theme I just posted to the new channel:



I think it might be a good idea to start posting things other than music.

Yeah definitely, do we have anything other than music we can upload? If not, maybe we just need an update, sort of dev blog thing?

We're working on the next podcast.

Since there's been a distinct lack of videos uploaded to the official Revolutionary Games channel recently, Doggit suggested to me that we should start uploading more themes, so that eventually all the music on both his channel and mine will be in a sort of Thrive music repository, easily accessible on the main channel. I know ~scio said that we shouldn't be posting too regularly and should only upload music which has actually been officially approved for the game, but in the opinions of both myself and Doggit, since ThriveGameIta is now Thrive Game Italia for the Italian fans, we definitely need another place to store our music.

Make sure to specifically store it in a "Music" playlist.

I think it's probably time to think about updating the YouTube channel, as it currently features the preview video, two podcasts recorded several months ago (that'll also need to be addressed), two themes that aren't actual music composed for Thrive and a couple more unrelated themes. I think all the music on the channel should probably be taken down, partly to remove the themes used without permission, and partly to keep the channel cleaner.

Although, apart from a third podcast (with or without Quasar), what else could be uploaded soon?

I think a new podcast is the top priority. In addition, maybe more frequent, shorter, dev-updates would be beneficial. They would go over recent progress and a quick changelog, and would only be 3-4 minutes in length. This would keep a more active presence in the community.

I agree with the idea to delete all music from youtube, but maybe once evcery half year upload 1 big video with all the music from that year in it.
This would be handy because there are people on youtube that actively listen to the Thrive themes and give their opinion on it, and I don't think they will like it when the music is deleted.

And those short update videos sound nice.

Agreed, more frequent shorter dev updates are an excellent idea. :) 

We obviously shouldn't delete Thrive's music from everywhere on YouTube (just the official Revolutionary Games channel), but I do like the sound of longer compilations comprising all the music for a specific stage or scenario, but those can only be uploaded once that section of the soundtrack has been decided on.

I agree that individual themes should not be on the channel. The music could be on there in whole tracks, with for example the entire soundtrack for the microbe stage being one video.

I agree 100% with nick , shorter updates, remove the music.Have videos with all music composed for a month or year (whichever)

I think it would be better, as Nick said, to have all music for the microbe stage featured in a single video. Of course, this obviously can't go through until the complete soundtrack for the stage has been finalised.
