One small criticism, hopefully constructive. The volume spike at about 0:18 is a bit jarring, and with headphones unpleasant. Compared to most videos on youtube your voice sounds low, so that may be the issue. I had to turn the volume up when the video started. Hope this helps, and the content of the video was outstanding. Subbed

Appreciate it! Definitely will have to look into other microphones!

these advices seem really basic, but it's astonishing how often people do the trailers completely wrong hoping for more advanced trailer tips, subscribed

Appreciate it! Yep, the basics are always good as a reminder. Definitely plan on getting deeper in later vids

Some good advice here. I definitely did the coming soon thing & didn't mention which platforms. Some things I'll keep in mind before creating another trailer.

So many trailers get crazy hype when the gameplay looks like the same old tired junk. Gamers talk tough, but they want comfort food wrapped in sparkly vampires.

Hey, just a tip, your channel is set to "made for kids", please remove it from kids category otherwise No one will get notification when you upload, basically growth will be horrible.

In fact, the first point is what I was trying for years with a game called "Randy & Manilla". A game that deals with two characters that by design and names would be easy to recognize in theory, but in practice it doesn't seem to be working at all well, and there are those who don't even know their names despite the fact that the game even tells them by the title, or because they don't identify themselves.

@ofihombre Місяць тому

But well, We'll see when they start playing it.

@DesignedByTaz Місяць тому

That’s very interesting how they would not know when it’s in the title. How did you find out that it wasn’t working, have you been speaking with these testers?

@ofihombre Місяць тому

@@DesignedByTaz Normally those who didn't identify with the characters were more people who played the game for the first time. Yes, the game was tested by dozens of beta testers, but what has been criticized the most wasn't the character designs, but the gameplay, camera and some strange ones that I didn't know why.

I am working on an updated Mech Shuffle trailer now, so this was a very fortunately timed video for me =)

@DesignedByTaz Місяць тому

That's freaking awesome. What great timing, hoping it helps!!!!

Please don't use seasons in release time frames, there is this thing called the Southern Hemisphere and people live there. Put actual months so gamers don't need to do Fall -> Autumn -> Spring in their head. Yes Steam does it in their sales event names, doesn't mean everyone else should.

Ohhhhhh that's a good one, thanks for sharing that!!!
