A month ago I decided that narrative analysis essays might also do my portfolio some good, so I set off on creating analytical Let's Play videos on my YouTube channel – first doing a video on the ancient graphical adventure Mission: Asteroid, and then an analytical playthrough of 1982’s Ultima I.

That, for whatever, blew up. Commenters praised my voice, my measured delivery, my explanation of the game as I played through it. In three weeks I’d earned 30,000 views and 800 new subscribers. Then a thousand, meeting the criteria for a YouTube monetization.

So the thing to do now is roll with this as best I can. Let me solicit some advice - should I move my devlog and game trailer videos to a new channel, or keep producing them on what will now be a deep-dive Let's Play channel? Any advice or insight is appreciated.

Hey! My name is Hunter or Ash, and I create lots of groovy stuff.

In particular I record videos on indie games, talking in depth about their designs, narrative, mechanics, vibes, and everything in between while being delightfully and hella lewd.

I am also a writer and an indie developer myself, with my aim to make experiences that are odd, atmospheric, story heavy, and elaborate mechanically.
