You are going to upload the halloween game dungeon on saturday again to get more views and come up with something like "I worked all day,didn't even sleep and still didn't finish it on time,right?
P.S Sorry for being rude but it's way too obvious to me at this point,it's been the same since you started game dungeon.
Well first off, yes, you are being rude. You're accusing me of being a liar about working hard on the videos essentially. The fact that you're saying this to me when I HAVEN'T slept recently makes your timing impressively bad also. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that this is a comment made out of wanton ignorance about everything involved with what I do, rather than intended malice. I hope you at least understand how insulting what you're saying is to me. If that's your intent, then congratulations. As a play on words from Metallica: "If you hate me, I don't want you as my fan."
The smart thing for me to do is probably to ban you, because you're showing a complete lack of respect with a comment like that, but just in case, I'll try to deconstruct what you're saying:
-I've never intentionally held a video back from the public for even 24 hours unless it was for a contest that didn't allow for public release until after it was over. The most I'll do is if I see it's going to be VERY late before I'm done, I sometimes push release to the next day during more optimal hours.
-I'm not even aware what days are good or bad to release on, I just get them out when they're done. Obviously for a holiday release, I try my damndest to have it done on or before the holiday. This doesn't mean I'm good always good at that.
-Carnevil was released very late Friday on Halloween and I believe was the longest Game Dungeon I made at the time. The Secret World was released on late Saturday because it was Halloween also a long episode on top of 3 others I did that month. I was also very late on the 4th of July releasing Arcade America. I was also running late releasing Polaris Snocross on Christmas, and even finishing Freeman's Mind before New Year's Day. I almost didn't finish my birthday video in time last year. Many projects unfortunately take more time than I was able to anticipate, so sometimes the only way to make a deadline under those circumstances is to work around the clock. Even recently, I was hoping to have all 3 Deus Ex videos done before the new game released, but wasn't even close to making that.
-Releasing very late in the day is NOT good for views, it means I'm desperately trying to make a deadline. Moreover, releasing a video a WEEK late, is much worse for views than a DAY or hours late.
-I would LOVE to have videos out early. That was even my plan this year, I cancelled 3 videos I was planning on going so I could have a sane amount of time to work. I did not forsee having to clean out a portion of my entire apartment due to the air quality being so bad I was choking on it. This set me back severely.
-I have never lied once about being low on sleep when I say I am or working around the clock on something. It's a source of shame for me when I can't meet a deadline, especially one that's holiday themed. I fucking hate having to lose sleep on a project. Working while you don't have enough sleep is a horrible feeling and means things are not working. I really hope to transition to something that's a little more sustainable in the future. I push myself because I know people want more videos, but I can only deliver something of a minimum quality level so fast. I honestly don't know how some Youtubers are able to crank out quality videos as fast as they do.
-To the best of my knowledge, I haven't lied to anyone online when it's not April Fool's Day. Even if you don't believe anything I'm saying, I'm sure you can look up the times and releases of my many other videos to see it doesn't especially follow a pattern of optimized release dates, or times, when it comes to holiday ones. Afterall, I can't fabricate when the damn videos were released.
All I can figure is if it's "way too obvious" to you that I'm somehow holding back videos to be released on Saturdays, then lying about working on the videos and losing sleep trying to make deadlines, that you have no experience whatsoever making videos with a similar level of effort as what I try to put into mine. I try to be as tolerant as I can, but people who think I just clap my hands together and a video is made can be frustrating to deal with. I share the frustration I haven't produced more than I have, but at the same time, I have an understanding of everything involved with it. In the same way a cartoon is easy to watch, it involves tens of thousands of frames of animation.
Anyway, you can post a defense if you want, but if you make more comments with a similar tone as that, you're going to get banned. People don't have to agree with anything I say, but civil discourse is a requirement for these forums. Accusing someone of lying (especially me, because I KNOW I'm telling the truth about myself) without evidence is not civil behavior. If I ever say something that I'm misinformed on, I encourage people to fact check me, but this is not one of those cases.
