Title: cRPG Livestream/YouTube
Post by: snipercapt on July 24, 2012, 05:12:38 am
Saw an interesting discussion on NA Battle today about livestreaming cRPG, who would be willing to do such a thing, and if anyone thought it was worth doing.
Perhaps we could set up a "cRPG.tv" thing on Youtube and/or Twitch.tv or whatever!

There are TONS of things we could do with this (Just thinking about it makes me all  :mrgreen:)

-Clan Battles
-Tourneys (All Sorts)
-How to videos
-Tutorials
-cRPG Nations Cup (If it ever happens)
-Clan "Spotlights"
-Top Ten Wins/Fails


Of course all of this sounds great in theory, and talking about it makes it seem simple and easy. But the real bread 'n butter of this would be the CREATORS of this content.

All of this would require a bit of planning and organization, and perhaps a way to make this whole thing more OFFICIAL (Perhaps with chadz endorsement yeah right)

What we'd need:

-Broadcasters, requires good personality/hilarity and a computer that can handle streaming
-People with multimedia experience, i.e. Photoshop, AfterEffects, Sony Vegas (and whatever the Adobe thing is)
-Managers, a.k.a. people willing to help with the scheduling and planning(who streams during this time slot, who covers what event)
-Community, it would require the help and support of EVERYONE, and I would love to see everyone included in some way!

My question is, do we, as a community, want this?

If YOU want to help or see this happen, post below! Suggestions also would be greatly appreciated!

AND REMEMBER, I'm just pitching an idea, testing the waters!

With a community with so few players?

Ah, and we reach an impasse! If anything this would increase the player base.

Ehm "IF WE BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME!" mantra...

If the point is to advertise cRPG, a stream would be a bad idea. I think some sort of series of videos would be better. I don't have any ideas in mind, just anything but "My Clan's Siege" or "Let's Play" in the title would do.

I was figuring we'd do both a stream AND YouTube channel, and I agree those would terrible video titles.

Nah, if you got lots of subs maybe on YT.

People could get hooked to a stream if they see a decent-looking game they've never seen before being played, but also a bunch of videos on YouTube would also arouse curiosity towards Mount & Blade and cRPG.

Can't get subs without producing content! Yes I realize it would be an uphill battle, but if its quality stuff I truly believe we can accomplish a lot.

I understand where you're coming from though.  :wink:

Nah, most CRPG/Warband battles look the same. Pretty boring for viewers.

Blackzilla offered to host the YT account of videos people want on youtube so it would be all on one crpg community channel. He didnt get hardly any videos at all other than mine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te2g0ku0tYE&feature=g-upl, but i think this would be a good idea to have a bunch of crpg related videos all onto one channel.

I wager YouTube is going to lure more people in than streaming sites though, as in general streams of already released games only tend to appeal to the established player base while interested customers visit YouTube to check out some reviews and gameplay videos.

No offence but it would be nice if he had made a blank Account, without runescape videos.

Anyways, yes! Makemore videos imagine how cool it would be to have a commentator fly over a scrim, spectator mode, analyzing the tactics and commenting on them! This would also give clans a reason to do their best and perform good!

Thats not my account, BUT if this guys wants to do live streaming and what not, he can have the youtube channel, I was going to name it OfficialCrpgChannel.

Black, just name it official and promote it to get it started.

Setting the basics first and then asking people to contribute works usually best  :wink:

I already have some rough videos created, still debating if its worth the time to render/upload them. If anyone is interested in getting involved PM me.

I have some ad thing I use on my other videos, would I be able to put ads on Crpg videos if I uploaded them, to help pay for servers and what not.

Good luck, RipperX made video documentaries on us but unfortunately he doesn't do any more of that now. It would be nice to get this mod out there on youtube or some streaming site to ultimately get more people interested in this mod and get more people playing it. There are a fair number of cRPG videos on youtube which is great but I know it can be better, I think streaming cRPG oftenly on a site like Twitch tv will be exciting and it will be next big step forward in raisng awareness. Warband has been streamed before, with some nice commentary and quality content at http://www.twitch.tv/warband_battlestream but are innactive at the moment.

I just found someone called Lightmare on Twitch.tv streaming cRPG http://www.twitch.tv/iightmare, great job man :D!

Great idea  :D :D :D  !!
 
It could help to revive the community by pulling fresh blood into crpg.

Crowded servers and active forums are good for all of us!

What needs to be done for that?

PS: this game is hard to find, I thought it was the usual fantasy shit when I saw the offer on steam, after watching the vid´s I was convinced

i think streaming or youtube videos is a good idea but i think without an established streamer/youtube with lots of subs it wouldn't end up bringing a lot of people in.

Pretty much this. Even RippahX views on his CRPG vids was meh imo.

well, ripperx only has ~4k subs which isn't really all that much (for comparison, totalbiscuit has 750k)

Simple answer everyone in c-rpg makes four Youtube accounts and subs to who ever we vote to be the "youtube guy".   then we'll have what.... 400 subs that's a pretty good start.

He doesn't really do cRPG videos anymore. Sad but true.

If anyone is familiar with DotaCinema, I was figuring we just copy their model and have several broadcasters in both NA and EU that can cover all time slots and events.

Lightmare has started a live stream and streams crpg at least one to two times a day.  Throwing in your support and subscribing might jump start more life into the game.  Getting him name and the game out there FTW
