IME, people react very well when you discuss how to turn your concepts and ideas into something concrete for the game. My short and still unfinished series on how to make science matter in games got a steady audience of about 2000, which is completely mindblowing to me! That and well-described clever ways to solve programming problems (since others may want to solve their own), but nobody can be a genius once a week on demand

That makes a lot of sense if you put the idea of game development into perspective. My original goal was to create games with a one month-ish time scope so what I might do is a monthly process of video blogs. However, I still want to do the video editing weekly, to not have myself burnout on the final week of creating a video and deciding what goes into the video. Whats your video series btw? Ill take a look at it maybe as a slight reference to content that I want to create. I hope your series gets even bigger and kudos to you!

Oh, no video series, yet. It's too much work for the stuff I do at the moment, which is still laughably basic (i.e. it would not look impressive on video). I do my blog on GameDev for the programming stuff, while my thoughts on writing can sometimes be seen on my soundcloud or my very poorly structured off-site blog. Some of it I tried to turn into videos, but they're just the audio with a picture behind it, so don't expect too much.

Your blog is really extensive. There's a lot of topics that cover cool topics, it's just I haven't had time to read it. Ill take a look at it but I'm still trying to figure out what I want out of my blog. Once I have the references, and my goals figured out Ill probably start out to something similar with what you are doing. Thanks for the advice too!

It's sort of on hiatus, because someone made a change to a major project I worked on and I have spent months trying to put things back together. And my cat ran away, for the third time in a row. So, basically, life happened. I hope to get back into it soon. Anyway, don't forget to drop a link in here when you do get yours running, would be nice to see it!
