Guess what, everyone! Our Virtual Bastion Youtube channel finally reached 1,000 subscribers just a few days ago! It’s been a long journey that took several years (I want to say 6-7, but I can’t remember at the moment) and roughly 2,500 videos! Starting out, we were lucky if we got even 1 view per video, which is understandable, but a bit disheartening after all the work we had put in. Now we can get 15 or 20 or even 30 views on a video within the first day or so, and our subscribers are growing faster, as well. Not to mention we are getting more supportive comments from long-time viewers to let us know our videos are appreciated.
Last year, horror games Little Nightmares 2 and FNAF: Security Breach performed quite well, and Nostalgic Notions is pretty popular, too. This is a series Cary created where we play about 15 minutes of retro games, so you can get an idea of what a game is like in a short period of time. She and I have recorded a lot of videos for that series over the years, spanning Atari, Sega Genesis, NES, SNES, and more! More recently, Miitopia has been rather popular and is still ongoing. In this cute and silly RPG, you can choose the faces for every character in the game using Mii’s that you or other players have made. It’s quite a hoot! I also must give Hatm0nster credit for creating the thumbnail overlay! Our videos definitely look better now that they have proper thumbnails!
Now that we’ve reached such an important milestone, I look forward to seeing to what new heights our channel will soar in the coming years!
