If you can't (and sometimes that's impossible, which I assume might be based on the synergy of clips and reaction cards maybe?) that's less good. If you line them up properly the video flows.
For a video to flow well you need to line up some tabs and slots on the edge of the clips – it's sort of like a jigsaw. This involves laying the clips out along a track and adding effects (depending on the render power of your computer). You might wave hello as you boot up the game, or give a murderous look as the game freezes or something.Īfter that minigame you then need to sew the whole thing together in the edit screen. If it's appropriate it'll augment the quality of the video in some way. You then pick a reaction card from a small selection on screen to accompany the clip. The game will tell you about the clip you're currently recording – maybe you got killed with a headshot, perhaps it's a cutscene, or maybe there's a hard challenge you've just excelled in. Once that's done you put together a video. (You can also buy room decorations, new clothes, the latest games and so on via the online shopping function.)

A better PC will let you plug in more doodads to help with sound and video quality. I'm currently on the second most terrible PC and the second worst headset but the rest is all basic.

That's pretty bare-bones at first and the idea is that you earn money and upgrade as you progress.
#Youtubers life move out how to
You go through the basics like how to look at your shelf to select a game, how to pick a type of video to make and then how to set up your recording suite. This suit-clad you will also try to explain things to you when triggered regardless of whether you've already done them or whether you can afford them, by the way.Īnyway. It's like an exercise in avoiding a paradox by fulfilling the prophecy laid down by this suit-clad you from the future. Then Jessica Fletcher from the future proceeded to tell me what to do by sort of explaining how she remembered starting out before becoming a YouTube sensation. I made a sort of MySims-y version of Jessica Fletcher from Murder, She Wrote and plonked her into the game. Maybe that won't bother you, but for me that idea automatically makes the game feel like a foregone conclusion rather than a space where I can stretch out and make it my own. The person leading the tutorial is actually the successful future version of your character. There's a lot of awkwardness as the game tries to teach you how to play. It does some interesting things, but Youtubers Life is not very good at explaining itself, nor is it very good at making its various systems work harmoniously. My main issue is that I'm not latching onto any of the usual reward loops I find when I get drawn into a sim. The thing is, I get what it is and I'm not going to be snippy about YouTube culture, even though it hasn't really ever grabbed me. You start off living in your mum's house and cobbling together videos with a really basic set up but as you earn more money you can move out, upgrade your tech, buy more games and open up different types of video content. At the moment you can only have gaming channels but it looks like other options will be developed in the future. Youtubers Life is a career sim which has you filling your days with various activities as you try to build a successful YouTube channel. But enough about my life – how's the game? I'm about an hour and a half in, still living with my mum, going to weird parties and uploading basic gameplay videos to an indifferent public. This morning I tried to become a successful YouTuber by playing the Early Access version of Youtubers Life (their capitalisation choice and non-apostrophe, not mine).
