  What I like the most about you is that you talk a lot about your beginnings. When you talk to us, you always remember that you were one of us, looking for more views and trying to market your games. I feel like you understand us, and I think you deserve all you have achieved!

  YES! Us YouTubers LOVE testing out new games in our niche (I do Space/Rocket/Sci-Fi)!!! But I would STRONGLY suggest more than a month (2 months is better!) in advance to release to get us enough time to play the game prior to its release so we can get our vidoes out in time!<br><br>I&apos;ll also say for the views, having multiple camera views in your game help Youtubers alot at showing the game even though its not the typical player view (think travel videos with drone shots, you as a traveller will never see from that aspect &nbsp;but it does a good job in showing off the whole region). So sneaking that into your game and giving YouTubers that feature helps us help you!<br><br>And Media packages, links to those makes making vidoes on you game and coverage on basic pitches etc so much easier.<br><br>Also: And I say this nicely... games with a lot of swearing (that you can&apos;t turn off) hurt as YT and Algorthrim tag these words (spoken or written) and de-rank videos for profanity, so if you starting video cinematic intro is &quot;F do you want to live you S O Bs marines???&quot; its not going to do well... sorry.

  If you find youtubers that match the target audience of your game, I think it is always worth reaching them, even if they have a very small audience. Having someone play your game and record both the game and their reaction is really such an useful feedback. It may not convert to a lot of wishlists, but you will see how people react to your game. With Twitch it is even better because you can also the reaction of the viewer live.

  I really needed to see this! I launched my game a few days ago and I&apos;ve been struggling to get people to cover my game!

  I think your channel will get more and more popular the more games you review and show.

  Very insightful tips. I&apos;ve already collected a small list of streamers and plan to add more when the demo build is ready. Wouldn&apos;t surprise me if I can find 200 of them. A streamer I talk to already has a 1 month waiting list. Probably safe to assume that could be normal for many more of them.
