@minor falcon there you go

#

Actually, I got recommended to delete the "Chapter 1" from the title because its already specified on the thumbnail

This is actually really well done in terms of composition. Yt recognizes faces and expressions, but also when it comes to capturing attention, i think the image cane be slightly brighter with more saturation. Mainly in the midtones and mouth area of the monster thing. Its just slightly undercontrasted. The spanish type on the right, is that a spanish monster? Spanish spoken video? Spanish demographic? If its not spanish, i would delete it since cpm is much lower than usa and some eng speaking countries.

#

The title “i got lost in the toy factory” is not a good title. Yt may misinterpret the title to push to a younger audience initially, but also in correlation to the thumbnail, there are no toys, factory, looking lost…. And then the monster is already revealed without any intrigue. You essentially give away everything in the thumbnail. The height of your fear when the monster in in your face is underwhelming as well. I would be running full speed looking straight ahead in terror.

#

I think there are perspectives you can use to show maximum terror without revealing everything in the thumbnail. Anyways, i think you are well on your way with the right idea overall, but i would be more mindful of the cohesiveness to aim for high ctr.

Mazelee actually gave some solid advice. This picture first and foremost needs some contrast, brightness and saturation. It's gonna compete with very highly saturated thumbnails and it needs to pop, even as a horror video. Best way to see what works is by looking at people in the same niche, playing poppy playtime and what style of thumbnails they are going for.
I'll keep the spanish text and chapter 1, adds more clarity to the fact that it's a spanish video

#

Also yeah, the title is too underwhelming.
In the horror niche you need to use buzzwords to make it pop, like "horrifying" or "terrifying"

glacial magnet
#

I changed the title to "Horrors in the Factory ☠️ | Poppy Playtime Chapter 1"

minor falcon
#

Something like "A MONSTER Lies In This Abandoned Factory"

glacial magnet
#

Oyeee

#

Good idea, Mexy San

minor falcon
#

and also, since it's in spanish,
you can go for a direct spanish title for your video

#

or you should specify in the title too that it's Spanish

glacial magnet
#

Yeah, I'm just translating what i'm coming up with so English speakers understand it

minor falcon
#

it'll help the algorithm find the right audience as it uses title, thumbnail, description everything for its metadata

glacial magnet
#

Here in the server

#

Damn

#

It doesn't have a description

minor falcon
glacial magnet
#

I have to make one

minor falcon
glacial magnet
#

Yeah

#

I saw your channel

minor falcon
#

all my videos are either

#

A MONSTER, TERRIFYING, AHHHH SCARY

#

titles

glacial magnet
#

They're not my thing to be honest

#

But I love mascot horror character design

minor falcon
#

Same as any genre of gaming

glacial magnet
#

I bought both bendy games

#

They were on sale

#

Like 10$

minor falcon
#

hell yeah

glacial magnet
#

Yeah

#

Maybe I'll enjoy them

#

I like FNaF

minor falcon
#

mascot horrors are great

#

well, most

glacial magnet
#

Yeah...

minor falcon
#

unless it's like garten of banban

glacial magnet
#

sighs in Garten of Banban

#

We're thinking the same thing haha

minor falcon
glacial magnet
#

Damn, that's dedication

#

I just like the some of it's concepts here and there

#

For me, FNaF is a mixed bag

#

Mostly mid experiences, a few good ones

#

And a lot of overcomplicated stuff

#

By the way, @minor falcon

#

Would you mind if I show you my Steam library?

#

So you can recommend me what could I play next after Poppy Playtime Chapter 1

#

...I don't have the 10 bucks for chapter 2 lol

minor falcon
#

it's a mascot horror and it's free on steam

#

what genre are u aiming for

glacial magnet
#

I'd aim for platformers

#

It's my favorite genre of games, even tough I'm pretty bad

#

Maybe I should give some good talk in compensation, right?

#

I bought Sonic Mania

#

And an obscure indie platformer with Splatoon-like mechanics

minor falcon
#

even if you're bad at it, it'll make fun content if you make it entertaining

#

you should always play games you enjoy because you'll have to do it for years if u wanna be successful

#

and it's gonna burn u out if you don't enjoy it

glacial magnet
#

Yeah

#

I don't want to feel burnt out like Markiplier

#

Haha

#

I've heard he's getting tired of FNaF

minor falcon
#

markiplier isn't burnt out tho

#

he is an indie horror channel

#

he still plays indie horror

#

just not fnaf

#

and he's so big now he can play whatever

#

people will watch

glacial magnet
#

Yeah, that makes sense

#

So, playing everything is more for big youtubers

#

But for smaller ones it's recommended to play similar games so it stays consistent for your audience, right? @minor falcon

minor falcon
#

the harder you niche in, the easier to grow because people come back more often

glacial magnet
#

Maybe a few exceptions here and there in the niche wouldn't hurt the channel, right?

#

I could do some kind of off topic dynamic at some point

#

But first, I'll focus on platformer stuff

#

And a few indie horror games

minor falcon
#

because initially people would come for your niche

#

and then they'll stay for your personality

glacial magnet
#

I'll need to adapt my personality for videos

#

Not changing it, but learning to drop some creative comments based on who I am as I play

#

Thinking out loud without feeling vague

glacial magnet
#

@minor falcon Hii, Mexy!

#

I'm doing a thumbnail for a new video

#

I need some feedback on it, if you don't mind

minor falcon
glacial magnet
#

I actually made the intro
