This is no requirement to enter or win this giveaway, but if you could spare a couple of minutes of your time, please read on.

TLDR: New YouTube channel, link is at the bottom. Please consider checking it out and subscribe if you like the content. The following is info about me and my channel.

I have recently started up a Youtube channel. It's just a hobby for now, and not meant to be any source of income. So far, I've found a bit of success from advertising my channel in these giveaways, so I'm going to continue to do so. If you feel like you could spare a couple of minutes, I'd highly appreciate you checking out the channel, and subscribing if you like the content.

Short info about my channel: I'll be doing Let's Plays of various short to mid length games, in what I hope to be a chilled and relaxed atmosphere. The channel will mostly include games that tick either one or more of the following genres: Adventure, puzzle, strategy, management, survival, post-apocalyptic or story rich games. I'm no genius of the games I'll be playing. I'll mostly try to play games blind. Sometimes I'll make mistakes, I'll be slow, and I'll be learning. I'm sure you'll find plenty of moments where the solution is obvious. If you're looking for high level plays, my channel will not be for you. My playthroughs will be in a down-to-earth and relaxed atmosphere. I will do my utmost to try and commentate in a calm manner. Hopefully with time, I'll start to open up a bit, and there'll be more jokes thrown into the mix, but it'll always be in a quiet and relaxed tone. For now, you'll mostly deal with my shy introvert self. Also note that english is not my native language, and if you do watch my videos, I think that'll be fairly obvious to you from time to time. To a degree I'll also be uploading my failures.

I know I've said "relaxed" a lot. But I really want to emphasize what kind of personality I have. There'll be no shouting or loud laughing or anything like that in my videos.

At this point you might think "Why let's plays? Let's plays are a thing of the past". You might be right. But I'm just doing it for fun. I enjoy recording videos, and I enjoy the fact that there's a few of you out there who even enjoys watching them. I have no illusions about becoming the next big YouTuber or Twitch streamer. It's just a hobby, that I enjoy sharing with other people.

So far I have completed 4 series. Ori & the Blind Forest (Sequel planned in the near future), Little Nightmares, The Last Spell, and Frostpunk. Currently I'm recording and uploading Into the Breach and Tropico 6, which seems to not be super popular, but I'll finish them none the less, as I enjoy just playing and recording. As a mini series running alongside the other two series, I decided to make a few showcase videos of the Steam bundle Serene City-Builders. It was supposed to be 1-2 videos of each of the games in the bundle (Which includes Cloud Gardens, Townscaper, ISLANDERS and Dorfromantik), but Dorfromantik has quickly turned into it's own series running alongside Into the Breach and Tropico, and has by far exceeded my expectations by becoming my most popular series. Since I'm still small, that's not necessarily saying a lot, but it is the series that attracts most views, viewtime and comments at the moment.

I'm still trying to find a format that works best for me, and originally the plan was 2 videos a day. However, since I also have a job, and another one on the side, I quickly found this to be too much. So at the moment I'm aiming for 1 video a day, which should be much more manageable. I have also been thinking a lot about the length of my videos. With games where it's possible, I'm limiting them to around 30 minutes.

To give my fair viewers some variety, I've started uploading alternating videos, so it's not the same game being uploaded every day. At the moment the plan is to have a minimum of 2 different series going, but I'll be aiming for 3.

I'm still trying to find a balance between having a backlog to upload, and not have too many videos waiting to be uploaded, to have a chance to react to any comments there might be. Into the Breach and Tropico has been sorted, which the episode not being too old, but Dorfromantik is still catching up.

In the giveaways I've created, I usually list the games I'm interested in playing in the future. I have, however, already found that list to be changing pretty much from giveaway to giveaway. So don't take this as a promise, but rather as an indicator of the kind of games I'd like to upload to my channel. These are some of the games I'd love to upload in the future: Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Dead Cells, Hollow Knight, Railway Empire, Disco Elysium. I'm also toying with the idea of doing a longer playthrough of some big RPG. Could be Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Pathfinder, or something similar. I've been told repeatedly that people enjoy my voice, which is in part also why I'm considering an RPG which has a lot of reading, although my personality doesn't really allow for voice acting just yet.

I want to emphasize that subscribing to my channel is NOT a requirement to enter or win the giveaway.

If you've read this far, thank you for your time. If my channel is not for you, then no hard feelings. And do not feel compelled to subscribe just for the +1. I highly prefer that my numbers reflect interested people :)

With that being said, good luck with the giveaway, and stay safe out there! :)
