Found a social media format for my client that works well on any short-form video site - as it leads to both high retention and engagement. This did 169k on Insta, 94k on Youtube and 91k on TikTok.

With all that success not everything was rosy tho. I'm working for 6side Studio too, and there views are still not good, despite a great prototype. - if early in dev, don't overpromise in videos - be transparent - always keep the game vibe and expectations of players in mind

Barely had time for my Minecraft channel, but had my biggest viral hits across Reddit, Pinterest and Youtube this year. - break with expectations to stick out - 2026 image carousels will be on all shortform-video platforms (including Youtube) - recycling content across platforms can multiply reach

Probably my highlight was my work for @smks-studios.bsky.social ! - replying to comments with videos is a great way to make the community feel seen! - absurdist hooks can stop the scroll ("this is how our bird used to die") - establish content pillars but leave room for exploration

now it makes me do a 7 question survey that is essentially "nazis are bad", like duh, I just made a Substance Designer generator 😭
Question: "Oscar uploads a video to his channel. In the video, Oscar talks about his views on various topics in his home country. He says, “Fortunately, more and more people are supporting neo-nazi viewpoints. Such views are becoming more commonplace, which in my opinion is a good thing.”"

Wtf, Youtube flagged an unlisted video on my old gameart channel as hatespeech It was just a Substance Designer generator for a temple floor Appealed the decision but they rejected it

In love with this one. She was quite a lot smaller than the rest, as she came last. But easily the most approachable one :D Also she grew since this pic, she’s about the size of the others now, doing well :)

Did you know there’s a straight line cutting through Scotland? It’s called the Great Glen and I’m considering it for a long distance hike or cycling trip 🤔

I’m originally from East Germany (Leipzig), but have lived in the west for over 10 years now - so the trip was about connecting my two homes! Took me 11+1 days (took a break in Cologne before the last part until Belgium) and ~860km in total. Mostly solo with with dad and friends joining 2 times :)

Also concerning, the former East Germany, my birthplace, (with exception of a few cities) voted mainly for the far right AfD which shows the current rift in the country.

Rick (tinyworlds) @tinyworlds.org · 24/02/2025
German election results are in! Results of the far-right AfD are deeply concerning, but otherwise it’s probably the best case given the circumstances. We will have a stable government coalition of CDU and SPD + strong left opposition with Greens and the Left.
28,5% cdu, afd 20,8%, SPD 16,4%, Greens 11,6%, Left 8,8%
