GamePress

Suppose I were to etc. pt2

Are there any here who would be interested to be part of the team? (Remember, I'm still in the stages of considering whether the project would be good to attempt.)

If I were to do it, I'm thinking I'll center it around a WordPress and use also YouTube videos and possibly even audio-only on occasion. The WordPress will have two halves to it, the library and the posts. Posts will cover the latest updates and just ideas and builds I want to toss out there; the library would consist of guides to which I will sometimes refer in the posts. Videos would be for any topics that are better taught using that format, showing a tiny bit of my own game play, and probably my summoning since I'm probably going to get asked about it if I start developing a following.

(Potential team positions listed at bottom)

Distinctives of my initiative as compared to others:
- Written guides, which...don't seem to be in abundant supply? GamePress has some decent ones, but I think I could do better, and a lot of the FEH resources are in video form and don't cover topics in general ways.
- Information organized in ways that other people don't tend to do (ex: guide on support units, "how to build a team" using different starting methods such as building around a unit or building around a theoretical framework, tier list based on amount of skill demanded from player - search my topic "difficulty tier list" if you want to know what I mean)
- Some content with a relatively strong theoretical bent
- Reads on the game at a general level, such as on the direction of the game and the meta. I predicted null follow-up (but got the timing of its introduction wrong by a few months; didn't think it would come so late), and at the release of CYL2 I also noted that infantry was wanting some skills to even things up against armours a bit, which we got in the form of infantry flash, special spiral, and null follow-up. (And potentially sorcery blade, but that one's pretty iffy to me.)
- Quotation of and sometimes commentary on work by other FEHtubers, and generally just recommending other resources that I find good
- Theoretical work on a broad level (ex: the aggressive-passive spectrum on skills, the balance between different movement types)
- Work on sour IVs. FEHtubers don't seem to cover this.
- Showing a bit of my own play style, including in building. Probably everyone is unique here so there's bound to be something people can gather from my play that they wouldn't from others.
- Just a little bit of philosophy of the game
- Other stuff I won't reveal at this time

Roles that might be wanted on the team:
- Artist
- Video editor, because I don't plan to have more than a tablet anytime soon
- Content development assistant, preferably someone who sees the game quite differently than I do and/or has a very different play style
- Someone to help me edit
- Someone to help me manage the site
- Possibly others. If you just want to get involved and none of the above seems to fit you, feel free to speak up and we might find something.

Just to reiterate, this is all consultation stage so at this point, no guarantees any of this will happen. If 3.0 comes out and I think the game is headed in a very bad direction I will probably postpone and possibly give up entirely any of these ideas.

Well, I have no editing skills at all.
But if you want my opinion on anything, feel free to shoot me a pm.
Like ideas on builds/guides stuff like that.

Yeah, even if your the 'publisher' simply having more people check things out may help making it nuanced.
Just as long as you make sure to keep being the 'final check'

I really hope this works out.

I'm always glad to help, though I'm not quite sure I fit any of the categories mentioned above. While I never would call myself an artist, I know my way around Gimp and could help with thumbnails, other graphics and stuff.

I wouldn't say that I could probably really help you at that category, but if I can say so to myself that I've often weird ideas/playstyle in some extent. Sorry that I can't help you more though.

So I'll hook up on Mr.Coffee and say if you want a weird/maybe controversial view on something ingame (even though I'm practacly new to the game <- January 2018)
you can pm me or something like that anytime (even though there're way better candidates than me).

Well I couldn’t possibly help with anything listed, if you ever need advice to the “inner workings” of YouTube (if that’s where you’d post your videos) I could probably help out (though I imagine you’d know everything you need to by now) if anything, link your channel once it’s live :)

Also, if your looking for a unique style, maybe go with completely FTP stuff (only person who comes close to this is maybe Phoenixmaster) by that I mean (like you mentioned) Bad IVs, GHB guides, or even beginner guides in general. Though this is probably me speaking for want I want, because I’m not really that good at this game.

I'm sorry I didn't read that earlier, I was still on Pt1 of your question.
As I mentioned on your other question shortly, I don't really have the time to edit videos regularly unfortunately.
There are two things I would be interested in, though:
1. Supporting you in making art for your channel: I'm not sure how 'talented' I am at this, but I love making thumbnails and things like that. That is something that doesn't take as much time as editing videos, so maybe that could work.
2. Giving my ideas/opinions on FEH-related things in general or detail. Given I'm not playing this game since its release (started around July 2017), I still think I have to say something on many aspects of it. Also it might be useful to exchange thoughts sometimes to get ideas for new videos or even a new series.
I cannot give you an evaluation on how useful my support would be in the end but if you ever decide on getting it started, we may talk about whether we could get something to work. But that only applies if you think my ideas actually suit your style, I don't want to make empty promises after all.
