My name is Mateusz and for two months now I've been helping Kuba and Witek with their social media. Who am I exactly, how would I describe working with the My Next Games team and what are our plans for the future?
I have been running my YouTube channel for quite some time now and my content is mainly about Cyberpunk 2077 from CD Projekt RED. Making videos has been my hobby since I remember and I can hardly imagine anything else that gives me the same amount of joy. Besides that I'm also a self-taught Photoshop editor. I learned that skill because I couldn't stand my awful thumbnails on YouTube anymore, haha. But seriously, a couple years ago I had to choose: do I want to become an IT specialist or a graphic designer. I picked the first one and as time runs I think that I could've picked the second option.
But hey, humans learn their whole lives, right? And after a consideration it's not even that bad, because now if I would like to have my own website, thanks to my IT skills from school I can make one by myself, while the rest of my graphic design skills I learned on my own. I consider this as an absolute win!
My other hobby is Video Games. That's why I decided to team-up with Kuba and Witek from My Next Games. The goal was simple - they make fun games and I use my experience to help them with the recognition of their series on the internet. We started very simply - they showed me their games, which by the way I really liked, especially the Hank one, and then I proceeded to think about new content for social media. At first on our Facebook, TikTok, Instagram etc. you could see just usual posts about our games. Nothing special. Then we extended our content to include articles and now we’ve just started with full YouTube videos.
And here we are today. We just released our first video, which you can find on our YouTube channel. It’s a summary of all upcoming Indie Games that were presented at this year’s The Game Awards. We invite you to check it out and to tell us in the comments what you like the most about this video and maybe what you don’t like about it. We’ll be very grateful.
Be with us on this journey and help us make better and better content for you. See you around!
Oddfellows Software here, up to some new year cleaning.
I would like to announce that Cross Country Express will soon be removed from Steam (2 weeks) as I do not feel the quality standards meet my current potential of what I am capable of as an artist.
I would like to thank everybody who bought or even downloaded the game after it was made free. Without a doubt, this is the most success I've ever had releasing a piece of art as copies owned have surpassed 120,000, and for as cobbled together this game was and having it release in a extremely limiting engine, the whole experience has left me hopeful that my next projects which will be more quality driven will do even better.
Here's to a potentially action packed 2024 release schedule with lots to look forward to.
Welcome to the second Gnorp News of 2024! You can read this post here, or on the website.
