Ben Mak Posted January 4 Report Posted January 4 Am I imagining it or has there been a sudden increase in youtube content? I often browse vintage story videos sorted by date just to see what people have been creating and it seems to have exploded recently. I'm just not sure if this is because the game is finally getting some well deserve recognition or that it's just a combination of the new content and holiday season.

Part of it is probably the algorithm reacting to your recent searches, but I think a large part of it too is Vintage Story slowly gaining traction as more people learn about it. New content certainly helps, since it gives YouTubers who make VS content fresh things to toy with and talk about.

It seems that way, across many walks of life. I've had people ask me if I've ever heard of VS, if it was really worth the money, was it safe to buy a game not on Steam, etc. in the past few months. Prior to the last few months? Nothing. Admittedly, I've only played since November 2023, but it still makes me smile to see what I believe is increasing widespread interest. 4
Maelstrom Posted January 9 Report Posted January 9 I've noticed a LOT of different names posting VS content. So it's not just the algorithm. I do think VS has gotten more exposure by more Utoobers in the past 12 months

Kevin Eric Snell Posted Monday at 03:51 AM Report Posted Monday at 03:51 AM You're probably right. Personally, I never would've found this non-Steam game without hunting on YouTube for new games. I think it first showed up in one of those "10 promising new building games" videos, and I was intrigued enough to seek out more info. Finally decided to buy about two days afterward. Naturally, my YT feed is now full of Vintage Story content, so I can't judge how it is from the outside.
