Video Guides
I'm not sure if this is the proper medium to contact you, but the idea of video guides is getting positive feedback. We're going to be entirely revamping our guidespace soon, and having professionally made strategy guide videos to work around would be great. If you have time, I'd like you to go ahead and make a few boss strategy videos first. I'll leave the bosses and content up to you, and we'll work around that. Let me know when you're ready or if you have any questions for us.

Also, if someone at Curse catches this and sees I'm making a mistake, directing me to the proper channels would be great. Gearzein (talk) 21:39, 20 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Hiya Gearzein,

Really appreciate you reaching out! I have wanted to cover Terraria since the Gamepedia Youtube channels inception and would love a chance to get ahead of the curve with videos - especially with Otherworld around the corner. I am the Gamepedia channel manager so, you definitely got the right guy. I would be happy to start with Boss guides etc too - do you have a skype I can contact you on? Mine is mdostine-curse.

Look forward to chatting soon, Cheers! - Mitch CrsDash(talk)

 * Heya mate, didn't see you on Skype yet so I thought i'd touch base. Just a few things, you want Boss guides up, is that correct? Do you want me to follow analytics for the guides and do a test one first? I think it would be easiest if I d a test guide, make sure everyone is happy tehn move forward. It may take a little while to get it all up and running but I will keep you posted either on here or email or whatever medium suits you best, cheers!CrsDash(talk)
 * Sorry, my schedule's been kind of weird lately, so I haven't been able to be on skype at regular hours or for very long. It might be best to touch base through talk pages here until situations are sorted out.
 * As for the content, just go ahead and pick any boss to do a test video with, but the first boss might be a good place to start. You can go ahead and use the current style rules for guides- though you shouldn't use the existing guides as a base, as we're revising them because they're currently unsatisfactory. You probably know walkthrough videos better than me, but what mainly matters is that you show a good, solid playthrough of a boss that a player at the appropriate level of skill and progression could reasonably reproduce to clear it for the first time, while making necessary tactics and mechanics clear enough that viewers learn something deeper than rote memorization or arena building. The guide will still have some explanatory text to complement it, but the video should be able stand on its own.
 * If you've already added me on skype I'll hopefully be able to respond either tonight or sometime tomorrow morning. I look forward to seeing what you've got for us. Gearzein (talk) 22:03, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
