I think it's missing a scenario (or two) to be complete.

There are two things majorly wrong with facecams.
1. Its another layer of presentation and editing that you have to worry about getting right (and many people dont), and if you arent worrying about and putting it there for the sole sake of facecam why is it there in the first place.
2. It makes periods of dead air intensely awkward. Dead air is a perfectly acceptable thing to have, and not many people can carry a pokemon/RPG-esque VLP with full unbroken commentary throughout the entirety of the supposed hours of grinding and minutia while still keeping up the entertainment factor.
(And if you are holy poo poo stop doing LPs and get into something with a salary)

If the top screen remains as still as it does for most of the game like it does in the video id say blow up the bottom screen to take up most of the video space. Should be simple enough to do based on your workflow. iirc some helpful goon posted an AVIsynth script (quite a while ago) for streamlining that process.
Oh and hide your mouse, kinda distracting.

Dead air is fine, you really dont need to read out all the dialogue in the game.

The audience will be begging for death to escape the cutscenes by ep 2

What's the best way to LP a children's book about minecraft? I have some ideas but Crow tells me they are all highly illegal.

Stream and then edit into clips

They're not even particularly big by SSLP standards, but you can cut down on size if there isnt going to be much more detail. But I have to ask something: Why the inconsistent image sizes? You seem to manually cropping out each one by hand and jesus thats one way to get severely burnt on an LP. Seconding irfanview. Batch editing is a godsend.

Also consider saving as .png, it save more on space and keeps the quality of the pixel art.

I can confirm that a lot of the soundtrack is on YouTube.

You could post both a link to the OG anime song and the Game's version, I think it gives a nice contrast on the midi heavy games.

Or to versions from newer SRW games.
Sometimes they change up the arrangement to be a little better.

Youtube gives you the poo poo compression for peasants if you upload sub-720p.
May have been upped to sub-1080p recently.

Trying to LP Maplestory? Good luck.

Yeah, good luck OP.

IMO Cropped looks best, knowing that around a good 20-25% of the screen is essentially useless for screen shots because its all UI.

If you dont think it deserves its own thread you can go to the Romhack Thread.

But In general the advice for LPs is :justpost:, else use a megathread like romhacks/casual.

Oh i dont like this collective murder of the internet companies seem to be wanting to do.

They make billions a year and own their data centres this is chasing after profit increases of a hundredth of a percent.

Wow thats 2004 as hell.
And yeah cut out the bottom (or top!) screen if its not important. Irfanview has a batch edit feature you can use for this.
