The hidden cost of making videosEarlier this year, I was told that it would be "kind of cool" if I did some videos to show how I developed my Oric and Atari projects, instead of just writing blog posts and forum updates.
The first real test was in February when I did a few hours of live streaming during the Global Game Jam 2018.

Let's take a look at some existing games to show what I mean.
