When I was about to launch my game Le Château I feared that it was going to flop. I expected it to maybe sell only a couple of copies, but it turns out that people were way more interested than I anticipated. And even cooler, promoting it on Tiktok caused the units sold to get tripled. Thanks to everyone that gave the game a shot. I hope you enjoyed it!

After seeing the insanely popular videos by Tom Scott and MrBeast, where their thumbnails (or titles) changed based on the amount of views the video had, I wondered if that could be used to make a video game. So in this video, I turned my YouTube thumbnail into a rock, paper, scissors video game. Just comment !vote [your vote] in the comments, and come back when the thumbnail is updated.
