Hello. If I paid for access to Pico 8, can I legally share my game videos on YouTube of me playing titles released on Pico 8 by splore?

Greetings

I assume so! There are actually a number of PICO-8 devs and community members who do playthroughs on their channels, and also just a few random people. I've found videos of playthroughs of my own games, which is wild to me, but they've all got like 5 views, which makes much more sense :).


good news. thanks. I guess there is no official position on this? maybe it doesn't matter?

go for it!


I can't speak for anyone else, but I know I'd love to see my game (Extreme Tetrom) played or streamed. I love finding out that people are actually playing the thing.


@Kistaro I randomly stumbled across a video of some Twitch streamer doing a PICO-8 session and she played one of my games for about 30 seconds & it made her laugh, which totally made my day.


users bit2chuck and Kistaro, can I upload gameplays from your games to YT? I think I'll write another post asking if there are more users here who would like their games to be played on my YT channel


@TomekF Yeah, feel free! There are probably thousands more popular games on here that'll be better for your viewer count though :)


@TomekF Of course, go right ahead! Extreme Tetrom has a lot of different game modes for different skill levels, attention spans, and goals — it specifically has a few modes for people who aren’t able to play at insane speeds and want a way to “get there” — so you might need to flip around its modes to find what you want to show off. “Blitz” is specifically for very short games that ramp up almost to Grandmaster mode’s full difficulty (but only doing it for a small number of pieces is easier to survive). “Lightning” is probably the most unique.
