Many viewers are excited about Joseph or stampy which we call you oh we should whenever you like stampy cat Sam P Joe Kapp don’t be cat cats I’m a cat I’m an orange cat in my days off okay Simon LUN is a human being and his a games Developer we think it’s a view both with us you surprised at how popular you’ve become of course especially as it was it was never a business plan of mine I did it as a hobby for years without any thought whatsoever of doing it as a job It was only when it starts to become popular we’re like I saw that there was an opportunity here can you just explain the bare bone the essentials of what’s happening here because mine pip a lot of people know minecraft the game yeah so what do you do that means people want to Watch you doing it and I guess I just make everything just a bit bigger and brighter than it normally is I come up with stories within the game I give people lots of ideas for things that they can play with their friends and I just talk about the things that the Children are interested in so you are the voice of the game so when we’re talking about the YouTube clips you put on YouTube they’re not seeing you there watching you playing the game and hearing your voice yeah right here in my commentary then they see the game fours Are never that aren’t on the cat’s basically essentially to them there’s no they never see my face they never see the real me I am stampy cat in in the video Simon why do we need Joseph or why do these game players need Joseph so in My crafts a community game when it first came out and it was it was released early and there wasn’t really any way of instructions and there still really aren’t very many instructions so it grew up around the community and the community did new and interesting things With it and what Joseph does is it helps new players ground themselves in the world and see all of the possibilities it’s incredibly powerful beautiful game that does amazing things and sometimes we need a trusted guide and Joseph provides that and how do you turn that Into a job and into money as this all through advertising revenues there’s a short advert at the beginning of the video you get kind of that ad revenue and that’s that’s simply all there is to it there’s no there’s no business knowledge needed at all is it it’s all About all I do is just make the videos and upload them to YouTube and how many people would see it regularly at the moment what you put out is about 160 million a month at that at the moment what does that mean in money and it changes it depends what the advertisers Are paying at the time it fluctuates up and down but I mean you can make a full-time living off it this time I mean is this something is this a trend we’re going to see other games perhaps absolutely and there’s you know in popular kind of media other popular Media there’s there’s not that many voices that the players can relate to on television radio and so on and so forth so YouTube’s providing people like them they can speak with interact with and watch and get tips from and it’s directly there it’s kind of showing them New things and they can get excited and involved the games makers won’t mind absolutely not minecraft grew up as a community game there’s lots more of these early access games that are released before they’re finished at the public and asking for feedback and that community involvement shapes the game Provides the advertising and spreads word-of-mouth I’m curious whether we can make this work here so running up here is a bit of a game minecraft can you do can you do what you do yeah it’s kind of like okay we could try this is okay and I’m gonna go and try and get some good lit we’re playing around of hunger games and all this is is we need to try and be the last person in life so I’m going to try and jump over these blocks that I remember fairly good few times there so I’m gonna go back up and I’m gonna see if I can jump across them onto the purple one can I make it yeah there we go the yellow one here we go and up right let’s see if I can get all the way to the end I don’t think I could Normally do this so many of our viewers are going to be so pleased we had Sarah quick email us as they her children have never shown much interest in breakfast you will when you’re a bit older perhaps but as soon as they knew you were on they’re ready they’re dressed glued to The television she wants you on every morning basically just because children they’ve they’re absorbed aren’t they they’ve just really taken to your personality and I mean I’m not the I think I’m slightly unique in terms of how focus towards kids I am but I’m not the only person doing this there is a Huge community possibly bigger than any other community on YouTube playing Minecraft as well as loads of other games as well it’s I’m not a unique case well the first one I mean in some ways I mean I do things differently but I’m not a pioneer in That sense in terms of its I was inspired by people doing this before me I’ve just done my own twist on it mm-hmm okay has anyone built the BBC Breakfast to do well on mine minecraft well we were we we hope so we were actually trying to try and to find it The chances are if it exists in real life someone’s made it in Minecraft that’s normally the way it goes oh well perhaps thank you very much perhaps if you’re a fan of the game and you could perhaps create the breakfast studio it’s once it’s complete send us a picture Will show some of them on our Facebook page even on the program Video Information
