Okay, it would be cool to see a Arrowstotle and Tobias Bergdorf collaboration.

I remember in one of your streams you mentioned that you didn't want to be known as "the item breakdown guy". I'm happy that you're beginning to do what you like as a KZbinr. I don’t mind what other games you decide to make content on, it’s important that you like the content you make as well. Stay strong m8

[@1UpLevelUp]

Welcome back dude. Honestly just do what you are passionate about and what you love. It will come out in the videos and I look forward to what you do next.

[@eliasthesarcastic8707]

Cats? Oh, this channel keeps getting better every new video.

[@BrokenG-String]

Don't feel bad being burnt out of Mario maker, I've been too lately. Would like to see what other directions you might go with the channel.

[@TrollMagic1987]

Hey Toby, good to see you again. Everything you say is competely understandable, so don't even worry about what's happened and how it happened. To quote a movie: "whatever happened, happened and couldn't have happened any other way". Kudos on your new cats and new home, they all look amazing, hope you keep motivated and happy. As for what we would want for content: I think anything you do will be of the upmost quality so stick with whatever people tell you and your gut tells you. Personally I would love to see more SMM2 and retro games like Conker's Bad Fur Day, GoldenEye 007 or even Perfect Dark from N64 (the list could go eternally, but you get my point). Have a nice day man.

[@Skypatroller_BenCD]

Happy to see you alive

[@TobiasBergdorf]

Happy to be alive.

[@dr.mexico9265]

Well, you seem to be really good and really enjoy making structured and informative videos. I'd say keep doing that, but venture out to other games and/or types of genres. They don't have to be series either, so don't be afraid of one-offs, they're good for not getting burned out. Glad to you see you back, I've really enjoyed your videos, and I'm happy that you're making content again.

[@spyco6559]

I am a huge supporter of doing what you want with your channel. So many people get stuck in what makes there fans happy instead of what makes them happy! Dude take your time! You deserve to make what you want!

[@Ic1clez_]

Terraria, Maybe... I would love to see you do a playthrough even if it's just streamed on twitch. The fairly recent 1.4 update is very fun and it would be cool if you tried it out on KZbin or Twitch

[@saverton8442]

Try analyzing level design in other nintendo games (not necessarily just mario). You can even take said design philosophies and show them applied to mario maker in order to freshen up your content, but also to cater to your fans who are here for mario maker and level design. I enjoy watching level design videos, and I really love those that talk about other games on their own before tying them back into Mario Maker. Also don't be afraid to try some ideas of your own that sound interesting, even if you think others won't find them so great. It'll be great to start seeing content from this channel again, even if it isn't all mario maker.

[@Canyyon]

ACNH, Paper Mario, Arlo type stuff (not copying but your own style). What makes you happy is the stuff that I want to see

[@Juli_is_Online]

I would love to hear your thoughts, opinions, analysis on games besides Mario Maker/Nintendo, feel free to do what satisfies you, from experience I can say that burn out is one of the least pleasant things one can experience

[@al_x2138]

I'm really excited to see you return to making videos. I can't wait for more types of games on this channel, but I hope item breakdown stays strong because I've been needing inspiration for my Super World

[@Alex-tq4jd]

Well if you're looking for new video ideas, some videos on general level design and structure might be cool

[@3izwiz]

Man do whatever you want to do. As long as you're passionate about it, I'm sure most of us will enjoy it. You are already showing us how to make Mario Maker levels that most will enjoy. Use that knowledge to make videos that most will enjoy as well. Any video that's coherent, well edited, and enjoyable to watch and listen to, I'll most definitely watch, no matter the topic!

[@MetalGearMk2]

Dude I love your details in your item vids. I'm sure whatever you choose to focus on next will have the same care and research into it that it'll definitely be good 😁

[@rceazey]

Hate to hear that you’re burned out. The Item Breakdown Videos are what made me subscribe as they often teach me a new mechanic to use in my levels so I hope you continue to make them even if it takes two years. Often I’ll search for an item and it turns out you haven’t covered it yet. Hoping for more but you have to do what works for you!

[@Scorch-SkittishMCJames813]

[@Jay-Kaizo]

Love your channel. I think modern Tetris would be a fantastic series you could start. There are so many things about the game that people don't realize. There can easily be dozens of tutorials and it's actually really hard to find quality training videos in my experience. Modern tetris is really starting to become popular on the switch and PC through games like Tetr.io, Jstris, Tetris 99, Puyo Puyo Tetris, and Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 which will be released in December. I would include Tetris Effect as well, but until they add their multiplayer mode it's more of just a fun experience.

Record 2 item break downs in one day and then upload them each day or something like that

[@viabea7472]

Sticking to one game is sure to lead to a burnout and eventually a death of a channel. (I mean look at tf2 youtubers) Branching out while still having some topics from mario maker is an amazing idea. I know one thing I would like to see is maybe a series in other games where you use the item breakdown type of series of one item and tell its details but then maybe show the same type of thing in other games

I completely understand the getting burnt out of a game.

You can start combining a few items into one video and break down these, and they all don’t have to be very long breakdowns. Maybe similar ones you can combine in one video

[@charlievaughan7823]

[@pixlpigeon3613]

Wooooooooo hes not dead

[@georgelloydgonzalez]

If Geography Now can make profiles of every single country with some sort of schedule, so can you. I reckon you can distribute the Item Breakdowns, perhaps, by production cycles: you work on three at a time, and you release them either weekly or non-consecutively (IB/another topic/IB/another topic/IB). After that, you take a break from it, work on other projects, and then, another IB production cycle

[@dreddbolt]

My mind has wandered towards building certain kinds of fun courses as a sort of therapy for people who've become disillusioned by Super Mario Maker 2, igniting some measure of unexpected and much-needed excitement. ... I feel like a lot of minds have become mired in a sort of sameness, and people are internally screaming for novelty to get injected into their brains, including myself. Super Mario Maker 2 is still my main reason I have an internet subscription on the Nintendo Switch, however, but I want to have the mind to take cues from other games to incorporate into the courses I create. How about a bad game, but using Super Mario Maker 2 parts to get a more fun interpretation? My Battletoads idea isn't complete, but the Frog Suit and Super Leaf combo is working quite swimmingly. Even my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles dam level idea is showing promise when interpreted with the SMM2 Frog Suit. People are actually using Zelda 2 as a reference point to craft interesting and reasonable dungeons, with decent power-up placement, and giving the idea the bros and toads are cursed, and they need the Master Sword to resume their normal form... somewhat like the moon pearl from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Maybe someone can craft an infinite checkpoint Link course with the obligatory safety coin, but you need certain items to get through certain doors and pipes, like a spiny shellmet for hard blocks, or a Super Star for a doorway guarded by a bed of munchers and a big boo. Maybe two pathways could be accessed with the shellmet and two with the Super Star so players won't feel as railroaded in your course. I've also tried an interesting combo of classic SMB and SMB3 castle as the 'skeletal frame' of the course design, but peppered with elements from Mega Man 2 (and 3), Castlevania, and Ghosts 'n' Goblins. I wanted to capitalize on the availability of both combat and puzzles, with an attempt to balance combat so it has a fun measure of intensity, and an attempt to spice up puzzles, so you're not merely just dunking your explosive into the slot. I always felt like some classic SMB2 (Super Mario USA) dungeons were too difficult and boring, but there seems to be much more available to fill the void in Super Mario Maker 2. There might be no flying carpets, but there are koopa-copters, unlocking more opportunities for fun, exploration-based course design, somewhat like Little Nemo: The Dream Master for the NES. My mind also lends itself towards trying to get new players hyped to play the game, even in a world plagued with homogenized AAA multiplayer spam. The unfortunate trap of it is kaizo, which draws more viewers than players, so my hope is to craft something which not only encourages challenge while making the player feel awesome, but also helps make it fun and tempting to organize grand ideas in the form of level design... and to actually buy the game so they can actually have the fun... the kind of fun they they usually watch other people have on livestream sites and the 'Tube. ...that burnout though... ...difficult to stave off, especially nowadays, and sometimes it is difficult to get into the mindset necessary to put in the work.

[@brummgurke605]

Video idea: you can fully analys a single level of a game of your choice. Be it Mario bros DS, or Sonic 3. Analyzing the collectibles or shortcuts could be intresting

Well if you want to expand out of Mario Maker and Nintendo, I'd recommend maybe a Minecraft thing or something? I'd definitely watch since you have a great personality that I think fits well with Minecraft, and I'm sure others would agree. Obviously only if you are interested in / enjoy Minecraft though!

[@sebs4622]

Instead of just item breakdowns you could do a themed level contest not restricted to just an item (mm2 content wise). Glad to see the bills didn't get get to you 👀

[@jpa3974]

I have the impression that the most casual players have already lost interest in the creation part of Mario Maker 2. The communities that I participated in have either died, or are slow with only the most fanatical people posting. The game is not dead and probably many people would be interested in videos, but not to look for a source of information to use on their own levels, but to be entertained with the video itself (more or less like Ceave's videos). About other games, I think you could dissect the level design philosophy of famous games like Donkey Kong Country, Celeste, etc. I don't know if you are interested in that, but I believe it is something that many people like to see. If you are familiar with programming, you can create a series about game design with an easy-to-understand engine (Godot, for example) is interesting, although I think this is kind of unrealistic since it would require colossal work for something which may not have much appeal among viewers.
