8-BitGaming
Ryan first established himself on YouTube as half of the duo called 8-BitGaming; the other personality is named Bazamalam, who was previously known as Other Ryan. They started their channel in 2015, playing several horror games such as “The Midnight Man”, “Vapour”, and “Vanish: The Game”. Focusing on the horror genre saw their popularity significantly increase, especially when they started to play the game “Five Nights at Freddy’s” (FNaF).
It is a video game franchise which initially started as an independent game created by Scott Cawthon. During the early iterations of the game, players played a nighttime security guard for a fictional restaurant named Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, inspired by restaurants such as Chuck E. Cheese. Players must then utilize several tools to help them survive the night against animatronic characters of the restaurant with homicidal tendencies, who come to life during the night. The game has become so popular that six games have been released related to the franchise. There have also been three novel adaptations, guide books, activity books, and other forms of media related to the franchise.
Solo Channel
A year after beginning his journey with 8-BitGaming, 8-BitRyan decided to create his own personal channel, which focuses on him playing games solo, and gaining more creative control with his videos. He continued the theme of playing horror video games, but also started to include other genres of games as well. Due to his popularity with the first channel, his second channel also gained a lot of traction thanks to its “Five Night’s at Freddy’s” content.
He also gained a lot of attention for his videos playing “Hello Neighbor”, a survival stealth horror game created by Dynamic Pixels, with players taking control of a character who must successfully sneak into the basement of their neighbor’s house to find out the secret that he is hiding. One of the main selling points of the game was its artificial intelligence (AI), that changes the behavior of the neighbor depending on the player’s past actions. Meaning that if the player tries the same strategy as before, they will discover the neighbor patrolling paths the player used in the previous attempt, while also setting up traps. His second channel has proven highly successful that it even surpassed the subscriber count of 8-BitGaming.
