CloseI am making a game with RPG maker, using mostly my own stuff, or stuff I got from the prior Humble Bundle pack. I am curious though, if I add gameplay videos, or videos of random cutscenes I create out of boredom, to my YouTube page, can I monetize them? Or am I not able to? Like, use adsense?
I tried to Google this a million times and nothing ever shows up. Thanks a ton for the responses.

As long as it abides by YT rules, it should be fine. That is, as far as I know, as long as the music or graphical content isn't flagged and proper credit is given to the creators of the game, it should be okay (adding commentary over the game makes it a transformative piece and a few years ago that would have been all that mattered, but YT has recently changed their policies on music attrition and copyright to be more stringent.)
But it should be fine - if a video gets flagged they give you the option of removing adsense or muting the part of the video that had the music (it's usually music that gets flagged).
If it's your own game with graphics that you own the license to use - what you bought in Humble Bundle - then that should be a-okay.

Don't get your hopes up about monetization. You can monetize, but unless you are a person who is able to create several million views within a week, Youtube/Google does not pay more than a few cents per every thousand views.
Don't get your hopes high, as it was stated. Mobile games is where big money is currently at. But we don't have mobile rm yet, so best chances would be rolling your own engine with support for mobile monetization systems.

Keep in mind, if you do happen to use resources outside of those allowed for commercial use, you may have to get permission. Some resource providers and scripters consider any form of monetary value (donations, ads, etc) to promote your game (even if the game itself is not being sold) as commercial and depending on their terms may either require compensation or for the resource to be removed.
