Stream
Off the heels of our first proper stream, a total hot mess of chaos and confusion - we continued with our builds and prepared for pre-streams before the opening night. At this point, things are subjugated to change due to the influx of workload from school and other external commitments. Plus, being tired a thing. But we pushed on!
[Note from future self:] One thing to note is that, starting from this week a gradual shift in managing expectations happened especially with YH & myself.
Everyone agreed that we needed more time to build, plus the school pushed back the end date of internship - so naturally, we took this opportunity to extend Open Season by 2 weeks. Safe to say, we had a little more space to breathe.
Keeping the stream train alive, yet another stream. This stream will be focusing more on preparing for the big Opening Stream (Opening Night for showcase). More sound checks, thinking about starting & end cards for stream video, chat overlay on screen etc.
Following up the previous disaster stream, we moved this week's new stream onto YouTube. Which had proven to be much better as we're able to have so much more chat interaction! But organic viewership was basically nonexistent as compared to our Twitch stream, however we agreed that since our showcase was based on invites it wouldn't really matter. Again, managing expectations.
And here are some screencaps plus gameplay recordings of my progress with my own build(s) during & after the stream. Yet another week ending on a Stream haha! And some major struggles getting the proportion right with my builds.
This is actually the 3rd Map Art I've done since last week, and I guess with this work departs a little from the previous pieces. I followed faithfully to the unfolded lines, a 99% accurate replications with the first 2. But because the lines where too complex it was nearly impossible to draw the lines out without sabotaging the proportions.
So in the end, I had to improv to attain a pleasing form.
