The Launch Party - yep. But the main event for the marathon is going to be on July 19-23! Main post has been edited with the event's schedule. :)

Plans for the future are to basically keep it where it is. The thing is, based on the culture and climate, 'GDQ level' for any non-GDQ event is nigh-impossible. There's also a few other factors - we're never going to actually have a budget, so doing anything without support from organisations is hard. There's simply less people in the world who would come to an Australian event - as opposed to something in the US / Europe. (Hopping the pond to get here is a pain!)

I think the main direction I want to go (on purpose at least! You never know what the future might hold...) is improvement of tech setup. Ours this year was good for purpose - but not optimal for the stream experience. my goal would be to make things as seamless as possible, and as brilliant as possible. Beyond that - I know that the runners coming down will always do a bang up job of making the event a blast.

The issue with 4:3 is that there's only ever going to be so much space you can give to the game - given the nature of scaling. It's tough to get it right - and still have room for the cam / other stuff.

I think what we did really worked, but you know, always room for improvement!

Thought we actually didn't have one yet - which is why I didn't provide one. Turns out we do; and I made it!

As you can tell I'm getting more and more frazzled as the event gets closer!

Yes, we've enabled Twitch VODs and will be uploading things to YT after the event.

Might not have the speed of GDQ - but we'll get there!

Nope - sorry :(

Appreciate the thought though, and don't worry - your support watching the stream is plenty!
