It's been about five weeks since our last post. We know! You missed us! We checked our metrics for the period, and we still see a rather sizable percentage of you checking back. Thank you for not giving up on us! As with any growing business, we need to make changes in order to keep up with the times. We greatly appreciate all who understand and remain patient as we take these measures. Now for the new information.
1. Ubisoft is bringing another Assassin's Creed to market, and it's going to be a return to form! Yes! We should FINALLY be getting back the stealth mechanics that the franchise was built upon. To be honest, it started to fall apart with updates to the engine that gradually made it play more like God of War. This was bad because it had latency issues, it was much less precise, and it prompted button mashing. God of War was special in that it didn't rely on precision and agility, just extremely good combat in a smaller box. AC is more open world with loads of travel, tons of ways to navigate and interact with the areas, and was built on quickly dispatching foes. When they reformatted with AC3, they tried to fix - and broke - something that didn't need fixing in the first place. After trying AC3 and Unity, we swore off the series. They felt terrible. But maybe this is the giant step in the right direction that they need to get it right again. We'll see! 2. We've officially started our Twitch journey! We've been trying it out for nearly a month, and we have unexpected growth rather early in our first player's career. Most current projections are that it would be about three months before the first viewer and follower filtered in. Yeah, we're far and above that. Hit that link and check it out. And the channel is still growing, so don't expect Pew Die Pie level content just yet. Our player is working as quickly as possible to make improvements, but no one's complaining so far. 3. We've started our official Discord! It's a work in progress, but it's currently open for free membership. In truth, we plan for the Discord to always be 100% free, so no worries there. It's really for growth, idea exchanges, community member promotion, quick updates about the stream, and feedback. Who wants to pay for that, you know? That's a reasonable amount of free access that everyone should expect, so that's exactly what you'll get: free access. We're taking a different path towards monetization. Yes, if you stream or have an active YouTube channel, we follow back. Yes, we do party up with our followers and game together. No, we don't use the Discord or stream chat to cheat in Among Us. Yes, we will raid your channel to help you grow when our streams line up right. Yes, if you follow us to get a follow, then unfollow us right after, we'll unfollow you. How else can we grow this coalition without your help? That's it for now, folks! Follow us on Twitch and join us on Discord! Peace! |
