Congrats on such an awesome event and the funds raised are pretty crazy considering the size of the sts community!
Some things regarding the stream that might help future streams and events.
- Create a schedule of when games will be played. Lots of players would constantly ask when "x" game would be played, and if it was played, it wasnt for very long.
- Some graphic overlays would be helpful so that people can know what their watching or who they are watching. an 8-bit logo on the screen would have helped identify the stream better. This would have been perfect to use when you had to hide the game screen or step away for a bit.
- I don't recall seeing or hearing much about the 8-bit campaign during the 24hrs of the stream. I think it would have been nice to have some of the 8-bit people available during the stream to continue on the awareness and event build up.
- Use the in-game ads to promote the streaming events better. not everyone is one forums, and not everyone takes the time to check out the rotating banner. But I know I spend enough time inside the menu screen to know that I can play Battle Command or Star Legends
- the stream quality could have been a bit better, it was really difficult to read text in game or sometimes make out what was going on.
I really hope STS starts using streaming more and more for their facetime vids and hopefully starts showing off awesome things like the current 8-bit salute tournament thats going on (didn't know it was happening? I'm not surprised).
