Gosh I've been looking forward to typing this message!!
Apologies that it took a whiiiile, I just wanted to make sure I had some proper information to share rather than vague promises before I wrote it. I've been busy these last few weeks! Keep reading for content updates on Revoloony, UHCG, Naked & Afraid and more!
Let's start with a little flashback: Revoloony was the craaaaziest week of my life, in so many different ways.
I got to see hundreds of players at a time run rampant in my world. Which was honestly insane to watch for me. It made all the work of building it so worth it!! In total more than 2300 unique players joined the server, most of those played multiple days. That's what I made that world for, if you played thank you so much for being there!
I got to meet a ton of cool people, commentate an event in real time, see the tension of the final castle siege and witness all the beautiful features and crazy flaws in my map design.
I also got to do some insane crisis management with hundreds of people in the server and wanting to play, while every team in the server felt like a brutal crash affected them more than every other team :')
And I got to do all of that together with a good friend who I believe is one of the best and most overcommitted developers in the world. It was a RIDE!! The event wasn't perfect, but with all the dust settled I can say that I'm really happy with how that went for a first time. We were incredibly ambitious with how we set it up and despite some issues in serious need of fixing for S2 a lot of systems held up really well. I'm proud of what we did and love the concept as much as I did before the event started. Would 100% do it again, so we will!!! We're already planning and working to bring it back better.
Also, it was insaaaaaaaane running this event with 2 people (plus our amazing volunteer staff) so I crashed the week after and didn't do much for 2 weeks outside of some important things that couldn't wait.
As far as the video goes.... I'll take my sweet time to make it a banger. Right now I haven't started yet, because I had to do some other things directly after the event finished. Urgently.
Going into Revoloony I knew that I would have to get a job right after to take care of my finances. I put a bunch of money and a significantly bigger bunch of unpaid time into the event.. So unless some unlikely miracle happened I was bound to go job hunting after... so that's what I did! Today was my second day at the office!
I'm excited, it's a cool place with cool people and I think in a little while it'll help me make more videos because I don't need to worry about performance going forward. That means I can just make what I think is really cool and things will naturally find their way. Obviously I will think about performance, because a big part of it is "make the coolest thing you can for people to enjoy", but I will be able to do so without the imminent pressure of it also having to pay next month's rent. For now I'm prioritizing settling into the new gig for the next few months to have the best possible start, but I'm most definitely not quitting content or aiming for retirement.
Sooo that's the life update, let's talk CONTENT!!!
There's quite a lot coming pretty soon actually!
THIS WEEKEND. Sept 19th. Naked & Afraid S3 starts dropping on everybody's channels. Keep your eyes peeled!
October 4th-25th I'll be playing on the biggest, coolest, most awesome Dutch Minecraft server Creator SMP Hardcore! If you want to hear me speak gibberish (if you don't speak Dutch) you can tune in every night on Twitch for 3 weeks straight, it'll honestly be a blast!
UHC Generations has been in the hands of my successor for a while now. I can tell you absolutely nothing about what they've done, because I don't know much... what I do know is that a LOT has happened, so sometime in the near-ish future you will see my demise and their rise as gen 7. When? I don't know, but we're one day closer than we were yesterday and it won't be very long.
Revoloony is going into it's third day! You can join!! Find all the info on www.revoloony.net/ and join the discord.
Today's Power Ranking has Team POOP in the lead, led by Thomas5200. But everything can change in one night with the battle for poop mountain looming over them like the sword of damocles. Will you help them, or will you bring them to their knees?
There will be a lot of stuff happening on the channel over the next few days. (and some of it might be annoying, please read why below)
Revoloony is coming July 26 - August 2 !!!
If you don't know exactly what it is yet, 90 creators will fight over my world for a full week, leading hundreds if not thousands of you into battle with them to claim victory. There will be dozens of streamers going live in a world that I meticulously crafted while you guys kept me company over the past 4 years <3
I've been so locked in on final organization that I even forgot to make a community post this week, announcing that there won't be any scheduled streams until the event starts.
Most likely there will be 2-3 streams of final playtests and a long day of building to get the map event ready, but I can't tell you when, because organizational work takes priority over everything else these weeks.
With the Revoloony on the doorstep I also realized that I want to relist a lot of my old content. Streams, season 1 movies, maybe the odd video in between. Because realistically all of that is the history that set the stage for this event and I think it should be clearly visible on the channel.
With so many creators streaming on my world, if some of their viewers are curious about the backstory I want them to be able to see it easily without having to scrape through playlists etc.
Relisting on YouTube is a painful process though, because it will completely spam you with notifications. There's nothing I can do to prevent that, so we might have a bit of an exodus on our hands :') Don't sweat it though, we look forward and march on!
I would honestly not be surprised if we lose 20k subs this week to notif spam, but I would be equally unsurprised if we gain another 20k in 3 weeks from now.
Revoloony is coming!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for sticking with me, this is going to be SO hype!
The coming weeks I'll be locked in on organization for Revoloony, which is happening July 27th - August 2nd!!!
So the schedule will be subject to change, this week I will only stream on Saturday and Sunday at the usual time. Followed by a Revoloony playtest on Monday 2hrs after usual stream time (5pm CET / 11am EST)
