Interactive Livestream Success! New Discord Server! (Patreon)

Hello everyone! Hope you all are staying safe in these crazy times.

Yesterday, I ran the first live stream test of my "Interactive Minigolf Challenge | V.3 Test (Made in Unity)" for 2 hours. The game works by typing 2 numbers into the live chat, a power and an angle, which spawns you in as a golf ball. It's a lot of fun when there's a lot of people and a crazy amount of balls flying around. I'm going to continue developing new features for this, and I want to turn it into a once a week competition. I also LOVE saving stats so this will be very fun to keep track of all the details. There were 294 different people who scored goals in that session. Here are the top three that scored the most.

Since the live chat moves so quickly with all the numbers, it has made me realize that we need a better way to communicate while playing. I've made a discord to solve that problem. Join here: https://discord.gg/BbZVrBp I'll turn on notifications so this will be the easiest way to communicate with me if you have any requests for changes to the game. The date and time of the weekly stream will be posted here when it is finalized. 

The quarantine has left me a lot of time to reflect on where this Youtube channel is going. My videos fall into a few main categories: simulations, various video game syncs, Line Riders, IRL contraptions, and interactive live streams. All these categories hold exciting possibilities for exploring the beauty of physics and music. My goal is to find a balance between them all when planning future videos. 

Lastly, I just realized I forgot to post my last video so here is a link if you didn't see it:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sb2ttQEB1Mc In hindsight, I wish I would have sped up the tempo a bit to make it more accurate to the real song. Oh well! I'll improve on the next one.
