12/29/23 – Weekly Update

General :

Lots of great updates this week ! New games , more action happening in the hand held combat department ! Several tours have been being scheduled and given for the UCIMC and learning of all the new prospects to come !

We also have a strong lack of ” social media presence ” which now is realized the importance of this . And it is not marketing . To what ? We have no product . Clicks give no money to buy game soft and upgrades or repairs . What it does do , is bring a bit of shine to others days . Make friends from afar . A little excitement . And most of , to inspire others .

This week a great deal of time had been spent looking into this , and we are going to do just that . Step it back up .

Broadcast :

We’re now a Twitch Affiliate ! With a growing viewership we can now offer a lot more features and are putting more focus into updating things related to our Stream !  Twitch staff has been incredibly supportive in explaining a multitude of their systems and better ways to interact with homies watching from afar ! Very cool that they seem to dig what we do ! We had a very similar experience with Matcherino as well when beginning that partnership . 

Our format will not change , there are no new rules . Our content was explained at length and explained to us that our marking advisories at our own will and following all guidelines was appreciated and will be of no issue going forward . The reason for this is that advertisers can choose what content classifications they wish to appear in or abstain from . 

The additional content classification has been added : Sexual Themes

Our Stream is currently marked as follows , which does not mention sexual themes , this may just take time to update .  These content classifications are set by default for all Streams . These will ONLY be removed for certain events where all-ages guidelines are observed . 

We are now required to follow a 24 hour exclusivity rule . Meaning that we’re only able to upload VODs or Clips from the Stream after 24 hours . Any other media will be unaffected .

We now have all the notifications updated , for all sub types . We’ve added emotes, sub-specific emotes, badges and badge flair . 

Hardware :

Last weekend it was discovered the switcher for the two Versatile Cities requires additional hardware to prevent a handshake from occurring when switching. This handshake caused terrible desync. This has been resolved and the Versitile City can switched to stream between the two now.  

The DDR/ITG Solo setup now has some lighting ! 

DDR/ITG Solo , also had another issue of the pad sliding which was only now casually brought up . This has resolved ! Tested by before pushing it by hand , slides ! Wow ! This was very bad !

Now pushed by hand , you REALLY have to push hard to eventually get it to move , so done quite well ! We will listen to feedback to improve this !

Samurai Shodown
Ultra Fight Da Kyanta 2

Future Location :

The IMC has just received a grant to have the flooring of the lower level completely re-done . Part of this will be with the inclusion of Room 28 , which as most of you may now , at this time is bare concrete . Which would be fine for us , but one day , we could out grow this space and the building should have it setup to be rentable from future tenants ! 

We’re still speculating Summer 2024 however this could be pushed out due to the flooring install . 

We will be in talks soon on this again !
