Not much for updates this week ! 

Donations :

We’ve booted up a new Ko-Fi goal after the MBON Streaming goal was met , this time to procure the pads for our DDR machine !

We’re estimating a whopping 500$ for purchase AND shipping ! Which is a lot of money ! Even in the condition as seen in the build thread : Here it’s actually not a bad cost !

On another donation front we now have a new funding drive through the Araiguma Shop ! You will be able to buy merch and support funding of additional equipment , repairs of new and old and the purchase of games ! 

We will have more information on this soon as we prepare to launch ! 

Stream :

We now have a switcher in the Head to Head Room so that the stream can be switched between both Versitile Cities. 

This way if a game is completed during a rotation on one setup , we can easily change to the other , or if separate title is being played .

Hardware :

The Soul Calibur 2 machine has been received and is currently being rebuilt . That thread can be viewed HERE

Downtown Location :

We had a discussion today with the director of the new building who is still planning on working us into the new space once construction is complete . The building flooring in the lower level is being redone which will include our space. While we’re still tracking for our planned location , there is no current timeline to report at this time .
