(Ehem, should this be a poll?)

Not sure streaming through Facebook is really the best option out there, though. We'd be able to reach many more and also have the edge in quality on Youtube. We have a lot planned for BeyChannel at the moment and I really do hope your suggestions can be included.

Facebook streaming has its benefits in a way, so I wouldn't rule that out. YouTube and Twitch might be bigger platforms for these kind of things though.

If we were to implement this, just imagine how interactive the committee or others could be with the rest of the community. It would give normal members of the community the opportunity to ask questions, make suggestions and get instant feedback. I know I would most definitely volunteer to do a live QA with the community.

Whether it's some kind of update log, Q&A session, or just a publicly available "list of stuff we're working on or discussing now", it would be nice to see progress being made aside from the occasional news post.

There always seems to be some sort of different between locations and it affects perceptions of how good a part is. Like when F230 was running rampant Canada didn't seem to have a problem, but most other locations did.

If Battle Cry is a big enough event (or any other major event coming up for that matter) it would be interesting to have a casting table. Other games have a camera focused on the match but have mics in a different area for people to discuss the current battle. I'm not entirely sure how much work has to be put into making that happen, but it would Be interesting to have about 1 feature match per round and have a experienced member who doesn't have a match commentate that and maybe even talk to the winner afterward. Maybe kinda high expectations but if we could do this it would be amazing.

Quote:It sounds like a lot to accomplish, but I agree it's the ideal. I would love to have something like this at our Anime North event next year. Large convention events seem like the ideal place for this.

Quote:I hope "normal members" realize that they already have the opportunity to ask questions and make suggestions (like this thread!) haha. Do people really have that many questions for us to answer live that we could actually answer with no prep time? And wouldn't collecting questions beforehand and answering them live on video be just as effective (and allow for tighter editing)?

From what I've seen in typical comments sections for livestreams, I'm not sure how much I want to take questions in a comments section live. haha

Quote:Since we all work on this in our spare time from home and we're all separated I'm not sure how interesting it would be :p I would love to share more about how we work. I also think this is content that would be appreciated more by hardcore site users, so wouldn't putting it on the forum suit them the most?

I think it would be fun. I'd love to do something like that. Look forward to it

I would be more comfortable with a dedicated app like Discord as opposed to operating within Facebook, but I suspect that I am very much in the minority
