Hey Patrons!

Here is the full VOD for the first Q&A livestream, which happened last Friday. The stream was almost 2 hours, so I've added an index to the video and description which lets you jump to a particular question or topic.

Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see improved on in the next stream in December. I'm already planning some easy technical adjustments, such as coming up with a better way to queue up questions, and some background music to fill in moments of silence.

Lastly, if you think of any questions you'd like answered in the next stream while watching, feel free to ask them here or in the Youtube comments on the video. I'll also ask for questions on Patreon and Discord closer to the date of the next stream.

Good stream. I thought of some questions for next time, hopefully it will be on the weekend of something.

Shattered Pixel

Even if the stream isn't at a good time for you, you can still ask questions ahead of time and see the answers in the VOD.
