Hi guys,

Happy October! Thank you for being with me for another month. I’ve had a quiet day mostly in bed today, but tomorrow I’m planning on working out the content for the rest of the month.

My last video (playing Among Us) may not have had a ton of views on YouTube, but a ton of you guys have commented about how you’d love to play the game with me - so I’m working out the best way for us to do that! It would be Patreon-exclusive (not sure about what tier yet) but we’d need to work out a way to do voice chat. I know the obvious answer is a Discord server, but I’m still a bit reluctant to have another one of those after the last one dissolved into needless drama and fighting (perhaps those individuals have matured since then, but I still have a negative impression from the whole experience) - so what would you guys suggest? If Discord is the best solution, so be it, but I’d appreciate any alternatives.

I’ll be spending some time this week setting up my Zoom account for the next livestream as well. In my ‘downtime’ (basically the time I’m not on camera) this week I’ve been working on finalising some music that I’m super excited about... it’s so amazing to see a big project begin to take shape.

There will also be a new song demo in the coming days and I’ll also be working on the next Feel Good 101 video!

Hope you’re all well!

Emma

Discord is the best, I can't think of any alternatives. You might one to appoint some people as moderators and set rules to make sure things don't get out of hand

Benjamin Poulson

Zoom is probably a good solution for adding only the specific people you are playing with I think

Nick and Oliver

This sounds hella exciting 🤠 Discord does seem to be the better option tbh

Emma Shearer

Can you do voice only calls on zoom? I don't know but maybe that's an option if so. Not sure. Yeah I'm not too keen on discord after the last one either.

Dalton Davis

Discord would probably be the best. You could always have mods to ban people who aren't patrons or something. There are options on zoom to disable cameras, so you don't *have* to use video chats, but it is never truly a voice chat. I would love to play among us or other games with this group of people! Also super excited for more news on music!

Kia

thats a cool idea!! discord would definitely be the best. if it's a patron only discord server and you have a small team of mods to help and ban people if needed, it could be fine!

Connor Wiffen

Hope you’re doing well too Emma! Like others have said Discord is probably the best option if you can keep it under control. I’m sure we’d be okay with using whatever you’d feel more comfortable using though. Looking forward to the music too :)

John Murphy

Yes! This would be a blast. I don't have any insight into how to get the tech to work, but if there's a way to do it, I'm in.

As long as there are a small number of chat sections and these are moderated (I'd be willing to help you out there!) then it should stay a friendly place! I think setting rules for a discord and having mods continuously making sure these are being followed is a good point of call- it can be a very small discord server!

Bee Singleton

I don't think so however everyone can choose whether they are on camera or not so it absolutely could work!

Kayla

Omg ive always wanted to play among us but none of my friends play! I will 100% be a part of it if i can! This sounds so cool

Avery SImmons

This sounds like so much fun! I love Among Us, but none of my friends play, so it's kinda lame to play with people who aren't on voice chat. Discord is probably the best, we just need some mods or something to keep things in line. Idk why peeps have to be so petty -_-

Jake

This was a fantastic update everything sounds amazing, loved the among us video and excited too hear more about the project and always exciteing to hear demos from you. Take care Emma and thank you for the awesome contact.

Steph

Another vote for Discord. There is a lot of flexibility with how you can have your Discord setup. You can set user permissions and only allow certain users access to the chat room. Having mods is a great idea too. You can also set your whole discord to invite only to keep out the undesirables. What a great idea! I’m excited at the possibility to play Among Us with you and fellow Patreons. It will be so much fun!🥳

James Cast

discord is probably the best option but instead of a server you could create a group dm when you're playing the games and kick people out once they've left the game - my friend streams on twitch and that's what she does!

Nick Macey

If I recall correctly, Discord provides a lot of options for making a server private, and limited who can view/post to channels and the like

OOOOOH BOY I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY WITH YALL
