Oh Yay. More Streams!

[Trumps]

What tiem zone is that

[The Jedi Master]

Be nice this time, people. Let us not make the same mistakes.

[deadshot462]

Nice to see this again. So far the last few streams with devs have been great.

[Sirine]

Sorry, I'm new to here, but what is "SQUAD Streams" or what "Streams" do?

[Dasemay]

i never attended said streams, so could some one fill me in on what went wrong?

[bigdad84]

For those who don't know, it's similar to the KSP weekly updates, but in video form, showing off the weeks newest dev version of KSP (if available), chatting with mod developers, etc.

[Captain Sierra]

Would love to get some advertising. I do very limited mod work but the few things I have in the works will be very cool.

Anyways, I bump the time zone question. When is it? I don't mind staying up watching.

[ngianoplus]

Please be later that night, darn school. I cannot miss this! Love KSP and I'm glad they're back!

[Captain Sierra]

Any time after 3pm EST is good for me. I'll be there.

[swiftgates24]

Ya darn young'ns, back in my day we had SQUAD streams all the time! You kids these days...

[NASI Director]

They should upload the streams for later viewers on YouTube for those of us with all day homework.

I hate homework.

[RocketPilot573]

They're BACK!!! Yes! It will be nice to not have those secret updates anymore (.20.0-.21.1).

[SkyHook]

I hope that they are dev streams, those are my favorite!

What happened during the last live stream?

[Arrowstar]

During the last live stream, Harv mentioned "DLC" and the community went wild. It was not pretty. They basically shut the streams down to prevent that kind of thing from happening again. Hopefully things go a bit better this time.

[AlternNocturn]

I don't think it was the "DLC situation" that caused them to stop the streams. If I recall they stopped doing them right as Damion Rayne left the team as Community Manager.

[Pulstar]

The format will be different though, IIRC it was mentioned back around the time KSP TV launched that the most common problem with the old stream was that devs came over but sometimes didn't have much to talk about. The result was a lot of awkward silence and "uh, I'm just going to screw around in KSP" from Damion since there wasn't anything else planned sometimes. Of course screwing around in KSP isn't bad by itself, but people expect a bit more from an official stream. The two streams, one or development one for community model was a bit of a failure IMO, because bringing in devs every week wasn't possible. Also some people kept confusing the one of the other. Merging those two streams and having the devs come over sometimes, when they have stuff to show and discuss, and focusing on the community interviews etc. at other times is best. Just seemed redundant and sometimes less is better.

Really, some development news are best served in the short section of the KSP weekly. If something big is coming a dev can post a dev blog entry or go talk with maxmaps on the stream. No point in having a separate stream just or development updates.

[Tataffe]

Could you give us UTC times, please?

[karolus10]

That's interesting... I'm looking forward to see dev-streams back .

[Zorrm]

This will be awesome, I'm definitely excited to see what they have in store for us this time.

[Athlonic]

This was unexpected !

I am really looking forward these stream again, they were so much fun and interesting to watch !

Thanks Squad, thank you soooooo much !

<3

[allmappedout]

I'm also massively looking forward to the dev streams. I think that as one of the posters said, a lot of the times there was less to show off and the community was a little bit impatient. I'm hoping that with the slightly quicker QA times and the smaller-but-more-often updates should keep everyone happy.

Plus it'll be nice to get the back and forth between the community and the devs again. PDxTV has been doing a great job so far with the weekly updates so hopefully this should be another string in the bow!

I hate homework.

Often streams on twitch are archived for a while, so you might be able to watch it later on their ksptv channel.
