There’s a lot of talk about how, when a new year begins, there is no real thing that changes. Everything continues on like normal and the construct of time bears no witness to our machinations. However, I think this is a little suspect. The magic of Calendars is long tested, we have evolved and our minds have grown in the direction of dissecting our experience down and categorizing it. Maybe a ‘New Year’s Resolution’ is just something that each person make up but the change in year definitely has some impact on us whether we are conscious of it or not.
ANYWAYS… I want to focus on both the events of last year and the plan for the following year, and where things sit now.
The two big changes in the past year:
- Twitch stream started with regular scheduling
- This very website was created to connect the different internet media
As for the now-now, GameArcane has a web presence on these web locations:
- Website
- YouTube
- Twitch
- Discord
- Steam
What sort of things are on the horizon, both for this year and further out.
- YouTube Video Series/Essay
- GameArcane part 2/3
- GameArcane part 3/3
- Magic the Gathering Color Theory
- Video Reviews
- Bulletin Board
- VR Chat room
- Game Reviews
- Steam Curator page reviews
- Video Reviews
- Website Wiki/reviews
- Twitch Affiliate
- Occult Dictionary
- Game List wiki
- Visual updates and overhaul to website and other media
- Sound effects and music
- Twitch overlay and scenes
Wow that’s a lot of stuff!
This whole project started on Reddit as a way to bring awareness to the conjunction of these seemingly different topics, and with almost 700 followers its definitely the largest of the different splinters but hardly the most active. Twitch stream is live 3-4 times a week but only sees about 4 average viewers.
One goal for this year may be to just bridge the gap between these different services. Without any editors or team other than a few selfless moderators, the task is large, but never impossible.
