## CTV Updates

### Brad's New News for All of Yous

New Segment for ctv\_Brad to talk about all the new things! Prototypes, future plans, etc!
#### Protohype

StreamRaiders was built as a tool to have streamers and viewers play together. The prototype is going to allow viewers to play offline.
* Prototype screenshots teased:

the little offline battlevarious bonuses and effects15 little battles inside of the big streamer battle
* The prototype is being built to bring in new players and keep them longer.
* This will be a separate game from Stream Raiders, although it uses similar core features as Raiders

A lot of people are comparing the new Prototype to Stream Pirates and saying it will fall a similar fate. Brad addressed these concerns and made some good points about how CaptainTV is more open about the BTS of game development including the challenges and failed ideas. He also re-enforced the main reason why Pirates failed being because it was in the middle ground between being a side game or the main game, they also ignored that problem until it was too late. He also stated that currently no new side-games are being created, Stream Raiders will be the main side-game on the CaptainHub. This prototype is being made to be a more deeper main game.
* Brad has stated that Raiders has been declining in profits, he only talked about the Prototype with money in mind because someone brought it up and he wanted to explain how this game can help make CaptainTV money. The understanding is the Prototype will bring in more players and keep them around longer, used as a marketing strategy.

## Trivia

* ctv\_Brad talked about how CaptainTV has been given two cease and desists, the first was about the StreamRaiders winter event, Icefall, and the latest being about the title of an unannounced game.
* StreamerRaiders' Dark Heart event's name was inspired after one of ctv\_Brad's children.
* ctv\_Thomas was banned from Discord.
* ctv\_Thomas possibly leaked the New Versus-Focused unit as the "Engineer", although he could have meant the person behind designing the unit's functionality.
* Raid call: *No Official Raid Call*
* They Raided HipsuVT, they were playing Stream Raiders. They were granted the Exclusive Dev drops.
