    Rad! Thanks for letting us know, Phil. I'll go check in on Project Palpatine.

    I'm considering streaming the workshop build once we've decided on an idea and start playtesting it, although I'm not sure how well my internet and laptop would handle it. I'll have to do a couple of tests.

    Yeah, I forgot to put a link there but then decided not to reply to my comment since the thread itself has a link to my stream lol

    You'll need to see how much bitrate you can get away with.  Having low upload bandwidth will impact the quality by quite a bit.

    Oh yes! Make it happen  What a good way to show the collaborative effort. Maybe all those who are taking part can join the chat.

    How would I go about testing that?

    Use speedtest.net to get a good idea of how much bandwidth you have available for uploading, then try watching your own stream and adjusting the bitrate and buffer if you're getting any buffering instead of a smooth stream.  If the bitrate is too little to deal with the resolution, you'll start to see compression artifacts (fuzziness and strange colors).  At that point you can either deal with it if you can't increase the bitrate, or you can downsample the resolution (but that will make the output smaller and harder to see detail)
