Titles bolded in orange mean this must be an important thread. - UPDATED 9/5/2016
So, here is what im doing, I noticed recently noticed that a few youtubers are making video projects over maps that are in dev, so being someone that LOVES streaming and streams mapping on my twitch channel (totally not an ad), I have decided to make a NEW THING!

So what is this new thing you've told us nothing about?
Map Follies with Dave is the official name, and it is a map review live streaming show. :)
So, instead of someone recording for 3 hours to get feedback, for a 2 min. video, you get 3 full hours of feedback!

COOL! But when is it and more details please??
You got it orange text!
If I see this is getting actual attention, It will become a constant on my stream.
As to what I will be doing, I will be going over anything requested before hand first, like a normal imp or game day, except you get to hear it from my perspective LIVE!
I go over the layout, sight lines, possible clipping errors, anything you specify, and you get to hear my luxurious voice say all these things and anything else I can think of on the spot.
All episodes are recorded, and will be uploaded on my YouTube Channel

Current Time/Days in Central US Time:
Currently unavailable, but you will be warned when an episode is scheduled!

Ok so its not a stupid idea, but how do I let you know I want my map to be looked at?
Well firstly thanks for getting this far down, you must actually be interested in this.
For now, just reply to this with a format I will place here:
Map name:
Link to map thread and/or Download:
Has your map used any different names during testing? (N/A if no):
Would you prefer to be in contact with me during the show via voice communication? (Discord only):
Current version/version testing:
Notes or things to look over:
Time preferred to view (Please convert to CST, or mention your timezone):
Would you be willing to provide the VMF?:

Ill probably forget something important and have to edit this, ill edit this when that happens.
please dont sue me @Egan

If you can post the recording afterwards (Twitch saves broadcasts if you enable the option to do so) that would be good just in case the mapper misses the stream (onto youtube, preferably).

And ya don't worry about stepping on my toes :p I started making those feedback videos because I wanted to see peoples' thoughts on custom maps (at 3am when I was bored on my phone in my bed) but there wasn't any on youtube.

Also I've found personally it's nice to have the final say of what maps you'd be talking about some days, just in case there is a map you don't particularly have anything to talk about on.

Good point, but I dont know how to upload those videos to youtube. I have that option enabled and it does save the recordings, but they are usually of one long stream and I do more then this on a "normal" stream.
So perhaps some instructions on how to do so would be nice?

Glad to see I dont need to call my lawyer on this one. :)

Off topic edit:
But can an admin change the title of this to Map Follies with Dave, New live stream show thingy!
Non admin edit: Thanks admin

Hey buddy-boy, I have a lot of experience with video editing and recording, and working the yeetubes. If you ever need any help, I'd totally love to help you out on stuff. I don't know what you would need help on, but if you ever need it, I'd love to work with you.

Apparently you can make a highlight from a VOD (a past broadcast) and then export that highlight directly to youtube from inside twitch (i've never tried before).

I've exported twitch highlights to youtube, just a couple of small ziggurat things. Does exactly what it says on the tin, works great.

Map name: koth_prettysawlit_a5b
Current version/version testing: A5B
Notes or things to look over: Layout, hazards, which areas should become wider, where I should reduce the props & do they need to be moved somewhere.

To make this clear, any kind of feedback is appreciated. Also, if you say something like "this area is too OP for snipers", then please for a love of ___ , try to suggest something so I know what to do.

Time preferred to view: The earlier, the better.

Did you still want me to edit the video clips and do all the shiznits?

UPDATE:
I have 3 maps, and a 72hr time slot.
I have 2 ideas on how to fill in this space, and btw for those of you who wonder why I'm making this update, I need more content.
I WILL BE DOING MAP FOLLIES WITH DAVE THE ENTIRE DURATION OF THE JAM!
Back to my 2 ideas:
1. I hope that a few more of you would like to have your existing projects looked over during the jam
2. I look at more developed maps on day 2 or 2.5 (when I think I will be running out of existing projects) and look over them in half episodes.

Thank you.

SUPER SORRY FOR IGNORING THIS! I'VE BEEN REALLY BUSY LATELY
I want to pick this up again, as it was really fun before, and it would be a great way to get back into the community.

If any of these maps has been updated, and you still have interest, please post a reply.

If anyone else wants to have their map on the series, follow the format in the OP.
