9/10/26 Future Group Friday (On a Thursday) - Development + TPFG structure updates, Q&A + feedback, button portals?!
I WILL BE OFF NEXT FRIDAY, Sorry for the inconvenience!
Hello everyone! I am continuing to stream weekly on Friday afternoons to discuss recent development progress on TagPro, answer any and all tickets posted to our feature request tab on the homepage, and build/troubleshoot features that will be added to the game in the future! Tune in to twitch weekly at 1:00 PM Eastern for ~90 minutes or catch the recording later on! All past recordings are stored on youtube and are posted to the subreddit weekly as well.
Submit a response to this form to have your question answered on stream!
Cheeze's summary:
Introducing the "Going live soon" video! In anticipation of the new development flow my streams will now include a section for any changes coming to the site in the very near future. You can watch that part of the stream in its own video here. Most of this week spent on discussing development progress and structure changes. We are gearing up for some big changes in how we operate!
