Also not to sound completely mean, if you have questions or suggestions about the project... BY ALL MEANS feel free to bump this thread! I love actual conversation and feedback! Just please, do NOT bump this thread solely for the purpose of "Can I get a download?" or "Where can I download it?"

To answer those questions concisely:
There WAS a version released that was a dry run attempt at the main controller window. This was done to get "fresh eyes" on the whole thing to see if there was anything that I might have missed or did not plan for in that build. To all those who provided feedback during that run, THANK YOU! It has been immensely helpful.

There were no graphics available for that version either... this was just a test of the main window and basic functionality. That demo is now dead and removed and that particular version is lost to the ether, never to return. You are not missing out anything. Believe me!

Another dry run of the controller module will be released when I'm closing in on being "done" with the "mechanical" controller. Once I'm done with the mechanical controller, and "feature creep" doesn't bite me in the backside... I'll start working on the Unity Controller (aka the presenter) and then finally the Hackbox, Twitch, and Kick implementations. I know I've been working on this for (almost) a decade at this point... but I ask that y'all be patient.

So in summary:

- Mechanical controller: The Visual Basic.NET build. This is effectively acting as a giant remote of the presentations. To conflate it to the SourceForge, this is replacing the keyboard input.
- The Unity Controller: This is a Unity/C# project that will ultimately be responsible for displaying the graphics. Work will also be attempted to make the Unity project transparent for overlay purposes into something like Open Broadcaster Software or StreamLabs Desktop and other softwares. The Mechanical controller will effectively be a remote to this.
- "Hackbox". This is another streamers implementation of the popular Jackbox style games. They currently have a presentation of "All Clued up" (or Million Dollar Chance of a Lifetime here in the states) which uses an implementation of this. My goal is to make this run a website that will operate as both the FFF and ATA clickers.
- Twitch/Kick/YouTube: This is effectively a chatbot that will read up and count the votes of the chat. But there is a 99.9% I may make a guide for another Chat bot instead of making one from scratch.

Great to see that you still active in this project. Have been looking forward in this since the days that I haven't active in here as a member.
Also asking a little bit about the host screen, last time you said that you want to have my custom design in it as an alternate layout, I really want to know if you even considered to do it yet, and will you try to fix anything in it yet.
One more thing is that thing would count a chat box. I wonder if in the future you can try to do it with Discord chat. 

Anyway, it's great! I hope I can join the tester team, but idk how. Just wait and see the progress for now.

Hi! Hope you've been doing okay.

To answer your questions... Yes! I do remember I was fascinated with your sketch up of the Host/Contestant Screens and I still do plan on including it in as an alternate layout when I'm with the "faithful" adaptations of the actual screens. I haven't got to the part of the project to work on the visual stuff, but once I do... I will definitely work to collab with you to include your version of the screen to work.

As for joining the tester team, just by being a part of this forum you're apart of the tester team. There will be a point that I separate it out for future builds but for right now, just by being here... you're all set.

Nice! Thanks for the reply! Wishes that I can try it soon!

A new host screen design, that based on the US Clock Format rule(but same layout as my current work) is under construction now. The layout that I later gave to you will be the new update of the screen. I'll also send it to trusted members after that anyway.

Hey retched, hope you had a fabulous day!



I found an interesting fact about the software icon used on many WWTBAM internationalized, discovered on the Vietnamese version (host screen). You should take a look as it is my suggestion when it's come to a software icon for your project : )

Here is my recreation for what I mentioned.

Hey! That's a pretty cool idea! I might do a similar kind of thing when I'm ready.
