This blog post has been added to the website in 2025.
As I’ve now officially become a Twitch Affiliate, I decided to re-do a lot of things, especially on Discord.
Let’s call this..
🌈 THE SOCIAL UPDATE 🌈
PetByte 2.0.0, 2024-08-19
Discord-side
- All channels now have uniform and updated permissions
- All channel names now have emojis to more easily identify them
- I’ve privated the old “Would you rather…?” channel
- I’ve privated the “ask-me-things” and “fragt-mich-zeugs” channels
- I’ve privated the “24/7 LoFi” stage channel and kicked the Lofi Radio bot
- I’ve added Twitch integration for a sub channel and emotes
- I’ve also added a channel for Twitch VIPs
- Rules have been slightly updated
- I’ve added a bot to ping when I post something on YouTube or go live on Twitch (I have plans for Instagram and Twitter notifications, and VOD channel notifications)
- Level Rewards have been introduced, these include: “Regulars Chat”, Ability to Embed Links at Level 10, Ability to create polls, send voice messages, and use a soundboard as well as external sounds at Level 15, and the ability to use application commands and external apps, as well as change the Voice Channel Status at Level 20
- I’ve added a new “social” category with alerts for all my platforms, and channels for you to chat in.
- Levels have changed. I’ve moved the MAX level from 40 to 50, and moved Very Active to level 15. I’ve also added some new level roles. Also remember, you can only gain XP through text chats. The new level progression now looks like this:
@2024, @New Member, @Active (Lvl5), @Pretty Active (Lvl10), @Very Active (Lvl15), @Regular (Lvl20), @Always here (Lvl25), @MAX (Lvl50), @L E V E L ㅤㅤ6 9 - All roles have been reworked in a way
- There is now a little “server economy”, and you can buy roles for special channels, if you like. This includes the @Rich (10K) and @Millionaire (1M) roles with exclusive VC’s and text channels
- I updated the role selection, it is now way nicer
Twitch-side
- I am now monetized, meaning you can cheer, or subscribe!
- I’ve added 8 emotes, sub badges until 1 year, all the bit badges (1 to 5 million), and 15 channel point rewards
- I want to do this with the best “revenue to viewer satisfaction” ratio possible, the only “forced” monetization a viewer will experience is one 90-second ad break every 30 minutes, and no pre-rolls!
- Previous VODs (both on Twitch and YouTube) will return soon
- My first stream back is going to be on the night to August 20th (at 19.08.24 23:00 CEST)! Also, I am out of school so I can do this thing FULL-TIME!
- I am almost done on the joelfrom08 V-Tube model V2. Improved facial expressions AND ARMS/HANDS TRACKING!!
- And I have updated my overlay again to have mostly optimal experience
YouTube-side
- YouTube uploads will come back starting August 19th! (Monday, Wednesday, Friday 15:00 CEST)
PetByte Game Development-side
- And PetByte Game Development is temporarily paused.
