I just watched the Q&A on twitch. It started late, few watchers (the system showed me 5 at the most), constant loss of chat connection, long periods of awkward silence from the guys in the picture waiting for questions.

Still, I'd say it was a great success and, despite my misgivings, actually a very suitable format for further interaction. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to more of this. I'd like to thank the guys who put this up for being there and for selecting a time of day accessible to us from Europe.

I also was there and liked the format.     I saw 13 at the most at one time on the site.

Looking forward to more in the future.

I have lots of questions but most will be answered when a Beta is released so will not bother you with them now.

For us Americans it's hard because it's the middle of the work day. Would've loved to be able to chat

[olazaboll]

I didnt get conntected at all , so I have to watch once it is  uploaded to Youtube

We're planning to make this a regular thing, probably bi-weekly to start.

Any feedback is welcome, I'm aware there was a couple technical errors. Broadcasting is a hobby of mine, and this was something we just put together last minute because I've been harping for awhile that we need to be more active in the community, so we just said let's do it, and I set it up.

For the schedule, we're probably going to switch up the live time so that we can cater to both American and European users.

It'll be up on Youtube/Vimeo later in the day, for anyone interested.

Hi:

 

I watched the broadcast this morning also and thought that the sound could have been a bit louder as I set the broadcast's sound  and my computer's sound card both on high and still had some problems hearing the broadcast.

 

I agree with Jerry!!  Alot of the questions that I have will most likely be answered when the beta is released.

 

Also, for the videos that were presented during the broadcast, the game looks really good and I can't wait to test this new game.

 

Make it a super day.

I don't have Facebook, Youtube or any other social media so it would be appreciated if you could post the schedule of this site also.

 

Thanks and make it a super day.

Glad to hear it went ahead. albeit with a few niggles.

 

Was still at work here in UK, so unable to join in (but will try and catch the YouTube/Vimeo clip when its uploaded).

 

On a side note, I saw a comment from PP on the Steam Greenlight saying that support is at 90% and rising, so hopefully with a further push we will see Perfect Golf given the thumbs up on Steam and then you are really talking about an audience to target.

 

Facebook account also over 10,000 likes so folks are keeping tabs on the project, lets just hope PP can keep their interest and begin to deliver something to keep them keen.

I was pretty impressed actually, especially with the quality of the video stream and there was absolutely no pain in accessing it. Twitch have done it well.

A single drop video drop out for about 3 seconds, no loss of sound or chat connection ever. 

Only thing I'd suggest is having a large screen close by that both of you can easily see the chat rather than having it relayed.

We had that actually, the relay is so that people who watch the video later know what the questions were. Since they don't see the chat.

Very cool..thanks for doing this fellas.  Looks like things are progressing and this is close to becoming a reality.

[axe360]

Wow!!! Sensational idea to do this.. I was most impressed at what I saw and appreciated the chance to get to know you guy's on a more personal level.... Thanks..

[mjhamilton113]

Wow this video takes us closer and closer to reality. Thanks fellas. Can't wait to see more improvements

Careful now, Volker. This sort of thing is very tough to schedule and even harder to keep up - you guys might soon feel that there is not enough new stuff that justifies a public grill party every second week. Jerry said it very well earlier: Most questions will answer themselves once the game is out. 

 

If I may suggest, I'd like to see much more of the game during the Q&A's. Perhaps pre-record a dozen hole flybys and loop them, just to show some golfy stuff. Cuz that's the good stuff, that's why we're here. That will make life easier for the guys in front of the live camera as well. 

[shimonko]

We can get questions answered on the forum. The podcasts I hope are more about getting the name out there and building community around this game. I spend 10 hours a week on golf forums, another 70 developing in the industry and I hadn't heard of PP until I searched to see if Mike Jones went on to bigger and better things after remembering his courses.

I think the first one was a perfect start with phones ringing and the unhappy guy who made his thoughts known. 

[JoeF]

Thanks, guys. I enjoyed hearing you speak of the game and it's development. Look forward to the future podcasts.

On a technical note - speaking as an audio engineer - Volker needs a mic too.  

[BladeUK]

As you never know how many will log and therefore are able to 'chat', rather than just watch.... next time bring some cue cards or printed emails and such like so if no one asks a question instead of waiting you can just pick up a peice of paper, read the question and carry on, bypassing any awkward silence. You can also use the 'cards' as memory joggers so you don't forget to impart all you want to and not realise after the broadcast that you didn't say something. Nice video though. Well done.

 

Dave.

One thing, on the first of Volkers tee shots, the ball rolls back quite a long way, in the grass, maybe some more tweaking there? Or if these comments should be saved for later? No problem..

[mbidney]

Where can I view a full screen version of this Q&A?
