The Rust Kick Off 2 event has concluded and I've finally had the chance to process it all. It's a dream come true to be able to run such a high volume production and push Rust events to a new standard.
I have to thank
@lencorpau and
@LurK_Rust for making everything come to life with the plugins and server setup. These 2 have so much love and passion for the game, and it's the reason we will continue to innovate.
And thank you to my brother
@CoconutBGaming who helped organize many things behind the scenes. Always grateful to have you apart of these events and seeing our visions come true. As well as all the mappers, developers, artists, animators, admins, editors and broadcast team. So many moving pieces but each one is important to make this happen
This year we hit viewership records, did more marketing and overall bring a higher quality event compared to last year. But we are nowhere near done yet. There's so many ideas that are yet to come.
Incredibly grateful for
@kick ,
@ErrnieGerrn and
@Alistair_McF for trusting us with another giant event. We'll never pass up an opportunity like this- thank you for another year of Kick Off
But if you think we're done, you'd be wrong. Because this year we were challenged with back-to-back drop events. Not only were we working on Kick Off 2, but at the same time also working on a completely different event. Next month in July, a very special event of mine returns...
It's almost that time of the year 🌍
