Waterpark Simulator News

[p]Just a quick one to address the issue with the Twitch integration

Basically, we were down for a few days due to Twitch being Twitch

It should be back and working again.

Just want to give a massive shout-out to Matthew from Crowd Control for pointing us towards a different way of doing this system that allowed us to solve it

If you are a fan of the Crowd control system, they even have a pack for our game already - https://crowdcontrol.live/game/waterpark-simulator/?pack=WaterparkSimulator
