Hi guys,

We are constantly looking for the best ways to communicate with S2ENGINE HD users.

We just now have:

• a YoutTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2ZtOnjR0iNnVnBnqIrA53w?view_as=subscriber) for video tutorials and video previews
  
• a Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1092162417509326) for discussion and Q&A
  

BUT

We want to improve the way we communicate information about S2ENGINE by supporting new platforms: Twitch and Discord.


We have opened a Discord channel:
https://discordapp.com/invite/nuqt5Yg?fbclid=IwAR3qLgCfnJnMKMGE0oN6rpEJry04oHQesEoUdq4qRove2ivbDvUSUeSPjPw

We believe Discord could become a great place in which make s2engine community growing, because it is a social platform designed specifically for doing this :)


Also we have opened a Twitch channel:
https://www.twitch.tv/profenixstudio

we found Twitch as a great platform for making streams, much more performing than other streaming services.
The only drawback is that we can only make streams for now, we CANNOT repeat streams storing them as videos (such as Youtube), because we have to become affiliates.

One of the pre-requisites to become affiliate is to have more than 50 followers SO follow our Twitch channel, for 2 reasons:
1 - you will be notified when a stream starts, so you will not miss streamed tutorials, or weekly reports
2 - Help us in becoming Affiliate and then have the possibility to store and re-play all the streams

What you fill find on the Twitch channel?
For now we have planned to make WEEKLY REPORTS of the S2ENGINE development status in form of video streams.


Help us in growing S2ENGINE community and join these 2 new channels,
we are really interested in make these 2 the preferred way to communicate with our users and really simplify the way through which we can communicate information.

Follow US and Stay tuned
