Hey guys!
Welcome to the very first Jestr Recap 🎉
We’ve wanted to do something like this for a while now, where we can keep you in the loop on everything happening across the community: from roundtables, feedback sessions, new events or whatever else we’ve been cooking up behind the scenes.
Every week, we’ll drop a recap just like this one so you never have to dig through Discord to catch up on what you missed.
So lets get into it, here's what's been happening this week, and what's coming next!!
Creator Roundtable
First off, shoutout to Alex (ThatsNotFamilyFriendly) for hosting the Jestr Roundtable this past week!
One of the big things talked about in this session was Hooks, specifically how to layer in a second beat of tension right after your opening line, instead of just stating what the video is about. Adding a small “but,” a twist, an open loop before paying anything off can be the difference between a scroll-stopper and a watch-through.
We actually dove a little deeper into how to keep viewers watching after the hook in one of our recent blogs here!
The Jestr Roundtable has been, and will continue to be, one of the most valuable community-driven resources we have to offer. The creators who’ve participated have received tons of valuable insights and the growth SHOWS.
If you’ve never been to a roundtable session before, this is an event where creators submit their content to be reviewed by the community, and get actionable feedback on what they can do to improve. If you want to be a part of the next creator roundtable, simply submit to this form and show up to the event on discord, Mondays 2pm EST!
However, everyone is welcome to join and listen in. The advice given to other creators are things you can apply to your own content.
Feedback Friday
Mahdeen hosted this week’s Feedback Friday and he gave some great insights on the direction of the platform and the general sentiment around Jestr at Gamescom.
We had a great discussion regarding what’s being actively prioritized by the team, and some great conversations around what’s coming up. Specifically:
The status on the Key Claim System rework
Campaign Guardrails & Submission Rules
Collection campaigns, and the general sentiment around mobile games.
Upcoming events, showcases, merch ideas, and the next potential Jestr Meet-Up at Pax East
We can’t express how grateful we are as a team to have such an engaged community. A LOT of the quality of life updates and positive changes to the platform are the result of the feedback you guys give us in these calls and in the feedback channel.
What’s Coming Up?
Jestr Weekly Gaming Sessions 🎮
Here is this week’s LFG Schedule!
Every Sunday, we’ll release a schedule of what game will be played on each day, then we’ll open up LFG groups for creators to opt into. This will be announced weekly in the gaming discord channel with a notification ping sent out to those with the LFG tag!
And YES, we will provide keys to everyone who joins the Jestr Hosted Games! So now you can play with other creators without losing any of your key claim slots!
We’re aiming to host 3 sessions a day at various times to accommodate creators from different parts of the world. So if you see a game you want to play, and a timeslot that works best for you, feel free to opt in and collaborate with other creators!
Subtember to Remember Event
This week kicks off the Subtember to Remember twitch event hosted by our fellow streamers Preacher & MrEricAlmighty!
This event was put together to support the streamers in the community, by collaborating on an organized raid train schedule that runs every Monday & Wednesday through the entire month of September.
If you’re interested in participating in the event, you can sign up through this form, and the lovely hosts will reach out via discord!
We love seeing the community support each other through events like this, and we’ll definitely be there to show support! :)
A quick shout-out to all the new Jestr’s that joined this week and attended the onboarding session on Wednesday! It was great to see new faces in the community, and we look forward to seeing your success ✨
