Planning to redesign the current match page to make room for some new features etc. lmk if you have some problems with it. Idea is that tournaments/SQ/some future things will share the core layout with specific things unique between them ofc. #sendouink

New sendou ink features! 1) After tournament has concluded, we will now automatically get timestamped VOD links for Twitch and show them on bracket. 2) "Spoiler free" mode you can enable on the settings, hides results of recent tournaments unless you click a button to reveal #sendouink

Reminder that there is still the new layout feedback thread on my Discord. I think most of the reported things have been either fixed or noted for later but if you have something in mind that you didn't report yet feel free to do so. In replies here is good too. #sendouink

Idea for a new badge system where the actual models will be rendered in real time, fully interactable. Model by @brushmommy.bsky.social

Brand new features! 1) Aside from just counterpick or ban 2 you can now have more custom pick/ban in tournaments. For teams this means a new strategic depth and for organizers new ways to differentiate your event 2) Friends widget (new user page) #sendouink

picoCAD 2 is out! 📐 build models easily 🎨 draw pixelart textures 🍿 make simple animations Get it on Steam and itch! 👉 picocad.net #screenshotSaturday #pixelart #gamedev

In The Zone 50 is happening tomorrow! Don't have a team yet? Try the new #sendouink tournament LFG feature: sendou.ink/to/3435/look...

For the past few days I've been mostly in bug fix mode but also managed to sneak in a few new features: 1) You can now generate YT timestamps from a VoD you submitted to the site (chapter markers) 2) Notifications for /to/:id/looking page like/group merge 3) Tournament page share button #sendouink

Idek how it was before but it's so funny to play. Inkjet one of the better designed specials no doubt. I'm what you might call a seasoned player these days so these longer range guns suit me well

This concept came to mind about map+mode notes. For example: your own notes from solo what spots work? Team notes from VoD review, how to open? Some top level players notes about the best inkjet spots on that map. Goal=improve your play across variety of maps. Useful or not really? #sendouink

Thanks for the early feedback everyone 💪 Got 17 different fixes in already tonight and more tomorrow as well as over the weekend.

It got a bit out of the hand

Biggest update to sendou ink ever is now live! New layout, friends system, SQified tournament subs, site-wide chat, new mobile UI and so much more... Huge shout-out to @hfcred.dev for all the work on this with me. Wouldn't be possible without their efforts. #sendouink

Day #9 of sendou ink redesign features highlighted 🚨Triple feature today, each of which would have been worth a day of its own but we are running out of days lol 🚨 1) Global chat 2) "SQified" tournament subs page 3) Map planner now mobile friendly by @hfcred.dev #sendouink

Day #8 of sendou ink redesign features highlighted 1) [Supporters] Custom theme is now only for your user profile but you can have your own preference across the app. Not only colors but also spacings and how round things are etc. 2) Mobile UI has been reimagined #sendouink

Day #7 of sendou ink redesign features highlighted @hfcred.dev did a huge job on overhauling all the design tokens. What this means: - light mode is no longer just an afterthought - all user created themes are now guaranteed accessible Unrelated but see those bracket lines 👀 #sendouink

Day #6 of sendou ink redesign features highlighted Big goal we had was making navigating around the site effortless and with that in mind we have introduced: 1) Global search (incl. 🆕 tournament, org) 2) Weapon quick access 3) Categorized nav items (desktop) #sendouink

Day #5 of sendou ink redesign features highlighted You'll be able to find X Rank/Series/Open rotations right on the front page. In addition you can filter by mode if you happen to have preferences for any reason 👀 #sendouink

Day #4 of sendou ink redesign features highlighted Streams is the 3rd and last section of the new global sidebar. Collects together SQ, tournament and high XP player streams. There's a system that prefers higher tier streams to ensure you never miss a chance to watch top level matches. #sendouink

Forgot to mention but user page also will list the mutual friends (test data in the screenshot).

Day #3 of sendou ink redesign features highlighted Friends is a new feature that replaces the old trusted system. On the global sidebar you can see right away if your friends (or teammates) are looking for a SendouQ group or tournament team. Friend requests can be sent at any time. #sendouink

Day #2 of sendou ink redesign features highlighted "My events" is the first section of the new global sidebar. Find all your events in one place: tournaments (hosted/joined/saved) and scrims! There is also a place that shows all of the events with filtering. #sendouink

We have been working on what was supposed to be a small UI refresh with @hfcred.dev since December but it got way out of hand. In the end it's a full re-imagining of the whole interface with several highly requested features. Leading up to the launch I will highlight one feature a day! #sendouink

Welcome to Season 11. Planned dates: In The Zone 50 - Sat 28th March In The Zone 51 - Sat 25th April Finale Qualifier - Sat 16th May Season Ends - Sun 17th May Finale ($500 prize) - Sat 23rd May Good luck and have fun! #sendouink

alright it's out you guys have a good time : youtu.be/3RLK7NpJ89A

Any opinions what I should do with map/mode bans for SQ Season 11? As a reminder TW/SZ have all maps legal and TC/RM/CB have some bans but... 1) since SQ launch map quality improved with some updates 2) we anyway have teams picking maps Is the whole banning now redundant? #sendouink

Here are the planned changes to Plus Server and Season Finale for next season that starts next week. #sendouink

Amazing grand finals obviously but giving a chance for any team to show their potential on the big stage was one of the main goals I had with Season Finale. Very happy to see results like this 💪

SendouQ Major #10 🏆 w/ Noah, Gos, Jordan. Always a blast to compete against strong japanese players, had a good clutch moment in game7 to secure my 4th SQ Major win!!

Top 4 now!!

Added a new user profile widget: in-game badges! Show off 4 (side widget) or 8 (main widget) of your favorites. #sendouink

Here's every player making their #SendouQ Finale debut in season 10! Who is gonna make waves in their first showing? - Azu - Momo - め - Treyshawn - Hayden - Goji - Splatickle - Riki - Bonk - Mirage - Carlos? - Allegro - Ace - No_Name - Assis - Kito - Boopy #compsplatoon

Pools vs. Invite Link for SQ/tournaments Which do you prefer? I've been thinking and I could see: - if invite link sent to chat, make it an always visible clickable link - qr code to quick access with mobile - tournament remember invite link from previous rounds [1/3] #sendouink

Want to learn more about the teams competing in SendouQ Season 10 Finale? Join us this Friday for our preshow! @sapphireia.bsky.social @rissahi.bsky.social @cyrenbanshi.bsky.social @obesetyrese.bsky.social 🎥 @pipedreamdx.com 🗓️ Friday, Feb. 27 @ 5PM PST / 8PM EST

Season 10 Finale teams confirmed. Definitely once more a tournament not to miss. Streamed live by players and @iplabs.ink this Saturday! sendou.ink/to/2979/teams #sendouink

Added a new feature to tournaments: draft. Draft is intended to be used when you want to work privately on a tournament in your organization before you are ready to make it public. Draft tournaments don't show on calendar and are not accessible via link unless you are a TO. #sendouink

Planning a new "custom" pick/ban format in addition to the existing Counterpick and Ban 2 options. This would allow a freedom of selecting an actions you want to occur before set and after each game be it map pick, mode ban or automatic map selection and who does it (winner, loser, team alpha etc.)

Announcing a new user page design for sendou ink, now in preview for Supporters. It allows you to customize your preferred page out of around 30 widgets (at launch). Naturally there's a bunch of completely new elements e.g. badges authored, peak SP, LFG post links, bio markdown... #sendouink

Back home after two amazing weeks in Japan! Had a great time and we did a ton but also happy to get back to working on the project After taking the break there is some backlog of things for me to do. Getting started with that today from what I can with the jet lag 😴

20XX IS BACK! (didya miss us?) Mark the dates! March 14th & 15th at 7pm CET/1PM ET > EVERYONE QUALIFIES FOR DAY 2! < $200 Starting Prizepool! Playing in LUTI? We have LUTI maps! Registrations are now OPEN on sendou ink! Bracket link: sendou.ink/to/3257/regi...

Maybe I should now that they fixed the weapon usage calculation

Very interested to see cooler usage this patch. Cooler respawn + SJ time pretty heavy impact imo 7.133s->8.133s. At those margins I'd imagine you feel it. Pencil harder to get kills for people not as adept with it. Aura abilities overlap 4/7 New death disincentiver (gives enemy aura)

Patch 11.0 is now up on the site. Includes new params to Build/Comp Analyzer & Obj DMG calc. Also added the SJ nerf to Build Analyzer and a new AURA toggle. Thank you Lean for the params as always. Have fun with the new patch everyone! #sendouink

Excited for the 2nd LUTI hosted on sendou.ink 😎

LARGEST PATCH BREAKDOWN EVER MADE BY THIS CHANNEL (I THINK) UP NOW GO WATCH AND RT SHOUTOUTS TO THE EDITORS: youtu.be/obOIoU4YF04?... (all nighters are a canon event across everyone I've worked with)

Which mechanics change do you think will have a bigger gameplay impact Splatoon 3 launch (Squid Roll/Surge & Spawn from air) vs. Or 11.0 (HP bar, Aura, hitbox change)

Can we get the health bars showing somehow in the spec cam please

Your mate mid-game: he is one oh my god he is so weak somebody hit him literally 1hp left And then when you watch the vod back you see

Next balance patch expected sooner than normal

Wow quite interesting. Can't wait to see how these changes play out in practice. Since you can extend the flow aura (what a name) with assists too it might potentially be active for quite a long time. First Stealth Jump since launch of Splatoon 2 is huge since it's everywhere. Seeing HP is big too
