Hey everyone, so I'm sure most of you have seen my presentations of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Anime Style!" on some of my Youtube videos. If not, here's an example of one of them (this has over 14,000 views!!!)

I've been thinking though, I kinda wanna change the gameplay format a bit when it comes to the actual presentation. Not a HUGE change, but I wanna keep things fresh in a way. I know for a fact that I'll be at least updating some of the graphics to make the overall game look better cosmetically, but as far as the actual contestant being in the hotseat, I'm thinking of a couple of different things.

Basically, this is what I started with in 2010 when I first hosted my panel:

Classic money tree
No categories
3 lifelines which were: Double Dip, Freebie (Takes away one wrong answer, sorta like 50:50) and Ask the audience.

The first major change I made was in 2011 when I added Jump the question as a 4th lifeline, but kept everything else the same.

But ever since the beginning of 2012, I've kept the money tree the same, but I have added categories for all the questions, and now my lifelines are:

Ask the Audience
Double Dip
50:50
Jump the Question

And finally, the Wild card which lets a contestant re-use any 1 life line they've used previously once they reach $32,000.

Here's my statistics for my game ever since 2010: (If you want to watch these panels you can find them on youtube)

I'll keep updating this every time I run my panel again from here on out, but I would like a couple of opinions from you guys.

First, should I keep the lifelines the way they are? I'm thinking if I do change anything, I'd want to make the double dip available only after someone wins the $1,000 question.

Second, should I change the money tree itself, or keep it the same as is? I don't really see any need in changing it to be honest but I'm open to all suggestions/opinions

I was just looking at the video of some of these and thought they were pretty well done. Now I know what might be expected of me if and when I start doing conventions next year. *knock on wood*

You always do great presentations. Tonight I looked at the Anime Boston 2016 one and the (so far only) $1,000,000 winner's run in PortConMaine 2012. Hope you get another $1,000,000 winner next time.

One thing I say that is good with the presentations is the drama involved. It feels pretty close to an actual episode of WWTBAM. Making the lights darker as the game progressed is a great idea. When I saw the Anime Boston 2016 presentation for the first time earlier tonight when the contestants were about to play for $64,000 and more, I was impressed at how you did the lighting.

If only you had enough money to travel to Australia to do a show. (I know it will never actually happen)

One thing that is not so good in my opinion is this. For the YouTube audience (I am part of that) the camera is mostly at the back of the room, therefore seeing the screen is not so easy.
If for future presentations you are not able to have the camera closer to the screen, are you able to add subtitles for the YouTube clips?

Hope you do well on the next presentation.

Many thanks

Yeah I wanted to make sure I had someone working the lights in the room to give a better effect overall in terms of the gameplay. It's definitely been a work in progress in terms of making the game more exciting over the last few years and I think the last few times I've ran the game, I've been VERY happy with how it turned out.

Next time I run it will be in 2 months at PortConMaine again

And as far as the video goes, I actually like keeping the camera near the back, cause I mainly am using that to also show Funimation how big the crowd gets in terms of watching the panel. They just sent me another box of prizes to give out as well so their sponsorship for my game is still going great!

Funimation do a great job in sponsoring your show. It makes the prizes worth fighting for.
When you said in the Anime Boston 2016 video that smartphones, tablets and gift cards were grand prizes (exclusive $1,000,000 winner prizes) I was amazed that your budget was able to stretch that far. It was a pleasant surprise.

If you were to add subtitles which would be able to be turned on or off for the Youtube audience, would Funimation hate the fact that the crowd could get a little bit blocked?

It's hard to say but I try to make it so that the questions can be seen without needing any extra effects put into the video. The only time I've had to fix this was last year at Anime Boston 2015 where someone blocked the camera for nearly all of my panel so what I did was recapture the gameplay myself using screen capture software and then placed it over the person blocking the camera where the projector screen was initially. Here's the video:

And yeah I have a pretty good budget for the game itself, including the sponsorships from Funimation and also the Animaine convention, plus I get a lot of stuff from where I work which also helps quite a bit

Next event is in three days! Hopefully we can have another Millionaire at PortConMaine 2016.
