WACCA Reverse VOD is gonna be a little while longer, it's over 6 hours long and I have to add in all the song audio manually lol. I'm also planning on making a "Bits & Banter" since the tournament highlights are really meant to be gameplay focused and remove a lot of the chatter

Jaio @jaio.dev · 20/09/2026

Since the pools stage happened at the same time as WACCA Top 8, there was no full stream w/ card draw and commentary, so the first 30m or so is just game captures. Sorry about that, it's just how the schedule for the event had to go :(

Seeing RG events happen so commonly in the midwest really makes me wonder why I don't see them much elsewhere. At least in Florida the only MD/LG scale tourney outside of cons I know about in memory was my maimai tournament back in March. Maybe I should start doing more?

Jaio @jaio.dev · 18/09/2026

Since a few people came up and asked me during TDI2, I do plan to polish this bundle up (at least the card picker/player manager) and release as a rhythm game events helper package. Likely won't include any of the OCR since that's all way to scuffed for me to want to release.

Time for the Devil Incarnate 2: Lily Edition megathread/behind the scenes. I have a lot to say about the event and week surrounding it (positively), and like with other events, I'd like to reflect over the production and community! #wacca #chunithm #tdi2 #rhythmgames

Final thoughts (for now), this event was phenomenal, and for my first time traveling out for anything gaming related, this truly was the single best week of my life. I hope to have more, but there really is no telling if I'll be able to. Love you all 💖

Shoutouts to RAM for the beautiful artwork on the acrylics that the winners and active volunteers received (as well as the LiGHTHOUSE jacket)! As well, thanks to aromelon and ViViDS for making various artworks handed out at the event!

Jaio @jaio.dev · 17/09/2026

And of course Sightread tourney went incredibly well! A lot of incredible emotions throughout the room, especially heading into LiGHTHOUSE by Lundy and the bracket reset afterwards. I genuinely don't know if it'll be possible to top this, but it's worth trying.

Jaio @jaio.dev · 17/09/2026

And of course, the players brought their all. Shoutout @sheepsquared.bsky.social for winning both WACCA brackets and yonokid for winning the CHUNITHM bracket. All pools had a lot of good win trains going, and a lot of surprising upsets!

Jaio @jaio.dev · 17/09/2026

Aside from some human errors, there were very few technical issues with the stream or cabinets! One instance of a WACCA cab restarting and pushing an update, but otherwise the whole event ran very smoothly. Having all of the tech fit under "KISS" helps a lot haha.

Jaio @jaio.dev · 17/09/2026

The community as a whole seemed to really like the layouts, and compared to TDI1 I love having the extra info on screen, especially for non-live viewing afterwards in edited VODs. I plan to make edited videos for the WACCA Reverse, WACCA Sightread, and CHUNITHM tournaments!

Jaio @jaio.dev · 17/09/2026

Like always, the graphics were built using NodeCG, integrating a custom song picker to the stream. I also played with OCR for the first time to get custom graphics for the score + judgements on the WACCA layouts. Definitely jank, but for a first go, it worked really well!

110

Jaio @jaio.dev · 17/09/2026

As for the layouts, the art assets were made by @saintsfgil.bsky.social and put together for stream myself. It was an interesting challenge working in an art style I'm really not used to, but I'm very happy with the results! I made custom layouts for WACCA 4p, WACCA 2p, and CHUNITHM 2p.

Jaio @jaio.dev · 17/09/2026

The machines were all moved for Wednesday, although we didn't do any production setup until Thursday, mostly routing display splitters and capture cards to the production PC in the center of the room. Various little routing issues stopped us leaving until like 3:30am lol.

Jaio @jaio.dev · 17/09/2026

Hilariously, there were a lot of random objects people brought in to have everyone sign. Most normal, a cutout of Crafty's character, but there was also a WACCA license plate and (most hilariously) a copy of The Lorax on DVD.

121

Jaio @jaio.dev · 17/09/2026

People came from all around the country to play, commentate, and spectate, it's truly incredible that the community is able to come together like this to form one massive event. To everyone that came out, I love you all. 💖

Jaio @jaio.dev · 17/09/2026

Firstly, I'd like to shoutout nb1rs for organizing the full event, and Dj / @pokeyis.gay for TOing. This event wouldn't exist at all without you three. 💖 And of course, Arcade Legacy for hosting the venue, this arcade rules and had everything I could've wanted.

Updated bio on active platforms to include event production cause like... I've been doing a lot of that the past couple of years from speedruns to rhythm games, and TDI2 has made me want to do it a lot more semi-professionally.

Jaio @jaio.dev · 15/09/2026

full thread/bts coming sometime this week like I did with the flmai tourney, and I'll be editing the three VODs and posting them to youtube. thanks to nb1rs and Arcade Legacy for hosting, @pokeyis.gay and Dj (and more) for TOing, and everyone that came to play 💖

The maimai FLORiDA Community Tournament is all over now, and I'd like to reflect over the weekend, both with the community and event itself, as well as the production and some of the mishaps we had with it. (1/X) #maimai #maimaiでらっくす #maimaiDX

im sorry i didnt know you had a bsky i wouldve tagged D:

Jaio @jaio.dev · 31/03/2026

Lastly I just want to give the biggest shoutouts to those who helped me set this up: @rinr.online , catfxngs, Mark4447, and Concubus (i dont think the rest of them have bsky lol sry) This weekend was fucking incredible, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Maybe over summer? Stay tuned.

Jaio @jaio.dev · 31/03/2026

Late in the stream we got a welcome surprise with @starrodkirby86.bsky.social hopping in! Definitely exciting to see the face of maimai in the US on our little stream (and yes, referencing our game capture issues too). And of course, thank you for the shoutout on Twitter as well. (7/X)

111

Jaio @jaio.dev · 31/03/2026

We wanted to use real captures for the game, but we were unprepared for the ALLS not having the ports we thought, like the video for a side being DP, not HDMI. We just used a headphone jack for the audio, which wasn't ideal, since volume changes meant bass boosting. (6/X)

111

Jaio @jaio.dev · 31/03/2026

This was actually my first IRL event I've done tech for, everything over the past 5 years has been online. The graphics were built using NodeCG with a custom set picker for matches. P2 cam was wired, with P1 being wireless using an iPad with vdoninja by xyster. (5/X)

121

Jaio @jaio.dev · 31/03/2026

The event itself went nearly perfectly aside from some cab disconnect issues. And like I mentioned before, the whole thing was streamed! You can watch back the VOD on Twitch, and I'll have an edited highlight on YouTube in the next few days. (4/X) www.twitch.tv/videos/27350...

Jaio @jaio.dev · 31/03/2026

Of course this event wasn't possible without everyone from the flmai community coming down, about half of which came from the Jacksonville area! Next tourney we'd like to host in CFL so that drive isn't as awful for them, maybe a rotation between north, south, central? (3/X)

111

Jaio @jaio.dev · 31/03/2026

I want to give a huge thank you to the owners of Arcadia in West Palm Beach for letting us host the event, and with a full stream setup, even with two other parties scheduled for that day. If you're in WBP and are looking for an arcade to go to, be sure to check out there! (2/X)

And finally (for now) a preview for released setlist DLC/YARN Pack waves! I do plan to have a whole separate set of branding and graphics for Setlist 2, making releases for that more unique compared to DLC's, collabs, or YARN Waves.
