UPDATE #2

Hi again! I made lots of progress and we are finally at the point where we can start to populate the database!

The world is uploaded privately, if you catch me online and want to see it then I can drop a portal!

Progress

- Dances can now be loaded/filtered/displayed at runtime which gives a lot of flexibility for search functionality + categories in the future.

- Dances can have multiple tags, in a separate menu you can select tags, only the dances that have the selected tags will be displayed.

- Created a Google Sheet with custom scripts for input validation, retrieving data from the YouTube API, and dropdown selection for certain parameters so adding to the database should be as easy as possible.

- Added a custom script to the Google Sheet that exports the database to json format.

- The Google Sheet is automatically backed up to my Google Drive every night, in case someone with an edit link decides to grief it.

- Added a custom menu to the Unity Editor that imports the database from said json format, updating the world with a new database should take around 10 minutes.

- Added a button for selecting a random song.

- Added a lower quality mirror that only displays the screen and the players.

Difficulties

Working for the first time with GoogleScript was uhmm interesting, but it worked out and im happy with the results.

Goals

The largest task ahead is to populate the database.

Additionally, I need to make some stability improvements to the videoplayer and add some missing features such as custom URLs.

Meanwhile @Chatmans works on the environment in the world. He is planning to create different environments for different marshall songs. Marshall uses a selection of specific locations in his videos, we aim to transport the dancers to a representation of that location.
