Alright, let's do this! #AGDQ2022 broadcast graphics mega-thread! Feel free to throw questions in, I'll do my best to answer at the end... 
Tech pipeline: As much open source software as possible. Graphics are built in @nodecg, running inside @OBSProject, communicating through obs-websocket. All of that is free software, and we use it on nearly every @SupportClass project we develop.
So- why the redesign, and why no? Well, for one, it's not just about giving the graphics a new look- the old package ran on the Polymer framework, which went dormant as a project ages ago. That makes upkeep and maintenance extremely difficult.
Okay, so quick postmortem on the KH2 run. What happened, and how did we recover? WELL.... #AGDQ2022
For a run as complex as this, the runners were using their own tracking software. Those were then connecting to a Heroku server, which passed the data along to a NodeCG instance generating graphics embedded in our main package running at the studio.
Everything was verified as working before the run, and we tested that data was properly being parsed at every step of the journey. The run started, and everything looked great!
