OBJECTIVE: Build a really cool & functional stadium with themed sections based off of my love of watching American NFL football & particularly Red Zone (7 hours commercial free football), and my love for playing Football (the worlds sport) virtually in the video game FIFA (EA FC as it’s now known as) with my friends in the Clubs mode. I really love slide tackling as well, and generally being a bit of a menace on the pitch as I portray a character known as J E R O M E (spelt just like that).

So that leads to a 4 section stadium with lots & lots of details. And after around 200 hours, it’s …. Still not done haha but it will be eventually. Different posts will be cross linked at the bottom of this post for different areas & sections, all the way down to custom shops named after teammates in my FC club.

From the beginning….

I had this idea to start with one individual section & then once it’s fully ready to go, copy it all & place them together (not counting the corner sections as those are different).

I’m really happy with how it turned out in the end, it pieced together easier than I thought it would. Was definitely some additional work to fully bring things together but we got there.

The idea is to have 4 rows down low with in game park benches, then interiors with bathrooms & food & drink, plus a fake kitchen under the stairs going up to the club level which is more benches & general areas to sit & more food & drink.

Underneath the club levels is staff pathing leading to staff break rooms. Inside the mid level food & drink area is giant TVs playing clips from our club games.

You will see lots of alterations used in this park, I love them. Soirée is such a fun word. Our team in FC is indeed a spicy squad, and this is where theme park goers can gather to meet a spicy boi, see a show, ride one of the coasters (coming soon), or of course, have some delicious food & drink!

Club level is known as the Spicy Club House. I love making these signs, scenery & details are my favorite thing. The spicy icon 🌶️ is made up of 21 different 1D text pieces put together.

Here is the outside of the stadium piece, alongside another sign I love, and me testing some different ideas for the names of sections.

To wrap this post, the stairs from the top of the club level. And some floaty things in the background (you’ll see that a lot on this blog).

Additional stadium posts in the future I will (try to remember to) link here:

Thanks for reading. ✍️

Welcome to Very Important Park, which was originally named Very Important Pool for the giant diamond shaped pool. I just call it VIP Park when referring to it, which I realize is an oxymoron(?) or redundant, but anyways…

This is at the heart of the park, as the VIPs & my beautiful 25x MOTM (Mod of the Month) are the heart of what has made streaming so special to me over the years. This giant diamond shaped pool with an outer pink diamond is shaped like the VIP badge given to Twitch chatters by the streamer. It’s a huge pathway in game that will have trees all round it, shops, seating, and fun ways to enter the pool.

The slogan under the sign which I’ll let you read for yourself, is an endearing term I coined years ago on stream when talking to the great RonnieBallGame, a great person who I met through Twitch & who I still miss very much to this day. 💜 RBG. The original sound bite of me saying it to him plays on loop as you enter this building. I like to look at this statement (turned slogan) by me as my version of “are you not entertained��� 😂

This is where I spent lots of time the first few weeks after the game came out in November 2024. Inspired by YouTuber Geekism, I really enjoyed making these custom tube storage areas (which are just purely scenery & NPCs won’t interact with them but oh well).

I love slogans, I love signs, I love being silly, and I loveeeeee scenery in this game. So yeah! Lots of sign pics incoming on this blog!

The Jungle Drift River flows through this part of the outer diamond path, and into the giant diamond shaped pool. I love how all of this area looks at night. The fence on just one side of this is around 250 pieces if I remember correctly. So around 500 total pieces for the fence around this pool. I spent a lot time on this 😂 4 pieces in each square segment. Also the built in pool lighting is so great 🤩🤩🤩

Caught this funny scene of a lifeguard bored out of his mind since I did not have the park open yet and there was not much for him to do but the game automatically hires a lifeguard to go with the chair when you place a new chair, which makes sense. Come to think of it, this may be my first official employee I hired in the park… ✍️

Jer’s Jungle is imagined to be a sprawling theme park full of so much detail & customization, all the way down to the shop names & menu items. And most everything else in between. I began working on the park the day the game came out in November 2024, I’m 650 hours in, and here is some of the early screenshots of its development.

I envision a Jungle theme based on my favorite PUBG (battle royale video game) map, Sanhok. A Jungle full of so much greenery, trees, bushes, rocks, with tropical vibes mixed in.

A Jungle of different sub sections with their own themes that are of importance to me in this journey of streaming on Twitch.

To conclude this post, a *VERY* rough sketch I did of where I think things would fit… like the stadium, a mythical cloudsville, Jermas (Xmas in my channel) World Village, AJR Land (my favorite band in the world), On Top of the 🌎 (highest point in the park), and of course VI which could only mean GTA VI.

I’m excited to share the progress I’ve made so far and will hopefully continue to make on these different sub sections that all come together to make one giant Jungle of Twitch Memories. ✍️

As I await GTA 6, I’m playing Planet Coaster 2, and going all in on a highly detailed theme park that is brewing from a notepad full of ideas that I started last year when the game was announced.

It has all morphed into the most ambitious on stream project I have ever undertaken… a highly detailed, hand crafted, sprawling theme park that is all about references to my Twitch stream, and the people that have made it so special over the nearly 7 years I’ve been streaming.

It’s a passion project that means a lot to me. I expect to spend 1,500 hours (650 hrs in so far) or more to complete this one, giant, detailed park. I will be showcasing different elements of it here on this blog, to encapsulate it and document what it means to me.

It’s a showcase & documentary behind the scenes of making an insane virtual theme park of 150K+ individual pieces, as a way of bidding farewell to this incredible, fun, unique, memorable journey of streaming on Twitch for 7 years and meeting so many amazing people, getting to explore so many fun creative ideas I’ve had since childhood, and most importantly finding myself.

This theme park project is also the most perfect way for me to pass the time until GTA 6, as I just lose track of time so easily, it flys by everyday that I work on the park. But when I’m not building the park, I’m probably thinking about GTA 6 & writing about it on My GTA Diary, another blog of mine!

In the meantime, thanks for reading this far, and welcome to Jer’s Jungle! ✍️
