I made a Starter Pack for the unique streamer shoutouts we've done in the past year (and more!) Every account here is a creative streamer who is pushing the boundaries of the medium with vtubing, gamedev, or sheer force of will. Guaranteed mind-blown if you check them out. go.bsky.app/G2feP1M

EMERGENCY STREAM TUTORIAL: Here's how to trigger stream effects with voice detection in OBS. I'm using the Audio Move plugin to set up a No Scream Challenge. If you scream during a horror game, your vtuber model disappears into the void. YT Link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2_p...

Thank you Shindigs, I went ahead and added my own spin by adding a separate Warudo camera angle and added a stroke around the alpha mask! very cool (no I'm not actually talking)

OBS TUTORIAL: How to make a Persona Cut-In for your Vtuber (or flesh) in OBS. I started a 2nd channel to record more off-the-cuff tutorials and eventually general stream clips. Yes I have 2nd channel syndrome, and I'm working through it. YT VIDEO: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6P14...

I played chat jumper with my chat #vtuber

ANNOUNCEMENT: I've released a game that links to your Twitch Chat, and turns their messages into a platforming game. Every level there's a different chat challenge like emote only or unique words. It can connect to your channel or any other channel on Twitch. Play now! itch.io/game/summary...

highly rec this game, tysm shin 🫡 misa crashed out with ironmouse's chat tho LOL

UPDATE: You can connect this game to ANY CHANNEL on Twitch, so you can try to reach the top with other people's chats. I just made an update that improves performance on much larger channels and busier chats. Thank you for the positive reception <3 Demo in the video:

I have finished coding a small game and the final build size is 67mb

much is happening

Need a vtuber model toggle that lets me hold a tiny earbud mic

what are we doing here

it’s @jamsvirtual.bsky.social ‘s birthday!! drew somethin for ya *ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ✩‧₊˚🎂🥮🎂🥮

OBS is getting a plugin manager which will make creating interactive effects so much easier. You will still need to do a bit of setup, but having plug-ins immediately searchable in OBS will make it so much easier to get people set up.

More updates to a platformer game controlled by Twitch Chat. Platforms spawn per chat message, letting you climb to higher levels. Each level has a different chat challenge, ex. messages must be emotes only. Curious if other streamers want to try this with their community

NL's peloton discord channel is one of the funniest places in the world

Watching the GTA VI trailer and StarCraft trailer reset my brain to just be a little gamer piggy. I have no other thoughts than they look like good games and cool announcements.

In the new StarCraft trailer, the gun jams with a software error/mechanical error. In older cutscenes show them running out of ammo. Are Terran guns more unreliable in the future? Did their military software get worse? Is this enshittification in the Terran Dominion?

It's 9/11 so I get to remind people that Mimi was at ground zero canonically

This is THE iPhone that will make me happy

Every so often I think about how much in my life has been free and easy due to never owning a nintendo 64.

MY DRPG SEALED FORTRESS IS COMING TO STEAM (and Itchio) SOON! If you could wishlist the game it would make my day 🥰 store.steampowered.com/app/5210640/...

When the camera zooms out and you realize he's inside Elizabeth's Home.

Made a sketch artist game where you have to draw the character based on witness testimony neal.fun/unusual-susp...

this is a sith lightsaber, from the war. I keep it on a shelf right next to my stormtrooper armor and imperial officer’s uniform. I’ve even got a verified chunk of the death star from yavin. I’m just a collector. I just think the history is interesting. no, I don’t have any rebel stuff

We need a documentary of AnyAustin's preparation for GTA VI.

The problem with socializing in San Francisco is it’s too planslop. Gotta plan a week in advance We need to embrace hangslop, like New York City (the big apple)

Rebranding "live streaming" into "content popup".

I've been learning game development so I could add homing missiles to my stream overlay. Each missile locks on to an individual chatter and blasts them off the screen.

Legendary algorithm pull

opensource austin powers be like "shall we fork now or fork later?"

We should rebrand the concept of "literary classics" into "retro novels." Literacy rates would skyrocket.

the developers of the new austin powers game have switched to godot

I bought one of those emulation handhelds and it instantly one-shotted me into a retro-slop guy.

I can throw darts at my Twitch Chat to pin them on the screen. I gave my chat the ability to do a backflip, and I can throw a dart when they're mid-air, to pin them against the wall. Pinned chatters get text-to-speech as a prize.

thinking about godot like crazy

I made a stream overlay where I can pin Twitch Chat avatars on my screen. So I tried to cover my entire screen with pinned Chatters, and gave them text-to-speech to talk all at once. A beautiful chorus of voices.

I made a game out of my Twitch Chat, where viewers can shoot lasers into other chatters. I can pick up individual chatters and have them rain destruction from above.

W's in the chat actually came from Japanese livestreaming culture. Japanese chatters would spam "wwwwww" to indicate they are laughing. Why? Because in Japanese culture: if you're laughing, you're winning.

I made a stream overlay that shows viewers leaving the stream when they get bored. If a viewer becomes an inactive chatter, they literally walk off screen. This may be the most demoralizing stream overlay I've ever created.
