A couple of viewers said that they found it interesting and others say it was a little distracting to the main content. Unfortunately, I have had mixed feedback on it. The idea was taken from the tickers on news programmes where they display general information over top of the current news story. I was hoping that during a quiet period in the stream such as when I was working through a problem, that the viewers would be able to pass some of the time reading the headlines. My attempt was a scrolling ticker of RSS feeds that pulled headlines from related news sites such as Wired, and Gamasutra. The original idea was to keep new viewers on the stream long enough to find something of interest that they could engage in rather then channel jump to another stream. I ended up spending too much time on overcomplicated overlay for my stream.
Using basic Javascript and HTML, I quickly put together a webpage which displayed the time using Javascript and used the CLR Browser to overlay it on the stream. In my case, I couldn’t find a simple clock plugin to show the local time. There are two plugins that I used throughout all my streams, CLR Browser plugin and OBS Remote.ĬLR Browser is incredibly powerful as it allows you to place a browser window any where on your stream which opens up accessibility to use any web page including ones that are self developed.

Ideally you need a hefty CPU like an Intel i7 or use a second dedicated PC purely for encoding.

The alternative setup is to use the H.264 software encoder reportedly can produce same or better quality encoding at lower bitrates then either QuickSync or Nvidia NVENC at the cost of CPU usage.

Over the next month or so, I will be writing about the whole period over a series of posts covering different areas. You can find my profile on Twitch, past broadcasts on YouTube and stream highlights.
Inspiration came from the Double Fine Adventure documentary series where the company created revenue documenting how they developed the game, which would normally be the byproduct of games development.

I wanted to see if it was possible to create a games development Twitch stream with enough viewers to generate a big enough revenue to become a full time job. This contrasted the game playing streams with thousands of viewers who lurk or fill chat with emotes. This wasn’t huge by any means but was promising as most of the viewers were engaged with the streamer or with the rest of chat.

Watching someone write code for hours at a time isn’t exactly the most exciting of prospects for a viewer and yet before I started this, some of the top game dev streamers on Twitch were averaging 50-100 concurrent viewers. During the summer, I wanted to experiment with live streaming games development to see if it could become a workable career path in the same way as live streaming playing games has become over the past few years.
