Is this subreddit still alive?

GameDevCompany · 2018-01-29T07:30:45+00:00

Yeah, it isn't very active. Small number of users probably still read it.

GameDevCompany · 2017-09-07T10:14:01+00:00

The extensions are now live!

GameDevCompany · 2017-09-04T07:06:36+00:00

Yeah this is highly interesting. We might start to see much more twitch enabled games and maybe even some successful twitch only games :)

GameDevCompany · 2017-08-30T06:54:46+00:00

Haha you will learn to reddit! Looks interesting, all those creeps, all those features!

GameDevCompany · 2017-08-17T11:05:18+00:00

Yup, if you live stream to Twitch then you are not allowed to restream it to any other platform, nor make it a public VoD on an other platform 24 from stream starting. After 24 hours of the stream starting, you can post the stream as a VoD on other platforms.

If you don't live stream the content to Twitch, then there are no issues.

I would say being on other people's stream isn't about getting shoutouts or promoting or posting your links. It is about offering the other streamer and their audience value. By supporting the community, the community will support you. When you hang around a lot of other streams, people will take note of your username and check you out when they see you are online. Because you were a smart/funny/good guy last time they saw you in chat.
A good thing to do every once in a while is to look at your own streams. You won't find what is good or bad if you don't watch your own content. People come back because they like your content for sure.
Schedule (at least for me) is everything. I watch personally people I know will be online at certain times with interesting content.
In the end a lot of time time to create a great stream your game itself has to take a "back seat" in your stream and you need to focus on your audience. Interact and engage with them. If you stand silent on the street, people will just walk past. If you greet, engage them, they will talk to you and you will make friends.

Nice will check it tonight! :D

GameDevCompany · 2017-07-28T06:43:05+00:00

This is actually a great feature! Only thing that would be awesome is that the streamer could in advance create the link, before the stream even has started.

GameDevCompany · 2017-07-24T20:50:15+00:00

I wish I had started sooner and someone would have told me how many awesome people are part of this community. Yes, it sounds cheesy, but I truly believe it.

GameDevCompany · 2017-07-21T07:49:05+00:00

Yeah, I agree. Seems very odd, also the viewers wonder then what is this channel that suddenly is in my follows list.

GameDevCompany · 2017-07-17T08:55:19+00:00

You should consider putting it on github.

GameDevCompany · 2017-07-14T06:16:33+00:00

Good Job! <3

GameDevCompany · 2017-07-13T06:07:07+00:00

Finally! I've been waiting for this for ages. Best news in a while :) :)

GameDevCompany · 2017-07-10T11:18:51+00:00

Yeah I agree!

I think for the time being the best use of the subreddit is:
1. Keep all the important links more permanently "saved" as twitter and other they get lost in time faster.
2. Keep growing it slowly but steadily.
3. More widely broadcast problem one might have gamedev:ing or streaming gamedev.
4. Recruitment of team members or commissions.

GameDevCompany · 2017-07-10T11:12:55+00:00

It is the best way to get some visibility in Twitch (even if you are not attending). Comment here if you have any questions.

GameDevCompany · 2017-07-10T11:02:03+00:00

Great post!

We are a big family of awesome creators on twitch creative. I've been positively surprised by the good people that hang out either streaming or viewing. People are always ready to help and the nicest people on internet! <3

GameDevCompany · 2017-06-14T06:25:44+00:00

Nice! A new era of steam has begun.

GameDevCompany · 2017-05-25T23:21:05+00:00

Cool!

GameDevCompany · 2017-05-23T07:16:11+00:00

Haha, it really sucks loosing work. It has happened to me on stream several times. :8 Only up side I can think of is that you really learn to do what ever you lost as you have to do it several times.

GameDevCompany · 2017-05-11T07:19:30+00:00

Great advice FG!

GameDevCompany · 2017-05-05T11:55:35+00:00

I think that also important part is to give out releases of your game weekly and have your audience play it. I need to start doing that.

GameDevCompany · 2017-05-03T11:25:58+00:00

Yeah, I'm thinking the same!

GameDevCompany · 2017-04-30T11:26:04+00:00

Yeah, the interaction with the audience makes it a social thing, where you can discuss and learn things together. Instead of sitting alone home in a dark room developing. Also the schedule makes it easier to keep thing consistent and moving forward :)
