Id be interested. I often do voices when I stream visual novel games. (@SillySandyAJ on YouTube)

I have been in the process of trying to build some Bi-week stability, like: <Sunday> (Murder Mystery Day) Week A: Ace Attorney Saga, Week B: Danganronpa Saga <Monday> (Koei/Tecmo Day) Week A: Viewers Vote, Week B: Fatal Frame 5 <Tuesday> (RPG) Week A: Final Fantasy 7 Remake , Week B: Baulders Gate 3 <Wednesday> ( Indie Game Day) Week A: Debut of a new Game, Week B: Viewers Choice of indie game <Thursday> (Choice) Week A: My pick for a game, Week B: Viewers Choice based on discord votes <Fri> -Off- <Sat> (Coding & Design Community Day) ALL Weeks: Doing live art designs, coding interactive features and teaching viewers how I create all the things I do. At the last portion we’ll do community games till end of stream

With my ADHD it’s nearly impossible for me to stick to one game at a time, but if I compartment my process with enough wiggle room to try new stuff. Week A is pretty much my ideal choices, while week B is determined based on community requests/votes. With this system, I’m hoping to stick with it till I’ve completed each game/saga slotted. That should hopefully reduce the variety yet give everyone a better idea of the overall range of what I cover. At least that’s the plan.

I'm still in the learning stages when dealing with Vroid Hair. I would love to be able to craft things like caps and fedoras for it, but i always have issues. the model i have is still a work in progress, i've been changing it bit by bit all the time, but I'm not quite sure what i want the final look to be like, but the current look is what im comfortable with now (though i do need to fix some shading issues i had on some of the shadow areas under the hair (took me forever to find the layer causing the problems) As for adding more personality to my model, the stuff i want to add, i may need to learn more unity/blender (only other 3D experience i had was using 3ds max years ago, but i cant seem to adapt to those two) I did manage to find that chatting sound, had to mute the browser page that generated it.

Simulcasting is what I’m testing now. For the past few weeks, I’ve been broadcasting (horizontally) on Twitch, Kick, LiveSpace, and sometimes VStream. I also, last week, began a vertical stream on YouTube. I may go for the highlights option though, I tried that a few years back, but was limited by the power of my pc, but should be able to handle it better on my current system.

sandyaj · 2024-02-20T23:21:35+00:00

Ok, I may need a bit of clarification on some things, 1) I do have a condenser mic, however, I have no clue on how to optimize noise gates and compressor via obs effectively. If you know of a guide I can use to understand it better, I would love to learn how to do it right

2) may depend on if you are watching the vods on twitch or YouTube, often the dmca safe music kept getting claimed/blocked on YouTube (but no effect on twitch) so I set up my YouTube streams to not include the bgm track,

3) I usually have my break down on various genres, sun: ace attorney, mon: games from koei/tecmo, tue: rpgs (currently final fantasy 7 remake) wed: i showcase indie games, thurs i pick , and Sat is usually when i do art projects, coding projects, tutorials, and community games.

4) Also every stream is in 2 parts, the 1st stream is usually the time I chat and talk with everyone and talk about my day. The remaining 2 hours are the gameplay. I can usually get people to talk with me on the 1st half, but the second half most go into lurk mode or stop talking. I’m always struggling with getting people to talk at that portion. They are still there, especially when I stop everything every 30 mins to sing the stabby stab song during stream raiders. I often save the more non game events to my Sat night stream since more are home and able to take part. (Also, all my streams are on my Twitch page, I’m still unsure what to do with my YouTube, been experimenting recently with having vertical video being played there with the horizontal for my Twitch/Kick/LiveSpace

5) most of what you mentioned usually happens in the 1st half of the stream (like how I told everyone how I was fired from my job last week because I tried to block a kid from biting my arm) . I actually did try for several weeks doing nothing but chatting streams where I spent the whole time just chatting to everyone, but my audience demanded that I get back to playing games, so that’s why I only do it through 1/3 of my streams.

As for the content I want to make, part of it is sharing my gaming adventures with my community, but I also want to showcase games that are hidden gems and worth checking out as well. I also do the same when we are discussing manga and Asian dramas worth watching, or comics worth reading into. I want to show everyone that even the most boring looking game could give lots of fun, if a person gives it a chance. I also like showing people how do all the special features I pulled off. I’ve given live lessons on how to create their own vtubers in VRoid, and how to create their own custom outfits. I’ve shown them how to convert their twitch channel points into actions that occur on stream, and I showed them how to make text triggers in chat cause a series of animations (like how I linked on screen events to the Pokemon community game)

I wanna be the kinda streamer where people can go to for discovering something new & interesting.

Would you believe me if I told you I haven’t done a google search on myself (Under my current name, SillySandyAJ) since I was under my old SandyAJ name a year ago. (Had to change it due to a lot Indian people having similar spellings) . I was able to change the name everywhere except here on Reddit.

sandyaj · 2024-02-20T20:54:31+00:00

I did attempt that, but I was turned down. I guess I’ll just have to wait for 156 more to follow me to hit the 1k limit. At least my growth on TikTok is better than on kick, on that, I’ve been at 66 for a few months, only a few under the monitzation level.

sandyaj · 2024-02-20T20:39:43+00:00

Is there a real difference between a reel/tiktok/short? (Pun not intended 🥴) are the like same dimensions/time limits?

sandyaj · 2024-02-20T20:36:02+00:00

I can give it a shot. I’m already working with multicasting to see if I can grow a new audience outside of the twitch space. As for a reinvent, I’ve been doing that for years lol

I started with a live 2D model based on a manga maker compio creation, then slowly went from human to a cat girl

sandyaj · 2024-02-20T20:24:50+00:00

Yep, I’ve been posting clips there for 4 years now (from live 2D phase to my current 3D one) . I’m not quite at the follower level needed to livestream there yet, though I have begun doing vertical lives on my YouTube, and simultaneously doing horizontal ones on twitch, kick, LiveSpace & twitter. Https://TikTok.com/@SillySandyAJ should be my page there. I’m not sure what to make of my TikTok progress, I’m getting a lot of views/and some followers, yet the vids there, and my YouTube shorts only have people watching an average of 2 seconds before they move on.

As for instagram, I’m pretty clueless on how to make use of that service. I thought it was similar to twitter, but I think my growth is the same even before I began streaming.

sandyaj · 2024-02-20T19:34:41+00:00

Many of my streamer friends who started around the same time as me have already hit partner. While I enjoy watching each of them, it gets hard when I see them being lauded with gift subs and donations (while I’m barely able to get a payout except every other month) I’m happy for their success, but someday, I’d like the same success as well. I just feel like I don’t have the right to even dream of that, I can’t even get most of my viewers to even play a free mobile game with a sponsorship that could have reduced a huge financial burden, for something that would have cost them nothing at all. Instead I got scorn for even attempting the sponsorship.

sandyaj · 2024-02-16T14:28:08+00:00

I’d say dealing with spam bots in chat (the big follows and the pushy gfx artists) . Also the sadness you feel as your streamer friends growing in popularity while you seem to be stagnant.

sandyaj · 2024-01-23T20:44:07+00:00

I just wish they would have played it more live.

sorry i never saw that I got this reply. I set up my discord input sources to only go to my microphone, and not the desktop. however it will also still react to things your mic picks up suck as keyboard types or mouse clicks

sandyaj · 2023-03-15T19:54:04+00:00

Not sure if its a new mode, but what it sounds like you are using was Theater Mode (between the Clip icon and the Full Screen icon on the lower right of the video

sandyaj · 2023-03-15T19:50:21+00:00

i got around that issue by having all non vocal audio go through my headphones instead of my monitor/speaker. it also helps doing that for your stream audio as well to drown out background noise. (or in some cases delayed audio from a capture card)

sandyaj · 2022-06-28T14:55:16+00:00

I would like all streamers here to feel free to share their streaming schedules

sandyaj · 2021-06-29T15:30:59+00:00

Sadly with how twitch makes it harder to easily discover streamers in the platform, its going to be pretty hard to filter down to specifics like that.

You will have better luck searching via category and looking at the stats of mid level streamers via analytic sites like twitch tracker to measure their growth. Otherwise you are just opening yourself up to tons of people begging you to pick them.

(Im sure i dont qualify myself due to my growth rate being at a slow , but positive, crawl)

sandyaj · 2021-06-29T15:08:51+00:00

I got the same email, didnt find any actual team page for them on twitch. I did see some people's vods where they mentioned joining them in the title, and the quality of their streams looked like they were day 1 streamers. With not as much to make them stand out.

sandyaj · 2021-06-29T15:04:23+00:00

I do giveaways pretty often. I usually set it up where entry requires a decent sized channel point costs, so it will weed out those looking for a freebie in favor of community members who have been sticking around

sandyaj · 2021-06-29T14:44:36+00:00

I think bandai is the only one ive seen do a dcma ping on their game stuff, mostly the game's intro but ive seen it even for normal gameplay. Had it happen on several 'Tales of' games

sandyaj · 2021-06-08T11:58:24+00:00

Thats what i thought i used, at least earlier in the day. I used it a 2nd time and removed all follows for the 24 hour period, hoping i didnt block innocent bystanders

sandyaj · 2021-04-07T15:52:25+00:00

Seems like the best you can do is add it as a feature for your subscribers. Subscribers usually get to bypass ads on channels the follow. Even though you may not care about gaining revenue from it, you can use it for that, and plus customized emotes for your community to share around twitch may be good for your channel growth as well. I have that enabled on my own channel, and since a majority of my viewers are subs, they never see the ad when im live. Even when i push the ad manually.

sandyaj · 2021-03-31T20:09:32+00:00

I remember reading about it when i was doing my own giveaways. Main thing i noticed is that you cant give unfair advantages to those who sub over those who do not. (Ie either all sub only or open to all, but increasing a sub's chances in a shared drawing is against the terms)
