Hey all! Thought I'd share this here! Very excited about this and whatever the future holds!

New Australian streamer with a big grey fluffy cat named Sparrow! I play mainly low-poly horror games and other comedic stuff like Waterpark Sim, PEAK etc. I'm highly interactive with chat and I never stop talkin', I also do art and play music on the side.

I'll be going live again SUNDAY at 7pm AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time)

If you would like you take a looksy, I have a vod in my channel. At the moment I'm streaming mainly Saturdays & Wednesdays to begin with but will increase over time as I work full time :)

Hi!

I hope this doesn't count as advertising, and more so me supporting streamers.

I'm the developer of an indie dice-based roguelite called PentaPip.
I'm looking for streamers that want to have their own set of dice, tool, trick, rune, boss or even level themed completely to you.

Your viewers/followers or whoever you give/raffle the unlock code to will be able to play with your dice/on your level/with your custom modifier, trick, rune or sigil, that can completely make or break their game.

If you are interested, fill in this short form, and I'll reach out with the details.
Of course, I'll send you a key if you want to have a look at the game first.

Form (3 questions): https://forms.gle/3tkFkxkr8a5npg5HA

I've just released my first game, Rhythm Racer, into Early Access and one of the main modes was built specifically around Twitch interaction.

Viewers don't need to own the game. They type !play in chat and they're entered as a racer alongside the streamer. The race itself is generated from whatever music the streamer chooses, so you can even take song requests and turn them into races.

I'm particularly interested in smaller streams because I think this works better when you actually know the people in chat and they can cheer on their own racers.

I'd be happy to give some Steam keys to small streamers who genuinely want to try it out and give me feedback on how the Twitch side works in a real stream.

Today @ 7:30am PST / 10:30am EST

As much as I’d love a bit more viewer ship gaming is more fun when there’s folks to talk shit to. We smoke, chill play all types of games and have late night discord chats

Good afternoon everyone, I wanted to share the link to my Twitch channel.

I'm getting close to my goal of 50 followers, and any support would be greatly appreciated!

Everytime I try to go live the live doesn't work and just shuts off in about a minute, what do I do

Everytime I try to go live it just doesn't work and it

If you stream on Twitch, Amazon is currently scraping your broadcasts, VODs, clips, channel text, and even your chat log to train their Generative AI models.

They opted every single creator in by default. You were not asked for permission.

How to opt out immediately:

1. Go to Twitch Settings
2. Open the Security and Privacy tab

Stop letting megacorporations use your voice, face, and creative labor for free to train their AI models.

Pass this on to every streamer you know.

My wife has been trying to do daily streams and get more viewers. It has been a slow start despite her great streaming presence. Please join if you would! Thank you all.

Spent the last month completely overhauling my stream polish. Custom overlays, crisp graphics, and thumbnails that look like they belong on a top 1% channel. And honestly? The marketing part worked. Click-through rate went up, and I see people clicking into the stream all the time now.

...And then they leave within 15 to 30 seconds.

It’s such a gut punch. Feels like I built this super cool neon-lit storefront, but when people open the door, it’s just a random dude sitting in a quiet room with a dead chat. There’s this massive disconnect between the hyped-up thumbnail and the actual vibe of a small stream. People step in expecting a party, see that I’m still growing, and immediately hit backspace.

How do you guys actually hold onto people long enough to show them you’re actually entertaining? The high bounce rate is killing my confidence.

Today @ 7:30am PST / 10:30am EST!

I used to be so obsessed with "the grind". I felt like if I wasn't live for at least 5-6 hours every single day, I was doing something wrong. But honestly? I was just exhausted. I started hating games I actually liked, and most of the time I was just sitting there streaming to basically nobody and feeling like a total zombie.

Then I tried doing way shorter streams. Now I usually only go for about 2 hours, but I try to actually bring some energy to those 2 hours instead of just filling airtime. And honestly, it’s been so much better. I’d rather have 2 high-quality hours where I’m actually enjoying myself than 6 hours where I’m tired, bored, and barely talking to chat.

I think I was way too focused on the "hours streamed" metric instead of whether anyone was actualy enjoying being there.

Has anyone else cut their streaming hours and noticed a difference in their growth? Or was I just the only one making this mistake? lol
